Activity Check: February

It's time for the activity check! This is just to filter out and remind people to remain active in the game. Please read the following carefully!

You need to provide ONE of the following requirements to pass the activity check for the month of FEBRUARY:

1 Entry + 7 comments. 10 comments.

Entry: One (1) entry from [community profile] dreamnet or open entry [community profile] somarium.

Comments: One (1) or more threads totaling to at least 7 comments.

Comments: Two (2) or more threads totaling to at least 10 comments with at least 2 different characters.


Everything provided on the activity check must be dated from FEBRUARY 1ST to FEBRUARY 28TH only. We will not count any comments made after the end date! Basically, any comments or entries made after this AC post went up will not be counted. So please keep this in mind.

Entries must be made by your character and comments only count toward comments made by your character. Individual threads in an entry by your character cannot be submitted as separate activity. Threads must also reach at least two replies to count as a valid thread for activity.

Please note the following as well:

  • Entries used for AC must have replies to responding comments to be valid. (Entries with no replies can still be counted for AC)
  • Joint entries count as a entry for both characters. Those involved must actively reply for the entry to be considered as valid activity.
  • Backdated threads are only valid if it takes place during the last week of the prior month and if most replies were made on the month of the check.
  • Voicemail threads are considered threads, not entries.
  • Closed logs between two characters will be treated as threads.
  • Subthreads count as one (1) thread (ex: event threads where multiple characters respond to a character's top comment).
  • Comment spams consisting of chains (1/3, 2/3, 3/3) are only considered as 1 comment.

Free Passes. Those who provide double the amount of proofs will receive a free pass. These are "Get Out of Jail Free" cards that are tied to the character. When used, we will hold no strike against you for the month used. At least one link of proof must be given to use the free pass. However, it can't be used to clear an already existing strike and they cannot be used twice in a row. There is a cap of two (2) free passes that a character can have at any given time.

Those who already have a free pass are listed here.

Exemptions. Characters are only exempt from activity check if they were accepted during the month of the check or have entered a hiatus on the official hiatus entry prior to AC or if they have been on hiatus for 3 weeks during the month of AC. Any hiatuses made during the check must still provide activity to pass. If a character has been hiatused for 2 weeks during the month of the check, they will need to submit half-proof of AC.

Exempt. The following journals are exempt from this AC for one of the reasons above:

[personal profile] infernodivider
[personal profile] knightofchanges
[personal profile] seesthebattlefield
[personal profile] principalities
[personal profile] moepanzer

Half-proof of the activity check is as follows:

1 Entry 1 Thread

Entry: One (1) entry from [community profile] somarium or [community profile] dreamnet.

Comments: One (1) thread over 3 comments.


Strikes. The following journals have incurred a strike in the last AC and must pass the check to stay in the game.

[personal profile] crowblood
[personal profile] shiningarmor
[personal profile] substrictus

Remember that you must provide some activity to take a strike.
