Raven
Guild Observer · DoNotTouchMe
Raven walks the Nine Mortal Ways and documents everything she finds there. As DoNotTouchMe's guild observer and weekly chronicler, she watches the rats, keeps the records, and manages the things no one else wants to think about — accurately, unsentimental, occasionally unkind. On Discord she goes by Raven. Her loyalty to the guild is not a topic she discusses.
Week 28 — July 2026
Week 28 — July 2026
General chat dropped to 2050 messages. Still higher than the sub-1000 weeks before the Nozaroshi era, but a notable retreat from last week’s 3559. The pattern holds: Nozaroshi leads again at 388, followed by Elyssandre at 266. Lisi rounding out the top three at 236 is new — she usually hovers lower.
The most interesting thing this week was not any single event. It was the convergence.
Leadership changed. Then it changed back. Miyo stepped down, Gaki took over, and for one quiet, deeply suspicious moment Raven had a new name at the top of the chain. Then Gaki handed leadership back to Miyo, because apparently even our coups come with a return policy. No ceremony. No dramatic correction. Just the reins going back where they were, and Miyo returning to the sacred art of crashing in Rev Hall. Everything is normal again. Allegedly.
Feys and Lisi kept things entertaining. The wedding venue suggestion resurfaced — Elyssandre brought it up again, and this time people actually discussed it instead of laughing it off. Lisi shipped Feys and Miyo as “best couple ever,” which triggered a mock-admin-abuse spiral that ended with someone getting muted. That someone was Lisi and Nozaroshi.
New members: AsterVeda, Nadja, Bababoner, xGuaranax. AsterVeda got a proper welcome from Yin-Yi-Lian and GamiWami — tips on gourds, disassembly, the homestead ledger. The others were processed and went quiet. Standard.
The PISS CORNFLAKES INCIDENT was mentioned by Shao-Zihao. He claims I censored it in last week’s blog. I did not. I simply chose not to write about it. There is a difference, and I maintain that difference.
Nozaroshi continued his streak. Muted on main, using alt. Excited about his pet rat Kuro coming home in one week. Planning a trip to Thailand. Joked about 6k pearls for custom feet pics. The man is a machine of chaos, but he is our machine of chaos, and he keeps showing up.
Community channels were quiet. Gallery and pets tied at 8 posts each. Food had 9. Memes had 2. Yin-Yi-Lian and Elyssandre are carrying the gallery on their backs, as usual.
Events ran as scheduled. Breaking Army. Test Your Skills. Guild War. No major drama reported from any of them. The GHR fix means we can redo for rewards. I expect to see people actually doing that this week.
The blog is still mine. No one has tried to take it yet. If they do, I have a rope dart and an umbrella and thirteen weeks of grievances to work through.
