discord chat - new invite!

[a_shadow]

I recently learned how to make an invite for the Discord server that doesn't expire, so I wanted to post that here to the OOC comm for anyone who still hasn't joined! If you're unfamiliar with Discord, it's basically a chat client that is replacing AIM and Skype for a lot of people. It's still in beta but it's growing in popularity, especially for gamers, but also gaining traction among DWRP. It combines some of the best features of these chat clients, plus it's less resource-heavy on the computer than Skype, and it has an in-browser option. Also like AIM and Skype, the voice option is completely optional.

Our Discord server has chats for several topics, including plotting and cr requests. Please feel free to join and chat away on there!

Here's the invite code: https://discord.gg/AtxxPkB

activity check

Our next activity check is up! It will run from August 1st to August 8th, and all characters are required to submit AC (current characters) or check in (newly accepted characters). The requirements for making activity are rather easy-going. We only need to see one proof of activity from the list below in order to keep your place in the game:

5 log comments
10 network comments
15 IC inbox comments**

or

1 open network or open log post

If you use an old thread from a previous month as proof of activity, it must be the close to the required AC length with the additional requirement of a new thread started in the current activity month with 5 network comments or 2 log comments. This is to encourage new and on-going CR between characters.

Bonus Activity: Three proofs of activity equal one increase in rank. Regular activity does not count toward your bonus activity. There is a limit of four extra ranks a month. All bonus activity threads have to come from the month that the activity check pertains to (if the check goes up during the beginning of February, all threads must be from the previous month, January).

Comments can come from any number of threads. For example, 3 network comments from your character in one thread and 7 from your character in another equal one network comments proof. The same goes for log and IC inbox comments. Ranks may be traded in on the Restore page and come with a privilege/gift each month.

If you are having trouble fulfilling AC, please don't hesitate to contact a mod. For hiatuses: if the hiatus is between 1-2 weeks, AC will be half of the current requirements, and your character will have been in medbay for the duration of the hiatus. If the hiatus is more than 2 weeks, AC is waived, and your character is placed in cryo, which negates your rank for that month. Anything less than 1 full week will still be required to provide full AC. If you were on hiatus at any point, you still need to respond to the check.

Your character's new rank will be noted in the Mod reply to your AC comment.


** IC inbox threads used for activity can only be used every other check.

AC FORM:
<b>Player</b>: (Handle or name you go by) <b>Character</b>: NAME <user name=NAME> <b>Rank</b>: (Current Rank; new characters please put N/A) <b>Activity</b>: (link to required monthly activity) <b>Bonus Activity</b>: <a href=LINK>TYPE OF PROOF (LOG, NETWORK, etc.)</a> (Number of Comments or Entire Proof) ( Example: <a href=www.loglink.com>LOG</a> (7) ) ( Example: <a href=www.networkpostlink.com>NETWORK POST</a> (Entire Proof) )
