ACTIVITY CHECK
This activity check covers the month of January (EST/UTC-5). As a reminder, to pass AC you need:

At least 20 comments from you across 2-4 threads. One thread of 20 or more comments may be submitted if you are also submitting AP.

Any combination may be submitted (13+7, 1+10+9, 10+10) as long as you meet the required total comments. Inbox comments that are dialogue-only count as .5 comments.

All players are required to respond to this post by 11:59 EST on the 7th. If you can't make AC this round, please reply to this post to request a strike. If you take a strike this month, you'll be required to turn in a total of 30 comments across up to 5 threads during the next activity check to clear the strike and pass AC.

Please note the AC Adjustments listed below for those who joined the game later in the month or those with strikes. New players exempted from AC may still submit for AP. Those who do not respond to AC will be swept from the game.

QUESTIONS?

[villagemod]

Do you have questions about AC or AP? Ask them here! Some previous questions:

Can we use threads that started in another month for AC? What about using the same thread for more than one activity check?
— Threads started in the previous month may be used for half the monthly AC requirement, but only the comments from the AC month will count. A thread may only be used once for AC.

Do hiatused players need to check-in during AC? Do brand new players?
— Hiatused players do not need to check-in. New players who have not yet entered the game also do not need to check-in. New players who have entered the game but are exempt from AC should still submit a check-in.

If the top post counts as a tag and multiple threads off that starter tag are used, is it only included in the count with the first thread?
— Yes, it is only counted one time.

Say two threads of 11 comments each are submitted for AC (for a total of 22), do the extra 2 comments count toward AP?
— They do not. It's recommended to submit as close to 20 comments as possible so you don't lose out on too many points.

Do inbox comments count toward AP?
— Yes, they count in the same amount that they do for AC.

Do TDM threads need to be more than 5 comments from me to count for AP? Is it every 5?
— TDM threads with at least 5 comments from your character count for 1 AP, and just 5 is okay too! Only 1 AP is awarded for each TDM thread, regardless of length.

If I use threads A and B for AC and I end up backtagging them next month, can I claim the next month's additional comments for AP or is this thread a one-time use only for AC?
— The additional comments may be claimed for AP in future months but may not be claimed for AC in future months. A thread can only be used for AC once.

Can I claim threads that for AP were started in December and then backtagged in January? (Basically, do I have to claim AP the month that I've made it or can I claim an entire thread that was tagged during December and January when I clock in for January AC?)
— You can claim AP from threads at any point in the future, no matter how much time has passed since the thread was started.

If I claim AP on a thread this month and I end up backtagging it, can I claim the new comments? If so, how many times can I claim on this thread if I keep backtagging it in February as well?
— Yes, the new comments can be claimed in the future! Please link from the first "new comment" that is being counted for AP in these instances. There's no limit on how many times you can claim AP on a thread.

[vampirebats]

PLAYER: Chi
CHARACTER: Negan
AC PROOFS: (5 w/Raylan)
AC PROOFS: (6 w/Neal)
AC PROOFS: (11 w/Malcolm)
SUMMARY: Woke up in the Boarding House and had to struggle through all sorts of crazy shenanigans, including helping an injured woman check out creepy noises, keeping doorblocked by another, and stopping Malcolm from destroying all the plates in the kitchen.
RECOMMENDED READING: I'm very partial to the Boarding House thread with Malcolm, personally. I feel like they had good development from that moment of vulnerability.

[villagemod]

AC passed!

[thering]

PLAYER: Scy
CHARACTER: Doc Holliday
AC PROOFS: 17 with John Carter & 15 with Dean Winchester
SUMMARY: He poked around the new house for a couple days, reported his findings to some of 1306 and Number Five, heard Ellie's possible underground passage idea, and met some new folks throughout those few days.

[villagemod]

AC passed!

[aprofoundbond]

PLAYER: Alex
CHARACTER: Castiel
AC PROOFS:
(+7 w/Dean Winchester)
(+8 w/Helen Magnus)
(+4 w/Claire Novak)
(+1 w/Sam Winchester)
SUMMARY: Castiel and Dean talked about their last conversation before Castiel got taken to the Empty in which he confessed his feelings for Dean, argued, and eventually kissed. In the aftermath, they were trying to avoid each other, which became more difficult when they wound up trapped in the New House together soon after. Castiel explored the house, helped Dean with meal preparation and talked about the aftermath of their kissing (he agreed to give Dean time), generally tried to make himself useful, and wound up expending too much of his Grace, exhausting himself to the point where he essentially came down with a cold. Helen Magnus helped him recover, and he sat with her and had a lovely conversation with her.

After, once they were released from the New House, Castiel caught up with Claire Novak back in their house on Phillips Drive and discovered Sam Winchester’s arrival. He got drunk with Claire and then attended the town hall meeting with a hangover, with Dean eventually having pity on him and helping him through said hangover. Castiel is balancing his own feelings and trying to give Dean space, still.
RECOMMENDED READING: His conversations with Dean, both in the New House and at the town meeting, Claire, and Helen Magnus are all worth reading to get a sense of where Castiel is emotionally and mentally at the moment.

AP PROOFS:
(+11 w/Constantine)
(+10 w/Dean)
= 1 AP

[setthetone]

PLAYER: LP
CHARACTER: John Carter
AC PROOFS: (Dean - 13)
AC PROOFS: (Daisy - 7)
SUMMARY:
Carter arrived in the city, met people, freaked out, freaked out some more, and started getting settled in. It's just been an avalanche of information for him - the concept of different worlds, the supernatural, coming back from the dead, people from different times (from the future, mostly, what is up with that), superpowers... He feels just as overwhelmed as on his first day in the ER but he applies the same strategy. Run along, try to swim and not to sink, pretend you know what you're doing and hope that over time it will get better.

Doc and Helen Magnus gave him a bit of a rundown of the town and how it works. While stuck at the New House, he helped patch up Coulson after his attempt of shattering a mirror, talked to Dean and tried to help him through his alcohol withdrawal and attempted to appease the mirror spirits by sacrificing his peanut bar with a bit of his blood in best Fear Street manner. While that didn't do anything he's been having weird dreams since - but it's only been a couple of days so he's putting it down to trauma and being really freaked out by everything he's having to process. He's been working with Helen Magnus, helping her setting up a clinic in her house and raiding the town clinic. Right now he's zoning in on trying to help wherever he can, Daisy Johnson and her injured arms the latest person to be on his doctorly radar.

[abrightboy]

PLAYER: Sarah
CHARACTER: Malcolm Bright
AC PROOFS: (Negan; 12) (Yenn; 7) (Zed; 7) =26 comments
SUMMARY: Trapped in the boarding house, had a psychosis in the kitchen and smashed all their dishes until Negan snapped him out of it. Met all the people trapped there, including some New Ones. Talked to Ellie about vigilante justice in a lawless society. Got home to 1306 to upgrade his restraints after they broke the night before they were taken away. Found out about Doc's 'If I Don't Come Back One Day' letter and that it makes provisions for his care. Got a new sweater. Found out Raylan knew about his crush and maybe wanted some of that affection, in fact. Continued to grow close to Neal. Helped host the 1306 dinner party with the Hargreeves. Gave Klaus pointers on building headboard restraints from the sort of things laying around here.

SUMMARY: Klaus treated his 2 day snowstorm lockdown as a vacation; he spent the time chattering with folks he was trapped with and solidly, completely drunk. He tried to snag some liquor to take with him, but alas, it didn't make it back to the boardinghouse with him. He gave his information at the town hall meeting and put his foot in his mouth too many times to count at the 1306 dinner party.
RECOMMENDED READING: The 1306 dinner party, tbh. It's hilarious.

= 22 comments AC

SUMMARY: Quentin tried every way he knew how, to break out of the Model House. He also shared breakfast with Dean, looked at windows with Doc and met Helen (First woman! Theory about men-only failed). He attended the meeting but spent it making notes and bothering Dean (again). In between, he has been awkwardly trying to help Eliot.
RECOMMENDED READING: Any thread with Dean in it, because that weird combination of Big Brother / weird Quentin, is great. And it allows Quentin to be, well, learning new things and sharing about himself.

[this_ismydesign]

PLAYER: Lae
CHARACTER: Will Graham
AC PROOFS: (17 w/Constantine)
(6 w/Klaus)
SUMMARY: New arrival, struggled a little with accepting that this wasn't a huge hallucination might still struggle at times. Met folks in the Mystery Mansion but was too in shock to do much investigating. Did have an adventure in the Library with Neal and voices down in the stairway to the tunnel. Neal had an adventure with Will being creepy. Secured himself a small house and hosted Raylan and Malcolm for a very uncomfortable (and long) conversation about his history with the FBI and Hannibal.
RECOMMENDED READING: The thread between Raylan and Will in the Mystery Mansion was unsettling and fun! Also the thread with Neal down in the tunnel. There is also a lighter thread with John Cater where Will decides that Carter is a lost puppy.
