This period of AC covers October 1st to October 31st and is different from regular activity checks! As mentioned HERE, we are now doing a check-in style/summary style AC from now until endgame. Please be aware that the check in IS mandatory unless you're on hiatus. Thank you!

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

Hey chelonauts, I just realized we hadn't officially announced this, so sorry for leaving it to the last minute or leaving people scratching their heads regarding AC.

Tu Shanshu is moving to a check-in/summarize style activity check (like we did in September for the remaining couple of months while the game winds down, so there won't be any comment counts required. December has always been a check-in month for us at this game anyway since HOLIDAYS, so it's not going to be a huge change in that regard.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and thanks!

This period of AC covers September 1st to September 30th and is different from regular activity checks! As mentioned in our October Itinerary, there are game changes coming soon which will be outlined in our next State of the Shell next week.

In light of that, and because the game has been considerably slow, we're offering a different type of check in AC this month. Instead of requiring a comment count, we're asking for a brief summary of characters' happenings for the past month. A couple of sentences should be sufficient, just so we know they're still kicking around.

Regular bonus point AC is still available for those who have the threads! Submit those are normal in the AC form. Please be aware that the check in IS mandatory unless you're on hiatus. Thank you!

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

This period of AC covers August 1st to August 31st and is different from regular activity checks! As noted on this post, there are no comment requirements at all for the month of August, 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.

However, you can submit threads for the bonus AC points if you have them and wish to get the points, but the base activity is covered for everyone with just the check in. Please be aware that the check in IS mandatory unless you're on hiatus. Thank you!

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

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 five days in which to continue existing threads up to the 5th 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 30th and the 5th, 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 2017 are not required to provide AC proofs for this month, only a check in. If, however, you have a new character and would LIKE to provide AC you've gotten in your first month, you can still provide proofs for the three bonus ACs, and earn points for them.

Characters who were on official and approved hiatus for ten (10) days 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 5th @ 11:59PM EST to fill out this activity check for your character(s).

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 February 5th @ 11:59PM EST to fill out this activity check for your character(s).

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!

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

This post outlines the initial results from Tu Shanshu's November 2016 Activity Check, compiled from the activity check post that went up on Dec 1, 2016.

Preliminary List of Swept Characters:
The following characters are currently identified as having not made AC, due to not checking in on the AC 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 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.

Daenerys Targaryen |

valyriandragon - NO AC REPLY; AUTO-DROPPED
Desmond Miles |

shirley_templar - NO AC REPLY; AUTO-DROPPED
Percy Jackson |

nacl - NO AC REPLY; AUTO-DROPPED
Richard Gansey |

quiet - NO AC REPLY; AUTO-DROPPED

Automatic Reclaim:
The game's automatic reclaim policy states that, 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, and therefore you do not have to reply to this post for the reclaim. The following characters are identified as having not made AC due to insufficient activity and have been automatically reclaimed:

Yami no Bakura |

denyamenti

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 rules page:

Marinette Dupain-Cheng |

luckyspots (reclaimed October 2016)
Rey |

sensitively (reclaimed August 2016)

A reminder that the next AC period is December 1-31, 2016 and is a check-in month only, and it will go up on January 1st, 2017.

This period of AC covers November 1st to November 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 five days in which to continue existing threads up to the 5th 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 30th and the 5th, 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 November 2016 are not required to provide AC proofs for this month, only a check in. If, however, you have a new character and would LIKE to provide AC you've gotten in your first month, you can still provide proofs for the three bonus ACs, and earn points for them.

Characters who were on official and approved hiatus for ten (10) days 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 December 5th @ 11:59PM EST to fill out this activity check for your character(s).
