Activity Check: August 2016
Here's your monthly activity check! Please read this post carefully, then complete the form below and comment to this post to stay in the game:
This activity check is for the month of August. All the activity that you submit to go towards the minimum activity requirements or activity rewards must have been posted in that month. The game operates on a UK timezone i.e. GMT+1, so please check to make sure that your submitted activity falls within the right month in this timezone.
If you are currently on hiatus, you do not need to check in. Everyone else should check in. If you have been on hiatus for two weeks or more during the past month, you must still check in but you do not need to submit any activity proofs.
Anyone who does not comment to this post to check in on time will be removed from the game.
Activity Requirements
Activity check runs from the 1st-5th of every month. The minimum activity requirements vary depending on your character's rank. They are as follows:
Levels 1-2
One post from you with at least five comments from you.
OR
Ten comments across 1-2 threads where you tagged someone else's post.
Levels 3-4
One post from you with at least five comments from you and five comments across 1-2 threads in other posts.
OR
Twelve comments across 2-3 threads where you tagged someone else's post. Must submit a minimum of 2 threads.
Level 5
One post from you with at least five comments from you and eight comments across 2-3 threads in other posts. Must submit a minimum of 2 threads.
OR
Fifteen comments across 3-4 threads where you tagged someone else's post. Must submit a minimum of 3 threads.
• All activity submitted must be from the relevant month i.e. the month before each activity check. The month is measured according to UK time.
• You can link to threads that include comments from the previous or next month, as long as you only count comments within that thread from the current month.
• You can submit thread comments and comments from posts made by you that were originally started in the month before the AC period, but no older than that. For example, for an August activity check, you could submit comments from a thread that had been started in July, and count the comments from that thread that were made in August. You could not submit comments from a thread that started in June, even if that thread did include comments from August.
• Comments do not have to be evenly spread between threads. You could submit two threads of 7 and 3 comments respectively, and this would add up to your 10 comment total.
• The comment count applies only to comments posted by you. For example, a thread of 20 comments in which Player A posted 10 comments and Player B posted 10 comments, could be submitted by each player as a count of 10 comments.
• Text messages, phone calls and other network-style posts and comments cannot be counted towards AC.
• If you play a character at level 2 or above, your character will go down one level if you do not obtain any activity points for two months in a row. This includes being excused for hiatus or taking a strike.
Activity Rewards
After meeting the minimum activity requirements, you can also submit additional activity in exchange for points, which you can spend on rewards. Check out the Activity Rewards for the list of rewards you can claim.
Ten comments = 1 point
These ten comments do not have to be in the same thread, they can be from any number of threads. Any extra comments that don't add up to ten won't get you anything. For example, if you have 15 additional comments beyond the minimum activity requirements, this would net you 1 point. If you have 20 additional comments, this would net you 2 points. If you have 29 additional comments, this would still net you 2 points, as the extra nine comments aren't enough to reach one more point.
• You must pass the minimum activity requirements first. Posts and threads that you submit for AC cannot be used to exchange for points, even if they go beyond the minimum activity requirement. Nor can you claim any points if you are on hiatus, just checking in or you fail the activity check. The rewards system is for additional activity only.
• For any posts that you didn't use for AC, you can count your starter post as one comment.
• You can only count comments that are posted by you. Comment spamming (i.e. posting multiple responses to a single comment) only counts as one reply.
• Text messages, phone calls and other network-style posts and comments cannot be exchanged for points.
• Comments must be posted within the AC period i.e. the month before each activity check. You can submit thread comments and comments from posts made by you that were originally started in the month before the AC period, but no older than that. For example, for an August activity check, you could submit comments from a thread that had been started in July, and count the comments from that thread that were made in August. You could not submit comments from a thread that started in June, even if that thread did include comments from August.
• The maximum number of points you can claim at each activity check is 15.
• You can save up points from previous activity checks. So if you received 2 points in one month, you could save these and gain an additional 2 points in the next month, for a total of 4 points.
• There may be some instances where points will not be awarded e.g. if a player's activity consists only of threads between themselves and one other player, or if the submitted activity consists of very short threads that have all been dropped. This will be decided according to mod discretion. Please don't try to game the system.
If you check in late, you will receive a strike, so make sure you check in on time! As always, feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Request a reward?: Am I able to spend 3 points to maintain my current level 2? Or should I wait until next month and promote him from 1 to 2 again?
Points total: 27 or 30, pending level
no subject
Nb. Note that he will still need to make extra activity next month in order to maintain his level, or you'll need to spend extra points again.
no subject
To my understanding: by failing to make extra activity this month, Kyle should be demoted from level 2 to level 1. I am requesting to use 3 points immediately to upgrade him from level 1 to level 2 again, which would theoretically reset my need to make additional ac. Unless you're saying this month already counts as one of the months of no additional activity points (in the "your character will go down one level if you do not obtain any activity points for two months in a row" rule). If that's the case, then please just leave Kyle at level 1.

Somehow when I was doing my initial count I had thought that one of my 3 comment threads was actually 4, and thus I'm not certain that I have the base AC. I decided to put together this comment as it would have been if it HAD had the corret amount of comments, in case for some reason I missed something, and to demonstrate that I do have activity with JC, it's just too spread out to apply to the three thread minimum. I am disappointed in myself but I accept that this is probably a strike.
