So, in an attempt to get around the aforementioned problem, the Leadership Council has rebuilt the application for Dark Embers from the ground up, in hopes that this will help stop the weird blank application filing that's sporadically been happening.
The test applications we did went through just fine, with all kinds of crazy browser addons enabled, and the maximum amount of Lorem Ipsum that the fields would allow, so we're really hoping that it's all fixed.
In other news, our first story arc, "It's Probably Primals" is moving towards dealing with Leviathan, and has reached out to include another free company as the Embers attempt to become seaworthy. Our second story arc, "Outbreak", has followed a strange series of Voidsent activity through La Noscea, and into the Shroud with a very intense role play session that took the company through something akin to Hauke Manour Hard Mode, where they battled Voidsent that seemed to be at war with one another; now they are investigating the devastation and aftermath to determine what exactly happened. A third story arc, "Ties That Bind", has bits and pieces starting to roll out, now that the final Coil has been released, and the storytelling staff has unfortunately had to spoil themselves to finish writing the arc (though the company will not be spoiled on the official storyline until after they've completed the Final Coil raids).
Our raids oddly line up with our RPs right now. The Vanguard, a static raid group that pushes to get through the content so they can help take the rest of the free company through it once they've figured out the strategies and mastered them, are working on Leviathan Extreme and the first part of Second Coil while helping the rest of the free company with prior raids on the days that the various members are available; unfortunately, not everyone is available on the same night to raid, so we've worked out what we feel is the best solution to help them see all of the content.
If you have any questions about the free company, feel free to post them here, send a PM to me on this site, or hit up our website and send questions to the leadership there!
