Love is in the air! With spring just around the corner and the dredges of winter nearly out of the way, I feel like life is finally opening up. We’ve got new friends who’ve joined us on our writing journey and with new friends come new stories! Stories of love and heartache, new arch nemesis and new lifelong buds. Love and its opposite are in the air! With February being Valentines, we’ve got several challenges that we’ve done in light of that fact! Our Matchmaker challenge is well underway with some good progress being made, we’ve got a fun new member challenge happening and I LOVE all these posts! Keep it coming, guys!
New Additions Below are a list of all of our lovely new members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, show the love and say 'hi, how are you?' You can use our #general-chat or our #quiet-room - entirely depending on how busy our main channel is - but we highly recommend touching base and saying hello - they might be interested in making a character you're seeking for your own plots after all…

We've also had new characters added to our accepted roster! Remember! The first member to start a thread with each of our newly accepted characters from new members get to collect Points! Give these characters a shout out in their relevant kingdom channel to get the plotting chat going! Just remember to give their profiles a read so that you can approach their writer with some fun ideas!
News and Updates
Staff Updates So yeah, this should have been done ages ago but the staff page on the site has been updated to reflect recent staff changes of Mere and Bandit stepping away to focus on their characters. Belated thanks for all your hard work guys. We’ve also had a slight shuffle of roles to reflect this, and if you really want to, you can read about it here.
Welcome to the Family! It's been great to see so many new faces crash land on the discord server in the past couple of weeks and to see you guys being your usual lovely welcoming selves. In the nicest of ways though, please do remember that it can be a little overwhelming to be pounced on from all sides, and it also makes it tricky for the staff team to do their jobs. By all means say hello, but let's give out mentors a bit of space to do their work too and refrain from firing off wanted links etc to our new friends before they’ve even sat down. Once we’ve all said hello to the newcomer, please move all ongoing conversations that do not revolve around the newcomer to the Green Room. That’s what it’s there for. This way, the newcomer can speak and be spoken to!
Added to the above, our Mentors are chosen specifically to help newcomers. They’ve got the characters, the lore, and the plot down pat. It’s so much fun to suggest our own wanteds to our new friends, or sling characters their way that have needed a player for a long time, but that may not be the best fit for that person. Be sweet, be kind, be charming, be open to our newcomers but please don’t throw out suggestions to them. This might clash with what the Mentors are trying to do and some of us oldies have seen in the past what it looks like for someone to have an ill fitting character.
Off the back of this, just a gentle reminder to avoid ‘calling dibs’ on any character unless you have registered the account on the site. While it's endlessly fun to plot and theorise your next character, they aren’t yours until you are in a position to make them. There are time limits in place to the apping process too, you can re-familiarise yourself with them here.
New Discord House Chats So we snuck these in a couple of weeks ago now to replace the old dm groups that were used for family plotting. Please use these channels to spitball your plot ideas where you can - you never know, 2nd cousin twice-removed Damianos the younger might have some awesome ideas he can throw in too! If you are missing any of the House channels you think you should have, drop a pm to the admin account and we can add you.
Activity Check Reminder Reminder that staff no longer send out DMs for AC posts. We check on the 1st of March for post counts. If you want to remind yourself of the requirements, they can be found here. Staff will be reviewing February’s activity in two weeks and you will be contacted via DM if your character is on probation for the month of March.
As always, please contact the staff account on the site if you need help.
Holiday Challenge: Matching Hearts This is just a little update to say that everyone should be about halfway through their challenges! I will be in your DMs in the next few days if you haven’t started your challenges yet to see if you are still interested in participating. Remember, you get an exclusive shiny new award if you complete this month’s holiday challenge! You can find the link with the event write up here.
Member Challenge #1: A Letter to My Lover This is the second of our two Valentine’s member challenges! For the next two weeks, your challenge is to have your character write a love letter to another character. It can be named or your character can be anonymous, so long as it is addressed to another character and canonically makes sense. You can earn a bonus point for writing a love poem along with your letter, and the character you address the letter to can earn an extra point if they receive their letter in a thread. Knowing that this challenge gives everyone the ability to earn a lot of points, we don’t mind if you send as many letters as you want. Go nuts, kiddos. Spread the love and pad your bank accounts!
Member Challenge #2: Free Love With so many new players that have joined our board, let’s make sure to give them a proper welcome. This challenge is simple! Show some love to our newcomers and start a thread with them! A point for a thread! Don’t be shy and reach out.
The newcomers are the following characters: @daniil - Bonnie pavlos - Fire Mandisa H'Isazari - Parsby @rene - Lu @sanasa - Danniella
Keep an eye out for any other newcomers that get accepted within these next two week- they count too! And keep in mind while most of the above is located in Athenia, who knows! People travel! Happy writing!
Awards and Recognition
Member of the Moment: Fire Aeipathy can be a big place to find your way around when you first get started, but not only has Fire jumped in feet first with his first character Pavlos, he’s also invited a small army of friends to come play with us too! Congrats Fire, who is our member of the moment!
Curveball Change in the Winds Date: Apellaios, 672 BC Location: The Grand Hall Emilia of Xanthos is about to address the nobility in her first court session as Regent.
Divine Curveball Blood and Sand Date: Kawwal, 672 BC Location: Manopotapa Look out, Greeks. The Kemetic Pantheon has come out to play.
Greece
Information on GreekEvents and Provincial Stories will be in the next written broadcast in two week’s time!
Africa
Egypt
A Tekh of a Good Time Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: The Riverbank, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: M E S S Y. This event is messy! From some wasted noble girls (how is it when drunk @nenet just gets louder, but her stutter doesn’t change at all?) to a stabbing and best friend break up of @issa and @azarion, to Akhenaten H'Sheifa totally putting the mack on @calliope to @zoser and @neithotep stealing a moment with each other- Egyptians be crazy ya’ll! With people heading to the river, the celebration of Hathor is in full steam. Keep drunk and keep sexy, Egypt. You’re doing your goddess proud.
Opportunity Knocks Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: What in Ra’s name is the circus planning? They look angry. And now they have robes and masks and are talking about… Setians? Aren’t they the weird priests at the Temple of Set? Will someone speak up with @onuphrious? The Tempest of Set clearly overstayed their welcome.
Blood and Sand Date: Kawwal, 672 BC Location: Manotapa, Egypt Attendance: Militants Way In?: Eight days into the ongoing battle between @tython ‘s men and the forces of Egypt. @osorsen has caught himself a treasure, with @zosime held captive in the General’s tent. The Greeks lose one of their Commanders as @nike is seemingly killed in an ambush by Egyptian soldiers, her fellow soldier @damocles also wounded in the attack. Neither force seems to press a decisive win as of yet, and the ships sit ready and waiting for the Egyptians to sail for Taengea, as soon as they can deal with the problem of these pesky Colchians.
Judea
Promises Made Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Damascus, Judea Attendance: Nobles and Invitees Way In?: Well, @amiti and @maeri certainly had a… (fun?) time to themselves. But with the speeches being had from the family, and the return of the lovely wedded couple, the reception can finally begin. Will @abir and @talora continue to share glances between each other? Will @amiti realize they got back surprisingly quick? Only time will tell! Time to party, friends!
