December 2025 Activity Check & New Game Pacing
December activity check is right around the corner! Due to Holidays and the fact that this is a busy time of year for everyone, AC is due Friday, January 2nd by midnight, Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-8). AC is also check-in only this month! You can of course still submit proofs for SP, but either way, please make sure you've posted AC (even if you're just checking in) by the deadline.
As a reminder, a thread is only eligible for an AC proof if:
-- There are five comments from you in the thread,
-- The thread originated in December,
-- and the thread is canon, which means that it can't be part of the test drive.
Yes, this means backtagging an event still counts, but if and only if you started that thread in December!
Once AC is submitted and SP is rewarded, it is immediately available to be spent on rewards. If you've got a good amount of SP but you're not interested in the individual rewards, consider donating to the Star Suite!
Starting in January 2026, we will also be moving to the high tide/low tide pacing system! Per player feedback and poll, events will now happen every other month. The game will alternate between "low tide" months that serve as plot setup (like the first half of the OOC month in the system to date) and "high tide" months that consist of event missions (like the second half). Low tide months will still have the Game Update at the start of the month, and high tide months will open with the event log (the signup period will be shifted to the end of low tide months). This means just one mod-posted log will go up per month, which ideally should be easier to keep up with and give folks more breathing room for events. We'll be implementing this system starting with January 2026 (September I 2377) as the first low tide month.
Please note that the 2:1 OOC:IC time ratio (2 days out of character counts for 1 day in character) is not changing; the mission/plot action will just be consolidated to one OOC month. The game plot will also progress at the same overall pace, it'll just be doled out differently.
