ACTIVITY CHECK: DECEMBER 2021

It's time for activity check, so please check the FAQ if you are confused about any requirements.

Please fill out the following form by January 4th 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>Faction:</b> Fill this in only if 1) this is your first time submitting AC for the character; or 2) your character's faction has changed since the last AC round <b>Power or physical gain:</b> Either from the Horizon or event rewards <b>Notable actions:</b> (If applicable) NPC threads and/or actions that may result in others around them noticing (for this month). Include a brief description and a link if there is one</b>

If you are passing with a hiatus or a strike, please use this form instead:

<b>Hiatus/Strike</b> <b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Faction</b> Fill this in only if 1) this is your first time submitting AC for the character; or 2) your character's faction has changed since the last AC round <b>Power or physical gain:</b> Either from the Horizon or event rewards

NOTE: Some changes have been made to the AC form.

1. You will only need to fill out your faction if it's your first time submitting Activity Check for that particular character or if your character's faction has changed since the last Activity Check


2. We've added a Notable Actions section where you can describe and link anything your character has done for the month that would be of note to either us mods or the playerbase at large, such as NPC interactions or actions taken that would cause some attention among those around them. Examples include local performances of note (a play, a magic show), inconveniences (a flock of sheep was set loose through the settlement), etc. These will be included in our upcoming State of the Game post to keep all players informed!

Just as a reminder, character inbox thread are considered acceptable activity so long as both are not exclusively in character inboxes. You may submit threads from the previous month as long as the comments being linked take place in the current month and that the thread has not been used for a previous Activity Check already.

Player Name: Jen
Character Name: Stephen Strange
Faction: Thorne
Power or physical gain: For his first Horizon visit, Stephen is granted the attribute of what is basically Truesight. This gives him the ability to see through darkness both normal and magical, and generally perceive objects and people as they truly are. For example, recognizing visual illusions (especially those meant to hide or deceive), perceiving invisible objects/people/creatures as long as he has a clear line of sight, or seeing the true form of something transformed by magic.
Notable actions: Participated in the Dimming event for Thorne, but failed to deliver a casket to the Singularity. (Sad trombone.) Assessed the state of the Singularity before and after it had been fed another character’s casket. (Still to be threaded!)

Apologies for the delay!

Unfortunately Truesight as it is presented is a little too powerful for a Horizon gain, with too much potential to reveal mod plot points and NPC secrets, but a scaled back or lower level version would be doable. Something like being able to see through darkness without the other abilities, for example, or a version of Truesight where he can recognize something is an illusion or otherwise effected by magic without being able to penetrate it entirely.

Or feel free to go for something entirely different but at the same level!

Hi mods! No worries! I’m totally fine with scaling this back; I initially wasn’t sure if it was a little too strong to begin with or not, so thank you for the clarification.

Limiting it to Stephen only being able to tell when there is an illusion in place, or when something is visually affected by magic, works for me!

Accepted & Happy New Year!
