Hey, guys - since it's been over a month since we last had a post to the main comm, I'm going to go ahead and indefinitely suspend the check-in AC, stop maintaining the taken characters list, and allow DDD to become a full-fledged DR. If the game ends up becoming more active again in the future, we can reassess this decision! Either way, I'll still be around to answer questions and monitor the game, should the need for it arise.

ATTENTION

Below is a list of journals that were unaccounted for during activity check. Please note that this is not a final purge list, so don't remove any of these characters from your friends lists. I'll be posting the final purge list on Thursday, March 10th.

( Please check to make sure none of your characters are mistakenly on this list! )

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment here, or you can contact me through PM or a comment to this post!

Remember: if there's someone on here who dropped within the past seven days, they have not been removed because they're within the seven-day grace period and have not been removed from the taken characters list.

Likewise, if you see someone on here who you know dropped a long time ago, chances are they did not notify us of their drop on the taken characters list. There's always the chance that we could have overlooked someone, as well, but the purpose of AC is also to make sure all of the lists are updated, so no worries. They'll idle out, anyway. ♥

ACTIVITY CHECK

Activity check will run from today through Thursday, January 7th.

Please reply to this post with the following information:
<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b>

( Example )

You must do this for every character of yours that you would like to keep in the game. This is simply an interest check - no activity links are required.

Exemptions

If you are on hiatus, you are exempt from activity check. Your hiatus must be listed here or it is not official. If you have a question over this, please contact a mod. We will often accept an unofficial hiatus announcement from the OOC community, but we will not dig through the comm to find the links for you.

Activity Check Process

Here's what happens after Activity Check is over! On the 8th we will go through and gather the information from the check. No check-ins will be accepted from this point on, but the 8th and 9th will be used to make sure there weren't any errors. On the 10th, we'll post a list of the characters to be purged. Those characters will not be available for claiming until after the 15th. This is so the original player has time to reclaim their character if a mistake was made.

That should be it! If you have any questions or concerns about how activity check works, you can hit any of us up on AIM or plurk. The previous activity check-related posts can also be found here, so you may want to try checking there first, though keep in mind that we just recently changed to the check-in system, so things are being done a bit differently.

I'm about to put the FA/RL up, but before I do that I just wanted to apologize to the people who were waiting for so long in the membership moderation queue! That was completely my mistake; I tried to approve you guys when you first submitted requests, but it must not have gone through (my internet connection is a piece of shit, so this isn't unheard of), and I never double-checked like I should have. It won't happen again (but on the off-chance that it does, feel free to poke me)!

Thanks for voting again, guys! Allowing both OCs and AUs won by a landslide, so that's something that'll be implemented along with the other changes. We as mods will figure out the logistics of how this will work, and pretty soon, we'll make the changes official!

As of right now, the poll is officially closed! Many thanks to everyone who participated and left comments/suggestions. Since the issue of AUs and OCs didn't really have a clear-cut majority response here, we'll be discussing it further, first privately in the mod comm and then with all of you in the OOC comm. Be on the lookout for a post about that!

Hey guys, Iddy here! Sorry for the non-game journal, but this is my only paid account right now and you need a paid to make polls.

As you all know, DDD has slowed down considerably in the past couple of years. For the most part, we were tiny and slow, but not inactive - we still got regular posts that generated activity, and most people made activity check with no problems. However, in the past month or so, we've noticed that this doesn't seem to be the case anymore, and it doesn't look like the game has generated enough activity in July/the first week of August for everybody to comfortably make AC, so we've decided to suspend both activity check and the applications system.

Now, there are a couple ways that this could go going forward, and there are a few options we want to poll the playerbase on.

The Taken Characters list. We could become a straight-up DR and eschew this entirely, or we could just become an appless, AC-less game with a claims list (this would require some form of regular "I'm still here" check-in, to prevent the list from getting bloated with characters that are not and will never actually be played at all).

The rules about which characters are allowed. Currently, we only allow canon characters to be apped - no OCs, and no AUs (with the exception of somebody apping into a cast that has created an AU timeline based on in-game development). We could continue to enforce this, or we could open the game up to characters of all types.

Viruses. We could keep the virus schedule as-is with a voted-on virus occurring each month, or we could do away with scheduled viruses entirely and allow players to infect their characters at random if they so choose.



This poll will remain open for two weeks, after which the results will be tallied. Feel free to ask questions if you have any, and/or use this as a discussion post!

The following is a final purge list for characters dropped during Activity Check.

The next activity check will be on Tuesday, July 1st.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

ACTIVITY CHECK

Activity check will run from today through Tuesday, May 7th.

Please reply to this post with the following information and links to 20 comments, with a minimum of 2 threads with different characters and a maximum of one post from your character, for each of your characters:
<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <b>Comment Links:</b>

( Example )

Comments must be from sometime within the months of May and June. Any comments where there is a discrepancy over the time stamp because of timezones (e.g. June 30th vs July 1st) will not count. For the purposes of AC, the following are designated single threads: a post by your character and all threads on it, all threads started by your character commenting to another character's post (or the comments therein), a log or event post "top comment" started by your character, any event post thread in which your character responds to another's "top comment," a log with another character.


Exemptions

If you are on hiatus, you are exempt from activity check. Your hiatus must be listed here or it is not official. If you have a question over this, please contact a mod. We will often accept an unofficial hiatus announcement from the OOC community, but we will not dig through the comm to find the links for you.

If your character was approved during the month of June, then that character is also exempt from activity check.

The list of exemptions is here.

Volunteers

THANK YOU DRAMADRAMADUCK VOLUNTEERS! \o/ This is where you guys get to help in the activity check process! We just need volunteers to go through this post to verify that people have linked the necessary amount of comments from the right time period, and reply to the original comment with "activity verified for" and the names of the characters that have been checked. Feel free to ping any of the mods with questions!

Activity Check Process

Here's what happens after Activity Check is over! On the 8th we will go through and gather the information from the check. No new links will be accepted from this point on, but the 8th and 9th will be used to make sure there weren't any errors. On the 10th, we'll post a list of the characters to be purged. Those characters will be available for reserve and application immediately - however, those applications will not be processed until after the 15th. This is so everybody has a fair chance to apply, and so the original player has time to reclaim their character if a mistake was made.

That should be it! If you have any questions or concerns about how activity check works, you can hit any of us up on AIM or plurk. The previous activity check-related posts can also be found here, so you may want to try checking there first.

Below is a list of journals that are exempt from tomorrow's Activity Check.

... Nobody! That was easy.

The comments still visible on the hiatus post are all active hiatuses. Hiatuses that no longer apply have been screened. All hiatuses that are still within their 3 month limit have been left up there. Only hiatuses still showing on the hiatus post apply for exemption in this Activity Check. If you returned from hiatus but haven't commented there to tell us you're back, please do so now.

Let me know here if there are any errors!
