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.

[ 2022 Check-in Page ★ 2023 Check-in Page ★ Full Navigation ]
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:

🦊 Player Name

🦊 Character Name | Fandom

🦊 Month Year
🦊 Month Year

🦊 Character Name | Fandom

🦊 Month Year
🦊 Month Year

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.

Character Name: Lorna
Player Name: Meghann
Summarized Activity: Worried about her bar and what's going on down in Tides. She's been trying to get information from anyone that might have ended up there but so far there's not been anything. Other than that she's just been trying to do her best to survive and help her friends.

(frozen comment) November 2024

[ferrokinetically]

Character Name: Lorna
Player Name: Meghann
Summarized Activity: Went on an actual date for the first time in literally years. Not like she went on many back home either. Has no real idea how to feel about that. Opened up way more to Ari than she ever has before about things and actually got Ari to say more than she usually does. Was cute. Had an emotional breakdown by the selkie river in front of a few people including her employee and will feel embarrassed about that for a while.

(frozen comment) December 2024

[ferrokinetically]

Character Name: Lorna Dane
Player Name: Meghann
Summarized Activity: Actually went on a date with someone. Christmas miracle right there. Talked about some of her emotions with losing her home, being hunted, about how she wished she could have gotten to know her dad better (particularly his heritage), realized she does regret having never gotten to know him (rip too late now), and missed her family around the holidays. Now she'll just go be depressed.
