✔ ACTIVITY CHECK

Hello, Sinners! It's AC post time. A reminder for OCTOBER ONLY: This is our fourth wall month, so I will reiterate here: Any fourth wall comments by characters already in game are eligible to be used for AC. This is done on a CHARACTER basis, not PLAYER — meaning: current players can play characters they don't already have in game on this test drive, but they can't use those threads for AC.


►If you want to be sure to not miss AC posts, I would recommend tracking the "!activity check" tag; it will send the post — posts exactly like this one! — to your inbox.
►The "!ac results" tag is for posts that list any AC-swept (or player-dropped in the last few days of AC) characters.





Starting OCTOBER 1st, you will have one month (until OCTOBER 31st — 11:59 PM, Eastern USA time) to post your activity for OCTOBER. This post will not be updated with a "closed" comment.

Activity Check is a simple check in with a link to proof of play in the current month. A single comment is not playing. Please don't abuse this.

Other things to keep in mind are as follows—

✖ Links posted for AC must be from posts IN THE MONTH BEING CHECKED. Exceptions can be made at moderator discretion for posts in the last two days of the previous month. This means no backtags for AC - you can't use the same thread for AC twice. You can backtag all you like! But not for AC. No scraping in after the fact - if you weren't playing, say so. We'll only ask you for a Save, it's not a big deal.

✖ If you have an insufficient comment count, a save will be required. You may ask for one, or we will tell you if it's needed. A Save has generally been a request for a solid five comments in a thread - ie, show us you're actually playing the next time, and we're good.

✖ Not responding to AC (or failing AC while on a save or other stipulation) means you will be swept. Please check the rules regarding sweeping.

✖ If you required a Save last month or the Mods requested it, you will need to provide AC of the new Save outlined above. If you were on hiatus for more than two weeks or were accepted in the most recent app cycle, you just need to check in.

✖ AC rules can be found HERE, if you want to check up on them! We recommend you check the rules regularly, all the same.


In summation:
    Current Players - DO AC AS PER ABOVE. Ask questions if you have them. If you're unsure, post your AC anyway; if there are any issues, we'll let you know and help you fix them.
    New Players/Characters - Exempt for the month they were accepted; must check in.


Here is the AC form; please adjust and copy as needed for the number of characters you play, and review the examples below:



EXAMPLES:

—Your comment should look like this:

—And here's what a comment that needed more than one thread should look like:

• It does not matter if you put the character name in all caps or not, as long as it's there.
• If you play more than one character, you may put all of your characters in one comment, or you may do separate comments for each.
• You do not have to link every thread you participated in (but if you want to, then you can), unless something has been discussed in private with the mod about your AC.
