ACTIVITY CHECK: JANUARY 2023

It's time for the monthly Activity Check!

FOR THE BITE-SIZED STORIES LOG we'd request players who participated to include in the Extra Note section any prompts with the short stories they did. Completed threads are NOT required; feel free to note anything ongoing or even handwave. Reminder that the submitted threads will help affect how the Book will be designed.

Please refer to the Activity Check section in our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:

• Only threads dated from January 1st through January 31st will count. (Exception: certain backdated threads, TDM threads, read the sections for more details.)
  
  
• You must provide 2 threads of at least 5 comments each. The comment count is from your character. This means it must be some combination of 5+5. Not 6+4 or 2+8.
  
  
• Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count.
  
  
• Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. Please link both separately so we don't get confused.
  
  
• Backdated threads can be counted so long as they 1) start in the previous month, 2) the majority of the comments are in the current AC month, and 3) were not used for the previous month.
  
  
• Test Drive threads will count, however we have a one TDM thread limit. Because our TDM is bimonthly, only the December TDM will count for this AC. You cannot use the same thread from the previous AC.
  
  
• You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.
  
  
• As a reminder to those who received a special free AC pass back in December 2022. If you plan to use it, unless there is an extreme personal emergency, we will not allow a hiatus exemption before or after the month of using the pass. This is so we don't get a weird case of { Hiatus > Free Pass } or { Free Pass > Hiatus } or { Hiatus > Free Pass > Hiatus } scenarios as that would effectively allow a player to skip two to three ACs in a row and we do not want that.

• Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.

There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Tuesday, January 31st 11:59PM US Central.

If you have any questions, ask them here.

BONUS INQUIRIES

This is not required and completely optional, but included in the AC submission form is a field to allow players to note any special incidents, encounters, or discoveries that occurred in their threads. So if a character found some creature or a location, you are welcome to include it so we can add it to the setting. You are also free to comment for other submissions on the World Directory.

You can also make quest requests to be included in the upcoming Dream Boards. If possible we'll add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board. If you don't have one in mind, you can post it later to the upcoming Mod Announcement.

THE FORM

Fill out the following form and comment directly to this post. If you have multiple characters, please put them in one comment.

<b>Player:</b> Name <b>Character:</b> Character | journalname <b>Thread #1:</b> <a href="THREADURL">Date</a> <b>Thread #2:</b> <a href="THREADURL">Date</a> <b>Extra Note:</b> OPTIONAL can delete if not used. Any incidents, encounters, or discoveries made by the character can be included here. Blurbs are fine, links to threads optional but helpful for reference. Use this section to note any threads involving the short stories in the Bite-Sized Stories log. Completed threads not required and can handwave outcomes or activity. Linked threads optional but not required. <b>Quest Request:</b> OPTIONAL can delete if not used. If you have any quests for us to add to the Dream Board, be it generic or specific, dump it here! We'll try to add it to the upcoming one, if not we'll save it for the future.
