I am very much for the idea of a change in activity. I liked the idea of two lengthy threads a month, with explanations made if they were unable to fill the quota. In other games, I've seen activity posts made, where the players are responsible by the final day of the month to get in their activity. Perhaps a post like that would help, as well with the organization of regular activity checks, with someone brought on or someone current appointed to help the mods figure out who did and didn't meet activity. Called hiatuses are obviously allowed within this.

(I believe Gargleblasted does this, if anyone wants to go check it out.)

I know I am speaking from a biased point of view, but one post every two weeks, regardless of the circumstances, seems like very little threading to get done. Even six posts a month seems like very little given that this is a character driven game where character motivations need to be applied to how they are actively handling the setting. It's not like it's one character posting and threading in first person with five people like comm-based games (comm being communicator); it's one person in-depth discussing something with another character.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, because I've been guilty of negligent posting in my previous time in the game, but I just don't know how the current restrictions promote a driven atmosphere.
