I just finished running my event and it didn't completely tank!
I ran a sort of combination quiz and scavenger hunt for the city, on behalf of the Luminai, with questions ranging from 'easy' to 'requires legwork' to 'almost but not quite impossible'. My intent was a) to make a quiz more interesting than just searching helpfiles for the relevant info, b) to make at least a couple of the lore questions difficult enough that not even highly knowledgeable individuals could manage a perfect score, and c) to show off cool interesting trivia and make people think about the game world around them.
I don't think I totally failed at any of that (definitely not the second one), and a couple of the entries I received had wording at the end about how much fun people had finding things out, which was nice.

I have never seen Jir with one dagger, let alone four.
You have never seen Jir at all, because Jir is invisible.

We don't really interact as much as I'd probably like, but you have all been cool in your interactions with Cecelia, so I thought you guys should get a thumbs-up too!
Thanks for everyone for being part of Cece's journey and growth!
I wanted the first post to be a happy one, cause I'm a happy person. So!
First, big props to all the staff that do work/have ever worked on Achaea. This game is awesome and I'm having a ton of fun. You guys work super hard, and even though I don't know all your names, you are epic.
Thank you for helping me out when I first joined Targossas. You didn't have to, but you made sure I had everything I needed, took me hunting, and you even adopted the weird way Phayne talks, and made her feel comfortable. (Bit of backstory, Phayne is Human but lived in Inbhir Ness, so she has a slight Dwarven twang on some words. Nothing major, but it seems to bother some)
As sad as it is, cause we don't interact that much, you're actually the person I've talked to the most, so thank you for always making sure you say hello and see how I'm doing (fishing).
Looking at that list makes me think I need to get out more. If anyone ever wants to chat, I'm usually sitting on/near Muurn Lake, catching all the fish.
@Astarod is always fun to spar, especially for giving me a not-ridiculously artied target to practice Fire Lord against. (Though he's learning not to die to that anymore, sadly).
Even if his Air Lord is frustratingly frustrating to fight as all Air Lords are, I do appreciate the constant seeking of duels from him. Keep on rockin'.
Objects before you are briefly outlined in brilliant fire as you sip from a
resplendent bronze vial. Deucalion stares intently at Jiraishin for several moments before returning His
attention to some point in the distance.
You have emoted: Jiraishin quietly stands at attention.
Deucalion, the Righteous Fire says, "A pleasing vial."

More raves:
1. Hunting with truefavour and deathcape is amazing. Even more when I borrow L3 arties off a citymate and sip lucky. It's like having a Dragon-level health pool with accelerated Serpent speed.
2. I turned in a design for a new room in Targ. I'm excited: it's the first time I've ever gotten to design a non-subdivision room, (inb4 my design turns out to be horribly unsuitable and I cry and redo it better)
3. shiny objects
4. Fun RP and fun combat opportunities (sometimes from the same people) that make me happy I went Targ. @Farrah@Achilles@Issam@Adrik@Itkovian@Mezghardoesn'treadforumswhydoIbothertagginghim. Also quality enemy RP from @Thule whenever we get to interact.
5. Changes, they're a-comin', and I'm excited and definitely not anxious nope not at all oh god change
All in all, lots to rave about recently.

Rave: I'm up and online at 1:45 am on public wifi because the RP is just that good
Rant: I'm up and online at 1:45 am an hour away from home and my alarm is set for 7 in the morning and I'll be expected to be imaginative from 9 to 5 oh god

To everyone involved in Athelas's return to the realms:
Thank you!
I find it remarkable how willing people are to engage with him, and deal with his emotional damage. Between the lot of you, you've managed to keep him sane and slowly returning to his old self. If things continue like this, the longest running arch in his story could very well come to an end.
There might be fewer players around now, but I've found that the level of RP from the average encounter, has dramatically improved!
Its early days, and there's loads that's going straight over my head. I will certainly miss a few people I want to say a quick thanks to, and to them I apologise and hope they know I'm almost universally appreciative of everyone Palusa has encountered!
That said, I've been having a hell of a time thanks to lots of people.
@Ellryn has spent a lot of time guiding Palusa on her tentative first steps and negotiating the various social faux pars of Mhaldor, working out where the character is going is down a lot to you.
@Tasus has been amazing. There's been lots of little moments and efforts, not just involving Palusa at all but various people doing things that make engaging with the game all the sweeter. Lots of direct help as well as roleplay which I'm ever thankful for.
@Syndra has been fantastic, though I'm beginning to melt my brain trying to come up with thematically appropriate rituals. She's clearly deeply invested in Mhaldor as a whole and thats had a big impact on Palusa so far. Thank you!
@Doromath@Ailea, @Riell@Ysera@Mhaldor in general. I don't know how to put it, but its a small but involved community and its been fantastic.
@Plagho I hope you've been having as much fun as I have in our little conversations. I have no idea where its going, but its fun
@Lii, @Penwize, @Choryn@Athelas(I think, I apologise profusely if I got your name wrong, you met Palusa outside of Eleusis) and a few others: You made touring the other cities pretty fun, and took it seriously too. Thank you.
Maybe your problem is you just weren't Ashtani enough, and you weren't Ashtani when our awesome gods were there. And while I was Ashtani. Ashtan is now Besttan.

Sounds Mhaldorian. -squint-

You've all been super fun and cool to interact with! Keeping Cece's life enjoyable and always people to talk to and interact with.
@Marlo @Veilios
Thank you so much for helping me fund my tailor's license, and I hope to make lots of awesome stuff!
@Hashan
We get a lot of hate, but I think you're all pretty great and it's nice to be part of the community!
@Pisces and @Nerai
You guys have been pretty neat, and helpful with all of my questions and learning about the Sea or Tritons, or even just a chat here or there.
@Neraeos
Thank you for all the hard work you put into your realm and the interactions, or even just lighting up deathsight with a Tritonic battle somewhere!

(I'm looking at you here) @Dunn
You were mean. I'll never forgive you. (Even though I'm told you had a little laugh with the Herald about it later)
@Herev
You're doing a great job as my mentor, even if you keep scaring the beejebus outta me.
@Mezghar
