Regarding Activity Checks

[alan8or]

It has occurred to me that the issue with the activity checks, as they stand, is that there are some people who have come to post in this activity check whose previous posts were in the LAST activity check. A notable example is Tonaki, who plays Ansem. Ansem is an arguably important character to the plot, and yet he hasn't been around since November. Now, I'm sure Tonaki has a good reason for this, and that's fine and dandy. However, I would like to propose a change to our activity check system, which I saw on another site that I think worked well. I think that for canon and world characters, members should be required to link to a thread that they've actually been active in since the last activity check for each character in order to keep said character.

Just my two cents.

I agree to this. As Code Gorilla says, Ansem is an important character to the plot and Tonaki has done next to nothing getting plots rolling or even role playing as Ansem. The only time that he's ever around is when there's an activity check, and so far as I've been here, that's been the one back in November and the one that's currently going on now.

I do not think that someone that's going to take a four month hiatus deserves a character such as Ansem and that someone who is more readily active should get him.

I like the idea of the recent character activity posting as well that's mentioned. I think it should be incorporated into the world and canon character checks. To me, it's not really fair that someone who has applied for a character just not use it for so long when their acting could be vital to the plot...

This is sorta why I didn't want to send out an e-mail about the activity check, it makes people who don't sign in all the time aware of it and manage to save their character.

I'm thinking that perhaps monthly or bimonthly (1 every 2 months) activity checks.

For this activity check? No, though in the future, yes.

That's how I think of it to say the least.
