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: Hannah
Character Name: Jaskier
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Jaskier helping out a newbie Cal with very invaluable advice.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Jill, Jaskier and Clive fighting off the Morbol in Jaskier's domain.
Power or physical gain: Event reward. Stemming off themes that came up in the Morbol thread, and as an extension as his bird and illusionary powers, Jaskier will be able to become a phoenix. The phoenix is an illusion that surrounds him when he is in his bird transformation, with the very real image and sounds of crackling flames around him. However, because of his very real fear of fire magic, it will not be able to hurt, and the flames are not real (though they will create light). It's similar to how birds will puff up when threatened!
Notable actions: Though Jaskier did not really do much fighting himself, he was there to witness the fight between Steve/Geralt/the Thunderjaw, and he also was attacked by the pooka, one of the worms, the dragon, the Faust, and the dokkaebi! Yeah, he's monster bait.

Character Name: Nero
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Nero may have gotten into a big public network fight with Istredd over Lorelei and Esmond.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Because of that fight, Wanda and Nero make plans to go visit the siblings.
Power or physical gain: Event reward. Nero will be able to transform into a dragon resembling the demonic beast (minus the mask), but with four limbs, a curved spine, and the tail he normally has in human form. He can also make miniature versions of his own wings. However, he will only be the size of a forearm. It does not give him any extra power, and per the laws of wild magic and Funny, it will only be controlled by his emotions at first.
Notable actions: On top of killing the demonic beast (and possibly ripping its mask off and returning to Solvunn with it to prove to the natives that gods can die), he was involved in fighting the Faust (which he resonated Arcanas with, and went a little Feral over), the Nichevo'ya with Steve (who is sharing the victory with Nero), fought off the prehistoric hippo with Ivar's wolf-sheep (mentioned off-screen here, and will be fighting the Night Creature with the SPN angels (thread incoming). He also threw his arm into a rift and was destroyed by it rebounding.
