Activity Check | December 1-31, 2016

[ironwood]

This period of AC covers December 1st to December 31st and is different from regular activity checks! As noted on the Nov AC, there are no comment requirements and this is a check-in only month, meaning that you only need to fill out the AC form listing your name, your character(s), and that indicates you're present/wishing to remain in the game. Please be aware that the check in IS mandatory unless you're listed on hiatus.

As part of our December State of the Shell, we asked that players vote for their top three preferred plots from the choices provided, so that the modteam can work on furthering the metaplot in the most efficient and entertaining way possible! We are requiring player participation in that poll as part of this Activity Check, so please include the link to your comment in the form below.

Thank you, and Happy New Year from your mods!

<b>Player:</b> Your Name <b>Character Name</b> | Canon (or Original) | <user name="USER"> <b>Plot Vote Comment</b> <a href="LINK">link</a>

You have until January 5th to fill out this activity check for your character(s).

An Unhappy Announcement

[ironwood]

As we go into 2017, I have some tragic news to share.

As some of you might have seen on Plurk, on Christmas Eve we very suddenly lost a fellow player and dear friend, Leon (player of Fletch/Peter/Alek).

Although he'd been ill for a couple months, he'd just been released from hospital and was looking forward to getting back to things. He joined TuShan back in March of 2015 with Shay Cormac, and was a joy to interact with both ICly and OOCly, and he was much more than simply a roleplay acquaintance for many. He was always willing to listen and talk with people even about non-RP things, and his upbeat personality and sense of humour will be enormously missed.

I offered a message of deepest condolences to the family, and asked if there was any preferred charity or organization that could be donated to in Leon's name, for those who are interested in doing so. If there's a response, I'll update this post with links and information.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

EDIT 01/03/17: His mum replied and said that since Leon (Dean) drove volunteer for St John's Ambulance, she felt that's where he would want any donations made.

I spoke with both his mum and dad online and they said they didn't know much about his online friends but were interested in learning. I thought maybe we could each write something small about how we knew him and what sort of things we'll remember him for, etc. They gave me their email and I've screened the comments for this post, so if you want to write a letter etc here, I'll group them all together and forward them this weekend.
