Reminder: July AC is less than 4 weeks away!
Hey crew! We have a few updates for you today, including some plot wrap-up and mod announcements, but since we've received questions about July's upcoming AC, we wanted to do a reminders post just for that. So watch out for more updates in a later post!
☆ Activity Checks: July 12th - 25th: AC will be starting in mid-July, so please read everything below carefully, and if we missed one of your questions, remind us in the comments and we'll edit to add.
Other Rules & FAQs:
More details will be made available when AC opens, but as always, if you have any questions or concerns do let us know!
☆ Activity Checks: July 12th - 25th: AC will be starting in mid-July, so please read everything below carefully, and if we missed one of your questions, remind us in the comments and we'll edit to add.
Dates: An AC post will go up July 12th, and be open for one week. You will have until 11:59pm EDT (GMT-4) on July 18th to submit your AC. A warning post will go up the following day listing characters who did not pass, after which point you will have until 11:59pm EDT (GMT-4) on July 25th to reclaim your character. If you fail to do so, your character will be removed from the game.
Required Proofs: We require three (3) proofs of activity, which should include one (1) OTA log posted to the main comm, and two (2) threads in two separate player's logs, ie: two tag-outs. These threads should each be a minimum of 15 tags total, meaning your character should have 7 or 8 tags per thread. Personal Logs (that is, threads conducted in a character's personal journal) that have been crosslinked to the main comm will also qualify for one of your proofs.
Other Rules & FAQs:
- ☆ Any activity following January 25th will qualify for this AC period.
☆ Threads should be of a substantial length – no starting a thread and dropping it right away just to meet requirements. We prefer to see completed threads, but anything over 15 tags will suffice.
☆ The mods will be looking for: (a) activity spread evenly over your active time in the game, (b) tags made to all characters, not just castmates or significant others, (c) more than just the bare minimum.
☆ If you have been a member of the community for less than 3 months, we'll accept two (2) proofs of activity, which may be one (1) log/EP and one (1) thread on someone else's log, OR two (2) threads on two separate player's logs. Thread minimums will remain the same.
☆ If you apped with us in June, you will be exempt from this round.
☆ If you are on hiatus during the AC period, you will be expected to submit your AC once your hiatus dates expire. We will give you the same two weeks everyone else gets to compile your AC and do any last minute threading if you did not meet AC prior to your hiatus. Note: this only applies to those who have submitted an official hiatus request with the mods.
☆ These requirements are for each character you play, so if you have more than one character in the game they will all need to pass AC.
☆ 3 qualifying proofs of activity over 6 months is the bare minimum to pass, so you must meet the above requirements. If you encountered a problem and are not going to make AC, but would like to stay in the game, contact the mods asap. We may give second chances to players who had extenuating circumstances.
More details will be made available when AC opens, but as always, if you have any questions or concerns do let us know!
Question
Does log just mean someone else's open post? How is something crosslinked? This is where I am still confused, and I appologize!
Mod reply (JK)
In this context, a "log" means a "post" or "entry". So, pretty much, someone else's open post or if they made a post locked to your character, tagging into that would count, too. The point being that it's either a personal log or someone else's post, rather than a thread in your own post.
As for the personal logs, crosslinking just means posting to the community to link the log.
For example: here is a personal log I recently completed with Finnick and Natasha. And here is the post in
Does that all make sense? Let us know if you have any more questions!

Above says that if we apped in June, we are exempt from AC. Does this apply to those who apped in July as well?
no subject
Hi there!
Yes, it absolutely does apply to those who apped in July. And it's absolutely not a dumb question!
