Activity
ACTIVITY CHECK RULES
Changed is going to be trying something a little bit different from the standard methods of DW roleplay, which means we are going to be changing aspects of it here and there over the first few months. But, on the whole, we're aiming for it to work like this:
there will be no set, monthly time for activity check. activity check will be done randomly, meaning it might be only once every two months, or as many times as twice a month. BUT, all that will be required to pass activity will be ONE post or TEN replies (from any number of threads) to any IC comm within the last TWO WEEKS. generally, more than that is better, but that is the minimum requirement for a pass. for a post/reply to be valid for activity check, it must be within a thread STARTED within the two week period for which that Activity Check is being held. if you end up failing activity due to poor circumstance or luck and you want to keep playing, then you can make an APPEAL to the mods.
MAKING AN APPEAL
If you've failed activity check but believe you should continue playing, you can make an appeal to the mods by doing one of the following:
1) show the mods two larger activity samples (15+ comments by your character) that have been made over the last month.
2) explain whatever bad circumstances have hampered you and ask for another try.
Appeals will always come down to mod judgement, and whether or not they're acceptable will depend on past activity. Remember rule number two. Changed takes availability seriously, but the point is to have fun, so we will do our best to be understanding.
HIATUSES
Hiatuses may only last for up to TWO WEEKS at a time. Hiatuses may very well end up extending beyond that due to personal circumstances, but you will have to check back every two weeks to tell us that you need more time.
Unless you are going to be in a circumstance where computer access will be spotty or non-existent, in which case please talk to a mod about working out a longer absence! We will work something out.
As an important IC note: generally speaking, your character WILL NOT go back to sleep in way of hiatus explanation unless your projected hiatus is going to be especially long. The default hiatus explanation is your character going on autopilot or getting lost in the house somewhere. Believe us, there are a lot of places to get lost.
IF YOU ARE GOING ON A HIATUS, COMMENT TO THIS POST WITH THE FOLLOWING, WITH 'HIATUS' IN THE SUBJECT LINE:
DROPPING
Obviously, you can drop whenever you want. There are no rules for dropping.
IF YOU ARE DROPPING, COMMENT TO THIS POST WITH THIS STUFF, WITH 'DROP' IN THE SUBJECT LINE:
