of Corruption and awaits a response.
AGREE if you wish to join the order.
Chakrasul grants you entrance into Her Order. Congratulations!
(Chosen): Chakrasul says, "Welcome, My Scholar, home."
This has been one of my major goals since coming to Aetolia, and having it be done by Chakrasul Herself was probably one of the most surprising and happiest moments for me thus far.
Playing Achaea for over ten years, I never thought I would pick up another IRE game when I retired from the game. I was done with the drama, headache and baggage that came with playing Achaea for so long. So imagine my lack of optimism when a close friend just suggested I pick up the game for the roleplay at the very least. "Give it an honest shot!"
Well, over one hundred and fifty RL days later here I am, still playing, and enjoying things far more than I ever thought I would. I really wanted to shout out some people in Ahly's life that really brought her to life.
@Chakrasul being the obvious One to start off with. Ahly was actually to follow her mother's footsteps and join Tanixalthas, since she saw little reason for someone of her personality to join or even attempt embracing Corruption. Things (obviously) changed and all the interactions meant a great deal, especially when my interest was wavering due to IRL and IC situations. Don't tell any of the Achaean Gods, but You have been One of the most interesting Gods I've had the pleasures of interacting with!
@Arbre Gone but not forgotten.
@Mjoll You're definitely the biker aunt who has lots of tattoos, piercings, and knocks on my parent's doors unexpectedly to bring your favourite niece a gift and then probably let me have my first cigarette five years too early.
@Elene Grandmother! If MJ is the biker aunt, you are the witch in the woods that is totally related to my family's bloodline but no one talks about you anymore because you are too creepy. But then Elene shows up to the family reunion uninvited and takes Ahly Mother Gothel style and quite literally Corrupts her! Our RP has been limited but every small interaction was another step for Ahly to start her descent. She will probably never admit it, but she looks forwards to when Elene wakes up or seeks her out specifically. Just not for the whale. Hard pass.
@Qelres It's interesting how we met! I was still a bit dependent on Arbre for the first year of Ahly's life, but Qelres was there time and time again. It gave me someone new to roleplay with and figure out how to contrast respectfully with someone who held optimism. Then something(!) happened and now they're almost like worst enemies! It's like the cool action animes where they totally insult the other one but aren't full out attacking one another at every moment, but you're waiting for the inevitable breaking point and something to go down. I dunno, I look forward to the interactions and who can almost 'one up' the other one without seeming blatantly rude.
@Bulrok You do not play too much anymore for reasons out of your control, but you were also such a presence in my initial settling of the game. I couldn't really do much without you and all your assistance in getting me set up. Combat advice, combat guidance, and just being a great cheerleader for all my PK attempts.
@Akaryuterra Helped me and Ahly understand Archivist lore, especially with Ahly being an initial presence for the Archivists during the super dead phase of the guild and everyone kept talking to me about the Cabalists. Your writing is amazing, and there was no one in Achaea who ever played a split personally ((that I met) wasn't some newbie being super loud and snowflake-y about it). Situations have split Ahly and Akar/Ryo apart, but you were a big influence on helping Ahly be able to speak comfortably on the Spheres. Also play that guitar again.
@Azami ABANDONED. My combat mentor and someone Ahly respected a great deal. You were the first one to speak of corruption and that despite Ahly's general boredom with the world and distaste of emotions, that corruption was a piece of everyone. Your sheer skill in PK, the way you spoke of Corruption and RP'd Avarice was always interesting at the very least. I know inevitably you will end up back in Shadow tether at some point. But I miss 'Zami now dangit!
@Swara Swara has been one of the few people to have Ahly's mental barrier break down for them. The recent RP has been incredibly fun to RP out as someone who could probably fit right in with the Borg and I totally love the raccoon form. The experimentation and exploring a new side of Ahly has helped me develop her and consider what she does out of the library now that she has someone dragging her around to hunt, quest, and get some fame lines!
@Naos We have not interacted much, but I wanted to give you a special place for the interactions Ahly and Naos have. I thought Qelres would be her opposite, but I think Ahly has formally decided that Naos takes that place now. Since they are both in the same Order it will be great to interact a lot more and just have that generally awkward energy to work with and roleplay with!
@Tiur / @Keroc (buffarchivistnerftorcokthanks) / @The Pools I try to throw my esteem up there when I can. You guys do a lot of thankless work, but I try to ensure that you do get thanked even if I do not personally get to see what is being done. Thank you all for volunteering your time and energy physically and mentally to deal with us needy players. I cannot thank you all enough that the transition from Achaea to Aetolia has been near seamless. I'm loving my time here and always look forward to logging in, which honestly always feels weird because I never thought I would capture that feeling from an IRE game again.
I could keep going but I feel this really captured my last almost 4 IG years effectively. Cheers to everyone I've interacted with and hopefully I have not missed anyone too important!
Thanks to everyone else for being part of the game and making Aetolia a great game to transition to!
I LOVEEE my (3) pink unicorns and I took my FAMILY of 38 DUR NAYA to ALEXINA'S ISLAND not once, not twice, but THIRTEEN TIMES this past week ALONE!!!! I also literally cured myself of EIGHT different kinds of VOYRIA. THIS COULD BE YOU!!!!! BUY A STARTER KIT AT NO COST TO YOU EXCEPT 500 CREDITS!!!
Also, cheers @Oonagh already creating an ad for my new boss babe venture.
OH MY GOD....I just burst into laughter in my office and my staff all just turned and looked at me.
People at this pub are looking at me in all the strange ways right now, and I swear I'm not drunk enough for that!
Kjell need a bulk order of soap to get juice stains out of things. Does Aetolia have OxiClean?
I am very excited that some people are interested in my baking contest and I hope the blind recipe will be very fun to interact over!

Probably listening to this.
I think I may actually like it more then Sect in terms of competitive competition, so I intend on trying to host them somewhat more regularly. Not to say I think Sect is a bad thing, but it certainly has its faults. Great for practice and learning though.
So basically I've been loving the Duel. Hope you guys have enjoyed it too!
You have slain Menelaus.

Srsly, everyone involved did well enough for your typical Survivor game, well done, but you three at the bottom...take your bow.
Hi.
Thank you for the fun.
It was a creative curse instead of an enemy status for fowl murder, though I wouldn't have been upset with such an enemy status -- I would've given Enorian a look for it, but that's about all.
While my character was a frothing ball of angry batduck noises, know that I was laughing the entire time behind the screen while at work. Thank you.
@Nisavi - please....
Me right now.

Absolute love for @Galilei too. Been there through some rough times and has helped him stay mindful of things.
@Ayuna @Iosyne Have been massive supporters in most everything he does (Specifically in the rules of Spidermom having an impact on all his choices, and the occasional little bits of RP), even when Ayu casually tells him to be himself then swats him on the nose with a newspaper and tells him to behave in the same breath.
All the staff up at the Savvy Serpent of course. So what, @Savas and @Ephi I think. @Saidenn too. He's there often enough.
I'm sure I missed a few people but I'm at work and typing fast.
Edit:
Yep, forgot one. @Martinaux has to get the love. Without her initial influences and how everything went between the two of them, Ardent wouldn't be who he is today.
