All of this homework is taking a little longer than expected. I still have an essay and about five thousand work sheets to do for Science. Being sick all the time certainly has its downfalls. [What are its uplifts exactly?]

So...I probably won't be around for quite a while longer. :[ I'm so sad that I'm going to miss the event, but I need to get my yucky grades up...and...this probably means I won't be making the AC either. This displeases me greatly. I promise to have super awesome activity next month, I swear. Next month is Christmas month anyway. xD So there's really no excuse for me. Especially if I get my homework done now. >w<;;

*Bows profusely*

Jack, Ciel and Kaien are forever affected. ;;

*Is also wondering if I can make a placeholder thread because I don't want to miss the event* M-mods?

Yeah, I know Nepeta's already hiatused, but I'm tossing Xion in there, too. I don't even want to list how much shit needs to get done before Tuesday. Hiatusing until then in an attempt to actually get 3.5 this semester. @_@

[Activity : November]

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.

<b>Name:</b> <b>Tag:</b> <a href="http://asylums.insanejournal.com/marinasylum/tag/NAME+HERE">☑</a> | <a href="THREAD ONE">+</a> | <a href="THREAD TWO">+</a> | <a href="THREAD THREE">+</a> <b>What did he/she do in November?:</b> <b>Any plans for him/her?:</b> <b>Secret Santa! What one thing does your character need most that they'd never buy for themselves?</b>


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 November 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!

lol... and just as AC rolls around.

So this probably isn't a surprise to most people. I know I warned about it before, but-- I'm going to be dropping Kobato. I love playing her to death and her CR but I'm going to send this poor little dove home. I've been squating with her recently and I don't want to be inactive with a character I just adore.

I still have Yuuki! So no one needs to worry in regards to her. Maybe some time in the future I will app Kobato again. I'm already considering other characters to possibly try out in the meantime. Thanks for all the fun times and people who played with her though! If for some reason you still want to stalk her or something, I play her at Kiseki so she's still in action somewhere at least.

SHE WILL MISS EVERYONE.

I hate to do this but at this point I feel like I'm character squatting on Naruto. I've enjoyed playing him here and thanks to everyone who took the time to tag him but I have no clue what to do with him. My RL is also becoming increasingly more difficult to balance so I think it's best to lighten my load.

But, I am keeping Charley around so I'm not dropping the game or anything. ^^
