Do you know what time it is, Posteritas? It's activity check time!
...yeah, that's really not a happy thing deserving of exclamation points. BUT the House Points tally IS, so! All entries, comments, threads, owls, and so on as of this posting have been included in the check! I'm going to hide the results behind cuts for a teensy little bit of suspense.
The following characters have failed the activity check. They have until Friday, August 6 at Midnight GMT to meet the requirements or they will be removed from the game.
When doing the check, I used our tag system. Therefore, it's entirely plausible that I could've missed a thread somewhere (or a journal entry, I'm not perfect). If your character actually did pass the check and I am mentally deficient, reply to this post with a link to the thread/entry or send it in a PM or an IM or an e-mail or, you know, however, and we'll get them off post-haste. :D
While doing the activity check, I looked to see which characters had contact pages. Remember, a contact page is a non-friends-locked post by which people not in the game (or in the game, whatever) can contact you for plot. The following characters need contact pages. There is no penalty for not having one at this time, this is just a friendly reminder./bolds EVERYTHING

Once again, if I missed your contact page (or if you post one after seeing your character's name on this list), just comment here or drop me a link some other way, and I'll take the name off. :D
We have yet to decide for sure if we like this House Point system. You guys are ridiculous(ly good) on activity. Which is amazing but results in some houses earning in a month more than they earned all year in the books.
SO what we might do with these tallies is actually assign points on the Daily Events page via placements--100 House Points for first place, 75 House Points for second place, 50 House Points for third place, and 25 House Points for fourth place. OR we could just end up with ridiculous numbers of House Points. Either way. Opinions on this would be awesome! :D
One more thing--since characters brought into the game since 7/20 cannot fail the check, all of their activity counts for bonus points. Woohoo!
PS - We mentioned that 10 points will be subtracted for characters who fail the activity check. This will happen after the 6th.
Aaaaand because we like cool things, some special acknowledgements!
