ACTIVITY CHECK: JULY 2024


Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting:

  • How many elemental stones/ancient tablets were collected
  • Anyone who reached level 6 of the Abyss
  • Did you help the moogles?


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

» Only threads dated from July 1st through July 31st count towards the month's activity. (With the exception of certain backdated threads, read the linked AC guidelines for more details.)

» Activity requires one thread of at least 5 comments. The comment count is from your character.

» Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count, only the threads within the posts. TDM threads with non-game characters will count.

» Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. For the sake of ease, we would like the two threads linked together.

» 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.

» Bonus AC points: All extra non-quest threads not used for AC will be worth 2 extra points that can be used for reward redemption. Please check our Rewards page for more details.


There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Wednesday, July 31st 11:59PM US Eastern.

EXTRA FIELDS: This is not required and completely optional, but included in the submission form are two optional fields: Extra and MANTA Board Posting.

For the Extra field, this is just a space for players to note anything that occurred in their threads that they think might be fun for us to know. So if something particularly interesting happened (for example: discovering a new creature or location, an old artifact, or perhaps a character has stolen something), we highly encourage players to jot them down! Who knows, we may even find a use for it… In addition, we may ask players to submit certain activity related to an event.

You may also submit MANTA board requests to be included in the upcoming board. We will try to add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board or a time we deem fitting. If you don't have one in mind at the time of AC, you can post it later to the upcoming Captain's Log announcement.



If you have any questions, ask them here.


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


empyrean_mirror: (18)

[personal profile] empyrean_mirror 2024-07-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Clover
Character: Kaveh| empyrean_mirror
Proof: 7/24 you know what have a thread

Extra: Kaveh and Alhaitham made it to the bottom of the abyss. Kaveh got possessed by a heliobus and Alhaitham got turned into a vampire. This experience sucked and they rate it 0/5 stars on blub. They collected maybe 5-6 crystals on the way down, mostly by tripping on them.

They also found 2 tablets. Kaveh doesn't want to talk about it. and I pray I have not forgotten anything else.

What the hell is a moogle, asks Kaveh.

MANTA Board Posting: Elemental Energy Survey...part 2! This time, Kaveh would like it if people took the butterflies out and used a LOT of energy around an area. Measuring before and after using magic or magictech is most helpful! The butterflies have been upgraded to not...explode when used multiple times, and will now return to someone when they are done measuring energy.

...Extremely high levels of magic might still blow them up so Daqiang and Emet-Selch maybe be careful with the little shits.

indispensable: (assemblage.)

Player: taso
Character: Alhaitham | indispensable
Proof: 7th July

Extra: Alhaitham and Kaveh got to the bottom of the abyss. Very disappointed that there was only one bench, and it wasn't even a nice or comfortable one. The vampire experience is also Not Great and would not recommend. He also trapped the heliobus that possessed Kaveh with the Evil Binding Matrix and then pretty much kicked it away at the bottom of the abyss. Begone, evil thot.

Are moogles supposed to be cats, asks Alhaitham.

Also presumably Alhaitham did so the Special Investigation but I fell flat on my face so hard so its gonna be backdated properly... sometime... for now just assume the results are mostly centered around what I asked back in June sob.

-Miriam also made it down to level 6, got possessed by a heliobi, and had a bad time! No treasure from this level.
-Imprisoned said heliobi in a Shard that's still in her possession. She may throw it over a cliff later.

Player: Chips
Character: Emet-Selch | [personal profile] emet_sulk
Proof: July 11

Extra:
- Emet-Selch was, of course, hard at work trying to make the engine development proceed smoothly. A few people have shown up to get things started, notably Darin who made suggestions about the layout of the workshop and volunteered to network with other smiths.
- The brass egg he managed to find while exploring the abyss has been cared for surprisingly thoroughly. Emet-Selch doesn't know what the creature is but he presumes he needs to keep it at a warm and consistent temperature. He has set up a simple magical array in his ship cabin to do just that and checks on it regularly.
- He also made some money selling things he found whilst exploring the abyss further, so funds are looking good for the engine project. It only came at the cost of a bit of his sanity.
- He helped stop Rem when her use of auracite went out of control. Hopefully no-one finds out he was partially responsible--

MANTA Board Posting: (I can write something depending on the overall progress on the engine quest!)

MANTA Board Posting: SPECIAL: Materials Wanted!

A certain loud, blue haired master smith has been hard at work, scrounging up the scratch to open a proper smithy on Eltrut. And now, with his goal in sight, he'd love to commemorate the grand opening with an offer! Got any special or rare materials lying around that you'd love to see made into something custom-made? Got any particularly strong monster bones or giant carapaces that you'd love to repurpose? What about a giant isopod shell that you think would make a cool shield? Darin Altway is looking to make your custom gear dreams come true!
