V8 Pregame Away Thread

#1

Post by Deamon »

Okay folks, if you're going to be spending some time away from the site, this is the thread to let us know in. As always, we ask that everyone follow the template below when posting away. If you do not do so, your away post will not be counted, and you will not receive any extra time against inactivity. Not as important in pregame but a good habit to get in.

This is not the thread to post that your activity will be reduced, as doing so clutters it up and makes it harder for staff to track. Instead, there is the reduced activity thread for that.

Template

Handler: Your name goes here. Use your forum handle, so we can easily find you in the list.
Dates Away: Post the dates you are away for here (For example, April 02 2021- April 06 2021). Please spell out the months, so we can tell what you mean; dd/mm/yy is not the standard in every country. Do not leave this open-ended; if you have to, estimate high and return early or renew as required.
Days Away: The total number of days away goes here. This saves you from staff math errors late at night. do not give a range. Pick a single, specific number. If in doubt, estimate high and then come back early if you are able. If you give a range, staff will give you the lowest number you put in.
Reason for Away: Here is where you say why you're gone.
Characters: List your characters here.

After this, feel free to put whatever you want, but you must have this template completely filled out to be counted as away.

Here's the code version:

Code: Select all

[b]Handler:[/b]
[b]Dates Away:[/b]
[b]Days Away:[/b]
[b]Reason for Away:[/b]
[b]Characters:[/b]
Next, a note on babysitting. While this trend is no longer so prevalent, the rules on it stand. Having someone babysit your characters has no effect at all on their inactivity. You post yourself away for however long you are away for, and your inactivity dates are adjusted based on that. If you have a babysitter, that's fine, but it is only to keep up your characters' momentum/keep things going with their threadmates. You are still responsible for posting with them by their adjusted inactivity date, and failure to do so will bear the usual results.

Finally, do not edit any away posts in this thread. Do not post edit posts to say you are back. Do not change your dates away. If there's any issue, repost, or we won't find your changes and you may run into inactivity troubles. If you need to extend your away for whatever reason, that is totally fine. Just repost to cover the new dates (and only the new dates) that you will be away.

So, remember, no editing, no uncertain numbers of days away, and no not-really-Away-but-limited-access posts in this thread. We know that activity isn't monitored in pregame but these are good habits to get into now before the game starts proper. If there are problematic posts, we'll try to note it through Help, but there's no guarantee of that happening, and failure to properly adhere to the rules of this thread will not be a thing in your favor if you ever have to appeal a staff decision, since everything's clearly spelled out here.

I would like to withdraw my Away-post since it turned out that I will have internet access during my vacation, meaning that I can post after all.

Reason for Away: Estimating the time here, we're on a roadtrip to LA and I might be super busy visiting everyone. Parents got control over wifi, y'know, wont want me online for long periods at a time. I'll also be on a wifiless car. It's more reduced activity but I need to be sure.

Reason for Away: I am going on vacation. It might be that I will have internet there, but even then it would only be for around an hour per day, which I would rather use to keep up-to-date than hastily write a post.
