Activity Check: August 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

You'll be required to submit a minimum of two threads with a brief summary of what each thread entails. While there's no minimum comment count for linked threads, please note the following:

• Interactivity with other players and overall engagement is important. We haven't implemented a minimum comment count since we understand threads might be 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 demonstrate a level of interaction with the game, its plot, and the wider 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). 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.


• Link individual threads rather than entire logs or top levels if you plan on using any additional threads in those logs or top levels to purchase bonus Activity Rewards (see below). This will help us keep keep track which thread has already been submitted where.


• All players are expected to reply, including if they've submitted a hiatus. 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 circumstances prevented you from posting please contact the mods.

Please fill out the following form by August 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>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.)

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


<b>Hiatus/Strike</b> <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.)

NOTE:

1. A reminder that Fortunes can be requested for anyone who participated in two events.
2. Activity Rewards requests will be approved at the end of every month.
3. If you participated in Event #14, you can request a reward gain during any Activity Check before the start of the next main event in October. Though not required, we encourage players to consider a gain that reflects their experiences throughout the event! See Reward Gains for details.

Player Name: Heather
Character Name: Lucifer
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Don't try and probe the devil's mind, Kelson.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Nikolai thinks it's a good idea to tell the queen a joke that may or may not be about her and y'know, good for you kid, good luck, maybe you'll be fine.

Power or physical gain: Bestial Shield. Okay so like. Hear me out. A temporary shield manifests on its own, no control of Lucifer, during combat. Likely not very durable.

But the shield is made up out of parts depending on a creature he "bonds" with. Eventually, maybe, it changes out (could be via AC Rewards/Gain Change) if he connects with another monster, but at the moment it's the myriapod's carapace due to him absorbing/connecting with it via the Devil's arcana.

So basically a shield that looks monstrous but not very sturdy and likely disappears relatively fast.

Notable Actions: (Annoyingly) aided in "enchanting" glasses for Thorne to go against the hellhounds. Aided in taking down the myriapod with Istredd and Yennefer, though he had succumbed to the beast for most of the fight.
