September Activity Check
Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AC Rules!
~
EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY
Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to any two of the following:
You may provide two of the same KIND of example (two Link posts, two log threads, etc.) Comment chains in which your character makes two or more comments at once will count as only one comment towards the total of the thread. If needed, you may combine multiple links to smaller threads until you have reached the minimum (so for ONE activity example, you could link to two main community threads with 5 comments each to reach the minimum ten comments.)
~
ACTIVITY SUMMARY
In addition to the two examples of activity provided, you must also give us an activity summary.
An activity summary consists of a small paragraph explaining what your character has been up to since the previous Activity Check (or since arriving in the game if you are new.) This can be as simple or as detailed as you would like! At the minimum, be sure to hit any events your character has participated in (either game events or character plots) and where they're currently residing. If you'd like to get more detailed (such as drawing up CR charts, mentioning what Firstforged they've talked with, or adding links) we're not going to stop you, as this will make a handy future reference for you as well as for us!
The activity summary will help the mods in determining alignment swaps, determining future Firstforged plans for your characters, and will also keep us from missing anything important about your character. In no way will your activity summary have any effect on you passing or failing activity check, unless it is completely absent. In other words, doing the minimum on this can't hurt you, but going above and beyond can help you!
~
EXCLUSIONS AND EXEMPTIONS
Characters are only expected to participate in an Activity Check if they have been in the game for a month or more. Generally, this means anyone who arrived in the most recent application cycle won't be expected to provide any samples of activity or a summary for that AC.
In order to qualify for an exemption to the Activity Check, you must have posted a hiatus of 2 weeks or longer to the official hiatus page during the period covered by the Activity Check. You may not request back-to-back exemptions, regardless of any length hiatus you may take. If you are unable to meet the requirements for activity due to real-life circumstances/an emergency, you MUST communicate with the mods before the end of the Activity Check.
~
FAILING ACTIVITY CHECK
If you fail to post to an Activity Check within the week that it is open and you have not contacted the mods beforehand, then any characters not posted will be dropped from the game. The mods will put up a list of characters in danger of being dropped at the end of Activity Check, at which point they will have three days to contact the mods and provide AC and explanation for failing it. After those three days have passed, the drops will be official and the characters will be removed from the taken list and PC page.
If you post to the activity check but do not meet the minimum requirements in your Examples of Activity, you will be given a one week period in which to provide one (or two, as needed to meet the minimum requirement) new example of activity of any kind. If you are able to do so, then you will have passed activity check and be fine (although the 'new' example of activity will not be usable in the next AC.) If you fail to do so, then your character will be dropped.

1st Example: Have some crystals
2nd Example: Asking Blurr to dragon sit.
Activity Summary:
* Rose joined IDW Megatron's expedition to the Badlands in which she found out that without her Dragoon armor, she heard the call, but with it on, her head cleared and she was able to fight. She found this both disturbing and relieving.
* She also joined as backup in capturing Tarn and Kaon. She was with the group that came in towards the end and went after Kaon. Afterwards, McCrane offered her to join the Police Force, which later she accepted.
* Since Smokescreen is gone and Tarn in jail, Rose is now the only member of the Defense Committee left. She is now trying to get other people to apply to join since she doesn't want all the decisions made by one person.
* She found a bunch very dense Crystals and has commissioned Knock Out to make her some armor that can go under her usual leather armor.
* She also got a motorcycle from the recent drop, in which she is trying to teach herself how to ride it. This is resulting in a bunch of scraps on her.
* Also she is setting a bad example by trying to avoid going to see the medics for an exam.
Character Name: Ravage
1st Example: Wanting to share teh goodies!
2nd Example: And visit a friend.
Activity Summary:
* Ravage has just been his derpy self. He had fun doing the Karaoke during the celebration and so he wants to do it again, and has been advertising for it.
* He also found energon fruit that he's been happily sharing.
* He brought some of those fruits to Thundercracker when the seeker was in the Medbay during the airshow. This meant that Ravage missed the airshow but he didn't mind at all.
* Also, during the Lambda drop, he found Bulkhead's package that contained a canon. Turned out that Bulkhead had his, which contained a ballpit, which Ravage is now happily playing in.
* Finally, he noticed that his glyph has gotten bigger. He's not sure what it means, but he's assuming it's good, and isn't too worried. So times he can be seen going around in circles trying to get a better look at it.
