I hope this doesn't sound anal or elitist (okay, let's be honest, I don't care in either case...) but I'd like to put out raves to the Godmin for correctly interpreting this deadline:
midnight on Sunday, 25th February, 2018
You would be amazed how frequently the people who put out a midnight deadline don't understand the day it actually applies to. Props.
This is probably a case of Americanism - 'Midnight on February 25th' would in most cases mean '12:00am February 26th' for Americans. Some places have started using 11:59pm instead of midnight to avoid confusion.

Agreed. See, I know what it means, but the problem is that nowadays I can't be sure that the person who wrote it (i.e., the job advertiser) does, and who's ever gonna win that argument? So sad as I am to see the shift to 11.59pm rather than sticking to an equally clear time, that does take a lot of the anxiety out of applying.

Alas, the meaning of language is defined by the people using the language, so when we use the language differently, it's not equally clear.
I wound up asking about that on the forums, because where I'm from (which is in the US) it would definitely mean end of the day on Sunday, to the point that I know of places here that have accepted applications after what they considered the deadline rather than deal with the blowback in the community of being considered to have falsely advertised the deadline.

Nobody who understands how time works mixes this up. It's not an Americanism. There's only one proper way of interpreting it, but too many people are idiots and get all upset when they're wrong--and that IS an Americansim.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.

- Jewellery Repair's gold cost has been reduced significantly.
Yay! *happy dance*
(For those who are unaware, REPAIR in jewelry was prohibitively expensive when it came to low-end goods like rings - a ring that cost maybe 100 gold worth of materials to make would cost anywhere up to 5000 gold to repair)
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Nebulous and incandescent, this sibylline sidiak bird displays her frosty form with pride and effervescent grace. Bearing little in the way of physical shape, she seems instead to be made almost entirely of the regal roars of the lion constellation, which drift in and out of formation as she moves. Her avian head is made of the same manifest thought, with glittering, irisless eyes of galactic hues that seem always to be watching you no matter where you move. With amorphous wings of light and shadow, this radiant creature never deigns to alight upon a surface, seeming to require nothing so mundane as rest. A frosty sidiak bird with amorphous wings of light and shadow looks to be crushingly strong.
My sidiak matured. It's perfect. I'm also a Leo IRL so I feel that lion constellation so hard. /cries.
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
I have to throw in a rave for @Ianir for all of his time and help with a really unfortunate bug that actually disbanded my (already wonky) cult. I thought I was really screwed, but he was very prompt and generous in getting it all resolved. Thanks, Ianir, for being so good at what you do, and also thanks to the whole coding team for your continued contributions to the game we love.
One million raves to the etiquette and dancing class that Hallifax held!
Amazing beautiful stunning avatar by Gurashi! ~ A gentle breeze ruffles your wings and whispers in your ears, as if for you alone, "Dragonfly's words shine... seeds, sown and tended, inspire... a forest harvest." ~ Maylea reaches out, Her fingers poised in midair. "Now you are of Me, even more than you were before." Her golden and azure eyes glitter. "Walk well, Eldin. Shed glory in My name, and bring life to the lifeless."
I'm going to rave for that war battle and especially @Lorina and @kreon. Given how unprepared, last minute and entirely "what we feel like doing? let's pick this" we were going with this, we did extremely well and it was fun Just need to get off this adrenaline rush now... I feel like a squirrel on too much caffeine.

It's cracking me up how hard we YOLO'ed this. I was legit not going to participate and just watch the battles. Thanks for forcing me to do this. It was so much fun!

@Anita for complimenting my crappy book. I was getting so sick of writing it, but then I wrote two whole sections after that because I was so stoked.
Also, literally all of Hallifax, you guys have been so great helping me get settled in!
