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) Astarion
(frozen comment) February 2024
Player Name: Magellan
Summarized Activity: Astarion has just arrived! He's a little upset that he's separated from (his) Tav, but he got to pet a magic shark so that was kind of cool.

(frozen comment) March 2024
Player Name: Magellan
Summarized Activity: Astarion has been hiding in the darkness since he managed to leave Tides, wherever he can find. He's been hesitant about trying to enter dwellings without being invited, but he's been teaching himself to use the relic and researching what he can. In the meantime, he's made his way to Exile, drawn by the shadows and dark thoughts. He attended the latest IC Mingle to
scope victimsgather more information and he's about to experiment with finding an empty place to live. Meeting "Tav" and learning about the existence of multiple possible realities has been Upsetting to say the least.(frozen comment) Re: March 2024
(frozen comment) April 2024
Player Name: Magellan
Summarized Activity: Ended up having to post a hiatus -- Astarion went about his usual business, scoping out potential places to live since Thirteen seems to be "inviting" him inside. In the meantime, with some awkwardness, he's been relieved to have found an occasional blood donor in Ariadne.

(frozen comment) May 2024
Player Name: Magellan
Summarized Activity: Astarion officially moved in with Tav! He's building CR with Vanessa Ives, who makes him nervous.
(frozen comment) Re: May 2024
(frozen comment) August 2024
Player Name: Magellan
Summarized Activity: Transitioning back from hiatus - Astarion has found some sympathetic blood donors and is still a huge fanboy of Drizzt (and no one was surprised about that). He's discovered his little baby Legend wings are growing, and he's not sure how he feels about that.
(frozen comment) Re: August 2024
(frozen comment) September 2024
Player Name: Magellan
Summarized Activity: Astarion is getting better at ignoring/functioning with his weird little wings. He was whisked to Amrita with Tav and is sticking close to the half-drow, while very thankful to have such a good friend in Airy there as well. He thinks it's a little weird that there are so many blood donors who are just volunteering for no personal benefit, but he still appreciates being able to eat. He's working with the Scouts but his routes are nocturnal.

(frozen comment) October 2024
Player Name: Magellan
Summarized Activity: Astarion has largely been on autopilot after I got sick mid-month. He's continued to stick close to pro-vampire CR.
