activity check: february

[savmods]

After reviewing the comments and effect of last month's trial, the modteam is pleased to announce that we'll be moving forward with the AC Savior system in this and future ACs. Going forward, these posts will contain a summary of the rules and process, in addition to the monthly list and AC rewards. In order to provide as much information as possible for new players without crowding every month's post, we've gone ahead and created an Activity System page that goes into more detail.

If there are any questions, concerns, or points we can clarify, feel free to comment: either here or at the link!

Rules & Tallying

Any of the following counts consists of a single proof, and fulfills base activity requirements for a month:

• 5 comments from your character in a log
  
• 10 comments in a network thread
  
• 15 comments from an IC inbox thread
  
• 1 open network post, log post, or open starter in an event log

Under Thisavrou's system, the mods use the AC Savior program to tally up the comment counts in both comms. By entering it into a spreadsheet, we can calculate quickly how many proofs each character has, and convert it to bonus AC as applicable. That said, the app is tailored for DWRP at large, not our game, and has difficulty counting IC inboxes, starters, and posts in a way that matches our requirements.

This is where you come in! If you have uncounted activity you want to be applied to your character, please comment to the Extra Activity header with the necessary proofs. This is required of those on the check-in list, but optional for others (if they believe their untallied activity would place them in a higher bonus category). To reiterate: characters on the check-in list are required to comment with either activity or a strike request, or they will be auto-dropped from the game.

While accurate for what it does count, the program only searches so far, and entry errors can occur on the mod side. If you think your character has been incorrectly listed, absolutely don't hesitate to let us know.

If attempting your own tallies, please keep in mind:

• Tags must be OOCly from the month AC pertains to. Backtags are fine.
  
• No double-counting is allowed. Players may count either a single proof from an open starter or post, or the value of however many tags the threads include.
  
• If a hiatus is between 1-2 weeks, AC requirements are halved. If the hiatus is more than 2 weeks, AC requirements are waived completely. Whether hiatused or not, all players are required to check the lists, and comment if they are on the check-in list.
  
• New characters are not subject to the activity check posted during the month they arrive.

For more information on how the system works, feel free to check out the more detailed writeup. If a player has trouble fulfilling AC, we encourage them to reach out to the modteam.

Lists & Bonus

For each three additional proofs (up to a maximum of nine), characters are granted an option for a bonus reward. This results in three levels of reward options in addition to base AC. Below is the list of characters qualifying—by our app-aided tally—for each level of bonus reward.

Check-In	Base AC	First	Second	Third
Ellie Laura Kinney [drop] Leia Organa Lúcio Peter Parker Reaper Sam Flynn Spinister Varric Tethras [drop]	Ana Amari Asriel Dreamurr Big Sister Carolina Chloe Frazer Clu Elizabeth Dewitt Hunk James Buchanan Barnes Jughead Jones King Alfor Laura Natasha Romanoff Nathan Drake (CRAU) Nihlus Kryik Nova Barnett Pepper Potts Pidge Gunderson Pietro Maximoff Tetora Nishizono Tony Stark Vetra Nyx York	Alan Bradley Calla Capella Elena Fisher Ginko Kevin Flynn Kurt Wagner Kylo Ren Lena Oxton Marian Hawke Naomi Kimishima Nill Siegfried The Twelfth Doctor	Beverly Marsh Bill Denbrough Buffy Summers Frisk Rey Sombra Wanda Maximoff	Agent Washington Amélie "Widowmaker" LaCroix Badou Nails Cayde-6 Chara Clara Oswald Commander Shepard Darin Altway Diana Prince Eddie Kaspbrak Erik Lehnsherr Inquisitor Lavellan Kelly Ann Mason Nathan Drake Padmé Amidala Princess Allura Ram Richie Tozier Rinzler Rogue Shiro Sideswipe Soldier: 76 Yori

Players of characters on the check-in list are required to comment below or have their characters auto-dropped in seven days. Players wanting to add uncounted AC or who feel a count was in error are also welcome! This month, bonus activity will be eligible for the following rewards:

First (3 proofs):

While scrap metal is relatively plentiful around Avagi, your character has come across an especially well-shaped piece. This crowbar can be used for all your door-opening or blunt weapon needs.

Second (6 proofs):

In post-flood cleanup over the course of last month, a couple new storage closets were discovered. You had the luck to turn up a rebreather. Equipped with enough oxygen to last a grown human 18 hours, this device could be a lifesaver in a rough spot.

Third (9 proofs):

Xenobiology is an underappreciated field—but today, you personally have made contributions. A glint of light in a dim room tipped you off to a new instance of Avagian fauna. These glowing worms are very shy, and regurgitate a foam that degrades plastics: which are promptly made into a tasty snack. On the up side, you can harvest a handful for recycling, lockpicking, or nightlight purposes. Less useful? Whatever you found them consuming.

Please note: the reward system operates on a choose one basis. A player whose character qualifies for reward level three may select their reward from any of the above options, but no character should receive multiple rewards. This is to prevent IC wealth buildups for OOC reasons, and to allow us to offer more interesting options without skewing game opportunities toward the most active tier.

Extra Activity

[savmods]

For adding inboxes, top-levels, or other AC not included in the mod tally. Note that players who have made the activity requirements are in no way required to comment; this is only if you would like to request a change in your character's result.

Players on the check-in list are required to comment here: with the required activity if they have it, or a strike request if they don't. If a character does neither and did not have base AC, they will be auto-dropped from the game on February 8.
