Activity Check (AC)

Good afternoon, Ten Forward! It is time for our biannual activity checks. The requirements to pass are the following:

+ One Open To All Post (Log/EP) in the main comm
+ Two threads in two separate players' posts of at least 15 comments total
   (OR one thread in another player's post of at least 15 comments total AND one personal log)

Characters who have been in the game less than three months may submit any TWO of the above proofs.

If you are on Hiatus, you are exempt from AC this week but will need to submit your proofs of activity when your hiatus is over (note: this only applies to players who filled out a hiatus request at the above link). Applicants from June and July are also exempt from AC this round.

You have until 11:59pm EDT (GMT-4) on July 18th to submit your AC. A warning post will go up the following day listing characters who did not pass, after which point you will have until 11:59pm EDT (GMT-4) on July 25th to submit AC and reclaim your character. If you fail to do so, your character will be removed from the game.

Reminder: AC starts TOMORROW (plus updates!)

[ten_fwd_mods]

Hello, everyone! This is just a reminder that AC begins tomorrow, July 12th (in the Eastern US), and will be open for one FULL week. We have provided full info on what to expect, including an updated AC FAQ, on this post. If you have any questions, please check the post out!

July Apps: To everyone who applied with us this month, thank you for your apps! We're going over apps right now and you should expect to hear from us throughout the coming week! We'll have a Welcome Post up as soon as apps are processed. We're really looking forward to playing with all the new characters!

Reserve Requests: At this time we will also be checking in with everyone who has requested characters be placed on the Reserved list with a note to contact the cast before apping about potential triggers or previously built CR (as mentioned in our FAQ). Players will need to renew their request with us to keep it on the Reserves page. We will do this every AC period, as casts shift and change and a reserve request may not always be necessary. If you have such a request, you will be getting an e-mail with this info from the mods, and all you will need to do is reply with whether the reserve is still necessary or not. You will have until the end of AC (July 25th) to do this, at which point if we have not heard from you we will take the reserve request down.

As always, if anyone has any other questions or concerns, you can get in touch with us anytime!

Welcome Post | Meet & Greet

[ten_fwd_mods]

Hello, Ten Forward!

How are you all today? All of July's apps have been reviewed and are being processed now, so we at Ten Forward want to give a warm welcome to all of our new applicants!

We're SO excited to have you all with us, and we're looking forward to playing with you and getting to know you. Us mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so consider this your official welcome mat! Below is some helpful info, and this space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are.

• IC Intros/OPs: Your Opening Post can be where and when you prefer, as long as it isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you'd rather tag someone else's post to establish your entrance, that's totally allowed. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but if you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know.
  
  
• Life On Board: Your characters' first few days on the ship will involve a lax quarantine to guest quarters, Ten Forward, and the lifts/hallways between the two only. The medical staff will need to see them to clear them of disease and log their bio reading for future medical attention. Afterwards, they'll be assigned more permanent quarters and a roommate (unless there's a reason they cannot room with someone else), and be able to wander the civilian areas of the ship more freely.
  
  
• Sickbay: On Friday, we will post an open sickbay log to play out any new character's checkups (as well as facilitate any plot, such as asking if you can volunteer to help), but it is not required if you would prefer to handwave your character checking out and getting the all clear from the docs aboard. If your character has any special medical conditions, let us know. If you have any other requests, leave a comment. Once your character has been cleared medically, they'll be released from the initial quarantine (of Ten Forward and the guest quarters only), assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. Restricted areas are, of course, still off-limits (such as the bridge, engine rooms, conference rooms, etc). This is especially open to new applicants, but should anyone need to visit Sickbay remember it is OTA!
  
  
• Rooms: We will be assigning all new characters a room and a roommate by random draw. This means if you have special requirements or considerations, you should leave a request in a comment HERE with your character journal. Some examples would be: if your character has a spouse or SO they would prefer to be roomed with; your character is unable to share quarters because of their physiology/temperament; and the like. If you're bringing in a high-ranking Starfleet officer, you may be assigned VIP quarters. IC, the Enterprise crew would be sure any important officers would have the best rooms, but OOC we don't want you to miss out on building CR with another character, so all officers will automatically be treated the same as other characters unless you tell us otherwise. We'll post an OOC list of characters getting roommate assignments this week, and an IC Roommate Mixer will go up next weekend so all characters can meet and mingle.
  
  
• Plot/CR: July's plotting meme is located here, or you may leave a comment directly to this post if you're looking for any particular plots or CR for your character. Tag around other people's requests and make some new connections.
  
  
• Join/Update the OOC Cast list: If you're new to the game or you have recently changed your character roster, visit the Contact Post to let us know who you play and what the best means of getting in touch with you are. This post is locked to members of the OOC community, and it is entirely optional if you would rather not post your information anywhere. Please note: if you're not comfortable with giving out certain info (like e-mail addresses or SNs) but still want to be represented, not all fields are mandatory. Leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. Nobody's privacy will be compromised.

Are there any other questions? Did the mods overlook something important? Please feel free to contact us, night or day, using the e-mail address tenforwardmods [at] gmail [dot] com, the mod plurk at ten_fwd or leave a comment on this post. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

We look forward to meeting everyone! Come, say hi in the comments below!
