posting awards and xp updates

Here are the awards for posting and for gameplay. Since we’ve moved well beyond the introductory phase of the game, there’s been less posting, so the posting awards are smaller. On the other hand, the awards for successful use of skills in game are larger.

Current as of 31 December 2009.

“April 29, 1924” +1 persuade for learning a little something about saying the right thing.
“April 29, 1924: evening” +1 sanity for actually being able to put the little silver vial “out of her mind”.

Henri:
“April 25” +1 sanity and +1 natural history for successful bunny rearing so far.
“April 29” +1 sanity, because dressing well calms him.
“Evening, 29 April” +1 psychology for processing effectively, even if not entirely sincerely.
“Evening, 30 April” +1 occult: that’s some heavy reading.

Peter:
“letter: undated, unsigned” +1 anthropology for, well, leveling a sound argument from the field of religious studies against the babbling of a madman.

I'm working on figuring out how to post current character sheets to the webpage, but until then anyone who would like to take a look at the totals I have for characters' skills should just ask me.
