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 2021 (Orange, he has settled on Orange)

[personal profile] what_fourth_wall 2021-06-04 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
MAY: This month, Deadpool bothered a bunch of people, tested the boundaries of this reality by attempting to kill a few guardians (and failing), and got his hand blown off TWICE for attempting to send videos through the Scrywatch. His deeper moments were with Jen when he helped her admit she didn't want to leave this place and with Kyle where he may have made a new friend? At the very least, he gave up on a suicide attempt to save Kyle from some zombies and helped Kyle have his own realization with the beach skull.

June 2021 (Red as a Baboon's Buttocks)

[personal profile] what_fourth_wall 2021-07-01 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
June: Deadpool got hella drunk, tried to rob a jewelry store with a heist monkey, tried to kill Hal Jordan for nearly denying him a movie for TEN YEARS, got himself blown the fuck up, blew up a lot of gangsters and potentially some innocent bystanders who were too stupid to run away when the action started going down, brought Shulkie some clothing when she needed it (some of it being edible), and found a fun buddy to ScryText with. She has yet to give him her A/S/L though.

July 2021 (Probably Orange? Yes he's done good. He gets orange.)

[personal profile] what_fourth_wall 2021-08-02 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[July]: Deadpool did a lot! He got thrown to the sharks by Sephiroth, nearly drowned Kyle with his fantasies of big strong green women BUT saved him from said fantasies despite that ending the fantasy, reunited with his BFF Gabby, perved on Jean Grey, saved a hapless teen from mantids with his new hot crush Saxsice, and sucked Quire into his fantasy harem. He ALSO asked the social network here if people could die and asked for volunteers to test the theory that they could not.

August 2021 (Still orange. Gotta keep it up to match all those PSLs.)

[personal profile] what_fourth_wall 2021-09-04 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[August]: Deadpool mainly just hung out this month. He got up to some in the poison garden by attempting suicide and hanging out with Elenore, and also digging up evil man eating mint plants to transplant to other parts of the island with Quire. He also had a heart to heart with Jean Paul and became an X-Factor! And to cap it all off, he pickpocketed SELINA KYLE and GOT AWAY WITH IT.

[September]: Deadpool had a rough time in the carnival this month. He got rewound to his super cancer pre-Weapon X days and he got embarrassed at a strength test. Lame!!!

October 2021 - Orange!

[personal profile] what_fourth_wall 2021-11-08 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
He has had one thread this month where he got romantic with Roxy! I'll make this all official when I get more time, but that gave him 10 points which puts him at 385.

November 2021 (Were those legit zombies or real people? Hmm. Red for murder, most likely)

[personal profile] what_fourth_wall 2021-12-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He had one thread with Roxy again, wherein he killed a lot of shopper zombies to protect her from being hurt. But you know, it's still murder, right?
