IMPORTANT: Activity Check #3 - 6/12/08 through 6/19/08
ACTIVITY CHECK.
Our Activity Checks from now on are going to be much stricter than the last ones, as forewarned here. Our reason for this is that the more lax Activity Checks didn't seem to be working as well as people wanted them to, and so we hope this new system will enforce the activity rules better.
REPLYING TO THIS POST IS ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY FOR ALL PLAYERS. FAILURE TO REPLY TO THIS POST, REGARDLESS OF CURRENT ACTIVITY, WILL RESULT IN AN INACTIVITY STRIKE.
The only people excused from participating in an Activity Check are players who are already listed as being on hiatus here (or who have already made a hiatus announcement to the lounge). However, if a player comes back from hiatus during the course of the Activity Check, or if only a portion of a player's characters are listed as on hiatus, they must still comment.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1. Go find the latest posts made to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
damned by your character(s) before this Activity Check post was made.
(Bothdamned and damned_lounge should show your own personal local timezone as the time stamps, as far as I understand; let me know if there's any problem/confusion regarding the time differences.)
2. Get the links for each of those threads, as well as the day/location/shift that they took place in.
(Click "thread" at the bottom of your character's most recent post or "link" in the header of the comment, and then, copy-paste the URL.)
3. Comment to this entry with the form below.
(Don't include the [] brackets in the actual comment, please. By "mm/dd/yy," we mean month/day/year of that character's most recent post. Please add "(backthreading)" in parenthesis after a character's activity info if it applies.)

Comments/Questions: (if you have any)
WHAT WILL EARN YOU AN INACTIVITY STRIKE:
1. If you have not posted for one or more of your characters for two weeks or more before this Activity Check post was made, each of those inactive characters will earn an inactivity strike.
2. If you fail to respond to this Activity Check within the week specified (6/12/08 - 6/19/08) or if you fail to include links in your comment, you as a player will earn an inactivity strike regardless of your current activity.
3. If you attempt in any way to mislead us in terms of how active your character has been, your character will be immediately ejected from the game and you as a player will receive two strikes and be put on suspension for two weeks.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF INACTIVITY STRIKES:
1. For each inactivity strike, you will receive a formal warning in the form of an e-mail. In this e-mail, we will ask if you want to continue playing or drop. If you do not reply to this e-mail within a week, you will lose your claim to all of the inactive characters specified.
2. If one of your characters earns 3 inactivity strikes, they will be ejected from the game. If you have a clean activity record with your other characters, you may remain as a player with those active characters.
3. If you receive three inactivity strikes as a player or if two or more of your characters receive three inactivity strikes, you will be ejected from the game as a player.
---
Remember: Always keep any entries your character posts to tagged with their name (since that's the way we determine inactivity outside of Activity Checks), and if, at any time, you notice a trend of inactivity with another player, please let us know in the Reports/Concerns Post. The very best way to avoid being caught in an Activity Check is to announce an official hiatus as soon as you realize you temporarily can't keep up with the game. We know the game is extremely, extremely demanding, and we completely understand needing to take a break, but you need to keep the mods and players informed to avoid any misunderstandings and so we can keep things organized.
...Ahaha. 8D; Sorry that was all scary, but yeah, THAT'S THE DEALIO and if any of you guys are caught by this Activity Check, hopefully you'll make sure to go on hiatus next time and you won't be caught by the next one? <3 We just want a healthy, active playing environment for everyone, and... if you're confused at all about how filling the form should work, just refer to my comment below.
TO MAKE SURE NO ONE ACCIDENTALLY MISSES THIS POST, WE'LL BE MAKING REMINDERS FOR YOU GUYS TO REPLY TO IT THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. Sorry for the hassle, guys, and thanks for your cooperation!

Biology books! :D OR MORE QUALITY TIME WITH CAPTAINno subject
and lol not if ZEX doesn't beat him to it with a huge girly looking badly drawn heart with a five page essay inside about how he hopes he can do the following list with him again very soon ♥ [see enclosed list] ♥
ps - if someone can explain items 35-50, would be much appreciated ♥
NO BETTER EXPERIENCE 8D haha ZEX is NEVER GOING TO LEAVE HIM ALONE NOW until he gets sedated for groping him in public anywayno subject
*dies laughing* You know someone WOULD, too. And there would be smiley stickers all over EVERYTHING hahaha because the nurses can't have naughty things where children can read them~
o-ohnoes XD Captain's stalker is going to stalk him MOAR? I thought that was impossible! :DAlso. I love your ZEX. SO MUCH. hahaha so clueless~ XD <3 SO CUTE, TOO
no subject
Hahahaha the nurses all >:( you two can't do that omg that is so not allowed and ZEX all OD OD WHY NOT IT'S WONDERFUL I'M GOING TO DO IT RIGHT NOW. He's going to rhapsodize to Wilson endlessly about it already, I'm sure~
YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW VIGOROUSLY YOU CAN STALK SOMEONE with their eternal burning love meant for the aaaageeees why do you keep locking your door whenever i come around we're meant to be togetheeeer baby why you got to be like that take off your restraining orderthere is nothing as much fun as ZEX's general cluelessness about humans. 8D I'm almost sad he won't have some of that about some things now~ although he can now draw a whole series of totally bizarre conclusions after what happened now, haha. "A HANDSHAKE, EH? IS THIS HOW HUMANS REPRODUCE? (i'm so clever.)" "What?"
no subject
hahahahahaHAHAHA <3 gah yes. :B THAT THREAD IS GOING TO GET VERY VERY STALKED <3
So I take it you know all this from personal experience~ :B*DIES*
Seducing a human with little to no knowledge of what he was doing! His animal magnetism was truly something not to be trifled with, although he was sure his stalwart dedication and unwavering bravery also had a part in it. ZEX always knew he was impossible to resist! If there were awards for this sort of thing, he certainly deserved one.
*DIES AGAIN*
Damn you, Zarla. <3
no subject
tomorrow will be so much fun~ at least for ZEX anyway. 8D
DEEEEBBIIIEEEE I PUNCHED A WINDOW IN FOR YOU BABY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y7U0ZoIW70)HE'S SUCH A HUMBLE AND MODEST PERSON, REALLY, NOT AT ALL LIKE OTHER VUX hee hee hee hee. although seriously i did not think ZEX would pull that off tonight I REALLY DIDN'T SO IN A WAY I KIND OF WOULD AWARD HIM FOR THAT. a wtf award i guess 8B
no subject
I'VE ONLY WRITTEN ABOUT TWENTY WORDS OF IT SO FAR in like the last month and a half BUT THE CONCEPT DELIGHTS ME
hahaha I CAN ONLY IMAGINE :B
OMG MST3K <3 *ignores the woooorld to watch*OH OF COURSE NOT heeee XD NOR DID I. A WTF AWARD INDEED FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS especially Captain wtf. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN, CAPTAIN? I THOUGHT YOU WERE ALL ABOUT TALANA even if the past month or so of your life would've been nothing but stress and perpetual anticipation and killing things and watching your allies, and then your ship, explode and... okay. Maybe Cap'n was in dire need of some mellow and afterglow. BUT STILL WHUT.

Although now I really want a DAX visitor to since he'd just mess with ZEX's head and then all sorts of sad omg am i crazy?? can go around and then ZEX can throw himself on the Captain again all HOLD ME I FEEL SO CRAZY OMG *gropes* hahahahaha
no subject
this time?"hahaha "I don't lie to my allies! And especially not to my girlfriend! But, ah, if I just happen to not mention it..." and hey, now that we've got three-maybe-four-next-app SC2 players I'm sure you could find someone to be your DAX, if the mods allow it. <3
no subject
DAX totally wouldn't abandon him. :< He'd probably come visit everyday if he could~ Awww. DAX would probably be all over him, although the whole "you're still crazy aren't you sir |<" might put something of a damper on that.
Pfffhahahaha condoms oh man I imagine DAX being much more responsible than ZEX about that. "Did you have any sex while you were there, sir?" "Oh yes, lots! O3" "... well you weren't supposed to. put this on."
THAT'D BE SO AWESOME i would love that so much. :D I should ask when visiting time rolls around again
