Announce Post #3323: The Summer Cornucopia
In July, credit purchases from the website will come with special chests once more. For every 100 credits purchased, you will receive one chest. To sweeten the pot, you will also receive a chest at the first 25, 50, and 75 credit intervals, resulting in 4 chests total after purchasing the first 100 credits. Your progress will refresh every 1000 credits and can be reviewed with SHOWREWARDS. Disclaimer: This does not apply to the No-Brainer credit packages.
What's inside the chest? A boon of your choice! You can UNLATCH the chest and choose between receiving extra 25 bound credits, 500 aethergoop, or 1 gleaming wondercrystal.
The above will come in handy as a sale on -all- artifacts in the in-game Artifact Shop (ASHOP) is back. Absolutely everything is 20% off for the entire month of July. If you've been saving for it, now's the time to purchase it!
Finally, you can also buy artifacts directly from the website at a steep discount in the so-called Artifact Cart (30% off). The discount is even higher if you have an Iron Elite Membership (40% off). A number of limited-availability artifacts - normally available through Auctions or special promotions - can also be found in the Special category.
In July you can also enjoy Klangratch's Mighty Mondays and Fated Wednesdays. The former will boost your hunting damage and the latter will mark you with the truefavour of the Fates.

Re: Character breakdown
Don't mind me necro'ing this thread. Felt like this will help me after returning. 
FAVOURITES
Colour: Ectoplasmic glow. Aureate.
Stubbornly knows: Tarot. Mother said they weren't paying for another Hex or Astrology tutor if she couldn't keep them alive.
MINDSET
Goals: Acknowledgment from the Supreme Master, Replace her Inheritance Requisite Husband to regain access to her trust fund, Design a new mask.
Ambitions: Gain deeper communion with the flowing creative wellspring through Drocilla's teachings, Finishing one of several books she's started, Explore more libraries and read all the things.
Character Name: Vella d'Vanecu
THE ESSENTIALS
Race: Viscanti
Gender: Female
Guild: Society
City/Commune: Magnagora, The City
Order: Drocilla
Order: Drocilla
THE LOOK
Hair: Currently, very long, blond, and overly styled by eager servants. Alternatively, her hair appears as dark as a soothing abyss.
Hair: Currently, very long, blond, and overly styled by eager servants. Alternatively, her hair appears as dark as a soothing abyss.
Eyes: Halting red and gold by birth. At times, a shade of vivid amethyst, closer to lavender than indigo.
Height: Perfectly poised at five feet. Not a mistake.
Height: Perfectly poised at five feet. Not a mistake.
Build: Despite appearing inclined to an intoxicated lifestyle of noble leisure, she is an avid hunter that wildly enjoys the bloodmoney and sport of traditional 'exercise.' A lean layer of muscle keeps her skin attached to her undead bones, but lacks the bulk to intimidate average-height peoples. Her dedication to tending duties upon Nil requires a level of fitness best suited for endurance and survival.
Defining Features: Each body is a temple of transformation. Ritual and experimentation leave their marks in the form of prayer scars, esoteric floral tattoos, and tiny ferrous ports discretely filled with the Necrochemist's patented, polluted, and bejewelled spikes.
Piercings: As many as the outfit requires, wherever required. Simple, blackened gold stitch studs are personal favourites.
Scars: Her divine template wouldn't be disrespected by the signs of haphazard, imperfect healing. Dutifully, she is marked with a perfectly healed brand and skilfully renewed devotional art.
PERSONALITY
Strengths: Investigatory, Vicious loyalty, Zealous devotion, Forgetful, Grim humour, Traditionally explorative, Selective hearing, sight, and acknowledgment.

Weaknesses: Coerced by boredom, Forgetful, Distracted by gifts, Allegedly aloof, Goal-oriented focus-blindness, Indecision fatigue, Renovating enormous family estates.
Attitude: Quiet and observant. Reserved to a whisper of a snarky joke to those closest to her. Eager to volunteer when her skills align. Very firm in her tastes.

Morals: In Service, we are strengthened and refined into more perfect beings, capable of defending this Great Work as it progresses, and as we harness and comprehend transformative potential. In Suffering, we are artists embarking on personal expressions of change, endurance, and symbolism. In Nil, of Nil, through Nil, the Engine influences all things. Live by the Family Rules.
Pet Peeves: Rude contemptibles, the Audience of bird-spies, Running out of ink, Misplaced books, Slow walkers, Uninteresting dishonesty.
Pet Peeves: Rude contemptibles, the Audience of bird-spies, Running out of ink, Misplaced books, Slow walkers, Uninteresting dishonesty.
Best ways to piss her off: Disrespect. Misting the air with water. Outing her hiding spot. Eight plums, instead of seven, in her Kiani roast.
Best ways to make her happy: Be her muse for a design, Show her a new place to explore/hide, Gift her a rare sketch, Praise her parents, Paint the Supreme Master.
FAVOURITES
Colour: Ectoplasmic glow. Aureate.
Stubbornly knows: Tarot. Mother said they weren't paying for another Hex or Astrology tutor if she couldn't keep them alive.
Stubbornly enjoys: Dreamer then Soulless.
Primary Skill: Obviously, Necromancy. Maybe specifically, Leech. Sharing is caring, but a great storyteller is delicious.
Location: Waiting for the Greatest Grandfather Ever to return upon the tower of d'Murani with a signed release form to the rest of my inheritance. Or, visiting Uncle Seritul for a chat/hiding from Auntie Fi.
God/Goddess: The Enchantress, Drocilla. Naturally.
Artifact (don't own): Promise Rings? She would be so entertained popping in on someone whenever.
Commodity: Headlessscarf, Fresh blood, Goldentonics, Gold.
Animal: Spiders and dogs, because they were never allowed inside! Swans respectably keep secrets. Never owned a starfish, could be nice.
Animal: Spiders and dogs, because they were never allowed inside! Swans respectably keep secrets. Never owned a starfish, could be nice.
Item owned: Vella worked so very hard to earn her crown, and would be her choice if asked. Yet, she would be severely hindered without the beautiful fetter of living shadows at her ankle, admittedly.
Village/forest/region: An exclusive retreat upon Nil, The Shallamurine Cathedral, or Caoimhe Dell for supplies.

NPC: Supreme Master Luciphage.
Memory: Ask about it.
Song: Funerary pieces with violin. The List sung to piano.
Drink: Partially 'devoured' faeblood wine from the family collection. Nereid nectar? More partial to smoking and toying with poisons.
Hobbies: Adding gold-dipped preservations to her collection, Sketchbook expanding, Reading foreign writings, Harassing the Prison, Toying with new food, Family imp farming, Chanting at the Duke. Always time to get interested in something new.

Why you should love her: Games, Bets, Macabre merriment, Strange food challenges, Entertaining times to be had.
Why you should fear her: If you fall asleep, she might tattoo you.
Why she is harmless: Lousy in a real fight, or is she? Ever want to try a crucifixion?
If she ruled the world, you'd best expect: One Empire, guided by Nil, glorious damnation to the Tainted. Allow Confessions will be understood as Influences wielded with Potential towards Perfection. Arsenic and orange zest cakes every Empire Day!

Re: QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING
Etra eats an ivory, candle-like cake with obvious gusto.
In a slow, rumbling tone, Oaken Figment Etra Nightshade whispers, "Well that's just the tastiest candle I've ever eaten."
Huskii Myeras of the Misty Vale whispers, "How many has she eaten..."
Jolanthe hums a happy tune.

Assembling Chixesaka Miim's Ledger
This unbound ledger lies here, closed. The hard leather cover is simple, with
only a faint dracnari handprint near the top right. A delicate fragrance wafts
up from the vellum pages within, a gentle mingling of kouseki blossom and the
intoxicating aroma of incense.
With: Chixesaka Miim, Xislia Dith, Tloxenga Chum, a loboshigaru pilgrim
as well as Eiselle, Galaphyrae, Huskii, Beda, Ixchilgal, Jalraza, Jezira, Uzriel, Xenthos, and Xiran.

Re: Alliance System
What do you think about allowing up to four organizations in an alliance so 4v2 alliances are possible?

Re: Alliance System
Okay, I've had my bit of a break.
Below is going to be my new proposal. As of the time of posting the proposal, I am not going to look at the forums thread or the Discord thread for a day or two to give you time to process it and ask any questions. After the 24/48 hour period I will come back and answer any questions that may be present on either mode of communication.
Stage One.
The stage one release of alliances will set the foundation for how they are going to work in the future. The steps for forming an alliance will be the same in the original proposal, and will include the bookbinding treaty item. As a recap I've pasted it below.
Alliance Forming:
- An organization will initiate the alliance with ALLIANCE INITIATE <org>.
- The organization that has been offered the alliance must then ALLIANCE ACCEPT. This must be done within 12 IRL days or the alliance will dissolve.
- As the cap for each alliance is 3 organizations, the above two steps may be done again to add a third organization to the alliance forming process from the outset.
- Once the alliance has been accepted, a Treaty must be created and signed by all members of the Alliance. This is similar to the treaties that alliances have now, however with the alliance system it will be made into a new bookbinding replica (and accompanying skill) under AB BOOKBINDING TREATY. The treaty will be provided with ALLIANCE TREATY <item number>.
- Once the treaty has been provided, all organization members of the alliance must ALLIANCE SIGN TREATY. To sign a treaty, the signing member must be within the city/commune council chambers and possess a seal for their organization. The ‘signature’ on the treaty will be the seal’s stamp line.
- Once a treaty has been signed by all Alliance members, the leaders must then ALLIANCE CONFIRM. Once all members have confirmed the alliance, the alliance will be formed and active. Each city/commune leader will receive a copy of the treaty.
Stage one will provide:
- Two channels, as per the original proposal
- AHELPs
- Alliance Log
- Writelog Privs for CR6 of each org.
- Ability to name the alliance (This will not be subject to Admin review when it is set, however if an inappropriate name is used we will have the ability to remove or change it at will)
What is the purpose for stage one?
Stage one sets the foundation for all future alliance changes and combat balancing. Currently, the process for counting people on either 'side' of the game would involve iterating through each player in a city, followed by each clan of that player, and looking for a specific clan. This, in a sense of hard coding, would mean the code needs to be changed every time the clans change, and would use a lot more time and processing power to collect said information. By changing to a hard coded system, it makes that process a whole lot faster by being able to search for the specific alliance members.
Alliance lifetime:
Alliances under this proposal will last until they are dissolved. There are two ways for an alliance to dissolve. The CL's of the org can agree and each enter a command, and once all leaders have entered the command, then the alliance dissolves. Alliances can also be dissolved if there is one org left within the Alliance. For instance:
- Mag/Celest/Glom are in an Alliance.
- Glom leaves, and the alliance members are Mag/Celest.
- Some time passes and Celest leaves. As Mag would be the only org left, the alliance is dissolved.
Leaving an alliance will incur a power penalty of 100K power to the leaving org if they leave within 10 Lusternian years of the Alliance's creation. This is to discourage alliances being made and dropped whenever they are deemed necessary (future proofing for potential changes that could come after stage one) and to encourage longevity between member Orgs.
Future:
There is currently a few circulating ideas for future stage releases of alliances, however the plan is I'll code and release stage one, do some conflict balancing, work on some other projects for a bit (such as econ) and then come back and discuss stage two.

If there are any questions or feedback on the above please make it as targeted and as detailed as possible so I can respond accurately for questions.
