ACTIVITY CHECK

As always, we'd like to make sure the Cast and Contact pages are completely up to date.

Please check those pages and make sure that everything is right with you/your characters.

***
We do feel that it's necessary to show that a player has been somewhat active in the game. So we're asking that people just post one thread they've done in the past month and a half - from the beginning of April until now - with any one of their characters. If you haven't, then there's still seven days until the end of the AC, so get a-posting! This is just one thread per player, for ANY of your characters, from either a channel posting or an action log.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Post here with a statement with your user-handle, and character name/canon/journal, and a link to one thread you've done with any one of your characters since the beginning of April. This is the stuff we need.

<b>Player handle:</b> Player Journal: AIM: E-mail: <b>Character names, canons, and journals:</b> <b><a href="MY LINK HERE">My activity thread</a></b>

Bolded is required. The other stuff can be left empty, but it's what's going on the contact list, so if you want it there, put it there! Or, if your current entry is up to date, just note that.

2. Newbies are exempt. If you're a new player that has either had a character podpopped in April or a new player that just got accepted in April, you don't have to post your activity. However, while this has no bearing on your actual game status, given that we're using it to update the cast roster/contact list, we would like you to post with the other stuff, instead.

3. Hiatuses. Please always remember to post up your hiatus in the HIATUS POST! Posting in the main community is to tell the other players, but the hiatus post is important to us since it easily tells us who is and who is not on hiatus. If you've already announced a hiatus, slowatus, or the like--we'll check the hiatus post for people who said they wouldn't be around. We'll try and check the OOC comm too, but you miiiiight end up getting a poke email because it's easier to miss things that are just on the comm. If you can, however, please post on this check saying you are on hiatus too, it can help us out, although it is not necessary.

4. Lack of Response After Contact. We will be sending out a gamewide e-mail during the check. We will do this to ensure that everyone gets a message about the activity check. Make sure your e-mail is up to date as a result! If you respond late, you'll have to hit up the next activity check (barring a hiatus announcement or the like), or you'll automatically be booted with no email. If you don't respond to two checks in a row, you will also be booted off.

5. Das Boot. If you get booted and didn't get a chance to put up a hiatus message, and it was just a slip of the memory, you lost your internet, some kinda LIFE thing happened, it's okay. Just let us know. Stuff happens, and this is just to weed out the people who've lost interest and wandered off without saying, not to punish people who've had bad luck or busyness or absent-mindedness or whatever. We'll put you back in if something like that has happened, even if it's even an accidental "Crud, I just forgot what week it was!" It's really nothing personal, it's not irreversible, it's just an administration thing.

6. Honesty. Please take a look at your characters and the activity of each. If you have inactive characters, and you've been busy, lacking inspiration, feeling blah, but intend to get active with them again, awesomesauce. Now might be a good time to hunt down someone to play with, contact the mods for a part in upcoming plots, or post the OOC asking folks for CR ideas. But please be honest with yourself whether or not you'll be active with the character again. We care more about players just hanging around, than specific characters being active, so we're leaving it up to the players to judge whether or not they've still got it in 'em to get active with a character--we'll only step in if it seems like someone is character squatting for a significant amount of time.

7. When the check ends. One week from tomorrow (May 25)! That should give everyone time to hit this.

DOWN TO BUSINESS

I'd also like to remind all the players with a Department Head, a Councilor, or the Captain, that the next Activity Check will require you to have one open post. Again, this policy does not go into effect until after this check, which will be over by July 1st. This means that from July 1st to about mid-August, you must have one open post up to pass AC. There will also be a watercooler and an IC meet and greet right after the Check, in June.

Go post, our meatlings!

We do feel that it's necessary to show that a player has been somewhat active in the game.

However, while this has no bearing on your actual game status, given that we're using it to update the cast roster/contact list, we would like you to post with the other stuff, instead. Newbies are not exempt this time, as it's been nearly three months since their characters popped. Everyone is required to respond.

Hello players! It's that time again for a Player's Check. Please note that the link is on Dreamwidth so that no one has problems with the layout. This is also the perfect time to post with your new Dreamwidth accounts. Don't have them yet? Don't forget to post here so that Shae can add them to the list!

The next part is information gathering! Stacy Census 2012 seeks to help the mods see who is in what organization, what pets they have, what buildings they say in, and so on. It's fun, painless, and makes Pixle's information gathering all the more...gathered. Head on to this link and please fill it out with all your characters!

Player's Check Closes at 11:59PM EST If you don't want to be cut, go post here!

Hey meatshippers,

Don't forget to go sign the activity check before we close it!

Thank you.

We do feel that it's necessary to show that a player has been somewhat active in the game. So we're asking that people just post one thread they've done in the past few months - from the beginning of October until now - with any one of their characters. If you haven't, then there's still seven days until the end of the AC, so get a-posting! This is just one thread per player, for ANY of your characters, from either a channel posting or an action log.

4. Lack of Response. Whoever doesn't post will get an email after the end of the check, when we've tallied everything up. They will have a week to respond to the email, and if they don't, they'll get another email informing them they've been booted.

As with last time, we do feel that it's necessary to show that a player has been somewhat active in the game.

Wow, it's been a while since we've done one of these, hasn't it? Since we're in the middle of our first invite-only round, it's time to make sure all our lists are up to date! Which means:

ACTIVITY CHECK

As always, we'd like to make sure the Cast and Contact pages are completely up to date. Please check those pages and make sure that everything is right with you/your characters. If you see someone we've missed - either they're here and we don't have them, or we have them and they've left - please let us know, too.

( This is a LJ Cut, Duh. )

Hey everyone, this app cycle is over, and you know what that means: It's time for an...

ACTIVITY CHECK

Before we start - we've been trying to make sure the Cast and Contact pages are (finally) completely up to date. Obviously, this AC may change things, so they won't be finalized until this is over - but please check those pages and make sure that everything is right with you/your characters. If you see someone we've missed, please let us know, too.

We're also going to be doing something a (very little) bit different this time around; hit the cut to see more.

( This is a LJ Cut, Duh. )

You knew it was coming! Activity check is now HERE.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Post here with a statement with your user-handle, like so:

Please use the user handle you sent us in your app, that you're on the contact list with. We compare to the Contact List to do the check.

2. Newbies are exempt. If you're a new player that has either had a character podpopped this month or a new player that just got accepted this month, you don't have to sign but it sure is convenient for Col if you do

3. Hiatuses. Don't bother doing the check if you've already announced a hiatus, slowatus, or the like--we'll check the hiatus tag for people who said they wouldn't be around.

4. Lack of Response. Whoever doesn't post will get an email after the end of the check, when we've tallied everything up. They will have a week to respond to the email, and if they don't, they'll get another email informing them they've been booted.

If you have inactive characters, and you've been busy, lacking inspiration, feeling blah, but intend to get active with them again, awesomesauce. Now might be a good time to hunt down someone to play with, contact the mods for a part in upcoming plots, or post the OOC asking folks for CR ideas. But please be honest with yourself whether or not you'll be active with the character again. We care more about players just hanging around, than specific characters being active, so we're leaving it up to the players to judge whether or not they've still got it in 'em to get active with a character--we'll only step in if it seems like someone is character squatting for a significant amount of time.

7. When the check ends. The check ends the same time Apps close.

1/31 - 11:59 EST | 2/1 - 4:59 AM GMT

This means, we send the Poke email on 2/1, and people have to answer it by 2/7.

I'll go first!

SSSAPHIE is still alive and smokin'!

Free Threading is now open again!

The funeral thing will happen in a bit, but folks can now do entrance posts and such.

OH, ALSO

Uh, the mods were so caught up in plot we forget to do the activity check. *head desk*

We only realized it when it was way too late. Normal checks will happen the first week of each month from here on out. It's just this time, we were juggling so many things, we dropped something. Sorry, guys.

As we said here, we'd like to implement an activity check system, once monthly, that's open the whole first week of the month. (It closes on October 7 11:59 pm EST).

We're going to try this as our first experimental check. (If you miss this, don't freak out, this is just a test run to see if it works for everyone).

HOW IT WORKS

1. Post here with a statement with your user-handle (the one you apped under) like this:

SAPHIE is still here!

2. Newbies are exempt. If you're a new player this month, don't worry about it.

3. Don't bother if you've already announced a hiatus or the like--we'll check the hiatus tag for people who said they wouldn't be around.

4. Whoever doesn't post will get an email after the end of the week, when we've tallied everything up. They will have a week to respond to the email, and if they don't, they'll get another email informing them they've been booted. If they respond, they have to hit up the next activity check (barring a hiatus announcement or the like), or they'll automatically be booted with no email.

5. If you get booted, and it was just a slip of the memory, you lost your internet, some kinda LIFE thing happened, it's okay. Just let us know. Stuff happens, and this is just to weed out the people who've lost interest and wandered off without saying, not to punish people who've had bad luck or busyness or absent-mindedness or whatever. We'll put you back in if something like that has happened, even if it's even an accidental "Crud, I just forgot what week it was!" It's really nothing personal, it's not irreversible, it's just an administration thing. We're not mad at people who idle out, so it's kinda easy to get back in if there were mitigating circumstances.

DOWN TO BUSINESS

Remember, this is an experimental check. We're just trying it out to see how well it works. If it works out okay, if people don't find it too irritating, we'll add it to the rules. If it doesn't work so well/people don't like it, we'll figure something else out. I'll go first:
