Activity Check: January 2017

[undergroundmods]

IMPORTANT: Activity check will run from 1st-5th February. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS POST.

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:

<b>Character name</b> | <user name="journalname"> | Level ? <b>Activity links:</b> • <a href="LINKURL">Thread/Post 1 with Character Name</a> (# comments) • <a href="LINKURL">Thread/Post 2 with Character Name</a> (# comments) • <a href="LINKURL">Thread/Post 3 with Character Name</a> (# comments) <b>Additional activity links:</b> • <a href="LINKURL">Thread with Character Name</a> (# comments) • <a href="LINKURL">Thread with Character Name</a> (# comments) • <a href="LINKURL">Thread with Character Name</a> (# comments) <b>Additional comments total:</b> Total number of additional comments submitted. <b>Points carried over from last month:</b> No. of points you have remaining from previous activity checks. <b>Points acquired this month:</b> Convert no. of additional comments into points. Ten comments = 1 point. <b>Request a reward?:</b> If you would like to spend your points on a reward, say so here. You can request multiple rewards if you have enough points. <b>Points total:</b> The total number of points you have remaining (minus any you wish to spend).

This activity check is for the month of January. 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, 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.

IMPORTANT: Unless you are on hiatus RIGHT NOW DURING THE ACTIVITY CHECK, you MUST CHECK IN.

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.

ACTIVITY CHECK ENDS 5TH FEBRUARY AT 18:00 GMT.

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.

Arthur will receive a rabbit's foot! This cursed object grants incredible good luck to its owner as long as they have it in their possession. When (not if, when) lost, their luck will turn incredibly bad to the point that they are likely to die within days unless the rabbit's foot is found and destroyed.

Request a reward?: (6 points) Gain a new ability: Since I talked about him experimenting with anchoring himself to an object in his app, now seems as good a time as any to finally figure it out.
Points total: 19

[undergroundmods]

Could you explain a little bit further about what you'd like his ability to be? The app mentions him enchanting objects with fairly minor qualities, what sort of thing do you envisage him being able to do now?

[falsify]

Ah, my bad. I was thinking of "The well-being of a fae may be tied to an object, place or other living thing, making them impossible to destroy unless said object is destroyed." on the fae page, but looking back at his app that's not what I wrote.

[undergroundmods]

So which ability would you like to have? It could be either, it's up to you.

[falsify]

The latter, if that's okay

[undergroundmods]

Okay! And what thing will Eames' life be tied to?

[falsify]

A hunk of fossilised whitethorn wood! (I don't know if it's a type of tree old enough to have fossils but shhh let's pretend.)

[undergroundmods]

All right! Eames, that whitethorn wood is your new best friend.

[falsify]

Thank you! Time to bury that wood like it's Jumanji

General fail on my part in January means I have to take a strike with Liadan.

You can only submit a maximum of two threads to meet the minimum activity requirements. If you submit your thread with Evie instead, Caroline's additional comments total is 20 which means she acquires 2 points this month.

Your points total is therefore 32.

I don't know if I can actually do it that way? If I don't get additional points that's alright with me.

[undergroundmods]

As you have submitted a post for AC, you also need to submit 1 or 2 threads totalling 5 comments in order to pass AC. Do you have any more activity you can submit?

(The thread with Caroline is included in the post you submitted for AC, so it can't be used as an extra thread or submitted as additional activity.)

[freelife]

dang it, I knew I wasn't going to make it this month.

I'll take a strike, unfortunately.

Congratulations, Daryl's magic has now increased to 1 and he can now speak in animal form! A little bit of fae magic has its perks.

The thread with Eames is from a post dating back to November, which means it can't be submitted as additional activity. Natasha's points total is therefore 44.

Since Joscelin acquired a daylight ring that should cost 6 points this month, I'm afraid he'll have to wait a bit to increase his level! His points total is therefore -2.

Note also that ICly he is likely to encounter some resentment from other vampires who won't be happy at him receiving special treatment from Jean-Claude.

[dredefulchilde]

Got it! That's fine.
