(small typo in them, but much love!)
Aetolia, as a whole, has grown into a positive community and both sides have made it easier to stay around. I enjoy seeing prominent leaders of shadow and spirit sharing their perspectives, humour, and wisdom on the forums, in game, and, yes, even sometimes in discord (EVEN THOUGH YOU ALL SHOULD USE THE FORUMS MORE..) . There is definitely an atmosphere of 'let us help you learn you how to play' instead of 'get the unicorns out'. I hope to see this atmosphere continuously expand and while it can be exhausting, I'd like to remind those leaders and the helpers that we -do- notice and are thankful/inspired by it all.
In 3 months, I went from a skeptical player from the dead to actually achieving end game and participating in combat (I'll put participation in quotation marks for obvious reasons haha). I'd really like to thank Karhast, Benedicto, Tenshyo, and Stine for their help in the beginning of learning luminary/combat again... Also I'd like to thank Toz, Xenia, Akimoto/Gala, and Vyxsis for helping me to understand some of the code behind the systems I'm using. Thank you for putting up with my questions and requests.
Finally, I like to remind people that while there can be salt and complaining on either side, that we should not let that dampen the learning environment and instead balance it out with a 'how can we avoid or mitigate' these issues. Everyone has bad days or moods and even valid complaints, but you just have to look at these forums to see we are still people (some went through cancer, divorce, depression, death of a beloved, etc). Continue to treat each other better and we can have a game that people love returning to play.
Thanks again.

23:30:28 You have emoted: Zarni lets out a laugh, and kneels down on the ground in front of you, and after a moment of rummaging around pulls forth a sturdy noose. "Eydis Ilstrem, will you do me the privilege of marrying me? ...Also sorry, this is literally the only ring-shaped thing I own right now."
Eydis accepts lol

Apparently some people have been playing Aetolia since 1958!! How fucking awesome is that!! They were playing Aetolia before Aetolia was Aetolia!!

Lost my job today. I say lost it, I didn't lose it, I was verbally abused by the Director of the business I sub-contract to as a freelance entertainer. Fortunately I recorded the whole thing on my phone. Still it wasn't nice to hear things like;
"I can't stand you."
"Nobody likes you."
"Everybody hates you."
"You've been nothing but a detriment."
He rounded it all off by telling me to "f*** off". The exchange cost me over £10,000 in jobs that I'd had booked through that company.
As the day unfolded and I notified people that I would no longer be working for said company, I've actually recouped my losses from couples cancelling with the company and rebooking with me privately. Not a single person who knows the company or myself has supported that Directors actions and the recording I took has spread like wildfire throughout the industry whilst I received an outpouring of support and offers of help. The only person who has come out worse off is the Director himself and his company.
Karma's a bitch.
I have thrown away a trailer full of junk, and then some. Huge relief to gerrid of stuff that is piling up.
I am treating myself to new furniture, new plates, cutlery, pillows, duvets, lamps, and still opting for as minimalistic as possible. I want this place nice and clean. Always good with a fresh start.
I'll post pictures once it's all in place!
OM NOM NOM! PEW PEW LAZER EYES!
Hi.
For making an otherwise boring night of rift-mania much more interesting.
