Activity Check: February 2017

[undergroundmods]

IMPORTANT: Activity check will run from 1st-5th March. 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 February. 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 MARCH 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.

Your post is from January and therefore can't be submitted for AC. You can submit individual threads from that post where there are comments from February, but not the post itself. Also, it would be helpful if you could link directly to the relevant threads!

Please could you re-submit your activity? Thanks!

[longterm]

Oh. Sorry. Looking back, I think this is the same issue I had in December. Sorry. It's not deliberate.

I think that means I didn't make AC, but I thought I should post my activity just in case.

No worries, just something to note for future reference! Yes, unfortunately your submitted activity doesn't add up to 12 comments within 3 threads, so Cesare will be taking a strike.

Looks like the East End Pack is strengthening its numbers! Please head over to the Minions post to add your new minions.

Fun Ghoul will also have a new trick up his sleeve: the ability to absorb pain. If he touches the skin of an injured person or anyone who is suffering physical pain, he can take that pain away and suffer it himself. Hurrah! (Is this an ability reward or a curse, you ask? That's up to Ghoul.) The ability only works on physical pain, not emotional or any other kind of trauma. Ghoul will feel it for up to several minutes depending on the severity of the injury. Taking away pain won't stop anyone from dying, it will only ease their suffering before they go. Finally, Ghoul does have to consciously choose to absorb the pain, but he might find himself doing so involuntarily at first before he learns what his ability is and how to control it.

You can only submit a maximum of two threads to meet the minimum AC requirements. If you swap out your links with the two 5-comments threads with Nancy and Mogget, then you pass AC with the same number of additional comments so there's no need to edit your comment, just letting you know for future reference!

[undergroundmods]

Unfortunately since Liadan took a strike last month, that means the character will be dropped this month. You are free to re-apply at any time when you're ready to play the character again. If you do re-apply, Liadan's activity points will be reset so she will start off with 0 points.

Nancy will receive a vial of truth serum (enough for one teaspoon which is a single dose) along with a recipe to make it:

Ingredients
1 part tears of a witch
2 parts raindrops collected in the dark of a new moon
2 parts ethanol
1 part nectar from a white chrysanthemum
1 lynx hair

Instructions
1) Stir the liquids in the right proportion using a wand and utter the preparatory incantation.
2) Leave to mature in a clear glass bowl that contains a hair plucked from a lynx for one full lunar phase. Do not allow temperature to exceed ten degrees Celsius. Do not allow contents to freeze.
3) Remove the lynx hair and utter the final incantation.
4) Leave to stand in a cool dry place for a further two weeks.
5) Pour contents into a vial or potion bottle with a secure stopper. Keep cool; if overheated, some of the liquid may evaporate rendering the potion useless.

The incantations required are also provided.

You can only submit a maximum of two threads to meet the minimum AC requirements. Since none of your two threads add up to 10 comments in total, this means that Micheletto will take a strike, unless you have any other activity to submit?

[excrucior]

Guess I'll have to take a strike this month. Sorry about that.

Activity check is now closed.
