i agree. potential applicants shouldn't be a concern for current players. it makes it seem like the existing playerbase is replaceable if they don't perform up to standard and adds unnecessary pressure in a game that was meant to be no AC.
i understand the desire to prevent squatting and i wholeheartedly support it, but i think it's far too early to start assuming that players will squat the very first month into the game. it should be a concern that's addressed over time if and when a pattern noticeably emerges for a given player/character. i feel like it's more important to foster a positive relationship with existing players and prioritize their needs above those who aren't even in the game. right now, it seems like there is a lack of trust in players to be active for the long term when we're all still new and acclimating to the game setting. one of the appeals to a no activity check game is not having to worry about comment count and meeting stringent requirements, especially when RL gets busy or unexpected difficulties arises.
i'm totally ok with it if that doesn't align with the vision and expectations for this game. however, A seems too ambiguous to me as a result. it feels like there are requirements to it but without the clarity and validity of a number count, so i'm voting for C.
i'd also like to suggest implementing the poll in a locked post to the community instead of a plurk since i feel like this matter should only concern the players who're currently in game rather than open it to the public as a whole.
+1
