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:

October 2021 (Yellow)

[October]: David spent October doing two major things: trying to ignore what he did in September, and making more bad (cotton candy fueled) mistakes. Mostly he did his best to avoid the rides thinking they would be the best way to make mistakes, and instead ended up making out with Sephiroth and Hawks, which just proved why he needed to perhaps be more cautious about time with other people alone. Meanwhile he worked very hard to ignore the things he got up to with Jean-Paul, afraid his boss would hate him. Eventually this came to a head when the two ran into each other, and it nearly turned into an argument. At last David admitted to himself that he was being a little idiot (yay growth) about maturity, and he should stop acting like he's the only one who has been through some messed up stuff recently. In part this realization came about because of the continued good influence in his life of his now absolutely best friends Carter and Kyle. With this support network he might finally be able to make progress forward, provided he stops getting himself into stupid new situations. So maybe one step forward, two steps back.

Points tally:
Top-level or post: Link (10 each *1 = 10)
Log threads: Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 Link 5 Link 6 (10 each *6 = 60)
Bonus points: Link 1 (New Person) Link 2 (Character Growth) (5 each *2 = 10)

Month total: 80
Previous total: 200
Total: 280
