New Year, New Us, New Writers, right? It’s been said before, but I’ll risk repetition and say it again: 2020 sucked. 2021 is in danger of sucking too unless! We grab it by the horns. Make this year better than last by setting healthy, attainable goals. Selfishly, of course, I hope this does include RP and that some of those goals will be post related. But why not make this year a physically healthy year, a mentally healthy year, and a prolific writerly year?
Enough preaching. Enjoy our first broadcast of 2021! We’ve got awards from last year below, new events, curveballs, new characters, and rule changes!

Christmas Advent Let’s all take a moment to thank Pam for making our Christmas Advent a success! And thank you all for participating in it! We’ll have a new holiday themed event soon, so stay tuned! (Don’t judge me for loving holiday themed writing stuff.)
January Activity Check New Year, New Start! Activity Checks for January will be going ahead as usual. Please take the time to reacquaint yourself with the requirements here. If you have any questions, real life circumstances that are making things difficult for you or if you need any help to find threads or plots in order to meet these requirements then please shout up, the staff team are here to help you out.
Rules Update There has been a bit of a pattern emerging lately of characters being dropped just for writers to then pick up new ones a couple of weeks later. While we understand that sometimes a character concept just doesn’t seem to settle well and we don’t want people to struggle if they aren’t enjoying their writing, the impact of dropped characters hits your fellow writers and your staff team. Picking up a new character before the dust has even settled can feel a little disrespectful to those you might have left in the lurch before, and if you dropped characters due to struggling with activity levels, seems a bit short-sighted too.
To mitigate this, we are introducing a two month ‘cool-down’ period after a character is dropped before we will accept applications for a new one. Usual post requirements/event interactions must have been met and you must not have had any characters on probation within that two months in order to be eligible to apply for a new character.
Member Challenge: Thump Thump Thump This week’s challenge is to make your character’s heart race in a post. It doesn’t have to be a new thread. All you need to do is make their heart race faster than ever. You could do this in a number of ways: fear, excitement, worry, romance, really anything you can think of! Anyone who completes this challenge will earn a member challenge point!
Pinterest Challenge: The 12 Feelings of the Holidays Hey, everyone! The 12 Feelings of the Holidays Pinterest challenge is complete! We only had two entries for this one, but please give a round of applause to Asteria and Maxie! Both of them completed beautiful Pinterest boards showcasing their holiday spirit. They have earned 5 points for completing the challenge. As for the next challenge, you should see it on the 20th, everyone!

Member of the Moment: Asteria Do you know why Aeipathy is still running as strongly as it is? Asteria. Do you know who shows up, day in and day out, without pay, to make sure we have an amazing place to role play? Asteria. Do you know who puts up with quite a lot of my weirdness? ...well...everyone but Asteria has to, too. Not only is she an amazing role player, a fast poster, and a great friend, but Asteria has been on fire as an admin. Let’s all thank Asteria for her dedication and hard work! We love you, Star Goddess!
Curveball Looks like the guard have been called out in A Song of Angry Men! A relief to some, probably painful repercussions for others.
Curveball When you’ve got a A Golden Afternoon, you don’t generally expect things to escalate quickly. Buuuut...It’s Judea. Things are never done half way. Go big or go home. Check it out!
Curveball The war is starting in Blood And Sand! Calling all Adoptables and soldiers! Go, go, go!

Information on African Events and Provincial Stories will be in the next written broadcast in two week’s time!
Greece
Athenia
The Best Around Date: Posidaios, 675 BC Location: The Arcus Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: From high born kings to the lowest slave gladiator. Welcome to the Games! Hosted in the infamous Athenian Arcus, men come from all over the known Grecian lands to compete in these trails of strength, speed, accuracy and skill. Individual events and timed games are happening, as well as one on one contests! Did you set out on a long term journey between kingdoms for this event? These men and women might wish to bring their partners along. With large numbers of people congregating, traders and merchants are going to want to turn up! Especially those who deal in the... lustful exploits of trade. How about gamblers? Bookies and money crunchers? Anyone who studies the human body and wants to see the way anatomy works in action. Healers for when injuries occur. And general spectators who want some good food, fine wine and an engaging day out! There is almost no single reason why everyone could not be at this event! And trust me - you might wish to be...
The Song of Angry Men Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Inner Circle and the Palatai Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Chaos. Complete and utter chaos. That’s the summary. Or… well, fine. @sofia and Danae of Stravos might die. It looks that way, as they are getting carried over the heads of @hector, @demi, and @ariadne towards the palace where Rafail of Marikas called guards to save his sister (and he supposes his cousin too). Speaking of probably dying, @marietta seems to have gone to sleep… for how long? @hebe out of the mess, though she’s looking to kick some serious shins. At least @hector is there to be the hero we all need- trying to protect both @ariadne and @marietta as well as the rest of the gaggle women. At least @adrestus is there to help them. Are you there, wanting to help one of these ladies before they die? Or are you one of the ones trying to burn @elysia and @cicero’s home with @iris also there holding a knife (come at her!)?
Colchis
Edge of Honor Date: Kuklios, 672 BC Location: Midas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Everyone in Midas gathers at the shore to set their offerings to the gods out to sea, praying to Ares and Poseidon, as well as the others in the pantheon, to protect their loved ones. Are you a merchant looking to make a bit of coin off those who seek the favor of the gods? This is a large crowd, including many of the upper classes. Are you seeking employment among the nobles now that the men are gone and there is much to be done in Colchis? It might do well to garner some favors here. And, yes, with large crowds are the potential for pickpockets and some drama. Don’t slip on the slick stone shores and fall into the water. Does a candle that goes out from an errant splash mean the doom of your loved one? Also...what is that moving out on the water? It’s coming right towards us!
Heavy Weight Date: Praratios, 680 BC Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What a surprise! Crown Prince Vangelis lost his bout to Captain @damocles, and many are in shock! However, the games continue as the newly minted victor is called to compete against @achilleas. A new competition has started between @lesley and @maleos, both competitors sizing one another up. High and low born can come and see, maybe gamble and lose a bit of coin. Voice your choice! Hear your cheer! Shout for the bout! There is a lot to be excited for here as the competition wages on. Or, perhaps, go find a bite to eat at one of the merchant stalls and catch up with a friend!
Winter Wonderland Date: Karneios, 684 BC Location: Archontioko Kotas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a Royal Wedding Reception! Yes, things are a bit cold - maybe you are just now realising that one cloak was not enough? Perhaps you can huddle around the fire and start a bit of gossip. Commoners, this is a prime time to get your faces noticed by the upper crust - did you bring some food and wine to the event to make a bit of coin? Are you representing a guild or a temple and want to ensure your face is seen by the Royals? Perhaps, you are a militant from elsewhere in the kingdom, representing your province well by serving as a guard for the event? And of course, every noble, young and old, would never want to have the rumor spread that they did not come to the wedding - what an insult to the crown that would be! What was that? The children are still making war with snowballs, and now a high Mihail of Thanasi joins his cousin @tythra. Speaking of the Princess, she looks worried about something. Did little @essa get lost in the crowd, or is her mother suffering from the drugs that she had? @zanon looked to have been leaving early only to have @yiannis stop him. Is it just me or are things getting… heated?
Artemis’s Honor Date: Artamisios, 676 BC Location: Eubocris, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: As @timaeus continues his investigation, with several observers including @celine and @adelpha, new evidence has been discovered - a dismembered human phallus! In her mouth! Have you ever heard of such a thing? Who would do that?? And more importantly…..who is missing something?? @damocles and @semiramis find themselves in a discussion about the motives behind it. With the entrances to the city blocked in an attempt to catch the murderer.. Is there someone that knows about such things? Is it a curse you’ve heard of? Also, do the markings on her body mean anything to you? Maybe you remember seeing a stranger in the market earlier and you could advise the Baron for them to be questioned. If you are not involved at this point, any sort of crowd can draw you in curiously.
Give Us Sanctuary Date: Apellaios, 672 Location: Vasiliadon, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: With refugees flocking towards the walled capital due to arrive any day now, the Order of Vasiliadon are enforcing a long forgotten law. They are entering the homes of nobles and confiscating their food stores, and are taking the goods of merchants that may be of use for the refugees. Already they have gone to the Condos home, and now the Leventi. Meanwhile @theodora is looking for @emilios or @xene. Hopefully she can find them soon- the capital can use a united front. Also watch out for @avra, her work got taken and she’s none to happy.
New Events
Gold is the New Black Provincial Story - Taengea
A new year is upon us, and the Kassotis celebrate it in style. Invitations have been sent to friends near and far. From the cold mountains of Colchis, the scholars of Athenia, and the people at home- Greeks gather in Argothia and specifically Kalospiti Sappheire to party. Tables have been set up for gambling- high rollers only. An endless amount of alcohol is served by elegant, luxurious women that for the price will be happy to keep you company for the night. Remember: What happens in Argothia, stays in Argothia. Read More...

Way In?: Everyone in Midas gathers at the shore to set their offerings to the gods out to sea, praying to Ares and Poseidon, as well as the others in the pantheon, to protect their loved ones. Are you a merchant looking to make a bit of coin off those who seek the favor of the gods? This is a large crowd, including many of the upper classes. Are you seeking employment among the nobles now that the men are gone and there is much to be done in Colchis? It might do well to garner some favors here. And, yes, with large crowds are the potential for pickpockets and some drama. Don’t slip on the slick stone shores and fall into the water. Does a candle that goes out from an errant splash mean the doom of your loved one? Also...what is that moving out on the water? It’s coming right towards us!
Heavy Weight Date: Praratios, 680 BC Location: Pieria, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What a surprise! Crown Prince Vangelis lost his bout to Captain @damocles, and many are in shock! However, the games continue as the newly minted victor is called to compete against @achilleas. A new competition has started between @lesley and @maleos, both competitors sizing one another up. High and low born can come and see, maybe gamble and lose a bit of coin. Voice your choice! Hear your cheer! Shout for the bout! There is a lot to be excited for here as the competition wages on. Or, perhaps, go find a bite to eat at one of the merchant stalls and catch up with a friend!
Winter Wonderland Date: Karneios, 684 BC Location: Archontioko Kotas, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: It’s a Royal Wedding Reception! Yes, things are a bit cold - maybe you are just now realising that one cloak was not enough? Perhaps you can huddle around the fire and start a bit of gossip. Commoners, this is a prime time to get your faces noticed by the upper crust - did you bring some food and wine to the event to make a bit of coin? Are you representing a guild or a temple and want to ensure your face is seen by the Royals? Perhaps, you are a militant from elsewhere in the kingdom, representing your province well by serving as a guard for the event? And of course, every noble, young and old, would never want to have the rumor spread that they did not come to the wedding - what an insult to the crown that would be! What was that? The children are still making war with snowballs, and now a high Mihail of Thanasi joins his cousin @tythra. Speaking of the Princess, she looks worried about something. Did little @essa get lost in the crowd, or is her mother suffering from the drugs that she had? @zanon looked to have been leaving early only to have @yiannis stop him. Is it just me or are things getting… heated?
Artemis’s Honor Date: Artamisios, 676 BC Location: Eubocris, Colchis Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: As @timaeus continues his investigation, with several observers including @celine and @adelpha, new evidence has been discovered - a dismembered human phallus! In her mouth! Have you ever heard of such a thing? Who would do that?? And more importantly…..who is missing something?? @damocles and @semiramis find themselves in a discussion about the motives behind it. With the entrances to the city blocked in an attempt to catch the murderer.. Is there someone that knows about such things? Is it a curse you’ve heard of? Also, do the markings on her body mean anything to you? Maybe you remember seeing a stranger in the market earlier and you could advise the Baron for them to be questioned. If you are not involved at this point, any sort of crowd can draw you in curiously.
Give Us Sanctuary Date: Apellaios, 672 Location: Vasiliadon, Taengea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: With refugees flocking towards the walled capital due to arrive any day now, the Order of Vasiliadon are enforcing a long forgotten law. They are entering the homes of nobles and confiscating their food stores, and are taking the goods of merchants that may be of use for the refugees. Already they have gone to the Condos home, and now the Leventi. Meanwhile @theodora is looking for @emilios or @xene. Hopefully she can find them soon- the capital can use a united front. Also watch out for @avra, her work got taken and she’s none to happy.
