I think the general idea is to hammer down some specifics so that things don't get misinterpreted, like they did today - which really sucks, and I'm sorry for that.

If people don't WANT to try and quantify/qualify/etc the comments themselves, then that's fine too -- just let us know what you think! (Which I guess is what you did here, so thank you for that.)

I have heard some people mention that they don't like being unsure about "how much is enough" - and so that's why those questions are there. If people don't want us to monitor the issue of not having enough activity outside the basics, or thread dropping - then please tell us. But we've received so many complaints about castmates scraping by and their threads being constantly dropped by a person (over months - months where they were not having fun because of this issue) that in the interest of making sure everyone is having fun, we have tried to keep a better eye on things.

It is a game - and I want it to be fun for everyone. But it isn't fun when people are getting misled and upset over miscommunications and that's why I'm hoping to get down, in clear terms, what people would like to see in the activity check, how it's handled, etc.
