Welcome to Tu Shanshu's monthly activity check!
This period of AC covers
July 1st to
July 31st and in order to qualify for this period, the thread or posts in question need to fall
between these dates. Although the AC has a grace period of seven days in which to post your threads, any post or thread
must be started between the dates of July 1st and July 31st. Backtagging is fine – if your thread is standing at nine comments and the final contribution to it comes between the 31st and the 7th, that's totally acceptable! But keep the starting date requirement in mind.
That said, here are the requirements of a Tu Shanshu activity check!
- One post, either in
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
tushanshu_logs or tushanshu respectively. It's perfectly acceptable to have made more than one post (or one in each, for example) but you must meet the minimum requirement of one, and there has to be evidence of you having made an effort to reply to the tags.
OR
- A total of twenty comments in other people's threads throughout the game, either in a log or in the primary comm. This cumulative count may be reached in a maximum of four separate threads, but requires twenty overall comments from your character, not the final total of the thread itself.
One important thing to note:
If you have used a thread with a particular character to meet your AC in one month, you are NOT ALLOWED to solely use that same character again in the following month. In other words: At least
one of the threads you use for AC
must be with a character that was
not used to make AC in the prior month. This is to encourage tagging outside of your established CR.
For example: I'm playing Luke Skywalker, and for this month's AC I used a thread with Han Solo to make my comment AC. That means that next month, I'm not permitted to use Han again, even if we've done a dozen threads since. However, a thread with Leia Organa is perfectly acceptable.
Characters accepted in
July 2013 or who were on official and approved hiatus for
two weeks or more during the activity period are exempt from the Activity Check. However, everyone is encouraged to fill it out so that we have a record of your activity, and so we don't accidentally sweep anyone from the game.
If for any reason you have been unable to meet the AC and your character is 'swept' from the game, you may reclaim this character
once if you reply to the Activity Check results. If that particular character lands on the AC again, you will need to re-apply for them, except in the case of extenuating circumstances. Characters who are
not reclaimed will be considered dropped, and removed from the game.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: For those interested in apping a 4th character at the conclusion of this AC, please be advised we do look for additional activity before approval to app a 4th will be granted. That means we are looking for
double AC - for example, a post and twenty comments or forty comments. Making two posts, however, is not permissible.
You have until
August 7th to fill out this activity check for your character(s).
