Awarding prestige
Prestige is divided into three types: general prestige (also called “open”), regional prestige and national prestige. Only the coordinator chain can award prestige, though they may base their decisions on recommendations by the storytelling chain.

National prestige may be recommended by the members of the Camarilla Council and/or those assistants who are granted the authority by these people to award national prestige. It is awarded by the club director or the national coordinator for serving in a global or national level position, participating in a national charity drive, moderating national lists, or otherwise doing work from the following charts that impacts the organization on a national or global level.

Regional prestige may be awarded by a regional coordinator, as well as by anyone able to grant national prestige. It is awarded for serving in a regional position, helping with a regional event or regional charity drive, moderating a regional list, or otherwise doing work from the following charts that impacts the organization on a regional level.

General prestige may be awarded by a domain coordinator, chapter coordinator or by anyone authorized to award regional or national prestige. It may be awarded for anything from the following charts, and is most commonly awarded for work or contributions that affect the organization on a local level.

Prestige Awards
The tables that follow cover almost everything for which coordinators award prestige. If something is not listed, there is also an “Exceptional Service” category at the end. It is important that coordinators award prestige consistently to ensure fairness to all members.

It is important to take the caps for each category into account, as awards in excess of these caps will be removed during the review process. If a member deserves more prestige points for their efforts above and beyond what is ordinary, they may be awarded points in the “Exceptional Service” category. These caps encourage members to participate in a variety of different activities instead of focusing upon one area of the club to the exclusion of all else.

Several individual line items also have specific caps for the same reason. These line item caps apply to the awards given in any particular month (or event, in the case of the “Event Services” category). Thus, while a member cannot receive more than 30 prestige points for donations to a specific charitable cause during a given month, she may receive that award for the same cause during different months.

ADMINISTRATION (max of 80/month)
Only rarely should an officer be awarded the maximum allowable award for that position. Failure to perform duties such as reporting, responding to e-mail, etc. should result in a lower award. Awards for assistants should take into account the amount of work required for that position relative to other officers. Generally, however, an assistant should receive approximately half the prestige of their immediate supervisor, based on the workload they handle in that month.

National or Global level principle officer 0-50 per month

COMMUNICATION and Web Design (Max of 50/month)
As with officers, list moderators and IRC operators should receive awards in keeping with the amount of work performed relative to other list moderators and IRC ops. Only the lists with the highest volume should receive the maximum allowable award, while most should receive about half the maximum award. Prestige awards for web design are very subjective and amounts should be decided with care. Important to note is the complexity of the site, both in number of pages, quantity of information, and technical or dynamic elements of the page. Only extensive, highly complex, dynamic websites should receive the maximum allowable award.

Examples and Ideas
Example 1: A member wants to support Habitat for Humanity (a non-profit charitable group). The member works with his or her chapter coordinator and Habitat for Humanity to lead the chapter in an event to help build a home for a local family. Habitat for Humanity organizes the overall project, but the chapter participates on behalf of the Camarilla and Habitat for Humanity is aware of it. The member should receive between 0 and 20 General prestige, depending on the amount of effort involved for organizing the charity drive, and each participant should receive five General prestige per hour of time they spend helping out (to a maximum of 30 prestige each).

Example 2: A member makes a monetary donation to Habitat for Humanity while wearing a Camarilla T-shirt, but not as part of an organized Camarilla presence involve. This is not a prestige-earning activity.

Example 3: A member goes with a friend to a church sponsored event to sandbag for a flood watch. The member mentions that he is a member of the Camarilla, but the event was not planned in conjunction with a coordinator and was not announced to other Camarilla members to organize a significant Camarilla presence. This is not a prestige-earning activity.

Example 4: As in Example 3, but the member calls several Camarilla members and sends an e-mail to the local domain mailing list asking for help. He ensures that the organizers know of the Camarilla’s effort, but there is no coordinator involved due to the urgency of the situation. Each participant should receive 5 general prestige for each hour contributed, including time spent sandbagging or calling other members to assist.

Example 5: At a regional event, a member offers to help and is asked to help with cleaning up after the event. It takes one hour. The member should earn 5 prestige for their effort. At the discretion of the regional coordinator, some or all of this prestige may be regional.

A Note on Member Class
While member class is earned through accumulating prestige points, it represents much more than that. It is a symbol of dedication and service to the club and its values. When accepting a new member class, you are agreeing to serve as an example of this service and dedication to the other members of the club. The higher one’s member class, the more one is expected to act as a leader, maintain a positive attitude, and set a higher standard of ethics and responsibility.

With this in mind, member class is not guaranteed to all who earn the requisite number of prestige points, and can be removed if a member abuses the privileges of their member class or consistently creates conflict within the club (outside the confines of the Camarilla global chronicle). Member class is most definitely a privilege, not a right.

Education
The Camarilla Education Department provides resources for member education in the responsibilities of membership, the coordinator and storyteller offices, and other topics relating to the Camarilla as a society or to the Camarilla global chronicle. The Camarilla Education website can be found at http://camarilla.white-wolf.com/education/. Members are encouraged to be well informed, and to provide an incentive; prestige is awarded for completing exams that test a member’s knowledge. Additional resources may also be available, and members should check the Education website for more information and current news from the Education Department.

Courses of Study
These courses are available to all members of the Camarilla. They are intended to enhance a member’s understanding and involvement in our organization and gaming structure. Study materials for each course are available online. You can purchase the final exam for each course from the Mind’s Eye Theatre section of the White Wolf Online Catalog. The website allows for payment by credit card, check, or money order. There is a $4 fee for each exam.

The Camarilla Education website has a list of exams, study guides, and reference materials for each test, and a link to White Wolf’s online catalog so that tests may be purchased online. This website is the main source for news and information on our courses and education in the Camarilla, and can be found at the address listed in the introduction to this section.

The Camarilla Education Department plans to offer the following courses, and may add further courses in the future:

Test of Membership
This course is the foundation of the entire education curriculum, and is designed to introduce new members to the Camarilla. However, even long-term members can learn more about the Camarilla’s current structure, procedures, and constitution. The course also highlights membership privileges and responsibilities. The Camarilla strongly encourages all members to take this course within their first sixty days of membership.

Members must successfully complete this test before taking any others within the Education Department’s curriculum.

Test of the Performer
This course is designed for players who want to learn more about the Camarilla’s global sanctioned chronicle, and it is especially recommended for new players. It covers the skills and knowledge players need to understand how our shared chronicle works, including the following topics:

Venues and genres
Principles and rules for character design
How to research and write character backgrounds within the global sanctioned chronicle
Establishing character tie-ins
The special request process
Character creation rules and special approval levels for at least one genre

Members who successfully complete the test receive additional benefits when creating characters in the global sanctioned chronicle, and the national storyteller defines these privileges.

Test of Leadership
This course presents the knowledge and skills necessary for officers to be effective leaders within the Camarilla. The course examines issues experienced by principal elected coordinators and storytellers. Members are welcome to take the course even if they do not currently hold a leadership position. The course includes the following topics:

Acting as a direct or supervising officer
Serving the needs of current members and recruiting new members
Hiring and managing assistants

Officer ethics
Supervising elections
Conducting investigations
Officers elected after February 1, 2004 must complete this course no later than ninety days after their election, or they may be subject to removal from office. Members currently serving as elected principal officers on that date will have until May 1, 2004 to complete this requirement.

Test of the Coordinator
This course explores the roles and responsibilities of coordinators within the Camarilla. Members who would like to serve as either an elected principal coordinator or assistant coordinator can prepare themselves by learning about the following coordinator issues:

Authority and responsibility of coordinators at each level
How to file coordinator reports
Awarding prestige
Conflict and resolution process
Disciplinary action (coordinator version)
Managing finances

Test of the Narrator
The global sanctioned chronicle requires members who can help storytellers run scenes, portray NPCs, and assist players resolve challenges. Therefore, this course talks about the role of the narrator. Members who successfully complete the course will demonstrate a basic understanding of the following topics:

Mind’s Eye Theatre rules
Venues and genres in the global sanctioned game
NPC portrayal
Scene narration techniques
Authority and duties of narrators
The Camarilla recommends that any member wishing to serve as a narrator within the global sanctioned chronicle complete this course.

Test of the Storyteller
White Wolf’s tabletop and Mind’s Eye Theatre books can teach a member how to storytell, but there’s a big difference between being the one storyteller for small group of friends and being one member of a storytelling team that manages a global LARP running non-stop across the entire world. In this course, experienced storytellers share the strategies and techniques that have been developed over the past decade to storytell the most complex chronicle ever. Topics in this course include:

Building and managing a venue in the global sanctioned chronicle
Designing and running plotkits and NPCs
Storytelling theory including continuity and story balance
Authority and responsibility of storytellers at each level
Reviewing a special character request
Tracking characters
How to file a storyteller report
Disciplinary action (storyteller version)
Resources available to storytellers
Storytellers elected after February 1, 2004 must complete this course no later than ninety days after their election, or they may be subject to removal from office. Members currently serving as elected principal storytellers on that date will have until May 1, 2004 to complete this requirement.

Continuing your Education
After two years service as an officer (either coordinator or storyteller), members are invited to take a continuing coordinator or continuing storyteller’s course. These master courses present ideas and insights gathered from other experienced Camarilla officers. The tests have a short practical section and several themed essay questions where you can share your own experiences as an officer. This master course format allows you to update your knowledge of your specialty while also helping us improve and expand the education curriculum. If you demonstrate insight and creativity in your responses, you may be recognized for your accomplishments and invited to conduct seminars where you can share your expertise with your peers.

Rewards
General prestige is awarded for the successful completion of each test within the education curriculum.

Test of Membership 100 points

Test of Leadership 100 points

Members who complete the Test of the Performer may also receive benefits determined by the national storyteller.

Repeat Policy
If a member does not pass an exam on the first attempt, the member receives one free opportunity to retake the test. This policy allows the member to retest at no additional cost, but the opportunity expires three months after the test results are returned. If the revised test is not submitted within three months, the opportunity expires, and the member must pay to redo the exam at a later date.

Plagiarism and Fraud
Exams are intended to be a test a member’s knowledge-not the knowledge of a group of friends or an entire domain. Those who score the exams should be reasonably sure that the work submitted belongs to the member taking the test. Copying another member’s answers in whole or in part is dishonest and will be considered cheating.

Plagiarism and fraud do a disservice to the membership by devaluing the accomplishment of completing the tests and preventing the Camarilla from evaluating the knowledge of our membership. Cheating on the exams is not acceptable, and evidence of cheating will be investigated with due diligence.

Any member who is caught cheating on the exams will be subject to severe penalties, which will include at a minimum

Loss of prestige equal to that normally granted by the test.
Loss of the free opportunity to retake the test.
One week of suspension.
Possible extended suspension or other administrative punishments.

A member who believes that their exam was copied without their permission should report this to the ordeals graders as soon as possible.
