High points for me were: - shuttling piles of adventurer corpses early on in the fight from Eleusis to the tree - fighting Mhaldor while fighting the Dala'myrr - rallying into a single ~50 person group after getting curbstomped over and over again - and most of all this moment:
(Party): Sothantos says, "We are killing Mhaldor first. Follow me."
and then unanimous consent from citizens of every city in the group.
Honestly, I thought that the harassment from team Mhaldor elevated that
event in a big way. The skirmish outside of Eleusis after we 50-person
raided Mhaldor had a time-sensitive tenseness to it, and I loved the
side-skirmishing when you guys started making it back to the fight.
I'll close with this:
%group You are in a group led by Sothantos. Other group members consist of: Adrik, Aelius, Aelyn, Aliandor, Alyssea, Amranu, Andraste, Archaeon, Argwin, Atalkez, Auria, Balsam, Breakstone, Colgano, Davok, Elyra, Giddieon, Glathna, Gurklukke, Halos, Irissa, Jiah, Keorin, Kondar, Krystahle, Liena, Lulinia, Lyndee, Mina, Minxie, Mosey, Paisly, Pani, Ploutos, Reyl, Shirszae, Sorlia, Sphera, Tahquil, Thraze, Tianondria, Torrent, Trendric, Tukio, Vadanea, Vinceres, Vivena, Zadkiel, Zbaco, and Zephyl.
Okay, this might get a bit long. First off, @admin, this event is really fun, and I love the design of the mobs to be more than hit over and over, they actually require thought an using different skills to kill. Secondly, @Cyrene, you all are fun to play with and talk to both in and out of character. I loved the conversations today for both, and it just really helped me feel more engaged with Achaea than I have been in irl months, maybe a year actually. Third @Soth... what ever the rest of your name is, thanks for catching on to tha pack thing and making us function like not crazy people, that was not overly complicated, the boss was shouting what the answer was, but we were all to focused on die mobs die. Fourth, @Keorin, you are fun to interact with and are a good cl, which is actually something really hard to be. Finally, @randomMhaldorian I did not bother with your name, kinda forgot to learn anything but the first three letters to look for you. The claiming a bounty part way through was kind of fun, and added an extra layer of tention where I had to keep mass up so could not be hoisted and had to focus really hard on not dying. You cost me two deaths but made the event a little more fun for me personally, so it was worth it.
Speaking of the current event, I've loved it. I've fought alongside people I -never- would have thought I'd be cooperating with on anything, and now there's a real anticipation of just what's going to come next.
People in Aetolia would say over and over.... "Achaea doesn't have RP and everyone acts OOC all the time".....
LIES MATILDA
The roleplay and the interactions since coming here are insanely amazing, the events thorough and well played. I really wanna thank Cyrene, but also even the folks of every other City for really embodying their representation and sharing their characters.
Also dying a ton is fun if you have a reason to do it. ...or if you just want Pani to backbreaker you for the lols.
Thank you, the past couple days and the Lupus event have been absolutely amazing.
Achaea. A mini world in itself. The traditional MUDD. Yet it is within this small world that wonders can actually effect us OOC.
Everyone has difficult times in their lives. I am going through one of them. Yet, in the insanity that IRL drama can have (won't go into details, but those who know know), often a feeling is left of fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and similar concern that in the end, Murphy's Law ("If it can go wrong, it will or already has.") will prove true.
During this time, the strange normalcy (even with @Lupus going on a rampage) is reassuring. @Proficy still mines. @Dunn still takes a break from murder...when he logs out. @Sartan is still more terrifying than any lawyer or the IRS. @Aegoth is still the Natsu of Mhaldor (First response to any situation..."Burn it."). @Crixos is still going to do the forays. @Akri and @Lynair along with @Minkai, @Kinilan, and other Pirates are still going to have Sarapin be Dia del Kraken Hunting. @Tarly is still on Tuar (poor Nelbennir). @Doromath still has his obsession with demons and legenddeck cards. @Boosteya is still going to be the Novice Herder (why herd sheep when you can herd novices?) @Penwize still hunts islands whether denizen or bounty. @Stheno still has her scaly friends. @Andraste is still going to go "Aroo!". @Aelyn is still going to be the Granma. @Archaeon is still going to be the Targossian who is a noble fighter.
Eleusis still vivifies, Hashan is still in the Dark (pun intended). Even the randomness of the shouts by the denizens is something that, while strange, can be relied upon.
I had gotten away from my Aroo-ing ways in lieu of more distinguished RP devices, but it is very hard to resist the Aroo with Lupus awake and about, so who knows. It may be making come back.
So..after a fairly slow first quarter the Gods really picked up the pace in April...the question now is how will Sartan catch up...Logosmas killing spree?

There is a such thing as tempting fate. Then...there is tempting the annihilation of entire cities. Also... @Saonji, there is a such thing as tact. I've known people who were in IC Divine Orders and lost them or even just in a city patroned by them. The pain they felt IRL was real. More than a few people actually put their hearts into their chars. These are not just Marios they can up and redo everytime a Goomba kills them. These are actually characters that in a sense become part of us that we put countless hours into. We pour blood, sweat, and tears into these literary beings that are part of a diverse world. Yes, Achaea is a game. However, it is also one that can be very intense for many. To simply toss aside the loss and the hard work that so many did is akin to simply braying.
Isn't that a tally of which Divine zapped/offed more players? Or am I misunderstanding something? Not sure what it has to do with any other events. Either way, I for one believe strongly in the murderous ability of the Biggest, Baddest Boss of ours. MurderGod 2020!

Challenge accepted.
We'll see...I'll be reposting the results on New Year's eve....better get cracking...er zapping? :P
With all the rants, I'd like to rave at @Farrah@Accipiter@Amranu for not dogpiling me when they had 100% rights to do so. Hashan as a whole gets a bad rap often over a select group of people. I have personally seen each of these people go the extra mile to help change that stereotype when it's not up to them to do so. Allows some fun interactions. Like the discord title says: Some of us may be enemies in-game, but let's be friends IRL Enjoy!
There hasn't been a rave in a month, so I will post two.
First, thank you so much to @Draqoom for unknowingly helping me start a new Hashani tradition by being my guinea pig and creating this masterpiece for the soldiers:
Blackest obsidian has been crafted and tooled to create the shape of a fractured tower. Veins of
silver have been worked into the base to add minute detail to the piece and bring the building to
life in all it's crumbled glory, from shattered summit to the tendrils of obsidian shadow writhing
around what remains. A sturdy backing allows fastening to even the hardiest of material to allow the
proud display of triumph of the wearer.
Engraved on it are the words:
For the destruction of the Cyrenian Pantheon, 16 Sarapin 845
Second, an even bigger thank you to Balfriel, who unknowingly has sealed this tradition as a keeper in my eyes with the second award presented to soldiers for an act of heroism:
Blackened steel tank shrapnel and chunks of scorched stone from the fallen Cyrenian Pantheon have
been used to create this armband. The pieces of mangled steel have been fused together and beaten
into a ring, with rubble fitted into gaps created during the shrapnel folding. The jagged edges that
rest upon the wearer's arm are a constant reminder to stay vigilant, or share in the fate of the
fallen.
Engraved on it are the words:
For the fall of the Cyrenian Pantheon, 5 Auguary 847 AF
I feel these designs need to be appreciated by others, as much as we enjoy them ourselves!

So, in a short word....Thanks.
My scaly friends are very comforting and familiar. This feathery one confuses me.
Reaching down with a massive hand, Sartan lifts your head and draws a taloned finger across your throat, the wound closing as He does so.
Disappearing from Achaea for now. See you, space cowboy.
