Hello, Sinners! ❤ Two quick reminders for this month: —February is 29 days this year! —There will
NOT be a mid-month reminder to post AC as January's was our last mid-month reminder as we transitioned to a month-long open 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 characters.
Starting today,
FEBRUARY 1st, you will have one month (until
FEBRUARY 29th — 11:59 PM, Eastern USA time) to post your activity for
FEBRUARY. This post will not be updated with a "closed" comment, but the mod will be checking timestamps.
Activity Check is now two threads, the length requirement of which depend on how backtagged it is (please read the first point below for details).Other things to keep in mind are as follows—
✖ Links posted for AC must be from posts either in the month being checked, or, if they meet certain criteria, up to two months in the past. You may use threads started as late within the last two months IF you have four timestamped comments in each month for however old the thread start is. That's an average of one tag a week at minimum from your character in a thread in backtagged threads. For example, what February AC might look like for me as a player doing my AC— I can use a thread started as late as December as long as I have four timestamped comments from my character dated in December AND four timestamped comments from my character dated in December. If I use a thread that was started in January, I need four January-dated timestamped comments from my character. If I use a thread that was started in February, I just need more than one February-dated timestamped comment from my character in it. Any combination of the aforementioned are acceptable, so long as two threads that meet any of those criteria are presented for AC. Here is a more bullet pointed version of this explanation.
✖ If you have an insufficient comment count, a save will be required. You may ask for one, or the mod will tell you if it's needed. A save is providing one additional thread that meets the criteria (meaning your AC proof on a save would have three threads in the submission).
✖ 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 mod requested it, you will need to provide AC of the new save outlined above. If you or or your character is new this month, you just need to check in. In the case of hiatus during the time of AC, please consult our hiatus rules.
✖ AC rules can be found HERE, if you want to check up on them! The mod recommends 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:

❱ 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.
❱ Please do not post more threads than you need for AC; you should only be posting two threads in your comment.
