December AC

[letsgolegion]

While we're still doing the November Mid-AC Cycle Check-in, the mods have decided to take it easy on everyone for the holiday season, so this is a notice that there will be no Full AC at the end of December. Everyone will automatically be granted a pass on Basic AC, and, as a special holiday present, everyone will also get the Activity Bonus. There won't even be a check-in.

This is to cut everyone a holiday break and also because the mods will be vacationing, partying, and/or drunk for a good chunk of the end of December.

Seasons Greetings, everyone!

EDIT: Just an addition, but for those who are on AC warning that requires extra proofs for your next full AC, we're going to let that pass for December, since everyone is getting an AC reprieve, but for the Jan-Feb AC period, we do still expect players on warning to provide the required AC proofs to get off warning during the next Full Activity Check at the end of February.

We don't feel it's fair to allow consequences to failing an AC slide, but also feel it wouldn't be fair to ask for the extra proofs during a season when so many are busy, either, so we hope that's a fair compromise!

Hello, I'm Tempest ( isadiya over on plurk, if you want to friend me or PP me ) and I'm new to the game. I've heard many good things, I'm very excited to be here.

So. Raise your hand if you've ever wanted to see a villain try to be their idea of what a hero is. Well you're in luck, then, people who raised your hand -- also, put it down, the people around you are gonna look at you funny -- because I'm bringing with me Locus from the popular webseries Red vs Blue. And that is more or less exactly what he's here for.

Short version: Locus is a UNSC vet-turned-mercenary who has done some Very Bad Things, up to and including attempted global genocide. He then abruptly heel-turned and decided that the things he had done were in fact Very Bad, and that he was going to try to redeem himself.

But not by, y'know, turning himself over to the people he'd been terrorizing or seeking help or taking any actual responsibility for his actions. Nope. He's going to continue to be a stoic, violent, broken mess. Just aiming all that at people who might actually have it coming.

So. This Legion thing should be fun. At least there's rules and order. He lives for that stuff. He'll also be pretty handy to have on your side ( got enhanced physique, marksmanship, and even temporary invisibility on his side ) but...this guy isn't the easiest to make friends with. Hell. You'd have a hard time getting a glimpse of him outside of his armor.

Please try anyway. It's going to be hilarious or a disaster, and entertaining either way.

Looking forward to playing with you guys!
