Hey guys - it's that time again! For Asgard's AC, players need to check in and provide their own activity. Using one of the two forms below, please post a comment to this entry. All players must comment, even if their character is exempt. Characters who aren't posted at all during the AC period will be dropped from the game. Characters whose journals have joined the comms but who haven't posted on the taken list will also be removed. If you got accepted with a character but didn't ever join the comms / post to the lists, you no longer have claim on that character as of the end of AC.

Exemptions to AC requirements will be made for the following:

• Characters who have been on hiatus for at least two weeks of the month.
• Characters who were accepted during the current AC round,
• Characters whose muns have serious extenuating circumstances and have talked to the mods about them (as in, if your Grandma died or you had no net access or something, we'll work with you - please talk to us!)

If you are on hiatus during the entire AC period, you will be given an extension on commenting until the end of your hiatus. You must comment here within 48 hours of your hiatus ending in order to pass AC. For this rule and for AC exemption, your hiatus has to have been posted on the official hiatus page. Hiatuses only posted in the OOC comm or not posted at all don't count.

The activity requirement for non-exempt characters is 30 comments from your character across at least 3 different posts. For more clarification on these requirements, please refer to this post.

Also required on months with a game-wide HMD will be a link to your comment on the HMD meme. If you didn't comment to HMD during the posted dates, you'll automatically receive a strike. (This IS NOT required for April.)

Characters who don't have enough activity will also receive a strike. This strike will be erased by two months of passing AC. If you receive a strike in April, it will last through May and June, but will not apply in July. Characters who receive two strikes will be dropped from the game. In other words, characters who fail activity twice in three months will be removed. Essentially you get a second chance if you fall behind once, so make use of it when you can. If you wish to take a strike on purpose, you still have to comment to this entry. You can use the non-exempt forms and in place of links to proofs, just tell us you're here but want a strike for that character.

In short, all characters in the game need to be posted to this entry, but exempt ones don't have to post links and ones without enough activity can take a strike and stay in the game. Exempt characters are welcome to post activity if they have it, though -- it won't count against them not to, but it might make your proofs a little easier to find for Leveling Up! That said, please select the proper form and reply to this entry.

Hey, guys! Faith here with your monthly event rundown coming a bit earlier than usual to give you plenty of time to read and prepare for the upcoming events. May has been affectionately titled Hell Month, so with that in mind, we are going to give in to our malevolent overlords and jump right into things.

As always, your monthly schedule can be found over here.

For May, we have two major plot events running for the full length of the month. You must choose one event to participate in, as the opt-out for the main plot event will take the Travellers outside of Asgard for the entirety of the month. Once the events have begun, you will not be able to switch sides. This means that whichever plot you choose, you must be prepared to commit to it! Give it your full consideration and please don't hesitate to ask us if you have any questions or concerns at any point.

All characters must be signed up for participation in one of the two events by May 1. Sign-ups will be in the comments section of this page, and anyone that has not responded by May 1 will be automatically assigned to the main plot event.

To make things a little bit easier on the eyes, I'm going to go ahead and give a brief outline of the events here for you to get a preview of both, and the full event rundown will be on individual posts so that you don't have a novel to read through. I'm generous like that!

PLOT EVENT: Something Ominous ( May 1-31 / Days 441-456 )

Yggdrasil's collapse is reaching a fever pitch and bringing the decay right into the heart of Asgard. Those that remain in the Holy City for this month will struggle with disappearances, memory loss, memory gain, and other various horrible things. Every week will introduce a new feature for you guys to play with, and by the last week, all four will be occurring at random in one major clusterfuck centering around the idea of collapse.

There will special volunteer positions available to original characters and characters accepted during May's application period.

This event seeks to be the final motivating push for the Travellers to move into the militarisation of the city, as decided by player poll back in January. It's the final boot towards action, so it's going to be a heavy one!

The full event rundown for Something Ominous can be found here.

OPT-OUT EVENT: Something Significant ( April 30-May 31 / Days 441-456 )

Following the special volunteer plot from LOCUSTS!, a few Travellers will be coordinating a covert trip to Ginnungagap in search of answers to a cryptic message Odin left in his office. This trip will not be god-sanctioned, which means that travel will be slow, labyrinthine, and potentially fatal. Any Travellers that visited Ginnungagap previously with Honir and Mimir during the Down This Road event may want to offer their experience to help find Laufey's fallen kingdom, but without the gods there to light the path, it may well end in failure. This plot will also deal with some magic, so any Travellers well versed in runic magic may be interested in going alone on this one as well.

Participating in this event comes with a mandatory death-roll, meaning that your character will automatically be entered into a pool to die at some point throughout the event. We will be using RNG to select one-third of the participants for death. There will be special volunteer positions available to three randomly chosen characters out of those drawn for death.

This event contains a plot reveal that will play a very large role in the build-up to endgame and lead to some highly significant player choices to come. It will be a slow-burner, however, so payoff will not come immediately.

The full event rundown for Something Significant can be found here.

As previously stated, all characters must be signed up for one of the two events by May 1. Sign ups are below; you simply have to respond with your name so we know how many people will be where for each event. All player plotting should go on your respective event rundown page to keep the two events separate and easier to navigate.

Remember to fill out your AC, and get your friends prepared for May's application period! We have a real treat waiting for them. Let us know if you have any questions / comments / concerns / dirty jokes in the comments section below!

This post will have all of the details for May's Plot Event, Something Ominous. Make sure to read through it if you're interested in participating in this event, as you will not be able to change to the opt-out event after May 1. If you're certain you want to participate in this event, please sign-up over here.

For your ease, the plot Fast Facts are going to be posted before the full rundown:

( Fast Facts Summary )

( May 1-31: Something Ominous )

And that's Hell Month in Asgard! Remember, if you participate in this event, you cannot participate in the opt-out event. Sign-ups for both events end on May 1; anyone that has not responded by then will automatically be assigned to remain in Asgard for the month of May. Sign-ups for Something Ominous can be found over here. Let us know if you have any questions in the comments section below!

This post will have all of the details for May's Opt-Out Event, Something Significant.

Hey guys!

I've been having trouble with Jaime's posts for a while, and I think it's time to concede defeat. I was planning on holding off for a few weeks, but May is looking like a crazy month for game stuff, so sooner seems better than later. 

I'll still be around with Dumbledore, and possibly apping in someone else this month as well. Jaime would've left some folks stuff, a list of which can be found here. If there's anything that you want or need to handwave out, please just let me know!

Thank you all for being so welcoming, especially my lovely cast. I really enjoyed all the weird and wonderful CR that developed. ♥
