ACTIVITY CHECK
Wow, it's been a while since we've done one of these, hasn't it? Since we're in the middle of our first invite-only round, it's time to make sure all our lists are up to date! Which means:
ACTIVITY CHECK
As always, we'd like to make sure the Cast and Contact pages are completely up to date. Please check those pages and make sure that everything is right with you/your characters. If you see someone we've missed - either they're here and we don't have them, or we have them and they've left - please let us know, too.
***
As with last time, we do feel that it's necessary to show that a player has been somewhat active in the game. So we're asking that people just post one thread they've done in the past month - from the beginning of February until now - with any one of their characters. If you haven't, then there's still seven days until the end of the AC, so get a-posting! This is just one thread per player, for ANY of your characters, from either a channel posting or an action log.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Post here with a statement with your user-handle, and character name/canon/journal, and a link to one thread you've done with any one of your characters since the beginning of February. This is the stuff we need.

Player Journal:
AIM:

My activity thread
Bolded is required. The other stuff can be left empty, but it's what's going on the contact list, so if you want it there, put it there! Or, if your current entry is up to date, just note that.
2. Newbies are exempt. If you're a new player that has either had a character podpopped this month or a new player that just got accepted this month, you don't have to post your activity. However, while this has no bearing on your actual game status, given that we're using it to update the cast roster/contact list, we would like you to post with the other stuff, instead. It's been a long time since the last podpop, so we don't have any newbies!
3. Hiatuses. Don't bother doing the check if you've already announced a hiatus, slowatus, or the like--we'll check the hiatus post for people who said they wouldn't be around. We'll try and check the OOC comm too, but you miiiiight end up getting a poke email because it's easier to miss things that are just on the comm.
4. Lack of Response. Whoever doesn't post will get an email after the end of the check, when we've tallied everything up. They will have a week to respond to the email, and if they don't, they'll get another email informing them they've been booted. If they respond, they have to hit up the next activity check (barring a hiatus announcement or the like), or they'll automatically be booted with no email.
5. Das Boot. If you get booted and didn't get a chance to put up a hiatus message, and it was just a slip of the memory, you lost your internet, some kinda LIFE thing happened, it's okay. Just let us know. Stuff happens, and this is just to weed out the people who've lost interest and wandered off without saying, not to punish people who've had bad luck or busyness or absent-mindedness or whatever. We'll put you back in if something like that has happened, even if it's even an accidental "Crud, I just forgot what week it was!" It's really nothing personal, it's not irreversible, it's just an administration thing.
6. Honesty. Please take a look at your characters and the activity of each. If you have inactive characters, and you've been busy, lacking inspiration, feeling blah, but intend to get active with them again, awesomesauce. Now might be a good time to hunt down someone to play with, contact the mods for a part in upcoming plots, or post the OOC asking folks for CR ideas. But please be honest with yourself whether or not you'll be active with the character again. We care more about players just hanging around, than specific characters being active, so we're leaving it up to the players to judge whether or not they've still got it in 'em to get active with a character--we'll only step in if it seems like someone is character squatting for a significant amount of time.
7. When the check ends. One week from tomorrow! That should give everyone time to hit this.
03/14 - 11:59 PM EST
This means, we send the Poke email on 03/15, and people have to answer it by 03/22.

Go post, our meatlings!
