ACTIVITY CHECK

All right guys, it's time for the activity check!

The activity check is just to filter out and remind people about being generally active in the game.

Below is a flow chart depicting how the AC works. If you would prefer the original textual form, you can refer to this link.

❖ requirements
To pass the activity check for the month of January, the entries/threads must date between January 1 through January 31. Entries made on the last day of this month will not count toward this month's activity check but can be used for the upcoming month's. Threads which were started during the last week of the previous month are acceptable so long as a majority of the comments occurred during the current AC and were not used during the previous AC.

All new threads and entries created after the start of the AC will also be counted toward the requirements. If you used a thread from January 1 to January 3 on the December AC, you are not allowed to use it for the January AC.

You must provide links to ONE of the following three options:

1 Entry + 15 comments or more.	2 Entries + 7 comments or more.	20 comments or more.
Entry: Any one (1) entry from either community. Comments: Any two (2) or more threads made in response to other character entries. The total comment count must be at least 15.	Entries: Any two (2) entries from either community. Comments: Any one (1) or more thread made in response to another character's entry. The total comment count must be at least 7.	Comments: Any three (3) or more threads made with at least three completely different characters. The total comment count must be at least 20.
Example: Entry \| Thread (C1) \| Thread (C2)	Example: Entry #1 \| Entry #2 \| Thread	Example: Thread (C1) \| Thread (C2) \| Thread (C3)

ATTENTION! Please note the following:

Entries. Joint entries count as an entry for both characters, as long as both characters are actively responding to the comments and treating it as their own entry.
Comments. The comment count is for your character only. If we require 7 comments, that means 7 comments from you.
Threads. All thread-only links must have at least three (3) comments made by you and in response to another character's entry! Do not link threads made within your own entry. They will not count. Private logs will count as threads for both characters.
Voicemail. Threads in Voicemail entries count as threads, not as individual entries. They can be used as threads even if they are from your own character's voicemail.
2-person closed logs. 2-person closed logs are considered as threads for both players. It will not count as an entry for the player who posted it. This rule does not affect closed logs between 3 or more characters.
Comment spams. Comment spams only count as one comment. So even if it's a 3 part comment chain (1/3, 2/3, 3/3), it only counts as one.

If you have any questions or need any clarification about this, please feel free to ask a mod. Everyone must comment below with one of the above requirements in order to pass the activity check.

❖ AC comment form
Comment to this post using the following template (edit as necessary as we're only providing the template to the first option):

**KEEP YOUR COMMENTS IN ONE THREAD!** This will make it a bit more organized.

❖ final notes
Please do not sit on characters if you don't think you'll be able to play them.

We will make another reminder as well as provide a "Danger List" midway through the week.

AC CHECK ENDS 11:59 PM (CST) January 31. This means you have all through that Thursday to meet the requirements before the AC closes.

If you have any problems, talk to any of us mods (Laena, Mart, and Mei Zhu). We'll be more than happy to work with any issues you may have.

YOU MUST COMMENT WITH LINKS TO THE THREADS FOR YOU TO PASS THE CHECK!
