ACTIVITY CHECK: JANUARY
ACTIVITY CHECK: JANUARY
the basics
Hello, players, and welcome to our activity check for January! Our AC is self-reporting, meaning that all players must comment to this post, even if you have a hiatus or need to take a strike. The one exception to this is if you're on a hiatus that covers the entire duration of the AC period. Characters with a hiatus lasting two weeks or longer do not need to meet the required comment count, but they still need to check in on this post and complete the other AC requirements.
This activity check will close on Friday, January 31st at 11:59 PM EST, and any characters who fail to respond will be swept from the game. We do not post AC warning lists, so it's up to you to remember to post!
The following players have hiatused during this AC period:
- Bella - Sarissa Theron - check-in
Carlee - Elektra Natchios, Dana Scully - check-in
Kitty - Matt Murdock, Carmilla Karnstein - check-in
Wind - Masaomi Kida - check-in
Raina - Jason Todd - check-in
Rachel - Jon Snow - check-in
MJ - Crowley - exempt
Li - Elizabeth - check-in
Laura - Peter Parker - check-in
The following players have taken a strike within the past two months and must make AC this month:
- Jejune - Coraline
Mippins - Newton Geiszler
Margot - Wanda Maximoff
Rachel - Jon Snow
If you have extenuating circumstances regarding this AC period, please PM/PP us directly! We'll leave you off of the above public lists if you contact us privately, as well.
the details
AC for In the Night has three parts.
- COMMENTS: We require a total of 10 comments, with network and TDM comments counting as half a comment. So, 20 network/TDM comments would equal 10 for the purposes of AC, and 4 would equal 2, and so on. Any combination (such as 5 log, 10 network) is fine as long as it adds up to 10. Please use no more than four threads as AC proofs, and make sure to tell us whether threads are meant to be network or log comments! We'll assume network for everything except threads in the log comm if it's not otherwise listed.
- SUMMARY: Let us know what your character has been up to this past month! This may include character developments, growth in CR, neat plot discoveries, or anything else that struck you as noteworthy for your character this month. These short summaries should be no more than a paragraph, as they're intended to give us just the gist of what everyone's doing in game. The content of this write-up will not be judged, (so feel free to be entirely informal,) we just want to keep track of what's going on with the characters since we can't read every thread.
- THREADS: This last part of AC is entirely optional. If you choose, you may link us to threads that are important for plot (or player plot) reasons or for character development, or that you would like to draw our attention to for whatever other reason. If your character is up to something that you think we should be aware of, link us. (These can be threads you used for the 10 comments requirement.) Again, this last part is optional.
Information gathered from these last two elements may be integrated into events and other plot points.
Additionally, players who make double AC with 20+ comments for one character will be entered into a RNG pool for a shot at playing an NPC shopkeeper for the next Night Market visit! The Night Market comes around on the second weekend of every other month, so, for example, the activity checks in October and November will be used to determine the NPCs for a Night Market visit in December. One player will be RNG'd from each month, giving us two players NPCing during each Night Market visit, alongside Pluto and our mods' rotating shopkeepers. Check out this page for details on what to expect from playing a Night Market shopkeeper.
the mini faq
- What threads can I use for AC? Any threads that take place in our
- Can I use threads started before this AC period? What about using a thread for more than one activity check? Yes, though only the comments made during this AC period will count toward activity.
- Sooo I can keep using the same TDM thread with a player from outside the game for months and months and still pass AC? Well, hold your horses there, buckaroo. If we notice a player passing AC by way of using the same thread a bunch of times, using a lot of TDM threads, or other "iffy" things like using a lot of threads with the same characters/players or continuously collecting the majority of their AC in the last few days of the month, we may privately reach out to the player to ask for a wider variety of threads in the future. None of these things are explicitly disallowed, but we do want to make sure players are active participants in the game since we have limited slots. All of that stuff will be handled privately on a case-by-case basis.
