CHECK-IN: DECEMBER

CHECK-IN: DECEMBER

the basics

Hello, players, and welcome to our check-in for December! Our AC is self-reporting, meaning that all players must comment to this post, even if you have a hiatus. The one exception to this is if you're on a hiatus through the entire duration of the AC period. This month we only require a check-in due to the holidays. However, you may still post activity if you wish for a bonus token of some sort, or if you have a strike and wish to clear a month of it. Checking in this month does not count toward clearing a strike.

This activity check will close on Monday, January 4 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:

• none!

The following players have taken a strike within the past two months and must make full AC in November-December/January or December/January-February:

• Molly (Hope / 390-H)


• Del (Reiju)


• Leu (Will Ingram)


• Celen (Law Trafalgar)

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 December check-in period, at minimum all that we require is that you check in! However, if you would like to work toward clearing an existing strike 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 currently have a strike you do not need to attempt to clear it this month and may instead check in for December and post AC in January.



• SUMMARY: Let us know what your character has been up to this past month! For the December 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 OR an AC pass token. You may have only one of each of these tokens at a time; they do not stack. We 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 logsinthenight or networkinthenight communities may be used for AC, as well as threads that take place in characters' personal inboxes or on the TDM for the month. You may also opt to link an explore thread your character was involved in. Please note that TDM and explore threads will always count as network threads for the purposes of AC, regardless of their content.



• 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.
