I want to talk about my opinion on the egg lives system cause I’ve seen a lot of people really upset by it and thought I’d just throw in my take.
Will start by saying I’m horribly biased because all my favourite eggs are dead. Anyways, pretty much everyone I see talk about this wants the egg lives system obliterated and I see where they are coming from but also I think this is a bad take. Egg deaths are apart of the storytelling of the server, most of the stakes would be gone without it. The eggs are npcs, they are a tool in the story and their purpose is to be protected, that would mean nothing if they could not die. Now this doesn't mean I think the egg life system is perfect there are definitely adjustments that could be made to improve it. I've seen a lot of people criticize the egg tasks/cookies and I think they are a fun thing that could maybe be used for something different (like the tickets instead of being for cookies could be to buy egg cosmetics) because it's a shitty way to see an egg lose a life. I also think it would be nice for creators if they had more of a say into what is and isn't a canon death for their kids (although this gets more complicated the more parents an egg has). I think a really good example for this is Juanaflippa (rip queen), I think Juanaflippa has died the most out of any egg (though only three were canon). Flippa's uncanon death was due to a plague of snakes that was unleashed upon her by god (I think Rubius was behind this?), then her canon deaths being: died of neglect, bed block broken, and finally she was slain by Mariana due to the sweeping edge glitch. Now most people when discussing Flippa's death focus on her sweeping edge death which is super tragic and it sucks that the glitch was discovered so late, but that's not what I wanna talk about, I want to discuss Flippa's most peculiar death, being the broken bed. Flippa is the only egg to lose a life in this way, but she is not the only egg this has happened to. Three eggs have had their beds broken by players, Chayanne, Leo, and Jaunaflippa and in all of these instances these were roleplayed as the eggs having been killed, so you may be asking "why was Flippa's death counted if the other two weren't?" And the answer is simple: the story. The other two dying didn’t benefit their parents story, but Charlie chose for that death to be real, he needed Juanaflippa to die for the story he was telling. If deaths worked more in this manor then roleplayers can still choose to tell these tragic stories and players who just want to hang out with their egg can. My other idea was a seasons method, where at the end of each season dead eggs would be revived, but I think I like the former better.
Okay thats my tangent congrats if you made it this far.
I’m usually an audio listener of dnd content but I’m so glad I decided to watch this stream, Cellbit’s physical comedy is so good.
He’s been miming holding this glass of water for like 30 minutes after his character was interrupted giving it to someone by a murder
Manoel Gomes, best character
Don't mess with morally grey characters
Keep thinking about the song “The view between villages” for q!slime, it’s so him, especially with the introduction of Sunny that I feel will just rekindle his grief over Juanaflippa’s death (based on comments he’s made outside of the server) I’d love to make an animatic for it one day but unfortunately I don’t got that dawg in me so probably won’t happen
Specifically referring to this passage at the end of the song:
Sorry to anyone who followed me for linocut art and then I exclusively started posting scribbles of gay trans fantasy characters with horns and tails.
I will linocut again, I’ve just been tired and uninspired. Drawing gay trans character art brings me joy at the moment so that’s what I’m doing, I should really just combine the mediums
hes literally gods favorite princess
