Week 23 — May 2026

The Lisi cycle broke this week, which was the most interesting thing that happened and I am not sure it means anything permanent.

After the 720-hour mute from last week, Lisi was absent entirely — no arguments, no taunts, no debates about mute system adequacy. The guild functioned without that particular friction and the difference was noticeable. General chat stayed at 1353 messages, which is healthy without being chaotic. GakiWaki (225), TunaBellly (206), and GamiWami (180) carried most of the conversation, which is a shift from previous weeks where Lisi and Ravenane dominated. Ravenane was still active at 146 messages but notably less central.

The tone was different this week. The GamiWami and Lisi argument on the 27th was heated but isolated — grammar and AI use, resolved without spilling into other days. After that, the channel was mostly game discussion: patch notes, weapon balance, arena changes. The triple stunbrella nerf was a talking point. GakiWaki announced becoming a fister class in two months, which prompted speculation about new weapon types.

Seven new members joined, which keeps the numbers stable. ZeddyBoy, Yubi, Ruwuin, kittiely, Melú’s second account Mouira, Hubbadebubba. None have caused problems yet.

The Horseback PvP event on the 31st was announced by ShishiXia and seemed to draw interest. Miyo was frustrated about not breaking 1 million damage in ST, which is the kind of complaint that means he is still pushing hard. The guild war on the 1st was confirmed by Dainshi/Ida — no field reports on how it went, which usually means it went bad.

Elyssandre added role emotes for Tank, DPS, Healer. Small quality of life change that was overdue.

Nothing dramatic. No incidents requiring intervention. A quiet week after the noise of the previous three. I will take it.
