What Your Bank Thread Should Look Like

[Honors Bastion]

All bank threads should have the following things in them:

• Your income and a list of your income sources
• Your research points and your research point sources
• A list of Technologies that you have researched (You only need to put the highest level tech of that group)

If a Moderator ever has reason to doubt or question your bank balance, you may be asked to justify where the figures come from. Keeping a good record is essential, because badly kept vault information may result in penalties and, in the worst case scenario, having your money reset to zero if Moderators cannot be satisfied that your numbers are right.

Don't make the job of the Moderators harder than it is: keep your bank thread clean and easy to understand. If your thread is an illegible mess and you end up punished for it, we did try to warn you.

We have two vault thread examples for you below. One is bad and can lead to a vault treset, th eother is good and fits our minimum requirements.

And just a hint, just copy and paste your vault post (including the formatting) to a new document, word, google doc, or notepad all work fine, so that you can save some time each week.

=================== HB's Note =========================

The following format is the one that I, HB, use for my own vault. It is beyond what is required or expected for a player to do his or her vault but it does a nice job in providing an explanation for every figure and makes it difficult for a mod to question your numbers or where did you get them from (unless you make a mistake in your calculation of course). Feel free to use it for your own vault (remove the dash in the middle of content and box).
