Required Check-In
Attendance Check-In
Check-In Information
Check-in opens on the 1st at 12:01 AM EST.
Check-in closes on the 8th at 11:59 PM EST.
We do not require traditional "activity" check-ins, but we do require an interest check-in to ensure that our players are present and still interested in the characters they play.
You will be required to check-in during the 1-8th of the month. If you cannot access a computer during this time, please let a mod or friend know so they can check-in for you.
You must check in your individual characters. If you fail to check in with any characters, they will be swept from the game.
If you missed check-in due to extenuating circumstances, please contact the mods ASAP and let them know the situation.
We ask our players to be active in the game even without formal activity check requirements. If we notice any concerning patterns with the same players missing check-ins and being swept from the game or being irresponsible with check-ins or squatting we will contact the player directly. This may include restrictions from reapplication into the game or actual activity requirements.
Please respect your fellow players and mods! We want to keep this game activity-requirement-free and active.
Anatomy Of Check-In
Every player will have an overall check-in comment with their name as the subject line. Every character a player writes will have a comment with their name and fandom as the subject line. Each month, players need to post a comment under each character's comment with the month and year in the subject line.
The comment structure will look like:

Check-in Content
Check-in comments are IC only, and are required to include a minimum of one thing your character did this month. You're welcome to include more.
Formatting is your choice: sentences, bullet points, something else. We're not picky!
We do not want links to threads, OOC explanations, or apologies. Folkmore is a chill game, and it's completely fine to have not played much.
We welcome and encourage handwaving. Give us something your character did in the background or plans you have to back thread. Note handwaved interactions you discussed with other players. Many players use their check-in posts as records of important beats their characters experienced.
The bottom line is to show you have some OOC idea what is going on IC, even when you're not actively able to RP, to demonstrate your continued interest in the game with the character.

(frozen comment) January 2024
Player Name: Heather
Summarized Activity: Ted continues to Ted around, avoiding trouble where possible but he finally leaned in on the latest trial — much to his deep distress. I've yet to write that whole mess up, but the unresolved thing he had to face was his dad's early death. Until now, he hasn't really been hit head-on by any extreme mindfucks here, and he's... not having a great time with it. But he'll probably be fine!!

He can gain water powers, but we ask you to use the form for check-in in the future!
(frozen comment) May 2024
Player Name: Heather
Summarized Activity: Business as usual. Ted enjoyed some of the mood weather that hit this month, too — other mood-altering events had soured him to Thirteen and her powers, but this one was almost... nice? But that, he knows, might also have something to do with the good mood he's been in recently. He also took advantage of Thirteen's office hours, but those are details I still need to figure out! Thank you mods!

(frozen comment) June 2024
Player Name: Heather
Summarized Activity: Ted's started trying to explore his new water powers, to little avail – he hasn't quite grasped the concept of magic and finds he's having a hard time harnessing what he thought would come naturally once "unlocked." He's especially frustrated with himself over this given the recent wildfires. Other than that, it's been business as usual.

Player Name: Heather
Summarized Activity: Ted's been on autopilot while I've been on hiatus. He's gotten a slightly better hang of his water manipulation powers during this time, but not by much! We're back in time for the latest Trial.

(frozen comment) jk this is December 2024
Player Name: Heather
Summarized Activity: Ted's back!!! He returned to find his treehouse damaged by the strangeness that rolled through just before he left and has since relocated to a new place in Satori Hills — with Vanessa, officially. He spent some time reuniting with some of his closest friends — Rue, Casey, Midge... — and is settling back in nicely. He's resuming his office hours at the Academy and is eager for things to feel "normal" again.
