OCTOBER ACTIVITY CHECK

[theearth]

Activity check will remain open through November 7th. Only activity from October 1st through October 31st will be acceptable.

All characters accepted a week before this announcement (Oct 25) and who are not already on hiatus must check in by or on the 7th or be removed from the game.

Hiatuses a week or more in length may be used instead of providing activity. HOWEVER, please note that doing so two months in a row will constitute a strike, which will stay in place for four months.

For characters using hiatus and new characters accepted within the last month: it is not necessary to fill out the 'Activity Summary' section and all four threads. Simply listing the new character's name, journal, and info post is fine. Players currently on hiatus need not worry, though you are also welcome to provide links to activity upon your return to avoid potential strikes from using a hiatus two months in a row!

This does not have to be linked at all, and does not have to be as dramatic as fighting baddies or organizing groups of hitmen; simply discussing or reacting to things on the network with others, gaining Echos from plot-related rather than canon-paralleling incidents, and other such things are fine, too.] <b>Thread 1:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 1</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Thread 2:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 2</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Thread 3:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 3</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Thread 4:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 4</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Anything else?:</b>

Threads do not have to be a set length to count, but it must be evident that some work/thought was put into them. A network-based thread of many brief comments may hold the same weight as a shorter one with a higher word count per comment. Threads can be from the same entry, so long as they are with different characters. In other words, don't sweat it, though if you feel four threads is not enough, you may provide up to two more, both of which can be with a character who is the same as in one of the first four linked threads.

Strikes: If your character does not meet activity requirements for whatever reason, you may opt to take a strike for them by replying here or speaking with a mod. Characters with an existing strike who then qualify for another will be removed from the game. However, again, each strike only lasts four months before being reset. For example, a character who has a strike from August will need to have activity or a declared hiatus each month up to and including December's activity check.

Character: Hajime Aikawa

Character's Info/Current Echoes Post: Here.
Plot Relevant Actions: Hajime went to investigate the snake statues in the Dead District with Thomas and Bakura, at which point he realized his monster instincts were a problem and tried to kill Thomas. He was also present at the Halloween party that was attacked by Vermaxi.

He also had to plea with the network to bring him a new shirt because he suddenly regained a Hawaiian print one and it was awful.

Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Character Journal: italktofish
Character's Info/Current Echoes Post: Here.
Plot Relevant Actions: Arthur made a public spectacle of himself in a mall fountain after echoing back Aquaman's need to be exposed to water fairly often. This also led him to ask everyone for help in finding a bigger tub. He's also been trying to keep the numbers club's morale up in the only way he knows possible, with posting pictures of octopuses and offering his services as a bus driver for Halloween parties.

He also may or may not have traumatized Karl and Ray through showing off the regrettable tattoo on his bum.

Character Journal: talktothedoll
Character's Info/Current Echoes Post: Here.
Plot Relevant Actions: Mort accidentally made a monster with an Tier 2 Echo he regained from visiting the Towers. He then had to assemble a crack team of superheroes a group of whoever happened to hear his plea for help and chase after the darn thing. There was a monster fight, and the creature was defeated. He's also still offering his services as a psychiatrist to anyone on the network who needs his help.

Do you have any other threads for Mort?

[chalicejoker]

He was all over this log and had this entire post, although none of the individual threads in the post got too terribly long because it was a call to action for the log itself.
