I created it in order to keep better track of all my Necros, particularly in regards to all the things that could earn council points. The Necrokeeper 5000 is integrated with and can be used as an [i]alternative[/i] to the standard Council Point Calculator, meaning that your dragons and community engagement are automatically tallied based upon the data you input.

[*] The Necromancer-specific Council Points tallier keeps track of whether or not a dragon has been registered, added to the elite registry, has a Necro-appropriate familiar and clothes etc. [/list] [b]The Community Participation Tab[/b] [list][*] A sheet specifically to help you keep track of your community engagement (and thus the Council points you earn) with the Necromancer Subspecies [*] To add to your tallies, simply add any relevant links, explanations, dragon ID numbers, tally marks etc. to a new row in each column[/list] [b]The Necro Statistics Tab[/b] [list][*] This tab has multiple charts to help visualize various statistics such as: [list][*] Subspecies/Divergence Stats [*] Variant Stats [*] Breed Stats [*] Element Stats [*] F vs M pose stats [/list][/list] [b]CPC Integration[/b] [list][*] The Necro Database tab has been integrated with the Necromancer Tally tab of the CPC, so all Necromancer-specific points are tallied automatically and added to your CPC total [*] The Community Participation tab has been integrated with the Thread and Contest Participation & Community Service tabs of the CPC, so every post/image link/dragon id/etc. related to community engagement can be recorded [*] The Necro Database tab is semi-integrated with the Council Dragon & Point Spending tab in that any dragon you indicate as a Council Member in the Database will then be added as an option to the list of council member dropdowns [*] The Necrokeeper 5000 can be linked to the Council Master Sheet just like the CPC!

@The Necrokeeper 5000

I'm six years late with Tim Hortons and keep forgetting to use this pinglist, but: the Necrokeeper 5000 should now be up to date & include all current variants, divergences, and offshoots of the Necromancer subspecies. If you notice I'm missing something, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Thanks for keeping up this labor of love! My goal is to get out Art and Lore thread before the next ancient release and get your calculator linked properly. I honestly think about this constantly -_-

@3idolon I've actually been updating it throughout the past year, I just kept forgetting to mention it here.

If you need any help with anything, let me know!

Lol would you like to run the Art and Lore thread? [emoji=mirror tongue size=1] /j But thank you! I'll def let you know <3
