@Dervish and I are unveiling our latest anti-procrastination system; the Dead-line.
It works like this:
- Everyone is expected to post something every 14 days. This go from full-fledged IC posts, or a short OOC notice about your absences.
- Failure to be active will result in a warning; you will no longer be part of FoC after two warnings.
- Major IC events (like current skirmishes on the sea and at Nightgate; intermission downtime like the whaler festival are not) have a window of 14 days to respond; failure to do so incurs a major loss to your character, which can take on the form of equipment loss, injury, and more.
- Not responding to two consecutive major IC events will result in the neglected character(s) being killed, expelled from the company or appropriated as GM-controlled NPC. This is irreversible; you may remain as a player, but that character is gone forever.
- You may request exemptions from major IC events. Upon GM discretion, your character may be preserved as inactive until reentry is possible.
The Dead-line system will come into full effect on the next major IC event (after Nightgate battle and frigate raid).
