July Activity Check + HMD

[godsoffortune]

Welcome to another Activity Check + HMD!


The AC will run from July 25 through Aug 1 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 July in order to count. That means anything from July 1st through July 31st 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.

(Log #2 only counts as five comments if you include the top level currently, which I think counts. But it may have more before AC is over anyway, in which case I won't even need this postscript.)

While I enjoy the setting and the CR is always interesting and entertaining, I can't help but notice that things are tended to slowly. There are lists and things that need updating, links that need to be swapped. Regains, requests, notices that should only take a few moments of consideration for approval or denial seem to take much longer than they should. Which leads to stalling and holding up game play because people are left waiting for said approvals.

The plots have also have been feeling rather clichèd. There's nothing really special about them that makes them stand out as an event, and they read as if they only took a short time to write without being re-read for errors. Combined with the failure to respond to requests in a timely manner has left me and some others feeling like the mods do not care about the game enough to do their basic duties of modding, and when they do, it does not seem to be neither non-biased nor efficient. It's a big problem in this game, and is slowly killing it. I worry the game won't last that much longer if some of these issues aren't addressed.
