Congratulations, Champions, and welcome to the official endgame for Round 3 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 9/22.

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 third chapter of a five-part story. As such, not all the questions that you have can or will be answered yet. While the final investigation will be fairly standard, the final trial won't be a literal mastermind trial but rather something completely different and more similar to what went down in round 1.

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 fantastic bunch and we had loads of fun with all of you! We hope to see our dead having a blast in Deadland and our survivors keeping on keeping on into Round 5!

The other order of business is Reserves for Round 4! The reserves will be Saturday, 10/7, with apps due on Friday, 10/13. We have 20 slots open and the game is officially slated to start Monday 10/16.

If you have any questions, comment below. Otherwise, we do ask that all 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 3 or the afterparty log.

Check-in will close at 12 pm EST on Friday (9/8).

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. 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 your character is approached 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.
