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
* you may check-in anytime during the active month, so long as you do so by the last day at 11:59 PM EST. simply follow the example below!

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.

after arriving in the shadowlands, he started an investigation into the mausoleum as well as accepted a commission from hale's chief healer to help him gather scaleberries in exchange for coins. he ran into cloud during one of his traipses, saving the kid from a poisonous bite with the scaleberries he'd collected. unfortunately, he quickly realized that cloud didn't recognize him. he is now struggling in terms of how to interact and watch over a friend who has no memory of him.
when he was alerted to the trouble in serene, he left his makeshift homestead in stygia to offer assistance in oakwoods. he confronted puck with dimitri, but in a bad turn of luck, puck dropped the lantern and it shattered. dimitri offered some of his blood to fix it and vincent helped him back out of the woods to hand over the lantern to myrtille. at the festival, vincent ran into cloud once again and, despite not helping himself to any of the food, he learned that some of them have peculiar effects.
during the warding ritual, vincent chased after the headless horseman but he wasn't able to catch up with it before it vanished into the tempest. he returned to the chaos it left behind to investigate and found the sheets of paper with a white scorpion painted on them. he compared his findings with joel. once that wrapped up, he continued to stay in stygia, picking up commissions to earn enough money to purchase more weapons. meanwhile, he is still watching over cloud, albeit afar.
Thread Links: 1 | 2 | 3 = 15 points

NOTE
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.
This does NOT constitute an official warning. This mostly serves as a reminder, and we hope to see your character a little more engaged next check-in!

for future ref, should i be linking my current month's threads in the summary as proof? links were mentioned as optional and only meant to gain points which is why i thought it would be ok to use completed threads over slower, more ongoing ones.
but i can keep it in mind going forward if that isn't the case. thank you for the speedy response, mods!
