Chronological Order
All events are listed in years after the fall (AF) of the Seleucarian Empire.
16th of Aeguary, 172 AF:
Modern Age of Achaea begins.
Other notable events in 172 AF:
Erebus becomes first mortal to enter Achaea.
Maybe the original Erebus suicided.
Lawl.
Ultimately though, messages are a more difficult thing to explain in IC terms because letters are actually a thing too and because messages are used for system things that are blatantly OOC in addition to their IC usage.
If you send me a message, and it's OOC, that's cool. If you send me a message and it's IC, and reference it later IC, I just act like you sent me a real letter.
Yeah, it's a kind of a hand-wave mechanic that just exists for convenience and practical reasons, but there's no reason to let it ruin your immersion.
I did idea a while ago, for custom mail messages (from the silver whistle) to have the same colour configuration as other mail so deliveries wouldn't be missed. I've missed seeing letters arrive while deffing up or doing other things, and I've had one or two decay on me before I got the chance to read them because people insist on sending letters with only one or two months left on them, and I never noticed them arriving.
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Will they be events on receiving/curing, and/or affliction statuses that can be checked at any time (i.e. gmcp.Char.Afflictions.paralysis).
It'd be cool if we could get GMCP support for defences too, but I'm happy enough with afflictions that it's just an after thought.
It functions exactly the same as the player/item events. There's an Add event, that's fired on receiving an unhidden affliction or gaining a defence. There's a Remove event, fired on curing an affliction or having a defence visibly stripped. And there's a List event, fired when you check DIAGNOSE or DEFENCES.
So, no, you can't just check a gmcp list for if you have afflictions, because the List table isn't a active list of your afflictions/defences... its just a list of afflictions/defences you had at the last time you checked DEF/DIAG. You'll still have to maintain a clientside list of current afflictions/defences.
Sash - 500 credits, +1 Int
I mainly just save the credits from IE membership, so none of them are entirely out of range. I'd originally intended to go with the SoA, as it's probably the best overall artefact, but then they bumped the price up and meh, now I'm not sure it's worth it (to me). I feel like anything that increases my overall damage output would speed up hunting, but I'm unsure as to how much of a difference any of those things would make.
The sash sounds good, as I'm under the impression that stoneskin and diamondskin benefit from increased intelligence, as well as most of my attacks.
The sip ring seems like an obvious candidate, but does the increase apply to the amount I currently sip for or my max health? I sip for about 650 now, at 3500 health, so would I sip for 650 + 10% or a different number? I feel like it would increase my health per second regeneration, which makes me more tanky, so no running when bashing. Same concept for the bracelet, but it doesn't make much difference. An extra....175 health?
The collar seems pretty good too, as 10% increase in damage means a 10% reduction in time spent per denizen. So if I'm in lawnmower mode, it'd drastically increase my bashing time. Unless I land into the 1% on last hit, overkill problem, then it doesn't make a difference at all. Same reasoning behind the crit pendant. How much of a difference does 2% -really- make?
Anyways, any advice on which artefacts are best for bashing out of the ones I've mentioned, or any clarification on some of the math behind the stat-altering ones would be greatly appreciated.

SoA, Lv2 sip, Con belt all good initial artifacts for Magi (in that order), defensive wise.
