Rewards!
A custom location designed in part by you, limited to 6 rooms including a private pool, custom seating as you like. Should your character die, your next character will somehow be granted the use of the same location in an IC manner. You can choose to sublet the place at your choosing. Permanent Pads are now available in every sector of the city (and the badlands) as long as you're willing to get highly creative with the structure and location.
Unique and permanent pads will be dealt with in an IC manner. You'll come into the location ICly, there might be a backstory to the place, a previous owner may one day show up on your doorstep! If due to an IC situation, your character does not feel safe at home or is separated from their home, you can expect to be icly returned or otherwise compensated at some point. For instance, if gangers take over your perm red pad because you led them all back there and they icly have a hate on for you: we'd likely move you somewhere else. The point is, we'll keep things IC, but we'll also square things OOCly with you. Make sense?
Please note that as of Jan 21st, 2014, new sponsorship rewards will be issued no sooner than 30 days after joining the game. You need a certain level of familiarity with the game before you join us in making the decisions these rewards come with. If you are unable to have a good time without rewards, you're not going to have a good time when we ICly affect them for a storyline.
