Clarifications:
Many of the ranges for different items were removed. Coordinators may always reward less than the given amount.
Exceeding these amounts requires RC or higher approval.
Associate Officers have been added for those who do more than assistants but not as much as a principle office holder.
List Moderators for non-TAMU lists may have prestige approved by their ANC Communications.
All List Moderation falls into Administration.
Events are divided into three categories: Camarilla Sponsored Conventions, Camarilla Attended Conventions,
and Camarilla Special Events. Each has different maximums, but all fall into the Events Category.
The Other Service category is now Exceptional Service. This includes items that do not fit into one of the other categories.
It may also include awards over the normal limits, but this must be approved by an RC of higher level officer.

1.These are the upper limits for administration positions. Generally, officers should receive about 10 prestige
less than the cap for their completed usual duties. Months that officers go above and beyond their usual duties,
they should be awarded more prestige, possibly up to the maximum. Rarely should this occur more than
3-4 times a year, and unheard of to occur nearly every month.
2.Administration, governance and publications work (and some other types of service as well) may be made
regional or national depending on the level of office, newsletter, or magazine.
3.Materials donated to the Camarilla or to a charity tend to favor those who have the resources to have such things
in the first place. It has been a long-standing tradition that "buying prestige" is unfair to other members.
Therefore, these monthly limits should never be exceeded, even in the "Other Service" category.
4.Web sites must be sanctioned by the supervising coordinator (e.g., RC for a regional web site). When the site
designer makes updates, he or she should inform the coordinator of those changes. The coordinator will
determine the prestige award for this maintenance at the end of each month.
5.Non-recurring game events are divided into three categories: Camarilla sponsored conventions, Camarilla
attended conventions, and special events. Camarilla sponsored conventions include ICC and regional events.
Camarilla attended conventions include Dragon*Con, Gen Con, and Norwescon. Members are encouraged to
volunteer at conventions whenever possible, as their support is good publicity for our organization. Special
events include your yearly Goth Ball or Garou camp-out. Non-gaming social events and your regularly scheduled
games do not count in this category. For prestige purposes, determine the event type before the event ever happens.
6.All activities associated with an event go under the event category. This includes raising money for the event,
donating office supplies, or going to a planning meeting. If a particular item is not listed (such as a meeting or
running a fund raiser) use the guidelines from other categories, but place the item in the Events category.
7.All members who attend chapter, domain, regional, or national meetings receive prestige; with the exception of
officers required to be in attendance. These meetings are part of the required activity of the staff and do not result
in earned prestige. Guest attendees who have been allowed to observe at a staff meeting are not eligible for
prestige. Similarly, guests to chapter and domain meetings (such as members from one chapter attending
another chapter's meetings) do not receive prestige. If a non-staff member is invited to attend a staff meeting for
the benefit of the staff (such as a member taking minutes for the meeting, or a guest speaker), that invited
member may earn prestige for Organizational Service.
Required Meetings:
National Meeting: NC, NST, ANC's, ANST's, RC, RST, ARC's, ARST's
A)Any business, general, or non-ST meeting falls into the top four.
B)Any non-ST officer that is not the full Coordinator is considered an Asst. Coordinator (such as Chapter Treasurer
8.Both associate and assistant officers are appointed assistants to a primary officer. The main difference is that
associate officers have an increased scope of duties and many have assistants of their own. Examples of
associate officers include (but are not limited to) GSA's, Directors (Conventions, Memberships, etc), and city
developers. Final determination over whether a position is associate or assistant shall be made by the primary
officers on the BoD, National Council, or Regional Level that are employing the associate / assistant.
9.The Regional Coordinator must approve all non-TAMU lists. The Regional Storyteller, will work in conjunction
with the Regional Coordinator in determining which list will be approved as in character list.
Non- TAMU lists are required to have as a minimum either an ARST or an ARC subscribed. Non- TAMU list should
be limited in base to chapter list, regional clan list, or be considered essential to the operation of the region.
Maximum award per month in the Administration category for non- TAMU list is 5-10G/month per list to a max
of 20/month for the sub category.
Non- TAMU list will be required to file a report with the ARC of Communications.

Fourth Prestige System: 10/1/1999 to 7/31/2001
This is not really a new prestige system, but rather a revising of some prestige awards and clarifications of others.
Clarifications:
Under Administration, Specialist Advisors (formerly SSTs) may earn 0 50 each month. Assistant Specialist Advisors
may earn 0 30 each month. List Moderators may earn 0 8 per list, but only up to 20 each month for all lists total.
Type (General, Regional, or National) is determined when the prestige is awarded.
A Category for Other Service was added. This includes items that do not fit into one of the other categories.
It may also include awards over the normal limits, but these must be approved by an RC or higher level officer.
For Camarilla Sponsored Community Service, each donation (for charity or Camarilla use) had a limit of 20 prestige
each month in addition to the overall 50 prestige each month in that category.
Sanctioned Camarilla Web Sites were officially sanctioned by the Camarilla Web Administrator
(contact camstuff@camarilla.org).
Storytelling Support was only for non-storytellers. These items were assumed to be part of normal ST duties.
They may also have applied to STs out of their jurisdiction (for instance, a CST visiting another Domain).
For Organizational Service, recruiting a new member was changed to 5 10 prestige, to encourage developing
areas to increase their membership.
Ordeals (Prestige is gained only once for each Ordeal after passing)
The Laws of the Tome 100 General
The Code of Chapters 150 General
The Lore of Thespis 150 General
The Wisdom of the Stage 50 General
1. Administration and Publications (and some other types of service as well) work may be made Regional or
National depending on the level of office or newsletter.
2. Materials donated to the Camarilla or to a charity tend to favor those who have the resources to have such
things in the first place. It has been a long standing tradition that buying prestige is unfair to other members.
Therefore, these monthly limits should never be exceeded, even as the Other Service Category.
3. Web sites are sanctioned by the Coordinator at the appropriate level (RC for a Regional Web Site, etc.).
When updates are made the site designer should inform the Coordinator of what changes were made and the
Coordinator will determine prestige for maintenance at the end of each month.
4. Storytelling Support is generally for non-storytellers. It may also be used for Storytellers outside of their
jurisdiction. But for instance a DST gets no prestige for playing an NPC at a chapter game in his own domain.
5. Members are encouraged to help out by volunteering a conventions whenever possible. This supports the
con and keeps the Camarilla on good terms with them. Members who far exceed these limits can be awarded
more prestige in the Other Service category, or under different categories (such as Storytelling Support for playing an NPC).
6. Officers get no prestige for meetings when they are there in an official capacity. It is considered part of their regular
duties to attend these meetings. For example, at Domain Meetings, the DC, DST, ADCs, and CCs will get no prestige.

This uses the same recommended amounts as the previous system (see Appendix 1). Regional prestige could
only be granted by an RC or Director. National Prestige could only be granted by a Director. Typically, Regional positions,
including Assistants, received Regional prestige. Board positions, including Assistants, received National prestige.
Other Regional or National items should be carefully considered. Proof in the form of an email or letter is very helpful.

Grunt work on Chapter or Domain newsletter 1 10 / month
Hosting a meeting (maintaining meeting space or 1 10 / month
property)
Work at a Non Camarilla event (convention, etc.) 5 / hour of volunteer time
There was a recommended 100 prestige per month maximum. This did not count prestige
from being an officer, Ordeals, or early renewal (* above). More than that will have to be
verified by whoever was RC at the time. Items that do not fall into these categories,
have to be judged on a case by case basis. Compare them to current guidelines for fairness.
Generally, 5 prestige per hour of effort is a good estimate.
Gen Grants
Gen Grants must be verified. This can be in two forms: either a signed document by someone
able to grant the Gen, or proof that the member held for over a year resulting in an
automatic Gen Grant (see chart below). If the latter, this proof should come from records
of reports while the person was in the office. The positions resulting in automatic Grants, and
what coordinators could approve Grants, are shown below.
DC Grant: 12th to 10th Gen is okay. Lower Gens (8th and 9th ) may be approved if the DCs
Gen can be verified as one Gen below the granted level.
*: 7th and 6th Gen get equivalent regional to allow them to play MC 9 and 10,
respectively. In the case of 7th Gen, they may not have the total prestige to play MC 9.
**: 5th and 4th Gen equivalents are the minimum need to play MC 12 and 14, respectively.
These amounts are taken from the new system rather than the old (Green Tome) prestige
conversions.
