OFFERING A BOON:
+boongive <character> <type> = <description>
Offer a boon to someone (you become the debtor).
Boon Types:
- trivial - Small favor, minor information
- minor - Standard favor, useful service
- major - Substantial favor, significant risk
- blood - Blood-related service (rare)
- life - Life-saving debt (most serious)
Examples:
+boongive Marcus minor = Saved me from a hunter
+boongive Elena major = She covered up my Masquerade breach
+boongive John trivial = Introduced me to the Primogen
The recipient must accept the boon for it to become official.
ACCEPTING OR DECLINING:
+boonaccept <boon #>
Accept a boon that has been offered to you.
+boondecline <boon #>
+boondecline <boon #> = <reason>
Decline a boon offer (optionally with reason).
Examples:
+boonaccept 42
+boondecline 43 = I do not wish to be owed this debt.
CALLING IN A BOON:
+booncall <boon #> = <description>
Call in a boon that is owed to you.
The description explains what favor you're requesting.
The debtor will be notified.
Examples:
+booncall 42 = I need you to vote for Marcus at the Primogen meeting.
+booncall 15 = Provide me an alibi for last night.
Note: The request should be proportional to the boon level.
Calling in a Life Boon for a trivial favor is poor form.
FULFILLING A BOON:
+boonfulfill <boon #> = <description>
Mark a called boon as fulfilled.
Used by the debtor after completing the requested favor.
Examples:
+boonfulfill 42 = Voted for Marcus as requested.
+boonfulfill 15 = Told the Sheriff you were with me all night.
BOON WORKFLOW:
1. Service Performed
Someone helps you, creating an obligation.
2. Boon Offered
You use +boongive to acknowledge the debt.
3. Boon Accepted
The creditor uses +boonaccept to formalize it.
4. Harpy Acknowledgment (optional)
For major boons, the Harpy may officially record it.
5. Boon Called
When the creditor needs a favor, they use +booncall.
6. Boon Fulfilled
After completing the favor, debtor uses +boonfulfill.
STAFF/HARPY COMMANDS:
+boonadmin/acknowledge <boon #>
Officially acknowledge a boon (Harpy function).
+boonadmin/cancel <boon #> = <reason>
Cancel a boon.
+boonadmin/list
List all public boons.
+boonadmin/refresh <character>
Refresh a character's boon ledger calculations.
BOON STATUS MEANINGS:
Pending - Offered but not yet accepted
Active - Accepted and waiting to be called
Called - Creditor has requested the favor
Fulfilled - Debt has been repaid
Cancelled - Boon was cancelled (rare)
Disputed - Parties disagree (Harpy arbitration needed)
TIPS:
- Keep descriptions clear and specific
- Harpy acknowledgment adds legitimacy to major boons
- Trading boons requires both parties to agree
- Life Boons should be offered rarely and never refused
- Use +boon/pending regularly to check obligations
