== Section 4 - Other Games ==
 +
 
 +
* The Gaming Office recognizes that there are more games out there than just the ones listed in the sections of this document that fleet members like to play.
 +
* This may include:
 +
** Party games, such as Among Us, Cards Against Humanity, and the Jack series quiz games
 +
** Multiplayer video games, such as Stellaris, Elite Force and Bridge Commander
 +
** Tabletop RPGs, such as Star Trek Adventures or Dungeons & Dragons
 +
* You may count the usage that you do towards these games towards Bravo Fleet gaming submissions for ribbons. However, these will have vastly different award structures than officially supported games.
 +
** Campaign Ribbons will not be awarded for any game other than an officially supported game from above.
 +
** Strategic Action Ribbons will not be awarded, as the point of this section of games is to play with other members of Bravo Fleet together and the point of the Strategic Action Ribbon is for playing as a single member of Bravo Fleet in a game.
 +
 
 +
=== Party Games ===
 +
 
 +
* Party games are classified as any game that has a drop in or out type play structure that does not require a large time commitment. This can include games that work best on mobile phones but also can include party card games or trivia style games.
 +
* These are always organized in advance as part of a Gaming Night within Bravo Fleet.
 +
 
 +
==== Combat Action Ribbons ====
 +
 
 +
* As the Combat Action Ribbon is meant as a ribbon to be given for group Bravo Fleet activities, this is the primary award for party games.
 +
* All submissions for any party games must show in a screenshot the game's lobby for each of the rounds participated in, with BFMS IDs for each player clearly designated in both the dropdowns and, most importantly, the notes for the submission designating what nickname is used for which BFMS ID.

=== Multiplayer Video Games ===
 +
 +
* A multiplayer video game in this context is a game that requires a medium to large time commitment that does not fall under any one of the supported games already listed in a section of this policy.
 +
* As games sometimes require you to "clan up" or you may get recruitment messages from other groups and wish to avoid it, you may use [4BF] in a game to signify membership within Bravo Fleet.
 +
* This is most commonly an ad-hoc gaming style, so no need for a Gaming Night, though you may want to use one to organize some matches; contact any member of the Gaming Staff and we can help with this.
 +
 +
==== Combat Action Ribbons ====
 +
 +
* These types of games can net you a Combat Action Ribbon for recording joint play with two or more members of Bravo Fleet.
 +
* As there are many types of games out there, the following information must be recorded in these types of submissions:
 +
** The name of the game;
 +
** General genre information;
 +
** How many rounds were played together; and
 +
** How long the session was.
 +
* Unlike other sections for Combat Action Ribbons, this particular section is decided on a case by case basis, as there is a very wide range of games that can be awarded for.
 +
 +
=== Tabletop Games ===
 +
 +
* These types of games are new, and cover traditionally played games played through our Discord.
 +
* Writing can be involved, but dice and character generation would be part of this.
 +
 +
=== Combat Action Ribbons ===
 +
 +
* For participating in the play of a tabletop game, you can earn Combat Action Ribbons.
 +
* As there are many types of games out there, the following information must be recorded in these types of submissions:
 +
** The name of the game;
 +
** General genre information;
 +
** How many rounds were played together; and
 +
** How long the session was.
 +
* This will have an earning table posted as soon as we have sufficient data as to what an appropriate way to award these will be.

  • Party games are classified as any game that has a drop in or out type play structure that does not require a large time commitment. This can include games that work best on mobile phones but also can include party card games or trivia style games.
  • These are always organized in advance as part of a Gaming Night within Bravo Fleet.

Combat Action Ribbons

  • As the Combat Action Ribbon is meant as a ribbon to be given for group Bravo Fleet activities, this is the primary award for party games.
  • All submissions for any party games must show in a screenshot the game's lobby for each of the rounds participated in, with BFMS IDs for each player clearly designated in both the dropdowns and, most importantly, the notes for the submission designating what nickname is used for which BFMS ID.

Multiplayer Video Games

  • A multiplayer video game in this context is a game that requires a medium to large time commitment that does not fall under any one of the supported games already listed in a section of this policy.
  • As games sometimes require you to "clan up" or you may get recruitment messages from other groups and wish to avoid it, you may use [4BF] in a game to signify membership within Bravo Fleet.
  • This is most commonly an ad-hoc gaming style, so no need for a Gaming Night, though you may want to use one to organize some matches; contact any member of the Gaming Staff and we can help with this.

Combat Action Ribbons

  • These types of games can net you a Combat Action Ribbon for recording joint play with two or more members of Bravo Fleet.
  • As there are many types of games out there, the following information must be recorded in these types of submissions:
    • The name of the game;
    • General genre information;
    • How many rounds were played together; and
    • How long the session was.
  • Unlike other sections for Combat Action Ribbons, this particular section is decided on a case by case basis, as there is a very wide range of games that can be awarded for.

Tabletop Games

  • These types of games are new, and cover traditionally played games played through our Discord.
  • Writing can be involved, but dice and character generation would be part of this.
