Raves for Kaizynne and Ixion and the rest of the crew for helping me attain Demi after long IRL years. Also raves for Shaddus because of reasons.
I always joked that the day Orvi would get Demi would be when Hallifax explodes or gets involved in another timewar, or when Jojobo came out.
One of those scenarios did not disappoint. When it came to Ascend, this happened.
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 100. You have reached the illustrious level of Demigod. You have received 25 Bound Credits! You have received 1 Sticky Wondercrystals! You feel your innermost energies growing to extreme proportions as a darkness takes over your senses. When your senses return, you find yourself in a different location and there is a strange feeling within you. The Vault of Heaven. Balancing a shimmering sky, a veil in the fabric of reality seethes with raw energy. The veil, though extremely thin, flickers and crackles, sending booming vibrations through the surroundings. Glancing through, the miniscule details of the Upper Haven become visible and almost picturesque. A continuous breeze filters from the veil, bringing the previously cold atmosphere to comfortable temperance. With outstretched arms, an enormous statue of Estarra stands here vigilantly. Prelate Shaddus Trueflight, of the Broken Teeth hovers in midair, borne upon a bank of sickly, coiling black smog. He wields a desecrated elfenbone cane in his left hand and a twisted staff in his right hand. You see a single exit leading down.
Shaddus leans in and rubs his nose against yours in playful circles before placing a gentle kiss on your lips.
Enigma's Gambit has been destroyed by Nyx Daedema. Merlose has died in the imploded wreckage of Enigma's Gambit. You see the death occur at Bow Turret. Kethaera has died in the imploded wreckage of Enigma's Gambit. You see the death occur at A crystalline observation platform.
Prelate Shaddus Trueflight, of the Broken Teeth says, "Welcome, Beloved."
You spread your arms out behind you, running deliriously in circles screaming, "Wheee!"

TIL Nature's Gift will refresh mistletoe at tree elevation as well as the rest of the forest herbs at ground elevation on a single cast. Now I just wish it was castable in rooms that weren't totally devoid of herbs.
(Fire Hogwash): You say, "Yet more things I want, but can not have. Watch as I pull goop from my wondercorn."
You reach into the Moonhart Cornucopia of Radiant Sunflowers, searching for something special. Your hand closes around something distinctly inedible, and amid a rainbow shower of sparkles you remove a gleaming crystal of wonder triumphantly.
Taunt it, got it.

Raves for finally getting hitched! @Uzriel for being all-round awesome, @Kailanna for performing a wonderful ceremony and raves also for those who came along. Logs will come for the curious!
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Whoever was possessing Jhairus, and probably Victor too. You really made this event a lot of fun for Shaddus, and the Full Skeletal Alchemy was an absolute blast. I hope to see this sort of prog/minigame again in future events.
Whoever made our new orclach geochemantics engineer. Seeing more and more mobs embrace the skillset/rp of geochem really brightens my day and makes me want to play Shaddus more. I am super stoked about him and hope he sticks around.
Double raves for @Kailanna, for putting up with Shaddus' shenanigans more than usual.
@Arix, whose devotion to helping novices no matter what's going on, as well as menial tasks which help the city is a testimony to this guy's good naturedness and all around generosity.
@Thax , @Drocilla , @Raezon , and @RandomEphs or @RandomGods who might have helped with this. I'm rude pretty often, but I try to give credit where it's due, and you folks went out of your way to make this an interesting event. I'm not sure what you expected to do this weekend, but you kept us on our toes. I hope we kept you on your toes as well. Thank you all.

@Mysrai you continue to give me feelies I just ... wanna pet the puppy
‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways. It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’

Cheers to Arix! Many years you have spent on this journey, and you have finally arrived at the apex! Behold, you are bestowed the title 'the Final Oldbie Demigod'.
Some quick raves to all of Lusternia as I am feeling particularly happy with the recent upswing in my close friend's health:
My order is full of peaches lately. You all know who you are, and I will not wax poetic about it, but you all are making excellent progress on finally developing some of these mini-arcs for yourself. I am a very excited puppy.
My city is full of activity and energy, even when I'm not around 24/7 due to IRL things. You always leave something fun to wake up to and look at, like cookie-offs and weddings to plan, and more. Keep being wonderful Gaudi.
The rest of you give me RP logs to read, quotes to chuckle at, and keep me incredibly entertained throughout the day as I think of your antics and what new meteoric apocalypse delights I might be able to swing your way.
And the Havens remains, to this day, a group of wonderful people who I would happily fight a small-to-medium-sized bear for. Large bear? Well...I mean...I'll gum up their jaws with my bones. I love you all very dearly and am so glad that I can log in and share my frustrations and make the worst jokes in the world with you, you've made what could have been an impossible time much, much easier.
Rave! Things! It's a Mysrai! Doing Mysrai things! And it fills me with glee! And there's a Silvanos, doing Silvanos things (needs a new laptop to do more, woe) happy things, uh happy things! There's an Ianir just doing Ianir things, and that's great! There's a Coraline being good and stinky and summoning shinies, and now I have to compete being shiny with the literal manifestation of dusk? Woe! Woe! Some designs were approved! Some were not! Some were hopefully resubmitted! You can now have a Bizirik cup and kiss it! Some of Shulamit's children are waking up! Sweet! Nice! I submitted stuff which is terrifying! Lots of people are very cool! Hi!

Big raves to @Raezon, who puts up with so much talk from Vexacion and has taught her many things. Even just talking over OT brightens my experience, and the Order has opened her eyes to accepting alternative ways of thinking and cultures within the Basin that she would never have otherwise been willing to consider. I hope we manage to bring you some joy the way you bring us some joy.
Lufir gave me a really great scene earlier, discussing tolerance, social norms and embracing things for the greater good of unity. Despite our characters having very different personalities and views of Magnagoran culture, I like to think this will encourage more RP discussions in the future.
My sweet IC-nubbin Ealou also gets big raves, as well as grandpappy @Ixion, papa @Malarious, @Ruiku and the rest of Magnagora; I've really enjoyed having an organization that's so full of life and makes me have fun logging in.
Many raves and hugs from me for both our incredible admin and all of you lovely players - I've had a truly horrible 6 weeks and it's been so important to have this wonderful a community around me.
After a week of improvements and good news, I've managed to start moving myself back to normal (helped a lot by the hilarity of last night's livestream), and I'm hoping that I will be in full normal service in not too much longer. It may take a while longer for you to see Czixi again, as my priority has to be my commitments as Aonia, but I'll get there eventually. Thank you for your patience.
Whatever the current situation means for you, I hope you are all managing to take care of yourselves and each other.

We've missed you, but we'll still be here when you're ready for us.
Czixi, the Welkin murmurs, "Fight on, My Effervescent Sylph. I will be with you as you do."
Aian Lerit'r, Lead Schematicist exclaims to you, "A *paperwork* emergency, Chairman!
Thank you to the admin who put so much effort into all of that and this entire arc for Celest. I know there was a lot of noise last night, and my head felt like it was going to explode....thank you! I lived out my GoT fantasy on the Northern Walls of Celest.
A girl must USE the Ballista. What do we say to the dragons of death? Not today.
Raves for the dragon emissary and humoring Orv's attempts at diplomacy and politesse while everything else was going on. Raves especially to @Alexandria for being a stellar Chairwoman.

I was struggling, haha. I was on my phone the first bit, and came home and sat around in my sweaty work clothes for the rest with the kids being obnoxious.

Raves for the Mag players and their support! It's been a wild 5 weeks learning this game from nothing and getting Demi in the process. There is such an great cast of personalities in the city and the alliance.

Looking forward to the end...I think? So much suspense!
Now, where's my sword of Dawn's Promise, so I can go full Xena Warrior Merian. Bring me my broom!
