Absences & Scarcities

If you are going to be away from Ardent for an extended amount of time, or real life is just catching up and you'll be slower, please post here so that we have records of it, and other people may see what's going on. Fill out the form below and you're all set.

Having an absence notice here excuses you from having challenges made for your pack, while you are gone (unless extenuating circumstances cause a consistent prolonging in your leave), and will also be excused from alpha activity checks for the week. However, this also means that if you are caught posting you will be removed from this list and expected to complete alpha activity checks as usual.

Having a scarcity notice up means that you are not excused from site activity checks, but must still meet alpha requirements as needed.

Make sure to edit your post here when you get back saying that the absence is no longer in effect or post in maintenance to have the post deleted.

To be clear. When on an absence, if you are caught posting from the start date of your absence or anywhere in between, until the end date of your absence, you will be removed from the absent list. Meaning, that if you are an Alpha, you will be expected to meet the Alpha requirements, and answer any challenges. Regular members will also be expected to answer any challenges made to them. Alphas may be excused from posting for 1 OOC week only and must have posted that absence by Wednesday on the week they want excused.

On a scarcity notice, Alphas are still required to meet the alpha requirements, and answer any challenges. Regular members are also expected to answer any challenges.

Type: Scarcity
Name: Lolaf
Characters: All of them
Date leaving: Honestly like a month ago
Date returning: I don't know
Why?: I've been struggling for a while now. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned a few times to a few people I'm currently seeking an ADHD diagnosis, this is mostly due to a debilitating inability to get things done even when highly motivated to do so, which I have been told sounds like textbook executive dysfunction, a symptom of neurodivergence. The process to get a diagnosis in my area is quite long and tedious (a minimum wait of 3 months but realistically longer) or prohibitively expensive, I've chosen the former as it's covered by my provincial health care but in the meantime, I am unable to get any sort of treatment for the myriad of things I am struggling with. It's frankly, really demoralizing and causing a lot of extra stress and exhaustion, on top of the usual stress about being unemployed and the like.

I will still be around, when possible I will take any opportunity to post and be social. Recluse will have posting priority for obvious reasons but I ask that people please just be patient with me and understand that right now I hardly know what's happening in my own head and it's just very stressful. Thank you.

Date leaving: Today
Date returning: Until Mid-August possibly
Why?: Starting my medical lab program, it’s full time so I will try to post when I can as I do not intend on being fully absent from the site. I will still try to reply to threads when needed but won’t be posting as frequently and replies may be slow as studying and finishing assignments takes priority. Thank you <3
