From what I'm gathering, this particular revision addresses the residual effects of the previous SP reward revamp, which allowed for up to 1 SP per page instead of 1 SP per thread. It's just reigning back what was essentially an oversight which hadn't been accounted for at the time- essentially the silliness that occurs when large amounts of people are all participating in one thread. 

In the vast majority of RP instances, there should essentially be no change from how things were before this revision.

The whole system is being revamped at the moment, and I'm sure there'll be some changes to make fighting mobs a bit more rewarding.

Essentially, one of the current aims of the staff (to the best of my knowledge) is to close off any exploits and residual silliness left over from previous staff members.

Before this rule, posting once per page of the F4 Dance event would give you an astonishing 1 SP per post that you did- exactly 20 times higher than what you'd get from a Solo Party thread (or, for comparison's sake, 10 times higher than a two-party thread, about 6.5 times higher than a three-party thread, etc.). 

Under the new rules, you would have to post 3 times per page for the full reward for the Dance, rather than just once. That amounts to 33 posts required to get all 11 SP, rather than the previously required 11. That still amounts to getting 1 SP per every 3 posts that you've made, which is still a much higher ratio than you're able to find just about anywhere else.

If you managed to get in 11 posts under the new rules, you'd receive 3 SP (rounding) down or 4 SP if you made just one extra post. That would still amount to a roughly 4:1 posts to SP ratio. Personally, I find that to be very reasonable for that amount of participation.

You're a good kid, Tak. The best kid.

i'm gonna write a takao post someday. just watch.

@Seul Bro, none of us are making it past 150.

Your mother would be very proud.

thanks dad

*Sheds a single tear*

That's always a possibility too! Takes a bunch of post reading though if you wanna stay at least a little faithful.

We know it in our hearts and our souls.

Don't lose your muse, kid.

Oh, I know they're definitely out there. But they tend to be the same people I'd like to avoid disappointing by not being able to follow-up during muse droughts.

@Alice I wish I had the dedication for that, haha. It's also a bit of a gamble, since you never know who might drop off the face of the planet on any given day (i.e., me).

You're a great writer, Tak! One of the strongest on the site, in my opinion.

The ideal situation is to have somebody who's basically able to notice every cue that you've dropped and either follow it, or play with it in some way, but I think that's a reasonably unrealistic expectation to have. So I'm basically gonna do my own thing for a little and see if anything promising turns up.

Yeah, I love the idea of RP-ing, but most of the fun moments for me happened very sparingly in between lots and lots of filler. You can get that sort of linearity if you and the other writers plan everything out, but that kinda takes away from the appeal for me.

KotB are pretty dank.
