Congratulations, Champions, and welcome to the official endgame for Round 2 of Airlocked! We have a few announcements for you with regard to how things are going to play out over the next few days.

As you’ve noticed, we've officially moved to a 2:1 OOC:IC day schedule for endgame, including the weekly log. This means that this week's weekly log only has Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and that ICly the final investigation itself will be on Wednesday. OOCly, you guys have Sunday-Thursday to tag the weekly log, and as usual the final investigation will go up on Friday 7/7.

There is no AC post this week and the final investigation will require 100% participation in order to pass the activity/OOC portion of the final investigation.

Secondly, please remember that this is the second chapter of a five-part story. As such, not all the questions that you have can or will be answered yet. Unlike round 1 there will be a final trial this Saturday 7/8 so we ask that you all plan accordingly!

We hope that we can give you a satisfactory ending to this chapter.. We’d also like to throw out an enormous THANK YOU to all our players this round! You guys have been a dream to mod for (so much so that it got to the point where WE didn't want anyone else to die) and we hope to see our dead having a blast in Deadland and our survivors keeping on keeping on into Round 5!

Additionally, since the Convention mini-event was such a blast, we have two more mini-events planned for the interim between rounds 2 and 3! The first one, which will start on Tuesday 7/11 and run through Sunday 7/15! If this seems a little bit short notice, well, never fear! The survivors do get a little bit of a break because this first event is for Deadland only! The next event, which will be the week after from Tuesday 7/18 through Sunday 7/22, will be for the combined survivor pools of Rounds 1 and 2. More information on these events will be available after the end of the round.

The other order of business is Reserves for Round 3! The reserves will be Saturday, 8/5, with apps due on Friday, 8/11. The game is officially slated to start Monday 8/14, and will run for seven weeks, with endgame weekend being the weekend of 9/29.

If you have any questions, comment below. Otherwise, we do ask that all 10 survivors leave a comment acknowledging that they have read this post.

It's that time, everyone! Weekly check-in!

Living characters must submit two ten-comment threads with two different characters per week. Dead characters need only comment to check-in as a formality. Threads must be from week 5.

Check-in will close at 12 pm EST on Friday (6/23).

As a reminder we will also be awarding incentives as a reward for checking in on time! Submitting the minimum amount of comments for both threads (20 comments total) characters will receive one free item from the Benefactors. This is essentially the same as a free roll for the Benefactors' Hold. For another 30 comments (50 total), characters will receive a Sabotage/Boon from the Overseers. If you're a total all-star and turn in two threads that total 100 comments (or 50 from your character) in one week, you get a one-time Shield Token. This means if the Overseers approach your character with a Sabotage, you can spend the shield token to bounce that sabotage back on the character who targeted yours. Each character cannot hold more than one Shield Token at a time, and they cannot earn more than two Shield Tokens over the course of the game. The mods will reply to your AC with what rewards you have earned.

AC threads may come from the weekly mingle log or any player-posted logs from the check period, but since the trials have their own activity requirements they are ineligible for the activity check. When submitting your comments please add the number of total comments in the threads at the time of submission as this makes it quicker and easier for the mods to calculate if a Boon or Sabotage has been earned. On that note, remember that in order to earn a Boon or Sabotage you must have your AC in by 5 pm EST on the Tuesday of that week.

Failure to meet AC without informing the mods will result in a strike. Two weeks in a row will result in an automatic death roll. AC will go up on Sundays for the previous Sunday-Friday, and will close at 12:00 pm (EST) on the following Friday. Activity checks will be screened, to preserve some sense of secrecy for the distribution of Boons and Sabotages.

Gooood evening, everyone! It's Monday night and do you know what time it is? That's right, it's time for an OOC Motive Announcement!

Tomorrow (6/6) around 1 pm PAL is going to initiate a motive where Champions' powers will be transferred to someone else for the remainder of the week. Due to the number of naturally non-powered characters in-game, not everyone will be receiving a powerswap this week and we are very sorry about that. In the future any motives requiring pre-motive announcements will hopefully be able to include everyone. We encourage players who are receiving powers to get in touch with the players of the characters who originated the powers if they're unclear of how they work!

And now [drum roll] the list!:

Ardyn is getting Arianna's powers.

Yuuri is getting Heart's powers.

Junpei is getting Ardyn's powers.

Rhys is unpowered.

Nari is unpowered.

Arianna is unpowered.

Church is unpowered.

Choromatsu is getting Nari's powers.

Heart is getting Church's powers.

Angel is unpowered.

Clarith is getting Mikaela's powers.

Nishitani is getting Queenie's powers.

Takumi is getting Mai's powers.

Mary is getting Roland's powers.

Roland is unpowered.

Queenie is getting Angel's powers.
