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)

[personal profile] lickstheevidence 2021-06-05 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[May]: So far Connor is going with the flow, doing some exploring, and trying to figure out what the hell is going on and where he is. Chloe found him and he was very surprised to see her; he's also met a magic-user named Anders. (Magic isn't real, everyone knows that.) With luck he'll be more active- or proactive? -in June because he definitely needs to meet more people and become more integrated into this new world.

June 2021 (Orange)

[personal profile] lickstheevidence 2021-07-08 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[June]: Connor continues his attempts at discovering who he is now that he's deviant. He's also admitted to Chloe that he's deviant so he's given up the charade of still being a machine. It might be a relief? He's not sure on that point. He's slowly beginning to socialize with other people so there may be hope for him yet.

July 2021 (Still mostly Orange)

[personal profile] lickstheevidence 2021-08-06 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[July]: Connor is slowly talking to new people, but he's not comfortable with socializing so it's still a work in progress. He's had a small breakthrough with Chloe, and he's opening up more about his feelings and the difficulties of being deviant.

August 2021 (Orangey-yellow)

[personal profile] lickstheevidence 2021-09-06 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[August]: Things are still pretty slow on the talking to people front, but he's had a few small conversations here and there. He's not making as much effort to engage with the events of the islands as he should, so while his watch is beginning to tip towards yellow, it's still mostly orange. Maybe more of an amber now.

September 2021 (Orangey-yellow)

[September]: Connor's been having fun at the carnival! He's been on rides, ate a lot of cotton candy, had a Moment with Chloe, and talked to some new people. He hasn't done a lot of his own soul-searching this month so his scrywatch hasn't changed color yet.

October 2021 (Orange)

[personal profile] lickstheevidence 2021-11-07 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[October]: Connor spent most of his time enjoying the carnival still, and he and Chloe shared some kisses and revelations. Things seemed to be going pretty well for him, but oops! He was transformed into a vampire by the Haunted House and that set him (and the Scrywatch!) back when he fought Sephiroth (and maybe Kit?) and tried to stalk Chloe in his desperation for blood.

[NOVEMBER]: November was a bust, fingers crossed for December.

[personal profile] lickstheevidence 2022-01-08 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[December]: Connor didn't do a lot other than hang out with Chloe, going skating and exchanging gifts. Very fluffy, much sweet, still ongoing. Not changing the scrywatch color yet though.
