Recognized achievement may arise from service; governance; restoration; economic development; military or security achievement; diplomacy; scholarship and education; exploration; construction and infrastructure; culture; community participation; and other published objectives.

Article VII — Adjudication
1. Material Great Game outcomes shall be auditable. 2. Rules shall provide appropriate standards for evidence, adjudication, conflicts of interest, review, and finality. 3. In-character defeat shall not automatically constitute out-of-character punishment. 4. Platform or community misconduct shall be governed through the proper policy or disciplinary authority rather than disguised as arbitrary in-character punishment.
