[indigo bane]

I KNEW IT

[tawdry gull]

Alright bud, i bet you believe in hexagonal earth

Big sun is lying to us?

[indigo bane]

lol they're still using imperial units or what ?

[boreal sedge]

I believe in not being a hater, like you

Imperial units are trash, I'll give you that

metric just makes more sense overall

[tawdry gull]

chillax, were talking about people moving the sun lol

[indigo bane]

ye also °F what is that

degree Frankenstein

[tawdry gull]

no comment in fear of being ridiculed

[wide pine]

woke american mob... cant even joke about units of measurement any more !!

[deep field]

The "MyMomLetMeNameBuilds" or whatever branch is gone lmfao

[latent mulch]

17k messages hype

[hollow pasture]

Good

[old flint]

Damn y’all are still going

[wide pine]

absolutely demolished these wings.... i'm full

[white marten]

The American way is dumb for a lot of things

[indigo bane]

I can't eat that cheese anymore

[vivid apex]

Gotta kill you

[tawdry gull]

but... i, what..

[white marten]

'demonlished' - proceeds to take a single bite of each

[indigo bane]

Oh wanna switch @wide pine

[old flint]

Fr there’s so much meat left 🤣

[silk thorn]

Your literally a monster

[wide pine]

i'm so fulllll thooo 😩

[pulsar tinsel]

wth we will get to 20k messages

i only got to 100 sum hours 😂

[tawdry gull]

ive had it a while to be fair

[pulsar tinsel]

same but i just don’t play that much

i watch a lot though

[tawdry gull]

i feel like i dont but idk

i dont play singleplayer

[pulsar tinsel]

i’m opposite

[tawdry gull]

i think its because when i find a server i like ill sink like 100 hours in

[pulsar tinsel]

singleplayer unless playing w someone so 1-2 people usually

[silk thorn]

Its so lonely without multiplayer

[tawdry gull]

fr

[silk thorn]

I need a buddy

[tawdry gull]

but thats why i think B42 will make singleplayer much more playable for me

animals

To be fair in multiplayer i hide from people anyway, something about knowing there are other people makes me more willing to play

[pulsar tinsel]

weirdly enough it just got stale for me to play bc i’m EXTREMELY picky with games. Since i realized there isn’t much creativity with crafting/cooking i was a bit dissapointed but it’s only bc im just so picky

so the reveal of b42 was everything i ever wanted

i just love survival games esp when starting from scratch

[tawdry gull]

alot of the games i got alot of hours in you can be creative, and one of the ways zomboid does that for me is how you can place things anywhere and make my trash covered house look real

like this

[pulsar tinsel]

yep the unrestricted building was one of the things that got me hooked bc it falls into my requirements

[tawdry gull]

this was a multiplayer with hundreds of people that i only met like a handful of people in lol

[pulsar tinsel]

b42 only makes it better

[tawdry gull]

yeah

[pulsar tinsel]

i’ve always been the type in a multiplayer setting to be the chef, builder, hunter, etc instead of being in the main action

also the reason i despise singleplayer story games

[wide pine]

I'm the group chef

Beer stew every night

[pulsar tinsel]

yessir

[tawdry gull]

i do like myself some cooking

ill do a bunch of looting early game as soon as i have a fridge so i can have beef and all the perishables that cant be made in B41

i had more food than i could ever use, but it was some good stuff

[old flint]

Surprised the steamdb crowd aren’t still going

[wide pine]

me in the safehouse kitchen fr https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ABGaFcvm9o4

[pulsar tinsel]

honestly healthier to live off your bodyfat than what i be cooking up sometimes

[pallid onyx]

The prophecy

[wide pine]

Rat (uncooked) burrito

[orchid eagle]

42k

[wide pine]

all time peak for zomboid is 65k, i think it will go higher

[midnight latch]

this looks amazing, best safehouse that i saw in a while

[wide pine]

helldivers 2 has been pretty low for a while but they just had a big update with like 160k people jumping back on

[tawdry gull]

thank you, that was after like 90 hours of gameplay

maybe not that much, but alot

tryna find some outside photos

[midnight latch]

looks cozy was is in the woods somewhere?

[tawdry gull]

Yeah, cabin near mulduragh

[midnight latch]

gotta remember that for the first playthrough on build 42

[tawdry gull]

Super chill vibes

[eager wyvern]

Your total hours in Project Zomboid is enough to raise my kid from a embryo to a 2nd grade student.

[tawdry gull]

ive been there a few times now on long runs, so im probably going to base in the new part of the map

gonna try find a cabin there

[tawdry gull]

your math aint mathing?

[limber idol]

I wonder how many people will try to turn the abandoned asylum or abandoned orphanage into a base

[tawdry gull]

i personally prefer small bases, like the cabin i sent

[midnight latch]

i love having a base in the woods in some cabin is so cozy and also with the new animals its gonna be soo nice

[limber idol]

Mildly stressful hermitage

[tawdry gull]

its gonna be so much better with hunting and animals

gives you a reason to explore the forest that isnt finding shrooms

[eager wyvern]

No, I didn't say towards 1 person.

I said to everyone here in this thread.

All of your total hours combined

[fossil ivy]

the update is coming 2025

[tawdry gull]

oooh lol

[tawdry gull]

lol

[limber idol]

Light work, no reaction

But speaking of animals, I assume we'll be able to make cheese in this update because they're adding cows. So now I'm imagining some guy when multiplayer gets reintroduced where he makes a living off of selling pizza.

[quiet imp]

easily will go higher when mp is readded

[limber idol]

Pizza for supplies lmao

[orchid eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/okay-ok-ok-ok-oh-ok-oh-okay-gif-18238573721271168162

[tawdry gull]

Anyone know if safehouses have had any updated?

[limber idol]

Like multiplayer safehouses or the randomly generated loot boxes?

[fossil ivy]

this is clever, the thing you did here

[pallid onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/chill-guy-chill-guy-just-a-chill-guy-relax-gif-1579445140409713118

[short ember]

we know for sure safehouses will have the chance to spawn some of the new weapons and armor + the manuals required to create them

[tawdry gull]

i mean player ones but thats cool too

[limber idol]

As far as we know, player safehouses are unchanged

[short ember]

yee

[limber idol]

I don't remember seeing anything about them in this update

[tawdry gull]

cool

I just had an amazing idea

i want to try use alot of the update in my first run

so i think my plan might be unless i find somewhere really cool

i build my own ranch

get to use the new building system, animals

and in the new part of the map

[limber idol]

Sounds nice

[tawdry gull]

im curious though

im only gonna do it if you can make roof looking roofs

not that flat ceiling rubbish

[indigo bane]

i will spawn in muldraugh

[tawdry gull]

that looks what kept me from building my own place in the past

[finite turtle]

will we get a new spawn in b42 i wonder

[hollow pasture]

I hope so, cause I'd love more freshness

[tawdry gull]

its possible i think

[finite turtle]

i think bradenburg would be likely

[limber idol]

Thing about Brandenburg though is that there's some kind of semi-built military presence.

[pallid onyx]

What about B42 tomorrow, is it possible

[wide pine]

I would expect spawn mods to come very early into b42

[indigo bane]

i can't stay, i'm getting excited when i'm here

[hollow pasture]

I might just do a 64 level fall if possible

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[indigo bane]

I mean

[tawdry gull]

that too is possible

[finite turtle]

and i think the town was run down by a tornado or something

[tawdry gull]

could still be today aswell

[hollow pasture]

Didn't they say not today tho?

[wide pine]

build 42 releasing in 3 minutes 34 seconds

[limber idol]

I don't know about that part, but I know for a fact in both the online map and in the basement distribution tease you can see a military presence

[indigo bane]

My dad once said "if they are working hard, it's not ready"

[tawdry gull]

im trying to avoid outside information, want the purest experience

[wide pine]

||If you go to the town in the current b41, it certainly looks like a tornado has gone through||

So it might not be the military for the sake of Knox, but rather, emergency services to help with evacuation/rebuilding/etc. But I don't know how that will mesh into the whole power lines being down storyline either

[limber idol]

I just thought it was some kind of bad spot, flooding or something.

[gaunt phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-checking-time-waiting-gif-11570520

[limber idol]

[indigo bane]

8 hours before the question to pat

Also I watching I robot

[quiet imp]

wrong mindset

8 hours until pat says YES

[white marten]

What if they release it before we get to ask Pat

OR WHAT IF WE ASK

And he refuses toanswer?

[obtuse cipher]

It comes out tomorrow 😈 😈 😈

[finite turtle]

it is wednesday

[stable bison]

No this is Patrick.

[pallid onyx]

This is

wait should i scrub my cpu untill its silver? mines got that weird shiny brown gunk on it

[bitter obsidian]

Yeah yeah yeah it'll be smoother with more contact area for the motherboard, 20% speed increase

[tawdry gull]

you dont see gold satellite dishes, same colour makes it easier for the internet to find me

[tawdry gull]

lets not start with this, please

[desert relic]

I honestly think that the chances of it coming out the 17th or 18th are pretty high considering that it will get them some extra attention on the game before the steam sale and give enough time for minor bug fixes before people leave for the weekend

[visual vine]

20:38 Gang

[desert relic]

Steam sale starts on the 19th at 10:00 PST

[boreal sedge]

I hope they put zomboid on sale, release the update, and sell the absolute hell out of the game

Zomboid is growinhg but it's still underrated AF

[quiet imp]

pretty sure they always put pz on sale in december

[desert relic]

It would make sense to release the update a day or two before the sale so that the release doesn’t get overshadowed

[umbral nymph]

release tomorrow, I personally guarantee it

[finite turtle]

its wednesday i swear

[umbral nymph]

Baph playing right now, the audacity

[finite turtle]

this is the only time baph's actually played zomboid

[dusty vine]

Guys, maybe b42 launchs day 19

thursdoid of a launch?

maaaaybe...

[short ember]

it would make sense to release it a week or so before christmas if they're able so if theres any giant game breaking bugs they somehow missed, they can patch them before the holidays

[stable bison]

The prophecies have foretold that it will be tomorrow, in roughly 27-33 hours.

[minor jay]

17k messages. we're close to reaching critical mass

[bright python]

we need more messages

[stable bison]

We could start burning heretics again. That made a lot of messages.

[frank igloo]

Tomorrow will be a big day for us don’t worry @stable bison

There will be fire.

[stable bison]

Yeah, it's late in the day, I'm not feeling up to much heretic burning right now.

[bright python]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-burn-wargame-fantasy-burning-gif-16670316

[tawny quarry]

Will we reach 20k messages before b42?

[normal kettle]

40K by b43

[quiet imp]

its roughly been 1.5-2k messages a day, so if its not released until late in the week or next week its possible

[normal kettle]

Does build 42 even exist? Is it merrily a figment of my imagination? Am I going crazy?

[umbral nymph]

Baph is literally playing 42 right now

[late jackal]

I'm curious about everyone's opinion on something. If you had the option to donate/tip money to TIS, would you? And if you could, how much would you give (answer seriously)? And I don't mean crowdfunding subscriptions, just one-time tips on top of your PZ purchase.

[stable bison]

No. I don't pay more for a game after already buying it.

If they made a DLC or something, sure, I'd probably buy it. Not sure what that would be, though.

[gaunt phoenix]

Depends if they genuinely needed the extra money

B41 helped them alot, maybe in the future if theres another huge development time

[supple geode]

I don’t tip for digital products. PZ already has a crazy slow development cycle and if the game started running low on capital I’m sure they could find funds elsewhere

[late jackal]

Like a new Spiffo Plush

[orchid eagle]

id rather send them friendship bracelets or draw them something out of a crayon that i ate

[open vessel]

No. I would encourage others to buy and play the game

[fiery pine]

Buy someone the game and have them experience the peak of project zomboid, only to shatter all of their expectations and hope when i tell them the game has a long development cycle

[white marten]

Some members of the community do this already - they buy and gift copies of the game to others for giveaways or to let pirates have a legit copy.

[pallid onyx]

Lmao

[tawny quarry]

In 2 hours the pat cooldown will have finished and you can ask him if it's coming out the 17th

[quiet imp]

pat lore goes crazy

[stable bison]

He is the Great Deceiver, sent to test our Faith in the Build.

[finite turtle]

ITS OUT

I lied, behind my clenched teeth..

[pallid onyx]

I like it

[supple geode]

That or VC but they seem to be doing fine regardless. Either way I think the sentiment of players regarding devs as doing “charity” work is sort of a dangerous road.

For profit games should be transactional both ways and players shouldn’t have the notion that “tipping” is improving a product their enjoy

[woeful sparrow]

I already donated by buying the damn game

[fiery pine]

Nah we need the 100 different cosmetics and lootboxes plus a battle pass

And each update is sold as dlc

[eager wyvern]

Whoa, I just now realized there are more TIS in Discord than in this thread, just because they never participated in #1019996461095735456 at all.

Discord hides active users if those users never join the channels.

Just now realized this.

[high copper]

no pat though........ which means there's still time for b42 to drop in the next 24 hours 🎊🎊🎊🎊 GET READY GUYS

[obtuse wasp]

only users activelly participating in a thread are displayed at all

so they might have been in one earlier, just not this one

[woeful sparrow]

Pat is probably snoozing rn

[obtuse wasp]

which considering the strangeness going on yesterday... i can see why

[hollow pasture]

Today fo sho

[woeful sparrow]

He probably got the victorian pajama cone on and everything

[high copper]

fucking lamp and shit

[woeful sparrow]

Lmao

[eager wyvern]

There is a rule here, every mentionn of Build 42, it gets delayed by 1 minute.

if that's true................... we arent getting b42 until 3678

[obtuse wasp]

its the christmas bonus

[eager wyvern]

Dammit Bobby, you just delayed it until after Christmas Eve.

[hollow pasture]

My bad my finger slipped

[fiery pine]

We scared away all TIS devs from this channel

[hollow pasture]

Not Filcher apparently since he gave us exclusive lore drops

[fiery pine]

Still waiting on the cheese update from Pat

[pallid onyx]

Cheese

[obtuse wasp]

also, offline users aren't display at all for large servers

[vagrant matrix]

whats filcher's username

[obtuse wasp]

so they are still in the thread, just not online

[vagrant matrix]

thank yu

[old needle]

I'm calling my guess right now

[hollow pasture]

Also random note but we only need 7454 more messages to double hallodoid ⚠️ ⚠️

[old needle]

Its this Saturday

[hollow pasture]

Eh maybe, more realistically thursday or friday tho since they likely dont work on weekends

[fiery pine]

Ye I'm thinking Thursday or Friday as well

[hollow pasture]

Well they didn't specify which december it was releasing

[fiery pine]

at worst next Monday

Its fine I got The Illuminate squid buts to kick in the meantime

[stable bison]

This sounds like treason, last I heard the Helldivers successfully wiped out the Illuminate for the glory of Super Earth and Freedom

[still wing]

🥹

[old needle]

That would be awesome

[fiery pine]

Unfortunately, our enemy has returned to threaten democracy, freedom and our way of life

[stable bison]

There seems to be some consensus on Tuesday or Wednesday, because if they take the weekend off before Christmas too, there'll be no time for an emergency patch if they drop it on Thursday or Friday.

[gleaming ivy]

Go sleep guys

[stable bison]

By Freedom, no!

I'm gonna play splitscreen with my girl

[pallid onyx]

I'm gonna play splitscreen with

well, let me have a rule and a saw and a board and I'll cut it

[teal summit]

even build41, before mp, i remember bumping into my friends in local coop lol

[teal summit]

like fisicaly bumping and triping onto an horde

[still wing]

until b42 drops, DS1 split controller will have to suffice

[obtuse cipher]

pls dont add the new moodles 🙏

[stable bison]

I don't get the hate on the new moodles, I like them.

[teal summit]

bruh, 1000% there will be mods not long after the update release bringing back the old sprites

[obtuse cipher]

oh nvm true

[teal summit]

same

the old pixalated style, in the moodles for example, doesn't fit the vibe of current zomboid

[stable bison]

I think the new ones are a bit clearer.

[native bronze]

[tawny quarry]

[teal summit]

same as these, there could at least update it to remove the grainy pixalated images, giving more high res

originaly, the game was full sprites, with the same fell and look, it was right back than, now with the new moodles, there is no need for these still have these sprintes

unless they will be soon working to remake the inventory system (is currently just a window with a list)

but maybe i am an outcast that actually enjoy good changes, even if that means leaving the less in depth and simpler system behind

lmao, sorry for the hot takes

[slow yarrow]

[pallid onyx]

Exactly

[fiery pine]

What pop will people be playing on? Or will you all be on standard apocalypse setting when b42 comes out

[pastel lava]

probably Apoc with bite only

[orchid eagle]

prolly just standard but have saliva only cause im a baby who always dies

[pastel lava]

respawns off

[fiery pine]

Yeah I'll probably be playing with increased pop and respawns off but with bites only cause dying to a 25%/7% chance is sad

[frank igloo]

sandbox just for the extra rare loots because otherwise i feel the game is way too easy

[slow yarrow]

I will be standard apoc or survival

[wide jungle]

last playthrough was 8x pop with me using short blade, the only weapon that spawns often enough with extremely rare loot

that was a lot of stabbing

[fiery pine]

I've died way too many times to lacerations

[slow yarrow]

it may be pain

this path

it will punish you for any mistake

but, it's how I run

[fiery pine]

Gl, I wanted to do CDDA at some point but at the same time I can't imagine playing with respawns on

especially in areas like Muldraugh road, and west point

[frank igloo]

respawn on is very not that bad

[slow yarrow]

I play with respawn on

[gleaming ivy]

They deleted

[fiery pine]

I know its just tedious

[gleaming ivy]

🥲 Good moments

[fiery pine]

That's why I tweak the zombie migration/rallying settings as well as increase the pop

[pastel lava]

deleted? is this good or bad?

[gleaming ivy]

not good and not bad

[frank igloo]

doesn’t mean anything it was a troll

[gleaming ivy]

it's normal 👍 🙂

[frank igloo]

guys be ready make sure to free your day because today is B42 DAY!!! Whether the devs wants to or not !!

[robust shell]

Tuesday,,.

[pastel lava]

I can literally feel the energy coming from the dev's in anticipation to appease us today

[fiery pine]

or troll us :D

[wide jungle]

when Pat wakes up, he turns to his side, types "no" and returns to sleep

[stable bison]

The gods will favor us, as long as we remain pure in our belief and tolerate no heathens or heretics in this chat.

[umbral nymph]

Today is the day

Do we know what the name of the new towns are which are being added?

[normal kettle]

They will probably announce it in either a blog post or add them as a spawn location is my guess

If not we can probably find maps of there locations

[frank igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/blues-brothers-dance-gif-12884114128063534476

[stable bison]

I want to say one of them is called Brandenburg?

[umbral nymph]

just head west lol

[fiery pine]

Yeah in the dev blog there'll be three new towns apparently which is uh

a lot to explore lol

[candid sparrow]

where did you find this...

[robust shell]

including these expanded cells

[orchid rover]

what about these cells?

[robust shell]

they're not in the base game afaik

[stable bison]

I believe that those new eastern cells are hte procedural wilderness.

[orchid rover]

they are, because you can travel to the fort at the top

[obtuse wasp]

there's a system for endless™️ generation once you get over the hand created cells

[orchid rover]

this place exists

[robust shell]

oh yes they are, tho the forest do look different th

they blend instead of the harsh line

[obtuse wasp]

as far as i remember someone that worked on minecrafts world generation and NPCs helped there

[candid sparrow]

yee

[obtuse wasp]

so i wouldnt be surprised if that was their handy work

[fiery pine]

Maybe its the randomised wilderness?

[robust shell]

during b42's development?

[candid sparrow]

yes

[robust shell]

it is

[obtuse wasp]

yes

there was a blogpost about it earlier this year

[robust shell]

oh damn

I didn't notice that one

[obtuse wasp]

there might be generated structures later on

[stable bison]

I mean, they are revamping Louisville with skyscrapers, wouldn't be too crazy to suspect there could be some new buildings east of Louisville, maybe a road to that fort

[obtuse wasp]

but thats something for way later

but the system for it is as far is i remember already in b42, so modders could use it

[fiery pine]

A randomly generated poi map like 7 days has would be nice but I'd like it to be separate to knox county

[robust shell]

how creepy would it be to wander far from the border, only to find a town that never existed in the basegame

sounds like a creepypasta material

[obtuse wasp]

they stated it wouldnt be a fully randomized town

[fiery pine]

yeah ik

[obtuse wasp]

maybe something like a hunter cabin

a hunting stand, the likes

[robust shell]

ye just floating that up

[obtuse wasp]

but procedural means theres a lot more space on the map

[obtuse wasp]

which means mappers can space out a lot more

[robust shell]

the sleeper

[pallid onyx]

In B42 we trust

[stone raptor]

I'm so excited

[pallid onyx]

Same

[obtuse wasp]

putting together a halfway decent randomized town with large cells instead of little chunks that can fit neatly sounds like a nightmare to code

[fiery pine]

Surely B42 will be today

[jovial folio]

b42 is fake

it’s a conspiracy theory

[stable bison]

No, Australia is a conspiracy theory, B42 is real, and this is heresy to say otherwise.

[high copper]

It's officially Tuesday. B42 today when

[tawdry gull]

https://tenor.com/view/domgcat-donkeycat-gif-24380643

[stable bison]

According to prophecy they only release patches between <t:1734455700:t> and <t:1734476400:t>

[pallid onyx]

In B42 we trust

[oak sorrel]

is that your time ?

[stable bison]

It should show up as your local

[oak sorrel]

okay lol so long to wait

[pallid onyx]

I got faith

[tawdry gull]

Well definitely not today then

[stable bison]

Depends on where you are I guess, if you're claiming to be in the fictional land known as Australia, you'd be looking at times on Wednesday, not Tuesday, correct?

[tawdry gull]

It's 6 pm Tuesday if that's what your asking

[stable bison]

as in 10 hours from now to 16 hours from now

[fiery pine]

Oh sweet is B42 out yet future Australian man?

[tawdry gull]

Nah sadly

[tawdry gull]

I can't think right now

[stable bison]

Theoretically, if our belief is founded, when you go to bed in the Western Pacific nighttime, you will sleep through the release of B42

[fiery pine]

:D

[tawdry gull]

You assume I will sleep

I've been consistently awake till 5, I can hold out

[stable bison]

You got at least 10 hours, sleep now, and you'll get a full night's sleep before even the possibility of B42 arriving occurs.

[tawdry gull]

I'm on the train lol

[stable bison]

Unless I'm wrong, and they release it whenever they feel like in the BRitish morning

where is today's NO ?

[velvet mountain]

not yet

Current UK and Ireland time is 7:56

5 minutes without messages, that means something...

[mortal kernel]

absolutely nothing

[mortal kernel]

I know but poeple get up to work at this hour or are already at work

[oak sorrel]

where are they based?

[mortal kernel]

so it's not that early in the morning

[fiery pine]

Ik just sharing the current time

[mortal kernel]

I'm 2 hours ahead of UK

but I work for some private clinics in the UK so I must match their timezone sometimes

Build 42 coming out in 3 days 21 hours 19 minutes 23 seconds

[fiery pine]

Ah yes a weekend release

[coral ingot]

Where'd you get that information?

[velvet mountain]

he made it up

[obtuse cipher]

Spiffo told me

[deep field]

Today???

[regal sphinx]

Today

Waiting for Pat to swing in and go “No”

[zenith oxide]

Blessed brothers and sisters rejoice cause we will all bask in the glory that is b42 one day

[mortal kernel]

the usual day to day laughter at TIS when Pat turns up here and says NO

[minor jay]

😂

[junior arrow]

inb4 pat yes

[pallid onyx]

Great question

[fallen phoenix]

u know on the day it comes out hes gonna ghost us til the moment of

[pallid onyx]

Makes sense

[unreal sentinel]

ITS OUT

[fiery pine]

He's returned to spread misinformation

[magic wraith]

its today

and by "its" i mean tuesday the 17th of december

small print

not B42

[grizzled plank]

Obviously.

[magic wraith]

obviously what

[grizzled plank]

Its 17th of the december, instead b42

[magic wraith]

thanks for confirming smarty pants :p

https://tenor.com/view/joke-missed-over-your-head-gif-8604199

[pallid onyx]

Why lil blud play with our feelings

[obtuse cipher]

its coming out on 23rd of december

[pallid onyx]

[ember crane]

No

[regal sphinx]

To?

[orchid rover]

you write the lore of the game?

[pallid onyx]

Sadness

[earnest stirrup]

Generally when they release an unstable they release also a post where they explain again what is in, what is out and where they want feedback ecc..

So they will probably do the same. Considering this is December, I suppose we can think that we will not receive a thursdoid on the last Thursday of the month (at least this time).

So I think thursday 19, is the best catch to release the build, public a related post and wish good holidays to people.

[orchid rover]

I think there will still be a thursdoid

but not properly done like the rest of them

[fiery pine]

How was the cheese?

Is b42 still held hostage

[gaunt phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-cat-sad-cat-me-when-i-dont-get-orod-tickets-gif-17550107775956741096

[pallid onyx]

Pov

[earnest stirrup]

I think he ordered the cheese form another country, so it will require time to arrive.

We should hope B42 will be out before the cheese, or probably it will be deleted.

[latent mulch]

Pat said no but not to the full question of if it's gonna release today

só his no is invalid

[pallid onyx]

Teha giving hope no cap

[robust shell]

tomorrow

[fiery pine]

Damn, the fate of b42 really resting on some cheese

[earnest stirrup]

Yeah

[pallid onyx]

Cheese lore

[radiant dagger]

Cheddar pls

[thorny fox]

question guys the build will be multiplayer ?

[earnest stirrup]

No

[radiant dagger]

Not for a while

[thorny fox]

F

[gaunt phoenix]

No

[earnest stirrup]

MP will be added during the unstable polishing

[radiant dagger]

I'll settle for red leicster

[fiery pine]

Steam remote play and splitscreen coop should still work no?

[old flint]

Have we had our “No” for today?

[fiery pine]

Yes

[old flint]

Damn better luck tomorrow then.

[orchid rover]

whats the no for

[robust shell]

Ya

[fiery pine]

Confirmation that b42 won't be released today I guess?

[radiant dagger]

Seems so

[deep wing]

Nothing ever happens 👅

[unreal sentinel]

b42
42
2 4...

it comes out on the 24th

[fiery pine]

He's cracked the code

[ember crane]

Could be the new year before it arrives. The cheese that is

[hot oasis]

!roadmap

why is it still not working?

[open vessel]

that command was removed many months ago

[vernal folio]

Godspeed

To the cheese, that is

[pure hedge]

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS

[pine musk]

On a scale of 1 to orgasmic, how much enjoyment are the dev team getting out of teasing B42 at this point? 😂

[warm tendon]

I imagine the devs are getting used to it by now, the playtesters on the other hand...

how do you become a playtester anyway? is there a ritual that one must pass? a blood sacrifice? naming every zombie that every existed?

[gaunt phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/ofa-gif-26728573

[weary oyster]

playtesting zomboid would be a dream

[slow yarrow]

simple, every zombie is now Greg

[weary oyster]

i'm currently eating greggs

[fiery pine]

Yeah, you wouldn't be able to actually play the game like your normally do or do any runs, you will be spending most of your time figuring out how to break the game or looking for any game breaking bugs or glitches as well as saying how fun it would be for the user experience and pointing out any design flaws

[weary oyster]

the dream isn't to play the builds early, the dream is to help the development of the game

[indigo bane]

Nah I'm not lying I just want to enjoy the update lul

[weary oyster]

if you say so

[indigo bane]

I guess it is what most of the excited guys here think

[frank igloo]

the devs better not let me play test because i would probably leak everything

https://tenor.com/view/dog-smile-shyboos-smile-gif-6799543775821848754

[silk thorn]

They probably make you sign an nda

[earnest stirrup]

We are safe 🤞

Build should come before Christmas 🎄🎁, cheese after it.

[deep field]

Time to go touch grass. Not today boys

[earnest stirrup]

To note that also if unstable will be out before Christmas , but on January the cheese will be not good, than all the B42 features yet out like Bowery ecc will still be deleted.

[frank igloo]

that’s just a meaning less no not even answering a question

there is still hope

[deep field]

Given the history, Pat has said no every day till now and we haven’t had a release

I now trust his no’s. Just not his opinion of cheese

[frank igloo]

he could be right 30 times and wrong only 1 time

[weary oyster]

he's an agent of diary filled choas

[deep field]

Pat is a man of taste. He will wait till 00:00 of one day and randomly go “yes” then the announcement will drop a second later

[jovial raven]

So no b42 early acess? 😔

[mortal kernel]

?

[earnest stirrup]

Yes it should happen, but it depend on the cheese quality pat ordered.

And if it will be delivered first or before the hypothetical B42 relese

[jovial raven]

i mean chese or no cheese just so long as its playable before chrissy 🙂

[earnest stirrup]

That's point 👉

[deep field]

I’m excited for B45 when you’re forced to de-evolutionize when resources such as gas and generators run out of parts. You have to rely on a windmill to power your base but that’s fine because you’ve a smithery inside where you just crafted armor for your horse

Post Apocalytic Knights

[silk thorn]

Thats not build 45

[gaunt phoenix]

What's everyone's most wanted features that aren't mentioned in b42?

[silk thorn]

Archery

Well its mentioned but

[buoyant forum]

Yeah, archery and better 3d voice chat

[silk thorn]

Very little

[pallid onyx]

Little very

[ancient hazel]

Eventually? Id love to have some kind of economy with NPC, like a trading system. give me more reasons to go out and scavenge for specific things

[earnest stirrup]

Do we know if cities will receive sewer as underground?

[fiery pine]

Dunno

[deep field]

archery and horses. That’s literally it.

[ancient hazel]

More realistic for the near future? id like there to be a rework to medical/hygene. You shouldnt be able to walk around soaked in zombie blood wih no consequences

[earnest stirrup]

Agree, I will be very happy when finally we will read B43 thursdoid, also if economy is something of more advanced than B43 probably

[silk thorn]

Ciggarettes are me and my frineds currency 😭

[fiery pine]

I think they mentioned modders having the ability to make sewers now with the new levels

[earnest stirrup]

Ah ok but they will not be vanilla than insuppose

[fiery pine]

Yeah but we do gotta drew a line somewhere between realism and fun

[ancient hazel]

im betteing someone will have a mod for a sewer system that spans all of louisville

[fiery pine]

I do want to not have more things to manage, maybe as a trait it would be a fun idea

[silk thorn]

That would be so fun

[fiery pine]

Or maybe if you're soaked in zombies blood long enough it will cause sickness to give a need to shower like if you haven't showerred in a week

[ancient hazel]

I mean like, when your dirtyness level is at 100 for a few days, you should get sick, not necessarily infected, just like the flu or something. I cant imagine washing yourself once a week would be too much to manage.

[old flint]

Fr I hope medical system gets a rework at some point.

[silk thorn]

How about flies start flying over you then you have to clean to not get sick

[earnest stirrup]

They can do all they want, medical and, but B43 should focus on first NPC stage anyway, it's time...

[ancient hazel]

If i knew anything about modding, id make a louisville sewer system. then i can go full hobo sewer rat

[fiery pine]

I wanna pet rat

And I'm hoping animals don't have a life span I would be pretty sad if my pet rat died since theu tend to have shorter lifespans

[jovial raven]

we could suffice when b42 fully comes out

[ancient hazel]

Dont rats live like 3 or 4 years?

[fiery pine]

I could see them going through a herbalist route and using the herbs you pick up to make the equivalent to stuff life painkillers and beta blockers

[jovial raven]

the sooner it does the sooner its code becomes avadible to modders, modders make le npc mods so modders can have a funer time putting features into 42

[fiery pine]

Ye

[jovial raven]

i wonder if at all any ppl will still play 41 when 42 comes out

[old flint]

I mean the servers will remain b41

[fiery pine]

I'd say so mainly mp people

[ancient hazel]

you should be good then, unless you are planning to live longer than that

[old flint]

Until mp released for b42

[fiery pine]

It's quite easy to live for that long, just live out in the sticks and never go into any populated areas to fight zombies

[ancient hazel]

I certainly wont. I gotta go collect animals

[fiery pine]

Until we get carnivorous npc animals and hostile npc humans zombies aren't that much of a threat if you never fight

But thats boring so who'd want to do that

[old flint]

There’s the new zed type, spikey zombies

Can’t push or squash their skulls otherwise you’ll get scratched.

[fiery pine]

Still avoidable

Like I said just never go to towns or what not and you could easily live for as long as you want in the woods

[ancient hazel]

Dang, looks like Pat already said no for the day. Big sad

[old flint]

Avoidable yes but still something new, gotta use your ammo or a long blade. Any short range weapon and you’ll be scratched too

[mental ore]

i like when someone tells everyone things they don't know are ABSOLUTE and TRUE

[old flint]

What do you mean?

[mental ore]

@fiery pine pretending they are the grandmaster of PZ lol, always one active in any chat here

[fiery pine]

Damn, short blunt and short blade gonna struggle

[mental ore]

anyways, delayed til 2025

[fiery pine]

I ain't pretending that I'm a grandmaster at pz wot

[mental ore]

the patch has been eaten

it will emerge in july of 2025

[fiery pine]

There's always Thursday

[gaunt phoenix]

Archery is definitely a good idea for this game

Me personally I'm hoping the devs implement zombie migration on a larger scale

Atm they can't leave their cells unless a metaevent or player lures them

[fiery pine]

Maybe hostile npc humans might have their own event or whatever which may involve zombies being led to your compound by them

In the far future when we get em lol

[silk thorn]

Mass zombie horde migration

All you can do is run

[ancient hazel]

question for you guys because i dont remember, will we be able to craft guns/bullets with the crafting stuff being reworked?

[fiery pine]

No, but for mod potential yes

[silk thorn]

I hope we get a gunsmithing mod

[ancient hazel]

gotcha, thanks

[fiery pine]

As far as I know its only blacksmithed and primitive melee/range weapons

And scrap melee weapons

I could see the potential for scrap ranged weapons like the pipe guns in 7 days, or fallout

[silk thorn]

Armor 🥺 i want to make armor

[gaunt phoenix]

I talked about it a while back but I'm betting that once people know how to use the animal pathing ai well be able to do the same with zombies

[mortal kernel]

there are consequences like getting infected if transmission is set to both blood and saliva

[gaunt phoenix]

So hordes of zombies can migrate on defined pathways just like animals

[fiery pine]

Problem with mass migration is it'll probably be best left as a sandbox option for people to toggle

[mortal kernel]

also unhappiness is modified if you're wearing blood soaked clothes

[gaunt phoenix]

But animals are going to do that

[fiery pine]

With the b42 combat reworks, and muscle soreness after combat fights would have to be picked more wisely

[mortal kernel]

muscle strain

[fiery pine]

^

[mortal kernel]

soreness is similar to fatigue

[ancient hazel]

Sure, but its less about the instant death consequence and more of a penalty. "oops, i didnt clean myself and now im sick for a few days unless i can find antibiotics"

[gaunt phoenix]

And also without true migration the game loses alot of meaning once you base in the wilderness

It becomes less of a zombie game and more wilderness survival

[fiery pine]

Damn really? Are you sure that's not just a side effect from being stressed due to hemophobic

[mortal kernel]

dude there is a small chance to contract the virus if you're all bloody for long periods of time, not regular sicknesses

[ancient hazel]

i am interested to see how the muscle strain works. like, can it be mitigated by doing the exercise

[mortal kernel]

yes

[fiery pine]

Yeah that's part of the issue with the wilderness there has to be a way to deter from that playsttyle but also attract

[ancient hazel]

yes, but thats not what im saying i would like to see. i would like to see a regular sickness

[fiery pine]

There's no threat in the wilderness

[silk thorn]

Maybe theyll add stretching to prepare for workouts or fighting

[mortal kernel]

that's for the medical overhaul

[vague tangle]

build 42000 lines of code

[ancient hazel]

again, yes, thats what i would like to see. we were talking about things we would like to see that are not specifically mentioned to be coming in this unstable

[gaunt phoenix]

Even a group of 20 zombies, which is the default rally group size coming in every week or so randomly would be enough

[mortal kernel]

medical overhaul as well as food & nutrition is most likely post B42

[gaunt phoenix]

I hope so

[vague tangle]

life after b42 exists?

[mortal kernel]

food & nutrition are surely post b42 stated by the devs

[gaunt phoenix]

Imo ppl might not like it but I think removing first aid as a skill might be an option

[ancient hazel]

yes. its like you are not reading what i am writing

[twilit forge]

any clue when the unstable launches?

[mortal kernel]

no for some here I see there is no life outside b42

[candid sparrow]

i wish b41 was real

[gaunt phoenix]

Because atm if you get hit, 9/10 you die

[fiery pine]

Think you've time travelled a bit

[mortal kernel]

nope

[gaunt phoenix]

It's an option

[mortal kernel]

why ?

[gaunt phoenix]

Not saying it's the best option, but it's pretty redundant as a skill

[candid sparrow]

what is this "time travelled"

[silk thorn]

I want them to fix the multiplayer syncing 😭😭

My friends dissapear, cars cause interdimensional portals

[fiery pine]

Just guesses, we know before Christmas is what the devs are going for and that they've been working on the dev build and doing playtests on steamdb

[gaunt phoenix]

Not alot of sources for injury in the game, those that cause injury can be dealt with easily, and those that are severe are run ending

[fiery pine]

but it could easily be delayed into the New Year so if that happens don't be too mad at em

[mortal kernel]

it is redundant but the solution is to give it more functionality and uses

not remove it

[candid sparrow]

acktually the higher the skill the faster you heal

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah idk how though

[twilit forge]

Gotcha, thanks.

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah but it's a marginal increase, it's not that significant except for maybe a broken bone

[candid sparrow]

that doesn't mean it's entirely useless

[fiery pine]

Yes like expand herbal medicine so we can make equivalent to the medicine we got now like a herbal equivalent of beta blockers(yes I'm aware there's mods that do this already and that some herbal plants give some remedies but its very minor)

[twilit forge]

I think the solution on the first aid skill lies on this new crafting system , as it could easily be introduced as a pre-requisite to some crafting..

[candid sparrow]

yee

or new ways to get sick <:)

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah new ways of injury would be good

Different zombie injuries

[fiery pine]

Heatstroke

[fiery pine]

More % chances of getting infected yippe

[candid sparrow]

devs get on this now

[mortal kernel]

the medical system need reworked but not like you think it should

[gaunt phoenix]

Because atm in normal play you can totally last for months or even years without levelling first aid

[twilit forge]

Make more use of those masks... with the basement stuff, you could like, go to places that makes you cough and get sicker faster or whatever..

[gaunt phoenix]

The biggest deterrence for me to level first aid though is the fact that all it takes is one hit from a zombie and no amount of first aid skill will help you

[silk thorn]

I feel like it would be better as a medical skill tree then getting the points unlocking things as you go

[gaunt phoenix]

Modded is a different story, like amputations could save you

[mortal kernel]

for ex contracting an infectious disease should apply amplifier to unhappiness, stress, body temp, loss of appetite (loosing body weight) reduce combat performance, reduce work performance, etc

[twilit forge]

in combine , they could bring back that guard skill they removed.

[fiery pine]

Still water in basements

[gaunt phoenix]

If muscle soreness is gonna be a big limiting factor I could see first aid having some use there too

I think it might take experienced players some getting used to

[silk thorn]

Adrenaline shots

[mortal kernel]

and a new mechanic muscle cramps and aches which in turn if you choose combat can apply a chance for the weapon to be dropped or mishandled with a miss chance

[gaunt phoenix]

That'd be dope, or morphine etc

[fiery pine]

There already is negative modifiers to being sick though

increased body temp is one of them

[mortal kernel]

it's primitive

[fiery pine]

less carry weight

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah, if you're sick you're sick

[mortal kernel]

it needs more complex consequences on your body

[twilit forge]

headache with some screen effects maybe?

[mortal kernel]

and in depth detail on how to mitigate it

[gaunt phoenix]

There's no differentiation, like irl infection sickness is different to food poisoning etc

[fiery pine]

I agree, and maybe change the time it takes to kill you lol

[gaunt phoenix]

I still think resilient should be reworked

[fiery pine]

many of times have I died to a few hours of corpse sickness, its why mods like working masks is a god send

[gaunt phoenix]

Idk why you'd spend 4 points on it lol

[fiery pine]

good thing the cold can't kill you

(yet)

[mortal kernel]

which is very bad

breaks immersion

[twilit forge]

multiplayer servers?

people keep making turd sandwich...

trying to poison you and stuff.

[mortal kernel]

cold like heat should kill you just like IRL

[fiery pine]

Yeah but how far do we go into the immersion where at some point it stops being fun

[gaunt phoenix]

I mean you could just not eat good other people give you

[twilit forge]

thing is, this game is so complex that everything we think it's useless to our custom run, it is useful for something else.

Even if it is just for roleplay.

[gaunt phoenix]

Abd don't you mean iron gut

[heady cipher]

yo where can i see 42 features ?

[twilit forge]

That too.

[fiery pine]

Vaccines?

[mortal kernel]

that's why the game is this good because of logic, realism and immersion

[fiery pine]

heatstroke is way more deadly than the common cold

[twilit forge]

Honestly, can't wait for those body dragging anims.

[gaunt phoenix]

If we could cook rotten food eith iron gut and survive it might be an okay trait if it was -1 or -2

[silk thorn]

I hope we get swimming added at some point

[fiery pine]

New trait idea unvaccinated lol, common cold is now deadly

[silk thorn]

Tetanus: get hit by rusty weapons

[mortal kernel]

it's game breaking when factors that work on common sense logic like hypothermia to not function accordingly

[fiery pine]

ok I was wrong the cold is actually more deadly than the heat

[mortal kernel]

hmm I think flu vaccines weren't a sure thing back in 90s'

[silk thorn]

Especially in kentucky

[mortal kernel]

like they were in clinical trials

[fiery pine]

in the 1990s?

oh good point locational factors

[mortal kernel]

some of them yes

[gaunt phoenix]

Or hunger

[fiery pine]

I'm not American but I do feel like Kentucky is more rural than any other state

just based of the vibe of pz

[gaunt phoenix]

Somehow you don't have to have low weight to starve to desth

[wide jungle]

Still no "no" from Pat today?

[gaunt phoenix]

Makes no sense

[mortal kernel]

weight loss > starvation > negative traits

[gaunt phoenix]

You can die if you're normal weight though

[mortal kernel]

no

[gaunt phoenix]

You don't have to be emaciated

Even though emaciated is ingame

[silk thorn]

I think we will get a veternarian profession in 42

[fiery pine]

new traits and professions will be later

[silk thorn]

Oh

[fiery pine]

they've said in their previous blog

or this blog I suppose

[gaunt phoenix]

I hope they don't bloat traits abd professions too much

There's so many broken traits already in game

[fiery pine]

one of the playtesters mentioned smoker no longer being op so they've probably done some basic balancing/tweaks

[mortal kernel]

if you're at normal weight, the body will.start to utilize it's own reserves to fight starvation

[gaunt phoenix]

I mean that's one trait everyone has known for a long time has been unbalanced

[fiery pine]

yh

claustrophobic is basically free in MP

[gaunt phoenix]

Slow healer, high thirst etc. All the free xp traits need to be rethought

[silk thorn]

Smoker is nerfed DEFINITELY

[mortal kernel]

good it was silly

[gaunt phoenix]

And some traits are that bad you'd never use them like the opposite of dexterous

[fallen phoenix]

all thumbs

[tawdry gull]

B42 still not out?

[fiery pine]

Maybe inconspicuous will be good with the lighting/stealth changes and since it seems combat will be less of a major point

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah all thumbs

[mortal kernel]

all thumbs you mean

[fallen phoenix]

it is, did u sleep thru it?

[gaunt phoenix]

Who uses all thumbs?

[tawdry gull]

i wasnt asleep lol

i just went out for dinner after the train

[fallen phoenix]

i tried using all thumbs in mp once but it drove me mad & then i ran into the woods never to be seen ahain

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah exactly

It's just not fun lol

[fiery pine]

me and slow reader when I first played zomboid and mp, and we didn't know how to increase reading speed lol

[gaunt phoenix]

If it was a +6 or +8 it might be worth

[fiery pine]

slow reader is so free solo thou

[mortal kernel]

it's free trait

[fallen phoenix]

slow reader is free points in like 90% of situations

[gaunt phoenix]

Yeah

[mortal kernel]

most of the are

[fallen phoenix]

but yeah that 10% where the server isnt set up for fast reading lol

[fiery pine]

I would never take agoraphobic

[gaunt phoenix]

Oh yeah, thick skinned and thin skinned also don't actually do much

[mortal kernel]

that's why they're getting rebalances

[latent mulch]

so the day looks very hopeful!
Pat hasn't said No yet (specifically towards b42 releasing today, he just said No and that's it)

[gaunt phoenix]

They don't change how resistant you are to zombie attacks

[mortal kernel]

he said

[gaunt phoenix]

Just your dodge value

[fallen phoenix]

thin skinned is a lose more trait. but just dont lose

[latent mulch]

they only said no but to a question if they were going to say no today

not to a question of if b42 was going to be released today

[mortal kernel]

it's not releasing today

[latent mulch]

it definelly is

[fallen phoenix]

its alrdy released, ur mom has it

[latent mulch]

believe the order of the build

[fiery pine]

If they ever change how protection works, and drag down etc which I doubt they ever will zomboid is pretty much a no hit run every run

[gaunt phoenix]

If thin and thick skinned just added or subtracted from your clothing value that'd make more sense

[fiery pine]

I've rejected protection and embraced style

[gaunt phoenix]

It's be more useful too

[fallen phoenix]

yeah it is rly wild how the worst injury is a hand/arm injury but u cna get scratches doing nothinggg

[winged cape]

B42 drop at 11:59 24th december

[gaunt phoenix]

With thick you could get to 100% bite protection on alot of clothing if it truly gave 30%

[fiery pine]

I never understood why getting a scratch on your right hand can be so debilitating for melee combat

[latent mulch]

cause you can't hold anything properly

[fallen phoenix]

7% chance of infection on that right hand scratch, huge increase in the odds u will get overwhelmed by small hordes

[latent mulch]

hand injuries are the worst, even a finger injury is already bad

[fiery pine]

Yes but tis a scratch

[latent mulch]

irl that is

[tawdry gull]

i find clothes that are relatively protective while looking like a scruffy survivor

[mortal kernel]

just add some padding with lvl 10 tailoring and you won't have to worry about clothing protection

[fiery pine]

not a laceration or a deep wound

[latent mulch]

still though, I had a minor scratch on my finger a few days ago from a knife and I couldn't do anything with it cause I didn't had the same dexterity as before

[fallen phoenix]

idc abt irl for balancing stuff like injuries

[fiery pine]

Does that prevent drag down?

[old flint]

Nearly 18k comments now

[gaunt phoenix]

I'm surprised this thread is still up lol

[fiery pine]

20k isn't a dream!

[old flint]

20k before b42

[limber idol]

Welp I said I'd ask it today

Hey Pat, is the update dropping?

[fiery pine]

He said no already

[latent mulch]

they didn't

[limber idol]

👍

[latent mulch]

they said no to saying no

not to the b42 release today

[fiery pine]

oh so thats what he was ssaying no to lol

[latent mulch]

YEAH here let me get it

[fiery pine]

well either way I still don't think its coming till Thursday

[latent mulch]

he swinged and said no and that's it, but not to the question of if b42 was releasing today

[fiery pine]

lol

[latent mulch]

SO THERE'S STILL A CHANCE

[fiery pine]

Call off sick

[limber idol]

As much as I'm lookingforward to B42, I'm not skipping work just to game

[fiery pine]

That's respectable, however I will be(jk)

[limber idol]

I have Friday off but Mom needs me to come up and help move stuff

[fiery pine]

Mom's on their way to send you on a main quest

[limber idol]

Dude two of my sisters still live with her I don't get why they can't help

It's just moving some stuff to storage, not even heavy stuff lmao

[fiery pine]

Fr one of my siblings is the same 💀

[limber idol]

[old flint]

I mean this could be pat trolling and going along with the meme

They didn’t specifically ask him if it was releasing today 👀

[limber idol]

I mean the questiona nd answer are both a given at this poin.t

"Today?"
"No"

[latent mulch]

EXACTLY

[latent mulch]

LIES

believe the order, B42 TODAY

[limber idol]

https://tenor.com/view/coconutmall-moment-32-breaking-bad-falling-gif-21088678

[old flint]

Idk it didn’t have the question about the release, only for him to swing in to say “no”

So pat, is b42 releasing today?

[limber idol]

I already asked and we're still waiting

[mortal kernel]

ping him

[deep field]

https://tenor.com/view/coconut-coconut-malled-coconut-mall-mario-kart-lovro-the-coolest-gif-20290663

[finite turtle]

this build 42 update is crazy.. the old mechanics we know will fade away with this new massive update. imagine if b42 comes out today

[limber idol]

https://tenor.com/view/the-cow-after-roblox-verification-be-like-gif-19238344

1/10000000 chance for a cow to spawn as the Polish cow

[mortal kernel]

so he will be notified once he's online

[limber idol]

Pinging staff for any reason other than a rule break is a sure fire way to get banned no matter the server

[vivid apex]

BOOOOORINNNGGGG

[limber idol]

I already have 2 strikes from the automod for accidentally breaking the rules, I'm not risking it

[fiery pine]

Thank you for your sacrifice brother

[mortal kernel]

and stale

[mortal kernel]

😆

[latent mulch]

you small be remembered

[jovial folio]

b42 is fake it’s the government trying to distract us from something big

[limber idol]

Not my fault there's no rule against the large text

[mortal kernel]

you don't do caps

[limber idol]

We were joking about Roman from GTA 4 and I tried to reply to a guy with "BOWLING" in the large text.

No fun allowed, 10 minute timeout

[mortal kernel]

ahh that's not a strike

[limber idol]

Well I also got a 24 hour time out because we were joking about Best Korea having B42 early and I said the name of Glorious leader

So I don't want to find out what happens on the 3rd

[mortal kernel]

yes they are not allowed

any political reference is not allowed even if it's a joke

[limber idol]
