CANON ACTIVITY CHECK VIII
POSTED ON May 20, 2024 21:17:44 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]CANON ACTIVITY CHECK [attr="class","omgenmid"] INSTRUCTIONS ENDS MAY 31ST, 11:59PM PST [player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_r3b4biAvZx1yrg70yo1.mp3[/player] CANON AC INTRO
HELLO, EVERYONE! It is time for an activity check for canon characters.[break][break]
WHY A CANON AC? As we move forward with the site narrative, the canon activity check is important in order to ensure that canon characters are being utilized in a way that we would like to see on the site. We have an active and large member base, so maintaining strict standards for canon positions are important to us.[break][break]
Canon characters, when utilized well on a roleplaying site, have the potential to help new or non-canon characters develop their narratives in meaningful ways.[break][break]
Furthermore, this AC provides an opportunity to help encourage, strengthen and uphold effective storytelling skills on the part of our players.[break][break]
The AC also provides players of non-canon characters with the reassurance that even if a character is not a canon, they are essential figures in the overarching story of Hoenn. Everyone and anyone can be an influential part of another's story and/or the wider narrative Hoenn presents.
IMPORTANT:
Players who own these canon characters must also be good community members, able to avoid inflexible plotting, gatekeeping, and able to respect and exercise healthy boundaries of others, of their own, and of their characters. In this collaborative setting, being able to trust in the storytelling process and other storytellers is pivotal.[break][break]
Lastly, your health is more important than fictional titles and pixels on a roleplaying site. If you must step down from the canon position for better balance in your life, that is encouraged for your wellbeing. Should you wish to return to a canon position, after a steady period of activity, the character can possibly return to their original seat.
CANON AC REQ. THE CANON ACTIVITY CHECK has the following requirements.[break][break]
[attr="class","ynospace"] - 4 linked ic-posts in April-May from every canon character you own.
- each post should be from a separate weeks or spaced out.
- posts should not be from the same 1 or 2 threads.
- solo wilds, safari threads, swarm threads, or anything similar will not count.
- the progress and momentum of the thread will be considered.
NEW POSITIONS may be created (e.g. new Underboss positions, new Council positions, etc.) should a character narratively fit those positions.[break][break]
GYM LEADERS can grant a BADGE to a character they have threaded with and they feel is deserving of the badge's requirements. This is not a mandatory action and can be ignored.[break][break]
Please remember, non-canon characters can have similar impacts as canon characters. Canons are not the end all be all.[break][break]
PLEASE LET US KNOW if you have any questions and concerns as you read the guidelines below. Remember, "plots" do not need to mean elaborate narratives. For example, a gym leader continuing their work conducting gym battles can suffice.[break][break]
[attr="class","ynospace"] - must summarize 2 "plots" of any kind that are in-progress and the threading / posts that have already been put into it (within the ac period).
- if the character is an avatar, summarize how the character has utilized their legendary/avatarship for collaborative narratives. further details are provided below.
