Aaaaaaaaaaall righty then!

The calendar for Ymiden 720 is up.
Questions will be answered as quickly as I may.

Again, there is a good deal of leeway in the rate at which the developments of Sintra's presence progress.
I make my usual excuses...

[Lavana Tharn]

If anyone wants to collaborate and thread send me a pm.

Could I also get the Etzori Discord?

[Maltruism]

Hey folks,

I have the Saun calendar up.....finally...
Yes, you DO have to scroll past Ymiden to get to it...

Those of you who ARE Pro-Sintra will be getting the indicated headaches. There is a reason for it.
Those of you who are NOT, will be getting covert suggestion by the Anti-Sintra resistance to pretend that you do.
Ulric, you will probably not get any headache though, and for the same reason.

Don't feel like you HAVE to include this though.
There are enough NPC folks in town to make it likely that no one would notice if you do or not.

If you want to do a thread that encounters a work crew in the Underground, let me know.
I may or may not mod or drop a bomb depending on whether your actions give me cause to play their parts.

This certainly includes you Lavan...errr....Klaudia. You could definitely be on a guard crew sent in if you want.

Well,

I have wiped clean last cycle's PC roster list.
Hope lots of folks will try to get in on this cycle's BIG EVENT.

I should think you know by now what that is likely to be.
There is still time to give your PC some personal stake in the event, through a set-up thread or two, and be more than just a face in the erupting crowd.
But there is plenty to be said for playing someone who learns wtf as they go.

There are a few who have big parts to play.

For those who need a modded lead-in to get in on a set-up thread, you have options:

• 1.) Stumbling upon folks putting something in the water reservoir under the city, and learning whether they are doing it with evil intent or to thwart others' evil intent.
• 2.) Seeing odd lights out in the Farmlands and going to investigate. Coming into contact with those who are confirming the part it plays in the evil plot, as well as encountering those who will NOT want you bringing this info back to the city.
• 3.) Having encounters with Web Guards (ghosts who have had life energy restored to them) that either have a fierce loyalty to Sintra, who restored them, or HAD a fierce loyalty that they are now questioning, due to odd developments in their memories and impulses, which suggests a second personality within their minds. There is a reason for this that some of them find horrifying and brings crushing guilt to their hearts. Those of a more callous nature don't care and probably don't have this "problem". They are still loyal to Sintra and consider the others - and any associating with them - to be traitors, worthy of death.
• 4.) Collaborating with Oberan, Ulric, Llyr, Lavana (Klaudia Khastel), Kasoria or Woe, who have varying degrees of awareness as to what is going on.

That last option may not need modding.

All these things will hopefully all converge on the date of the Big Event. I will decide on the date as we go.
My regrettable error in omitting Llyr from the list of those PCs with considerable knowledge of what is happening in Etzos has been corrected.

[Maltruism]

Late as usual...lol

I have put up a Vhalar 720 calendar.

Mostly I just wanted to say that.
But I will also say that things are coming to a head, and efforts to hide the tension are failing, though no one on either side will openly state what is going on, or what they think is going on. All you PCs that I mention in my last post here can assume there is some hostile focus on you by Sintra and her minions.

The rest of you may feel free to include questions about those names as part of any dialog where Web Guards are brutally mixing it up with folks.
But if you don't have actual IC knowledge, supported by a thread, no one knows anything.

Questions about Woe might not be of a hostile nature. We will see if this changes as the season goes on.

[Navyri]

I am terrified by this dark thing
That sleeps in me;

Hello, loves!

Popping in here to see if there is an Etzos discord link someone could send me or add me to. Discord name: Memento#3994

I'm seeing lots of Sintra stuff happening this season and that's really interesting. I'll be reading over the calendar a bit more intensively, but this seems different than what I've grown accustomed to.

Color me fascinated.

All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.

[Maltruism]

I find myself suddenly in control of the Etzos discord channel.

As Etzos' mod, I imagine the bulk of you see this as entirely as it should be. But this is totally new to me. I was not the original owner.

I am an old fart and am not competent in such things, which does not mean I CAN'T figure them out, but rather that it takes me a good deal of trial-and-error.

Coupled with that is the fact that having NOT created any of the channels that are suddenly gone, I draw a significant blank on what needs to be recreated.

So let me know if there's a channel that needs resurrecting or reanimating.

[Maltruism]

Let me draw your attention to a new bit of news regarding upcoming release(s) of Dragons.
It is of course, also in the overall "News and New Features" forum.
But in case you come here first, it is fully worth noting.

My God, I almost put "nothing" instead of "noting". Sort of changes the entire dynamic of the announcement.

viewtopic.php?f=469&t=13364&p=162456#p162456

OOoooooh...word count "69"...tee hee...huh?....oh crap, I ruined it.

[Maltruism]

Okay,

The new roster is up for the Rebirth cycle.
Sorry it is so late getting started.

The calendar is another matter.
There is a "spoiler" capacity to it at present.
But I will try to get that taken care of and get that event underway soon.
In future Rebirth cycles, will the anniversary of this event bring celebration? ......or mourning....

[Oberan]

If I know my history, it'll be celebration either way
