ACTIVITY CHECK & MINI PLOT

First off, it's that time again. Please comment below with a list of the characters you're keeping and specify any that you intend to drop. AC closes on Friday, May 8 at 11:59 pm EST. No proxy check-ins are permitted unless there's an emergency.

At the end of AC, any characters not accounted for will be swept and any players with no characters in the game after sweeps will be removed from the Discord chat (you're welcome to re-app your character if they're swept and after being accepted, you can return to the chat) just to clean up a little bit.

Comments are screened, in case anyone needs to discuss anything privately.

Secondly, Anonymous strikes again! All comments on that post will be considered game canon. If you want your character to participate with a top-level but you know that they wouldn't ICly do that, feel free to top-level them anyway and they're welcome to comment back that they weren't the one who put themselves on there if they get mad about Anonymous having done it for them. Anonymous gets their kicks from watching the "chaos ensues" portion of an IC anon meme (among other network shenanigans), so it makes perfect sense for them to have top-leveled for a character who wouldn't have done it themselves.

Please feel free to add your own empty top-levels for general anon discussion and IC wank.

Additionally, for maximum lolz, Anonymous has also decided to wreak some more general havoc on the network. Starting with this post and going on until 11:59 PM EST on Friday, May 8, the Displaced Super devices will have officially gone haywire. The severity and frequency of the issue's impact on your characters is up to you.

Some examples of network issues can include:
  • Network privacy firewall failure (at some points during this week, the public at large might see some posts as the privacy firewall flickers on and off—please specify on your post if you vehemently prefer that the post in question does not get exposed in this way);
  • Filter failures (please utilize subject lines to specify in what ways the filter has failed);
  • Anon failures (can be an intended anon comment or post is not kept anonymous or a post that isn't meant to be anonymous is);
  • Message re-routing (again, please utilize subject lines to specify the intended and actual recipient(s) of the message);
  • Private inbox message interference or re-routing (for this week, please refrain from the use of IC inboxes and simply post to the network with an indication of some kind that the message was intended to have been an inbox message, if you'd like to allow those posts to be affected by the network failure mini-plot);
  • AI attempts to autocorrect messages for clarity, honesty, lolz, etc.;
  • Translation errors and truncated messages;
  • GIF substitution;
  • Whatever else you can imagine, please be creative!

Almost all of our players are currently a part of the Discord chat, so any questions regarding the network fail mini-plot can be asked on Discord. If you aren't a part of the Discord and have a question, drop it here and I'll share with the class by unscreening it so everyone can see the answer.
