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.

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.

OOC Information:
Name: Melon
Contact: PMs or PP on Plurk (iamthemurderer).

Character: Mineva Lao Zabi/Audrey Burne
Character Journal: searchforpeace
Plot Relevant Action: Went with Takako and Colette to see the snake statue. Also went to it's tearing down.

Thread 1: Thread with Takako.
Thread 2: Action thread with Takako and Colette.
Thread 3: Thread with Matthew Brillion/Megatron.

How did you find meeting these requirements?: Pretty easy really. I needed time to go through the network since Audrey was told to reach back through the network in her first post. After that though she jumped in pretty easy.
Would you prefer more clearly defined requirements, or do you like the more open to interpretation system? I would rather have something more defined. I'm used to games with the whole '1 post + 1 log, 2 posts, 1 post/1 log + so many comments, # of comments' when it comes to AC.

Also when it comes to plot, sometimes there just isn't a place for your particular character to fit in. Audrey isn't the fighting type, at least not fists or things like that and self-defense training will only get you so far so things like the werewolf hunt would be beyond her. The snake statue bit was a nice inclusion and if plot is going to be a required part of AC, I'd like to see both fighting/action options and more 'nonviolent' sorts in all of the plots.

How quickly would you say it took you to reach the requirements? Just a few days.
General thoughts on the activity check: Simply more clearly defined rules on what counts as a good thread length, what doesn't, etc.

We've got plenty of plot variety planned so that both fighters and non-fighters get an equal piece of the action, so not to worry on that front. There'll be things to do for characters of all backgrounds, rest assured.
