<p>Just popping in to ask how all our guildmasters are doing! How&#8217;s life? Anything interesting going on? The guilds seem to be dying lol. Which is totally understandable if y&#8217;all&#8217;s lives are even half as busy as mine right now XD</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve launched a cool new feature on the forum called groups.</p>
<p>You can find them in the nav bar like so:</p>

<p>Groups are hubs for writers to gather around something they share in common. They include a Facebook-like feed and most of them also include their own forums.</p>
<p>So far there are three types of groups:<br />

To be honest, it was kind of a lot for me when we were doing guild wars every month, and it would be even more work to be doing them individually. I think if we do them less often, there&#8217;ll be more participation.&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-70882"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/70882/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

I know there&#8217;s a word war going on, which I&#8217;ll try my best to contribute to 😛 (dunno who to tag, so&#8230; <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/jane-maree/' rel="nofollow ugc">@jane-maree</a> <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/j-a-penrose/' rel="nofollow ugc">@j-a-penrose</a> )</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve got hit the hay right now, but I can take a closer look at it in the morning and maybe make some suggestions if <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/j-a-penrose/' rel="nofollow ugc">@j-a-penrose</a> hasn&#8217;t submitted it yet. (:</p>

<p>Hey guys! Sorry this is so last minute; I completely forgot about the guild war. &#x1f627;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I know you guys have already gotten started planning and that we have like… only 2 days left, but I just wanted to throw this story idea out there just in case it might work.

<p>Like the Amazon burning. *shoots face-melting glare at the billionaires who aren&#8217;t helping*</p>
<p>Ahem.</p>
<p>I like Steward&#8217;s idea. Like A is protecting cows (or whatever) because they&#8217;re sacred to their god/idol/whatever, and B understands that, but also knows that both A and B are&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-64000"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/64000/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/elisha-starquill/' rel="nofollow ugc">@elisha-starquill</a> Welcome back! Looks like you have some great ideas going!</p>
<p>I&#8217;d say erring on the side of simple would probably be better at this point, with our deadline looming up. So maybe no magic?</p>
<p>Maybe, to combine Elisha&#8217;s and Anne&#8217;s ideas, we could have a world that is suffering from&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-63991"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/63991/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>I really like <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/steward-of-the-pen/' rel="nofollow ugc">@steward-of-the-pen</a>&#8216;s thought of worldbuilding (totally not because that happens to be one of my few strengths xD) and <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/j-a-penrose/' rel="nofollow ugc">@j-a-penrose</a>&#8216;s idea of a good sort of collision.

<p>Aw, you&#8217;re fine, I understand! You&#8217;ll definitely be in my prayers. Remember to cast all your worries on Him, because He cares for you. 😉</p>
<p>Hope everything smooths out soon!!</p>
