sunshinemodsHow it Works
Activity Check is a post that goes up during the first week of every month, and remains active until the last day of the month it was posted. After that, it's checked over, and anyone who has not posted to the post will be contacted by a mod.
The only ones exempt from posting at least a top comment are those who started hiatus before the post went up, and are not scheduled to return from hiatus until the following month.
You post activity using the form in here as a top comment:
After that, you just add links for activity to that top comment as you complete them throughout the month. These comments may be edited at any time until the month is over.
If you have a new or downgraded character, just put a note next to the character in question so that we know they are on half activity. Half activity also applies to anyone with a Hiatus that spans more than a week and less than three. (More than three is no activity.)
Half Activity is either the post, or ten (10) comments, for the month.
What is Acceptable Activity?
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. You may use any number of comments per thread to reach your needed number, but you may not go over the amount of threads listed.
Always link from the first valid comment in a thread for the month.
As a single exception to the thread count rule, if you submit a post with all your needed comments in the month, regardless of how many threads they are spread over within that post, it will be accepted as valid AC. The post does not have to be yours, it does however have to be on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sunshineverse or sunshine_messages to count.
Please note that all threads/posts used for activity must have your character listed in the community character tags of the post to be valid. This is only not required if they originate on the OOC com or a character's private journal. The real life month on the submitted comments and posts must also always match the month of the Activity Check Post they're being submitted in to be considered current.
Posts
Posts must be on either the Missive or Main community.
Posts can be logs, voice, missives, (or a combined post of these) so long as they are for the current activity month.
Posts may be logs moved over during the current month from another platform so long as they have the appropriate header and follow the body format of "Character journal: the post" or are in some other way visibly indicated in alternating fashion so that they may be counted. Please put any such logs under a cut.
Posts may be shared between two character so long as the content is approximately half and half.
Posts may be written out interactions between two characters (if both players agree), or mission reports posted on the current month as well.
Threads
Threads may be on the post being used for AC.
Threads may be comments from a migrated log so long as the post was made in the current month.
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. (We request the NPC be manned by another player if you use this option.)
Missed AC Penalties
Anyone who doesn't meet Activity will get an In Character penalty that is designed to help you meet your next Activity Check.
How it works is that the character must post a starter tosunshineverse. The post must in some way have to do with a mission, either as client, shinobi contractor, or other, and must include another player when it is arranged, even if no comments make it to the post before the activity period ends.
If you have arranged this for yourself, simply let the mods know and we will count it for your required post. If you do not, we are more than happy to help arrange things with other players for you so that you may meet this requirement.
A second miss on activity in a row will lead to a discussion on how the problem can be remedied, and any further action will be decided then.
Please note that the missed Activity penalties only apply if you actually communicate with the mods. If we cannot reach you, we will give you a grace period of a week after contact, but will ultimately remove the character from the game if you do not respond to attempts made.
