ACTIVITY CHECK -- Game Cycle 12


This is the activity check for Game Cycle 12 (1/1/15 to 5/8/15). You can make separate comments, or one comment for all characters if you have multiples, just make sure we can clearly pick out the characters. All activity is counted from the last post, until this one. Any activity posted after this post will go to the next cycle. For example, if you started a thread, and it is at 7 comments right now, you can count all the points for that thread up to 7 comments, but if it hits 10 tomorrow, those points go to the next round of AC.

Please remember you need to report at least 100 credits worth of activity. This can be achieved in any combination of ways. To review the different ways to earn credits please refer to this post. The more you claim, the more credits you have, but you only need to claim 100 to pass AC. All credits earned between 1/1/15 and 5/8/15 count for this cycle.

IF YOU ARE A NEW PLAYER/HAVE A NEW CHARACTER:

If you have joined within 3 weeks of this post you are cleared for no activity and will begin this round with the default 100 credits all new players are given. However, we would like to know you're here! Please comment to this post that you are 'checking in,' just so we can be sure you're still with us. If you've earned more than 100 credits already, please feel free to claim those instead, but note that you either get the credits you've earned or the 100 default credits. You do not get both.

If you join after this post went up, your character will receive the default 100 credits upon checking in. Any activity you accumulate going forward will count toward the next cycle.

If you do not check in, you character will be considered dropped and hand waved to have been killed at the cornucopia. All active characters must reply to this post, otherwise they will be considered dropped.

You have until 11:59 pm Eastern time on Friday, 5/15 to report in for AC.

You will want to have as many credits as you can get, however you only need to post 100. You will be using credits both to potentially buy out tribute deaths and to purchase supplies. Remember: Things can get pretty pricey in the end! The more credits you've claimed, the easier it is to buy stuff! Credits DO NOT roll over. Use them or lose them!

IMPORTANT NOTICE, PLEASE READ

Cycle 12 is the last game cycle that is using the old activity requirements. Cycle 13 onwards will require all players to make a minimum of 200 credits per character in the Capitol and 100 for those in District 13 using our updated guidelines for earning credits. For a full rundown of the new activity changes please read this post.

The mods would also like to issue an apology to any players who may have been using the new guidelines to calculate AC for this round. The Activity/Credits page was updated to reflect the new system early by mistake and for this cycle the old guidelines still apply. Please use the following to calculate credits for this round:

• MAKING A NEW POST || +15 CREDITS
• NEW CR || +25 CREDITS
• REPLY TO A POST || +5 CREDITS
• REPLY TO A THREAD || +10 CREDITS
• 10 COMMENT STRING || +5 CREDITS
• 50 COMMENT STRING || +5 CREDITS
• 100 COMMENT STRING || +5 CREDITS
• FINISHED THREAD || +5 CREDITS
• CUMULATIVE COMMENTS ON A POST || +5 CREDITS for every 20 comments up to 200

***Comments will be screened after a mod has seen them. We reserve the right to ask for proof of activity, and if we ask you to provide proof, please be prepared to back up your claim with links, a spreadsheet, or some other form of proof.***

Because of the length of time between our activity checks, we do a mid-cycle check in to clear out idlers and allow new people to come in.

All players must provide a link to show us one thread per character that they've been tagging during the cycle (basically anything from January 1st until now is fair game.) It can be brand new activity, or it could be a thread from the last arena you’ve been plucking away at, anything so long as it demonstrates that you are actively participating in the game. The only stipulation is that the thread have at least 3 comments from your character during the current cycle. You’ll need to provide one recent thread per character per mid-cycle check in, but you won’t need to worry about estimating credit counts or tallying anything up for those check-ins. A simple link will do.

Please comment here with your character names and journals before March 23rd. All characters must check in. Anyone who has not checked in here within one week will be removed. In order to be exempted from the check in, you must have a hiatus notice posted to the hiatus/drop page or have contacted the moderators.

Hey everyone! This Mid-Cycle Check In is a little different than ones in the past. For reasons that will be revealed and explained next week, the activity cycle isn't going to end when the next arena begins. You'll be able to continue accumulating credits until the end of Arena 12 to use in Arena 13.

Since this cycle has been extended, we're doing something new and different for this check in. Instead of just asking you to reply, we'd like you to provide us with an estimated credit count for the cycle so far. We want to be sure everyone is on track to make sufficient activity for the cycle. This estimation doesn't have to be 100% accurate, nor do will you need to post proof. We just want to be sure that everyone is on their way toward making AC.

And now back to our regular explanation!:
