then what is the actual expectation that will not get people a talking to from the mods? this is my problem. even if you say openly that people need to do more than the stated number, you've now left it vague what you're actually looking for. if you just say 'ac is 15 comments but you actually have to have more than 15' what is the actual number of comments that consitutes acceptable activity? 16? 20? 30? 15 but they gotta be with the mod's buttbuddies?

of course, this is wankgate where we want to be able to talk shit about people regardless, so ambiguous and inconsistent expectations are the norm, but it's a shitty thing to actually do in a game.

the expectation is to engage with the game.

that's it. that's the 'secret' expectation.

5 comments and ONLY 5 comments boomeranged the last day of EVERY month is not engaging with the game. just let yourself be swept or drop.

acceptable: sometimes only 15 comments, sometimes more than that. ac is more often than not made incidentally through engaging with the game and enjoying rping than trying to "make ac".

not acceptable: only 15 comments every time, threads are always dropped after reaching AC length, ac is always made purposefully by tagging with the sole intent of making ac rather than having fun with the game.

there is no way to 100% quantify this behavior, it's a "you know it when you see it" situation.

the actual expectation is that you will exceed the minimum requirement most of the time. that expectation does involve some level of subjective judgement on the part of the mods, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. it's actually a good thing, because it filters out people who are unwilling to tolerate mods having any level of subjective discretion, and you need to filter those people out or you will have a bad time.

your actual problem i think is that you're a little bit dense.

if you have to ask about what the actual expectation is that's a sign you need to drop because if you're actually active and engaging in the game on a regular basis then that shouldn't be of even the slightest concern to you.

anon is either very anxious, case in which an environment like dwrp with rules fundamentally open to interpretation won't suit them, or they're more interested in gaming AC than in playing in their game.

yes, I read this as a fear/anxiety over expectations situation rather than that anon is just making ac every month. I think I would feel that way too if I thought I was being held to a truly secret standard.

anxious anon, if you double AC every month you are probably fine.
