ACTIVITY CHECK
Actions have consequences.
You’ll be required to link a minimum of two (2) threads, as well as a brief summary of what your character’s been up to. No comment count required! Regarding summaries, a few lines are perfectly fine! We’re mostly looking for clues in order to adequately track your character’s ambitions/intentions/deeds so that we can 1. dole out suitable consequences/curses/boons/etc (immediately following AC or at random), and 2. observe their evolution until the inevitable end. Will it be Ascension, or annihilation?
We realize that this can be extremely subjective as far as good and evil go, so to keep things simple, we'll have to adjust the consequences based on the character's overall intent. You'll be notified ICly or OOcly as soon as they come into effect (which might not necessarily happen right after AC or every round), depending on the action and what the outcome entails. Examples of consequences include, but are absolutely not limited to: a sojourn in jail, physical transformations, valuable artifacts, a harrowing, a permanent Spark, a power fully restored, a loss of any kind, privileges, information, etc. Consequences may not be doled out every time, but keep in mind that every action leads your character closer to Oblivium regardless, or Ascension. We'll keep track.
Regarding threads, we accept links from TDMs, inboxes, logs, the netherwork, and Soulidarity. You may submit threads from up to two months prior to the current month if you're still tagging them, but you can’t submit the same thread twice.
Subthreads from a top-level or a catch-all log can be used as separate proofs for AC! As for bonuses, we'll be limiting submissions of subthreads to one (1) per round.
Additionally, we simply ask that you don’t exclusively tag inboxes and/or castmates, repeatedly submit network-style comment spam, or drop your threads as soon as you pass AC. If a consistent pattern occurs, we’ll reach out to the player and discuss with them before issuing a warning.
A warning is cleared after you’ve successfully passed AC two months in a row.
If extenuating circumstances prevent you from playing or notifying us in time, a retroactive hiatus will be available to you once every 6 months. Otherwise, to avoid a warning, please notify us at least one week before the end of the month!
Regarding bonuses, which are an optional perk, we accept links from TDMs, inboxes, logs, and the netherwork. Please note that each thread must have at least 8 comments from you, and can’t be threads you’ve submitted for AC. Each bonus thread equals 5 points. You may also submit threads from up to two months prior to the current month if you're still tagging them, but you can’t submit the same thread twice. You can collect your points and spend them whenever you wish, and no more than one reward per round will be granted.

REWARDS
► Trinket = 15 points
► Spark = 25 points
► Artifact = 30 points
► Boon = 40 points
A boon is, essentially, a (reasonable!) wish granted or an item requested from home! A trinket is much lesser than an artifact in power, and would also have to eventually be soul-forged in order to last.

harrowhark nonagesimus 🦴 the locked tomb
October 2022
She has read everything on the Netherwork she can see. She has completely avoided Soulidarity for the time being because trusting another human being like that utterly terrifies her. Her Shadow, who is a bright and cheery mean girl, taunted her horribly about that one and is still doing so. But when the new notice board went up, Harrow finally felt secure enough to try some things ...
... and proceeded to try all of them.
So far she's managed to:
— make it into the Hinterlands where she's watching Itadori Yuuji fight a little fire guy and asking him questions before launching into telling her own story about heroism
— gotten to the outside of the cave in Serene (open post)
— been terrified by the movie theater (open post)
— realized that she doesn't know how to fish (open post)
As for me OOCly, I'm going to be much, much more engaged in November, I promise. ♥ I apologize for how this month went and will understand completely if you want to smack me with a warning!
NOTE
WARNING:
While there are no numerical requirements regarding activity, we feel it's important to try and be as fair as possible to other players and potential applicants. It's the reason why we aim to ensure that characters demonstrate active engagement in the game, and by that, we don't mean that you need to be all over the place all the time. You don't! Despite its themes, Nightfell is meant to keep an easy-going ambience where fun is a top priority, but a minimum of activity is expected. What this means, essentially, is that AC summaries that consist mostly of handwaved actions rather than actual written play don't qualify as active engagement, and neither does recurring absence.
For these reasons, we must unfortunately issue an official warning, and hope to see your character a little more engaged next check-in! Please notify us as soon as possible if such a situation presents itself again, so that we might work something out with you!
