    I would be more apologetic about that if it wasn't a persona you yourself curated.

    Release day was apparently 3 weeks ago.
    Or maybe you meant July, not June.

  • Draft of my article. :) When you put the Orendi together, I'll upload the graphics to our webspace and change the image links. I do that so that way we won't have to worry about the images disappearing in the future.

    Wintreath Celebrates 100,000 Posts!

    The wind and the snow has not kept us idle on the forums!

    When we first started the Wintreath forums, I imagined many possibilities, including the one where the region never went anywhere. The one where just a few years later we would celebrate 100k posts seemed pretty far out, but with the support of the community over the years, that's where we ended up this month! Actually, we celebrated it twice: first when Aragonn made the 100,000th post counting deleted posts (which was post ID 100,000), and then later in the month when Matilda Love made the 100,000th post not counting deleted posts (which brought the post count on the forum front page to 100,000). Either way, this accomplishment is a testament to the constant activity the forums have enjoyed over the years.


    It's not surprising that many of the top topics are general discussion and spam game topics; however several cutural and roleplay topics have also stood the test of time to earn a place in the top topics list, including the Werewolf VI game topic, the From the Ashes roleplay Out of Character discussion, and the Frostbite Tavern casual roleplay.

    This accomplishment comes as I've placed an emphasis on making the forums simpler and easier to understand and navigate, particularly on mobile devices. It also comes a month before the region's annual Summersend Festival, which last year alone generated over a thousand posts. Along with the continued support of the Wintreath community, these developments will help the forums remain busy far into the future!

  • I'll write the next installment of my culture review.

    @Ashton Mercer , would you be ok with being interviewed about your new RP?

    If so:
    Does anybody want to interview Ashton? Both the interviewer and Ashton would get credit for the article, so it's really easy to do. Here's the interview I did with Justinian if anyone needs ideas for questions. If not, I can just do it, or Ashton can just write something himself if he doesn't want to share the credit. :P If anyone wants it, I'll give 24 hours the chance to post here before I take it and start writing up an interview -- or unless Ashton doesn't want to be interviewed.

    Do we have a thread containing the basic Orendi formatting or should I just rip it from your quoting on Orendi XI and replace the old article content?

  • The Culture Review

    This is the second installment of the Culture Review, written by me, Gerrick, Wintreath’s Jarl of Culture. I’ll be talking briefly about some events going on in the cultural areas of the forums, such as Ministry news, monthly contests, and forum games.

    Wintreath’s Finest is the name for Wintreath’s citizen of the month. Nominations are for those who stood out as contributing or showing dedication to the region or having been extra active, caused activity, or been a good influence on others. The winner of June 2017’s Wintreath’s Finest was BraveSirRobin, who was nominated for his efforts to starting up more roleplays in the region. He has taken the helm at revitalizing Wintreath’s most popular character RP, the Star Trek-influenced Wintreath Space Expeditions, by starting up talks for The Next Generation, which already has applications up and running. On top of Space Expeditions, BraveSirRobin has also taken the lead in trying to start up a new nation roleplay that will take place in a post-WW2/Cold War era alternate universe. BraveSirRobin was technically the only nominee, but as Jarl of Culture, I made no other nominations as I thought his win was well-deserved.

    The Avatar Theme of the Month is the theme that several forum users will adopt into their avatars for the month, whether that means using pictures or memes that have to do with the theme or Photoshopping the theme into their usual avatars. Nominations are typically related to current world affairs, historical dates, holidays, or happenings in Wintreath. The winner of July 2017’s Avatar Theme of the Month was a tie between ‘MURICA and Canada 150 as both the USA and Canada have their national day in July. With the large number of Canadians and Canada-sympathizers in Wintreath, it was no surprise that it ended in a tie, and the rivalry between the two countries ensured that there would be no other nominations to spoil the contest for one side or the other. One proud Canadian-Wintrean, Crushita, even went so far as to turn his national anthem into a case why one should vote for Canada:

    Oh Canada!
    The World Does Not Hate Us!
    Adi-ition-ly,
    We don't have Donald Trump!
    Tous les érables poussent là où les França-a-is sont
    Nous devons les apaiser, nous aider s'il vous plaît
    Spud keep our land
    Glorious and free!
    Oh Canada!
    We-e vote for thee!
    Oh Canada
    We-e vote for thee!

    The Monarch’s Game Bag is a list of over 150 spare Steam keys that Wintermoot and other citizens have donated to the region over the years. It now serves as a reward for those citizens who perform necessary civil service duties for the region, such as recruiting and writing articles for the Orendi, as well as those who go above and beyond to be elected to win Wintreath’s Finest. This month, games were given out to two such citizens: Justinian Ezkantion chose Dragon Age: Origins for winning Wintreath’s Finest of May 2017 and writing two articles for the Orendi, and Gattoartico chose Purgatory for also writing two articles. We hope more citizens continue to follow their example and help out Wintreath to earn more free games!
