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 (Green)

[personal profile] northerndragon 2021-06-05 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
May 2021: Jon poked around the temple and met Sephiroth and Bucky, went to the mask party and met Sharon, went to the theater and met Harrowhark (who he mistook for Arya at first), and presumably moped on the beach (I mean, that “loss” prompt was an invitation to brood!) — but probably didn’t try to set anything on fire. Yet.

Points tally:
Top-level or post: (10)
Network threads: none!
Log threads: Link, Link (two more didn’t really get far enough in May to be worth submitting, but are still ongoing)
Bonus points: All CR was new CR! 5 pts. Character growth: link. Given that Jon’s archnemesis is a necromancer of sorts, a willingness to befriend one is a small step forward. (5 pts)

JULY 2021 | GREEN

[personal profile] northerndragon 2021-08-06 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[JULY]: Met and rescued Dulcie, did a lot of fishing, visited the Flower Oracle, chatted with Kyle. Technically, his bracelet probably went up a level from green and then went right back to green because I did not tag him into rescuing people from the orchid mantis crew, which I am assuming went like: he started to go and decided that other people had it covered. Then again, perhaps *not* kneejerk-rescuing people in a “heedless of his own safety” way represents progress on his part. (But I wish it was my decision, really it’s just that I was still pretty sick well into the month.) Also, when I say “visited the Flower Oracle,” I mean “had some hard truths dropped on him and had to spend some time working that out, man” (see icon). He probably hasn’t worked it out yet.

[AUGUST]: He hung out. I was useless. But it’s a new month now!

Bonus total is still 60. Nothing new happening.

SEPTEMBER 2021 | GREEN

[personal profile] northerndragon 2021-10-06 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
[September] Getting to know you chats with Selina and Ratcatcher!

I intend to come back in and fill the points in later, because I just want to be sure I’ve posted AC before it closes and do not have time to look up the thread URLs right now. The additions will be for two network threads and new CR. It’s also OK if I can’t add those, nbd.

NOVEMBER 2021 | GREEN

[personal profile] northerndragon 2021-12-07 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
NOVEMBER: Jon vs capitalism? He doesn’t understand this place at all. Who would spend so much time in a street market? Why are mall goths? Why is there an entire shop devoted to embarrassing women’s smallclothes (that he would *definitely* buy for a girlfriend if he had one)? Joking aside, he helped Malcolm out of the car park and helped Gideon with her mannequins. These threads are ongoing (I tagged into Gideon at like 11PM on Nov 30th and will prob claim log thread bonus on the thread itself next month), but he is getting to know them both a little. Hopefully Malcolm will explain both Sherlock Holmes and Freud.

Bonus points: 5, the Malcolm thread was also new CR.

[DECEMBER]: GHOST! GHOST GHOST GHOST. Jon spent the month attending to his enormous pet wolf (thanks, nondenominational holiday figure!) and trying not to frighten the mall-goers.

Points pending because I forgot to tally them.
