Re: Mirror classes
I agree with Nisavi.
Riving - dhurivChirography - tracking ("I prepared exploding runes this morning" the skillset)Manifestation - woodlore (numerology/geometrics as critters)
It is the Indiana Jones of the Archivium and I want it so bad.
I disagree with Nisavi about what spirit is getting. I will keep that close to my chest.
This is how I now picture Saidenn. Thank you, @Rijetta.

Rijetta is notoriously hard to make in these. I'll share more when I'm home.

Re: Character Mood Boards!
Echoing that this was really difficult, I probably haven't done justice to all of the numerous sights, sounds, and thoughts that have gone into Sib over the years, yet I'm still really happy with this!

Re: Mirror classes
Where's all the crazy speculation?! Alright, I'll go first.
I think it's a distant possibility Syssin are getting a mirror now, but I'll tell you my wild, very optimistic guess anyways:
ANCESTRY
The Syssin, lorewise, are one of the oldest established Guilds around, having been founded in the Ankyrean era. Their ancestors are very important to them. It's heavily implied that Syssin either: 1) don't go to the Underhalls, staying trapped somewhere on Sapience or some other place (check the skill WARDING, as well as guild lore) OR 2) have some power to exert and project their wills beyond the Underhalls.
With this in mind, it's possible to assume that instead of an angel, a Syssin could summon an ancestor, an elder ghost of a Syssin to fight alongside of them. That's right. I'm guessing syssinLuminary. This would replace Spirituality.
COMMUNION
This would be about communing with those ancestors, paying tribute to them and continuing to uphold the traditions. This would replace Righteousness, and serve as syssinLumi's offensive set; they pay communion to their ancestors by shedding the blood of their enemies.
KINSHIP
Yeah that's right. Tiur redacted the word KIN specifically to screw with us. It's not a dead giveaway at all, he just wanted to make us paranoid. Kinship would replace Devotion. The Syssin would use their raw, magical willpower to place oaths within a room that would bestow positive effects on their allies, or negative effects on their enemies.
Okay. Yeah. It's ridiculous and unlikely. Sue me!

Re: Anonymous Discussions
Few things:
1. You can leave the session at any time. If something makes you uncomfortable, just leave. If something that breaks Aetolia's rules makes you uncomfortable, leave and issue. The results of issues are an entirely different matter that I'm not willing (or even equipped) to discuss, but that sounds like a problem you have with the game rather than this specific feature.
2. I actually didn't want to add it initially, but there's a no-doubt mechanical prove-it feature to reveal your identity. This means that you are able to completely verify if your partner is a particular someone. If your partner doesn't use it, you can disregard any claims about identity. It was added explicitly to allow players to be able to demand proof of any claims.
3. Sessions are not invisible to the Pools and are recorded. People breaking the rules will be appropriately punished, whether that's in the form of IC or OOC action depending on the rule(s) broken. Somebody deliberately using this to target/sully another player counts as rulebreaking. The rules state very clearly you cannot even indirectly impersonate someone.
4. On the topic of slandering, this is honestly one of the most ineffective methods you could possibly choose if that was your goal. You don't know who you're speaking to, you can easily get called out, and it's clear it's against the rules with admin being able to very easily see if you are breaking these rules.

Re: Anonymous Discussions
I think this is kinda just becoming back and forth. At the moment, we'll let the mystery dates continue, hoping for the best. Issue if a problem comes of it, and we'll deal with it then. While I do like to head off problems before they happen, I try not to kill new features entirely because they could be abused. Were that the case, we would have no emotes or says.
