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.)

QUIRE

[quire]

May 2021

[quire]

[May]: Quentin got thrown out of the temple for touching things, initially refused to comply with the rules for getting his mask off, made life hard for the bartenders, put on a one man show called Quentin v. himself in which he attempted harakiri in front of a new friend. After a few drinks he obstinately decided to work on his tan. He also shared some literary knowledge with Loki in an effort to make Batman mad.

June 2021

[quire]

[June]: Ever the contrarian Quentin spent his time this month asking a lot of question on the network. Trying to figure out this place while at the same time not giving anyone the impression he actually cares is a difficult line to toe. He met Deadpool with whom he lamented their missing friend— a land shark named Jeff— and tried to ease him off the sauce. He made to help She Hulk find some clothes and most true to form, he hatched a plan with Loki to overthrow their Yellow keeper.

July 2021

[quire]

[July]: Quentin figured out how to communicate with some giant bugs, met another friend from home, helped a friend control their anxiety, committed to a D&D club, had an enlightening conversation with a fellow super-hero, and of course tested his luck with the flower oracle which only frustrated him further. Natch.

August 2021

[quire]

[August]: Quentin became convinced the plants were mocking him, attempted some horticultural terrorism in the toxic garden, tried to poll the travellers to prove the oracle wrong, made it to 2nd base, briefly admitted that he might not be kind of a pretty asshole and helped a FWB justify their own crappy behaviour.

September 2021

[quire]

[September]: Quentin did pretty good all month, mostly by getting closer with Kyle and not being completely self centered when a promising relationship is at stake. His pride and argumentative nature did make him regress briefly with an unruly child, but some amount of empathy let him stop just short of being a total monster.

October 2021

[quire]

[October]: Quentin did a few good things but hasn't really noticed he might have erred on the side of being a better person this month. He helped Carter out of a bad situation and bonded with him over a weirdly similar adolescence as a burgeoning telepath of considerable power. He also offered to help both Carter and David expand their skills as telepaths. He might have gotten a little carried away with all the candy, and there was one unfortunate incident involving a stolen waistcoat but over all his actions amount to that of a much more caring person than usual. Don't tell him that.

November 2021

[quire]

[November]: Quentin did some terrible things to a horde of mindless shoppers but he also helped both an acquaintance and a stranger just because as well as wrestled with his conflicted feelings about going home.

December 2021

[quire]

[December]: Quentin probably should have told his bf about the black Friday incident— but didn't. Realized he secretly kind of wants advice on dating humans from another mutant with a Kyle fetish— but said nothing. And almost went super villain on the mall Santa which would definitely have cost him a colour if not for someone's intervention. Not a great holiday for orphan boys.

January 2022

[quire]

[January:] Quentin did some bad things for good reason this month. He developed a new conspiracy theory about what happens when your ScryWatch turns red. He entrepreneured his way into a leadership role over a Dickensian gang of street kids turned grave robbers. He bought property to gift his pals indoor plumbing, he helped David practice some psionic skills and narrowly avoided a ripper encounter at a spa day with Roxy.

February 2022

[quire]

[February]: Quentin had a busy and ethically confusing month. On the one hand, he built quite a grave robbing business and outsourced much of the work to a plucky gang of orphans— on the other hand he treated the orphans pretty well and gifted them all their gains when he left.

He used his powers for decidedly awful things— but then again he only did so against a known serial killer in the name of defending and caring for his friends and Dickensian child posse.

His scrywatch probably overclocked trying to make all those calculations but in the end he came out of it all the same colour he went into it.
