Activity poll conclusion
Hello Pokepals!
It's time to wrap up what turned out to be possibly the least contested poll in history. You all (literally all!) chose to go with option A for our new and improved activity check.
So, what does this mean for all of us now?
Well, starting November 1st, our activity check will consist of 10 comments from at least one thread. The type of threads you can use (comm threads, inbox, backtagged) remains the same. Taking a strike will now require you to pass regular AC for two months in a row before another strike or hiatus can be taken.
As we switch over to this new Activity System, we will also wipe the slate clean of any outstanding strikes people might now have. New system, new us! We will all start on the same footing.
We would like to add one final adjustment. As many of you may already know, traditionally December has been viewed as an AC-free month here in Victory Road. This means the Activity Check that starts on January first ends up being waived for everyone. Now, we definitely want to retain this! December is a busy and stressful enough month already. However, we do want to make one small adjustment -- for now on, any strike on a player's record will carry over past the AC-free December month. What this means is that if a player previously took a strike, and now needs to provide us with two months of regular AC, the waived AC month will not count towards one of those two months.
Or, as a little example, to hopefully make it completely clear -- say a player needs to take a strike on December first because November just ended up being Like That. They would now need to make regular AC for two months in a row. The waived AC on January first does not count, which means this player would need to supply us with full regular AC for the February first and March first AC checks.
Hopefully, this all makes sense, but if there are any questions, we are happy enough to answer them! All that rests us is to thank you all for making this decision rather easy and onto happy new AC tidings.
