Counting Blessings
From Age of Intrigue Wiki
Similar to the way that at Tazlure completed threads are 'Skilled' when completed, we would like to do a self-rating of what personal lesson or positive thing came out of a thread for the characters within it once the thread has officially ended. This would be done by players for their characters, rather than by the mods, and is optional.
This might assist with identifying advancements and personal developments/insights in characters lives, which often come in little increments within this style of game, thus sometimes are uncelebrated as a whole.
The point of counting blessings is not to summarize a thread, but to award yourself a 'star of brilliance', or note the good things that happened to your character, so that you can see that your character is actually making progress. This is why we will leave it as a player initiative. It is for your own benefit and sense of satisfaction, and is a good way to get through a 'dark phase' or a case of writer's block.
