Haha yeah I kind of apped here on a whim and that turned out to be a BAD IDEA. I just do not have the attention to devote to this game alongside the other ones I'm in at the moment. So, I'm going to go ahead and drop before I flounder around here any longer. I do hope to be back once my RP schedule opens up a little more, though it will probably be with a different character.
Thanks for having me, as short as it was! I was looking forward to playing Nue in this setting, but the stars were just not aligned.
Here's the run down on how Activity Check works.
All players must respond to activity check and check in. The only exception is if you have a hiatus during the time of the check that qualifies (this means it must be on-going through the check). If you are unable to post to the check for any reason during the allotted time but have the activity requirement contact a mod. This means if you have to take a hiatus right as AC starts or do not have internet connection.
Exemptions that are accepted are:
If you have a hiatus that lasts at least two weeks during the activity period.
If something comes up and you've discussed it with the mods. This is a case by case basis.
New characters are expected to provide half activity.
Valid forms of activity are:
1) 1 post + 15 comments (you are able to use up to 3 threads to meet this requirement, but they MUST be outside of your own entry)
2) 2 posts
3) 1 post + 1 log of at least 6 comments**
4) 2 logs with at least 10 comments in each**
5) 30 comments spread out in at least 4 different threads
**For logs we reserve the right to ask for more if the threads are only action spam and just barely make the cut. So if your threads are only five comments of one sentence we are going to request more.
This month only you only need one part of any of the above activity requirements.
We will accept mailbox threads for activity under the following circumstances:
-It gives you the last boost you need to make activity.
-You have not used it the previous month (or to any consistency that we can see).
-The thread is not in only one person's mailbox (meaning if you link us to a thread with them and a mailbox this will not be acceptable, this also counts if every other month you link to a mailbox thread with the same character).
If you do not make activity you will receive a strike. You will have the next month to make double activity and if you fail to you will be booted from the game. If you mostly make activity you will be expected to make half of the double the next month.
All activity must be active from the current month.
You have until midnight 27 of April to respond to this entry with your activity.
The good news is, I made a network journal! It's over here, and it's got all the comms followed. Much easier to follow everything at once that way! If people want to add their character journals to the list of things following so hiatus notices and the like can be easier tracked, let me know, I can add that. Any other suggestions for it are welcome, too \o\
The bad news is, speaking of hiatus notices, I'm on an indefinite slowatus due to my main laptop shitting its motherboard out into the fires of Mount Doom. I'll still be around, but my backup is a laptop bought eight years ago when it wasn't even that good then, so. Yeah, slow is happening until I can get a replacement.
I'll be squeezing in backtags where I can, but I'll be prioritizing event stuff, and I'm really sorry, people I owe tags from like. A week ago. I'll get to you, I promise! I had friends visiting and it turned into a mess of "HEY ALIEN DON'T YOU HAVE 40+ TAGS" "OH YEAH BUT WE'RE WATCHING BIRDEMIC AND PLAYING VIDEO GAMES AT THE SAME TIME MAYBE LATER" every day.
Anyone who needs me or thinks I've missed something Shep really should reply to, my plurk is aliencereal!
I will be back 100% at the end of the month!
