This has been a long time coming (yeah, I know), and I full on recognised that this needed to be done over a week ago, but it's time to actually get it done while I actually have some free Internet time to spare.

Yeah, I'm going to have to pull Sokka out of the game.

I love you guys to pieces. I really do. But the combination of being on the computer less and less these past few weeks, being inundated with a lot of IRL planning work, and being at such a terrible time zone offset from the main cloister of posters makes it extremely difficult to feel like I actually am in the thick of the game. It saddens me to take Sokka out, and I'm a little ashamed at having waited this long to do so, but dem's the breaks.

If you have any questions for me re: what's happening with Sokka's belongings, details, feel free to poke me here as I'm not frequently on Plurk these days either (for much the same reasons).

Also feel free to poke me on AIM or Skype at any point. Though I'm not going to be in Tu Shanshu at least for the time being, there are friendships I've made here that I'd love to carry forward into the future. :3

This period of AC covers July 1st to July 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 12 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.

→ 15 comments by your character

May be reached in a maximum of three separate threads.
Fifteen 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. Inbox threads do not qualify.
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.
Posts not appropriately tagged with your character's community tags are not eligible for AC.

→ Activity Check Points

Making minimum or base activity of 15 comments rewards 1 point.
Per every group of 15+ tags beyond base (again, spread across maximum 3 threads apiece), rewards 1 additional point.
Comment totals do not carry outside their group (ie; one thread of 29 comments still only counts as 1 group, meaning the next group has to have at least 15 in itself, not only 1.)
Total cap of 60 tags equaling 4 points per month, per character, available to earn.
Mods will note your point gain for the month when confirming your AC, and update the point tracking spreadsheet accordingly.

Characters accepted in July 2015 or who were on official and approved hiatus for two weeks or more during the activity period are exempt. Your AC status (exempted/not exempted) is included as part of your hiatus confirmation comment. IMPORTANT! Players must still check in if the hiatus has already ended or they are new (even if no activity links are required to pass) so that we have a record of your activity, and so we don't accidentally sweep anyone from the game. Characters who are not checked in and are not presently on hiatus will still qualify as taking a strike.

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 within a 6-month period 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.

You have until August 7th @ 11:59PM EST to fill out this activity check for your character(s).
