Whilst normally I fall heavily on the side of 'find out in game', I want to give a rave to those players who have taken the risk and joined Czixi's order. Today the first of you reached one of the three major milestones within it (congratulations, @Yarith!) and this has left me thinking a lot about the order as a whole.
It is not a secret that Czixi's order is something of an experimental one. I didn't want to give the game another "one order, three paths, lots of set tasks" order. Don't get me wrong - this structure works really well, and suits many of us perfectly. Try and imagine @Isune or @Lisaera's orders in ways other than they are - it just doesn't work. But I wanted to do something different this time. So Czixi's order doesn't have paths. It doesn't have tasks. You decide what it is for you.
The success this lack of structure has had thus far is entirely down to the players involved. To your willingness to throw yourselves in headfirst and embrace the open-ended nature of it. I have absolutely loved seeing what Names you have chosen, how deeply you have thought through everything, and how excited you have been. That many of you have used it as an engine for permanent character development is the icing on the cake.
Thank you for making something that was a very big risk into something that continues to return so much reward.
@Czixi One of the biggest reasons I feel bad about mostly disappearing again is not being able to continue Phoebus' story as a part of your order. Czixi is a very unique god and the opportunity to advance in her order feels like an actual part of my character's story because it's more than just completing a checklist to go up a rank. I really appreciate that you took the risk to have a nontraditional structure, because the payoff is great from the player's side, too!
@Czixi I really do appreciate the interactions with you as a player and, while I admit that at first the open direction of the order was a little to surmount, once I got around to exploring the possibilities of order progression I found it was a refreshing way to renew the roleplay of my character and interest in developing Yarith as a member of Lusternia. You're really a gem!

o You can now use any of the basic ANSI colours (1-15) with a stamp. New syntax is STAMP <item> WITH <stamp> [IN <colour>] - If using the colour syntax, it uses palette charges instead of redink. - You can use the numbers (1-15 in COLOURS) or the names for those colours (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white, gray, bright/light* of any of those e.g. light red, bright blue) >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<
This is extremely cool! For my part, I will probably stay with the classic red color for my stamp, but I'm happy that this change opens up possibilities for people to make their stamps more colorful and varied if they so choose.
I just want to rave for EVERYONE in Serenwilde. You guys are amazing, and I know there's been ups and downs over the last while, but you guys have pulled through and we're on to something good. Keep up what you're doing, ask questions, poke at things -- it's you who makes the difference.
I also want to rave for everyone who turned up to the mini-festival today, for the Flame of Glinshari, I was more than surprised with how many joined, and it made me super happy to see you stick around, too! @Kerith, @Tristanna, @Sondayga, @Enyalida, @Torgaddon, @Elarin, @Eadeol, @Ejderha, @Eleniel, @Valaria, @Everiine, - I'm sorry if I missed anyone off my list! The little quiz was completely made up on the spot, since we didn't have enough for games, so thanks for bearing with me and taking part!
That specifically says "email". EMail != In-game messages. So no, not the same thing. This config will leave you a message any time it would have done so if you were offline.

Really enjoyed your sermon on Taint. More of this, please!

EDIT: But I guess that still gives me one more option than I had previously!
EDIT: I think I'm due for an updated stamp anyhow. Thanks @Ianir! You are rad.

Thank you all for those who helped me, most notably @slunk who tirelessly worked to help me through it my second time.
Just thought that this would be neat the other day!
