This is for both mods and players to be able to keep track of who is on hiatus. This will stop mods from signing up people who are on hiatus for therapy/M-U/SC/etc. or mistaking someone for being inactive when they are simply away for a while.
The longest amount of time any player can take a hiatus for is three months. If something requires you to be gone for longer than that, you may have to drop your characters until you are able to play again and then reapply. There are certain exceptions, of course, so if you are in a situation where you would have to be gone for such a long period of time, please contact one of the mods to discuss the circumstances.
How it works: If you are going on hiatus, please comment here with your name, the characters you play, and how long you are going to be gone for/when you will be back. If you are only putting some of your characters on hiatus (for example, if your situation is that you're a little busy and don't have time to play with all of them), only list the characters you won't be actively using. Please also annouce your hiatus in
damned_lounge, since not all players will be checking this list all the time.
Once the mods see your comment, they will edit this post with your information and then delete the comment (much like the way it works with the Contact List and Requested Characters List). When you return, we would appreciate it if you commented here to let us know, but we'll probably just see the announcement that you're back in
damned_lounge and then remove your name from the list.
