ACTIVITY CHECK ➜ JUNE

From now on, Activity Check will run through the last week of the month. There are several reasons for this:

➜ Because AC used to run through the first week, it meant that apps were closed as AC closed. This left houses sparse and kept people from apping dropped character for a whole month. With AC at the last of the month, during reserves, it means that those who have been swept are eligible to be apped in. This increases character turn over, especially for popular characters, and can dispel squatting. There will be a rule that those swept during AC may not immediately app back in.

➜ It will also help with the application cycle in general. Instead of waiting to accept apps until I sweep characters and see what housing slots need to be filled via priority, this eliminates that all together and means late-in apps can be dealt with faster instead of waiting until apps have closed.

I think that this will make it both easier on me, new applicants, and will increase the character flow and activity. Because of these changes, here is how AC will work this time around:

➜ It's a simple check in. Simply reply with your characters journals in written format. No activity is required to be posted this time around, simply the journal name. This alerts me that you're still interested and that you know of the changes.

➜ For this round only, AC will last for two weeks. That means if you're not expecting AC until July 1st, then you'll be okay. This also means the full effect of these changes will hit next AC.

➜ Strikes from the previous month will roll over into July.

Thank you!
