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:

September 2021 (Yellow)

[October]: David did his best not to engage with the stranger parts of the carnival in the month of October, instead choosing to fall back on more interaction with his friends and learning more about them. He very much strengthened his friendships with Kyle and Carter, felt that he started to make headway with Loki and Sephiroth by giving the former a gift and teaching the latter to ride horses, and even started hanging out with Deadpool, making the guy a stuffed animal bandolier. He even struck a tacit sort of peace with Quire who he hates back home. The most interesting growth he had was learning of the arrival of Molly of the Runaways, a girl he has decided to look out for, and in doing so he is starting to redevelop some of those older brother instincts. There was also an encounter with Chloe Decker, who talked to David about Lucifer in her world, helping him quietly realize that even someone so normally seen as evil and corrupt truly could begin to forgive and redeem themselves, so why couldn't he? But for every step forward (and there were more than those above), there are steps backward, and this month that was found in the arms of Jean-Paul. Literally. There's his boss, somehow mystically regressed in age, and David absolutely slept with the guy. He's sorta been hiding out from the other guy ever since because, well, he's scared of what fallout will come from Jean-Paul returning to his proper age.

Points tally:
Top-level or post: Link (10 each *1 = 10)
Network threads: Link 1 Link 2(5 each *2 = 10)
Log threads: Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 Link 5 Link 6 Link 7 (10 each *7 = 70)
Bonus points: Link [Chloe] (5 each *1 = 5)

Month total: 95
Previous total: 105
Total: 200
