Activity Check: October 2022

It's time for activity check! Activity requirements are outlined below. If you have any additional questions, you can reach out to us on the FAQ.

View Activity Requirements

• Players will be required to link at minimum two threads with a brief summary of what each thread entails. Some months will have specific goals or events where linking extra threads related to those plots will result in extra rewards.


• There is no minimum comment count for linked threads, but we do ask that the threads indicate some level of interactivity with another player. We understand that sometimes threads are started late in the month, or are slow for reasons of conflicting availability between individual players, and so on. If we notice a pattern of making threads to fulfill the AC requirements and ignoring responses, or dropping threads as soon as AC is approved, we will have an individual discussion with the player in question.


• TDM threads, network threads, and inbox threads are acceptable as proofs for AC, but should not make up the total of both proofs (i.e. your two thread proofs submitted for AC cannot consist only of inbox threads). Further, at least one proof should be a log thread - both proofs cannot be network-style comment spam.


• Backdated threads from the previous month are acceptable, so long as the comments linked take place during the current AC month and the thread has not been used for a previous AC or for AC rewards. Backdated threads that were started at the end of the previous month are especially fine. If we notice a consistent pattern of backdated threads started at the beginning of the previous month with very sparse comments or regularly dropped threads, then we may have an individual discussion with the player in question.


• If you plan on using additional threads in a log post or top level to purchase bonus Activity Rewards, please link individual threads when filling out the main Activity Check rather than the entire top level or log, to help us keep track which thread has already been submitted where.


• You may hiatus once every four months (so, once you use a hiatus, you must make activity for the next three months). If you have extenuating RL circumstances that would require you to hiatus more, please contact the mods. There are no strikes separate from hiatuses, but you are not required to hiatus in advance of AC so if you find yourself without the necessary activity you can use your hiatus pass.


• Failing to post to AC before closure will count as idling out. If you think you'll be unable to post during this time period or extenuating RL circumstances prevented you from posting please contact the mods.

Please fill out the following form by October 31st at 11:59 PM ET to stay in the game! Failure to reply will count as idling out.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Thread 1 Link + Summary:</b> <b>Thread 2 Link + Summary:</b> <b>Faction:</b> Fill this in only if 1) this is your first time submitting AC for the character; or 2) your character's faction has changed since the last AC round <b>Power or physical gain:</b> Either from the Horizon or event rewards. Please note you can only submit ONE gain request per AC period, but the choice is yours as to which one you want to claim first. <b>Notable actions:</b> (If applicable) NPC threads and/or actions that may result in others around them noticing (for this month). Include a brief description and a link if there is one

If you are passing with a hiatus or a strike, please use this form instead:

<b>Hiatus/Strike</b> <b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Faction</b> Fill this in only if 1) this is your first time submitting AC for the character; or 2) your character's faction has changed since the last AC round <b>Power or physical gain:</b> Either from the Horizon or event rewards

NOTE:

1. If you participated in October's event, you can request a reward gain during this Activity Check or November's before the next event in December. See Reward Gains for more information. Though not required, we encourage players to consider a gain that reflects their experiences during the event!


2. Reminder that completed Quests must be turned in before the end of October's Activity Check period. If a situation arises where the threads cannot be completed by the deadline, you can reach out to us and we'll do our best to find a solution.


3. As per this announcement, Activity Check for December will be check-in only for the holidays! Additionally, the TDM will be arriving November 5th for this round, with applications opening November 17th.

Player Name: noa
Character Name: geralt of rivia
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one; a really pleasant time trapped in the labyrinth featuring trauma, death visions, and hellhounds
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two; Geralt visits Alucard briefly at his desert crypt to get away from the city and its people.

Power or physical gain: Geralt can summon a wolf's howl in another direction to serve as a distraction. If anyone investigates the source of the noise, they'll find an eerie sign of a wolf in the area like bloodstains or the carcass of a small animal. These signs will fade after 10 minutes.

Notable actions: Not much this month! Geralt spent a good chunk of his time in the Horizon and avoided all the fuckery that was going on in the cities.
