Stricter AC I'm neutral on this so I'm not really torn on whether or not it gets harder or not. I would at least like it if threads didn't count if it was specifically made for just making AC. Example: They tag said person once and that's it. They drop the thread right after. It's unfair to that person whom they dropped the tag with and it makes for skimming through AC easy. So many if there's a certain comment limit that needs to be met for the thread to count. It's that or check timestamps to make sure they aren't purposely replying to threads just to make AC. I'd just like to see that players are making an actual effort instead of doing AC last minute then disappearing again.
Second Chances Yes. Yes. Yes and Yes. It's unfair for people who check in and it makes it easy for people to get by without doing absolutely nothing. We're talking about Players who app and then never actually do anything. Activity check is to show they're active. People on hiatus are one thing, but when people aren't on hiatus, aren't checking in, and allowed to be given second chances? They can be taking up a spot where someone who's actually interested in being active and actually sticking around could have instead.
Cast Limit I'm neutral on this subject.
Threads with Castmates Please no. Just because someone uses a thread that was with a castmate doesn't mean they're not branching out. Also, I find it unfair? If someone isn't tagging only castmates, it could be brought up to them in their HMD or something.
PDAs Also neutral on this.
But I guess what can help with the PDA stuff is during the station meet and greet, Prefects can inform newcomers about the computer labs/read their manuals/ or the existence of the PDAs. What can also be implemented is a tour? I mean, it would be normal for prestigious schools to offer tours of the campuses, so maybe that can be fit in.
Ideas This should be OOC volunteered, but maybe have prefects have jobs like helping the new characters fit in? OOCly, people with prefect characters will volunteer and ICly, the characters will be assigned jobs that help integrate the new student body into the schools. Things like tours or even study buddies. Something where the people who've been here longer and achieved Prefect status can inform the new people about how the computer labs work or what they can get from the store or just how to make things a little easier on themselves while here. Also it opens up potential CR and also opens up potential study sessions/halls or just overall a stronger bring back to the fact that they're at a school and are still learning in classes.
I personally feel like that other than greeting at the station, the prefects don't do much. Sure they announce the Warning Penalty, but I feel like they don't do a lot for having the title. I mean even logs like, prefects making rounds around the campus to make sure people aren't doing anything opens up an Action log and doesn't necessarily mean the character has to get into trouble but they can still run into that person.
Set up a club roster perhaps? Have people start making clubs that students can participate in. We technically have the ASL club as is, which Dave kind of runs on his own time, so maybe we can have some more clubs! It'll be easy to do Action logs open to everyone that way. If a club roster for when meetings happens and where go up on the bulletin boards, it's open knowledge that everyone has access too.
