ACTIVITY CHECK: FEBRUARY 2023

Activity Check: February 2023
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, since we understand that sometimes threads were started late in the month or are slow for reasons of conflicting availability. That said, we are not a check-in AC game. Submitted threads should indicate some interactivity with another player, and we expect a certain level of overall engagement with the game's plot and playerbase. If we notice a pattern of responding to threads only after the AC post has gone up, making threads solely to fulfill AC requirements, or frequently dropped threads (especially after 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 March 3rd at 11:59 PM ET to stay in the game! Failure to reply will count as idling out.



If you are using your Hiatus/Strike, please use this form instead:




NOTE:
  1. The deadline for completed Quests has been extended by one month to the end of the March AC period. Since the current event is demanding and there will be no quests in March, we hope this will allow you more time to wrap things up!

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

  3. New submissions for Plot Engagement are currently closed. They'll open again at the end of March.

Character Name: Geralt of Rivia
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one; giving Ciri a little tour of his new horizon addition.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two; doing a little time with the homie. against his will, he was forced to learn about sharknado.
Notable actions: Geralt spent about 2 days in jail, and Jaskier's arrival to get him out wasn't the most subtle (involving a good chunk of gold). He has an official record now, I guess, but luckily Geralt is not applying for any jobs that need a background check.

Also he got kidnapped with some of the others. He was one of the first yoinked.


Character Name: Reno
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one; finding Sam (Wilson) on the network after all the kidnapping stuff.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two; investigating Nott with Thancred because he's bored
Power or physical gain: From the Horizon: the ability to imbue something he's holding with a bit of lightning/electric charge, as long as the material is conductive. I'm just looking for him to replicate his electro-mag rod (here) which works like a cattle prod/taser if he can get his hands on a metal rod of some kind down the line. It gives a nasty shock, but that's about it.
Notable actions: Reno's kept to himself originally, but since the kidnappings he's put himself out there more.
