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) Azem | Final Fantasy XIV
(frozen comment) February 2024
Player Name: Azem
Summarized Activity: Having been only recently arrived when she then disappeared into a month-long coma, Azem has had some Feelings about this whole place to work through, which is something she's trying to do. She spent some time working on her skills as a familiar, and spent some time with old friends as well as forged new relationships she looks forward to developing.

(frozen comment) March 2024
Player Name: aki
Summarized Activity: Azem questioned the peoples of Folkmore about something special from each of their worlds. In doing so, she made some new friends, and she also learned a few things about her own world that she didn't know. She now has some Questions, and she's looking forward to getting answers.

(frozen comment) April 2024
Player Name: aki
Summarized Activity: This month, Azem spent some more time between homes, trying to figure out what she wants to do in terms of her living arrangements. She's admittedly kind of enjoying the nomadic life, though! She also spent some time with her friends while continuing to make new ones too.

(frozen comment) May 2024
Player Name: Azem
Summarized Activity: Azem was brave and reached out to a long time friend whose memory of her she knows is poor. For now, she's decided to continue living as a nomad even within Folkmore! She also continued to practice her animal transformations.

(frozen comment) June 2024
Player Name: aki
Summarized Activity: Business as usual for Azem this month! She spent some time with some friends, but mostly started giving some thought as to what she'd like to do with herself here— she's started really understanding just how outside of her usual comfort zone this place is.

(frozen comment) July 2024
Player Name: aki
Summarized Activity: When the Seelie Court came to play, Azem found herself in a body that more closely resembled the form Hythlodaeus remembers her wearing. While her friend himself was a child, they talked and played together.

(frozen comment) August 2024
Player Name: aki
Summarized Activity: Azem spent some time enjoying the festivities with the Seelie, and definitely spent a little time using illusory abilities to trick people as to her own talents (re: juggling fire and so on). The event as a whole was a lot of fun for her, and she's learning that in a world not as wide as that she's used to, she enjoys just being with people and making them smile.

(frozen comment) September 2024
Player Name: aki
Summarized Activity: During the trial, Azem was assigned to the task of healing. While being something she hasn't had to do in a while, it's something for which she's always had great aptitude, and she was thrilled to throw herself into her job. She worked on any patients who visited her with her usual jovial attitude, joking and teasing in ways that would help to heal injuries in their mood and spirit while setting her personal magic and her (somewhat more limited) medicine skills to their body.

(frozen comment) October 2024
Player Name: aki
Summarized Activity: Azem's time this month was spent mostly with Hythlodaeus. Now that it's just the two of them, they've been leaning on each other even more than usual. She's even found herself a permanent home, finally—his! No more of the nomad's life for her.
