World Restoration Committee Information & Discussion
This is a post for committee members to discuss any and all committee-related matters and projects.
The World Restoration Committee is a group dedicated to clearing the lower world of the decay of negativity and apathy, bridging Arehtei-related concerns to governments and the public, and improving Otherworlder-native relations. It was an idea raised by Daimonia during the aftermath of Elios’s imbalance wrecking havoc and agreed upon by the other Arehtei given the current situation. Arehtei representatives had come and gone, and were sorely missed by their respective Arehtei, and to alleviate this issue, Daimonia thought, "why not just sharethe fun everyone"?
With all the Arehtei’s approval on hand, this committee was formed. Due to the nature of the committee, it soon moved past the original proposal to include larger concerns about the world and how it could be helped.
The Committee holds bi-to-trimonthly meetings to touch base on different important matters, including but not limited to sharing information and discussing upcoming adventures. Note that these meetings are open to all, and not just members of the committee. Think of them as something like town hall meetings or open forums with committee members usually leading the discussions!
Any interested parties must have been residing in Empatheias for at least one month. Signing up is handwaved, although we do suggest that you track this post for potential discussions! There are no other set requirements for being a part of the committee, though we do ask that your character actively participates in the meetings or visibly attempts to organize restoration efforts if your character joins.
A member of the committee would be in a good position to organize and lead efforts in matters regarding the Arehtei and the lower world. As this is a government position, they will have easier access to funding, and with (hopefully) less red tape to weave through in terms of getting stuff done.

Selenium and Piphron
So last Selenium Obi-Wan had a talk with Piphron here about his people and how they celebrated Selenium. Obi-Wan thought it would be nice to incorporate some of the traditions that Piphron's people did into the next Selenium to honor the old crab and his people.
As a side event for the upcoming Selenium, Obi-Wan would like to propose something similar to what Piphron shared with him. He will bring it up ICly at the December meeting if there is one. I've asked the mods and they are okay with this happening! So I would like to see if anyone has any input on this idea? Obi-Wan will talk with the Theasthai Selenium organizers if this is approved by the committee.
Obviously it wouldn't be possible for them to make a trip up Piphron's mountain for this. But instead perhaps make a short trek outside the city where a bonfire can be made. Those participating bringing torches to add to the fire as they arrive and siting around it to remember those who had passed and the bonds they had with those people. And to show trust in each other to carry them through their grief by sharing their stories. To encourage each other and to exercise faith for the hope of happier days ahead.
That's the sort of thing that Obi-Wan would suggest, though if anyone has any other ideas feel free to mention them!
Please let me know what you guys think! Thanks!
Might help if I commented with the actual committee member's account, wouldn't it?

And Anakin has no objections, especially if no weird ghosts are involved like last Selenium.
Emergency Radio Research
So far the research has been going well and will do even better with the tower to examine. Still, with techmotion being so draining, the group will obviously be keeping an eye on the new tower's operations and efficiency before they move too far forward, and also probably still investigate non-techmotion power sources. This is mostly just to put those ideas on the table.
And that's more or less all the IC information the group will be bringing to the meeting this month. Any questions or offers to help would be great! Just keep in mind that we're going to be keeping this mostly handwaved until January due to holiday craziness.

The non-techmotion radio for emergencies sounds like a very good and practical idea! Obi-Wan approves! That definitely could be useful for surface expeditions so that teams are not cut off completely.
Sounds great!
Ritual Takeover, IC and OOC
SO, my IC and OOC question for the committee is a poll about whether or not rituals should be continued in Red and Reena's absence? If yes, who would be up to the task? Should we find out and use Reena's old format for entering them into the emotion tracker, or come up with a new one?
Obviously we don't need to decide this right away with the holidays picking up speed, but it's something to think about during January at least. Thank you guys, and happy holidays!

I definitely think the rituals should continue. And since Obi-Wan has a vested interest in them, seeing as the generators were supposed to be used in these, he would volunteer to keep them going.

Looked over September and October, and actually looks like the formula for the ritual points is pretty simple: 4 points for each ritual day attended by an unaligned character, and 5 points if the character was aligned. And if someone's total went over 10 Reena would split that person's points into multiple submissions.
Other than that, it's just a matter of saying "hey, there'll be rituals on such and such dates, have your character sign up" and then ICly the rituals are handwaved.

I had also PMed the mods asking about the rituals too. But that sounds good to me!
