New AC Poll
There are many, many variations possible with the Activity Check, and the mods have decided that we are definitely revising it.
Given the myriad of options, we tried to put together a good proposal AC to put by the playerbase, one based around the comments we got as well as what we'd be capable of keeping up with given all the other things we have to keep up with. Since a monthly AC would involve a mod being occupied with AC two weeks of every month, we decided to see if you guys would be okay with a bimonthly one.
This is the proposal AC we came up with:
AC would be bimonthly as it is now and follow the same schedule. Players wouldn't have to make AC with every character but would have an increased number they had to make it with if they played more characters. Someone with 1-2 characters has to make AC with only 1 of them. Someone with 3-4 characters has to make AC with 2. Someone with 5-6 characters has to make AC with 3 of them, and the rare few with 7-8 would have to make AC with 4 characters.
Players could make AC with the following options:
One open post
OR
Two threads of at least ten comments made by your character
OR
One open event/meeting that lets others mingle, such as a movie night or training session.
OR
One plot posted with open signups.
Now, this AC is only going to be put into place if it passes with a majority vote. If it doesn't, please offer up suggestions/comments/criticisms in the comments. We'll keep tweaking it based on player comments until it reaches a happy medium and gets a passing vote by the playerbase. The poll will be open until May 31st at midnight EST.

Do you approve of this proposed new AC?
no subject
I just want to say that this is a very valid concern you and the other players who have brought it up have, so I encourage everyone who has this concern to vote "No," so we can come up with a revision. The mods would just revise it now, but we do need this as a measure of what kind of AC the players want, so the vote is meant to show us where the split lies. If it passes as is, it means the majority wanted it structured this way, if it doesn't pass, it means it has to be changed to something with more options, such as perhaps having an option of five comments a thread, but maybe having it be three threads rather than two, or having just an overall comment count.
A lot of games have a variety of ways to make AC, to compensate exactly for the problems you and Dove have pointed out, so I encourage players to keep pointing them out and offering alternatives here and definitely vote where your preference lies.
