Bonus Threads & Activity Rewards
BONUS THREADS
?What are bonus threads?
Outside of their primary AC, players have the option of submitting threads that meet certain criteria as bonus threads, earning points they can put towards various rewards. Bonus threads are the main method of collecting points to go towards new powers and upgrades so be sure to make use of them!
?What threads can I submit as bonus threads?
Bonus threads can come from any posts on the game's main IC comm (![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

With a few exceptions, bonus threads will only need to be five comments long total and you can submit up to five bonus threads per AC period.

?When can I submit bonus threads?
Submissions for bonus threads are permanently opened and submissions are processed on a rolling basis. Bonus threads are eligible for the month they were started and the month following – for example, if you started a thread in January, you would be free to submit it during January or February, after which it would expire.
?What are the criteria for bonus threads?
There are quite a few! The bonus thread criteria are split into two categories – one off and reoccurring.
One off bonus threads reward you for reaching major milestones such as your character's first transformation or their first successful combat encounter. Reoccurring bonus threads reward characters for proactively engaging in the setting and mechanics of the game.
Bonus thread criteria are as follows:
