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.)

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.

But she did not slap little Gideon, and so she gets a few character development points for that.
October 2021 (Yellow)
(next month, my check-ins will be less lazy and include links I promise)
November 2021 (Yellow)
Spending another month here means she's going to get to use all her ridiculous maps, and I am very excited for that, since unlike in November I actually have time to RP! Mostly she didn't socialize a whole lot in November. She laid low. She mapped. She knows everything so we--what do you mean some of it changed.
(A secret, though: she loves to ice skate.)
December 2021 (Yellow)
The mapping continued.
She is in a backscened fight with Gideon about her sword, which might have actual character development, and I am in the midst of writing a TL so she isn't completely going unplayed—December was a little scary for Harrow, because of the fact that there were a lot of unknowns, but she got to ice skate, and that is a beautiful thing. (Also Hot Topic.)

Living the life she'd always wanted to be able to live, basically, so she's gotten a nice mental recharge and is ready to spend September making connections.
September 2021 (Green)
I will really tag out with her this month more than once, too!
October 2021
However, this girl just loved the setting. She's sad that her skull and flowers tattoo won't last, and may need to find a way to do it in the mall, does November's mall have a tattoo parlor, is that even a thing, wouldn't that be cool? (We'll ask.) She did it quietly largely because her player wasn't able to be as outgoing, having hiatused in every other game, but she did still continue to revel in her ability to explore things. She has Schemed somewhat. She has Plans.
November 2021 (Green)
Even if the Black Friday zombies had a chance to take her out.
Her hiding skills are improving. Her eyeing the stores she didn't get to shop at yet and wishing she could find ways to transport more stuff? Utterly scintillating. She has collected more interesting things than she can keep on her person between islands. She is now starting to pick out gifts for anyone she's ever spoken to and random strangers, if you're a Traveler you might just get handed a Dulcie present in December ...
December 2021 (Green)
Dulcie is distressed that she couldn't keep everything she grabbed at the mall, but she has so many more clothes now that she may never get to use because they won't fit in to other islands; she had the most wonderful time, even if she wished Santa had sent her a person, and that didn't end up happening. Tagging out with her asap this month!
