Happy New Year all you dear Theurgists around the globe! :)

Looking forward to a January filled with story progression now that the Aldea Anthology is rounding off. It will still be open, but gradually the focus will shift to Season 2.

Hope you are all well out there!

Best,

Auctor Lucan

Happy new year, folks and folkettes. To those of you whom I owe posts and/or topic starters: sorry about that. Through illness, family shenanigans and other jolly stuff, writing has been difficult lately. I’m still a tad ill, but I should be fully up to date by Saturday.

Hope everyone has a happy new year!

TWO AWARD POLLS POSTED

Hi there everyone! Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year's Eve, wherever you are. :)

Two award polls have been posted on the Main OOC board for the Blaze of Glory Award and the Golden Chevron, and you all have 3 days to submit your votes. These are the final Writing Awards in this awards season, but I have one last GM award to hand out after that.

Thank you all who submitted your nominations! :)

CURRENT POSTING STATUS!

Furthermore, now that 2020 have started, I took the time to go over the Aldea Prime and Episode 05 boards and check what the current forum status is, and here are my findings. Use Ctrl+F to find your username?

It's 3 a.m. here so I want to apologise if I managed to overlook something in compiling this list, lol! Please let me know which of the old threads that won't be continued and should be locked. PM me in that case! :)

Over the Holidays, we have been very good at informing our writing partners, just like when RL issues are getting in the way, so let's keep doing that! ( good ) Bear in mind that we should always try to reply in our current threads within 7 days, and neglecting to do so breeds more inactivity among other writers - others thinking that its fine to leave writing partners waiting indefinitely.

Best,

Auctor Lucan

NEW STORY DEVELOPMENT: A SAVI ALLIANCE


This may have been foreshadowed already in Hide & Seek in the Beyond, and in the Story Poll held a couple of months back, but the time has come to establish the Savi Alliance. This will be done in this thread:

Day 12 [1147 hrs.] An Erstwhile Enemy

All writers with Senior Staff characters are hereby asked to read up on this post above, and to post once or twice in the thread just so that this development can be ironed out properly. I hope you all like the read, and that you have enough to work with in terms of reactions to the news that Ives bring. Please also notice how you have a choice to either have your character come to the conference lounge for this summons, or phone in via vid-link from somewhere else on the three parts of the ship.

Best Regards,

Auctor Lucan

COME SEE THE MEMORIAL WALL!

On and off for the last few weeks, @Fife has taken it upon himself to build us an actual Memorial Wall for the Theurgy, and not just the cutaway image of the terrace:


>> Click for Full Size

No, that's just an IC reference for what that area of the ship looks like. What @Fife has done, however, was to make this:


>> Link to the New Memorial Wall Page!

This page lists both Primary Characters and NPCs that have served aboard the Theurgy but died in the line of duty. With this new page, we will also add links to the posts on the forum in which the specific character died, and it will be a gradual development of detective work. Right now, only the death scenes of three characters have been added to the page, namely Eliska Bremmer, Lin Kae and Eboh. Please take your time to help out adding links to this page if you find the time.

What you do then is that you send a PM to @Fife , who needs the hyperlink to the relevant post (not the thread, but the specific post) as well as the name of the dead character. Kindly enough, @Fife has offered to keep this page updated whenever a character dies or a death scene is sent to him via PM, and I have just now added links all over the site to this Memorial Wall page. You can now find it underneath Database in the top menu, as well as the wiki side menu and the Database page. You will also be able to reach it from above the Dead Crewmates listings on the Crew Manifest.

STORY TOKEN CHALLENGE!

In fact.... let's make this interesting. How about the PM with the link and name is sent to both Fife and I, and I will add 1 Story Token to the sender for every 3 death-links and names that are sent to Fife and I? That means you have to collect 3 links and names, and send them all in a batch. Moreover, you need to send a link that hasn't already been submitted, which might become a challenge in itself depending on how many will participate in this challenge.

Sounds like morbid fun? Then go hunt them all down on the boards! :)

Best,

Auctor Lucan

Just a quick message for all of those involved in Day 09 [0130 hrs.] Ghostbusters | The SIlver Shadows Part 03.

It has now been almost 7 weeks since I posted last in that thread. In that time @Fife is the only writer to have posted. If I could ask @trevorvw, @lisavw, @Masorin, @Sqweloookle, @Bastila, @Revan if they could post within the next week, before Monday 13/01/2020, or let me know otherwise so that I can advance the thread along please.

THEURGISTS GONE INACTIVE

Hi there everyone! :)

Well, in spite of saying they were going to remain and become active again in the census, a few Theurgists have unfortunately neither resumed posting nor communicated their extended absence. Since they ceased replying to messages, they were given a set amount of time to start replying in their threads again, but like it was before the census, I did not receive any replies to my PMs. Therefore, I can but assume RL has consumed their time and that they might return at some point when it's better suited for them.

So the following Theurgists have now been listed as Inactive pending further information or return, and the fates of their characters are mentioned in white:

  • Jesaya as:
    • T'Leia Character Intro Suspended, Not Inheritable
    • Vanya NPC, Available For Inheritence
For all of you who have ongoing threads between these characters above and your own, I may not be available to NPC them all to bring closure to the scenes. Therefore, if possible, I would prefer if you edited the last post you made in the thread to resolve what you need for your characters and added a - FIN to it. Then, please PM me with a notice to have the thread locked.

If there is a crucial need for me to NPC these characters somewhere, however, I'd be happy to! Just PM me in that case and state what you need for your character or the thread in question.

Sad to see these writers got caught up with other things, and I'd love to see them return to full activity, but hopefully they are okay out there.

Best,

Auctor Lucan

Well I know at least hree of those who were just busy with holiday things and should be returning soon so I suspect AL will be hearing from them soon. Specifically @Bastila @Lorelai  and @LostInTheForest not sure about the others but I suspect at least Aly and Jes will be back as well but don't quote me on that.

Re: Main OOC Thread

Reply #3814 –
Yeah I'd be surprised if Aly and Jes stay missing for long, I know I've been busy over the holiday period too. Hopefully @LostInTheForest returns soon as I've enjoyed talking to her about how Zelosa and Vivian's therapy sessions are going to go.

LOSTINTHEFOREST & BASTILA MAKES A REAPPEARENCE

Luckily, @LostInTheForest and @Bastila just had a temporary lapse of activity and failed to communicate it. So, they return already, writing their characters Ejek and Ferik respectively. :)

Still no show from the others, but we'll see if they contact me.

Best,

ARE YOU A DEATH SCENE HUNTER?

Hi there!

@Fife just posted on the R&D board with the ongoing Memorial Wall project. Here's the link!

If you want Story Tokens and like to hunt down specific scenes in our long story, this might be something for you. :)

PLEASE WELCOME RYETANKER TO THE FOLD!

Wohoo! We have another Theurgist in our midst, and it's @RyeTanker ! He'll be writing XamotZark zh'Ptrell, our Combat Medic:

Lt. JG XamotZark zh’Ptrell    Combat Medic

  - Writer: RyeTanker

At the moment, Rye has not informed me whether or not he'll be doing any edits to the character page, but he's been reading up on Episode 05 since he registered, and now just have the few Aldea Prime threads to go before he's entirely caught up on Zark's story so far.

Welcome aboard, @RyeTanker ! See you on Discord, and don't forget to PM if you have any questions. :)

Best,

Auctor Lucan

Welcome on board @RyeTanker ! Hope you enjoy the site :) feel free to PM any of us or join discord if you need any help or want to make some brainstorming, i think we share a thread atm and we can help to put you on its track.

I take advantage of this to say i've some IRL things going that are eating more time than planned, so so a slow-ish peace could be expected. I'll take care of the more urgent threads ASAP in any case.

Cheers!

COME SEE FIENDFALL'S NEW CHARACTER: XELIA!

Fiendfall adds a fourth character to the fold, and this in manner of Xelia!

Xelia                        Hacker

  - Writer: Fiendfall

Oh, does she look familiar to you? Perhaps it's because Adisia's real name has been Xelia all along, and she is not even a part of the Orion Syndicate. In fact, Xelia - being a hacker - ran into some trouble with the Syndicate, and to make the spectacular character page rewrite of fiendfall's short, the character assumed the identity of the already assassinated Venator Adisia of the Orion Syndicate to get away. So, she's been on Aldea, acting as a Syndicate Venator, in order to hide from that very organisation she's supposed to be a part of. Right under their noses.

Thank you for this refreshing new angle of this character, @fiendfall , and I look forward to read her continued story! :)

Best,

Auctor Lucan
