All members of Ascendance are required to take part in at least 1 alliance strategic fleet minimum each month. This is tracked by your FORUM account and does not apply to alts.
NO Exceptions! This is a very lenient requirement that leaves plenty of room for IRL issues.
Q: I joined the corporation on the (19th, 27th, 31st, 2ed, 5th, whatever) of the month! When will I need to meet the requirements?
A: Nope. Only pilots who were present for the ENTIRE CALENDAR MONTH are considered. Example: Pilot joined Ascendance on July 2nd, 2015. This pilot will had to have completed paplinks by the final day of September before midnight EVE time (before the EVE time day rolls over to October 1st).
Q: I have like 192 alts in the corp! Some of them can't even fly a combat ship? Are you going to kick my alts?
A: No. The PLAYER is what is considered, not the pilot, as long as you attending fleets on a Ascendance character. If you are able to multibox pvp characters you will receive 1 paplink for each of your characters in fleet towards your forum account.
Q: How do I view my paps?
A: Join the wafflebot jabber Channel and type !me
Q: I see the terms PAP's and StratPAP's being thrown around. Is there a difference? Is one type of fleet less valid than another (mining fleet vs home defense for example), or are all PAPs equal when it comes to participation requirements?
A: Strategic paps are paplinks that count towards the alliance strategic objectives. Peacetime(PCT) paplinks are usually more fun fleets and roams.
Q: I have a question that is not answered here.
A: Contact either an IA officer, or any Director on Discord.
