thenineHello Joyers! It's time for AC again.
As a reminder, this month is a half-AC month for all. Thus, established players need only 10 points to satisfy AC and new players need 5.
The full details of the AC system can be reviewed here but to save you some clicking time, here's the skinny:
You will have until 11:59 PM (CST), April 2nd, to submit your AC. AC periods run during the last three days of the current month and the first two days of the next month, with strikes and sweeps completed on the third prior to apps opening. If you know you won't be able to submit AC ahead of time, you can have a friend submit it on your behalf, or contact the mods privately (here) to work out other arrangements. Failure to report AC without previous arrangements will result in an automatic strike.
(However, please note that beginning in next AC period, we will be transitioning into automatic sweeps in the event that players do not check in without prior arrangement.)
Special Gamewide Exemption for halved AC this month only, numbers have been changed to reflect this below.
✗ New characters need to accrue 5 points to pass AC their first month.
✗ Established characters need to accrue 10 points.
✗ All points after accrual are converted into bonus points, or in game lingo, HP to spend on regains, pets, and etc!
✗ At least half of the threads turned in for AC should be threads started for the month in question (for instance, during March).
✗ The other half can be threads started at any time (i.e., backtags).
✗ Top levels created with sub-levels (ex. Phase I, II, & III) count as one top level
✗ Bonus points can be gained from threads started at any time.
✗ Inbox and TDM threads can be turned in for bonus points only.
✗ Network/Log Post or Top Level (5 Points)
✗ Network /Inbox Tag (1 Point)
✗ Log Tag/TDM (2 Points)
As of now, we're going to do a monthly post to make it easier for your mods to track. If you have more than one character, please post their AC info in separate comments. Please use the following template/format exactly--it helps the mods catch any discrepancies and make sure you don't miss out on any points you may be owed!
An example can be found here.

Chapter Summary: Please tell us what your character has been doing this current chapter and what you plan to have them do before the end of it! In particular, we'd like to know how they're interacting with their faction. This section is for bonus HP and to help the mods incorporate IC actions into the chapter. In order to receive the +10 bonus points, your summary must be at least 100 words and include 2 links. These links may be to any thread of the player's choosing, but we do prefer to see plot-relevant threads if possible. Some handwaving and threads not yet completed are totally okay!
Example:
Joe was contacted by Hyperion (link) and attended the Peace Summit (link) where he argued for x, y, and z. He also picked up a warrant issued on behalf of Schmoe to transport unknown cargo to x destination (link).
Total: AC points = | Total HP gained = (Sum + Summary Bonus (10) - AC points)
