2021 Halloween Avatar Contest: Gorkon check-in

[Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf]

This thread is for each member of the crew to check in with their new avatar on their profile.

For a check-in to count, each crew member must include a funny quote, quip, or greeting (i.e.- "Trick or treat!") that matches the character or theme.

The more people you have checked-in, the higher your overall score!

Please read these instructions very carefully – missing any step may disqualify your crew!

• Participants must be checked-in to this thread by Monday, October 25 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Avatars must remain in their costumed forms until at least Sunday, October 31 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Please keep any other extraneous posts out of this thread as it will be used to count the ship's participants.
• Players can only check in ONCE per contest.
  • If you're playing two characters on two different ships, you have to decide which ship you want to participate with!
  • Your participation will not count against your second ship. We'll discount the other ship's roster to account for your participation on this ship.
• If you have crew members who cannot access the forum due to accessibility issues, the CO must notify FltAdml. Wolf. 

The second post in this thread must contain the following: 

1. A clear and direct announcement of the ship's theme.
2. Confirmation that your crew followed the "Halloween Avatar Contest avatars uploading process" exactly – use the "Section 3. Check your work" checklist to ensure you've not violated any rules. 

Here's an example:

“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding...”

"Lots of people believe consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe, like space and time. If that's the case, then it is turtles all the way down. We'll have this debate about our microbiome. About rocks and atoms and quarks. Until we have Gaia consciousness, there will always be an us-them divide, always a next frontier for empathy." 

-Steven Kotler, Last Tango in Cyberspace

[Alleran Tan]

"No matter how many prosthetic bodies you went through, this was the one thing that was always ticking away, keeping the same time as you. Nowadays that's far too fleeting, people entrust their memories to external devices because they want to set down solid physical proof that can distinguish them as unique individuals. That watch is all you have, though, isn't it? Your only external mnemonic device that identifies the person who you've been up to this minute."

"Oo, I love this town!  Love it like you might love a mother who popped you out on the steps of an orphanage and now stops you to ask if you got a smoke for her!"
