ACTIVITY CHECK

Each AC period lasts one calendar month (i.e., from the first to the last day of each calendar month). Players are asked to submit activity for the previous month in first the seven days of the next month. So, you have from July 1-7 to post your activity for the June. Please make sure your AC is posted by midnight Pacific Time (UTC -8) on July 7.

All characters who have been in the game longer than 1 month (accepted before June 1) must provide proof of activity. New characters who joined the game June do not need to post AC for the month they were accepted. Characters who have been hiatused for at least one week out of the current calendar month/AC period are exempt. For hiatuses that include days from two months, AC passes are valid for the calendar month in which the most days of the hiatus fall.

To post AC, please fill out the form below (replace CAPITALS with your information) for each character you play and post it in a comment below.

If your character has opted to gain expertise from a Data Point, we are asking for this information as well. Please see here if you need to know what expertises are available. This is just so we can keep track. If your character has no expertise yet, just leave this field blank.

**Remember, for now characters can switch expertise at will, as long as they get to/touch the new Data Point with the expertise they want. You don't need to play it out or ask for permission, so if you want to assume your character has switched expertises since last AC, that's fine! If your character hasn't opted for an expertise, that's fine - leave it blank when you reply.**

Characters who took a STRIKE last activity period will need to provide either double AC OR two TDM threads with at least five replies from your character that are at max three months old.

Characters needing to clear a strike:

Wanda Maximoff | seeingscarlet
Shiro | lionunchained
Lance | the_tailor
Keith | tempredmental

AC requirements are one of the following for each character played:

- One open post OR open mingle/event top level made by your character during the month of the current AC period, with clear effort to follow up on replies. You of course don't have to have replied to every comment before using a post as AC, just show that you've at least made some attempt to reply to comments on the post at some point - basically, we want to discourage making a post on the last day of the AC period simply to submit it for AC.

- Two threads during the month of the AC period containing at least five responses in each from your character that are on average at least three sentences long. (This is a total of 10 comments, 5 in each thread.) Basically, put effort into your responses - using 10 comments that are two words each will not suffice, but not every comment needs to be three sentences or more.

All threads in the main community count toward AC. IC inboxes and TDM threads can be used for one thread but not both. At least one thread for AC must be in the main community, although it can be one that spans multiple months. For example, if there was an event that started in May and has now gone into June, as long as five replies were made by your character in June it can be used again for AC.

Additionally, in-game players can use any two TDM threads from the past three months as an AC 'Get out of Jail Free' card. What that means is that you can use it to remove an AC Strike or to prevent one if you don't have enough regular AC material. You can only use this option once every three months, and again, both TDM threads must be within three months of the current AC month.

If you have more questions, see the AC FAQ or contact a mod. You can also leave questions in a comment here, and we'll get back to you!
