Downtime actions represent an odd section of time for your character's actions, and governing them has proven slightly problematic. When we first implemented the system, we made it clear that not all information would be immediately apparent. Your character was spending a prolonged period of time during the month accomplishing a given task. It has proven to be much better for staff's workload to resolve these matters (if they are able) within a day or two of receiving them. It's been better, and prevented a backlog, which is great. But it's also caused a bit of a snaffoo amongst ourselves for how to refresh downtimes and when to charge which month's actions. I've read it over, and here is how it will be handled from here on out:
For actions submitted in downtime, you will be deducted the action based on what the next game's month is.
For Example:
April 28th, you submit an investigation on a certain thing that happened. We roll the dice, we give you the results. This will count against your May downtimes.
April 28th, you submit a request to fill your blood pool. You will start May with a full blood pool, and a single downtime will be deducted from your total.
April 21st, you submit a request to fill your blood pool. You start the game of the 23rd with a full blood pool, and we deduct one of your downtimes from April for the privilege.
Make sense to everyone? You still have roughly 4 weeks per month, and you still get your normal amount of actions within that time, we're just tabulating them in a uniformed fashion.
If you have questions, find me at game
