CHECK-IN: JANUARY
CHECK-IN: JANUARY
the basics
Hello, players, and welcome to our LAST EVER check-in for January! 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 because well... it's the last one and if you took a strike it wouldn't matter anyway. However, you may still post activity if you wish for a bonus token of some sort.
This activity check will close on Sunday, January 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:
- none!
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 January check-in period, at minimum all that we require is that you check in! Submitting 5 log comments/10 network or TDM comments will give one bonus explore token. You may have only one of each of these tokens at a time; they do not stack.
- SUMMARY: Let us know what your character has been up to this past month! For the January 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, we just want to keep track of what's going on with the characters since we can't read every thread. Blank summaries, or summaries containing no character information will end up with us asking you for one so please don't skip this.
- 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.
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: Kuai Liang
journal:
comments: Just checking in
summary: He spent the month sighing softly as spirits stole all his things and then gently convincing them to give it back as if he's dealing with a bunch of small children. Then he maybe, might have, possibly, left a wish on the tree that Grandmaster Hasashi made it safely back to Earthrealm instead of being trapped in the darkness of Beacon. *ahem* Nothing to see here.

character: Hope / 390-H
journal:
comments: just checking in
summary: Hope is more or less preparing herself for the end. Looking for ways she can be of use in the final confrontation, and wrapping up anything she wants to do. She doesn't exactly expect to survive, but she's kind of taken the "already dead" thing to heart, so she doesn't feel like it's really a change of status.
