ACTIVITY CHECK: DECEMBER 2023


Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

NOTE: This month's activity check is CHECK-IN ONLY. Players are not required to submit any proof, but must still comment to this post to check-in and remain in the game.

Players who provide full activity of one thread (minimum 5 comments) will be granted one player-bound free pass to use at any point in 2024. Please note the rules on free passes here.

In the Extra Notes section, please note the following:

  • Any characters who faced off against the Pirat King.
  • Any NPC toys that were saved.
  • Bite-sized Blessings: what was done with the dragon (taken to Elah, Nogard, elsewhere?)
  • Magitech Madness: any notes on findings.
  • Untitled Goose Bounty: whether the goose was defeated and how.


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 December 1st through December 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 Sunday, December 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.


yuezun: (OOC: actual smile)

[personal profile] yuezun 2023-12-30 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Autumn
Character: Dongfang Qingcang | yuezun
Proof: 12/02

Extra: The Phantom Moon is now afloat and the Raiders of the Lost Arts have their boat to start exploring and doing stuff with! Daqiang and Professor Turo made their own Stainless Steel; Daqiang and G'raha hunted down a perfect dragonfly; One of the magitech canons got hauled over for offering (thread ongoing) and Daqiang spent a pretty penny on a full five pounds of flawless black jade. Woot!

Special Notes:
  • Pirat King: faced off against the Pirat King with Rem Tokimiya; Pirat King escaped but the Xylophone was destroyed and the curse lifted!
  • Bite-sized Blessings: The little biter got taken back to Nogard.
  • Magitech Madness: (thread in progress but!) Fire magic to power them pairs damn well with metal canonballs - molten metal projectiles are very destructive
  • Untitled Goose Bounty: Chased the goose off with Benedikta during one fight (thread ongoing, but will be a success, Benedikta chokes a couple necks and Daqiang fries some heads before it runs) and Big Mass Attack near end of month is a success (4 ongoing threads in my Event Toplevel + 6 additional volunteers from Network Call that are assumed to be there); lots of fire, some explosives, a lot of feathers pulled out, all heads cut off and a massive final attack from everyone before they could regrow to seal the wounds. BBQ baby! Daqiang exhausted his power between powering up the fire people and throwing down a firestorm at the end. His body could be seen falling briefly in the smoke and flames before G'raha retrieved him with a spell and carried him off for recovery on the Phantom Moon.


  • Other Bounties:
  • Fey Fighters: learned sleep spell
  • Picture of Dorina Grey: Got a picture, got upset by picture, threw picture on floor and stormed out (Rem saved it)
  • Coins of the Crescent: (thread ongoing) found cache of coins and will give all but one to Nogard healers - keeping one because it could help cure a curse later
  • A steamy winter's heist: (one thread ongoing, one finished) Successfully stole a bunch of aphro-mint tea and sold some of it off, saved some to sell and/or use for barter later
  • Poke'N'Prance: participated and fought several people, treated it as a training exercise and forgot about the prize entirely
  • An Eggstraordinary Harvest: Determined that the eggs are magical (breaking them causes them to go bad excessively quickly and that's not fun for anyone); advised farmer to attempt to hatch them rather than break them open or cook them; kept a half-dozen to try and hatch himself and see what comes out of them - will update next AC what weird chickens come out of them.
