Hey all,
The month of December can be particularly cruel to everyone, and the site as a whole tends to slow down to a limped crawl. During this time activity checks fall to the wayside to allow people to enjoy the holidays and not be put under pressure to perform, especially when their minds and hearts simply are not in for the task. However, the holidays are over, and a new year has begun, and with it comes a revamped kick on tracking down Activity and watching characters.
I have been appointed the task of keeping an eye on everyone's posts, and tallying them up in a large spreadsheet to make sure that the requirements of the site are being upheld. Each post is met with a colored notch on the graph, while missing a slot is a different hue, etc etc. I am going to be very analytical with this, looking at cold hard numbers and how colors pan out over the coming months to see if there are any undesirable trends in the long run.
But this doesn't mean that I am unreasonable!
Things happen, stuff goes wrong. Missing out on an AC isn't going to be a problem. I know I foresee myself in the future missing out on some, as it is just something that happens occasionally to even the most resolute of Role-Players. This said, if someone's upcoming months for this year are a sea of grey ((notifications of being away)) and Yellows ((No Posts for one or two weeks depending on if it is a show canon or not)) Than we may have a tiny chat, for someone really shouldn’t be missing for half the year and coasting the Away Thread.
Every Friday at midnight Arizona time will be the cutoff for posts for the previous week. As such, as the first two week marker is coming to a close, and the next chunk is about to commence, I am giving everyone this heads up so that they know what is going down with activity and the new way it will be marked. If your hiatus or away is still in effect from the previous year? Be sure to post once more in the Away Thread to refresh it, or PM me directly with an updated status.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a holler.
