So I typically start on AC halfway through the check period, since at least half or more are done before the weekend. And I'm noticing this usually just a character here or there, but then I see
this post of Giblert's in which nobody is tagging their character on the post.
Now, typically, if I see someone's post has 20+ comments and two other people tagged on it, I can safely assume they've passed. Usually I'll just go in and make sure there's no multi-part comments and call it a day. That post was 20+ comments... and no one else tagged.
Now, I'm not particularly bothered
who tags it. Doing it yourself is typically best. I typically post a comment and tag the post in one fell swoop. Sometimes the post creator will tag people, which I've done from time to time. I'm aware several people have had more experience in journal-based games than comm-based. As long as that tag ends up there, I'm happy.
Because any post that is not tagged does not count towards Activity Check.I use tags for AC. I go through character by character and go just far enough to ensure they passed. I'm only going to find the posts you've tagged. And, for example, if I'm in a post looking for Kotetsu, I'm focused on finding
his tags and will glaze right over Rozalin's tags without paying attention, which will be a problem if she's not tagged. And if, in this example, Kotetsu posted and there's 90 comments and two people tagged? I'm not even going to look in. That's done, I can move on, and I won't see any untagged comments.
You can post your activity in the AC if I say you haven't met it and you totally have. If it's a case that you were still tagging in an older post, I try to go back a few days but it's completely possible I'll miss that. That's fine. If it was because things haven't been tagged, I'm not going to be a very happy camper and you don't get your AC memories.
I'm doing my damnedest not to single anyone out, but my cards are effectively laid out on the table. Questions? Comments? Concerns?
