Activity
★ Activity
Because activity is what makes an RP go 'round. We're very lax with activity, but there are a few important points to cover about activity checks, taking a hiatus, and dropping.
★ Activity Checks
About every two months, we make a post (generally in rainbow colours) announcing an activity check. If you want to keep a character, you tag in with the name and journal of the character. That's it! Just the name and journal of the characters you want to keep. A week from then, we will list the journals not included in the activity check. Players will have a week to respond to that post if they still want to keep those characters in the game. Journals which have not responded or commented to the hiatus post will be removed from the game at the end of that week, but they are free to reapply at any time.
★ Hiatus
Need to take a hiatus? We totally understand. Just let us know for about how long you expect to be gone and what characters it will be affecting.
While you are on hiatus, you can decide what is happening with your characters. If you have characters sharing a universe with yours, you may want to work out that they're busy and haven't had time to get involved in things. You may decide to have their presence implied after working out what exactly they would be up to with other players. Another option is enabled because of the inconsistent time differences between the Plane and realities: it is possible that a character will spend only a day at home while weeks pass on the Plane. They might not have the chance to notice they are missing anything.
To go on hiatus, please comment to this post by filling out the following form:

★ Drops
Characters that are dropped will be considered lost. If someone happens to ask one of the hosts about them, the host may say that the character 'changed their point of view.' From the inconsistent nature of the Plane, it can take quite a bit of time for characters to realize that their friends have gone.
If a character is picked up again, the character is generally played from a clean slate despite the previous stay. However, if the same player picks up the character again, they may choose to have the character remember in flashes. They may also choose to have the character keep all of their memories of the Plane, with the character not realising that they 'left' at all. Just as with hiatuses, it is possible for a character would go to bed one day and wake up to find that twelve hours for them was twelve months for the rest of the characters.
Areas of mergers from dropped characters will remain, but as the connection between characters fades, the merger may fade away too. Be sure to comment to the merger post to say when a connection has faded and a merger vanished.
If you wish to drop a character, please fill out this form and comment with it here so we know. Once that's done, please have that journal leave the communities to make everything neat.
