EVENT NEWS: STARTING CALENDAR!
With the lack of announcements I'm pretty sure that you thought I had forgotten about the event. However, this is not the case. Below are a list of dates of which you should be wary of when it comes to the event; these dates will let you know when it is good to post, when the event is starting, which type of character needs to get into position... It's basically going to tell you all you need to know about how the event is going to start.
It may seem slow at first but after a while you will see why we're doing things the way we are. We want quality. We want activity. Speed will give us neither of these things.
So, without further ado, the CALENDAR:
♥ 6th February 2015 - 7th February 2015: Villain Set Up
The official start of the event. We will be opening up the topics for posting. However, at first we would appreciate it if Heroes held off until the Villainshave arrived and settled in their desired or assigned locations. So, it may be a bit boring for Heroes having to watch the Villains get into position but we want to make sure that everyone is active and that everyone who wants to take part takes part. After this point, we will be no longer allowing anyone to register to the event.
Please do not post as a Hero unless given permission (in which case it will be announced that you have special permission to post in the Event Announcement Thread).
An Announcement will go out on these days [one per day] in order to get everyone's attention.
♥ 7th February 2015 - 8th February 2015: Hero Final Checks
This time period will overlap with the end of the Villain Set Up but shouldn't be too much of a problem! We will basically approve all profiles that need to be approved, let heroes free themselves up and then set up for the next stage. Basically, this is some extra time for Heroes to Finish what their doing, get people approved and then make sure everyone is ready before we Green Light those people into the event.
Announcements will be posted on Both Days!
♥ 8th February (Possibly Longer): Patch Freeze
All Patches will be "Frozen" when Mods deem it fit to do so until after the event. This is to keep guild story consistency and basically help out everyone who is around. Mods are going to be busy during running this event and it would take a lot off of their mind if there were not more Legacy Profiles being applied for.
An Announcement will be posted!
♥ After Patch Freeze: Beautiful Justice Pick-Ups! Estrogen Overload Abductions!
Mods will be in charge of posting to the current Legacies directly involved in the event [Beautiful Justice & Overload] in Character and transporting them to the Event Subforum/ Area. Once all Legacies are picked up, we shall begin allowing support Heroes after 24 hours.
♥ 24 Hours After Legacy Set Up: Support Heroes Green Light.
24 Hours after the LAST Legacy has posted: We will Green Light Support Heroes to begin making their way into the Event Area.
♥ Once Everyone is in Place: EVENT BEGINS!
Once everyone is ready and in place. The Event Begins! Mods will begin DMing straight away! So be quick and on your guard.
The 72 Hour Rule will also be shortened to the 48 Hour Rule during the Event. Please be aware of this as you may get left behind.
I will also be posting this in the Event Announcements Topic within the Event Subforum.

Red Skies at Night Has Been Our Delight!
Admittedly, mine and Achidanza's relationship did not start on the best of notes. However, after we resolved our issues and came to an agreement with how she could set up a shop in the Main Forum; I am pleased to say that I am very very glad that Achi decided to become a part of our Family here at AATW.
She has been slaving away at that Graphic Shop of her's for nothing more than tips. Today though, I want to say a HUGE "Thank You!" on behalf of the whole guild by giving Achidanza 3 billion gold. It may not be much by Gaia's ridiculous standards nowadays but I hope that you will accept it with my thanks and adoration.
You've put in some awesome work! Be proud!

Red Skies at Night Has Been Our Delight!
Upon seeing Roxas' act of kindness and appreciation, I have decided to extend my own appreciation to Achidanza. The work I see her doing is great, and honestly she could make a lot if she charged average Gaia price for her work. So, though my gift is still small in terms of Gaia average, I will be augmenting Roxas' initial gift by seven fold. That's an additional 21 Billion Gold going to Achidanza for a total of 24 Billion Gold.
Achidanza, thank you for your work! I love what I see and hope to be able to grab some work from ya in the future!

DAWN OF JUSTICE: OPEN! Villain Set-Up!
It's the 6th February and as promised: WE'RE OPENING UP DAWN OF BEAUTIFUL JUSTICE! For now it is only for Villains to go set themselves up but after tomorrow we can start moving forward.
To wet your appetite here's a small bit of lore for you! It's a news report being aired in America once the Daily Planet has got someone on the scene.
Daily Planet News The reporter looked gravely down the camera lens. Behind her, what was once the Eiffel Tower was now a mass of Violet Crystals and faint pink glows; for the first time in years, the Eiffel Tower's lights were not lighting up the Parisian sky. She took a deep breathe, waited for the green light to show that they were "On Air". Ready, she pounced on the auto-cue and began reading the report. "This is Vicky Vale reporting to you live from Paris, France. A few hours ago, the City of Love was rocked to its very core as a pink light placed itself atop the Eiffel Tower. Eyewitnesses say that the strange light set itself at the Tower's very top before the strange Pink Crystals behind me began to envelop the surrounding area." She stopped for a second to turn and look towards the strange structures formed by the brightly coloured gems protruding from the ground. "No one is quite sure as to why this has happened or whom it is that has caused the problem: But one thing is certain that here, in Paris, people want answers and we need these new "heroes" to respond to the crisis that has befallen this city." Vicky sighed to herself. A sad look in her eyes. "This is Vicky Vale, signing off with hope that this will soon be over. God Bless."

Last Day of Villain Set Up!
Hey there! It's the Last Day of Villain Set Up today on Dawn of Beautiful Justice. If you are a villain registered to take part in the event whether you are a boss or support: YOU MUST NOW MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE EVENT AREA!
Failure to do so will result in your disqualification in the event and should too many people be Disqualified; an end to the event. I know that this seems harsh but you have been given 48 hours to do what needed to be done and even though I have seen a fair few of you online I have seen no movement.
People's behaviour has repercussions and repercussion on other people. So please, move your villain to where it needs to be for the event so we can move on.
I will be posting this in a Guild Announcement as well as in the Event Announcement Topic!

CONFIGURATION UPDATE: TOP FLOOR'S TERRIBLE TRIO! Due to Azijin signing up to the event, we have had to make a few adjustments to the roster and change some of the ruling for Eiffel Tower Top Floor ~ Violet Spire. These are: ♥ Azijin has been added to the second floor to make sense of his pact with Morgana/ Morgaine. ♥ Sinestro has been moved to the Top Floor. ♥ The Post Deadline for the Top Floor has gone up from 70 to 90. Good luck out there!

Event Delays: People are making it hard to make this work...
The Event has been delayed because even with plenty of warning and reminder, people seem not to want to post themselves in the Event Area. Until ALL of the Villains are posted within the Tower where they need to be: THERE IS NO EVENT. You've had at least 4 Days to sort yourselves out and make sure that you were ready to just post one or two times to get yourselves to Paris. However, it looks like this time has not been taken advantage of by the majority of you.
A huge thank you to those who have posted (all four of you).
There are those whom have ample reason not to post: Lieutenant Jet, Some Witty Name and Sean Bito have all contacted me and asked. If you do need an extension, rather than being online and then just ducking the deadline hoping it would go away I would be a lot more grateful if you could shoot me a message to let me know.
Okay, rant over. Enjoy your days peoples.

Event NEWS: Sorry & Patch Freeze!
Sorry I haven't been on! I've been... well, busy with stuff. Work, Samurai Warriors 4, Sleeping, Eating and just, well, life in general have got on top of me and have been jumping up and down on me.
I also have two story drafts for two other guilds I'm in as well as characters. When did I become so popular, eh?
Ahem, well even though my misadventures have put us slightly behind on the Event Calendar I think it's okay to say that we'll be rectifying that today. So, without further ado:
THE PATCHES ARE NOW FROZEN TILL AFTER DAWN OF BEAUTIFUL JUSTICE!
Remember, this is to keep the guild storyline consistent. The only exception to this rule will be the currently contested VIXEN LEGACY whom, even though is too late for the event may be able to contribute to the guild forums whilst the event is on to generate activity. The two applicants will be quoted below.
There will be another announcement later! Keep it here folks!

Event NEWS: LEGACY GREEN LIGHT! GO GO GO! As well as Post Brief
Alrighty then, it seems as though it's finally time to Green Light our Beautiful Justice and Estrogen Overload Legacies! So, after this has been posted up and sent as a Guild Announcement feel free to post!
However, please also take the time to read the small brief below. It's not much but it is somewhat important. This brief is telling you how people are getting to the tower; hinting at the sort of scenarios you want to be starting with in your entry posts. But I do look forward to seeing what you guys come up with and I hope you have a lot of fun!
Dawn of Beautiful Justice Opening Brief You.
You are a Legacy.
You don't know it yet. You don't even know who's Legacy you are. But you are one. There's no "ands", "ifs" or "buts". You are a Legacy, you are going to inherit the powers and mantle of a Superhero. You are going to be in charge of saving the Earth from all manner of things and meet all manner of interesting people. Why though? Why you?
You're just a woman. A girl. You're a Mother picking her kids up from school; you're a socialite going to have a coffee with their girlfriends down at Starbucks; you're sat at a desk revising for the final exam tomorrow that you'll probably pass but you're mind is telling you that you won't. You could be/are/maybe a great deal many things, but as that Violet Light rains down from the sky and envelopes you; as you feel the love and affection of the entire Universe caress its way through your veins... You only know one thing: You are ready. You are finally ready.
The feeling will dissipate though. You will fear your stomach lurch as you are pulled halfway across the world. It's like a bungee cord is wrapped around your heart and launching you from one place to another. You open your eyes to see yourself in Paris, the Eiffel Tower (or at least what's left of it) is a dead give away but it's still hard to tell what's even going on.
The scene before you looks like a park. People used to be here. You can see them trapped in Pink Crystals. You can feel the fear they felt when they ran away from the encroaching spikes. You're not alone. The lot of you look up towards the tower, a Giant Crystal Spire painting the sky pink. This is it.
You will rise.
Climb out from the mud.
Reach for the impossible.
You will not fail.
It is time to make your own Beautiful Legacy.

Event News: Sorry, I dropped the ball. Supports, get in there!
Sorry for the delay guys, it seems to me that... well, I keep dropping the ball when its coming to things at the moment and I have a lot of things on my mind. At the moment, there are a lot of frustrations and anxieties in my life that just seem to be worming their way through me and stopping me doing what I want to do. I'm trying to spend some time with my girlfriend in order to try and purge those feelings and insecurities but it'll be a long time before I know whether or not it is working.
That being said though: I ain't giving up!
We've come too far together to quit now! So, let's get to it. Maybe it's the fact not much is happening, I'm not being creative enough, who knows. As such... Let's do this! Let's make something happen! We need to get this working again and I say "we" because this event is as much yours as it is mine. This could be real fun. This could work. So let's make it so!
Support Heroes are now clear for take-off! Get yourselves to Paris any and which way you want. Ian shall be there shortly. But until then, he's having a rest trying to recover from being so busy! Hopefully, with the injection of some confident legacies and supporting cast we can begin to make the even somewhat more fun!

Skype Chat: Last Chance
When we made the Skype Chat for AATW; both the Public and Moderator ones, we had a clear and distinct vision for their use. We'd use the public one for plotting and planning and for an AMA like function towards the Mod Team; all the while, the Mods would discuss things in the Mod Chat to improve the guild. It worked like that for a little while...
Then you guys took hold of it and made it something different. You made it something less rigid, more welcoming and all in all a good space (mostly). However, recent and past events have begun to make me doubt the legitimacy of the Skype Chat and whether or not we really need one for the guild: Especially with all the problems it seems to cause between different members. If the Skype Chat is just going to cause problems then it will be disbanded and we will no longer have one for All Along the Watchtower. We will also not endorse or support any that are made by people after the chat is disbanded. So, if there are any problems in "your" AATW Skype Chat you will not be able to come crying to the mods with your issues and problems. You made the chat. You know it will not be supported by us. You deal with it.
Now, onto the apparent problem now that the general stuff has been dealt with.
I understand that there are not many people who see eye-to-eye on everything. However, All Along the Watchtower has always been quite liberal and understanding and a fun place to be. So, yes, some people talked about butt play a little too much and a joke got out of hand. However, I am more disappointed in the behaviour of the individuals whom took it upon themselves to be intolerant and ignorant and down right ridiculous.
You're on the internet. Inappropriate stuff happens. As long as you are not being bullied or victimized then all should be well. You should not be taking offense to something that is in jest and certainly shouldn't be saying it makes you feel uncomfortable to talk about Homosexual relationships. Just because you think it was Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve does not make your bigotry okay. Could you imagine how a gay person might feel after you all decided to show your true colours? Yeah, some people were taking the piss but when you're genuinely being like "I don't like it" or "It makes me feel uncomfortable" what do you think hurts more? Two guys exaggerating but being comfortable about it or the people who apparently want nothing to do with it and something that is a part of you?
I know what I'd choose. And deep down I hope you all know what's the right answer too.
So, if anything like this happens again: THE SKYPE CHAT IS GONE. PERIOD. NO ANDS, IFS or BUTS. If you wish to discuss it further with me. I will be opening a debate forum to discuss the issue as and when I can.
Thank you for your time.
