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 | Green

SEPTEMBER: Gideon underwent personal growth at the House of Mirrors, with all the different versions of herself that she saw. Namely, Harrow's nickname Griddle was what referred to them all because Harrow knows each and every side of her. She couldn't explain it well to Sephiroth, but she got that niggling feeling and recognized the mirror versions as true. Then she regressed to eleven years old and was a shitty pre-teen. Young!Gideon was fresh and raw in the trauma and (unwarranted) guilt around the deaths of Harrow's parents. She didn't grow much in that state, but she was treated differently, like a person/kid, in a way that would have let her grow had it stayed longer.

Points tally:
Top-level or post: Sephiroth, Camilla, and Harrow responding (10)
Network threads: N/A (0)
Log threads: with Palamedes (10 each)
Bonus points: Palamedes and Camilla were new (5)

Month total: 25
Previous total: 45*
Total: 70

*didn't do points stuff for August due to no internet. Though honestly, impressed with how much I did in September given I had no internet for the entire month.
