JANUARY ACTIVITY CHECK
Activity check will remain open through February 7th. Only activity from January 1st through January 31st will be acceptable.
• If your character was accepted during this last month/activity cycle, you need only to check them in with their name/journal/info post, and do not have to fill out the four thread links and activity summary sections. If your character is less than a week old as of this announcement (accepted from Jan 25th onward), you do not have to reply here at all.
• If your character has an announced hiatus of a week or more in length for this month, this may be used instead of providing activity and you do not have to reply here. HOWEVER, please note that using a hiatus instead of providing full activity two months in a row will constitute a strike, which will stay in place for four months. Players who are currently on hiatus will be noted, but are encouraged to post their activity when able to avoid consequences if another hiatus has to be used next month in lieu of activity.
• All other characters must check in with all sections (or accept a strike) by or during the 7th or be removed from the game! Please remember the four required threads must also be with four different characters.
Please fill out the following form and add it in to a new comment.
Player Section (Paste once.)
Activity Section (Paste once per character.)
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 all be from the same entry and can have been originally started before the month's start. However, at least one thread provided must have been started during the actual month in question, and of course, all threads must actually have activity within the cycle duration.
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, and cannot be apped in again until their initial strike has expired. 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.

Activity Summary: Was part of the "rescue the children" group with Blaine, but trying to avoid responsibility for just about anything in general.
Thread 1: Thread with Blaine | 31/1
Thread 2: Thread with Bakura | 31/1
Thread 3: Thread with Lily/Yuri | 31/1
Thread 4: Thread with Kotetsu | 31/1
Anything else?: As you can see, all of these threads start on the 31th, and I appreciate that this is a perfectly valid reason to think I shouldn't be in the game anymore, considering I have done pretty damn pitifully at other activity checks too. If that is the case, I would like to know if there is any way I could make up for this during this month (making double activity check/other proof that I am properly active and that I've stopped squatting) or if it might be possible for me to app in again in the future. On a personal note, I would also like to apologize, because I feel like a giant tool. I understand and will respect whatever decision you decide to make on my behalf.
