March Activity Check

Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


AC Rules!


  • -Comment to this entry using the above text box, once for each character. You may combine multiple characters into one post.
  • -We'll be accepting any activity for this check that occurred between January 11th and March 7th.
  • -You will need to post two Examples of Activity and an Activity Summary for every character you have in the game. (See below)
  • -Any character accepted in the most recent application cycle (February 15th onward) will not be required to participate in this Activity Check.
  • -You will have one week from when this post goes up to provide your activity check (so until end of day March 14th).

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITY

Examples of activity are really straightforward: we just need you to give us the URL to any two of the following:

  • -A Link-network post made by your character containing at least 20 comments of any kind
  • -A log post made by your character containing at least 7 comments of any kind
  • -Any thread in the main community in which your character has made at least 10 comments
  • -Any thread in the logs community in which your character has made at least 5 comments

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.

Character Name: Quickstrike
1st Example: Find himself a new bossbot! and Friendly chat with Whirl
2nd Example: Quickstrike dances with the Sugarbot
Activity Summary: Quickstrike has been fairly directionless over the past while. With no bossbot to tell him what to do or who to kill, he doesn't really know what to do with his life. Thankfully he has Blackarachnia to occasionally distract himself with. Recently he had a chat with Wheeljack, and then officially made the wrecker his new boss. Yay!

Character Name: Cheetor
1st Example: Cheetor is honest with Blurr
2nd Example: Dancing with a Vehicon
Activity Summary: Cheetor hasn't been up to much lately, occasionally chatting people up on the network or trying to discover areas he hasn't found yet. Considering how fast he is, he's quickly starting to find the Haven a little boring. But he's still a part of the police force, so he'll stick to it as much as he can.

Character Name: Four
1st Example: Have I changed?
2nd Example: Dancing with a pretty lady
Activity Summary:

Four has been fairly busy this time around. And by busy I mean he died at one point. Having left to go play with Tarn, Four ends up being handed over to Frenzy, though he doesn't remember Frenzy's part in his own death. Assuming that Tarn killed him, he mentions this to Rung while they were talking, and Rung asked if Four wouldn't mind staying with him. Four eventually agreed and was definitely happy to play with Rung's ships. Four also notes that his glyph has completely changed, and spent some time worrying that Liege didn't like him anymore. He has it explained to him, and eventually stops worrying so much.

Being the awesome little stitchpunk he is, Four boldly asks Shockwave to the dance under the pretense that the two of them were going to gather information. Which they did, but Four was more interested in seeing if he could get the one-eyed scientist to spend time with him. Four went ahead and wore a dress to the dance and ended up dancing with Kay at one point.

Asking questions and learning things is Four's purpose, and he continues to occasionally ask the Haven little questions about life and death. He even offers to work as an organizer for Megatron's school idea. Organizing is his way of life. Though he isn't aware of Frenzy's roll in his death, he does feel very uneasy with the Decepticon, and even went as far as asking if someone wouldn't mind engineering a weapon for him, something that drastically goes against his own beliefs.
