[ironwood]

This post outlines the initial results from Tu Shanshu's February 2014 Activity check, compiled from the activity check post that went up on March 1, 2014.

Preliminary List of Swept Characters:
The following characters are currently identified as having not made AC, either from insufficient activity or from failing to have their AC reported on the post. If this list contains one or more of your characters and you still wish to play them, you have THREE days from the posting of this notice (by 9:00PM PST on March 10th) to make a comment to this post with 'RECLAIM' in the subject line and the character name/username in the comment itself. We will confirm the reclaim via the ironwood account.

> Abigail Hobbs | relatable
> Bolin | sedimental
> Christopher Pike | pikes
> Gaius Septimus | survival_isnt_living
> Lois Lane | wherethestoryis
> Tim Drake | inhisherosimage

Ineligible For Reclaim:
The following characters are currently identified as having not made AC, either from insufficient activity or from failing to have their AC reported on the post AND are ineligible to reclaim due to having been previously reclaimed in the past six months, in accordance with the activity check details outlined on the gameplay page:

> Percy Jackson | kelpful (reclaimed Jan 2014)

Automatic Reclaim:
As commenced recently, we have instituted a policy wherein if you note in your AC submission that you have insufficient activity and would like to use your reclaim for the character, we will automatically apply it. The following characters are identified as having not made AC due to insufficient activity and have been automatically reclaimed:

> Cassie Lang | werethatgood
> Marius Pontmercy | saisamour
> Natasha Romanoff | chernaya

Reminder: Our policy states that there must be evidence of effort being made in responding to tags in a post submitted as AC. This is taken into account when determining whether activity submitted meets the policies of Tu Shanshu. Additionally, the hiatus exemption only applies for hiatuses with at least two weeks that fall within the month in question and is noted on your hiatus confirmation.

A reminder that the next AC period is March 1-31, 2014 and will use the comment based requirements, the full outline of which has been included in a comment to this post (see below). The activity check for it will go up on April 1, 2014.

Comments

NEW ACTIVITY GUIDELINES - FOR APRIL 1

[ironwood]

This period of AC covers March 1st to March 31st and in order to qualify for this period, the threads in question need to fall on posts or logs started between these dates. Backtagging is fine – the AC has a grace period of seven days in which to continue existing threads up to the 7th in order to make the required comment count. For example, if your thread is standing at 17 comments and the final 3 comments are added between the 31st and the 7th, that's totally acceptable! However starting a thread (for example on the 4th) on a post made from the previous month (on the 28th) would not count.

→ 20 comments by your character

• May be reached in a maximum of four separate threads.
  
• Twenty overall comments from your character, not the final total of the thread(s) itself.
  
• Reaction spam (or icon chain) comments (like 1/4... etc) only count as one reply.
  
  
• In the instance of closed logs or locked network posts with no public content, please note that only one thread from these entries qualifies for the AC's overall comment count, including the entry itself.
  
  EXAMPLE: If you make a log locked to two people that accumulates one thread with 10 comments and a second thread with 10 comments, you can only use one of them rather than the whole post counting as the required 20 comments. However if the same post were to have two people reply but one of the threads hit 20 comments by that character in itself including the entry as a "starter comment", that could be used. This only applies to closed logs/posts that limit the number of participants; multiple threads from public network posts or from open/catch-all logs are exempted from this stipulation.
• If you have used a thread with a single character to meet your entire AC in one month (all 20+ comments), you are NOT ALLOWED to solely use that same character again in the following month for the entire AC.
  
  EXAMPLE: I'm playing Luke Skywalker and for this month's AC I used a single thread with Han Solo (with 20+ comments) to make my comment AC. That means that next month, I'm not permitted to use only Han again, even if I've done a dozen threads with other characters since. However, 20 comments accumulated across threads with Leia Organa, Yoda AND Han Solo is perfectly acceptable.
