Since the game's activity level has slowed a bit, there doesn't seen to be much point in having a weekly SotG anymore - there just isn't as much to address! So, here is the new format we're proposing: we'd like to slow the SotG addresses to twice a month; but the two posts will address two different things.
The first post will function similar to an activity check; however, there is no consequence if you don't respond to it! The threads you've done in the past month will be linked in the thread, and it will serve two purposes: 1) to catch other players up on developments they might have missed, and 2) for players who have not posted that month to have a place to say "hey, I couldn't find a place to throw my character into, does anyone want some tags?" and then things can be further arranged from there. We know several people have had times where they idle away from the game for a while and then come back completely lost, so hopefully these posts will help to avoid that!
The second post will be more of a plotting meme of sorts - if your character is looking to have significant developments happen soon, it'll be a chance to ask for any assistance with those matters. It will also be used to gather information and opinions re: the current plot, and to potentially drop hints about what is happening as well.
We never want to instate a traditional activity check, because SCRIB is supposed to be a more laid-back game and it's completely understandable if your inspiration comes and goes. However, it's not an excuse for total inactivity. So we hope to encourage more plotting and activity among our players, while still keeping the game casual.
As always, questions and concerns are always welcome!
