ACTIVITY CHECK

[theearth]

Activity check will remain open until May 6th. Only activity from April 1st onwards will be acceptable. (i know, duh)

Note: Although it is impossible for any character to fail by insufficient activity this round, all players not on hiatus must reply by May 6th or be removed from the game. It is not necessary to fill out the below form. A note simply saying the player name and the character(s) played is acceptable. This would be the ordinary procedure for any character not in the game for less than a month and obviously that is all the characters this time. However, the more full responses we receive the better. The results will be used to gauge player comfort with the proposed requirements. If you do fill out the form, please do so as if your place in the game depended on it, to get more accurate results.


Please fill out the following form and add it in to this post.
Player Section
Paste once.
<b><u>OOC Information:</u></b> <b>Name:</b> Whatever handle you go by. <b>Contact:</b> Should we feel the need to contact you privately, what is your preferred method?
Activity Section
Paste once per character.
<b>Character:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <b>Plot Relevant Action:</b> At least one action a character took that was related to the game's overarching plot. A good rule of thumb is that any event which grants an Echo that was not from canon parallels would count, although other actions (for example investigation, training for combat, organising groups) may also be accepted. If unsure, give several examples. <b>Thread 1:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 1</a> <b>Thread 2:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 2</a> <b>Thread 3:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 3</a> <b>Thread 4:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 4</a>
Feedback
Optional.

How did you find meeting these requirements?: Pretty easy.
Would you prefer more clearly defined requirements, or do you like the more open to interpretation system?: Ummm, maybe have a comment count requirement, but I can see where that would be limiting so yeah. This seems pretty good.
How quickly would you say it took you to reach the requirements?: This question is unclear. Do you mean how long did it take me to do all the threads? 'Cause I sure as hell don't know. Otherwise, answering the check was pretty easy.
General thoughts on the activity check: One caveat: character squatters might just spam threads near when the activity check happens to rack up stuff to link. I would suggest including a date for when the thread happened in the "thread with character x" section to make this sorta stuff easier to spot. Maybe also add a section for players to mention whether they went on hiatus at any point during the month to explain possible gaps in activity.

I don't think we're going to have a problem with character squatting from what I've seen, but Lina brings up a good point, so I'm going to +1 the suggestion that we ask for dates with the threads or else a similar system to prevent this from happening.

From a mod perspective, I personally don't mind if people put up posts just before AC so they can avoid getting dropped (RL can bite you in the butt sometimes, shit happens and you can't always put up a hiatus notice in time), but if this is done then I expect that people actually, you know... tag back on them with some substance. Or else let the mod team know what's going on, since we don't want characters getting the boot if they don't deserve it.
