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>

Optional.

How did you find meeting these requirements?: Pretty easy, honestly.

Would you prefer more clearly defined requirements, or do you like the more open to interpretation system?

I both like it and dislike it. On the one hand, I do appreciate the effort to normalize threads with lots of tl;dr but a lower comment count versus a massive commentspam chain. However, "moderate" is something of a confusing term, as others have mentioned. I rather like the concept of a range. Or perhaps it can be something to the effect of "x number of comments OR x number of words"?

How quickly would you say it took you to reach the requirements? In approximately ten days maybe?
General thoughts on the activity check:

A couple things! One: This AC form has a section for plot relevant action, and then the links to four different threads. Does that mean we need four threads PLUS plot-relevant action, or four threads INCLUDING plot-relevant action?

Second, for example, if your plot-relevant action is something like the werewolf-hunting log in which there were multiple people in the thread, how does it count, exactly? In my particular case several of the people in that thread with me were ones I'd had threads of significant length previously, and I was unsure about linking it as a piece of activity itself considering that the characters in it were all characters I linked for the "threads with four different characters" part of the AC.

Third, posts! If you should make a plot-relevant post (i.e. Casval's LET'S GO KILL SOME WEREWOLVES or Chris's BOOYEAH STATUE VANDALISM) which gets many replies from several characters, does that count as both your plot-relevant action and your four threads?

Finally, are we required to link our evidence of plot-relevant action, or is it enough to simply state it? (Mostly I've seen people stating it on this post, but I haven't clicked all the links to be sure)
