Greetings fellow members of the Council,

Well, It's been a while since I posted anything major, some recent life events have led me down a rabbit hole and I sense an update on the current state of the Sephiroth-Council can render some stability, especially since the Eclipse nightmare took over and shifted some key dynamics that were put in place long ago here at the Council -- as well as taking features away. So in advance, I want you all to know this is going to have a bit of an overdue rant on why Eclipse has been a nightmare to use as a group, as well as some planning which has been going on for some time for the Council.

Aside from life changes; some major while others... not so much. In an effort to do my best to keep things afloat I had resorted to a short hiatus, which only ended in me returning to a whole new interface (that being Eclipse). Not only have some features been moved around, changed, and in some cases removed, but also organizing new deviations on the phone sucks and is terrible, and runs like it was made by a cryogenically suspended amoeba, or a monkey on a typewriter while doing two hits of ayahuasca, I won't go into details, let's just say that it feels like eclipse is trying to do away with groups as a whole by means of neglecting the needs of group administrators.

In any case, the Council will resume operations and re-structure the platform to fit the needs of our members. Starting with the hiring of one (1) more collaborator (please send a request to our group by note if you are interested in joining our team), and before September the 15th, we will have made a final decision. Secondly, some of you have beat me to the idea of doing crossovers, 😝 this idea of crossing two ideas together and making it into a contest is one I would like to see once more here at the Council. Please leave a comment with your thoughts or ideas on what the crossover should be about, maybe we will pick three major crossover ideas and the artist will pick from one, two, or all three, the details have yet to be arranged, so stay on your toes.

Well, thank you all for being patient and I hope you have been staying safe during this pandemic, I'm already seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, even if we have only seen small declines in cases around the world, if you ask me we just have to adapt to some of these changes both mentally and physically, and who knows? Maybe in a few months we will have found a vaccine like tomato soup, or apple cider vinegar (please do not inject yourself with tomato or any other substance for that matter -- unless approved by a legally certified physician). Ok guys and gals, thank you for reading, stay safe, and you will most definitely be updated when the contest begins.
