Earning GMP

General Merit Points (GMP) are the system of currency that is used on RunnerHub. GMP can be earned for various forms of participation on RunnerHub.

One point of GMP can be exchanged for:

1 Karma
3000 ¥

You are free to choose whether you would like to receive either karma or nuyen for each point that is awarded to a character. GMP may only be redeemed on characters with at least one run under their belt. GMP does not count toward career karma for the purpose of gaining street cred.

When earned, GMP may be banked for use at a later date. If you choose to bank your GMP, you must leave a note stating that you are putting your GMP in the bank as soon as you receive the GMP, and you must then link back to where the GMP was earned whenever you choose to redeem the GMP. It is solely your responsibility to keep track of how much GMP you have, and undocumented GMP cannot be reclaimed at a later date.

An acceptable method of tracking your GMP is via a spreadsheet with clear delineation where the GMP was awarded from.

The Executive Board and Division Heads have the sole responsibility of awarding GMP to individuals. This is typically done via private message or public posting.
