[ 2022 Check-in Page ★ 2023 Check-in Page ★ 2024 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 engaged with 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 specific 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 engagement in the game with the character.

August 2025

Character Name: Mayerling
Player Name: Sil
Summarized Activity:

🩰 In the end, it was no surprise to Mayerling that Sharon became a Myth after all that's happened to her. She's always embodied both Familiar and Myth traits to him (even some Legend ones, she's the whole package). However, the loss of their Familiar bond hurt incredibly, like something essential was missing from him. They're still soul mates. They're still married. That sense of each other, however, is absent. Looking at how Sharon's doing on his wrist, via his soulmate bond, feels like something from the outside instead of the inside. As a vampire, Mayerling always has big feelings, and he has to process these ones as well.
🩰 Mayerling has taken to do all the shopping, errands, and other chores outside the home. They are so much FUN when you don't have to exist in a bubble, at least when that is something new to you. He's also taken to performing gardening during the day, ooh la la. The only "weeds" in his garden are intentional.
