ANNOUNCEMENTS

Good day, dear Restless! As always, we aim to adjust and improve Nightfell whenever possible, which is why we'd like to run a poll by you regarding the future of the game's AC. Now that our first round is over, we realize just how intangible and confusing the requirements may seem to be, and it's a fine line to walk for everyone. To remedy this, we've decided to ask you what you think and what kind of system you'd prefer for the next rounds.

Because Plurk is limited as far as options and characters go, we'll detail the answers here. Feel free to vote on Plurk, reply to this post, or both!

A.

► We keep the same system, but clarify the guidelines:

A brief summary of what your character has been up to that doesn't rely mostly on handwaved actions, links optional

As we keep an eye out whether threads are provided, we should be able to find evidence of 1. an effort to branch out (ie. tagging a few people and/or avoid exclusively tagging inboxes/castmates), 2. involvement that amounts to more than a few days of active play within the month, and 3. tags that aren't mostly comprised of one-liners

Ongoing threads are fine, but tagging them once or twice every month, for instance, hardly displays a desire to be engaged with the setting/other players

We don't expect anyone to be all over the place all the time. Check-in games are easier to squat, and it's one of the reasons why it's important to us to ensure that players do have the time and desire to participate, especially because AC is relatively easy. These guidelines are implemented in an effort to counter potential squatting and to be fair to current players as well as future applicants

Notify us before the last week of a month if extenuating circumstances prevent you from playing

► A mininum of 2 or 3 threads, a brief summary of what your character's been up to, no comment count required. A couple lines are enough, just to give us an idea of potential consequences your character might face.

C.

► 8+ comments across 2-3 threads + a brief summary. A couple lines are enough, just to give us an idea of potential consequences your character might face.

D.

► 16+ comments across 2-4 threads + a brief summary. A couple lines are enough, just to give us an idea of potential consequences your character might face.

E.

► OTHER (please specify!)

We'll consider your input and feedback and do our best to find a decent compromise for everyone based on your insight! We've been having a blast with you guys and we're really just trying to make sure that everyone's on the same wavelengths. Thank you for your time!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

i voted a because i thought—and still think—it was fair and light (and similar to incensed's ac) when i read the rules before apping in.

i do, however, agree with all folks saying that the requirements for it were vague. that you guys monitor our activity anyway seems to make it almost necessary for linked comments as it'd mean less work for the mod team in the long run. so, though i voted a, i'm ultimately down for whatever!

We definitely hear you! Thanks for your input!

thanks for asking, my dears!
