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: He's mainly been trying to learn what he can about the situation while being deeply skeptical of the Ancient's true motives. Met a bunch of people, some of whom could potentially be allies, maybe. The differing worlds are starting to make him question some assumptions, but just science/magic, not personal beliefs.

JULY: Did some bug murder and I guess helped rescue some stupid teenager. Despite all the flowers, he's been liking this island better- he's been sleeping better and it gave him some sort of blade. He's continued to make baby steps towards friendship, opening up a smidgeon, and may be on the verge of admitting (at least to himself) that he might want friends. Maybe.

SEPTEMBER: Carnival island has been surprisingly good for him?? He rode a horse, and a roller coaster, and he and Anders are forming a club, apparently. The carousel de-aged him to 15, which wound up being the weirdest trust-building exercise, as his acquaintances didn't exploit that. It also reminded him how strong his desire for connection once was, and it's making him reassess some of his current relationships.

October 2021 (Yellow)

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2021-11-01 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
OCTOBER: He organized?? a social event??? wherein he and some friends(?) burned some things, but like in a good, cathartic sort of way. No one got hurt and there may have been some bonding. I am going with that as the reason the Ancient saw fit to give him his beloved stabby. He also got a little chill on cotton candy and allowed some physical and even verbal affection for once, which he will be awkward about later. Got a little protective of Chloe when dealing with vampire!Connor.

NOVEMBER: Got stuck in a car, did some mostly practical shopping, and spent a lot of time in bookstores. (Very glad to have books again!!) He's had to become a little more comfortable asking for help, and may be trying to learn magic from Anders, finally. He also learned something about sexuality?? But David also thinks he's traumatized and that's objectively silly.

DECEMBER: Learned he is not a fan of Christmas music, but managed to do some socializing with friends allies anyway, including learning how to skate. Two very significant points of progress: With Anders' help, he is learning to tap into his innate magic (while still not entirely understanding its origins), and he has come very close to acknowledging Loki as his friend, putting him right on the brink of a color change.

JANUARY: Spent more time in the temple than usual due to the awful disgusting air, did some magic practice. Went to a seance out of curiosity and then got mad when the ghost tried to bring up Hojo. Proceeded to be haunted for the rest of the month having things thrown at him and such. Some of his friends attempted to help him without much success but may have dragged one or two personal details out of him in the process.

FEBRUARY: Had a cool vision of Hojo murder and chilled with friends allies, talked about death and the nature of the islands. May have befriended a cat.
