September Activity Check
Activity check will remain open through October 7th. Only activity from September 1st through September 30th 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/HMD, and do not have to fill out the three thread links and activity summary sections.
• 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, though we do appreciate it. 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.
• Another player may provide activity for another (for example, in the case of broken computers/sickness/etc.), as long as permission is given.
• All other characters must check in with all sections (or accept a strike) by or during the 7th or be removed from the game! Even if you've spoken with a mod processing AC (this month Mark and Kira), please remember to post here as soon as possible! Also keep in mind the three required threads must also be with three different characters.
• All characters must also have a link to some sort of "How's My Driving"/crit post in addition to their info/Echoes post. While there's no other requirements (such as allowing anonymous posting or logging IP addresses), comments do need to be enabled.
Please fill out the following form and add it into a new comment.
Player Section (Paste once.)
Activity Section (Paste once per character. Do not alter the form.)
What can I use?- FAQ:
• 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. As a rule of the thumb, the shortest thread should be a minimum of either three tags of a minimum of two-three lines or five shorter tags.
• Threads can all be from the same entry (for example if your character made a network post, started a log or you were involved in a party log).
• Threads can have been originally started before the month's start. However, at least two threads provided must have been started during the actual month in question, and all threads must have sufficient activity within the cycle duration. Please also refrain from using the same thread for AC more than once.
• You may use up to one inbox thread as activity proof. Up to one "bolstering thread" (see below) can be an inbox thread as well.
In other words, don't sweat it, though if you feel three threads is not enough, you may provide up to two more ("bolstering threads"), both of which can be with a character who is the same as in one of the first three linked threads. If more than one thread only barely meets our minimum requirements, bolstering threads are required.
Strikes: If your character does not meet activity requirements for whatever reason, you may opt to take a strike for them by replying here. 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 December will need to have activity or a declared hiatus each month up to and including April's activity check.
If you will be late posting to AC or claiming a strike, please notify a mod processing AC (this month Mark and Kira) - however, keep in mind that you will still be required to check in to the post itself. Current characters on strike can be found here.
Characters that cannot use a hiatus this month due to having used one last month are:
amajin
jueki
kyoumibukai
