Welcome to the Armada’s new activity event!

Sirius

The Armada will be instituting a semi-annual activity check. These will be pack-wide, collaborative situations where generally the pack is working together to achieve a specific goal. We aim to have the check approximately every 6 months, and feel it is a good compromise to no activity check at all or one that is too frequent and stressful. They will also not be rigorously timed.

Now that the pack has had the opportunity to settle into the new territory and hopefully free up some IRL time, we’ll be kicking off our first pack activity! Note: IRL things for both Koala and Sea have made this a bit more delayed than we’d planned, so there may be a little bit of liquid time required. Apologies!

As explained in the group threads, Sirius and Azure expect your characters to have helped with the move and the build-up of our new territories. Now that we’ve settled in and torn down the old, it’s time to build up the new! Your character can participate in any way you’d like. We would like to see IC threads for the task your wolf chooses, but there is no requirement or limit on how many threads you contribute to, so long as an effort is made.

Permanent Territory Modifications.
We are allowed to make permanent modifications to our territory descriptions, so long as the modification is realistic and threaded out ICly. This is an opportunity for any wolf to both complete the activity check and to help put your own voice into the pack. If there is a beneficial territory modification we didn’t think of that is not listed here, feel free to bring it up!

Modification ideas:
- Build stone walls (with small openings for travel) to enclose the ‘valley’, both on the north-western entrance as well as the south-eastern entrance. Multiple threads can be done on this, as it’s a large project. The walls themselves as we imagine them are visible on the pack map on the pack page!
- Build a watch post. Dreamer’s Col is more enclosed and protected, requiring more static patrols at various entrances rather than wolves to run the border. Two recommended builds are also displayed on the pack page under “Patrol Schedules.”
- Build gardens / greenhouse on the border of Mile High Woods and Dreamer’s Col.
- Build livestock pens / pastures along the same border.
- Security inspection - build ramps where necessary, place torches for lighting, inspect potential landslide zones / cave ins and secure those areas.
- Construct a new training area / barracks.
- Dig the storage cellar
- Build the new central area/ help design it?
- Baths / etc
If no ‘jobs’ are remaining and you can’t think of anything new to suggest, we’re willing to accept threads of building up your own densite into a home, or setting up shop stalls if your character intends to participate in the market!

Resupply
It is realistic to assume we could not bring everything from the Armada, making this a very good time for any gathering/crafting skill threads that will also count towards activity. These threads are less necessary than the permanent territory modifications but are still an option.

- Gather herbs and medicinal plants.
- Restock food / pelts / etc through hunts.
- Craft an item to be sold in the marketplace
- Acquire livestock / companion animals to be later bred/sold/traded.

Note: Anything threaded out / begun before the activity check announcement that qualifies will be counted. If you already took initiative in doing some hard labour, good on you!

All Done?

Send a link to Sea or Koala of the thread(s) you’ve completed! Anything that can be accepted by staff as a ‘permanent modification’ in maintenance will be linked there on your behalf (and IC rewards will be greater for wolves who participate in these modifications, as we’d like to get them done!) and we will also mark on this thread when certain jobs are complete / do not need more manpower, so people aren’t wasting threads on building the same wall twice.

Reward Programe

IN CHARACTER REWARDS
Your character’s greatest desire. Wolves who have gone above and beyond in the activity check will understandably have earned a bit more pull with Azure and Sirius. If you have an idea of something specific and unlisted that your character would like as a reward, bring it to us and we will do our best to make it happen.

- You can assume ICly that hard workers have been given more leeway in the days/weeks/months after. Breaks from things like patrols or work, approval for a mini-holiday, shift switching even if your partner doesn’t feel like it, etc.

- Hard workers will be assumed to have been given the best of supplies while the Armada rebuilds their stocks. Whether that’s pelts, food, etc, it’s for the most part up to you as a player.

- Character-specific purchases upon request. Sea and Koala are easily persuaded to share gems to purchase companions, armour, accessories and the like for wolves who contribute well to the Armada.

- Promotions! While we do not have any specific goals to reach, you can assume we’ll be looking through threads from Azure and Sirius’ eyes to see who contributes more than average, who is detailed and creative in their construction, and essentially whose character is working to benefit the pack and not just because it’s an activity check. Any stand-out character has a very good chance of earning a promotion when all is said and done.

OOC REWARDS
We are also trialing a rotating reward system. This is liable to change as we iron out the workings of it. For the next 6 months, any threads that benefit the Armada: be it a resupply, or a modification will get you an entry each month from now that you complete one into our rotating monthly reward raffle(Dm these threads to Sea). This will be either a $10 donation in your name, gems, or purchased art.

Starting 6/1/22
