January 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 required 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.

GUNMAX
1st Example: McCrane and Gunmax have a case of the feels for each other.
2nd Example: Happy New Year!
Activity Summary:
- Like many, he was damned pissed about Overlord being released, since Overlord killed some friends and also ripped him in half. YEAH THAT SURE SUCKED.
- At first, Gunmax was damn excited to have Toudou be present. He asked the old mechanic to redesign him so that he can fire the Max Cannon on his own; Toudou did so.
- When Liege offered to take in the Glyphless as they slowly went crazy, Gunmax was forced to watch Toudou submit himself. Gunmax watched his father figure slowly go insane and probably die.
- Gunmax briefly visited Wing after Drift died. Sure was a depressing thing.
- Knock Out returned and Gunmax gradually has been making friends with him.
- Having enough with how shitty things were and how crappy his life has been, Gunmax ultimately decided to quit the police force after Vandal was finally found. Though he has many reasons and said as much that he has plenty of reason to leave, such as being done with being abandoned by people leaving, going crazy, or dying, Gunmax has an ultimate reason he's not admitted out loud: Gunmax left the police force so he could try to kill Overlord. Also, he taught Kagerou what "Buttfuck" means.
- Also, Gunmax spent Christmas delivering Christmas cards to everyone and a few various gifts! It was at this point Knock Out agreed to upgrade him so he could fire his own cannon by using the blueprints that Toudou designed for him.
- Gunmax has been variously a dick to new people arriving.
- McCrane eventually called out for Gunmax. The motorcyclist met up with him and they had a deep heart-to-heart and talked about feelings. McCrane admitted he was attractive to Gunmax; Gunmax almost tsundere'd outta there, b-baka! They hugged and held hands and it was very touching.
- He had a race with Kagerou and threw a rebellious teenager hissyfit at Ratchet.
- Gunmax got fireworks again! This time, it was for the New Year. He gave some gifts away and received some in return. Also, he decided it was a good opportunity to kiss McCrane at midnight. N-not because he likes him or anything, baka!
- He plans to have himself reconfigured to have a vehicle mode, eventually.
Re: GUNMAX
Alignment Adjustments will be announced in a follow-up post a few days from now, so keep an eye on the OOC comm.
