All right guys, it's time for the activity check!
The activity check is just to filter out and remind people about being generally active in the game.
❖ requirements
To pass the activity check for the month of November, the entries/threads must date between November 1 through November 30.
You must provide links to one of the following three options:
- 1 Post + 15 comments. Make a post of any type (Log/Dream/Voice/Video) with the character, and then have threads that total up to 15 comments with at least two different characters made within the specified time period. This can be done in either the main community or in the journals.
- Example: Any Post Type / Thread with character 1 / Thread with character 2
- 2 Posts + 7 comments. As stated, you can make two different posts of any type (Log/Dream/Voice/Video) and then have a thread that is 7 comments.
- Example: Any Post Type / Any Post Type / Thread
- 30 comments. A total of 30 comments made with three different characters. This is to help characters/players who thread a lot, but may not make a lot of posts.
- Example: Thread with character 1 / Thread with character 2 / Thread with character 3
ADD-ONS: If you play an Add-On character, you must provide either links for 1 post + 5 comments OR threads that total 10 comments.
Comments must be the total comments posted by your character - a thread of 15 total comments would give your character 7 or 8 comments' worth of credit. ONLY count your own characters' comments in your total. More than the required number of threads is allowed, so if you need to use, say, five thread links instead of two, that's perfectly acceptable.
If you have any questions or need any clarification about this, please feel free to ask a mod. Everyone must post below with the above requirements in order to pass the activity check.
❖ exemptions
If your character(s) fits into any of the following criteria, you do not have to post on this Activity Check and are exempt.
- Any players/characters who were accepted in the following application cycles: November 1-14. (New players are still welcome to comment just so that we can have a nice record, but it's not required.)
- Any players/characters who are currently on hiatus. Those who posted on somarium_ooc with the hiatus tag are not exempt.
- If you were on an extended hiatus that lasted for most of this month, talk to one of the mods or comment here on the AC. However, we do keep a log of all the hiatuses, so we will also keep those who were out for extensive periods in mind.
- Slowatuses are NOT exempt.
❖ do not meet requirements
If you do not meet the requirements don't panic! The check lasts for one week, and during this time you can make whatever posts and threads you need to pass. If you find that you are too busy right now with RL concerns, you can go on
hiatus.
❖ AC comment form
Comment to this post using the following template:
Player: PLAYERNAME
Character: CHARACTERNAME
POST: DATEOFPOST
THREAD: DATEOFTHREAD
THREAD: DATEOFTHREAD
**KEEP YOUR COMMENTS IN ONE THREAD!** This will make it a bit more organized.
❖ final notes
IMPORTANT: Do not make a post or go on hiatus to dodge the check. If you really don't think you'll be able to be more active, we prefer that you drop rather than prevent someone else who could be more active from applying for the character. If you really do want to try to be more active, however, that's when you would go on hiatus or make a few threads. Please do not sit on characters if you don't think you'll be able to play them.
We will make another reminder as well as provide a "Danger List" midway through the week.
AC CHECK ENDS 11:59 PM (CST) NOVEMBER 30. This means you have all through Tuesday, November 30 to meet the requirements before the AC closes.
If you have any problems, talk to either us mods (Laena and Lari). We'll be more than happy to work with any issues you may have.
YOU MUST COMMENT WITH LINKS TO THE THREADS FOR YOU TO PASS THE CHECK!
