December AC And New Tick Reminder
While this is normally something we'd announce after the close of November's AC, we have had cause to let you all know early that December's Activity Check will be different, as it has in the last few years. The Mods here at TRP are aware that December can be a very stressful part of the year (finals and exams for students and teachers, stress at work for retail workers, certain holidays for some people, travel and visiting friends/family for others). This is a month where your time may not always be so free for RPing as it might otherwise be. As such we have decided that December will continue to be be Check-In Only. Any character that has not taken a strike in November will only need to check-in. To perform a check in, please use the Template First Month on the AC page to submit your AC, so we can track any possible expertise changes.
Any characters which currently carry a strike over from November will only be asked to submit standard AC levels to clear your strike. This means treat December like a normal AC month.
Please note: those characters that do not check in at all will receive a strike. If you do not need to clear a strike in December, it is advisable that when you submit your November AC also check in for December to ensure you do not forget to do this. Characters with strikes can be swept if they do not submit AC in December. Please remember that even with December being chill, we still need you to do this step.
If you have a strike and need to hiatus for December, please do so as soon as you can to ensure that you don't need to worry about that.
We will have some fun for you to enjoy in December at your own pace, but we want to be sure that players are aware of this change in AC early so you don't have to stress out.
As for New Tick, you can start sending in your characters' New Tick Wish Lists now! Please note you have to be logged in with a character account to access the post. Rules are posted on the page and we ask players to pose any questions they have on that post and not here. Take the time now to start thinking about what you might ask for, and remember that it doesn't necessarily have to be something the character would like. These are the Agrii giving gifts, and they might not know that a certain prize possession is more infuriating than welcomed. You'll have until December 24th to submit your lists, one individual comment per character.
Finally, we'll be opening up these gifts to any player who joins the game prior to the cut-off date for the gift and celebration ideas lists. So if you're going to enable new players/characters to the game, don't forget to tell them that as part of the New Year, their characters might almost immediately get some treat or gift from home back into their possession. It's like a second item brought with them and might make characters feel a bit more connected to home.
