empatheias_ooc | Activity Check: July

— ACTIVITY CHECK: JULY 1 - 31 —

Hello everyone! Every activity check will run throughout the last 7 days of every month, coinciding with the opening of Reserves.

While you're going through your activity, don't forget to comment to the Emotion Tracker if you find any particularly emotional threads!

All proofs must fall within July 1 through July 31. The deadline is Friday, July 31, 11:59PM CST.

You can choose one of the following options:

1 entry + 7 comments.
At least two threads totaling 10 comments.

Here are some clarifications:

You can use multiple threads for each option.
You count your tag comment, not the other character's (so 7-10 comments made by you).
Threads must be at least 2 comments long. No 1 comment submissions!
You cannot use threads made within your own entry for either option. All threads must be made somewhere else.
- Exception: You can use multiple threads made within event/mingle entries without restriction.
Your top level comments in event/mingling logs are considered as one giant thread. Threads made in reply to other top levels are considered as different threads.
Ideally, all proofs must begin within the month to count. However, if necessary we'll accept threads that started within the last seven days of the previous month so long as the majority of tags occur within the current month.

Anyone on the Hiatus page is exempt. Do not try to use the hiatus as a way to bypass the Activity Check—we will notice! If you were on hiatus for at least half of the month, you only need to provide half of the amount of proofs.

If you do not have all of the requirements, you can get a strike if you at least have some proof of activity. This means you will have to completely pass the following Activity Check to clear it, or be forced to drop. Thus you can fail once and then pass the next round to have a clean slate again. However, you must have some proof of activity to qualify for a strike.

The following journals have a strike and must complete this month's activity check to pass:
