Activity

Staff does not police idle characters to determine when they are available for application. A lot of times people are idle on an MC/VC/AC that no one has an interest in applying for but that isn't always the case. Staff will not remove a character from a MC/VC/AC for being IDLE unless another player wants that character or we are undergoing our routine quarterly maintenance. If your MC/VC/AC is verified as IDLE and another player puts in a request(or there is a reserve) for that MC/VC/AC, subject to staff discretion, the character will be awarded to the new player. This puts the burden on the players to both keep track of their activity and to keep an eye on the activity of characters that they want to play.

We will, however maintain the system and occupied character bits by checking quarterly and doing a sweep. If you have not maintained the activity requirements and the character bit is considered IDLE, the MC/VC/AC may be part of the reaping. We are not obligated to send out notices for such things, so please, maintain activity and keep this painless for us and you!

An AC/MC/VC that becomes inactive/idle will be wiped, newpassworded and returned to the Welcome room. A bboard message will be made that the character is now considered OPEN.

When does a MC become inactive?

  • 2 weeks from registration to application submission
  • 1 week without replying to staff during the application phase
  • 30 days w/out logging in
  • 1 rolling calendar month w/out a single log after approval

A PC(OC) that becomes Inactive will be @nuked. It will not be given over to another player as it is the IP of the original creator.

When is a PC considered inactive?

60 days w/out logging in

When can I get my MC/VC/AC back after I lose them?

30 days after you lose the bit if no one else has apped for the character.

What does -not- count as activity?

  • Cutscenes, of any nature
  • +Requested, staff emitted scenes with only one player. You can’t +request staff to emit your activity requirements.
  • Scenes in which your character bit only poses once or twice and then idles; poses out; or others emit for you.

What does count as activity (that you might not have expected):

  • Scenes in which you emit NPC’s for other players
  • Scenes that you run for other players but do not emit your own characters

(Be sure to tag the character you want to get credit in the log and note the credit in the scene summary.)

Vacation Policy

Vacations can be set up to 30 days (this can be extended if absolutely necessary - speak to staff)
Simply inform staff and post to the vacation board in game (or staff will if you are unable).
Your characters will not be considered idle during this time but once off vacation you have 10 days to have a log up or they will be considered idle and up for bidding.
