( ACTIVITY. )

Activity Check



Here at Silent Spring, AC is relatively low to accommodate the busy lives of a largely working, late-20s-and-older playerbase, and so that the game is still playable for people whose lives during weekdays (or whichever days work) relegate them to being weekend taggers.

We require one (1) AC proof per month, either a thread of 5 log comments, an event toplevel posted no later than the 20th of the month, 15 short network comments, or 5 multiparagraph network comments. You may not use a thread with the same character for two AC periods in a row.

You can post AC at any time in the month, the earlier, the better! This makes it easier for mods to space out administrative work through the month.

We allow for hiatuses of 1 month, up to 3 a year, not back to back. Players get one strike if they cannot make AC (with the exception of extraneous circumstances - please explain these to mods as soon as you are able to even if you’re not sure you’ll be unable to make AC and just think you might not make AC).

All of this said, think of AC proofs as a small cross-section of expected activity, the absolute bare minimum. This is a very small game, and there aren’t unlimited slots. Out of consideration to the people who didn’t make it in after you, please don’t squat.

New players should post a comment with their handle in the subject line, and then reply to that comment with the following subject line: Character Name | Canon | Role (Husband, Wife, Child).
For each month, post a new comment in reply to the subject line with your character’s name and canon, putting [Month] [Year] (ex: “January 2024”) in this comment’s subject line.

What did your character do this month? What's a girl got to do to be left alone long enough to finish a science project? Maureen's been building a homemade radio transmitter in the basement in an attempt to get into contact with her family, the success of which has been hampered by: experiencing NYE memory bleeds, getting trapped in killer mannequin riddled department stores (where she worked with Vasiliy, Sans and Sokka, and Beth to get their hands on water), and power outages (that sent her, Jupe, and the excitable family dog trekking to a neighbor's).

What did your character do this month? Maureen attended a dinner party where her main takeaways were: It would be great if everyone, locals and new arrivals included, would assault each other less; and the NYE hallucinations were weirder than she'd previously assumed.

Throughought February, she went door to door to various neighbors looking to rummage through their drawers for science fair materials, had a few sincere conversations while taking a break from Marjorie's Valentine's Day party, and eventually cornered her husband into strategizing for what happens when she sets her radio off and probably gets in a whole lotta trouble.
