Back!

I return! With a new laptop!

... Yeah, my last one broke so hard it would probably cost more to fix than to replace. So that's what I did. The replacing, I mean.

Words, what are those.
Slow-ness

So, um... A stray lightning bolt struck our servers last week at work. They fried them completely and it's the end of the month time, so it's the busiest portion of my work days. While they're operational again, we've lost a lot of data that needs to be recovered. Since the person working in the other department has no idea how to fix things, that leaves me to do a lot of overseeing her job as well as doing my own. Someone else quit on us and thus we've been in chaos for almost three weeks now. And since dad's the boss.... Guess who gets to put in extra hours off the clock? Me.~

I'm going to be slow this week. I know I have a lot of threads that, uh, are hanging right now too. I'll slowly be getting to those as I have time/the ability/mentality to.

Sorry guys. 8(

I've been holding off on doing this, but I thought it was for the best to get it done now. I started a new job and was enabled last minute to jump on the NaNoWriMo bandwagon, but I won't be hiatusing. Instead I'm dropping some of the characters I'm having more trouble with.

So Soubi and Chad are leaving Marina. I hope you all had fun with them because I did and I WILL finish any and all threads I had going with them. So if you tag me, I'll definitely tag you back. I may bring them back some day in the future, maybe after NaNo is over and I'm more settled into my position.

I'm sorry to all of the players with art class students, I really hope someone picks the class up for you.

Alma, Itachi, Johnny, Josak, and Miranda are still here though! This only affects: [info]hurt_me_ritsuka and [info]ambidextro.

[Activity : October]


1. Activity check!
Next to the link to your tag, there are now three links for you to fill in. This is for you to go and find your own threads.

We want to see threads that you have tagged eight times or more. This is not the total count of comments in the thread; only the comments that you made. That means that the other person also has to have tagged back seven/eight times.

Issue the first: The threads are not finalized until the activity check is over. The AC ends in one full week, on the 7th. That means that if you don't have three qualifying threads, you still have a week to get that activity. You can put the links down that you'll be focusing on and go back to respond to people whose threads you dropped, or ask people to tag back on the threads you didn't drop.

Issue the second: If you don't have three threads of qualifying length, your activity is low. Even if you tagged eighty posts, if you didn't have a medium-length conversation in three of them, that doesn't count. You may justify in the summary why your activity has been spotty, but don't expect much leniency.

Issue the third: All three threads must be on separate posts. Untagged activity does not count toward your activity check. Icon spam counts as one comment.

Comment here with one of these filled out for every character you play.




The purpose of the summary is to remind people what your character has been up to, so that any thoughts about your characterization will come back to them, so be detailed, but not tl;dr. It defeats the point if it's too long to read, or too short to jog memories. We will inform you if your summary isn't sufficient.

All characters who were in the game in October must respond to the activity check, unless you are on total hiatus for the week of the AC.


2. How's my driving?
Respond to other people's comments! Tell them if you think their characterization is right, wrong, just slightly off the mark; tell them if you think they as a player need to work on something, IC or OOC. You don't have to know someone's canon to give them valuable feedback.

Everyone is required to be open to concrit to play here! The mods will take steps if someone is not responding well to crit, provided you can document it.

Anon comments are enabled, IP addresses are not tracked.


3. Have fun!
New kids will be incoming next week!
