My actual life might be in shambles, but rave to @Nicola, @Makarios and the rest of the coding squad for getting an artefact sorted out with the quickness! Ironbeard's Finest cask now works.
One of my favorite things to do in Achaea to this day is to listen to new characters tell their backstories, ask lots of questions, and watch them flesh out their characters right before my eyes. No offense to the people who love killing things, but the roleplay is just too awesome sometimes.

I am loving the new group of characters streaming into the merchants house. They're delightful. I've also met a few novices outside of my house who have such hilarious personalities. I'm really glad someone raved about this, I was about to.
Edit: My blood lining fingers must be itching because I have been watching a couple little serpent characters. Never done it before, but there is one that definitely makes me want to.
There are too many to name, but thank you to all the presenters who pulled together presentations and shifted schedules to be here today. We really appreciate it and hope you enjoyed your five minutes in the limelight (literally). We hope that everyone enjoyed listening to the presentations today in this world event.
@Ellodin, we work magic together. Thank you for always being an amazing partner-in-crime and bringing levity to Jurixe's stoic character. None of this would be possible without you.
And to the Garden who helped us with the portal, the streamers, the denizens and that amazing mural honouring all the Gods who were represented today, thank you. That was totally unexpected and was a surprise we will cherish!

Never have I felt so anxious about an in-game presentation before, nor worked so hard for one.
Thank you, @Ellodin, for putting up with my countless drafts, @Yae for encouragement and @Iakimen for turning up for the presentation and the pavilion!
Thank you to @Trey and @Leiri, for coming to the pavilion and entertaining me with some conversation. This lycopod plant is also very adorable.
Thank you to @Jurixe for hosting the second Asterian presentation, as well as the denizens for spicing up the event!
The variation in the different presentations were interesting and is an accurate representation, at least to me, of how each Order has their own brand of what truth is and why we see conflict drawn along those lines.
Here's to many more of such world involving, player-held activities in the future!
Valaria, my character, was thinking to eat that smuggler at convention. but after long speech from each represent, i feel that my mind is full so much I no longer feel like to eat that smuggler at the convention.

Tecton, the Terraformer has bestowed His divine favour upon you. It will last for approximately 1 Achaean month.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the convention, whether as presenters, audience, or members of discussions afterwards. I'm very glad that people seemed to enjoy it, especially the presenters who invested their time and effort. As for the people who I directly touched in preparation for action:
@Jurixe is the event queen. Without her drive to host these, our creation would be a relic to be discovered, rather than a living organization that reaches out and touches characters. It began with only the two of us, running into each other as we looked into locations for an out-of-subs plot sale and sharing the thought of, "It would be awfully interesting to build a resource for the greater public." The greatest strength we have stems from the ability to combine our ideas and refine each other's thoughts through discourse, as we often see distinctly different approaches to the same end visions. May that never change.
Given the basic idea of "show, don't tell," @Marisella found an elegant solution and executed it wonderfully. Though I raised a great deal of fuss over both the message conveyed and the specific way it was communicated, she continued to invest great effort and earned an outstanding result. Per aspera ad astra.
Onwards we go!
And as he slept he dreamed a dream, and this was his dream.
Finally, last rave is specifically for @alrena. A million questions, patience, and an amazing ability to make me want to push mini well past what I thought. I've been absolutely thrilled and driven in the crucible and house tasks (although with assignments as well I seem to forget to do things as well!)
Overall, it has been amazing, and if I missed anyone I'm sorry, but it's been an eye opening and memorable experience for me!

Never, not once, have I ever had a positive experience in any house at all. As a matter of fact, I have always been dead set against them for most of my IRE play time.
These Harbingers are no joke, though. I've been made feel included from the moment I joined the house. I literally just joined the house yesterday, and already was invited to give opinions on matters that new members rarely get to effectively voice. The RP is outstanding, and they seem to put a lot of effort into a sense of brotherhood and unity.
Give us -real- shop logs! Not another misinterpretation of features we ask for, turned into something that either doesn't help at all, or doesn't remotely resemble what we wanted to begin with.
Thanks!
Current position of some of the playerbase, instead of expressing a desire to fix problems:
Vhaynna: "Honest question - if you don't like Achaea or the current admin, why do you even bother playing?"
@Ahmet for helping with all my weird mmp and ndb technicality questions. Has been helpful since I met him and if he doesn't have the answer he usually tries his best to find it! Plus just a cool person.
@Eril for always trying to be the voice of reason when he needs to be. Has been very helpful as I continue to try and progress my characters story in Cyrene. Not much of one yet, but that takes time. Don't want it to feel or appear forced.
and last but not least!
@Kayeil What is there to say I haven't. Still kicks ass at running the shop. We recently got engaged which is exciting too! She's been very helpful with my tasks and making sure I turn in quality work instead of quick work. Reviewed the first piece of poetry I've ever written in Achaea. Criticism was fair and helped me get an idea of how other people perceive your writing. They may get something else out of what you wrote or may find confusion even when it makes perfect sense to you. Very kind, patient, and helpful. So thanks!
Up until I made a character in Mhaldor, I had no real interest in doing anything PK-related. Even then, I originally threw in with the Insidium because I wanted to do spooky ritual stuff more than just smash sword in face all day.
But the entire feel of the city and the frequent raids, defences, etc, are slowly turning me into a murder machine. So, rave for Mhaldor. And @Proficy, @Ailea, @Aegoth, @Alrena, @Ysela and all the other dudes and dudettes.
OK so big rave to everyone who was involved in the Targ/Ashtan Raid just now, except the random 18-year old self-proclaimed combatLord who is now on ignore.
Lots of people have names, so sorry if I forgot to mention a person with a name.
That was fun, and forced me to use my skills when I've been all like, "Nop I'm not even gonna try to fight because my code is half stuffed". Thanks Ashtan for believing in me enough to lead you straight into a totem, and certain death, two times. Bigluv and well done Targ that was clean and beautiful.

Was a bit of craic alright. Saw a few of you logged in and thought we'd give it a go.
Thanks for responding! Often people just don't bother anymore
He is a coward who has to bring two friends as backup to jump people hunting.
Right as I logged off for bed, no less. I always miss out on the action.
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."
Really about time I made one of these, I think! So many people have been wonderful in accepting me, and making this a wonderful place to play and have fun.
@Aerek & @Keorin I really can't thank you two enough for being my first mentors and combat teachers, I'd never have been able to get started with it, or get to where I am right now, without you two. You were patient and understanding, and helped me make sense of things. Both amazing!
@Zerda Was one of the first persons I met, and the helpfulness and generosity, to get me settled, was basically what made me want to develop and make my character more than I had first intended. I was clothed, fed, equipped, got help with my description, and help with making the world make a little more sense. Thank you!
@Edena & @Severina Both of you have honestly made Achaea a much more rewarding and fun place to play lately, our silly little interactions, and just general friendship, keeps making me want to come back again and again. I can't state enough how much you two mean to me enjoying playing.
@Meara You've been one of the warmest and nicest people I've met here, and I know I've been terrible about finding time to play with you lately, I really hope I can remedy that soon.
@Greoth The sudden friendship, understanding and generosity you've shown lately, is beyond what I'd ever imagine, or will ever be able to repay. Thanks so much for always just being there.
Thank you a lot to @Veff and @Shalana for always offering the coolest small moments of roleplay, and a delightful way to share little quirks together, you really help make the world come alive for me.
@Ahmet For always making time for my coding/technical questions, when I'm a bit stuck. Offering your time and patience with me, is something I really appreciate. I'd most likely still be stuck with a half-working alias and a few triggers, if it weren't for you.
@Calira & @Armali I still have little clue what's actually going on when I speak to either of you, most likely including what I'm saying myself, but I quite enjoy every little conversation regardless.
This is going to get too long now, isn't it? I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of people, and I'll probably make a new one, soon! Maybe a little shorter? Maybe a bit longer!
Thanks to everyone who's interacted and played with me, fought me, done silly little fun things, or had arguments and fights. Thanks to everyone who plays, and helps make Achaea feel alive and fun.

Nah, was super fun though! And first time I've properly totemed in a raid, so yay me!
