*waves guiltily from the shadows*. Hey everyone! Yes, I'm here. Yes, I'm alive. And apologise for going silent on you all for the last week or so. I'd love to be able to say I have a good reason. I honestly don't. In the sense of, no I didn't drop off the face of the earth or get teleported through a vortex. In short, some of you made know already, some of you may not... I have an emotional disorder and am currently struggling with depression and anxiety issues. I've been working through without medication for the last eight months or so and the last few weeks I have had a bit of a downward spiral. I went to a very dark place and am now back on medication. I don't want to bump you all out on the subject and please be aware that I am not at all asking for sympathy or for you to treat me any different. I'm still JD, I'm still all good. I just felt that you all deserved a truthful answer to why I disappeared there for a mo. So, there it is. Honestly I only really started to get my crap together a few days ago and I only opened up my laptop this morning (yes, everything I'm posting on the site and discord right now, I have done today - I promise I haven't been stock piling these and holding out on you guys, I legit woke up this morning and haven't stopped working since because I didn't want to let you guys down on another broadcast plus all the other stuff that comes with it)...
I would also like to take this moment to shout out to our Staff Team! Those of you who suffer with it know that sometimes mental health isn't just a sufferage but a royal bitch and refuses to let you admit you're having issues which ultimately means you don't actually give anyone a heads up when you head down the dark path. I am not too proud to admit that I was a total dick and left the staff team to fend for themselves the last few weeks and work out what to do in my apparent absence/disappearance. They have rallied just frickin' troopers and I would like to offer them my mega thanks and gratitude for loving Aeipathy enough and trusting me enough to keep things going whilst I dealt with my shit. ^_^
But anyway! On to brighter things and greener pastures! I was gonna release the Olympics winners today but given that I'm probably throwing a lot at you atm with posts and updates and such, I think I'll save them for tomorrow (always fun to build the suspense, mwahahaha) and I will be online properly again tomorrow (you have my undying word) so that I can chat with you all, have some fun and get that announcement out when people are around and gonna enjoy it. Instead, I have a brand new requested provincial story for you below, plus a whole bunch of Story Progression Curveballs hitting your way to get the fire going beneath our new Events. I've also got a hella lot of posts flying left, right and centre to help try and move things along a little and get some momentum under some of our larger plotlines! Whoop whoop! Also!
We have an exciting new feature announced below! Keep reading to find out more!
New Additions
Below 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...
Tacticsofonmyoji
Cherry
Flourish
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
New Member Challenge - 29/07/2019 I've Got A Blank Space, Baby (Deadline 05/08/19)
Your challenge should you choose to accept it this week is to select a board on our server that has not had a thread created within it yet - and create a thread in it! Those who are writing in our African kingdoms Bedoa, Egypt and Judea will have this a little easier than our Greek writers, but remember to look out for brand new sub-boards all over the Greek locations! There are definitely places in every kingdom that have yet to have a thread posted in them! Once you've claimed your "blank space" for your own, just claim your point in the #member-challenge channel on our Discord server!
OTM Polls - 29/07/19
Polls have been launched for our OTM Awards! Remember, this month it was Member's Choice and our staffers were not allowed to choose any nominations, nor are they allowed to vote! For June, we are putting the power into *your* hands! So make sure to hop on over there and vote for your favourites!
Just a quick heads up to let you all know that winners for the Aeipathy Olympics will be announced tomorrow! I've finalised and collected all the entries and will be tallying up winners in time for an announcement tomorrow! Check back here in the News and Updates board for the winners when you get the chance! Good luck to all who entered!
New Feature: The Big Red Button
Okay so here's how it works! Whenever the site is at a point where we can start working in some more/bigger/complex global plotlines, I'll be announcing that the Big Red Button is up and raring to go! If you're a member of Aeipathy who has a character whom you would like to do more with, who you are willing to dedicate the time and effort to and who you want to be more involved in plots and stories, then you just have them hit the Big Red Button! The Button will be open for a week. At the end of that week (the Button will be closed in the next Weekly Broadcast) I'll be collating who hit the button, who is eager for more story/plot and who I can then work in to larger-scale stories as the new chapters of our global plot come around. This is basically just a more member driven way of handling what we already do here at Aeipathy - build out global plots around the characters we already have. But given that we have so many members now, and how some of them like to keep a slower pace while others are hankering for more, I need you guys to help guide me! This new tool is going to give you all that opportunity. So, think of this week as our first trial run of the Big Red Button!
Hit the Button If:
-- You are dedicated to your character becoming a pillar that supports a global plot.
-- You are able to post at least one post for that character specifically each week.
-- You are open to curveballs that could mess with your character, their family or their goals.
Rules for Hitting the Button
-- Each member can only hit the Button once for one of their characters. Choose which character you would like to become more involved in global plots at this stage. Please note, you can always hit the button with the other character the next time it comes up, regardless of whether you are already involved in global stories or not.
-- If you are already involved in big global plots you are welcome to hit the Button again anyway! Please be aware, however, that those who are not involved in global stories just yet will be given priority of roles.
-- Please be aware that global plots can take months to play out in their entirety. Please do not hit the Big Red Button unless you can see yourself, as a member, sticking with Aeipathy for the long haul.
-- 'Hit the Button' By sending a PM to The Staff Team with a gif of someone hitting a button (like the one above!) and our staff team will know exactly what you mean!
Member of the Moment: Agusto I might not have been around all that much the last few weeks but when I have been a few names have routinely popped up as continuing to chat, be lovely, welcome newcomers and generally just being an awesome person who wants to share the fun with any and all. Agusto is one of those names who I was routinely seeing in my notifications. On top of dealing with some personal stuff the last few weeks, Agusto has continued to be friendly and encouraging on the server. So, this week, we would like to make it very clear that you don't always have to be the top of your game and posting like crazy to be an epic roleplayer with us here at Aeipathy. You can just be an epic person and be wonderful to hang out with... Congrats Agusto!
Story Progression
Curveballs
We have a ton of story progression hitting your roleplay-tags channel momentarily so make sure to head on over to that channel and check them out you guys! If you miss them at all, no worries - the Weekly Event Update will be going out tomorrow as planned so you'll get a full run down then as well!
Events and Provincial Stories
Our 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.
One Good Turn Provincial Story - Colchis
Each kingdom of Greece is known for its specific and specialised skills of culture and learning. Athenia is at the height of academia. Taengea are skilled social creatures. And Colchis... Colchis know how to fight. And with the union between the three kingdoms still new at this time, the Taengean lords have decided to enact an activity that shows solidarity between the men of the next generation and sent several of their young princes and barons to receive military training from the Colchian experts of combat...Read More...
