Each player may submit a maximum of four points per character, and each thread will be worth two points regardless of the type. These threads must meet AC requirements, but can be dated at any time. Please refer to the section in the Captain's Log for more details.
Please check our Activity Check guidelines on our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:
» Only threads dated from September 1st through September 30th count towards the month's activity. (With the exception of certain backdated threads, read the linked AC guidelines for more details.)
» Activity requires one thread of at least 5 comments. The comment count is from your character.
» Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count, only the threads within the posts. TDM threads with non-game characters will count.
» Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. For the sake of ease, we would like the two threads linked together.
» You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.
» Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.
» Bonus AC points: All extra non-quest threads not used for AC will be worth 2 extra points that can be used for reward redemption. Please check our Rewards page for more details.

There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Monday, September 30th 11:59PM US Eastern.
EXTRA FIELDS: This is not required and completely optional, but included in the submission form are two optional fields: Extra and MANTA Board Posting.
For the Extra field, this is just a space for players to note anything that occurred in their threads that they think might be fun for us to know. So if something particularly interesting happened (for example: discovering a new creature or location, an old artifact, or perhaps a character has stolen something), we highly encourage players to jot them down! Who knows, we may even find a use for it… In addition, we may ask players to submit certain activity related to an event.
You may also submit MANTA board requests to be included in the upcoming board. We will try to add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board or a time we deem fitting. If you don't have one in mind at the time of AC, you can post it later to the upcoming Captain's Log announcement.

Proof: 9/2
Point donation: N/A
for nowExtra: --Thread with whales and the Paladin investigation are ongoing but Kaveh did ask the whales about what they know and got to hear about an island that "reeks of death"! Thanks whales, that's terrifying!
He also had a bounty out on him that was largely solved by being a Karen and slapstick shenanigans. Oops.

Extra: Just the same as last month, I'm enjoying the idea of pit fighting Todoroki who puts on a WWE fake level of show if they want death matches. He's been focusing less on patrols and more on a little domesticity as well with them finding their new island. It's important to have time for that, too.

Point donation: Rotagcorc Event [4 pts.]
its been a long time since i used these points for anything so I cannot remember if I already used a thread, please lemme know if I need to replace itExtra: Work's kept me mostly busy buuuuut:
- Both dealt with his own bounty placed on him, and is helping out his dads with theirs, whether they (Alhaitham) want him to or not.
- Snuck onto the cat island, regretted it almost immediately. He ended up spending the next days, around 6-7 roughly, terrorizing the warrior cats in the Nekoken state (tl;dr, cat boy), causing a little (and I use little sparingly, he clawed up and down a bunch of trees to shreds and logs) destruction to the environment and the people who arrived to try and deal with him. Some were more successful in dealing with the bad kitty, others had gotten their tongues got.

Proof: Sept 2
Point donation:
2pts: Jan 2024
2pts: Jan 2024
Extra:
- Emet has spent the month working to build the first ship with a (prototype) magitech engine. It'll be launched without much public fanfare, I'll probably have Emet post a video or picture of the event along with the result of the launch. [Successful: Although the ship wasn't able to sail very far due to being cobbled together rather than built with the engine in mind.]
- Cid asked him for some help with developing a larger-scale heat sink, and Emet gave him some pointers on how to improve on the design. Cid agreed to Emet testing his new, eventual design on one of the new magitech engine ships he's building.
- He successfully gathered fire cores from the fire sprites without resorting to murder. (You cretins!)
- Cooked some of the jellyfish.
- Dallied with the octopus in that underwater temple and figured out that the lights need to match constellations of the leviathans.
- He has also been trying to stymie people's attempts to murder things this month.
MANTA Board Posting:
After a (relatively) successful launch, Emet-Selch has secured the backing of a patron and is now making plans to build a brand-new ship from the ground up. All helpers are again welcome, particularly those who have had a hand in development until now. Those with ship construction experience will be needed in particular. Everyone will receive reasonable wages for their work.

Character: Alhaitham | indispensable
Proof: 8th September
Point donation: 10th September & 11th September
Extra: Thread for Disguise and Deliverance still on going.
No event participation from Alhaitham because I fell flat on my face due to ~real life~.
The bounty on him and Kaveh has been cleared up through amicable agreement (read: threat of violence and pettiness).
Sherlock and Alhaitham also investigated the Perspectives in Pursuit quest. Still on going but nothing big should come of it given what mods has already informed us about the forger etc.
no subject
Character: Denji | nutsornothing
Proof: 9/02
Extra: -Ranma and Denji killed a massive fire sprite after slaying its lesser counterparts.
- Cid and Denji got disguised as a Paladin captain, first mate respectably to infiltrate a ship to investigate the dealings with the crystalized infections, freeing any test subjects who've been captured.
- Showed off his hybrid skills to Gojo as they take out the poachers of a whale hunter ship, completely slaughtering them as they boast their abilities towards each other.
no subject
Character: Miriam | crystalrepose
Proof: 9/5
Point donation: n/a for now
Extra: The log(s) are ongoing, Miriam infiltrated the mansion in Disguise and Deliverance with Zelda and Zack, discovering and later freeing the captives, and will most likely hurl herself into researching a cure for their curse since she's uniquely qualified to assist.

Extra: Benedikta and Cid rode some clouds, found a tower. Up there, they discovered that many of the items were covered in the black stuff, and some old skeletons. There was a tunnel that led beneath the tower into the cliffs that was collapsed off, and definitely not by natural causes. They came out of there with some love letters, a two-way compact mirror (they don't know where the other end of it is), and some pegasus feathers that they will be trying to sell on the market. She also crossed a "bridge" with Leona by surfing on the sand with wind. +3.
Character: Tifa Lockhart | starshower
Proof: 09/15

Proof: 09/07
Point donation: 08/18, 09/07
Extra:
Event
- "Clear out" creatures with Garrus (sorry Garrus) and also with Ann (Ann did all the work probably) (2)
- Collect artifacts/treasure with Clive (and pubby? 🥺) and got called Bilbo-chan by Gojo while exploring the ruins for treasure (2)
- Definitely didn't have her dark crystals confiscated by Eustace (1)
+5 activities for the Corsairs!?! Did she finally become a pirate?Additionally, Sumina & Sherlock went the "let's not get kicked in the face and search their resting place" way for trying to gather winged horse feathers.
Infiltrate & Liberate: Sumina acted as Darin's second-in-command while inspecting a shady ship, managing to bypass the crew by way of bribery. Bribery coming from Corsairs passing as Paladins going over well? It's probably fine. They were able to reach the cargo hold in search of the missing subjects. (Thread still in progress but I assume they'll be able to find and extract subjects!)
no subject
Character: Darin Altway |
Proof: 09/07
Extra: Darin and Sumina infiltrated a ship dressed as Paladins and are in the process of finding someone/something hidden away! Thread is still ongoing but they DID find something!
MANTA Board Posting: STARMETAL SPARRING: Do you have a special magic or power that you're itching to improve with? Want to test your might against someone determined to get stronger? Got some frustrations you just want to work out by beating the hell out of a big, muscley guy who wants to get better at fighting? Come on down to the Starmetal Forge and challenge the Forgemaster! Word on the street is that he wants to get stronger and he won't turn away any challengers!

Character: Cloud Strife | makoglow
Proof: 09/02
Extra: This month Cloud and crew hosted events at the 7th Heaven for everyone as an anniversary gig. He helped with the cats, assisted Emet-Selch with that engine business, and got a little lost and confused in the fog. The whole memories "clouding" up got to him a little and he had to brace himself for the thing that he worries about.
Character: G'raha Tia | afflatusexarch
Proof: 09/02
Extra: This month Raha learned to bake a cake! This is about as exciting as it gets. He went with Cid to do some exploring. Of course with the potential to hunt for artifacts, G'raha would do just that. He found some tools that had been left behind, scraps of fabric, and some little statues ( he thinks they are leviathans ). G'raha continues to work on deciphering the pictures from last month.

no subject
Character: Gale Dekarios | netherese
Proof: 9/08
Extra: Disguise and Deliverance participation, went undercover with Karlach and helped a few missing persons escape the premises. Startled by their altered appearance, Gale made notes of his observations regarding the captives' condition and will have shared them with the folks at Atnam as well as the Paladin Conservatory to give some fellow nerds something to chew on. Very curious about what's going on at the root of all this, but further investigation will have to wait for another day.
Character: Ann Takamaki | cakebuffet

Character: Reno | general-affairs
Proof: 9/12
Extra: Reno has been a very busy boy running around. He's nabbed some top layers of Eltrut scutes, but hopefully it didn't hurt much! Unfortunately it did, and poor Eltrut will have to deal with some scarring until the next shed. Some Corsairs he hired may have ran their mouths about it in exchange for pay if the mods are bored and want to bully Reno(if they did, they might have vanished because no one likes a snitch). Also, he chipped a few bone shards from Nogard when beached, and maybe did a little bit of blood-letting(is that blood? Jury's still out and he doesn't wanna talk about it), but surely a dragon that big won't notice!
As usual, he's quite the frequent visitor of libraries and records--he brings all of his books back though! And sometimes brings books/supplies between major libraries on request since he's always rummaging through them! He also rummages through what public records he can get his little fingies on. One of these days he's gonna get into the really juicy shit when no one's looking and maybe get himself arrested.
Also helped Cloud out in the fog but too busy to participate in armada wars otherwise.
MANTA Board Posting: If you guys wanna have the fuzz on his ass about harvesting stuff from Eltrut or Nogard I'm game. Alternatively, if there's any reason you want to this idiot in trouble in general, I'm always down for it. He does a lot of things when no one's looking. :)
