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:

July 2021 (Yellow)

[July]: David arrived in the PM setting, and during this time he came to meet and form connections with a number of people. In the mean time he was privately nursing his own recent traumas and dark secrets, both from his life in MoM and back home. He attempted to help the child 'captured' by the Mantises, only to find the situation already addressed by others. He also started trying to cook for others to calm himself. Ultimately, upon hearing that the Oracle might have answers for them, he prepared an offering of his own blood for her in return for answering a question of whether he might be able to regain his most precious memories. When he got an affirmative he had a small (though joyful) emotional breakdown. He has resolved, with Jean-Paul's help, to try and solve the question of how to regain his memories. No ScryWatch change.
