✵ ACTIVITY CHECK: NOVEMBER 2021 ✵

It's time for the monthly Activity Check! 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 November 1st through November 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 November TDM will count for this AC. Note that 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.
  
  
• 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, November 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.

Extra Note: 76 and Kazuma found some special flowers with anti-noctaere properties inside a cave at the foot of the mountain behind a waterfall. They are guarded/cared for (?) by giant ent-like creatures, and some of the wildlife in the area have gained special properties from consuming the flower. Currently the flowers do not show it can fully prevent noctaere changes already occuring, but do help calm the Noctaere side of the mind. It has some preventive properties against Noctaere influence as well, when around them or consumed. So far only tested as a form of crude tea and need further research and refining. Noctaere-like creatures find them replusive, especially in large batches. It's why there are hardly nightmarish creatures in the deep forest and mountains near the area with the flowers.

They're somewhat delicate plants, preferring cooler humid climates and grow in shade. Currently difficult to cultivate them at this time.
