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: A big month for Harrow! She has her cavalier back, which makes her even more determined to be a competent human being and an exemplary necromancer than she already was. She also maintained some ... connections to people who may or may not be human which may or may not count as friendship.

But the big thing is that she pulled out what she thought a good Lyctor would, ideally, be doing in a problem and diffused the mantises-eating-people situation. For that I'm proposing a scrywatch recolor to yellow; Harrow, always out for herself, expended effort only to help others.

Points tally:
Top-level or post: A top-level in the original event post (10), Harrow and the Oracle (and the Ancient) (10)
Log threads: Harrow and Malcolm (10), Harrow separating Sephiroth and Gideon before they destroy their weapons (10)
Bonus points: Harrow brokers peace, a scrywatch color change (5)

Month total: 45
Previous total: 80
