Activity Check: December 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.

This month's Activity Check is Check-In Only.

Please fill out the following form by January 3rd at 11:59 PM ET to stay in the game! No thread links are required, but a failure to reply and let us know you're here will count as idling out.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <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. Let us know of NPC threads and/or actions that may result in others around them noticing for the month. Include a brief description and a link if there is one.)

NOTE:

1. There are no event gains for this month's event. Horizon gains are still applicable!


2. Reminder to submit messages, eavesdropping requests, and questions before December 28th or 29th. We'll do our best to accommodate any later submissions, but there's a chance messages and questions to NPCs might not impact the event's Wrap-Up writeup if submitted too late.

Comments

[cointosser]

Player Name: Hannah
Character Name: Jaskier
Notable actions: Jaskier reached out to Quilleth and began brainstorming with Alucard on the construction of a memorial park in Libertas. He will take opinions as part of his regular performances throughout Cadens and Libertas to gather the survivors' opinions on what they would like to see in the memorial (done off-screen).

Character Name: Nero
Notable actions: Nero jumped off the side of the ship on their fun Summoned vacation. He was unhurt, but acted "human" enough to not make the healers question how he survived his "accident."

[philancer]

Player Name: Rynn

Character Name: Sylvain Gautier
Notable actions: Sylvain has been spending as much free time as he can wrangle helping with the relief efforts in Libertas, still pitching in with healing skills and muscles where needed.


Character Name: Natasha Romanoff
Power or physical gain: Horizon Gain: Ice Knife or a similar variation of it.
Notable actions: not sure how notable it is unless the other characters were of a similar persuasion, but Natasha really did seem to pop up almost everywhere on the ship and on the island and always seemed to be conveniently in the vicinity when there were officials and dignitaries gossiping about things. She was putting her spy skills to good use, however, so she was very subtle about it, but if there were others frequently doing the same thing, they might have noticed her appearance nearby a few times on their own eavesdropping adventures.

Character Name: Commander Shepard

[thearchangel]

Player Name: Red
Character Name: Garrus Vakarian

[unwings]

Player Name: Jay
Character Name: Castiel
Power or physical gain: First Horizon visit power! I'd like to give Cas something like Burning Hands: "As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried." Translated in-game, the visual would be a burning light thing, with the same fire-burn effect. Right now, he'll only be able to use it once a day, and the light only lasts about 3 seconds max, so he can't move it or retry if someone dodges.

Notable actions: Cas caught a goose, if that counts? Also, eavesdropped
