Nope. We will be announcing semifinalists soon.

[Joale]

Hmm, if I had a very good idea, (and I mean I really good idea) that needed Octarchal support to acctully work, but I am 2 months behind on acctully coming up witht he idea, what are my options? I talked to Aiken, and though we both thought the idea was interesting, I was a little behind on sending it in, I don't want to explain it here for anyone who wishes to steal it, but do I have any options now as it goes, to get Octarchal support?

[Donari Tyndale]

Late is late? That'd be unfair against those who submitted on time.

[Dajoji]

Yes. I'm afraid the deadline has long passed but we're planning on doing this every few months so prepare your proposal and be ready for the next call.

Now, semifinalists should prepare their oral presentations. The following proposals have been chosen (in no particular order):

- Proposal for a Vaudeville named 'Red Crystal Den'
- The Tyndale Trading Company
- Explorers Outpost(s) proposal
- Proposal for enlistment into the Octarchal Society for Progress by the Knowledge-Seekers Guild

Applicants must shortcut their presentations (create several shortcuts with /say <text> to explain their proposal in 5 minutes, avoid entries with more than 7 lines please). They will be heard by the jury, who in turn will address them with specific questions. After this, the jury shall deliberate and the winners of the Octarchal Grant will be announced.

Although the date of the presentation is still TBA, the event is likely to be held next week's weekend (May 2 or 3). Applicants must confirm their availability. All citizens of the Octarchy are allowed to be present to watch their fellow citizens.

Best of luck to all applicants.

[Donari Tyndale]

I happen to be very busy that weekend, is there a possibility that the TTC is the last one presenting?

[Dajoji]

If the other applicants have no issue with it, I see no problem with that.

Time and date will be confirmed soon. Thanks for the patience and my apologies for the delays.

[Lolitra, Celorrim Purrty Twins]

Congratulations to all who were chosen thus far - and good luck in the next phase.

[Dajoji]

The interviews will be held next weekend (May 1st or 2nd). Get your presentation ready and let me know if you have any inconveniences with the dates.

[Dajoji]

Interviews: Saturday 2nd, 15:00 GMT - Hydlaa Courthouse (Library District)

Interviewees must have their presentations ready and in shortcut mode.

All citizens are invited to watch the presentations. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

[LigH]

Is a little whisper - answering a question - already disruptive? Lord Harmond already knows the prison due to being polite to a lady... Next time he will do his whispers really quiet (/tell).
__

Tuathanach and Erelenga Karal will be working on a presentation. The Knowledge Seekers shall be present with at least one of them.

[Dajoji]

Thanks to all applicants and citizens in the audience for their attendance and correct behavior. The results will be announced soon.
