ACTIVITY CHECK: SEPTEMBER 2023

Activity Check: September 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 September 30th 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. Activity Rewards requests will be approved at the end of every month.
  2. 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: Lina
Character Name: Finn
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Istredd - Meeting the guy in his Horizon and being attacked by a kitten thing.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Wanda - Meeting his friend's gf and immediately getting super intimidated.

Power or physical gain: Finn's first visit to the Horizon included running into the beast that shared his sign, the Rancor, which made him go into a rage and chase his friend down to attack her (sorry, Hilda). So, I'd like for him to get a sort of physical gain for this event. In high stress situations particularly, I'd like for him to temporarily gain armored hide like a rancor. The hide can withstand most firearms and some blades but isn't perfect by any means. As a side effect, I'd also like him to gain the rage temperament of a rancor while this transformation is in use. With time, I want him to control when and how he can use the ability, but the emotional side effect will be much more difficult for him to handle. We'll see what happens there. Tl;dr: Armored skin every now and then that comes with a huge dose of uncontrollable anger.

Notable actions: Went to Istredd's Horizon meeting and mingled. Also doing the coral cultivation quest with James.

Character Name: Gabriel
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Being helpful by keeping Nate from being eaten
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Chaotic trio versus the Night Creature.
Power or physical gain: For the event this time, I have thought about this literally only this moment so feel free to tell me it doesn't work: I want him to be able to make the ground shake with his footsteps if he chooses. Nothing super strong, not like earthquakes or anything, but more like Jurassic Park where it just makes things shake enough to cause ripples and add dramatic ominous ambiance. He would mostly just use this for trolling lbr but I feel like that suits him and this ties into the night creature fight thread.
Notable actions: N/A for Gabriel

Notable actions: Al and Hilda's little hosting of Grimoire is a part of their quest participation, but also a means of expanding the use of the Hall for more than simply nighttime events.

Power or physical gain: feather fall!

Character Name: yennefer of vengerberg
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Yen + Jaskier; find each other after their canon update.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Yen + Stephen; discussing a return of power and a shift in the castle.
Power or physical gain: building off her fight with the myriapod and what she's been studying over the last few months/year, I'd like to give Yennefer a version of 'detect magic' where she can, if she focuses, learn if something (of magical origin, so a spell or enchantment) is from Abraxas versus a different world, if it's from Abraxas what type of magic, and (possibly, if she keeps working up to it) if it's magic that is done via the Singularity versus if it's a Summoned Mage, or even an Abraxas mage. This would also make sense for her given the year+ she's been working with learning all she can about Abraxan magic (since she has been without her own) with a particular focus on Alchemy, Herbology, and Academic magic. She's also been teaching any/every Summoned who wants to take lessons, so she's been learning about magic from other spheres as well. I'd like this to be something that she has to work on/practice for some time, but she'll already have a basis with her own chaos allowing her to detect if a spell has been cast at all.

Character Name: Jill Warrick
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one; jill + thancred; general wonderment at a giant metal slime
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two; jill + dion; (tdm) discuss second chances and magic
Power or physical gain: Power Gain from August -- Jill can turn about a cup worth of metal into a liquid substance and proceed to use it in a matter similar to waterbending from ATLA; it's easy to carry around with her in a small drinking pouch, and can be manipulated into various shapes and hardness. I would eventually like to have her turn larger and larger amounts of metal into the substance and use it to create any number of shapes/items but I imagine this will be a gradual process.
Notable actions: Monster fighting, but other than that, none!

Player Name: Arboria
Character Name: Claude von Riegan
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Fought the Faust with Jaskier and Geralt.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: How to bribe a giant metal slime with Jasper.
Power or physical gain: Event gain from August! I'd like to give him a modified version of Wyvern Watch. The illusion conjured appears as a vague wyvern shape from the corner of someone's eye but disappears when looked at directly. It'll alert him to the presence of someone passing by within 5 feet but not who and is meant to serve as a magical motion detector only. Claude needs to be somewhat in its vicinity to be alerted (equivalent to being in the same building). It will dissipate either after sending the warning or after 10-15 minutes. With long term practice over several months before either would be possible, the time it lasts before fading out will increase in 5 minute increments or so and he can maintain it/be alerted from slightly farther away in Cadens. If any part of this needs to be scaled back and/or upgraded with future event gains instead I'm happy to adjust!
Notable actions: Aside from volunteering with the aftermath of the rift fights, Claude and Jayden teamed up to deliver curios to the orphanage he volunteers at in Libertas.
