A [[Yin-Yang Bomb]] of [[Anti Poop Socking]] and [[Just One More Level]], this is when a game encourages you to play every day.

This is the case with pretty much any browser-based persistent world. As well as daily rewards to encourage regular play, you get punished for being offline too long in any of the following ways:

Line 6:

* You accumulate resources over time; by allowing them to build up, you're making yourself a juicy target for attack

* In addition to either of the above, other people are progressing while you're not.

* ''[[Pokémon]]'' has been doing this since Gold and Silver, mainly with the lotto.

Line 22:

** There's also a reward for getting 200 messages via Mognet. The most you can get is two per day (and you only get the second one if you haven't been playing for more than three days) so checking every day is the best way to do it.

* In ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'', players receive a minimum of forty adventures per day, with a [[Cap]] of 200. Players can gain extra adventures by consuming food, booze and... uh... spleen damaging items. There is a maximum amount of these you can consume each day, and every day you don't fill up is wasted turns. Given that a player with decent resources can obtain around 150 turns in a day after food, this means that you can only skip one day (Assuming you log on long enough to eat on the off day) before he starts losing turns.

** Also, there are many one per day, use it or lose it things, like the 4k free meat from the Organic Grocery, or the use of the He-Boulder's yellow ray ([[One Hit Kill]] that leaves all of the things a monster [[Randomly Drops]]). You find yourself logging in daily just for these things. Note that most of them are things that you have paid good money for.

* ''[[Wii Fit]]'''s anthropomorphic Balance Board tries to guilt-trip you if you don't do the body test every day.

* Everything related to boat/train parts at the end of recent ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' games.
