ACTIVITY CHECK: OCTOBER 2023

Activity Check: October 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 November 1st 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. September Quests must be turned in at the end of October's AC period to earn your reward.

Player Name: Elizabeth
Character Name: Jon Snow
Thread 1 Link + Summary: A heart to heart with Sandor Clegane
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Bird Problems with Eddie
Thread 3 Link + Summary: Plant Problems with Kyle
Notable actions: Nothing super exciting! Jon is along for the ride this time. He voted yes on helping with the dragons, bought a dragonglass dagger, didn't catch the elusive dragonet, but did babysit some of them for a while. His roasting techniques are fine but would not have impressed anyone.

As a side note, I worked on making progress on threads from the August event; I dropped a thread from last month's AC only because, as far as I know, the other character is not in the game anymore.

Thread 2 Link + Summary: James has a little too much fun teasing Kyle while sharing a bath in the magma pools

My currently-active threads are a little shorter than usual due to some life factors teaming up to punch me in the face, but I didn't want to hiatus when I knew I'd be around later in the month and I have a bunch of threads started up. November should be back to a more regular tagging schedule.

While there, he assisted with the wild boars and ended up butchering them for the meal and keeping some of their skin, hooves, and offal. (Some of the entrails will be set out for Cadaevos if that's okay, but since he doesn't know what he's doing he won't be using a shrine.)
