The Jayde Memorial Event: The Zone is now live!

Part One has been posted in it's entirety. Individual monster attacks are open to players to play out. Please refer to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. wiki for further questions or ideas on creature abilities and attacks!

Part Two will be posted a week from today! As per Jayde's original plot request post, the second week will mark the discovery of the Source of the event - and the resulting attack upon it and the uber-monsters protecting it. Without Strelok to lead the assault, the post will contain a handful of prompt-post enemy descriptions for players to respond to - or not, if you wish to freeform it up.

Additionally, thanks to the complexity of the source canon, our own Dragon has volunteered to assist with some NPC wrangling: redshirtstalker will be your generic info/helper NPC for the duration of the event.  

And another big thanks to all our helpstaff for their info gathering and fact checking for this event. While nothing could compare to having Jayde here running her event, sharing a canon that she loved, with our combined efforts, hopefully this event may be a passable shadow of what Jayde originally planned. She was a brilliant player and friend, and we won't soon forget her. <3

Thank you all who participate, and please enjoy the event!

As you have seen with Saeru's post, we are down to one full-time mod - namely myself, Goa. And while we still have our wonderful helpstaff, next week I start training for my own new, full-time promotion at work.

It has been hard enough to give this game and the people in it the attention they deserve as things have been, and I am aware we've been in a slow decline for some time. So it may come as little surprise that we are sadly announcing that this is our final open app round before End Game, which has been roughly decided to be set around the end of July.

We apologize to all the players this may blindside, and to the newer players and current reserves that hoped to have more time to play with us. Of course, this news puts a serious damper on any desire to app in, but as reserves were opened before this was decided, apps will open as-scheduled, and anyone who still wishes to join (or reapp) before the end will be welcome to do so.

It has been a pleasure playing with you all, and it has been a very good two-year run. ♥

That being said, we still have a few things left to play out before the end, and we hope you'll stick with us until then!

Hello Re-Alignment! It's time for the

~*~ ACTIVITY CHECK ~*~ ACTIVITY CHECK ~*~ ACTIVITY CHECK ~*~

There are some minor changes to the AC this round that will be carrying over into subsequent rounds: the AC requirement has been reduced to one example to better fit the slower pace of our game! Also, the AC form now includes an area for Character Alignment, to make things easier come Alignment Adjustment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Alignment:</b> <b>Activity Example:</b> <a href="INSERT LINK/LOG/THREAD URL HERE">WITTY EXAMPLE TEXT</a> <b>Activity Summary:</b> (This only needs to be a small paragraph or list of what your character has done. Feel free to be general (IE 'McCrane has spent the last two months trying to find fuel to survive, getting an engine overhaul, and then building all the places.') or to be specific (IE 'McCrane has made friends with Noisy Boy, working with him to construct a punching block while trying to come up with ways for him to defeat Midas and thus gain the other robot's respect. He's also been...' etc).

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 March 8th and May 12th.
  
• -You will need to post one example of Activity and an Activity Summary for every character you have in the game. (See below)

As a reminder - the game is called Re/Alignment. Your Alignment and Polarity can and will change - whether stronger, solidifying your connection with a Firstforged, or weaker, perhaps shifting you to another entirely. After every AC, after reading through the Activity Summaries and conversing with one another, the mods will make note on these changes based on what the Firstforged have seen.

Please note that while we keep a watch on things, there may be things we've missed. If your character has done something you think would have caught the eye of a Firstforged, or otherwise have an effect on their Alignment to a greater degree than what's noted here, please feel free to contact us. However, if you plan on using handwaved/off-camera actions to justify an Adjustment, they must be approved by the relevant Firstforged player. Also note that not everyone is on the list; this is intentional. Much happens behind the scenes, but shifts of power do not always manifest themselves in a visible way - especially not when multiple powers are involved. That doesn't mean nothing changes...

In terms of what these changes do; for some, they may simply be that weakening/strengthening of a Polarity, reflected in the visual appearance of a Glyph. For others, they may be more - actual granted powers. The characters who have been granted powers will be contacted by the relevant Firstforged as soon as possible.

The Adjustments for the the months of January to March are:
