August 'Activity Check'/Skill Claims!

Welcome to the Activity Check for Synodiporia!
For the remainder of the game’s run, players are only required to submit activity if they want to claim skills, or if they hold a plot role in the final jaunt.


To gain a skill, you must turn in
A total of thirty comments in two or more comment threads.
For jaunt skills, at least one of these should mention the character’s interest in or practice of the skill in question (this is not required for Liminal, Psychic Network, Hybrid, or Combo skills). Psychic Network Skills are listed here, Liminal Skills are listed here, Hybrid Skills are listed here, Favor Skills are listed here, and Combo Skills are listed here.

To gain additional skills, you must turn in
A total of forty-five comments in three or more comment threads.
From now to the end of the final jaunt, players may claim another skill for every fifteen comments past the initial 30 (i.e. 45, 60, 75, so on).
We are also not enforcing the previous requirement for character-taught skills. Go nuts!

As above, the thread proof should mention the character’s interest in or practice of the skill in question (though this is not required for Liminal, Psychic Network, Hybrid, or Combo skills). Psychic Network Skills are listed here, Liminal Skills are listed here, Hybrid Skills are listed here, Favor Skills are listed here,and Combo Skills are listed here. For more information on Skill AC, see here.
As we enter endgame, thread proofs dated from the October 2019 Liminal Salon and onward may be used in any AC submission, regardless of how far back the thread is.

All of your comments must have been made in the current AC period, but the thread itself could have been started at any time in the last sixty days. At least one thread submitted for activity needs to have been started within the current activity period.

Backtagging is fine with us (and we most definitely encourage it!), but we do want you to be involved in current events! Using more than one thread within the same post is acceptable, but if you have more than thirty comments in one single thread, you still need a separate thread. If you made the initial post, it may count as one comment towards the total thread length.

To drop a skill, you must have made Skill AC for the month, and may need to meet a few other qualifications. If you're interested in cutting a skill from your character's arsenal, report it here.

If you made single or double skill activity, comment using the correct character journal under the top-level thread labeled AUGUST ● Skill AC. The AC and Skill mods will do all the rest!

Skill Activity


Tags submitted for AC tally must be posted to the comms no later than August 31st at 11:59 PM CST/September 1st at 5:59 AM GMT. We ask players to submit their AC for tallying by September 5TH if possible, for the convenience of the AC mods, who begin tallying as soon as the first of the new month. Late AC submissions are accepted, provided all tags submitted for tallying were posted to the comms before the 31st; reminders will be sent to late players as needed. This month’s ACSavior report is available here.


For more information regarding the activity policies here at Synodiporia, please read through the Activity Policies page.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to leave them in the appropriate thread located here and we'll get back to you ASAP.
