MAY WRAP + ACTIVITY CHECK


OOC + IC UPDATES


Hey all! We hope we had a great month and are looking forward to summer weather (...do we have any southern hemisphere players right now? If so, bundle up!). A new calendar will be going live late tonight. For now, a casual reminder to take a look at the current calendar and get signed up for the eggsitting mini-event if you care to.

Now, some mechanical changes. After this activity check, we're tweaking activity requirements and how activity check works for new characters. This is to encourage logging and mental posts in the comm proper, particularly during missions.

NEW PLAYERS/CHARACTERS will no longer have a freebie check-in month. Instead, new characters will be required to make half AC during their first month. If an applicant arrives in game more than halfway through a month, they will be required to make a quarter AC. Because of this, we'll no longer be processing apps and hatching new characters in the last week of the month.

GENERAL AC REQUIREMENTS will remain at the thirty comments per month, however mental link comments can now only make up a maximum of half your AC proofs (so no more than 15). All your comments in game regardless of venue can still be counted for AP.


This won't change anything for this activity check period, so this week is business as usual. But otherwise if you have any questions, comments or concerns don't hesitate to drop us a note in the questions section below.


AC CHECK - May


This activity check covers tags made during the month of May. As a reminder, to pass AC you must have:
At least thirty (30) comments from you across two to five threads, including Mental Link boxes.

Any combination (15+5+10; 10+5+8+7; 15+15, etc) is suitable as long as you reach the total required comment count.

All players are required to respond to this post by 11:59 PST on the 5th. Anyone who doesn't respond will be added to the AC warning list and have 24 hours to respond before being automatically dropped from the game. If you can't make AC this round, please reply to this post to request a strike. If you take a strike this month, you'll be required to turn in a total of 40 comments across up to 6 threads during the next AC check to clear the strike and pass AC.

New Players/New Characters who have never done AC aren't required to meet the comment count, but please reply here anyway as a check in.

To respond to AC, please fill out the following form and post it below:




HIATUS AC EXEMPTIONS:
Misato
Parker
Petre
Kavinsky

STRIKES:
Clint
Shepard


As a reminder, any tags you've done in addition to your AC requirement may be logged and banked toward earning and spending AP. Remember not to count the tags you've used to make your AC count.

since 7.5 doesn't work in this situation, would a quarter ac be 7 or 8 comments?

I am probably overthinking but where you say the amended AC is to encourage logging and mental posts in the comm proper, does this mean that by those 15 mental link comments you mean

comments where interaction is being conducted solely via mental link connection, regardless of forum; or
comments on mental link boxes, regardless of style of interaction?


This is pretentiously formatted because I was confusing myself with it as a run-on, please forgive.

I think this note about keeping track of mission stuff where it is visible is important!

Definitely hoping both content and plotting can be pushed more to take place where we can all see it. I definitely understand that the onus is on us players to do this, but I'm hoping (in regards to plot particularly) maybe you guys could throw in some reminders? On plot posts, in responses to plotting questions/pms. I'm just as guilty as anyone else of getting excited and doing all my plotting on plurk, so I'm hoping we can all kind of work as a community to make ourselves more visible when it comes to our big collaborative missions?!

(And I mean throwing this out there to hold myself accountable to trying to be more visible myself.)

And as I slowly work through my excess of extra tags, this one had another 92 on it: https://integrating.dreamwidth.org/8163.html?thread=129251#cmt129251

For another 2 AP to fulfill monthly limit. Can I just... have that one further point and cross this one off my list of 'to be banked'?
