    Missions

    Mission: Tanks )
    Sign up here! Also, ask any questions you may have, or provide any feedback on the new mission signups on this post as well.

    Tonberries

    This will launch with Namur and Sigyn tomorrow. A thread will be provided for Saber's Instructor review as well.

    Raha Cup

    The Raha Cup is Balamb town's annual sailing regatta, a race from Balamb Harbor up to the Raha Cape (on the western coast of the continent) and back. At the start point in Balamb Harbor, the public is welcome to watch the start and end of the race, and the Cup is trialling a new live broadcast of the race this year which may be viewed on a video screen back at the harbor.
  • On Saturday EDIT: Next Saturday (August 10th), we will put up a mingle post where characters may watch the race, purchase food and drinks, play with remote control boats in the harbor, and get facepaint. (Sorry for the date change! This Saturday turned out to be unexpectedly bad for the moderators.)
  • Having received information about possible threats at the regatta, the Balamb town council is hiring SeeD and Cadets as security alongside the town's police force and volunteer militia. We will not be running formal signups for this, but players may post their characters acting as security in the harbor mingle post.

    School

  • It is week eight of the second trimester. LAN 101 is teaching Old Galbadian (Spanish equivalent) this trimester.
  • The Trimester 2 master class schedule is live, so you can plan your characters' classes and classmates! Remember, SeeD can audit classes alongside the cadets.

    World news

    This information can be picked up IC by various means. These could include but are not limited to newspapers and magazines (available in Balamb Town, by subscription, or in the library), word of mouth, NPC BBS posts, and a news ticker on the network (which also relays school news). Feel free at any time to ask us for more details on any news items (this week's or previous week's) if you'd like them for character discussions!
  • This week, the Balamb town LARP group is hosting a festival open to LARPers from around the world, which means Balamb continent will have some new faces who are very well costumed, have excellent props, and are damn good at staying in character. The Balamb town council will end up mistaking some of them for off-worlders...
  • A Dollet woman has announced a plan to jetski from Dollet to the Cape of Good Hope as a charity fundraiser for the Centra orphanage. Donations can be made by mail.

    This activity check will last from Monday July 29th to Monday August 5th. Anyone who hasn't replied by 11:59PM CST on Monday August 5th will be regrettably removed from the game.

    The activity requirement is:
    Either

    At least fifteen comments from your character in [community profile] witchesreign
    This may be action spam or on the BBS. You may link multiple threads to reach the requirement.

    or

    At least three prose comments from your character in [community profile] concoursec
    These must be from the same log.

    With either option:
  • Comments must have been made in the month of July and/or the current AC week, provided you did not use them for the last AC.
  • Some of your activity must be on a post made in July and/or the current AC week, though backtagging may still be used for AC.

  • Exemptions:
  • New characters accepted from the last acceptance round (the 19th) and after (though you must check in next month, barring unexpected circumstances)
  • Players on hiatus who have posted to the hiatus page. If the dates on your hiatus have expired and you're still on hiatus, please update your hiatus notice. We do not account for unposted hiatuses and it is difficult for us to keep track of whether people have completely returned or are now on slowatus.

  • Other notes:
  • Please do not post your activity until you've at least hit the minimum comment count for an AC check in. In other words, do not link threads with less than the minimum comments with a note that they're ongoing. We clear the AC list throughout the week and want to be able to check you off once you post.
  • An easy way to count comments if you use Chrome, Safari, or IE is to log out of the character account and Ctrl + F their username on a thread. These browsers display the number of times your search term is on a page. (Firefox, unfortunately, does not. We will happily edit in other browsers which do or don't do this if you let us know about them.)
  • An easy way to track your own activity is to use your canon: character entry tag on all posts you comment on! If you do not yet have a tag or there is a problem with yours, please contact us.
  • If you do not have the required activity by the end of the AC week, you may take an activity probation, meaning you must submit double activity in your next AC. (This may be in any combination of the above activity proofs.) Please comment saying so if you would like to take a probation.
    • If events fall out that you are on hiatus through an activity check on which you owed double activity for a probation, you must provide double activity on the next month's activity check.
    • You must pass 2 ACs with the character in question before you may take another probation for them.

  • We do not reply to check in comments unless there is a problem such as broken links or not enough activity linked. You may assume you're clear if you don't receive a comment within a day.
  • Having trouble catching activity check? Track the [activity check] tag!
  • Idles are not cleared until the Saturday after AC finishes. As such, if you know you are dropping, we would prefer you use the drop page.

  • Please use this form for each character you play (all in the same comment is welcomed):


    Thank you!
