Activity Check | September 1-30, 2014
This period of AC covers September 1st to September 30th 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
Characters accepted in September 2014 or who were on official and approved hiatus for two weeks or more during the activity period are exempt from the Activity Check. 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 October 7th to fill out this activity check for your character(s).
→ 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.
