MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: MARCH ACTIVITY CHECK

[inthenightmods]

Hey there, Beacon bits!

In light of the global situation with COVID-19, we'll only be requiring a check-in for March AC. We've seen a few other games do this, and we thought it'd be a good idea to follow suit since we imagine at least some of our players could use one less thing to stress about these days.

Here's the details for what to expect with our March AC period:

• Although we won't be tallying comment counts, we would still like for players to fill out the "summary" portion of AC. It's okay if you don't get up to much this month, but the summary sections help us to keep track of what's going on in the game, so please still be prepared to complete that part of AC!


• If you already have a hiatus for March, you don't need to withdraw it. Hiatuses for the March AC period will be automatically "waived" as far as our records are concerned, which just means that any players that hiatused for March will be eligible to hiatus next month if they wish. If you've put in for a March hiatus that would exempt you from having to check in for March AC entirely, this waiving still applies to you and you still don't have to check in for AC.


• If you are unable to check in during March's activity period but you don't have an existing hiatus, please contact us! We're happy to make arrangements so long as players get in touch with us ahead of time.


• If you have an outstanding strike that would require you to make AC for March, you have two options. Everyone in the game gets a freebie this month, and that includes you, so you're welcome to check in just like everyone else. Players with strikes are still required to make AC for two months to clear that strike, though, so please be prepared to adjust your strike-clearing schedule accordingly. If you do have AC for this month, your second option is to submit that AC, which will allow you to work toward clearing your strike. Basically: you can check in if you want, but you can also turn in AC if you want to clear that strike.


• Players interested in playing a Night Market NPC will be required to submit double AC as per usual. Since the Night Market is a bonus opportunity, we aren't making any changes to those AC requirements for this month.

Please feel free to ask questions directly on this post if you have them, or you may always contact us privately if need be. We hope this helps to ease minds even just a little! RP should be a fun break from stress and anxiety, and we want to encourage you all to take care of yourselves. In the Night will be here for you if you need a distraction, and it'll also be here for you if you need to step away for a while.

Stay safe and take it easy, players. ❤

Mippins, Kit, and Danielle
