Activity Check-in


Activity Check-in


Polymythos is a check-in only game and has no requirements to make the monthly activity check beyond checking in. While there are opportunities each month to earn points that can be exchanged for in-game rewards, the game has no minimum requirement for its players beyond an interest in and eagerness to remain in the game.

Check-in runs from the 1st to the 7th each month. Because Polymythos is meant to be a casual gaming experience, there is no strike system and the mods will not be providing warnings; failure to check in will result in your character's removal from the game. Players on hiatus are not required to check-in.

Because the game discourages squatting, we would like to remind players that while AC is check-in only, failure to provide adequate proof that a character is making progress or forming connections (read: interacting with the game at large) leaves characters at risk of being removed from the game. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the mod team.



THE POINTS SYSTEM

The (optional, but who doesn't want REWARDS?) point system is meant to encourage activity, community building, and character growth. Each month players have an opportunity to submit posts, top-levels, and threads in exchange for points as well as earn bonus points for threads they feel are significant. (e.g., threads where characters show evidence of growth, threads with new characters/players, etc.)

Earning points:
Top-level or post: 10 points
Network threads: 5 per thread
Log threads: 10 per thread
One per month:
Tag a new person: 5 points
Character growth: 5 points
ScryWatch Color Change: 5 points
(Scrywatch color MUST be previously established.)



Please fill out the form for each month and post using the sample format provided below:

[May]: Anders spent the month getting acquainted with his fellow Travelers and mostly attempting to make connections that might help him escape this (moderately) terrible place. He also had (1) unintentionally honest conversation on the beach, thanks to our big skull friend, and helped fend off some of those pesky zombies with a little fire.

[June]: He's still working on that whole getting out of here thing, maaaybe making some actual allies and at least (1) friend. Also, did pet a lot of kittens.

[October]: Destroyed some effigies, got some quality time in with some friendly faces, and ate a lot of cotton candy and got a (temporary) tattoo with some unintended side-effects, which he wasn't super happy about. But the other stuff was just about approaching real character development; may be in for a change of color soon.

[November]: General mall shenanigans, you know, getting trapped in magic cars and eating terrible food, etc. Maybe learned something new about Sephiroth, how exciting.

[January]: Was generally unhelpful with wardrobe choices and ghost problems, but did manage to get a fair amount of drinking done. Also a little bit of minor life saving on the side, but that's beside the point.

[February]: A much quieter month, more drinking and less murder. He's going to miss islands with this many pubs, rip.
