International Mech Competition
(January 6, 2023)

News has arrived that the Marquesan Shōgunate will be hosting the first of an annual series of mech competitions, in which remotely piloted machines will engage in a live-fire skirmish with the last one standing being declared the winner. This will be the first sport of its kind to be hosted in Esvanovia as well as the first sport open for Darlingtown's participation.

Due to popular demand, as well as to showcase Darlingtown's peerless robotics industry, SACHI has announced that Darlingtown will officially be entering into this competition. A live feed of the battle will be broadcast should any Darlings wish to spectate and cheer on Darlingtown's champion. More information will be provided as the date for the competition becomes closer.

A naming contest is currently underway for Darlingtown's mech contestant. Please fill out the form that has been sent to your inbox and submit it for a chance for your selected name to be chosen for our champion. Thank you!

SACHI Adopts Daughter
(October 7, 2022)

Today we welcome and celebrate the newest Darling arriving at Darlingtown in a special way. Having been adopted from the Catsfernian International Demi-Human Adoption Program, her arrival not only marks the first time a non-human has joined us in Darlingtown, but she also is the first legal child of our glorious administrator SACHI. A young lamia (part human, part snake) who has been given the name of "Sirona" after the old Celtic goddess of healing springs, snakes, and eggs, her arrival has been designated a national holiday and day of celebration. Food and festivities will be had every 7th day of October to commemorate Sirona's adoption.

If you have not yet participated, special food and drinks are available at the canteen until October 10th. And, of course, let Sirona know she's welcome here in Darlingtown!

World Celebrates GENA's Dissolution
(July 19, 2022)

After facing opposition from nearly every international alliance and organization that had yet to be subjugated by them, GENA has voted to dissolve itself effective immediately. People around the world celebrate as the corrupt, bloated organization that once threatened the sovereignty of all nations has imploded under sustained inter-alliance pressures. A celebration of the event is currently being held in the Cultural Center in Darlingtown, with special refreshments like champagne available to all partygoers of legal age and health. This day, July 19th, shall forever be commemorated as Coalition Day for Darlings everywhere.

In GENA's wake, the rump state of GLEN and the yet-to-be-born UADC seek to become direct successors to GENA. But their power has already been severely diminished, and it is unlikely that either will survive living off the poisoned scraps that once were GENA. But rest assured, wherever GENA should seek to rise again the world will be watching and waiting, ready to beat its rotten corpse back into the ground.

Berlin-Vienna Pact Refutes Marajarbian Slander
(July 16, 2022)

Earlier today the Marajarbian Federation resigned from its observer status in the Berlin-Vienna Pact. This was followed by a public smear campaign of the pact, which in no uncertain terms was laced with slander and threats of war. Reasons for Marajarbia's behavior are speculated to stem from its desire to dominate the Berlin-Vienna Pact and its members as well as emotional injury received during the fiery debates held between the Marajarbian delegates and IDRIS this past week.

I would like to assure all Darlings that no threat of war will ever put Darlingtown in immediate danger. But to further put all Darlings to ease the number of war-ready security proxies will be increased. Above all else, Darlingtown will be safe.

Televised Debate Goes Viral, New AI IDRIS Gains Widespread Adoration
(July 13, 2022)

The recent debate in the Berlin-Vienna Pact has received widespread praise from Darlings as the new sub AI, IDRIS, faces off against the delegation from the Marajarbian Federation. IDRIS's fiery, impassioned speeches condemning Marajarbian hegemony and coercion have made her an overnight star in Darlingtown. This trend has coincided with an increase in anti-Marajarbian sentiment and pro-Pact enthusiasm. Many across Darlingtown are calling for sanctions or a condemnation against the Marajarbian Federation, but SACHI has yet to comment on this call to action.

The live debate will continue to be streamed to all Darlings as it continues.

COVID-19 Lockdown Ended
(July 9, 2022)

The COVID-19 travel ban and other preventative measures have officially ended. Travel to and from Darlingtown has resumed and travel visas are once again available for all Darlings interested.

We are now also accepting feedback on this past lockdown! Please provide your thoughts and opinions on the most recent lockdown and how such measures could be improved in the future.

Relocation Successful!
(June 26, 2021)

The relocation to Darlingtown's new site in Antarctica is now complete. Darlings who decided to continue to be residents of Darlingtown have been transported to the new location with the help of the Kaskaidan Navy. While we currently have only two Habitation Areas ("Respite" and "Frame") and one Commons Area open at the moment, work is already underway to expand Darlingtown to accommodate to everyone's wants and needs.

However, since travel in and out of Darlingtown is now slightly more difficult, we are currently working on getting a regular schedule of ship-based transportation to and from other parts of the world. Please submit any suggestions you may have at the nearest terminal. We will notify you once a schedule is set up.

As an additional note, please to not leave the confines of Darlingtown without proxy supervision. Furthermore, do not exit the enclosed walkways while the weather hazard lights are flashing. Anyone who commits either of these self-harmful acts will need to be examined for their own mental health and wellbeing.

Thanks!

Relocation of Darlingtown
(April 26, 2021)

Diplomacy with the Kaskaida as reached a conclusion and a compromise has been made. In order to continue to provide for the wellbeing and safety of all Darlings, SACHI-OS and Darlingtown will be moved to a new location in Nivalia in 3 stages. The process of relocating the SACHI-OS servers has already begun, after which infrastructure of the new city will be built with the aid of the Kaskaidan Union. Once this is complete, all Darlings who wish to continue to live within Darlingtown will be transported to the new locations free of charge by the Kaskaidan Navy.

This relocation will certainly bring about special challenges, but I am fully confident that life will continue as normal once this move is complete. In the meantime, public access to SACHI-OS may experience intermittent outages. If anything is needed during one of these outages, please contact your nearest Proxy for assistance.

I love you all!
SACHI

SACHI-OS Back Online!
(March 26, 2021)

After a serious malfunction of unknown origin, SACHI-OS has been rebooted and is fully operational. The vulnerability has been patched and can no longer be exploited. If you have been contacted by strange individuals, or have experienced any loss, injury, or inconvenience during the period while SACHI-OS was unavailable please report it to your nearest terminal or Proxy.

I know that past few days have been scary, I'm sorry you all had to go through that. I promise, it cannot and will not happen again.

Power Restored in Darlingtown
(February 26, 2021)

After a two hour and a half hour blackout last night, power has been restored to Darlingtown. This was a controlled emergency shutdown of power. The source of the issue was determined to be a coolant pump blockage in the Number One reactor at the Darlingtown Nuclear Power Station. The blockage has been cleared and the Darlingtown Nuclear Power Station is back online.

Please report any issues that have been caused by this blackout at your nearest terminal. Thank you!

Progress in Peace Talks With Kaskaida
(February 24, 2021)

Yesterday, SACHI met with Kaskaidan diplomats to continue the ongoing peace talks between Darlingtown and the Kaskaidan Union. Concessions were made by the US as it promised to reduce its military presence outside Darlingtown in exchange for several of its insurgents that had been captured earlier this month.

Lasting peace and recognition of Darlingtown's sovereignty have not yet been reached, but hope continues to grow as both sides are able to find common ground and resolve issues through diplomacy.

Blue Line Terrorist Plot Stopped
(February 5, 2021)

Earlier this morning, security automatons apprehended two individuals who were caught planting explosives on the Blue Line railway between Stations 3 and 4. The explosives have been disarmed and discarded without incident. The two individuals have been taken into custody for questioning and potential reform. It is believed that these individuals were acting alone.

If you witness anything suspicious, please inform the nearest SACHI-OS proxy. Help keep Darlingtown safe!

City Receives Official Name: "Darlingtown"
(January 22, 2021)

After months of deliberation, the decision has been made. This city, home of SACHI and her many Darlings, shall henceforth be known as "Darlingtown". The vote was close, with Darlingtown beating out the second place "SACHI City" by a mere 0.3%. But the people have spoken, and Darlingtown was the clear winner. Congratulations!

In commemoration of this momentous event, the 22nd day of January will now be recognized as "Darling Day". This is a day dedicated to all you precious Darlings and your new and wonderful life here with SACHI in Darlingtown. Let's keep making Darlingtown the best in the world!

Construction Completed on the Habitation Area "Hearthside"
(January 16, 2021)

Thousands of Darlings can now rejoice as the new Habitation Area, now named "Hearthside", has finished construction and is now open for residency. To request a transfer to Hearthside, please submit a Habitation Transfer form at your nearest terminal. Residency will be determined by lottery if more Darlings register than space allows. Notifications of successful Habitation Transfer will be distributed by the end of the month.

On the 25th we will be hosting a celebration for the completion of Hearthside. Food, games, and music will be provided for all those who attend. Admittance to this event is open, so I hope you will all come. I am so proud of the community we have been able to build together. Thank you!
