I really like the Imperian community and am happy to have found this place.
I'm new to Imperian and don't know know anyone, but I have found people to be very friendly and open. I really appreciate everyone who has gone out of their way to check on me. The people in Celidon have been very welcoming, and even the Anti-Magic people I've had a few tiny run-ins with have also been very cool.
Also, the QUESTS and AREAS commands are awesome. It made it very easy to find something to do that was appropriate for my level and gave me leads on new areas to explore/mini-goals to set.
So thank you. I am looking forward to getting more involved!
I was woken up from a perfectly pleasant nap to a forced social encounter at a bar. (Always a bad deal)
...which turned out to be actually pretty awesome. I got a good (surprising, lately) whiskey sour at the bar, plus killer nachos. I re-met a chick I was best friends with in Kenai, Alaska when I was a tiny little kid. It turns out she has a ridiculous amount in common with me, is super cool, and now lives in the same area I do. Exchanged numbers and made plans.
Also, she's -really- cute. <.<
...and! I recorded my mother singing with her new band and discovered that my phone has a pretty decent sound recording capacity. I'm going to post one of her videos. The guest harmonica player was ridiculously good.
On this day, the 4th of Fas, in the year 68, Theophilus has ascended to the position of
Imperator of Stavenn of Stavenn.
2015/02/04 17:47:55 - Ellarynth favoured Theophilus for: Congratulations on your recent
appointment to Nobility. It has been a great pleasure working with you during your time in
the program.
Lord Theophilus Aevus, Imperator of Stavenn
Pretty nice. Never been past CR3 or even a minister/governor/cult leader or even a city aide, much less a city leader, since I started Imperian. I feel accomplished. Nobility might have been a cake walk in the past, but I promise I worked hard to get it even though many of you laugh at the idea of Stavennite nobility.
I heart @ellarynth for her patience and I heart many others for encouraging me along the way.
(Ring): Lartus says, "I heard Theophilus once threw a grenade and killed ten people." (Ring): Lartus says, "Then it exploded."
(Ring): Zsetsu says, "Everyone's playing checkers, but Theophilus is playing chess."
So basically what you're saying is that Stavenn's nobility is so elite that you have to become a city leader to get it?
I've been working on nobility for the past two months. You have to get a certain number of points in Combat, Leadership/Scholastic, and General.
So I donated 500 shards, wrote an essay on a former divine, wrote an essay on Stavennite history, reached top 100 PK... and the list goes on. I just so happened to complete nobility tasks a day before I became Imperator, and then my vote passed the day after I became Imperator.

I've seen it when org ranks are super exclusive. It, unsurprisingly, seems to encourage rank pulling. It sounds like you guys at least have a set program (rather than, it happens when it happens, please the right people, etc...), but I feel like it's actually best when there are a few actual leaders (designated by position held rather than rank, pretty much), and rank is mostly pretty easy to get. Hard for people to throw rank around when practically everyone is pretty high ranking (and that's good)!
Stavenn has had the Servitor program in place for years whose purpose was to make the acquisition of rank a really straight forward process. Do stuff, generally stuff that interests you, track it, and get favours. Nobility isn't really quite the same as city rank advancement. It's more cultural than that, but if you are doing what it takes to become a noble, you are probably getting favoured, because it's a fair amount of effort.
Mostly just proud of the whole advancement thingie, since I had a big ol' hand in it, and I am in strong agreement with Jules on something. Advancement should be accessible and enjoyable. Not tedious and dependent on who you knelt in front of.
Also. I love that winter is starting to vanish around here and I can officially get excited about having a yard in which to garden in. Bought seeds and bulbs and everything.
I think I "like" this, but I also feel like I barely know you and we've had exactly one very mild, respectful disagreement... (especially compared to some of the others that came up on that topic). Anyway, yay for clear, straightforward paths for org advancement!
Yay, just got the adrenaline rush from being attacked during a shardfall. Was fun fighting (or in some cases successfully fleeing..) Makes me more excited and motivated to get things properly set up and further advance my skills/abilities!
(Market): You say, "I am the only citizen of Stavenn around and it is the 22nd of Halitus, my birthday. Send the newly elected Imperator a gift out of pity! @Cordilia has done so-- a grinch mask. You should, too!"

It took awhile to find something fitting and masculine and respectful that an Imperator
