Activity Check: October 2023

ACTIVITY CHECK: OCTOBER 2023

It's time for the monthly Activity Check!

In the Extra Notes section, please note if your character has done any of the following:

• Findings from those who signed up for Orkili investigations

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 October 1st through October 31st 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) were not used for the previous month.
  
  
• 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 2022. 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 Tuesday, October 31st 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.

<b>Player:</b> Name <b>Character:</b> Character | journalname <b>Thread #1:</b> <a href="THREADURL">Date</a> <b>Thread #2:</b> <a href="THREADURL">Date</a> <b>Extra Note:</b> OPTIONAL can delete if not used. Any incidents, encounters, or discoveries made by the character can be included here. Blurbs are fine, links to threads optional but helpful for reference. Use this section to note any of the requested threads listed at the beginning of the AC instructions. Completed threads not required and can handwave outcomes or activity. Linked threads optional but not required. <b>Quest Request:</b> OPTIONAL can delete if not used. If you have any quests for us to add to the Dream Board, be it generic or specific, dump it here! We'll try to add it to the upcoming one, if not we'll save it for the future.

Thread #1: 10/15
Thread #2: 10/2

Extra Note: Ryu and Joshua explored some of the caves. They found a mole with a large crystal as well as a monster centipede that exuded nightmare energy. They found a crystal of nightmare energy and took it back - they're trying to find someone who can help them study it (safely, Joshua).

Thread #1: 10/3
Thread #2: 10/01

Extra Note: Vanitas and Riku did an investigation. They are in the process of finding cracks in the pipes. And they are definitely sabotaged. Vanitas is suspicious of it in general because of his sensing Nightmare energy. But doesn't know enough about it to really suspect anyone.

Thread #2: 10/17

Extra Note: He is working on trying to figure out how to open a tea shop. As I am on hiatus all next month, however, I probably will not peruse that until December. (This is also why a third is not getting apped this round either, sadly.)

Thread #1: 10/08
Thread #2: 10/08

Extra Note: Tifa and Eustace went down to investigate the caves and found a couple things: the bats that have been acting up have some sort of tag on them and brought them back to the researchers to look into. They also found a lair of sorts with scratch marks all over the walls, and crystals that appear to absorb dreamotion energy.

Character: Alastor | lonelysmiles
Thread #1: 10/5 (18)
Thread #2: 10/19 (22)

Extra Note: Alastor and Madhuri went exploring the Crystal Caves and found not just a massive supply of dream crystals ready to help prevent a future Nightmare Chernobyl but also a very strong noctaere that they had to run from. (The thread is almost done being written but the outcome is they're gonna yeet themselves out of there!)

Thread #1: 10/4
Thread #2: 10/4

Extra Note: Madhuri and Alastor investigated the Orkili caves and found dreamotion crystals... alongside a very nasty canine creature made of solidified nightmare energy whose claw marks matched that of those in the evacuated city. Their attempt to fight it off ended with the realization that it would need FAR more firepower, and they swiftly fled.
