Songs allow you to amplify or soften a story or a sighting in a Realm. The effect of the song depends on your shareholding in that Realm—the larger your shareholding, the greater the impact.
All users of GoE receive 5 songs upon registration. Shareholders of a Realm receive an additional 25 songs multiplied by the level of that Realm.
If a Realm you are a shareholder in gains levels, you and every other shareholder will receive 25 songs per level. You can also earn songs when another user amplifies your story or your sighting. The number of songs you receive depends on how much the story is amplified and the Realm shareholding of the person who amplifies it. If the person is a larger shareholder, you will receive more songs.
Your nature songs are special! Here's how they work:
Origin Matters: Nature songs operate just like “tokens,” but each song is unique and remembers where it came from.
Using Songs: You can use your songs to amplify or soften any story, with one exception.
The Exception: You can't use songs to amplify or soften a story by the same person who gave you those songs, or by anyone who received those songs previously.
Why?: This encourages “spreading of wealth,” and prevents the possibility of gaming the system through collusive behaviour.
Your Song Count: You might see two numbers:
“Total Songs” - All the songs you have.
“Songs available for this story” - Songs you can use for a specific story.
Don't Worry: If you can't use some songs now, you can always use them for other stories!
Remember, the songs which are awarded to you automatically (like when your Realm levels up) can be used anywhere. Enjoy amplifying the stories you love!
Yes, they do. Amplified stories raise the BioScore more than stories that haven’t been amplified. Additionally, stories amplified by many people contribute more to the BioScore than those amplified by just one person, even if the overall amplification is the same
The songs you receive when logging into the GoE site will be multiplied by your XP level.
