One of the reasons I love Mat and Rand's relationship is because Mat's the person in a Monty Python sketch saying, "Strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government!!" while Rand is the one taking the sword from the Lady reverently and with grave purpose.

THE WHEEL OF TIME | 3.06 “The Shadow in the Night”

[dez-wade]

Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.

THE WHEEL OF TIME 3.03 | Seeds of Shadow

A detailed explanation of what Arkanis' crowdfunding project is and how you can help more than you think.

Greetings non-portuguese speakers. Today I came to explain in depth about Arkanis' crowdfunding happening right now in Catarse. But before we start, I want to talk a bit about Arkanis' project as whole.

Arkanis is a Minecraft RP server, a SMP, which many of you must be familiar with already. Even if you don't know Arkanis, you probably know similar ones. The server was created by Pac (who a good amount of people met through QSMP) and friends (Tayr, Stefano, Himaru etc) with the goal to make something never seen in Brazilian Minecraft before. The project has over 15 people behind it to help make it happen. Actors, modders, programmers, builders, writers, and a whole lot more.

If you check Arkanis' YouTube channel you can clearly see the high value production that it has. The server also has multiple NPCs, including voiced ones!

(The green Ghost, Denix, is played by admin 07, who is very known for playing Richarlyson back in QSMP)

My main point of bringing up the server's production team is to tell that, for such amazing work, they're all, of course, paid. They're all paid above the minimum Brazilian wage, though its precise number wasn't disclosed. And if we just made a simple calculation, using the minimum wage as an example, despite knowing it's above that, just by paying their employees alone (excluding expenses like paying for the server etc) it's around 22k BRL per month.

Thanks to a Twitch sponsorship, the first season could run smoothly. But sadly, it got dropped. Which means without sponsorship, the budget gets tight and that's where the crowdfunding goes in.

Catarse is a popular Brazilian site made to help fund different projects. From games, books, webseries, podcasts etc. For those familiar with Cellbit, his game Enigma do Medo (Enigma of Fear), was funded through the very same site!

But what makes it better, is that you're just not just giving away your money (you can do that too, if you want to of course). It's that depending on the quantity you give, you will get some goodies!

If you click on this link you'll get a PDF with all the rewards and tiers translated to English. There it'll explain what tiers can get you t-shirts, plushies, or even becoming a character in the server for the duration of one event.

But why should you care? Well, if you're outside Latin America, there's a good chance your money is worth a lot more than you think. To make it easy for you to understand, the 500k BRL maximum goal that will greenlight the second season is only 85k USD. It means that just a tiny amount of money you donate will probably translate to A LOT and you will also get some nice rewards!

The current campaign is to reach 500k by April 19th. It's an "All or Nothing" campaign, which means, if that goal isn't met by the timeframe you WILL get your money back. That means, you shouldn't be afraid that you will donate in vain.

EXTRA GOALS

Yesterday (02/26) the official account announced two extra goals and rewards. If we reach 100k by today (GOAL ALREADY MET) if you're a Tier 3 or above, you will get an extra reward of getting a tour on the Arkanis server + meeting the actors including the little ghosties! If you're tier 5 or above, you can also participate in a mini game session with the CCs! To become a tier 5 you only need to donate 17 USD.

The second goal is to reach 150k by 03/05 and the rewards include that if you're tier 7 or above you get VIP access to extra events like: Arkanis' Oscar, Bailão do Meiaum V2, and Auau's birthday party!

Despite needing 500k to reach the basic goal, if we reach further than that, we can also get 10 non-portuguese speakers CCs on the server. But for that, we need to reach 1.3 million BRL that translates to 222k USD. The reason for such a high goal is because the translation tool is quite expensive, and it's also in dollars. For something that will be running daily non-stop for 6 months straight, the cost will build up fast!

I'm convinced, how do I help?

By clicking HERE you can help. And by clicking HERE you'll get instructions in English if you're totally lost.

Thank you for taking the time to read until here. And even if you can't donate, you can help by reblogging this post :)

Update: due to us being very close to the goal and around 2k BRL in donations being "stuck" in processing, they delayed the time limit and we now have until tomorrow! Which means you have ample time to donate and get a tour + a mini games session by very cheap. Don't lose this opportunity!

Hello everyone, I wouldn't be coming here if it wasn't important. And it's on a tight schedule so bear with me.

If you live in America or anywhere in Europe it's guaranteed your money is worth a lot more than you think it's in Brazil. But why is that relevant?

Some of you might have heard of Arkanis, a Minecraft server made by Pac and friends. And must have heard of it's "crowdfunding" project if you watched A Passagem, a competitive event. Well, today's goal is that until the end of Tuesday here in Brazil (meaning two hours from now when this post is made). And the goal is to arrive at 100k donations.

The reward of reaching that goal today is people who donate at level 3, will all be able to tour the Arkanis server and meet the actors (people who enjoy QSMP, Richas' admin is one of the actors!). Those who donate level 5 will be able to play minigames with the streamers! (Like our beloved Pac)

We're currently off by 6K BRL which is just around 1K USD. And if you donate, you're eligible for the tour + minigames and other extra rewards!

If you donate at level 3 (50BRL but less than 9USD) you get: the tour (if we reach the 100k goal in the time frame) + 4 wallpapers and a webcomic about Arkanis!

If you donate at level 5 (100BRL but less than 18USD) you get all the above + a minigame session with the CCs + a poster + a sketchbook!

And yes, they ship internationally.

Here are the instructions to donate in catarse and here's the link for the Arkanis page.

Any amount will help! Also, reminder that if we reach the last goal (1.3million BRL but only around 200k USD) the server will add CCs outside Brazil/Portugal. But the time limit for this one is until March 19th.

Thank you for your time.

"All suffering will be rewarded" was Nicklink's motto since the beginning of the series after he was shunned by the others.

There sure was suffering but no rewards until the end 😭

I need season two RIGHT NOW
