2022 Halloween Avatar Contest: SB118 Ops 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 24 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Avatars must remain in their costumed forms until at least Monday, October 31 at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
• Do not post anything except check-ins here – no other discussion or joking around, please!
• 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:
