Occupations
Occupations (Classes) are available now in the Theme Park. There are 7 Mechwarrior Occupations to choose from that will affect your game play rankings. In order to participate you MUST add (Pil) for Pilot, (Mec) for Mechanic, (Str) for Strategist, (Pol) for Politician, (Kni) for Knight, (Cen) for Centurion, (Cha) for Chaotic, (BA) for BASpecialist etc. to your regular pilot name IN THAT EXACT FORMAT- anywhere really as long as they are part of your pilot name. e.g. (Pol) Coolant or Coolant (Pol) or (Sen) Coolant (Pol). Most Occupations have an inherent ability and nothing needs to be done by the player to receive the benefit. Most Occupations also have a Special Ability that requires the player to type the command. The inherent and Special Abilities are explained below. You MUST have those 3-letter abbreviations in your pilot name in order to receive either the inherent or Special Ability - I need to be able to see them in the Log in order for you to receive credit. You can switch out Occupations, but you will need to change your name (leave server, change name, re-enter server with new name). It would make it a lot easier on me to only have 1 Occupation per day since I check the logs once per day.
Leveling up your Occupation
You can now level up your Occupation. Here's how it works:
If your Occupation is used whether inherent or special ability you need to type -level. This will flag me in the log that you have used your Occupation in some way. Couple of examples: if I am a Pilot (Pil) and I roll -d20 and the result is 7 I have used the inherent ability that a Pilot (Pil) possesses by scoring a Critical and I would type -level. If I use -pilot and score 3x in a game the next ranking message then I have successfully used the special ability of a pilot and I would type -level. If I was a Knight (kni) and I got the Streak Kill message then I would type -level. NOTE: You MUST type -level to get credit for using your Occupation. Please do not type it if you did not use your Occupation successfully.
-level
prints '"****%1 +1 SUB-LEVEL****"'
As I go through the log, if I see 5 of these per pilot in the log (usually 1 day) then that player Ranks Up their Occupation 1 full level. So, using an example from above, if I use -pilot or -d20 successfully using the inherent ability of a pilot (roll a 7-14, not the 15-20 that normal players get) 5 times that day, I would now be a Level 2 Pilot and so on.
***Rewards***
I multiply your level by the total amount of points you have earned using your Occupation and that is a ONE-TIME bonus per day added to your total Rank Points. I figure in the Bonus BEFORE the day's leveling so your bonus is multiplied by the previous day's LVL. For partial levels (like 3.4 for example) I round up or down. For example, if you are a Strategist (Str) and earn 500 Rank Points from your Occupation (destroying/transferring Marked Player Rank Points) in one day and you are Lvl 2, you would earn 1000 Rank Points bonus for that day. If that Strategist was ranked Lvl 2.4 it would still round to 2, but it the level was 2.6 it would round to 3. If I was a Mechanic (Mec) and earned 50 Rank Points from killing a Set bot or Wraith, and I was Lvl 3, I would get a 1-day bonus of 150. Certain Occupations will have an easier time leveling then others, but we'll see how this works first (starting to think I should get a beta team together for balancing). Note: Going forward, Mechanics (Mec) are still limited to 5 bots per game or 50 points for Set bots and 100 points for Wraith per game in regards to leveling. So, even if a Mechanic kills a Set Bot 6 or more times during a game and types -level, they will only get credit for 5 Sub-levels that game.

- Mechanic (Mec)- The bot Wraith for a Mechanic is worth 50 pts per kill rather than just 10 for an ordinary pilot or another occupation. To choose Mechanic as your Occupation place (Mec) somewhere in your name.
Special - by typing -mechanic a Set of Wraith Bot Points is transferred chronologically to the Mechanic multiplied by 10, usuable 5 times per day.
- Strategist (Str)- A Marked player is worth triple (3x) to a Strategist rather than the norm. To choose Strategist as your Occupation place (Str) somewhere in your name.
Special - by typing -strategist Marked Player Points are transferred to the Strategist chronologically. This may be used up to 5 times per day.
- Politician (Pol)- Politicians can lose up to 3 of their 10 bets per day and not be penalized for losing them (10 is max placed bets for all players). To choose Politician as your Occupation place (Pol) somewhere in your name.

- Knight (Kni)- Knights do not earn rank points from destroying the Wraith bot, betting, or Marked, and have no Special Ability, but they do earn the Ranking +10 Message. However, the main way they can score Rank Points is by getting Streak Kills earning 1000 Rank Points for each Streak Kill message.
- Centurion - Centurions cannot be Marked.
Special - by typing -centurion for a limited time and with a chance of failure, a Centurion can halt all Rank Points from being awarded to all players. This includes Ranking Messages, Wraith bot, Marked, and Bets, usuable 5 times per day. If sucessful, the Centurion earns 100 Rank Points. Centurions may also get a leadership bonus of 100 Rank Points which can then be multiplied by the Level of the Centurion, if they get the message from typing -centurion.
- Chaotic (Cha)- Beware of destroying a Chaotic! When a Chaotic is destroyed negative (mostly) or positive things can happen (various random chat messages with penalties or bonuses, but greater chance for negative chat messages). Chaotics have no inherent ability. They must use their 2 Special abilities. These Special Abilities can only be used 5 times per day each (feel free to type -chaotic or -vendetta as often as you want, but only the first 5 per day count).
Special #1 - by typing -chaotic IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY ARE DESTROYED, a random negative (mainly) or positive effect will be posted in chat. The message applies to any "Sets" of points the player that destroyed the Chaotic has earned for that day. For instance, if, upon typing -chaotic, the message "No Marked Points earned" message pops up, then the player that destroyed the Chaotic will have 1 "Set" of Marked points earned (if any) erased for that day. Essentially it cancels out the associated Set(s) of points. Usable up to 5 times per day.
Special #2 - by typing -vendetta IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY ARE DESTROYED, a Chaotic can hunt down their destroyer for 500 Rank Points. If the hunted player is killed first by another player or bot the HUNT is cancelled. -vendetta can only be used 5 times per day.

Special - by typing -baspecial the BASpecialists can be piloting any mech and still receive the BA Bonus if the message comes up. Must be typed immediately after getting the tonnage (BA) bonus message and usuable 3 times per day.
