Wednesday is Maintenance Day!
Yeah. Somehow, it just seems easier to keep it on Wednesdays.
Not too much to cover this week, so this'll be a quickie.
First, activity checks are almost over, so if you haven't signed in, please do. If you did sign in and are not listed under the 'signed in/safe' header, then IJ ate your comment and you should do it again.
Second, posts/tags. Please please please remember to use the date tag, and please please please remember to put titles. I've had to comment to a couple of people about this, so thank you to the ones who have fixed things up :) Much appreciated.
Third, dropped tags. I'm seeing way, way too many dropped tags. If you're busy IRL and honestly can't drop your partner a note, at least try to get in touch with them as soon as you can so they know to hold the post open for you. If you're the one having the tag dropped on you, please don't hesitate to use the "!dropped" tag for the post -- even if you weren't the one who started the post. I, personally, give it at least a week, but you're welcome to set your own drop point, be it five days, a week, two weeks, whatever.
If you engage in a post, or post an open, we kind of expect some back and forth interaction. Even if it's only a tag every couple of days or whatever pace your RL allows, that's fine, but when it goes untagged for weeks (and we see you tagging elsewhere/in other people's threads) that's just not cool.
We'll evaluate the dropped threads between now and the next check, and if we notice any players consistently dropping all their tags, we may consider amending the activity rules to address this behavior.
If it's a matter of having trouble keeping track of your active threads, you can create a "!player" tag, and stick it on your active posts. Then you just click the "!yournamehere" tag to bring up your posts. That way, even if notifs fail, you have a backup system in place.
Fourth, the plot timeline. I swapped around the Ice Bears and the Calla/Thunderclap Wolves, because the bears can theoretically do more damage to the hotel, and we can use the wolves for an actual kidnapping plot to involve a rescue mission rather than simply an assault on the (new) hotel. So that puts the move between the two events, and I think it makes more sense.
The plot timeline's done through the end of the year, though nothing's set in stone as far as sequence of events go, but we will inform you of any changes before they happen.
Okay, think that's about it for now. Questions and the like can be sent my way, as can opinions, suggestions, ideas, comments, concrit, and especially praise ;)
