I totally feel you on the poor weather + a dish = AHHHHHH WHY DID MY SIGNAL DROP AGAIN??!!
Like I've expressed a few times, my own methods in the community are not everyone else's. I try to rotate my characters around so that I don't feel like I'm focusing on one more than the other consistently. Some characters post to the journal easier than others, but that doesn't mean that I'm not tagging around either.
I was concerned that my app wouldn't get approved because of my activity, to be honest. I went through everything for September that I could remember and I was upset that I hadn't been around as much. But then I also remembered that I was on a hiatus for the first part of the month.
I think that as long as the player-base is aware of their activity, aware of where they are a weaker player or where their character doesn't "fit" so to speak into the usual cookie-cutter shape of a Paradisa Journal member, they try to work around that. They post to other people more than make their own posts and they make logs to put their characters out there.
I guess, I don't see the "minimum" activity being the consistent pass for the players in the game. I go by what my own activity is, by how many threads I have going at a given time, and the fact that I do average about 50 tags a day coming in that I'm doing good. Can I do better? Sure, but we all can do that. It just will depend on real life and the situations coming up.
I think, personally, that the players that do have more active characters, that do make a lot more journal posts or have the social characters that thrive in the game - could do more ICly to help out those that aren't good at those things. Throwing a party is not always the answer though and if there were times where you signed up for a CR meme and you said we're going to have an event on THIS DATE and then get people to sign up for it, you might get more random CR in that post than you would throwing up an elevator is stuck post.
Jo has the Lux so I try to involve that in my posts to open it up to people who are hungry/thirsty. Now, Harmony, Fred, and Cordelia have Caritas. Karaoke nights could happen in the log comm -- and if these things aren't repeated constantly it might open up more people to try and find people to do things with.
IDK - I will always have ideas for open posts and things that people can do. Bowling Tournament, Mini Golf Classic, Field-Games (potato sack race where you get paired up randomly) - things that don't have to be world plots, but can still invite anyone to come play without it being a "Mingling in the party again" type thread.
