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:

NOVEMBER: Retail therapy. (Not that shopping will make things better, though Gideon is very much up on 'you never know when you'll get a chance for x again' and did stock up). Gideon's always known that people can (and often are) assholes, and she's stubbornly stood on her own side when it never felt like anyone else would at the Ninth House. Despite all that, Gideon only learned the revelations behind everyone's treatment of her in the Canaan House mad dash toward, in the end, an iron fence. There wasn't processing time. Past and present, sometimes people are shit and it's not her fault came to a head. The mannequins forced her face to face with those who treated her poorly at the Ninth for the crime of not dying. The Black Friday rush forced her to face she couldn't do anything about it (and it's not her fault; sometimes you can't). It's not a fun realization, but it's chipping away at the guilt and responsibility she's claimed when she shouldn't have.
