activity check - last chance
September's activity check is officially CLOSED. The following characters have not been checked in:
● Natasha Romanov (616) |
latrodectus | Alex
● John Sheppard & Cameron Waltz |deploy &
enveloped | Dog
If your character is on this list, please reply to the original SEPTEMBER ACTIVITY CHECK POST by 10:00 PM EST on October 9th to pass Activity Check. If no response is received, these characters will be auto-dropped at that time. If the character's name is on this list in error, just reply to this entry with a note letting the mod know.
● SPECIAL NOTE: A two-month "double AC" penalty is in place for any player who was swept with Activity Check, should they re-apply in future. This is to ensure that anyone who wants to leave the game uses the drop post promptly rather than idling out, in consideration of the game character cap.

I'm Siobhan, and easiest to reach at plurk, but PMs will work, obviously. Someday I'll get a discord. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

september activity check
● This month, Activity Check will be open from 10:00 AM EST on October 1st until 10:00 PM EST on October 7th. All comments used as activity proofs must be dated between September 1st and September 30th EST.
● All players will be required to submit 1 thread of 10 or more comments per character for Activity Check proof.
● However, if your comments are 150 words or more, only 5 comments will be required. In this case, the 5 comments do not need to be consecutive, but they must be part of the same thread.
● Borderline word count comments will generally be 'rounded up.' For examples of what 150 word comments look like, please click here.
● In all cases, threads may be from either the log or network communities.
● Newly accepted characters will not have to provide activity proofs for their first month. They will be required to provide a link to their response on the Taken Characters page, and, if applicable, the Occupations page.
● If a player fails to reply to Activity Check they will be swept, and it will be treated as a drop, including the one-week grace period to rejoin without an application. If a character is swept for non-response and wishes to rejoin during the grace period, they would need to provide activity proof at that time.
● If a player is swept and reapplies at a later time, they will be subject to double AC for their first two proof-required Activity Checks after rejoining.
● If a player doesn't have enough proof of activity, they may post to the Activity Check with a request for a strike. There is no option for two strikes in a row, so proof must be posted the next month or the character will be swept. If players are showing a pattern of taking a strike every second month, that will be dealt with privately on a case-by-case basis.
● While threads on the Test Drive Meme and individual character inboxes can be submitted for Activity Points, they cannot be used for regular Activity Check.
Fill in the information in the appropriate text box below and post in response to this entry. The mod will let you know when your AC has been cleared.

mod post: monthly state of the game
Hi everyone! Welcome to October's State of the Game post! This one is pretty important, since it contains information on GAME FOCUS related to mod-posted mingles, UPDATED GAME CAP information, and adjustments to the normal game schedule with a HOLIDAY SEASON TIMELINE including a one-month delay on finalizing the Branching Out exploration mission.

mod post: mini state of the game poll
Hi everyone! This is just a quick poll!
I just wanted to reach out to everyone and ask which aspects of the game players are most interested in. Considering Riverview's playerbase has gotten smaller over the past couple of months, I've been debating on lowering the gamewide cap and shifting the game focus going forward. This would mean more mod-directed plot related to the aspects of the game that players are actually interested in rather than low-maintenance broad sweeps that cover more bases. This would allow me to more directly focus my attention on the things that players would really like to dig into in the setting and allow me to cut down on detail for things that are enjoyable but not high-priority for players.
In the comments, there are a couple of comment threads with major "themes" of the game that I am interested in delving into with more depth. Please respond to the headers with your vote, or hit up the suggestions thread with other ideas or thoughts.
Thank you for any feedback, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

+1 disaster cyborg & his talking sword

Hi everyone! My name's Kae, I'm new to Riverview. I come bringing Jintetsu and his talking sword Haganemaru, from the manga Kurogane (and ongoing sequel Kurogane-Kai) (by Kei Toume) (not to be confused with all those other series and characters called Kurogane).
Basically, his deal is: he's a cyborg from Edo-period Japan, he's got a terrible curse, and he may be creepy-looking and kind of unsociable and kill people for a living but he's actually pretty nice otherwise! I've got a more detailed impressions post on his journal, since I'd be here all day otherwise. TL;DR robot arm, weird sword, never takes off the mask, etc.
He's been assigned to communal housing floor 12, though I'm sure he'll go back to the hobo life before long. I'm actually really excited about the exploration and worldbuilding aspects of the game, and I could see Jintetsu making a good scout or wilderness guide once he's settled in a bit.
Feel free to add me on Plurk at
(PS. I love your cats, please show me all the pictures)

+1 Robot?
My name is Mica and I like Mass Effect maybe a little too much and Robots also maybe a little too much, but here I am and I hope we can all be good friends and tell lots of great stories together. Here are some short facts about me to get us all started:
- You have KJ to blame for me being here
- Your mod let me drop an entire spaceship into the setting
- Knitting too much all day forever
- Literary analysis feat. cursewords and bad opinions
- Too Many Words, holy shit mica stop talking
- I have the fattest, softest cat in the world who wants to see a picture
I am bringing to you EDI, who is the ship's AI and also the sexy robot lady for the Normandy SR-2, the spaceship that everybody loves the best from the Mass Effect franchise. She has terrible judgement and terrible friends, but she's learning. EDI is a good girl who's just trying her best. She's also a killer badass who can hack anything and struts around on heels because #bioware
So.
I hope we're all going to have a lot of fun.

hey all!! i'm eddie, i'm a new arrival to the game and i'm bringing with me villanelle from killing eve! she's a russian assassin and kind of annoying but you'll love her probably and if you don't, well, you're Just Wrong. i'm super excited to throw her into this setting and see if she can make any friends who aren't women with amazing dark curly hair. her inbox is here, her friendr is here, and i've set up a permissions and opt-out post here since there's some stuff about her that's worth knowing before you interact!
if you wanna know more about her as a character, i rejigged my app into an info page here. she's working as a city safety officer (espionage) for the government of riverview and has been posted up in communal housing, floor 12, bed 1, if anyone wants to get roomie/coworker cr!
if we did something on the tdm and you wanna make it game canon, that's great for me! if you wanna plot otherwise, hmu here or at

What's up Riverview. This is Kim your friendly neighborhood Alex Reagan bringing in Beverly Marsh from 2017's IT. She's thirteen and will definitely be wanting to hang with the other teenage kids around. She's going to the middle school and will be in the community residence in Private room 7 on the 9th Floor.
I don't see it happening, but due to the nature of Bev's canon I've created an opt out post for that here! Oh and I'm
