Activity Check: November 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 November 30th 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 at any time 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 you can still sign up for interrogations as well as vote on whether Luna or Ikorr will open first. Votes for the latter will close by the end of this AC check.

Player Name: Maruah
Character Name: Elidibus
Thread 1 Link + Summary: What is duty? Jon Snow asks questions and Elidibus answers with his perspective.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Elidibus has accepted he still finds some joy in exploring the small pockets of potential adventure that are others' Domains on Horizon. What awaits him in Kahlil's temple but matters of utmost philosophical importance. What flavor of slushee is blue raspberry, when it comes down to it?

Power or physical gain: I have chosen his initial Horizon power. Elidibus will be able to turn his fingers into claws. They do not confer any benefit other than being effective as a weapon if needed and maybe providing extra grip. His fingers might become a bit longer in the process but nothing truly out of proportion.

It will probably take him a bit longer to discover this gain and he is unlikely to make much use of it but that's neither here nor there.

Notes: I realize these threads are very late in the month after a strike but I fully intend on keeping them up. I've got a few more additional feelers and tags out there that haven't gotten a response (yet) and I am definitely getting back to the swing of things. But please let me know if I need any other proofs. Thank you very much.
