The only issue I could potentially see with that is that if you ask for half one month and then the second half the next, you've basically implemented monthly AC's, only with half the requirement of the original. (Unless I'm completely misinterpreting this? It happens a lot.) Granted, that's an option, to have more frequent ACs but with lower requirements but I'm not sure that's what people necessarily want?
I know the AC is meant to be lenient to allow people to deal with life and still be able to enjoy playing here, but sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to have a more frequent AC with lower requirements, if it is keeping the game active that you're worried about. I know it can make things a lot more difficult, but with a two-month AC, it kind of gives you an entire month to slack. While I don't generally do this, I know that I have, in the past, made AC during the first week for Marina, and then kind of slacked the rest of the month in terms of tagging. I really do like the fact that the AC is so lenient and that it gives you two months, but I feel like in terms of boosting game activity, two months may not be the best idea.
If the issue is tagging onto plenty of posts but then having those threads peter out, would it help to poke each other and maybe ask about continuing a thread? You all seem really open to backtagging here (and many of you are speed demons) so it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to get a thread up to 'passing' level. I know that the issue with this is that a lot of you also have a craaaapton of threads, and adding more to the pile is really the last thing you want. Another issues with this is the half-assing and also last-minute-ness (as JL brought up).
All of this is just my two cents and how I view things personally. And I would like to say that seeing as how I was in the game for all of two months, I really don't know what the specific issues Kiseki has with AC, so I may be going down the wrong track with all of these. In which case, ignore me! |D
