The Weekly Broadcast
Monday 14th June 2021
'I spent the next 24 hours binging cartoons to cleanse the filthy.' - LuHey everyone! Welcome to our second Weekly Broadcast since our grand reopening! This is just a quick shout out to say, I am loving the way our community is coming together in terms of activity. No-one seems to be feeling left behind and no-one appears to be frustrated at not being able to post enough. It's lovely to see so many members of the community repeating that real life comes first and that we're here and ready to write and enjoy the experience of writing whenever we get it.
Congratulations also to those who are coming out of busy family time or school for the summer and are picking up the posts that have been otherwise left to the side for a little bit. Part of our community ethos is to be sensitive of real life commitments but this is made a thousand times easier when our friends and fellow writers pick up the baton so quickly after finishing their school year or finding fresh time after real life responsibilities have cooled - thank you to all members who have helped to make Aeipathy's second kick off so much fun!
New AdditionsBelow are a list of all of our newest members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, give them a shout out 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... If there were no new members to join us this week, we'll list our three latest joiners.
News and UpdatesNew Challenge! Signed, Sealed, DeliveredSuper simple this week ladies and gents of the Grecian isles - send a letter! Easy right? We have a letters and missives board here on Aeipathy and part of the realism fun of these is that each letter is its own thread. Replies are also in their own threads. This way, interruptions can occur. We can step in to have letters lost in transit or left unopened or thrown into the hearth flames before they are read if the recipient is particularly mad. So, if you're interested in claiming the member points this week, pop a letter in the Letters and Missives board (the thread name should be the address... 'Missive for King Tython of Kotas...' for example) and then post the link to that letter in the #member-challenge channel on the Discord server! Nice and easy! Just the one chance at the points this time - extra letters don't gain extra points, but a reply can definitely count as one! All letters should be written in first person and written like the character. How's your character's spelling? Do they write eloquently or stilted? Are they even literate or has the letter been paid for with a scribe? Have fun getting creative!
OTM Award Polls are Up!Be a part of awarding those around you by voting in our OTM Polls! Not only do you gain points from having nominated a full roster of options, you also get points for voting in all of the polls! Have fun looking into the threads and deciding who you think is most deserving of this month's crowns!

We're one week in! How is everyone doing on their entries! Remember, there's absolutely nothing to lose from submitting something for any category you like! It's not like we broadcast and sneer at those who don't snag the medals! ^_^ It's all happy days here - we just want to encourage your creativity and confidence. Let's see those entries! <3
Athenia Event Poll is Up!If you haven't seen it already, our latest #our-aeipathy poll is up and ready to go! You can take part in deciding what our first Event will be in the fair kingdom of Athenia! We look forward to seeing your choice!
New Canon Available: Agathe of MarikasAgathe: Bold, defiant and not above using Court gossip to her advantage, Agathe is one of the most popular young women in the Athenian Court - every young lady wants to befriend her and every young man wants to join her for a night. Fully aware of her power and influence, Agathe has learned at her father's side that being a female is a detriment to personal success unless you utilize your gender's wiles.
New Wanted Available: Kallista of DolomesaKallista: Leaving home on a search for understanding and acceptance - neither of which she knew the location of - it was per chance that Kallista was found on the road by a priestess of the Cypress Sisterhood. Gygaea was beautiful, strong and able to command a respect and authority despite being unmarried, without children and in no way performing the domestic roles that Kallista had been raised to expect of a woman's place and duty. She was immediately desirous of such power that was held beyond that of a male's determination. Years later and Kallista's exceptional work ethic and devotion to her new home as need her to eventually become the High Priestess of the temple sisterhood, devoted to the arts and messages of Artemis. Despite her youth, Kallista was supported in the taking of her new role by several highly respected priestesses, meaning that she has now successfully held the leading position within the Cypress Sisterhood for three years.
Activity Rules ConfirmedWith our new reboot comes a double check over our activity rules. Please make sure that you've had the time to look over them. You can find all the information you need in the
brand new page of our Encyclopaedia.
Colour In PostsPlease check out this
recent announcement regarding the use of coloured text in IC posts, everyone! <3 We hope it clears up some confusion on the matter.
Awards and RecognitionRoleplaying can be fun, engaging and at times when the muse runs high as easy as breathing. And yet, it can also be a challenge. We aren't always confronted with the chance to play the character we want to or a type of character that we've had experience playing in the past. Sometimes we have to take a leap of faith and have courage in ourself and our skills. Makki has worked hard to build on this, taking on a character of global plot significance despite her fears. And, just to prove that her faith was justifies,
Persephone of Xanthos is steadily getting involved in threads all over Greece! Well done for being brave and taking a leap of faith with us, Makki! Your writing can only continue to grow from here! <3
Awards AchievedIn order to shout and show off the successes of our members, we will list all awards achieved recently here in our broadcast. For now, our Awards system is gradually getting underway and accounts are being updated. If you have old character awards that you would like to claim for your character please send them to
The Staff Team so that they can be registered on our database!
Story ProgressionEvents and Provincial StoriesOur Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Staff Team. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
A Decade of PeaceLocation: Illytia > Colchis > Greece
Attendance: All Welcome!
The King of Colchis has called for attention! The three monarchs of Greece stand before you ready to make a momentary speech to mark the occasion! As the sun begins to set, they also have a surprise for the people of their kingdoms (be they near or far) so if you want to get in on the fun, all you have to do is post your character stopping whatever they are doing to listen to the rulers. Social activity will begin again after they've announced the feast and the surprise! Come join in the fun!
Girls Gone WildLocation: Vasiliadon > Taengea > Greece
Attendance: All Welcome!
Women are letting their hair (and their chitons) down! The princess of Taengea @gianna has shown up in an entirely appropriate but scandalous outfit, there's a nobleman from Colchis who appears to be dressed as a woman (
Mihail of Thanasi is that you?) and
Aea of Molossia just challenged the crown prince of the northern lands to a fight! What an earth is going on? This event is lunacy! Come one, come all and take part in the madness! React, stumble across or observe the craziness happening around you and I'm sure characters will happily drag you into their mess!
New EventsNo new events this week but, next week, look out for our very first event in Athenia! You can vote for the event your most interested in on our Discord server, on the #our-aeipathy channel! Jump in and let us know what you'd like to see in this section next week!
