Okay technically the full quote here would not include the 'b' but have a space instead and goes on to talk about wisdom teeth. But this typo was just too funny not to use in the title this week <3 Sorry Alex ly!
Okay! We've had a few changes this week! The site has been updated from the monthly sweep, we have new characters joining us, new members coming in. We have Events and plots starting to now move forward and members getting their teeth stuck into bigger and better global plots! We've also had a bunch of new updates to our social tasks and our staff team are becoming a well-oiled machine as I let go of some of the duties and tasks I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to do by my lonesome. More and more is happening out on the Aeipathy server just as more people are finding their lives gradually getting closer to normal!
I would like to take a moment to mention that we're all aware that September is a shitty month for activity because everyone is going back to school or being effected by the changes in local demographics with uni students and kiddies going back into education for the new year! We know that September is a horrible month so please do not feel bad about a slowness in posts. What I would like to ask though is that Events become the top of everyone's lists to try and keep things moving smoothly and that we all work hard to dedicate just a little time each week to get something out. I know what it's like to look at a bit To Do list and think - omg I'm never gonna be able to do all that - or - I'll wait until Sunday when I have four hours spare and then I'll just do all of it. Inevitably, we get caught up, we run out of time and the big splurge doesn't happen. I urge everyone to take their thread trackers a thread at a time. If you can get a post out once a day, once a week... It would be a huge help to keeping things running smoothly, rather than big splurges happening or not happening here and there. I'm a terrible one for binge posting in this manner so I will be working hard to do the same! Let's work together to keep Aeipathy moving steadily rather than jump starting here, there and everywhere! Hope you all have an amazing week and I look forward to talking with you all in next week's very first VC Broadcast! Remember to post your queries and questions in the #vc-broadcast channel so that we have lots to talk about! Have fun y'all!
New Additions Below are a list of all of our newest members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, give them a shout out and say 'hi, how are you?' You can use our #general-chat or our #quiet-room - entirely depending on how busy our main channel is - but we highly recommend touching base and saying hello - they might be interested in making a character you're seeking for your own plots after all...

We've also had new characters added to our accepted roster! Remember! The first member to start a thread with each of our newly accepted characters from new members get to collect Points!

Just remember to give their profiles a read so that you can approach their writer with some fun ideas!
News and Updates
New Challenge: Broken Toys The challenge this week is very simply guys! Your character just has to break something. Simple right? The only catch is, the breakage of whatever this thing is needs to be an issue. You can't just break something in the corner of a servant's store room where no-one can see and it's nbd. We wanna see drama! So break a vat of something that spills all over a stranger, smash something that is precious to the family name. Damage a wall or tapestry in a fit of rage and have your wife yell at you. Whatever it is, the breaking of this 'thing' needs to create a big ass drama. Once this has been achieved, just post your thread in the #member-challenge channel to claim your point! You'll get a point per character who achieves this and remember - you have two weeks to get this member challenge done now that the broadcasts have been shifted about!
OTM Awards: July Voting Closed! Winners Announced! Congratulations to all of our winners for July's OTM Awards! A huge shout out to those who have helped to shine a light on those who worked hard in the month of July! Here are your winners - congratulations everyone! Character of the Month - @theodora Romance of the Month - @theodora and @emilios Dynamic of the Month - @emilios and @sara Thread of the Month - Winter Wonderland Moment of the Month - The Fires of Faith House of the Month - Dynasteia Drakos AU Ship of the Month - @lukos , @zosime and a Chair
OTM Awards: August Noms Open! As well as a closure of our July awards, we have the opening of Noms for August! If you know of someone who has worked particularly hard this month on the site or whose stories you have been following allow with an aching need then pop your nominations to our staff team!
Pinterest Challenge: Storyboard We've a new Pinterest Challenge in the works! Rather than reiterate, here is the challenge in our Pinterest Moderator's own words: Hey, everyone! It is that time of month, and that means its Pinterest Challenge time! This was a challenge that you had to sign up for because you would be paired off into twos to participate. If you haven't signed up and want to participate after reading about the challenge, fear not! It is not too late but you may have to wait for someone else to sign up if we don't have a partner for you. That being said, here we go. This month's challenge is an Alternate Universe challenge! The purpose of the challenge is to create an AU story between you and your partner's characters. You may use any of your characters; they don't need to know one another on the site to create an AU board. That is the fun of it, right? Two characters that would likely never meet on site could meet in any reality you choose. Your AU story must contain at least 50 pins and pairs should attempt to make it flow like a story. You can use words and phrases on your pins, gifs, still images, even videos. Anything that tells your story to your audience is perfect. You can choose any story you like, so work with your partner to come up with something. It cannot just be a general "lets throw these characters together into a board". It must show some cohesiveness in its construction so that we might be able to glean a story from your pins. Each member will gain 10 points for finishing the minimum of 50 pins instead of the standard 3 or 5 like normal. Each pair has been given their own section within this month's AU board so they are all set and ready to start on once you have accepted the invite below. Again, if you would still like to participate and/or need some help becoming a collaborator on our Pinterest page, feel free to drop me a DM! If you are looking to partake in the game still, then message Urit! We may be able to work out an extension of the deadline so that more people can play! Congrats to all those who completed the challenge and already have their member points!
Announcement: Community Updates We've had some updates to the way the server and our community are run! Our staff team are getting stuck in on keeping new updates rolling and our games in play, so check out the new features in this announcement.
Update: Future Realm Expansions For those who don't already know, we at Aeipathy like to keep expanding our world as we continue to grow! We have a set of statistics that we aim to hit before we open up a new Realm and our newest update on where we are at with meeting this targets came out today! Check it out and see if there are gaps that you might be able to fill!
Awards and Recognition
Member of the Moment: Cherry Sometimes the quiet ones are not noticed as easily on the server! But what you may not know is that the lovely Cherry has been participating left right and centre! Always chirping up in the plotting DMs, voting on all the OTMs and partaking in well-being challenges - not to mention the recent Pinterest Challenge, Cherry is getting stuck in! And we love it! Let's keep it up and make like Cherry! Congrats you're our first two-week Member of the Moment as our next written broadcast will be in two weeks time. Enjoy the hat!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Greece
Information on Greek Events and Provincial Stories will be in the next written broadcast in two weeks time!
Bedoa
Heated Flesh Date: Awwal, 672 BC Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans. Any and all travellers. This takes place at a port, so if your character happens to be journeying around Bedoa at this point in time, you can be a part of the fun too! Way In?: In this event, the Gesins of Bedoa are struggling with a feverish disease. Perhaps your character has started to feel ill and is rushing to a healer tent, even if it's for one with their own Gesin? Perhaps your character has found a fallen victim, passed out with his illness, trying to do the same and your character can help them get the rest of the way? Perhaps your character knows of a plant rumoured to help with fever and delirium. Perhaps they heard someone whispering at the docks about poisoned water holes? Is this just an accident or pandemic? Or is there more to be investigated here? Perhaps your character is devout, is seeing this illness as a curse from the ancestors or the Gods. Perhaps they call a group prayer and tribute or sacrifice to try and lift the curse?
Crime and Punishment Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Eastern Dunes, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans and Egyptians. This event is on the border of Bedoa and Egypt, near Qalha, so just about anyone in those two kingdoms can join in! Way In?: Bedoan boys are being punished by Egyptian officials. And Africa is a highly xenophobic realm. This opens up tonnes of opportunity for drama! Are you a Bedoan thinking that justice upon your own should be handled internally? Are you an Egyptian yelling for punishment? Are you a religious being seeking guidance from the ancestors? Is your character a friend to one of the NPCs being punished? Or an executioner that knows something about their innocence that he should not? Are these boys even guilty? Or are they guilty of more than they were caught for? Does the crime meet the punishment or is it too harsh? What will happen with the boy's hands if the punishment is meted out? A thief's hand can be dried and sold for high value after all...
Surf and Turf Date: Haziran, 675 BC Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire and Buuchu Tribes. Set in the port of the west, any travellers who are visiting Bedoa at this time can also join in! Way In?: Territory issues between the Bedoan. Maybe your character is a traveller that has gotten muddled in it somehow? Perhaps your character has witnesses the scuffles that have already happened and want to speak to those that were involved? Perhaps they didn't and are about to royally put their foot in it. Perhaps your character is a foreigner, with poor language, that insults someone and then has to beg for their life? Perhaps all you wanted was a little food? A translator might be needed? A helping hand from your traveller friend? Perhaps you're a merchant trying to have the Gesin outbid each other for your wares?
Pure Survival Date: Abutt, 676 BC Location: Southern Lands, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire Tribe. Way In?: If you're a part of the Zaire tribe, you are low on water. Is your character the kind that would hold what little reserve you had in secret? Do you have a sickly relative that you think might need it more than others? Or are you one of the warriors ready to be sent out in search of the next water hole? Are you an enforcer determined to follow the Leier's commands, or a rebel that thinks is plan is a death sentence to you all? Perhaps you are a messenger for another tribe, seeking help? Perhaps you are the one to witness an NPC messenger from a Gesin more parched than your own?
Egypt
Hold On Date: Awwal, 672 BC Location: Northern Wastan, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! You could be Egyptian or just a traveller visiting Cairo. Either way the storm will hit you. Way In?: With all the rooms being rented out already, @rubiah has the plan to lead the unlucky stragglers through the storm and back to her place. Are you stuck in the storm trapped under some cart? Are you looking for someone who was lost and now are seeking shelter? Did your roof come down and now you need help in order to stay safe from the storm?
The Might of the Gods Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Temple of Osiris, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Everyone has been evacuated but the fire still burns! Quick, we have to save Osiris’s Temple! Grab your buckets and help douse the flame! Is this a sign of the gods? Are they angry with how Egyptians have been worshiping? Or is this attack? After all, hidden in the gut of a priest at the feet of Osiris there is a Greek sword...
Feminine Wiles Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: Female Nobility Way In?: The ladies of the upper classes of Cairo have congregated but they aren't the only ones who could be here. Perhaps your character is spying on the gossiping women? Perhaps yours is a servant working in the tavern that hosts this party upon its rooftop. Maybe you're a petulant troublemaker throwing rocks up onto the roof? Is one of the ladies of this get together going to struggle with alcohol or get food poisoning? Will others take this as an omen or an act of sabotage? How about food ladies? Anyone wanting to eat and be judged for their choices? Perhaps some secrets or rumours are exposed and everyone involved is scandalised?! Remember, whilst it makes enemies to be a bitch, when you're attached to wealth and power, it's hard to actually be punished for such acts of dickishness XD
The Greatest Show On Earth Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Port of Cairo, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Literally everyone. If you're in Cairo at this point, come see the circus! Way In?: The show has finally started! Quickly to your seats and watch the opening act between @zein and @delia. Or maybe you’re more interested as to what is being sold outside of the circus? @callidora seems to have an interesting stall. Maybe you’re a thief, looking to make some extra pocket money. Or maybe wandering the grounds you notice a snake that didn’t quite get captured right after children ran through the performance. That’s alright… surely they don’t use poisonous snakes… right?
Dragon’s Breath Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Manopatopa, Egypt Attendance: Grecian and Egyptian soldiers Way In?: As the sun rises into the sky, pulled by Apollo or Ra depending on your beliefs, there is no question that blood will fall on the sands today. Are you a Taengean scout that is keeping an eye on the horizon to protect your King? Or, are you awaiting the Pharaoh’s orders to charge forth with your chariot and khopesh? Now is the time to prepare. No matter which side you are on, get ready! The war begins NOW!
The Child-Like Empress Date: Subat, 682 BC Location: Grand Temple, Egypt. Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Queen is being crowned and though not as subtle as he would have liked to have been, @khufu has stopped a potential assassin. Are there more in the crowd, aiming to kill the young Queen? Will your worries raise the panic in the area or will your level head stop such foolishness and turn attention toward the Coronation once again? Once the Queen is crowned, will you and your family present yourself to her with honest allegiance? Or is it simply lip service to keep from ending up on the wrong end of a soldier’s spear? Get ready, because the ceremony will begin and end before you know it!
A Thousand Threads Date: Thanii, 673 BC Location: The Grand Souk, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Ways Out: The market is coming to an end - but first, gossip runs like wildfire! Is that the Queen Hatshepsut H'Naddar spotted with General @osorsen, or has someone had a bit too much to drink from the ale booth? Curious minds would go check - especially if you are someone who worked in the Palace or Temples and knows the faces of nobles! Whether you make your way trying to follow their trail or simply make your final purchases before the booths close, now is the time to make plans before night falls.
Bring Me That Horizon Date: Tammuz, 673 BC Location: Southern Nile, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way Out?: While the party continues, it is beginning to get late. Have you had too much to drink? That tree looks mighty comfortable to take a nap under. Or maybe it’s time to safely return to your quarters so that you can face the first day in the new year ready. Maybe you’re sitting next to a beautiful lady, and you’d prefer to to continue the festivities in private. Or just enjoy the circus performers as they grace Egyptians with a free show to welcome in the New Year.
Judea
May Your Future Be Bright Date: Awwal, 672 BC Location: Jerusalem, Judea Attendance: All Judeans welcome! Those who are not Jewish may find it difficult to attend but they just need to hide their face and they may be good to go! Way In?: The people of Jerusalem have chanted their prayers and made their wishes. Now it's time for drink and food and merriment. Perhaps you're a performer ready to tell tales from the holy book. Perhaps you are a member of the faithful that go into the Holy Temple. Or is your character a foreigner that has had their origins discovered and is causing a ruckus? Has food been served to you under-prepared - a sacrilege on such a holy day! Where are the guards?
The Way Is Shut Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Greeks are being ceremoniously booted out in their own absence. Are your a Judean helping to cart their belongings to the street? Are you a Grecian servant trying to keep their master's belongings from Hebrew hands? Are you for or against the Greeks being kicked out of Israel? Are you a woodworker helping reinforce the gates. Perhaps you are a simple traveller, confused by all that is happening and warning all those who will listen that there are dark days ahead if the Greeks are angered.
White Lands, Red Hands Date: Kanun, 682 BC Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Greeks are moving in. If you're an attendee of The Way Is Shut? have your opinions changes from when the Greeks arrived to when they are leaving? Do you welcome these men with armour into your home as your defenders against Egypt? Or are you a Greek soldier who is attending to the city to help his brothers move in? Even if you aren't one of the men remaining in Israel, you could still be there for duty purposes? Perhaps you are a Judean merchant looking to make money, selling homeware goods to the men who are now moving in to empty residences? Regardless of what you normally sell or do, soldiers might be willing to flick a coin to the young ones willing to cart their chests and boxes.
Predator Date: Adar, 673 BC Location: Ammun, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: A tiger is trying to break loose and all chaos has reigned! Are you one of the merchants that cannot leave their stalls for risk of thievery? Are you one of the customers that can run from the big jungle cat? Perhaps your character is someone who will take advantage of the chaos, trick the gullible or open their tavern doors with a special price for those that seek shelter?
Golden Afternoon Date: Nisan, 673 BC Location: Mereth Isle, Moab, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The grand floating market is underway! Are you a trader or the servant of one looking to sell goods? Are you a buyer, searching for the perfect present or a bargain on your normal life necessities? Are you enjoying the sunshine and dipping your feet in the water? If you're looking for drama, we have dogs and snakes and all sorts going on with @issa @hazael @miri and @hypatia ! Come join in the fun!
New Events
Innocence Claimed Event - Taengea
The rumours have been vast and varied and the tales of how such an event came to be continue to spin ever wilder. But, it is time to pin gossip to the floor with the careful aim of an archer true. The Lord Dimitrou is to marry once more! His bride? The solo daughter of Lord Konstanos, brother to the Head of the House of Leventi. All of Evangelina and Lord Gavriil's relatives are expected to attend, with the sole exception of his wayward son forced to the shores of Athenia. Whilst some might question the sensitivities of hosting such an event whilst so many men of the land are now known to be in conflict in the South, the militants still left on the Isle of Serenn are more than aware of what it means to have hopeful and joyous tidings when all hope may be lost across the sea... Read More...
Promises Made Event - Judea
Whilst marrying for love is a wondrous and romantic notion, the laws of life dictate that unions are built on stronger stuff than fleeting fancy. In Damascus, marriages are made to be as strong as the mountains in which they live, holding true against the weathering of changing emotions. After a series of talks between the houses of Jaffe and Barak, the union of @amiti and @maeri is finally to happen! Join the families in celebrating perhaps not a love-match but certainly the laying of a strong foundation for the future of the Jaffe household. Peace, blessings and healthy children upon you both...

Pure Survival Date: Abutt, 676 BC Location: Southern Lands, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire Tribe. Way In?: If you're a part of the Zaire tribe, you are low on water. Is your character the kind that would hold what little reserve you had in secret? Do you have a sickly relative that you think might need it more than others? Or are you one of the warriors ready to be sent out in search of the next water hole? Are you an enforcer determined to follow the Leier's commands, or a rebel that thinks is plan is a death sentence to you all? Perhaps you are a messenger for another tribe, seeking help? Perhaps you are the one to witness an NPC messenger from a Gesin more parched than your own?
Egypt
Hold On Date: Awwal, 672 BC Location: Northern Wastan, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! You could be Egyptian or just a traveller visiting Cairo. Either way the storm will hit you. Way In?: With all the rooms being rented out already, @rubiah has the plan to lead the unlucky stragglers through the storm and back to her place. Are you stuck in the storm trapped under some cart? Are you looking for someone who was lost and now are seeking shelter? Did your roof come down and now you need help in order to stay safe from the storm?
The Might of the Gods Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Temple of Osiris, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Everyone has been evacuated but the fire still burns! Quick, we have to save Osiris’s Temple! Grab your buckets and help douse the flame! Is this a sign of the gods? Are they angry with how Egyptians have been worshiping? Or is this attack? After all, hidden in the gut of a priest at the feet of Osiris there is a Greek sword...
Feminine Wiles Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Ghani District, Egypt Attendance: Female Nobility Way In?: The ladies of the upper classes of Cairo have congregated but they aren't the only ones who could be here. Perhaps your character is spying on the gossiping women? Perhaps yours is a servant working in the tavern that hosts this party upon its rooftop. Maybe you're a petulant troublemaker throwing rocks up onto the roof? Is one of the ladies of this get together going to struggle with alcohol or get food poisoning? Will others take this as an omen or an act of sabotage? How about food ladies? Anyone wanting to eat and be judged for their choices? Perhaps some secrets or rumours are exposed and everyone involved is scandalised?! Remember, whilst it makes enemies to be a bitch, when you're attached to wealth and power, it's hard to actually be punished for such acts of dickishness XD
The Greatest Show On Earth Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Port of Cairo, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Literally everyone. If you're in Cairo at this point, come see the circus! Way In?: The show has finally started! Quickly to your seats and watch the opening act between @zein and @delia. Or maybe you’re more interested as to what is being sold outside of the circus? @callidora seems to have an interesting stall. Maybe you’re a thief, looking to make some extra pocket money. Or maybe wandering the grounds you notice a snake that didn’t quite get captured right after children ran through the performance. That’s alright… surely they don’t use poisonous snakes… right?
Dragon’s Breath Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Manopatopa, Egypt Attendance: Grecian and Egyptian soldiers Way In?: As the sun rises into the sky, pulled by Apollo or Ra depending on your beliefs, there is no question that blood will fall on the sands today. Are you a Taengean scout that is keeping an eye on the horizon to protect your King? Or, are you awaiting the Pharaoh’s orders to charge forth with your chariot and khopesh? Now is the time to prepare. No matter which side you are on, get ready! The war begins NOW!
The Child-Like Empress Date: Subat, 682 BC Location: Grand Temple, Egypt. Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Queen is being crowned and though not as subtle as he would have liked to have been, @khufu has stopped a potential assassin. Are there more in the crowd, aiming to kill the young Queen? Will your worries raise the panic in the area or will your level head stop such foolishness and turn attention toward the Coronation once again? Once the Queen is crowned, will you and your family present yourself to her with honest allegiance? Or is it simply lip service to keep from ending up on the wrong end of a soldier’s spear? Get ready, because the ceremony will begin and end before you know it!
A Thousand Threads Date: Thanii, 673 BC Location: The Grand Souk, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Ways Out: The market is coming to an end - but first, gossip runs like wildfire! Is that the Queen Hatshepsut H'Naddar spotted with General @osorsen, or has someone had a bit too much to drink from the ale booth? Curious minds would go check - especially if you are someone who worked in the Palace or Temples and knows the faces of nobles! Whether you make your way trying to follow their trail or simply make your final purchases before the booths close, now is the time to make plans before night falls.
Bring Me That Horizon Date: Tammuz, 673 BC Location: Southern Nile, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way Out?: While the party continues, it is beginning to get late. Have you had too much to drink? That tree looks mighty comfortable to take a nap under. Or maybe it’s time to safely return to your quarters so that you can face the first day in the new year ready. Maybe you’re sitting next to a beautiful lady, and you’d prefer to to continue the festivities in private. Or just enjoy the circus performers as they grace Egyptians with a free show to welcome in the New Year.
Judea
May Your Future Be Bright Date: Awwal, 672 BC Location: Jerusalem, Judea Attendance: All Judeans welcome! Those who are not Jewish may find it difficult to attend but they just need to hide their face and they may be good to go! Way In?: The people of Jerusalem have chanted their prayers and made their wishes. Now it's time for drink and food and merriment. Perhaps you're a performer ready to tell tales from the holy book. Perhaps you are a member of the faithful that go into the Holy Temple. Or is your character a foreigner that has had their origins discovered and is causing a ruckus? Has food been served to you under-prepared - a sacrilege on such a holy day! Where are the guards?
The Way Is Shut Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Greeks are being ceremoniously booted out in their own absence. Are your a Judean helping to cart their belongings to the street? Are you a Grecian servant trying to keep their master's belongings from Hebrew hands? Are you for or against the Greeks being kicked out of Israel? Are you a woodworker helping reinforce the gates. Perhaps you are a simple traveller, confused by all that is happening and warning all those who will listen that there are dark days ahead if the Greeks are angered.
White Lands, Red Hands Date: Kanun, 682 BC Location: Israel, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The Greeks are moving in. If you're an attendee of The Way Is Shut? have your opinions changes from when the Greeks arrived to when they are leaving? Do you welcome these men with armour into your home as your defenders against Egypt? Or are you a Greek soldier who is attending to the city to help his brothers move in? Even if you aren't one of the men remaining in Israel, you could still be there for duty purposes? Perhaps you are a Judean merchant looking to make money, selling homeware goods to the men who are now moving in to empty residences? Regardless of what you normally sell or do, soldiers might be willing to flick a coin to the young ones willing to cart their chests and boxes.
Predator Date: Adar, 673 BC Location: Ammun, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: A tiger is trying to break loose and all chaos has reigned! Are you one of the merchants that cannot leave their stalls for risk of thievery? Are you one of the customers that can run from the big jungle cat? Perhaps your character is someone who will take advantage of the chaos, trick the gullible or open their tavern doors with a special price for those that seek shelter?
Golden Afternoon Date: Nisan, 673 BC Location: Mereth Isle, Moab, Judea Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: The grand floating market is underway! Are you a trader or the servant of one looking to sell goods? Are you a buyer, searching for the perfect present or a bargain on your normal life necessities? Are you enjoying the sunshine and dipping your feet in the water? If you're looking for drama, we have dogs and snakes and all sorts going on with @issa @hazael @miri and @hypatia ! Come join in the fun!
New Events
Innocence Claimed Event - Taengea
The rumours have been vast and varied and the tales of how such an event came to be continue to spin ever wilder. But, it is time to pin gossip to the floor with the careful aim of an archer true. The Lord Dimitrou is to marry once more! His bride? The solo daughter of Lord Konstanos, brother to the Head of the House of Leventi. All of Evangelina and Lord Gavriil's relatives are expected to attend, with the sole exception of his wayward son forced to the shores of Athenia. Whilst some might question the sensitivities of hosting such an event whilst so many men of the land are now known to be in conflict in the South, the militants still left on the Isle of Serenn are more than aware of what it means to have hopeful and joyous tidings when all hope may be lost across the sea... Read More...
Promises Made Event - Judea
Whilst marrying for love is a wondrous and romantic notion, the laws of life dictate that unions are built on stronger stuff than fleeting fancy. In Damascus, marriages are made to be as strong as the mountains in which they live, holding true against the weathering of changing emotions. After a series of talks between the houses of Jaffe and Barak, the union of @amiti and @maeri is finally to happen! Join the families in celebrating perhaps not a love-match but certainly the laying of a strong foundation for the future of the Jaffe household. Peace, blessings and healthy children upon you both...

The Weekly Broadcast Sunday 6th September 2020
'I woke up to an infection in thebhole' - Alex
Okay technically the full quote here would not include the 'b' but have a space instead and goes on to talk about wisdom teeth. But this typo was just too funny not to use in the title this week <3 Sorry Alex ly!
Okay! We've had a few changes this week! The site has been updated from the monthly sweep, we have new characters joining us, new members coming in. We have Events and plots starting to now move forward and members getting their teeth stuck into bigger and better global plots! We've also had a bunch of new updates to our social tasks and our staff team are becoming a well-oiled machine as I let go of some of the duties and tasks I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to do by my lonesome. More and more is happening out on the Aeipathy server just as more people are finding their lives gradually getting closer to normal!
I would like to take a moment to mention that we're all aware that September is a shitty month for activity because everyone is going back to school or being effected by the changes in local demographics with uni students and kiddies going back into education for the new year! We know that September is a horrible month so please do not feel bad about a slowness in posts. What I would like to ask though is that Events become the top of everyone's lists to try and keep things moving smoothly and that we all work hard to dedicate just a little time each week to get something out. I know what it's like to look at a bit To Do list and think - omg I'm never gonna be able to do all that - or - I'll wait until Sunday when I have four hours spare and then I'll just do all of it. Inevitably, we get caught up, we run out of time and the big splurge doesn't happen. I urge everyone to take their thread trackers a thread at a time. If you can get a post out once a day, once a week... It would be a huge help to keeping things running smoothly, rather than big splurges happening or not happening here and there. I'm a terrible one for binge posting in this manner so I will be working hard to do the same! Let's work together to keep Aeipathy moving steadily rather than jump starting here, there and everywhere! Hope you all have an amazing week and I look forward to talking with you all in next week's very first VC Broadcast! Remember to post your queries and questions in the #vc-broadcast channel so that we have lots to talk about! Have fun y'all!
New Additions Below are a list of all of our newest members to the server. Our staff team ask that, when you see them online, give them a shout out and say 'hi, how are you?' You can use our #general-chat or our #quiet-room - entirely depending on how busy our main channel is - but we highly recommend touching base and saying hello - they might be interested in making a character you're seeking for your own plots after all...
Annie
Jarnvidr
Juliette
We've also had new characters added to our accepted roster! Remember! The first member to start a thread with each of our newly accepted characters from new members get to collect Points! Give these characters a shout out in their relevant kingdom channel to get the plotting chat going! Just remember to give their profiles a read so that you can approach their writer with some fun ideas!
News and Updates
New Challenge: Broken Toys The challenge this week is very simply guys! Your character just has to break something. Simple right? The only catch is, the breakage of whatever this thing is needs to be an issue. You can't just break something in the corner of a servant's store room where no-one can see and it's nbd. We wanna see drama! So break a vat of something that spills all over a stranger, smash something that is precious to the family name. Damage a wall or tapestry in a fit of rage and have your wife yell at you. Whatever it is, the breaking of this 'thing' needs to create a big ass drama. Once this has been achieved, just post your thread in the #member-challenge channel to claim your point! You'll get a point per character who achieves this and remember - you have two weeks to get this member challenge done now that the broadcasts have been shifted about!
OTM Awards: July Voting Closed! Winners Announced! Congratulations to all of our winners for July's OTM Awards! A huge shout out to those who have helped to shine a light on those who worked hard in the month of July! Here are your winners - congratulations everyone! Character of the Month - @theodora Romance of the Month - @theodora and @emilios Dynamic of the Month - @emilios and @sara Thread of the Month - Winter Wonderland Moment of the Month - The Fires of Faith House of the Month - Dynasteia Drakos AU Ship of the Month - @lukos , @zosime and a Chair
OTM Awards: August Noms Open! As well as a closure of our July awards, we have the opening of Noms for August! If you know of someone who has worked particularly hard this month on the site or whose stories you have been following allow with an aching need then pop your nominations to our staff team!
Pinterest Challenge: Storyboard We've a new Pinterest Challenge in the works! Rather than reiterate, here is the challenge in our Pinterest Moderator's own words: Hey, everyone! It is that time of month, and that means its Pinterest Challenge time! This was a challenge that you had to sign up for because you would be paired off into twos to participate. If you haven't signed up and want to participate after reading about the challenge, fear not! It is not too late but you may have to wait for someone else to sign up if we don't have a partner for you. That being said, here we go. This month's challenge is an Alternate Universe challenge! The purpose of the challenge is to create an AU story between you and your partner's characters. You may use any of your characters; they don't need to know one another on the site to create an AU board. That is the fun of it, right? Two characters that would likely never meet on site could meet in any reality you choose. Your AU story must contain at least 50 pins and pairs should attempt to make it flow like a story. You can use words and phrases on your pins, gifs, still images, even videos. Anything that tells your story to your audience is perfect. You can choose any story you like, so work with your partner to come up with something. It cannot just be a general "lets throw these characters together into a board". It must show some cohesiveness in its construction so that we might be able to glean a story from your pins. Each member will gain 10 points for finishing the minimum of 50 pins instead of the standard 3 or 5 like normal. Each pair has been given their own section within this month's AU board so they are all set and ready to start on once you have accepted the invite below. Again, if you would still like to participate and/or need some help becoming a collaborator on our Pinterest page, feel free to drop me a DM! If you are looking to partake in the game still, then message Urit! We may be able to work out an extension of the deadline so that more people can play! Congrats to all those who completed the challenge and already have their member points!
Announcement: Community Updates We've had some updates to the way the server and our community are run! Our staff team are getting stuck in on keeping new updates rolling and our games in play, so check out the new features in this announcement.
Update: Future Realm Expansions For those who don't already know, we at Aeipathy like to keep expanding our world as we continue to grow! We have a set of statistics that we aim to hit before we open up a new Realm and our newest update on where we are at with meeting this targets came out today! Check it out and see if there are gaps that you might be able to fill!
Awards and Recognition
Member of the Moment: Cherry Sometimes the quiet ones are not noticed as easily on the server! But what you may not know is that the lovely Cherry has been participating left right and centre! Always chirping up in the plotting DMs, voting on all the OTMs and partaking in well-being challenges - not to mention the recent Pinterest Challenge, Cherry is getting stuck in! And we love it! Let's keep it up and make like Cherry! Congrats you're our first two-week Member of the Moment as our next written broadcast will be in two weeks time. Enjoy the hat!
Our Events and Stories are large, mass threads where everyone who has a viable character for that moment or setting can partake. They are often revolving around key players in our current global plots but they also create great opportunities for characters to meet and greet rather than our site becoming cluttered with 'first encounter' threads. Our Events are voluntary, but we recommend that all members keep at least a cursory eye on what is happening in each on-going Event within any kingdom their character(s) are a part of. This way, you're always up-to-date on the latest drama in your character's homeland.
Check our the updates below for each of our current Events, provided by our Kingdom Managers. All of these Events and Provincial Stories are open so have your character dive in to any and all!
Greece
Information on Greek Events and Provincial Stories will be in the next written broadcast in two weeks time!
Bedoa
Heated Flesh Date: Awwal, 672 BC Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans. Any and all travellers. This takes place at a port, so if your character happens to be journeying around Bedoa at this point in time, you can be a part of the fun too! Way In?: In this event, the Gesins of Bedoa are struggling with a feverish disease. Perhaps your character has started to feel ill and is rushing to a healer tent, even if it's for one with their own Gesin? Perhaps your character has found a fallen victim, passed out with his illness, trying to do the same and your character can help them get the rest of the way? Perhaps your character knows of a plant rumoured to help with fever and delirium. Perhaps they heard someone whispering at the docks about poisoned water holes? Is this just an accident or pandemic? Or is there more to be investigated here? Perhaps your character is devout, is seeing this illness as a curse from the ancestors or the Gods. Perhaps they call a group prayer and tribute or sacrifice to try and lift the curse?
Crime and Punishment Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Eastern Dunes, Bedoa Attendance: Any and all Bedoans and Egyptians. This event is on the border of Bedoa and Egypt, near Qalha, so just about anyone in those two kingdoms can join in! Way In?: Bedoan boys are being punished by Egyptian officials. And Africa is a highly xenophobic realm. This opens up tonnes of opportunity for drama! Are you a Bedoan thinking that justice upon your own should be handled internally? Are you an Egyptian yelling for punishment? Are you a religious being seeking guidance from the ancestors? Is your character a friend to one of the NPCs being punished? Or an executioner that knows something about their innocence that he should not? Are these boys even guilty? Or are they guilty of more than they were caught for? Does the crime meet the punishment or is it too harsh? What will happen with the boy's hands if the punishment is meted out? A thief's hand can be dried and sold for high value after all...
Surf and Turf Date: Haziran, 675 BC Location: Port of the West, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire and Buuchu Tribes. Set in the port of the west, any travellers who are visiting Bedoa at this time can also join in! Way In?: Territory issues between the Bedoan. Maybe your character is a traveller that has gotten muddled in it somehow? Perhaps your character has witnesses the scuffles that have already happened and want to speak to those that were involved? Perhaps they didn't and are about to royally put their foot in it. Perhaps your character is a foreigner, with poor language, that insults someone and then has to beg for their life? Perhaps all you wanted was a little food? A translator might be needed? A helping hand from your traveller friend? Perhaps you're a merchant trying to have the Gesin outbid each other for your wares?
Pure Survival Date: Abutt, 676 BC Location: Southern Lands, Bedoa Attendance: Zaire Tribe. Way In?: If you're a part of the Zaire tribe, you are low on water. Is your character the kind that would hold what little reserve you had in secret? Do you have a sickly relative that you think might need it more than others? Or are you one of the warriors ready to be sent out in search of the next water hole? Are you an enforcer determined to follow the Leier's commands, or a rebel that thinks is plan is a death sentence to you all? Perhaps you are a messenger for another tribe, seeking help? Perhaps you are the one to witness an NPC messenger from a Gesin more parched than your own?
Egypt
Hold On Date: Awwal, 672 BC Location: Northern Wastan, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! You could be Egyptian or just a traveller visiting Cairo. Either way the storm will hit you. Way In?: With all the rooms being rented out already, @rubiah has the plan to lead the unlucky stragglers through the storm and back to her place. Are you stuck in the storm trapped under some cart? Are you looking for someone who was lost and now are seeking shelter? Did your roof come down and now you need help in order to stay safe from the storm?
The Might of the Gods Date: Thanii, 672 BC Location: Temple of Osiris, Egypt Attendance: All Welcome! Way In?: Everyone has been evacuated but the fire still burns! Quick, we have to save Osiris’s Temple! Grab your buckets and help douse the flame! Is this a sign of the gods? Are they angry with how Egyptians have been worshiping? Or is this attack? After all, hidden in the gut of a priest at the feet of Osiris there is a Greek sword...
