What is an Arehtei Committee?

The Arehtei Committee is a group dedicated to bridging Arehtei-related concerns to all parties concerned, may it be the government or the public in general. 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. Basically, representatives have come and gone as of late and are sorely missed by their respective Arehtei (yes, this includes Sosyne), and to alleviate this issue of a kind, Daimonia thought, "why not just share the fun everyone"?

And with all the Arehtei’s approval on hand, this committee was formed.

What kind of activities do they partake in?

The Arehtei Committee holds bimonthly meetings to touch base on different Arehtei-related 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!

What are the requirements for joining up?

Any interested parties must have been residing in Empatheias for at least one month. Afterwards, all they have to do is fill-out the form and comment to the subthread under the monthly mod post and meet the bimonthly AC requirement. Sign-ups will be on a bimonthly basis and will only be open during months where there is a committee meeting going on. The AC check will be during the following month.

Due to the plot-relevant nature of this position, each player is limited to one character in the committee. This may be adjusted in the future.

What does my character have to do in order to remain in the committee?

There will be bimonthly AC checks, which can be fulfilled by doing one of the following:

• Linking threads (maximum of two) that total at least five comments in the Arehtei Committee meeting log
• Linking a thread outside the log which discusses or implements committee-related activities (to be judged on a case-to-case basis). Needs to have at least five comments.

Threads used for committee AC can still be used to meet the monthly AC requirement. This means when submitting proofs for AC, you can submit a thread from the mingling log and then any other thread or entry made elsewhere in-game for proof.

Why is there an AC check?

The checks are there to ensure and promote activity, as the intention of this group is to encourage proactive players or those interested in moving the plot along to coordinate and help each other out in terms of accomplishing goals related to that.

What makes a member of the committee different from someone who is a non-member but participates in meetings?

A member of the committee would be in a good position to organize and lead efforts pertaining to the Arehtei. As this is a government position, they will have easier access to funding, as with (hopefully) less red tape to weave through in terms of getting stuff done.

Comments

[gottacatch]

Okay, so I don't know if these go here or in the new committee post? Since this is more "hey mods" than "hey committee", as a few of these have already been addressed in the meetings (except for the very first) and more what I'd like to let you guys know about!

- Cleaning up Philea, the capital city in Elios's domain; (burying or whatever Elios wants done to the bodies, checking out the city itself)

The ice has cleaned up in the area, but I'm not sure what this means for the city itself and in particular, the actual bodies in the location that had been frozen to the walls. This is one that would have been brought up to Elios first, since, you know, would be good to know how he might like his old people to be treated and if he's ready to deal with that.

Considering what can be found in the city itself, it would be useful to take a return trip sometime and to not leave it forgotten.

- Planting crystal flowers in domains associated with the Arehtei to better have a read on their emotions;

This would just be something to do on the side, possibly with any restoration attempts in different parts of the world that has been discussed by another (who I will leave that to bring up). This is honestly something that can just be done alongside that, and only really going to add to a "hey so now we kinda have a better idea of what the Arehtei are receiving each month", as nothing like that ICly exists.

The seeds of the crystal flowers are available, it's just a case of planting them.

- Reviving/saving old plants

This was a project being worked on by Komaeda Nagito, and was apparently a desire of Peromei's long ago. This may be achieved in time with work done in her lands and more exploration there, but bringing it up so it's not forgotten!

- And for other topics brought up previous was investigation into the books found during the last game excursion that were sealed, and any progress that may be made on them or not, as well as the compass put together during the Lavieti excursion. How the mods want to approach either of these is up to them--I've already shot you guys a message before about the compass, but that's up to you when you want to address that again. At this point I'm bringing them up so they're aware of them and that they were made committee topics!
