ACTIVITY CHECK: OCTOBER
ACTIVITY CHECK: OCTOBER
the basics
Hello, players, and welcome to our activity check for October! 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 through the entire duration of the AC period. As mentioned in the October Gameplan, this month we begin a limited AC policy: All players not on hiatus are expected to show proof of activity, even if it is just a single comment. Interactions on the Test Drive Meme and participation in explorations (even if you are not the poster of the explore comments) all count for activity as well.
This activity check will close on Saturday, October 31 at 11:59 PM EST. 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:
- N/A
The following players have taken a strike within the past two months and must make either make full AC in September-October or October-November:
- N/A
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 The Next Night has three parts.
- COMMENTS: For the October AC period, at minimum we require a single link to a log, network, inbox, or TDM comment, post, or toplevel, or to an explore thread which your character participated in.
If you do not meet AC for a character, you must still check in, and you may take a strike. In order to clear the strike, you must meet AC for the subsequent two months. If you attempt to take a strike while one already exists on your record, you will be swept.- SUMMARY: Let us know what your character has been up to this past month! For the October AC period, we would still like you to fill this section out! 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.
Submitting 5 log comments/10 network or TDM comments will give one bonus explore token. You may have only one of these tokens at a time, they do not stack across multiple months. We realize that currently, exploration has slowed and are open to considering other types of rewards in the future. If you have ideas, feel free to PM us!
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.

character: Rosinante Donquixote
journal:
comments: 5+ log
summary: Rosinante has generally helped circulate information about what the spirits in the last event told everyone, is still super upset about losing Mary but managed to celebrate Law's birthday anyway (there was lots of beer, that helped) and poked around the graves to see new ones that hadn't been there the first time so he can continue to know everything he can about everyone.
Shortly after Law's birthday he went with a group to the Helix Station which is still a little in progress but they've gotten the station's portal in some sort of working order, found more information about the Helix Station's history, and will probably end up retrieving a piece of the World Eater's body for the nerds to study. And now he's off to the mines where he will try not to die.
threads: n/a
explore token: yep!
