Activity Check - February 2021

✦ Activity Check: February, 2021 ✦
... And when my good dream came to an end, I woke up more than ready to bend ... Full Game Navigation
AC Duration


Welcome to Tramitem's Activity Check for the month of February, 2021.


The monthly activity check will be open until 11:59 pm EST on the 7th of March.

All players must post to AC to report their character's monthly activity or to take a strike, unless the player has an active hiatus excusing them from the AC or their character meets one of the exemptions below.

Don't Panic! - Just read through carefully. If you have questions, ask the mods. It's okay if all you want to do is submit only Basic AC. You got this!


AC Exemptions

The following are exempt from AC:

  • Characters who were accepted during the month of February. Please be sure to still comment below to check in as a Roll Call. Use the form title "Easiest Form - Basic AC/Roll Call/Strike Removal" listed below. Responding to the simple Roll Call will automatically earn a character 4 pts.
  • Characters who were covered by a posted hiatus for at least 16 days out of the AC period.
  • Players with reasonable cause to ask for an exemption. Please contact the mods to let us know what these circumstances are and we will work with you.


Basic AC and Strike Removal

All other characters/players who don't have an AC exemption must respond to the AC by submitting proof of minimum activity. This is also the time to remove strikes, if a player has one. Submitting Basic AC will automatically earn a character 4 pts.

There will be no warning list posted after AC closes. Characters will be swept if they don’t check in or post AC, and will have to reapp to the game to resume play.

BASIC ACTIVITY CHECK - 4 pts:
Players must submit one of the following for Basic AC: one (1) Network/Comm subthread, OR one (1) Log subthread.

Links for the Basic AC/Strike Removal must be from February, all minimum required comments must be from February, and they must also meet the following criteria:

Network/Comm Sub-thread
  • These can be a sub-thread on your character’s own network/comm posts or a tag-in to another character’s network/comm post
  • The subthread must have five (5) comments minimum from your character. If the link is to your character’s own post, the post start will count as the first comment
Log Sub-thread
  • These can be a sub-thread on your character’s own log posts or a tag-in to another character’s log post
  • The subthread must have five (5) comments minimum from your character. If the link is to your character’s own post, the post start will count as the first comment
  • A log composed in gdocs and then posted to a game community will count under this option – either completed, or, if incomplete, it shows meaningful engagement from your character. They must be posted to a game community to count.
  • A subthread under your character's top-levels on an Event/Massive Group Catch-All Logs can count for this option.
~*~
Your Character’s Whole Post (Network/Comm/Log)
  • Players can use this option if they have no singular sub-thread on a post for their character with a minimum of five (5) comments
  • At a minimum, your character must address/engage every top-level comment in some way.
  • A character's whole top-level on an Event/Massive Group Catch-All Logs can count for this option.

STRIKE REMOVAL - 0 pts:
Characters who don't meet the minimum AC requirements will receive a strike. Characters who have to take a Strike, or have non-removed existing Strikes will not be able to earn points until the strike is removed.

To remove a strike, players must submit twice the usual AC in one month. Links used must meet the criteria set out above. The link used for the Strike Removal will earn no points.


Additional Activity and Bonus Point Options

During the Activity Check is the time to list your extra activity to earn additional points. The following two sections explain the various ways to earn more points for additional activity or certain kinds of activity.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY - Points Variable:
Links for Additional Activity must be from February and all minimum required comments must be from February, the links submitted must meet the following criterial:

  • At a minimum, your character must address/engage every top-level comment in some way.
  • Top-levels on Event/Large Group threads will count under this option
  • A log composed in gdocs will count under this option – either completed, or, if incomplete, it shows meaningful engagement from your character. They must be posted to a game community to count. (All players involved in this kind of post can claim points under this option.)
  • Players can submit up to three (3) links total for this option

    • BONUS POINTS OPTIONS - Points Variable:

    • Players can submit up to three (3) links total for this option.


    Activity Forms and Form Example

    To make things easiest for players, we've provided a few different versions of the Activity Form. Players do not need to try for additional points, it is perfectly acceptable to just submit Basic AC for their character(s). If players would like to submit additional links for additional points, they are encouraged to do so. To the right of the form options, we provide an example of what the Full AC Form will look like.

    Players can post all of their characters in one comment. But please be kind to the mods and delete the code you don't need.
