September Activity Check


    Welcome to the September activity check for Diatu Magicademy! A reminder of our rules:

  • You must check in.

  • With each character's check-in, you may list two Actions -- things they undertook behind the threads and have been working on this month. This can be as simple as, for example, Explore, Study, or Suck Up, or more detailed information. These don't require thread links, as they represent your characters' activities during the normal day-to-day life that threads don't ordinarily capture.

  • When we process activity, we will give you the results of your actions.

  • Special September Note: Because of the confusion over Actions last month, we loaded everyone's rewards into the Diatu Master Spreadsheet directly. This month we will give you the results directly, as well as ask for clarification as necessary based on what you submit.

    Activity must be submitted by Wednesday, October 6 at 8 PM Eastern time.

August Activity Check and a Quick Note on Adventures


Actually the Adventure Note Comes First

    Hello, Diatuers! (Wow, that is terrible when written out.) We've seen a great deal of confusion regarding adventures, even from players the first time around, so we've taken a moment to discuss among ourselves to address this and will be making a change for adventures starting immediately.

    When responding to your request for an adventure, we will ask what level of mod involvement you would like: High, Medium, or Low.

    High involvement will have us essentially running the scene for you. This allows for more interaction with mod-created NPCs and greater potential for setting shenanigans, but will also add an additional party into the mix and thus cause delays in tagging and thread completion. It will also limit you to one single thread, which everyone in your adventure would need to participate in.

    Medium involvement is much like our original iteration: we will supply the shape of the adventure and leave you to do it as you see fit, and you will check back in with us when the adventure, or major steps of it, are completed. For example, should you end up fighting a horrible monster, you would thread out the fight substantially, then tag our response to your adventure request linking us to it and we will offer you the results (and next step where applicable).

    Low involvement basically turns y'all loose. Seriously, we are okay with this so long as you don't run our major NPCs. Beyond that, the setting allows pretty much anything you want to happen, within its scope and bounds. (You can totally wreck the setting. We expect this. It took something like three months at most to break the original metaplot into tiny pieces the first time?) Once you're done, we give you the final results.

    We'll go back through and hit the current adventure threads, where appropriate. Some adventures are not suited for this treatment: Sphinx riddles, for example, offer very little opportunity for us to get involved between "get the riddle" and "answer the riddle".

    On a final note, however, we want to clarify: adventures are meant, first and foremost, as group activities, meant to be threaded out. Even with High involvement, we will not run solo adventures.
