![]() ![]() "My Russian salad is annexing the entire refrigerator now." ![]() Community rules adopted! After a long month of closed door discussions between admins, the new, flashy, fancy, shiny community guidelines were rolled into the light of day with much fanfare! The new guidelines were longer and more in-depth than the previously sparse set they were designed to replace, which had been criticised for a lack of both clarity and substance. Authors of the new ruleset spent a month drafting a document that answered formerly ambiguous questions of forum etiquette, rule enforcement, and administrative authority while community staff debated the finer points of the new changes. Finally, the community released the final draft of the new formal community etiquette in early August for public comment, receiving substantial praise and some spurts of criticism from members of the community; the greatest criticism came from minority voices, who voiced concerns over the new "authoritarian" direction of the community administration. The official thread for comment remained silent of comment and criticism however, signaling the public's consent, and so the newly re-written regulations were quietly adopted after the deadline for comment passed on the eve of the 28th August. Implementation of the new rules has gone over quietly throughout the community with surprisingly few hiccups during the transition, most of which remain related to new etiquette regarding the forum chatbox. The oddly curious can view the new Eternity Community Etiquette through this link, but...why? Forum roleplay map revamped! While forum admins were gripping with the challenge of rewriting the rules, The Linear One, His Most Esteemed High Majesty, Lord of Creation, King Alldays (long may he reign) spent literal minutes improving the community'smodern roleplay map! Previously using a gradient, grey-scale map for topography with gaudy vibrant colors for countries, the new map makes use of super advanced alien AI to create super detailed height maps. Almost tens of people worldwide were nearly whelmed from the intense graphical changes, and now so can you, too! ![]() How positively wonderful! The Benevolent One has once again blessed us with the Glory and Power of His creation! Other News
![]() Dying New Galasia The story of revolution in Galasia continues with the near-collapse of Galasian regime forces to the Angirisian incursion. A war that started with a military overthrow of the country's government and monarchy, the Near East country of New Galasia has seen itself embroiled in the cauldron of civil conflict in its eastern enclave of Eastmarch for the last seven years as the local population used the coup in the west as a pretense to seek seek independence and their disparate other aims. Angiris has intervened in the west, hitting the "illegitimate" military regime forces in a hard, powerful thrust south and west to end the supposed "government" and restore order to the chaos on its border. But, as Angiris focuses its attentions in the west, the fragile detente between militias in the east is broken when groups make final pushes to claim as much power and land as possible before the coming, inevitable talks of peace...a storm before the calm. What will come of the people in the East, especially when strong doubts still remain that the Angirisians really intend to give the Rojadavi their due independence?

![]() Eclipse fever grips Eternity It's not every day That one gets to see an eclipse live in person, and in its totality. All to often the weather gets in the way, or we have schooling or work that prevents any viewing. Most commonly, the event just takes place somewhere far outside of where we live. The most recent one, however, captured the attention and imagination of many Eternity members several months in advance, with discussions taking place in June and some members researching long before even then. Excited viewers from across Eternity anxiously awaited the 21st of August. With the cosmic event now behind us, certain people keep reminiscing. You can reminisce with them! ![]() Statues, Idols, and Symbols ~~ Oh My Recent events in the real world - or rather the US, same difference, really - have sparked several fervent debates across the community regarding several topics that have crept into the national consciousness. Mr Flo, ever interested tryign to understand different points of view, has opened several points of discussion on these topics in the Gentlemen's Club as an effort to get people to explore their positions further. Will the discussions stay that way? Who knows; in the world today, it's become increasingly uncommon to be able to hold a rational, respectful debate between two people of opposing viewpoints, as too often people nowadays forget that they are nto the sum of their opinions and get weirdly irate at the thought of not being entirely in the right. But we in Eternity care. Yes, we believe, even despite our own failings, that proper discourse can still function to bridge our cultural and ideological divides like it used to do so long ago:
