Activity Check

Activity Check

Players are required to complete an Activity Check each month for each of their characters, both for moderation and in-character reasons.

Here is everything you need to know:

• HOW TO: To complete your AC for the month, please copy and paste the template from the text box below into a reply to the toplevel comment for that month. AC posts that are not replies to the comment for that month will not be counted and may not even be seen by a mod, as toplevel comments do not ping the notifications of the mod account. If you post a toplevel for your AC, you will be asked to redo it. If you have more than one character, please do a separate AC comment from each character’s journal.
  
  
• STIPENDS: Each time a player turns in AC, their character(s) will receive a stipend at a base rate of 100 Brass per month! However, characters with jobs have an opportunity to earn more and receive extra Brass for activity! (Details in the next paragraph.) If you do not turn in your AC, however, your character will not get any Brass for the month, and you will be placed on Activity Probation. Once submitted and approved, players will be asked to update their Bank Ledger with their new finances! BANK LEDGERS
  
  
• BONUSES: If your character took on a job around town any time before the end of the month, you are eligible to claim bonus AC on threads! Please read the following carefully, as this can get confusing: In order for a thread to qualify, it must have at least 10 tags (ostensibly 5 from you and 5 from a partner) that are dated within the month they're being submitted for. Toplevels do count as one tag. Threads containing multiple players can still count for AC as long as your character participated at least twice. Threads spanning over multiple months can be claimed for each month in which the thread contains 10 or more tags for that month. (ex. if you tag a thread 10 times in March and 10 times in April, you can collect AC for both months). You cannot claim more than 10 threads per month, even if you have more that qualify. You do not need any threads that qualify for bonus in order to pass AC. Laggards (characters without jobs) are not eligible for bonus AC. Base pay for bonus threads is 50 Brass per thread, which increases with Business Upgrades! Level 2 businesses earn 80 Brass per thread and Level 3 businesses earn 100 Brass per thread. Further details are found in the Shop Page.
  
  
• GROCERIES: Each time you submit AC, you will be asked to set aside your characters' grocery budget for the month ahead, which will determine how much money they have to use for food (or another approved form of sustenance for non-eating characters!) and other frequently-purchased essentials. For more info on the perks/drawbacks of each budget, go here and check out the options under "Grocery". We'll also list the prices in the AC form. Laggards (characters without jobs) are given food vouchers and do not need to concern themselves with this!
  
  
• DEADLINE: Activity Check for each month runs for the 1st-7th of the following month. (ex. Activity Check for January opens on February 1st and is due by February 7th at 11:59pm Eastern Time.) Grace periods and extensions can always be offered but only if mods are approached BEFORE the deadline! Any Activity Checks posted after the deadline without an extension will not be counted.
  
  
• REMINDERS: At least two reminders will be posted on our Discord server--- one when AC opens and the other shortly before the deadline. We may post more if necessary. We do not do individual reminders! If you are not in the Discord, please reach out to a mod for a reminder method that works for you and we will gladly accommodate.
  
  
• MISSED CHECKS: If you miss one AC, you will be ICly penalized by your character(s) not receiving a Brass stipend for the month and will be placed on Activity Probation. If you miss a second AC subsequently, you will be swept from the game and need to reapply before continuing to play.
  
  
• HARD MODE: Want to punish your character on purpose? Don’t skip Activity Check! Simply put the word “PASS” in all caps in the space on the form that asks “What did your character do this month?” This will create extra challenge for your character by causing them to miss out on their stipend by forgetting to turn in their survey, without you breaking game rules and risking getting swept. Note that players who elect to pass also cannot collect bonus AC. Passing is not an adequate substitution for a Hiatus.
  
  

That said, here is your Activity Check form! Please copy it and fill it out in a reply to the toplevel for the appropriate month. Please do not leave out the character pronouns section or the orange banner at the top of the form. Only delete text or code from the form if instructed to do so. Thank you!

Job: Miner
Affiliation: None.
Grocery Budget: 50B
•─────⋅🎃⋅─────•
What did your character do this month?: Poor Ripley sat her ass in the audience and watched acquaintances and strangers act out their own worst memories! It was... not a good experience. The popcorn was shit. Seats uncomfortable. She performed herself, even, dawning ORIN's outfit to slay Fever on stage, thus re-awakening a string of long-forgotten memory. They're chatting about it in the Temple, with cats. Oh, and her and CT are being gay again.

Ripley gives Gaeta a pretty rock for his troubles
Ripley and Fever ballet-fun, with Temple aftermath

Grocery Budget: 50B
•─────⋅🎃⋅─────•
What did your character do this month?: What's an easy way to say, put through Hell and back? Our favorite Freelancer Agent, miss Carolina, made her debut on stage in what was essentially a dance rendition of her totally not-messy breakup. She can be spotted in a second performance, playing the role of her totally not-mother, killing CT with a totally not-real tomahawk. Post-performances are spent navigating the halls (with CT) looking for an escape, or submitting to much needed hugs (with Gerry). Is she angry about any of this? Yes. Very. Try not to approach her until she's cooled down. ...Which is to say: never.

Laundry Day with Gerry
The Man Who Cannot Be Shot
The Breakup Ballet
