TL;DR : I started and co-animated the first Atreus part (the interesting one, april to august 2013).
Everything started early 2013 (around march), during a discussion with another player (who actually was part of the event team, but i had no idea at the time). We wondered how much we could force the atys lore with a player event ; after some hesitation, we decided to make believe that Dexton was back : neither him nor me nor anyone was able to swallow his death, it was interesting and we would have the adhesion of other players. We decided on a character close to the trytonnist, with a voluntary blurred background.
We create the event character (on free account, so the Atreus used by the event team is actually named Aatreus since Atreus is already taken ;P), trained them a little (for Atreus, he needed a little more than 200 health), geared them, and you know what happened next (if not, Eeri & Mermaidia did a fabulous thread about that). We did a lot of smalls events, without the event team knowing and it went pretty well :-P I've decided to bring Geyos in the fyros politics because / thanks to Atreus (Icus couldn't be completely devoted to Atreus, it was way better to use Glorf in this regard), and having 2 differents character in this allowed me more liberty for the event, even if i didn't separated enough their different beliefs imo.
After a while, i've started feeling zhoi under bamboo (a play on words on the expression "anguille sous roche", which seems to be translated as "to smell a rat" in english, if someone could confirm i don't want this to be offensive) and finally discovered the nice player was an evil event team :-P It was around june, iirc. The dance kept on, still without the knowing of the event team (Tamarea wasn't aware at all, there might have been some individual members who knew it, i don't know). We never took a 100% sure stance about Atreus (whether it was Dexton or an usurper), even if the encounter with Lykos in the cavern didn't left much room to interpretation. End of july / start of august, we had a break (i went in holidays, and most of the people weren't here), and it was more or less the end of Atreus.
There was a big big break period, partly because the team finally heard of the project (and, obviously, didn't knew what do to) and it created internal issues. I had no idea about what was happening at the moment, and i didn't felt like tooking the character and doing an event (and i couldn't rename anyone and had no access to Epus/Thulam/Decalion ...) by myself. So when Icus decided to leave to find Atreus, it was to shake the anthill (that i helped to build). After that, i had basically no influence, except when i announced that treus/Dexton probably had Dyros rot (don't remember the english name, the special affliction Dexton had, around 2550 & The tear of the Emperor sequence pre-merge) ; after that, the only information i had were the public ones.
Some will probably ask why i've created this thread ; multiple reasons :
* I'm not found of the secret atmosphere, i find it a big ridiculous.
* It was one of the few nice events (i'm obviously not objective about that :P) and who changed a lot of things (i think that everyone can agree on that) since the merge, some explications doesn't hurt :)
* Out of respect for everyone who took part in it
Kisses everyone (except those i don't like)
