November Activity Check + HMD !

[godsoffortune]

Welcome to another Activity Check + HMD!


The AC will run from November 23 through December 1st ending at MIDNIGHT EST. If that's confusing for you, just look here.

In order to pass AC, you will have to provide TWO proofs of your activity. What counts as a proof of activity? Simple! Any one or more network threads consisting of ten (10) or more comments from your character OR one or more log threads consisting of five (5) or more comments from your character. To make AC easier for you, we've created a nice little flowchart for you to follow. Remember, comments must be from November in order to count. That means anything from November 1 through November 30th will count towards AC.

There is now an additional requirement to passing AC!

Everyone is sent an approval email when their application is approved! We now require you do ALL of the following items from your approval email as part of your first month's AC with a new character.

1) Reply to the mod approval e-mail with the username that you will be using

2) Request to join these communities: thenearshore, thefarshore, takamagahara New characters will not be granted access to the comms without having completed step #1

3) Fill out these forms and post them on your journal: permissions, god/shinki info

4) Make an inbox for your character and post it to your journal

5) Your application is posted on your journal as well

6) Reply to the Taken Character and God/Shinki Info pages, as well as the Tag Request post

Please copy the appropriate code, fill out the necessary information, and paste it in a reply to this post.

I'm going to +1 the request for a better time ratio. It is so easy to lose track of time with the 3:1 ratio and so hard to actually do anything because why bother? It'll still be September in two months, you can do it then. I pretty much have to completely ignore the time ratio for CR because otherwise nothing gets done. (Example: when Leo and Niles were at odds, ICly that was only maybe a two months? OOCly it was six or close to it. That is an absurd amount of time to drag on that sort of character angst, but ICly it was almost too short.)

I honestly don't understand how a 3:1 or 2:1 or really any ratio helps anyone, but I understand that may just be me. Needless to say, Iwould personally prefer a 1:1 ratio with some heavenly time shenans to boot us to the correct month, but I understand if 2:1 is as far as the mods want to go because correcting the timeline would be a bit convoluted.

As someone that dislikes 1:1 games, I can share how it helps me.

The biggest draw for a game with a slower ratio for me is that it's less stressful. In 1:1 games, it feels like there's never enough time to plot or play out important character development as fully or deeply as I would like to. There's a lot more pressure to come up with plots, responses, answers, etc, on the spot regardless of what life is throwing at me at that particular moment. If this demands that I have to take a hiatus within the game's guidelines, there's more to catch up on when I come back which is time I could spend playing instead. I also find it easier to be much more creative in slower paced games because I have more time to think things out more clearly and thoroughly so they go off more smoothly in play.

Different players (and the mods, too) mentally process things at different speeds for a variety of factors and I think it's important to accommodate that variety.

That said, I like the 3:1 pace more often than not though I understand how some players can find it frustrating or limiting. But I think if it's feasible at all and doesn't interfere too much with current maintenance tasks, 2:1 would be a compromise worth trying if the mods feel up to it.

I'd recommend that if this is a option, the mod team takes a poll first to get a clearer picture of what the playerbase as a whole needs and wants.

(I have some activity for all of them, but am stressed about getting it gathered up and whether or not it's enough. This month has been hard as far as being able to focus on tags when I've been trying to make ends meet IRL, but I'm starting a decent-paying regular job in a week, so I should be less stressed about feeling like I should be Doing Something More Important and more able to actually focus on tags, hopefully!)
