November Midmonth

[moustre]

Midmonth Mod Post: November Hello, Aefenglom! Here's your monthly midmonth mod post. First, as always, some reminders. They're pretty brief this month: • The Masquerade log is still going strong! This is the second year KJ has run this event and we always love to see it, so a huge thanks to them. • We have a combo Intro Log & Item Regain Event just recently gone live! • Acceptances have been sent out to as many applications as we have space for currently! • Our activity check also begins on November 24th! While we'll have the requirements on the activity check itself as a reminder, here they are right now so you can start figuring things out: PROOF 1: * A tag-out to someone else's post, top level, or inbox. PROOF 2: * Your own post, top level, or a thread in your own inbox, OR * A tag-out to someone else's post, top level, or inbox. - Comments from you on both proofs should add up to at least 10. - Comments must be from the current month to count. - One proof may be from a thread begun in the month previous, but only comments from the current month on it count toward your AC. - Both proofs cannot be with the same character. - Two proofs with cast/franchise-mates is allowed but if it becomes a pattern (2+ months in a row), you will be asked to provide a thread with a non-castmate. In addition, players are allowed to take a strike if they have at least half of the necessary activity, ie. one proof with a minimum of 5 comments or two proofs that add up to less than 10 comments. • Players accepted in November only need to provide half AC. • The calendar has all these dates as always, so check it out! Now then - onwards! The Aefenglom Journal With all the nastiness of Octeuril behind us, things in Aefenglom seem to have settled down, or so we all hope. Our Parliamentary correspondent has brought news that the Mirrorbound Council have passed a motion to allocate funding for orphan education and care, proving once again that these mysterious people from other worlds are certainly philanthropists wherever they go! Truly we here at the Aefenglom Journal find it touching how they fight to look out for the most helpless in our fair city. Mirrorbound have also proven to be trend-setters. We have an exclusive that one long-time Mirrorbound has put on a grand Masquerade Ball for the second year in a row! The glitz and glamor of it all has enraptured Aefenglom, and no doubt many in the Aristocratic District are disappointed not to have received invitations. Maybe there's always next year! Lastly, our associate at the Coven tells us a few more Mirrorbound have stumbled through mirrors at the Looking Glass House, in the middle of the month again. Could there be something to this strange timing, or is it all just an odd change of pace for the misunderstood magic deep at the heart of the ancient building? In unrelated news, many strange brass saucers have been spotted flying all over the city, often knocking into folks minding their own business! Some are seen carrying the most random of objects - what in the world could these be? The Aefenglom Journal intends to find out! OOC Updates • First of all this month, we'd like to announce that, with real life situations and holiday business going on, December's AC will be check-in only. However, if you have to take a strike in November, you will need to provide half AC in December to clear your strike. We will not offer strikes in December for missing AC, and anyone who doesn't check in or make prior arrangements with the mods will be swept. • This has happened fairly often in the last month or two, so we would like to remind players what the appropriate methods of mod communication are: either a PM to the mod journal, or a comment on the Mod Contact post. Please don't contact us individually on our personal accounts about mod business - we prefer to keep records of communication where the entire mod team can access them. We're always happy to help with whatever players bring to us, but we will not act in an official manner from our personal accounts. • We'd like to ask again for event and plot feedback! November and December are generally easy-going months due to folks being busy or needing to recharge, but we'd like to hear what kinds of events and plots you would like to see in the future. Feedback We're here again to offer everyone the chance to give some feedback, if there's anything that you've noticed or would like to possibly seem implemented! Talking Points: • Info posts that you'd like clarification for. • Quests. In general, what kind of quests would you like to see more of? How can we improve with these? What's working, and what isn't? • Plot investigation feedback. We've gotten quite a few good investigations, and honestly it's been fantastic seeing what everyone does with their information. • Events. What type of ones would you like to see, what ones are working, what aren't? • General feelings on: the game, the timing of posts, how events and such are set up, etc. • And more! Tell us what's on your mind. We honestly appreciate all kinds of comments, and we want to make Aefenglom a wonderful, fun, and comfortable game for everyone who joins. This post will remain unscreened, so if you'd like to take something to a more private venue, you can either PM us or comment here.

Hi. +1 I mentioned it somewhere but think either plot investigation needs to not be screened or some kind of progress bar on them so that people know what's going on.

I've shared parts of what I've found on, but been waiting to share all once I had it. But like I mentioned in my original comment...

Worth mentioning too that Dragon's tree quests earlier this year were also connected to this as well. But I can't find anywhere other than event posts where Ceria shows up, which makes it hard to get too for people who weren't there when the posts went up
