Welcome to Activity Check, the post that will be serving all your activity check needs. Please have all activity noted in this post by the end of the month, or a mod will contact you to see what's going on after the post is checked. Anyone on Hiatus is only exempt from posting here if they were gone for the entirety of the month.

This will be put up the first week of every month, and be available for player posts until the next month begins. Reminders will be posted during the last week of the month.

Activity will consist of one (1) current post, and ten (10) comments from your character in no more than two threads OR fifteen (15) comments from your character in no more than three threads. If the multiple thread option us used, each thread must have at least five (5) comments from your character. You may also use ten (10)/fifteen (15) comments from your character in a single post as explained below.

All threads/posts used for activity must have your character in the post tags to be valid.

Acceptable activity:
Posts can be logs, voice, missives, (or a combined post of these) so long as they are for the current activity month.

Current, in this instance, means between the first and last day of the activity month only. This means that once it becomes the 1st of the month, all further tags and posts are for the next activity month!

Threads may be on the post being used for AC.
Threads may be on posts from previous months so long as the comments are from the current month.
Threads may be on a test drive post so long as both characters are currently in game and the comments are for the current month.
Threads may be on an activity meme post so long as the comments are for the current month.
Threads may be in inbox/contact posts so long as the comments are from the current month.
Threads may be done against the NPC account so long as the comments are from the current month. (This means someone else threading with you from that account.)
Threads may be posted in log format to the community from another source, as long as they were posted in the current activity month in the manner detailed by the rules, and have the appropriate number of comments defined within. They can be used as a post.

Individual theads must be linked from the point at which they start beign valid for the current month, not simply linked as the post if not using the below method.

A post with ten/fifteen current month comments from you, but in multiple threads, may be used as your comments for the month. Please note that the post in question does not have to be yours, but it will have to have all of your activity comments if this method is chosen.

Half Activity is either a post or ten comments for the month! Please keep this in mind if you hiatused or are new!

New people and those on Hiatus for a week or more only need half activity for the month. New people must also be sure to complete the requests listed on the welcoming email to meet activity in the first month.

Anyone on Hiatus for more than three weeks only needs to check in on this post to be clear for the month.

Anyone who fails to get Activity will have penalties!

Players have a reset of penalties if they met full activity between penalty months.

First Penalty: The character that failed activity will be required to post a starter for a thread involving some sort of mission with another character within the game. The mods are more than happy to arrange this for you, be it your character as a civilian requesting it, or your village leader sending you on assignment with someone new. If you have arranged this yourself, simply let the mods know.

Second Penalty: Unfortunately, if you do not make arrangements with the mods in such a situation, we will have to assume you have lost interest and will let your character go until such a time as you reapply.

How to post for Activity Check!
In a top post, use this format:

From there, you may tag into your top-comment at any time with links to threads or posts for activity as you complete them, so long as you indicate what character the activity is for.

Okay we have had a lot of behind the scenes work going on here. So, with that in mind, it's time to let you all know about our changes! First up, everyone, due to popular demand:

Activity Check!
We've changed several things about the way it's worded, how the requirements are handled, what the failed AC penalty is like, etc, so if there's any confusion please leave us a question about it.

Our FAQ posts got an overhaul, and not just that one, but the Application one too.

Of course, us pulling the character limits in the game means we had to Revise the Rules some as well.

All of this was set off by us deciding you all needed an explanation for How the scroll network really worked.

It also concluded with a Consolidated list of Clans and Bloodlines in the game. Our ultimate goal with this list is to have no links to outside sources, and have a profile page of our own for every clan and bloodline currently there and in game. Edit: Now there is a place to donate information! Please come tell us about your clans! We do not fear your teal-deers!

That said, if there are any unresolved questions or confusions, please, by all means, let us know, and we will do our best to clear up the issue.
