If you're not aware of the financial meltdown and economic overhaul that took place on stardate 23.111/54, here's your chance to get caught up.
Now that we're all on the same space page, let's have some fun with numbers...
- Every character will determine their MeowMeowBeenz rating by rolling 1d4. If you roll a "4" result, roll the die again. If you get another "4," then congratulations! You're actually a 5 (it's really difficult to reach 5 status).
- However, if you'd rather roleplay the initial interactions that will lead to your eventual rating, that's fine, too.
- Ratings are also color-coordinated and individuals are encouraged to wear the same color as their current MeowMeowBeenz rating (though it is not mandatory... yet). There are as many outfit color options as the rating represented: 1's are gray, 2's are yellow and pink, 3's are orange, red, and purple, 4's are green, egg-shell blue, cream, and silver, 5's are dark blue, black, white, lavender, and gold.
- Not only is paying for sex more costly, a lot of potential partners (i.e. women) won't have sex with a dude of a lesser rating than themselves. There's a 2 in 6 chance that a female will overlook a hypothetical mate's MeowMeowBeenz number when it comes to sex.
- The opposite is also true. Women will attach themselves to a sexual partner who has a higher rating than themselves. There's only a 2 in 6 chance that a female will refuse the advances of someone with a better MeowMeowBeenz rating than their own.
