CHECK-IN: SEPTEMBER

CHECK-IN: SEPTEMBER
the basics
Hello, players, and welcome to our activity check for September! Our AC is self-reporting, meaning that all players must comment to this post, even if you have a hiatus or need to take a strike. The one exception to this is if you're on a hiatus through the entire duration of the AC period. As a reminder, this month is check-in only!
Submitting an AC proof of 5 log comments/10 network comments or an equivalent combination will give one bonus explore token for use in October. You may have only one of these tokens at a time.
This activity check will close on Wednesday, September 30 at 11:59 PM EST. Any characters who fail to respond will be swept from the game. We do not post AC warning lists, so it's up to you to remember to post!
The following players have hiatused during this AC period:
- none!
If you have extenuating circumstances regarding this AC period, please PM/PP us directly! We'll leave you off of the above public lists if you contact us privately, as well.
the details
AC for The Next Night has three parts.
- COMMENTS: For the September AC period, we do not require full activity in order to pass. Just a check in is necessary! However, linking an AC proof of 5 log or 10 network/TDM comments or an equivalent combination will earn a bonus explore token for use in October.
- SUMMARY: Let us know what your character has been up to this past month! For the September AC period, we would still like you to fill this section out! This may include character developments, growth in CR, neat plot discoveries, or anything else that struck you as noteworthy for your character this month. These short summaries should be no more than a paragraph, as they're intended to give us just the gist of what everyone's doing in game. The content of this write-up will not be judged, (so feel free to be entirely informal,) we just want to keep track of what's going on with the characters since we can't read every thread.
- THREADS: This last part of AC is entirely optional. If you choose, you may link us to threads that are important for plot (or player plot) reasons or for character development, or that you would like to draw our attention to for whatever other reason. If your character is up to something that you think we should be aware of, link us. (These can be threads you used for the AC proof if you like.) Again, this last part is optional.
Information gathered from these last two elements may be integrated into events and other plot points.
the mini-faq
- What threads can I use for AC? Any threads that take place in our
logsinthenight or
networkinthenight communities may be used for AC, as well as threads that take place in characters' personal inboxes or on the TDM for the month. Please note that TDM threads will always count as network threads for the purposes of AC, regardless of their content.
- Can I use threads started before this AC period? What about using a thread for more than one activity check? Yes, though only the comments made during this AC period will count toward activity.
- Sooo I can keep using the same TDM thread with a player from outside the game for months and months and still pass AC? Well, hold your horses there, buckaroo. If we notice a player passing AC by way of using the same thread a bunch of times, using a lot of TDM threads, or other "iffy" things like using a lot of threads with the same characters/players or continuously collecting the majority of their AC in the last few days of the month, we may privately reach out to the player to ask for a wider variety of threads in the future. None of these things are explicitly disallowed, but we do want to make sure players are active participants in the game since we have limited slots. All of that stuff will be handled privately on a case-by-case basis.

character: Rosinante Donquixote
journal:
comments: 10+ network
summary: After helping people collect the deliveries out of the lake, he, Soldat and Law finally ventured out to see if they could find any trace of the Wild Hunt and their mines. Instead they found the world's saddest train station - but also a journal they suspect came from the Hunt. They're having to delay pursuing following up on them due to the new spirits in town as well as wanting to pop down to the Helix Station and tie up loose ends there, but they'll be back!! Hopefully.
threads: Just the one linked above - making some plans to go down to the Helix Station and poke at the world eater corpse, see what other tools and technology is usable.

character: Ardyn Izunia
journal:
comments: Post
summary: Still feels wounded in his pride about getting sick and experiencing actual hunger. He's also very bored. (Keeping in mind he perceives time differently than most as a 2000+ year old being with even more thousands of years worth of consumed memories. Basically months pass like minutes)
threads: Are all in the network post
explore token: Did he earn one? Sure, with hopes that October will be less awful.
character: Link
journal:
comments: not enough for right now. I'm replying to this a little earlier than usual because otherwise I'll forget I just know it
summary: Link is around. He hasn't done much but he's monitoring the network. Is considering offering to help search for a trace of the Wild Hunt.
threads: Wolf warrior

character: Zihuan Cao Pi
journal:
comments: look I have like 15!
summary: he's been very quiet lately, avoiding trouble while absolutely failing to put together an explore team, but he will be getting on that shortly. Meanwhile, having shenanigans with the visiting spirits, both good and bad. He will be looking for info from them, too.
explore token: idk? but I still have one so it's okay

character: Will Ingram
journal:
comments: I actually did some??? but not enough to bother linking I don't think.
summary: Will started working with the lab group, he'll be mostly studying the portal and the lanterns. He also is having some emotions with Rosinante.

character: Bucky/Soldat
journal:
comments: 17 comments
summary: He got a bunch of stuff from Javert/the portal to remodel the kitchen at the B&B! Don't know if that's started yet, but they have the stuff, and they will once we work out plans and shit. He participated A LOT in the spirit memory thing and got correspondingly fucked up in the brain afterwards with a bunch of people in his head, also now a bunch more people know he hears voices, so that's. Great.
threads: Javert finally finds out about Sarge and the Asset, and really honestly half the town knows now. Pudding, Merwen, Reiju... Misty and Rosi already did.
explore token: Yes! Though I will probably continue my habit of not using it.
character: Stone
journal:
comments: Just checking in this month
summary: Stone did some memory stuff with the spirits! And chased other spirits around when they made trouble! And discovered he can kinda-sorta use the spirit language in winged form which is actually pretty awesome, because otherwise he literally cannot communicate in that form.
threads: I slacked off, nothing of note here this month.
explore token: Nope!

character: Reiju
journal:
summary: She and Soldat had a rather distressing chat with a spirit in exchange for some gifts, which intensified her determination not to go quietly into whatever happens when you die a second time.

character: javert
journal:
comments: checking in
summary: he went swimming in the lake to retrieve part of his item delivery, as well as some supplies from the monthly restock. after that, he went back to the sewers and discovered the wastewater treatment plant, which he hasn't spoken to anyone about yet, but hopefully will soon. he gave gifts to the spirits during the event, and now has three people inside of his head for two weeks. it's one of the worst things that's ever happened to him because javert hates having thoughts and feeling feelings.
