Activity Check: September 2022



✵ ACTIVITY CHECK: SEPTEMBER 2022 ✵

It's time for the monthly Activity Check!

FOR THE DRAGON EVENT we'd like to request players who participated in them to include in the Extra Note section if any of the following occurred: 1) returned dragon eggs and/or treasure; 2) fought dragons (negatively) or resolved disputes with dragons (positive); 3) donated leprechauns; 4) became a dragon minion; 5) anything noteworthy happen while dragonnapped or rescuing. Completed threads are NOT required; feel free to note anything ongoing or even handwave.

Please refer to the Activity Check section in our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:

  • Only threads dated from September 1st through September 30th will count. (Exception: certain backdated threads, TDM threads, read the sections for more details.)

  • You must provide 2 threads of at least 5 comments each. The comment count is from your character. This means it must be some combination of 5+5. Not 6+4 or 2+8.

  • Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count.

  • Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. Please link both separately so we don't get confused.

  • Backdated threads can be counted so long as they 1) start in the previous month, 2) the majority of the comments are in the current AC month, and 3) was not used for the previous month.

  • Test Drive threads will count, however we have a one TDM thread limit. Because our TDM is bimonthly, only the August TDM will count for this AC. You cannot use the same thread from the previous AC.

  • You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.

  • As a reminder to those who received a special free AC pass back in December. If you plan to use it, unless there is an extreme personal emergency, we will not allow a hiatus exemption before or after the month of using the pass. This is so we don't get a weird case of { Hiatus > Free Pass } or { Free Pass > Hiatus } or { Hiatus > Free Pass > Hiatus } scenarios as that would effectively allow a player to skip two to three ACs in a row and we do not want that.

  • Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.

There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Friday, September 30th 11:59PM US Central.

If you have any questions, ask them here.



✵ BONUS INQUIRIES ✵

This is not required and completely optional, but included in the AC submission form is a field to allow players to note any special incidents, encounters, or discoveries that occurred in their threads. So if a character found some creature or a location, you are welcome to include it so we can add it to the setting. You are also free to comment for other submissions on the World Directory.

You can also make quest requests to be included in the upcoming Dream Boards. If possible we'll add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board. If you don't have one in mind, you can post it later to the upcoming Mod Announcement.



✵ THE FORM ✵

Fill out the following form and comment directly to this post. If you have multiple characters, please put them in one comment.

Thread #1: 9/2
Thread #2: 9/14

Extra Note: Did return quite hatchlings/dragon eggs, along with treasure here and there. Also donated a leprechaun or two to the dragons, and had a couple of rough encounters with aggressive dragons that eventually resolved into treasure return. All of this can be found here if needed.

Extra Note: Shirou got caught up in the aftermath of Noctstace and tried to assist by providing food and basic necessities. He'll play with the dogs okay.


Alphen went into the expedition wastelands and found some new materials for developing the smithy.

Edit: I had a bunch of threads so I'm adding additional information. Alphen looked into charged crystals and experimented on them with various dreamotion effects. He's still searching for more information on power limiters.

Player: Riki
Character: Dante | strawberryredgrave
Thread #1: 9/8
Thread #2: 9/15

Extra Note: Dante was definitely dealing with dragons in this event. While not all of his interactions with dragons were positive at first, he tried to make them such:

- Drawing a dragon's attention away from civilians, pretending to want a fight. He never attacked her and never needed to, thanks to Eustace. Seen here.
- He spread awareness of the dragons' intentions and the leprechauns who wronged them, to help minimize casualties on both sides. This was stated atop a dragon Millie claimed as a mount after severing one of its legs. Seen here.
- He returned stolen gold and eggs after learning of the leprechauns' deception. In exchange, all he asked for was a bottle of wine to share with Beatrix. Seen here.
- Dante interrupted a fight between Beatrix and a dragon, taking her place to secretly prevent her from killing him. He used nonlethal attacks to subdue his rage and made it clear he knew why they invaded the town. Once Beatrix knew the truth, Dante apologized to the dragon and refused to fight him any further. Same thread as the previous note.

Extra Note: Sakura was working on a plan for returning the eggs, basically getting them all in one place eg on a rooftop and leaving them there for the dragons.
flamekthunder: do not take please because this took a while to color and tbh they're not that great fff (ϟ 090)

[personal profile] flamekthunder 2022-09-28 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Laena
Character: Eustace | flamekthunder
Thread #1: 9/11
Thread #2: 9/16

Extra Note: LOTS OF. STUFF. First Eustace has recovered from the noctaere plot and will now be looking more into how to deal with that mess. He will also be joining in research efforts in figuring out ways how to either stay in the world permanently, or at least be able to leave by their own choice rather than random.

As for the dragon event:
1) He has returned at least 1 dragon egg and helped retrieve treasure
2) He's stopped some dragons from fighting and they fortunately worked with them instead of getting into more trouble. UNFORTUNATELY the last dragon he fought dragonnapped him instead.
3) Did not thread a leprechaun at time of commenting this but boy he sure would have tossed at least one at a dragon with no remorse
5) Lost his engagement ring so spent most of the time dealing with that. In the process he definitely made a mess of various treasure rooms because have to find his ring.

Player: Rio
Character: Ralsei | a_sweet_little_peach
Thread #1: 9/24
Thread #2: TDM, 8/22

Extra Note: Ralsei was able to keep from hurting a dragon that he encountered with Link, at the least! He also, notably, ended up with a baby dragon a few days before the others hatched, and was taking care of it for the days that it stayed with him. Unsure as to whether it still is, having imprinted on him, or if they returned to their parent.

pactmarshal: (no pictures please)

Player: unkie
Character: Trahearne | [personal profile] pactmarshal
Thread #1: 9/2
Thread #2: 9/5

Extra Note: Trahearne was involved in dragons and left a trail of bodies in his wake. Yes, he fought them negatively. I mean, /gestures to guild wars 2 /gestures to tyria /gestures to his job /gestures to his wyld hunt /gestures to his family tree /gestures to his mother /gestures to the sylvari /gestures to canon point

Also editing to add (idk maybe it's important for whatever devilish scheme the mods are coming up with): despite being dressed as a prince, Trahearne was never kidnapped because the dragons thought he was a minion already. :')
(I just really didn't want to poke that wasp nest of his PTSD after a bad month already and that's how I'm handwaving that :) )

Quest Request: something something therapy please good god these characters need a therapist

Thread #1: 09/10
Thread #2: 09/20

Extra Note: Anya did got into some dragon actions, and while some may not have been positive, she sure did helped a lot.

1.) Helped Trahearne in fighting an angry brass colored dragon.
2.) Helped in gathering dragon eggs and baby dragons to be returned to their parents.

Also she has told Akechi in a private network post that she is indeed that infamous Russian Grand Duchess from another timeline.

Thread #2: 9/12 (5+)
Thread #3: 9/13 (5+)

*should have 5 by the end of the month, but if not I'll tackle the extra thread in Oct. o7

Extra Note: Van Zieks teamed up with Della to talk a dragon down and rescue one of the eggs; Ferran and Vanitas worked together to capture at least one of the leprechauns for Great Justice. Unthreaded but generally, Van Zieks would have attempted to avoid combat when going off to rescue the dragonnapped, and Ferran collected and duplicated treasure for the dragons to take.

Not a game-wide note, but a note for friends and acquaintances that Emet-Selch may look just a little...different following the Imbalance Event.

Player: Kri
Character: Link | mooserider
Thread #1: 9/06
Thread #2: 9/09

Extra Note:

-Link went with Alphen to the wildlands to find monster materials. Alphen might have been looking for smithy stuff, but Link is planning to use the monster parts to try making elixirs like he does at home
-He did return a number of eggs/hatchlings, and some treasure as well
-He had some aggro encounters with the dragons, but mostly tried to draw fire long enough to either tire them out or escape
-Also helped support people trying to peacefully resolve dragon disputes

Character: Tifa Lockhart | starshower
Thread #1: 09/10
Thread #2: 09/20

Extra Note:
- Tifa helped some people return several dragon hatchlings (at least 5?) to the older dragons
- Returned some treasure as well
- She helped to scare off an aggressive dragon rather than fight it, but after Eustace was dragonnapped, she ended up fighting at least three of them.

Thread #1: 9/9
Thread #2: 9/9

Extra Note: This is largely an in-character development, but as of the Imbalance event, Akechi has awakened to his first Songerein Persona, Captain Nemo. It's weak now, but he can access Dreamotion relatively easily for the first time, and may actually start being at least a little less of a shit.
