lostcompass | FEBRUARY ACTIVITY + ARC III PREP

Hey everyone make heart eyes at February! January activity results are in below for you — as are a few preparatory questions to get us all ready for Arc III: The House of Ravens.

ACTIVITY

The activity check is mod-run, and you do not need to do anything unless your character is listed below. Please try to use character tags when you make or tag into posts or logs — it helps find your activity!

Regular activity requirements are one of the following during the AC month:

■ a network post
■ OR 10 text/network-style comments across at most two threads
■ OR five log comments across at most two threads

Activity can be carried out on either the game communities or character inboxes. Drop a line until 5 February if you want to reclaim a character, or if they have activity that hasn't been tracked! Reclaimed characters must produce 50% more activity proofs (15 network comments or eight log comments or two network posts.)

Inactive in January:

Sansa Stark ( Game of Thrones ) — emergency hiatus in place, will not be swept
Alina Starkov ( Grishaverse ) — RECLAIMED
Lee Chang ( Kingdom ) — RECLAIMED
Bai Mingyu ( Original Character ) — RECLAIMED
Fox Martin ( Original Character ) — RECLAIMED
Wicked Thistle ( Original Character ) — RECLAIMED
Achilles ( Song of Achilles )

A CURSE UPON YOUR COW

The House of Ravens will revolve around the theme of Redemption and feature... a great deal of curses that characters must break. Further details will become available on arrival, but fresh entrants to the villages will each receive two curses over the duration of the Arc: an "ancestral curse" that will command them to pay for the sins of a village elder, and a later curse that will require them to compensate for their own wrongdoings.

For both curses, you can choose between sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony/drunkenness, wrath or sloth/indifference. Characters will have to devise ways to make up for these faults, depending on the storyline given to them. ( ex: choosing 'gluttony' could task your character to make up for a man who condemned a poor family to starvation by stealing all their grains during a period of famine. )

OTHER NOTES

■ The February calendar is now up! The locations and Story So Far pages will be updated mid-February once the Ellethia travel arc has ended.

■ We could carry out an end-February test drive meme, coinciding with the new Arc arrival. Or we could hold one in late March or early April, when everyone's a bit more settled. What's your preference?

Thank you, everyone!

If you're in favour of a test drive meme, would you prefer one in late February, coinciding with arrival at the villages of Arc III, or would you prefer it in late March/early April?
