First of all, I'm not an ogre about activity. I understand that things happen.
So. Here are the rules:
1. Players who do not log in for a month, without warning, will be considered MIA. If they have any ranking characters, those characters will be demoted. Certain plot significant characters may be removed.
2. Players who either do not log in for three months, without warning, or demonstrate a history of month plus absences (without a very good reason) will be deleted.
3. All characters must be played. Specific rules:
a. Some characters may, on request, be ruled 'background' or 'color' characters...these are essentially player owned NPCs with sheets. Mostly, this will be characters who live at the Hold, traders who show up to every Ista Gather, that kind of thing. Background characters have no activity requirements.
b. Normal characters must be played at least once a month.
c. Ranking or plot significant characters must be played at least once a week.
d. Candidates who have not been played at least once in the two weeks prior to the Hatching will not Impress.
4. All planned absences of more than a few days should be posted to the LOA board.
If you are informed that a character you are taking is 'plot significant' (There won't be many of these), then you agree to put said character up for adoption if you leave or disappear.
Any other character may be marked as adoptable. Characters not indicated as adoptable will be transferred to another, off-camera Weyr if the player leaves or disappears.
Players with a history of repeated periods of inactivity may be barred from taking important characters.
