Hello, Ark residents! Another month has come and gone in Aldebaran. With October drawing to a close, it’s time for our monthly activity check! Starting from today, you have until 6PM (PST) on November 4th to submit the required two threads to remain active status in Aldebaran Sea. Characters that were accepted in the past two weeks or have active hiatuses are exempt from this activity check. You can submit activity check submissions at any point during this week, and they will be processed towards the end of the week. Thank you!
Please see the rules here for more information on activity check specifics
Several of you expressed confusion this week regarding the following statement about a google form in the activity check section of our rules page:
During this week, to remain active, you must submit 2 threads from the past month to the activity check google form.
The aforementioned google form had not been live at the beginning of this month’s activity check. This has been fixed! Please visit the link below(or check under the updates sidebar on the blog’s front page) to view the form.
→ OCTOBER ACTIVITY CHECK: GOOGLE FORM ←
While we ask that you try to send your activity checks through the form this month, any submissions sent to the inbox for this current activity check will still be considered valid. Going forward, we will be performing all activity checks through google form submissions. Details for this decision discussed below the cut.
If you haven’t seen the post for the current activity check, you can find it here.
This decision was made to benefit both our users and the mod team. Tumblr asks get eaten more often than any of us would like, which isn’t exactly great for record-keeping. Our google form also allows users to edit submissions after they’ve been submitted — no more worrying about having to send a second ask if you need to correct something!
Additionally, this will reduce a lot of labor for the mods. Processing activity checks through asks means a lot of copy-pasting or typing and digging through spreadsheets — quite tedious and stressful. Google forms, on the other hand, can be imported directly to excel spreadsheets with zero need for mods to manually enter data. Sounds much better, right?
It is my hope that this system will be a lot smoother for everyone involved and make processing activity checks much quicker. Thank you all for understanding!
If there are any issues with the form, please do not hesitate to message the blog, the ADB discord, or my personal discord (Vulcan#3636).
Your first month has come to a close, and what a month it was! We hope you can keep up this enthusiasm for what we have in store for you this month. Unfortunately, a few of your number will be leaving...
In a week! Because this is our first Activity Check, we know there can be mistakes. So, the residents below will be removed if we have not been contacted within 7 days (October 9th 9pm Pacific Time).
As a reminder, each month residents of the Ark will receive Moon Points based on their rank as follows:
Rank 1: New Moon - 250MP
Rank 2: Waning Moon - 300MP
Rank 3: Half Moon - 350MP
Rank 4: Waxing Moon - 400MP
Rank 5: Full Moon - 450MP
More information on ranks can be found here.
In addition, everyone who reported participating in the October event has received a 50MP bonus. Players who participated but didn’t report their participation may still do so before November 25th to receive their bonus.
