#RW Character Tournament

Meatbags
agreed
but if you discriminate against everything, are you really discriminating against anything?
omg i did not expect saint to be losing so hard
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.
vote saint
No and that’s why I have to discriminate against fleshy things
Also they’re still waaaaaay too meaty, a bastardization of both meatbag and machine, disrespecting both by their very existence
lettuce had no chance against the fish
how about iterators
where do they fall on the spectrum
I like iterators
Same
Horrifying but they share a common goal with me (kill everything)
Which side r u on? Saint or riv riv just cuz I don’t agree with saint
Neither this vote bores me
i hate them both
rivulet
Also riv is pure caffeine THATS. A smoothie I need to make
*pure cocaine
man someone posted a bunch of live frog dissection pictures uncensored in the general chat of a different server I'm in
Cool, kill them I guess
Why you should vote riv: (credit to destroy7831#5229)
vivisection
I could not care less about riv or saint they’re like my least favorite cats
And gourmand
Not gameplay or campaign wise just like in general
if rivulet wins i will make the ending of pizza tower but with rivulet and saint
Gourmand might actually be my 2nd fav or 3rd
Spoilers bad vote Saint
spearmaster and artificer are my favorite dp slugs
Funny thing that everyone’s favorites are the oldest on the timeline I guess they’re just stronger
Spoilers?
oldie goldies
Not really
I'm disappointed that none of the iterators got into final
the urge to not sleep or do homework and make a new iterator oc instead
Sleep, do homework, then make new iterator oc
Or do homework, sleep, then make iterator oc
Whatever is better for you
i just woke up
I slept all day bc i was SICK so im working on propaganda
its 1am right now
Then sleep, do homework later, then do iterator oc

Man, I wish NHS or moon won the tournament. Alas, it doesn't always go the way you want it to.
At least the arti vs NSH and inv vs FP part were epic
rivs the most boring thing that could win too
moon be mach running to vote her pet though
second half of the competition been boring ahh hell
it will never get better than that
Hunter too would've been kinda boring, but I think that is better than riv
the moment the losers bracket happened it was all down hill from there
rain world community when it votes out the interesting options and ends up choosing the popular, boring ones
no justice for jetfish....
hunters awesome
I woulda voted for Hunter
Well, this is a popularity contest. It has been fun at least
I SENSE HUNTER SLANDER
HUNTER IS AMAZING
HUNTER SLANDER SPOTTED
wet mouse vs religious weed
I’m pretty sure I ended up voting riv because it got somebody to switch to something else I was voting for
i was dumbfounded to discover that akinator was able to guess 5 pebbles, NSH, and SRS all in a row with ease
Hunter is just glorified saint, but garbage
what
nooo,.... (mean to reply to this one grrr i hate reply function chat will move nad ill press the wrong message)
wow i did the wrong message agai nok im too tired I see
mirm say that again
No I was just high on copium nvm
Hunter is just glorified saint, but garbage.
Saint has better combat, better movement, better story...
Hunter tries to copy saint so hard
glorified saint?? what do saint and hunter have to do with each other
if anything hunter and rivulet or hunter and spearmaster are better comparisons
LIES AND SLANDER
better..... better combat?...
...where...?
nah they gtta be trolling
/joe
/mama
SAINT AINT EVEN THAT HARD I BEAT HIM PRETTY EASY
HUNTER?
HAVEN’T EVEN GOTTEN OUT OF SI
Saint isn't hard and neither is hunter lol
hunters not that bad theyre just a commitment
Yeah, hunter can be tough. If you need help, feel free to ask us in #1070071773598588998 , we will gladly help you
Well I mean hunter IS hard if you don't plan your route beforehand, the actual gameplay isn't hard, it's just the routing that is hard (or rather, the 20 cycle limit, the route is pretty obvious if you know the map)
I am not accepting help at uh ever I’m just going to huff copium instead
hunter absolutely can be hard if you're trying to hit all 3 goals in one route
Honestly, I recommend you just do hunter, see how far you get, and retry if you fail
At least you've learnt something.
Uh.
ok i used the wrong words
hunter isnt hard its just the fact you cant make too many mistakes and you can get in your head about being optimal
if only nsh got 1 more vote
we wouldve gotten to see srs vs nsh
sent. Vot sent.
is the NSH pearl even a goal? I don't think you get points for it at the end of the run
pebbles, moon, ascending
No but the neuron is ands thats already great.
It’s a goal for me
That certainly complicates things, but you can do it
oh right you get points for ascending (even though that's the only ending)
the nsh pearl is awesome
favorite pearl besides maybe the farm arrays drop pearl
My favorite vanilla pearl is the "I struggle to accept being a bug" one by FP
Who's winning
rivet is winning atm unfortunately
These were made by my friend who doesn't even play rain world

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/851676501342158868/1108262113543200798/image.png
Rivulet will win but at least Saint got to 2nd place :)
Another propaganda by my friend: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/851676501342158868/1108264719745286185/image.png
RUFFLES SWEEP LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
this can't be real
I'll take a Ruffles W
Kinda wish Hunter n Arti got higher tho
Spearmaster 
the art is rigged scoutulet looks way cooler than saintdic
It's not the art that matters
If you think this art is rigged you should see rivulet vs spearmaster lol
the art matters
My guy have you seen the past arts
do tell. spearmaster is my favorite slugcat
It barely matters, it makes a very small difference
all I'm saying is I was a through and through saint fan but after I saw that art I wavered
It was both main game art and fan art, the icons don't matter
wait yeah I did see that what even is that image
It's fanart (specifically made for this tournament), and it looks cool but it's not cute which is a major factor of why people like scugs
it looks kinda cut off to me tbh
The art don't matter, you like it or not, it won't take away from the character itself
RIV SCOUT!!!
rivuler cant be winnin by this much this is literally more than srs saint what the hell
It makes a very small difference because it's harder to influence people who are on the edge between voting one or the other when the art is of varying cuteness
The riv in this one is official art
obviously it doesn't take away from the character I'm just saying people who are kinda split and don't debate in the channel or anything will probably be swayed by the art
Saint fans were boasting how they gonna band together to win against riv and here we are
Yeah, I'm talking bout spearmaster, that's fanart sent like a few hours before that poll started iirc
I feel like Riv would’ve won regardless of that
It would've at least been closer by like 10 votes
the truth hurts
I'm sorry spear but i have more attachment to the wet mouse via purely lore
i am a saint fan but i am also a riv fan, and my love of saint mostly stems from fanon and fanmade content while my love of rivulet comes from its gameplay and lore and the personality fans infer that it has
Yeah sure take your copiods Riv is way more popular than they have any right to be and we just gotta accept it

so i voted rivulet. rip saint
spearmaster is so cool I mean look at him drawing his awesome pictures when everybody else is sleeping
you can't just like riv lore more than saint man
"the right to be" have you seen the iterator sweep
I'm not saying he's not, I'm just trying to tell the person that the art in this poll isn't "rigged", since the most rigged it has ever been was rivulet vs spearmaster where if it even influenced anyone, it was probably like 5 people
I don’t see an Iterator in the finals, and they are actual characters, unlike riv, who has like zero character to ‘em
Id normally vote saint but I'm salty about what happened so I'm gonna vote riv
Saint is losing it's over
rivs just the most marketable slug
wqaaah!! but i dotn like riv lore morw than saint !!!!!!!!!!!!! this pwrsion's oppjnion is diffwrrent!!!!!! !!!!!!
anyways im going this is wints time
SRS was in semifinals and moon and NSH were in quarter finals
Almost all of the scugs only have fanon personalities
Yeah and? Neither were necessarily a sweep, and they still have way more personality than any slug
all slugs only have fanon personalities
at best they have some basic personality traits
I mean yeah, but what're you trying to say
artificer too
SRS has like two porls that they show up in and they’re still a real character that you can infer a decent bit of character from
Arguably artificer has the most, and even that is shallow cus scugs don’t speak
You haven't seen the broadcasts yet then
I don't think not speaking makes your personality shallow
it can but arti has some real development with no words necessary no doubt about it
Cocain scug,,,
Blue mans,,,
slugs dont have personality because their personality depends on the PLAYER for 99% of the time
roboy what
well that's also true
Monk can be the sweetest scug and the average player can still make him bloodthirsty
Blue scug in my head is a coffe addict
She has a bit more than Rookie from ODST
And he’s a player self insert character so
I would love to see a whole gallery of just the propaganda posters once this is over
I've made 10 propaganda images for spearmaster lol
that must've made it hurt so much more
These were the 3 I made !! With some doodles in between but they weren’t serious
Yeah, I was trying my damn hardest for him to win
Arti my beloved
by the time I found out this was a thing we were already in the semifinals. good on you though soldier
Also what I was saying here is it’s really hard to communicate character through movements and body language in a game like RW, and you can only go so far on actions alone
(And arti doesn’t do enough things to actually flesh out the character)
Arti has plenty to flesh out her character
I would like to note im not super happy with this result but it is almost 2 am and im getting over being sick maybe ill make something better tmmr
Okay compare what the game shows you and isn’t headcanon or theories but rather something the game is directly communicating to the player to literally any iterator (besides UI) in basegame (I haven’t read all the DP lore)
have you played artificer
And no “transcendental inversion!” Guy doesn’t count
And yes I played all the DP scugs
<@&1064829582533984337>
Riv,,,
Also NO SOILERS
Don’t get me wrong I love downpour, but none of the scugs have ever had much character to them, I even went as far as to say Arti has the most character of any scug
bro does not know about UU and HF
me freakin neither
(they have 1 and 3 lines of dialogue each and are pseudonyms for iterators we dont know)
They’ve got more character to em, you get a lore more out of dialogue most of the time
"wait now..." - HF
surely you're not saying that that is more of a character than artificer
Except him, he doesn’t talk like at all so it’s an unfair comparison
The lore is laid out right in front of you and you still missed it somehow
were the only ones that care about them
Actually you know I retract the statement about the transcendental inversion guy he has a decent but of character
A shame SRS couldn't win, but no matter. Hunter was defeated as planned...
I know why she’s doing what she’s doing, but it doesn’t give her more character than the iterator dialogue gives them
AS PLANNED?
people when they need explicit dialogue to decide something has character
Anyway gn chat 
ok that's fair. I don't think we were arguing the cats had more though (maybe?) but I agree that iterators have more apparent personalities. but slugcats definitely don't have no personality
I said arti has the most, not that she’s the only one who has any

I do believe there was something about rivulet having no personality at all
Riv has like close to zero comparatively especially if you believe the theory about them that I do
Rivulet is one of the ones who don't have too much to them because we don't get much shown, but the seeds are there
riv is very animalistic, even among cats
honestly acts like a dog...

Hey fellas
This is a thread in RW-memes, not DP-memes. Let's keep DP discussion spoiler free
Not gonna go in more details since it borders on soiler territory
right right
Riv looks goofy and dumb and apparently in the community’s eyes that means they’re autistic
hi again fae
nuclear take
and yeah this is getting too close to spoiler territory
Riv can ploink and i think that makes Riv cool
Not everyone views Riv as autistic just because they are silly
can we get that info if you dont mind 
Like the only thing I get when looking at all of riv (story and character design) is “funny blue rat go fast and do spoiler thing”
I view Riv as AuDHD because its me projecting into my headcanon of their personality
I see riv as a cocaine coffee addict and lover of squishes
riv is def zonked on the regular
Riv is a stoner and Saint is the weed
na na saint is the stoner. riv doesn't do hallucinogenics she does stimulants
I was more joking about the current vote
never joke about what kind of drugs these cats are taking again. 👹
That’s a sharp 180 from doing it yourself 
LMFAO
you don't do it like I do
I don’t do it in a way approved by the paint eater council?
Saint is zooted
Riv is high
are u happy yet revengers do u see that vote lead
is this exhilarating for you
I see all slugcats as blank slates for the player, a link to the game
Kinda like how for monk, sure you can do what's intended and be a coward pacifist, or you can go on a murderous rampage.
Revenge for SRS and NSH
R I V S W E E E E P
you got me. I can't keep escalating it without actually sounding rude. you win this time
Riv is winning for all the iterators
Im just happy my baby is winning
I love these, very awesome art!
Nah I’m pretty bored because there’s two options that I don’t like
i honestly don’t care much for those who have fallen I just like Riv 
Also
I would normally vote saint because they're the easiest campaign and funnest movement controls but
They killed my precious child and therefore I must Join the wet rodent
mmm looks good I mean uh I don't eat paint that's so weird guys you're being so weird haha
riv sweep wont bring them back
Riv sweep won’t bring them back but it will bring joy
riv avenge the moon
ik im trying to rub salt in the wounds to atleast make this a little exciting
Also no it won’t I didn’t want Riv to win
I am go back to [eeping] now
ok guys let's all start hating each other but as a joke so everyone who comes into the thread thinks the fight is still super intense
its okay… when saint voters lose at least they’ll have a comfy pillow to cry into
I love how there was this one guy rallying that the Saint voters will come together to take Riv down by collabing with the other losers, and then it turned the other way around
But it will bring back my honour and provide some comfort.
GRRRRRRRRRRR RIVULET MORE LIKE RATVULET !!!!! 111 ! 😠 😠 😠 😠 
Fucking. Rivulet. I'm going to PUNCH IT IN THE FREAKING FACE HAHAGHG
Look at this face and say that again
Cuteness aggression
LOL thats bc last night all the srsaint people that were awake agreed that riv was too overrated and them winning would be boring, so we told each other no matter if suns or saint won we;d push them to the end so riv doesnt
and then when suns fell that kinda broke and they started pushing riv anyway so i think their bloodlust overrode the want for riv to not win
SAINT IS STOPID
CANT THROW SPEAR
RIV SMORT
EVADES FUCKING EVERYTHING
[Zzzzzzz] pretend that a riots going on so we can get 2 minute slowdown [zzzzzzzz]
I just know when riv does win ppl are gonna go back to complaining about how easy it was for them though
Suns broke them 😂
Tbh i think if anyone won there’d be people complaining about something regarding the way the character got there
uwghuguu people like you make me SICK I HATE RIVULET EVEN MORE NOW!!!!!!!
THATS IT. IVE HAD ENOUGH
RIVULET DUMB AND UGLY CANT EVEN BREAJTHE UNDERWATER FOREVER
Riv can breathe underwater longer than you grabs cinderblocks and duct tape
i know its so sad
Time for a good old witch trial
Riv is just a babey growing into their gills
BEATS YOU UP IRL !!!!!
just forget it. if not everyone's committed this'll never work
honestly i think that itd be equally boring if either saint or riv won
i wish other creatures got more attention
Pipebomb in ur mailbox (it’s actually arti with 56 bombs)
Get them, if they float they innocent, if they sink they a witch
yes plz send me arti (ik she will instantly launch spear into my chest but its ok shes cute)
we all knew a slug or iterator was gonna win
Just saying Batfly should’ve won
Rivulet is a fresh/saltwater slugcat maybe? That's why they can't breathe in the water?
oooo propaganda
dll would've cleared white lizard if it didn't go in as zonkerdoodle I was sad to see that
i wish nsh at least got to semifinals because thatd mean we'd get to see nsh vs srs
look my sticker :D
sopping wet mouse vs. fluffball pacifist
pebbles vs srs would have been wonderful
this is probably not actually true I just really like the rot so I'm coping
sobbing land fish vs fluffy lil guy who wouldn't hurt a fly
Some people headcanon that Rivulets gills are under-developed and only allow for longer breathing rather than being able to completely breathe underwater!
This is personally what I believe :]
they just have a skill issue tbh
i drowned as rivulet like 3 times trying to [REDACTED]
I like to think she's getting crushed by water pressure even though that doesn't really make sense
Lab grown slugcat not cut out for real world
rivulet was like my 2nd favorite (and first one i played) campaign but DAMN saints campaign goes SO hard
To be fair do you have 0.15 lung capacity stat of which is 6.67x the standard
There he go
oh my...... the rocket
what the fuck is saint doijg
the rocket slug
he launch
<@&1064829582533984337>
don't worry it'll be on the movement doc soon
My other favorite is when he does the cycle move
ok now record that but transparent
Oh i didnt know that counted as spoilers mb 😭
I think ploinking is funnier just bc its named ploinking
the rocket move should be called bwoioing tbh
SO TRUE
⚔️ 
I've heard that one mentioned a lot but I haven't seen it. Please somebody tell me -- what is ploinking
i honestly dont know where the slugcats with all the weird abilities (artificer, saint, riv) would have come from naturally
You can actually find a clip of it on rivs wiki page :3
got it
its when riv touches water and u like swim down rly hard while holding up?/ or something like that idfk
but u launch rly hard when u do it
you have to spam jump and hold down when touching water
saint can do a bunch of silly flips
Its like you enter the water slightly and jump out at an angle and go fwoosh
lol I love how short the ploinking section on the wiki is
riv can do one big, dashing silly flip
fuck this actually VOTE FUEL PUMP ⛽
I think its silly ploinking is even on the wiki but its like
Wow that thing can ploink
i like to think the slugcats, especially the more normal ones (survivor, monk, hunter, gourmand) were just natural species but the weird explosive and grapple and water scugs make it weird unless theyre subspecies somehow
add a fuel pump emoji to the poll and I'll click on it
I think saint is a natural mutation because like
Fur isn’t too weird
yeah but where did its super long tongue come from 
i wouldnt categorize gourmand as one of the more normal ones
i mean its just a regular slugcat but chonky
got it from jimmy over on the corner
gourmand is just more smart and larger
fat cat
I think mentioning that mechanic might get you smitten for soilers ?
i honestly forgot that mechanic existed ive only ever used it like 2 times lol
smitten might not be the word but that's probably true
its vague enough so i think im good
yea wtf is saint tongue
<@&1064829582533984337>

nvm its deleted by a mod
saints silly i like them ignoring the yknow
the question is if the tongue is a mutation or a genetical modification
There something i need to say so im gonna head to #downpour-meme-discussion rq regarding gourm

i think itd be funny how the different types of slugcats (explody, swimmy, grapply) were all one species but they just evolved and mutated weirdly over time, and each of the campaign slugcats were just a selected character out of those, idk if that makes sense
like imagine coming across a pack of scugs at a specific time and they all had funny gills and ploinked around
spearmaster doesnt count
yea they did
But why
riv cooler
You would be suprised how many fans riv got
Also iterator fans want vengeance
its a good campaign
It's not vengeance if the other side drops their swords, especially when it's done out of boredom rather than surrender
Some iterator fans are also fans of others
Honestly it just feels kinda half assed now that the saint army is gone is all
VIC NO
NOOOOOOOO
soiler??
OH DRFTWHUSI sORRY ILL SPOIL IT
I söllered my pants for a second
VIC YOU'RE DOOMING US ALL
Its too late my precious innocent eyes have been soiled
Just post it in #downpour-art-gallery★
Spoiling it still counts as spoilers!!!
Discords system sucks and does nothing to prevent people from clicking anyway 😔
I sölled my pants already, it's too late
I soiled ALL of your pants
My poor pantaloons how could you
IM SORRRYYY - my bad """
WHAT WHERE IS MONKPANTS

its still spoilers even if you use the feature here you will get sniped 
oh ight I see, so can't post it at all?
You say that like rivulets a vegetable 😭
phew thank you
QUICK SEND IT IN #downpour-art-gallery★ BEFORE YOU GET SNIPED
Soiler strike... GO
Oh No!
||Söllers are tempting to click.||
wait I just lost it- oh no 
I saved the two panels i can send them over
THANK U YES PELASEE TFEGBSWJI
With how many walls they bash their head into regularly they're probably not far from it
thank you 😂
Crisis averted lmao
The soiler beam strikes again… its victims are plentiful
Orbital anti-soiler cannon
I DIDN'T MEAN TO EDFWSUH- I'm slowly learning how this server works little by little <<"""
it happens I tried my best to give warning but alas
It is 3 am and im an eepy little guy
It is also 3 am for me
The 3 am monster coming for everyone
o7 chat I need to go bc I gotta be up in 3 hours oopsies!! (I was sick and it completely scuffed my sleep schedule i’m not usually up this late i swear)
Its 9 for me 
Vic i love how the file name is just " dead" 
SERDFTYGUH fitting uwu
This tournament has been one hell of a ride
ikr 😂
i dont want it to end
I wonder if we'll have some post tournament brackets where we can put anybody against anyone
Ffa would be fun
I reckon there should be like- a sorted one where it's "which is the best lizard" "Which is the best scug" "which is the best Iterator" - that would be fun bc then u get multiple winners without toooo much bias on iterator over a lizard for example
im planning after pride month to run a tourney with just like everything from rw in it
256 items
We can have the fated pairs we wanted in the beginning
Srs vs Pebbles go
omg yeah DRFTYGUH
Rock vs blue bomb
My eyes hate the blue bombs I'm voting rock
rock sweep
True.. rock is the OG
slime mold vs blue fruit is where its at
eggbug egg SWEEP
waaah this means an entire one and a half month of NO tournament 
How will we survive this tragedy
200 of the contestants are batfly grass
Wormgrass vs dropwig
i hope there wont be any slugcats even though i know they will 😔
it would be much more interesting deciding what actually is the favorite creature/food than just a repeat of rivulet sweep imo
If we go with iterators there could be just rw and then dp brackets
UI sweep
rivulet woop woop
UI can go to the depths they not sweeping anything i will personally make sure
people obviously will like the main characters more thaj anything
look how HARSH the ratio was in vulture and saint
Rw could have the 6 bois and the DP one has the broadcast iterators
Chasing Wind is forever resting in the quiet
#VoteSaint
riv is smelly
True! Riv is a stinky bloinky land fish
riv doesnt deserve to win the finals im geniunely kind of angry about it
this should be saint's win grah
the winner should have been zonkerdoodle all along
like, i thought you abandoned funny long ago. why not vote the better slug now? what is the reason for my purgatory?
"okay but rivulet looks like scout tf2 rn"
i mean saints no better than rivulet theyre both equal lol
i would bring up dp things buuuuuuut
i'll put it like this:
rivulet's campaign is genuinely ass
euhhewhuehhuehh
yes i know saint has a good story or something (i havent played it yet)
saint is an OTHERWORLDLY exprience
but ive gotten spoiled by youtube thumbnails 
enot should be the true winner
trueeee
it should have been five pebbles... i would be ok iwth that......
im super disappointed by how much ive gotten spoiled
i wanna finish spearm as quick as possible so i can actually start playing saint
rivulet is a fun char but their speed is not utilized fully in their campaign
if it makes you feel better i got saints ending spoiled because someone on Reddit said “major monk spoilers” instead
saint is monk?!?!?!)
ive seen short descriptions on what MIGHTve been saints ending but i never really saw any images/videos other than like, one
and i didnt know the context at all so as long as i dont know the context then i guess i can still enjoy it somewhat 
i believe what you discover in the campaign is much more important than the ending itself
I got spoiled on saint accidentally because I was watching an unrelated video about slugpups and the guy just randomly did the soiler thing (with no warning)
so as long as you dont get the "minor" stuff spoiled for yourself it still will be enjoyable
What color is saint i forgot
Green (a.k.a. best color)
best colour
oh yeah,, ive seen like 2 youtube thumbnails that just straight up have... someone
im dead serious theres a youtube video out there that is generally about rain world. it has no spoiler warning, and fucking blasts you with saint ending spoilers in the first 30 seconds
I thought saint was purple orange???? My life is a lie
Yeah
never forget 😔
NOOO
Custom colors are a thing, default saint is green though
ah yes i love the videos that go "reasons why you should play rain world" and then "MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!" 2 minutes in
I agree

also ppl are also voting riv for suns not riv themselves so they have that going for em too
Tbh I don't mind getting spoiled if it gets me into a game BUT having spoiler territory be used as the first few arguments is stupid, you should always leave that for last in case everything else DOESN'T convince the person to play it
monk is saint confirmed
spoilers my dude
thanks!
huuh .. i didnt know that was a spoiler my bad
I thought riv's campaign was awesome, it utilizes what I thought was a pretty lame ability very well, before riv's campaign I thought he would be the least interesting of the scugs but after it he was my 3rd favorite scug in dp (and slowly risen to be my second favorite, because of jolly co-op and this tournament)
yeah youre fine, just no dp details generally
i was stressing BADLY when i first started riv
i thought riv would be my fav before i played dp and then they bored me the most i was so sad
same lmao
actually we had a discussion about this in vc on the other server and tbh the problem with dp is that the mod wasnt ready to be official dlc or canon
gourmand was ironically the least spoiled campaign for me because the only thing i got spoiled a bit of was the ending cutscene
Makes sense all thing considered
yeah dp is really just a paid mod with a lot of content
Sucks that that was what you got spoiled on though
honestly yeah it doesnt feel that official, and i dont mean to sound rude but there are definitely design and style inconsistencies in a lot of the cutscenes/art
i am so GLAD at my decision to not watch skurry's rw videos at first
otherwise i would be sucked into the hole of hunter and therefore all of rain world spoilers before playing the game for the first time
tbh it wasnt too bad since i think the ending itself was much more impactful than the cutscene
i always have this mindset where before i buy a costly game i want to find out its gameplay and see if its actually fun and worth it ... and then i accidentally get spoiled of like half of it
or games that i think ill never play/finish so i look at their endings and go like "damn this was cool i wish i found out about it myself" stares at omori
i have yet to play outer wilds, i heard thats another game with a really good but spoiler sensitive story
Please play outer wilds plea
this is why i beat riv ➡️ speary ➡️ saint in three days (after dp came out)
wait did you see it too
Watching anything about rainworld can make spoilers in the most random things
I obviously wanted to watch something about rainworld before I ended up all campaigns
And it was always just fast "go back"
damn i dont know how people beat the campaigns in 3 days
i been anticipating downpour since last april
like sure if you have a lot of time but doesnt it get boring playing a game for hours on end
when i got my hands on dp id regularly have 9 hour sessions
so true
i get tired after a while because i die. a lot
i played literally all day it was Not Healthy
i remember at the peak of my addiction id fall asleep with the game open and wake up and start playing again 😭 it was seriously bad
i don’t know if starting with gourdman was the right choice, but it did mean i took in the new details nice and slow
i did gourmand first
honestly loved the ending
and then after i finish i get smacked in the face by chaos and chaos and chaos
i keep searching messages in this server for references and then accidentally stumbling across the downpour channel and realising too late 
me petting my ruffles before they ... . Win the tournament...............
I've never loved rain world in that kind of way before... not any kind of game, actually
i made like 80 rw artworks april-december in 2022
The game with the most hours I've poured into is Oxygen Not Included, but even then I never find myself playing when I'm about to collapse. Maybe once or twice but I never have been tired enough to sleep in front of a computer before
i think the most addicted ive ever gotten to a game was sky cotl
i have the most hours in stardew
790+ hours in sky 
When did you first start playing?
it started to get stressing and all my friends left so i dont play it that often anymore
Where the fuck are the saint people
Why are we losing so much
i ate them
Ive fallen asleep a few times playing games but mostly because for one reason or another i don't want to fall asleep
rather than for the game
Gone. Reduced to atoms (they were satisfied with saint winning only the second-to-last round and didn't really care enough to keep going, so a good chunk of them either switched to riv or stopped voting altogether)

At least, that's what I heard
this probably wouldn't have happened if nsh won the coinflip.
This has got to be the most anti climactic way to lose
Even worse than a coinflip
if nsh won the coinflip we wouldve gotten to see the chaos of srs vs nsh
Ikr that's what I said too 
Theres a huge iterator fan demographic this vote means jack shit too and as a result a number of people are probably just vague voting
Definitely
Theyd all vote riv for the final round
the coinflip wouldnt have happened if it werent for the vote split between nsh and moon
my most played steam game is gd unfortunately
Moon voters I will not forgive you for making me sit through Rivulet getting away with offing my two faves
Riv is winning this for Moon 
I suppose it doesn't matter in the end, this isn't a competitively fair tournament to begin with and therefore the results are not an accurate gauge of the common, but its nice to be salty when the chat isn't at risk of going up in flames
this tourney consumed 3-4 entire days of my life 2 of which were weekends i shouldn't have joined in the first place
#1102747511279599656 message @hollow saddle the finale

it wouldve been a lot less intense if it was just a tournament of creatures
i keep it down when everyone is looking but everyone is asleep so i get to spew just a little poison
A friend told me today that they think the tournament would be more fair if the votes weren't so situational (tournaments are specifically built to generate the most hype and conflict cuz one v one), and that they believe the ideal popularity vote would involve laying out all of the contestants at once and allowing people to vote for as many as they like
voting saint cuz hes my fav in terms of ability and campaign
hes hella fun to play as honestly, ive wasted hours just fucking around as him, and his campaign,, speaks for itself
i could've gotten like 40usd by now if i didn't waste my time on a stupid tourney about my main hyperfix (commissions
Oh yeah absolutely, this is selection bias where there absolutely doesn't need to be any and is hardly accurate
also destroyed my sleep schedule for this
ant sweep
bubble fruit sweep
my favorite creature: the ant, made of 7 pixels
But yeah this tournament was built to energize and rally the community anyway so I don't really think that anyone would have been able to do anything to change it anyway
bubble tea sweep 🧋
bluefruit sweep when
if we're being honest in a real ass tournament arti, saint, or spearmaster would shred everyone
i should really try to complete spearm asap so i can play saint so that i dont get spoiled any further
Yeah honestly I don't see nsh getting nearly as far in that kind of unbiased tournament
No i mean in a lethal combat exchange
saint would die within 4 seconds, hes cool but he literally gets one hit obliterated by anything, he gets put in the hospital by BATFLIES
Oh lmao of course
Nsh would probably get high in losers bracket if this was a more proper double elimination
slugcat hunger games
maybe even losers champion
Squidcada wins immediately
i have a huge feeling arti would wipe the floor with them
wait are echoes rellated to spearm
(Remember no potential downpour soilers) (i havent played spear yet either so it would be a soiler for me too)
OOPS SORRY !!

Luckily I have no idea what you meant by that and since it would take a lot of effort to process that thought I have decided I am shrimply not going to think about it
erm for saint you actually have to collect and eat every bluefruit in the game ☝️☝️
Scratch that. No thoughts at all. Emptying my mind
the amount of saint spoilers ive seen is unreal
Durr hurr five shartles heehee
saint after he finds out what blue fruit actually are:
mm yes bat fetus
Ive been using slugcat drones as an excuse, reality is if any of the iterators engaged in single mortal combat with anyone besides maybe saint or arti, they would win. Instantly
Recall pebbles ability to just off someone in the span of 3 seconds
moon in mortal combat with survivor:
Gourmand after he finds out what the blueberries actually are:

pre collapse she wouldve been able to pulp survivor all the same
(He is a scug of simple pleasures and does not care)
i find it funny bluefruit still counts towards the monk passage
safari scavenger vs moon and fp
I meant the rot not the blue fruits (but I get what you mean)
gourmand rot mukbang when?
did you know you can use gourmands chonk to kill the rot
And then eat it (yes you can eat dead rot)
yum cancer
mm myes yummy cancer
Good thing cancer isn't contagious like prions (actually scratch that I just remembered rot is contagious but i think its only via injection through the bloodstream or something)
Actually I lied, gourmand not arti
This is due to Saints propensity for [Redacted] and Gourmands ability to [Redacted]
er, spoilers
Is that considered a spoiler for gourmand

Unfortunately yes
Fixed
howd saint shred everyone
Oh yeah!!! I know what you're talking about now!!! Saint uses their powerful tongue and gourmand uses his unstoppable eating powers!!
saint strangling everyone with their tongue
Can gourmand out eat kirby
he just sucks up shit like kirby, the true power of gourmand
I read that wrong
can he though?
"I can't do it... I can't kill you... but THEY can." 👅
WHAT
i love it when i throw my [redacted] at the [redacted] lizard and it [redacted] so the [redacted] lizard [redacted]
there is
a joke
Fortunately I do not know which you mean
im such a big fan poggers life cos
Yeah and you throw it at moon and it pulps her neurons, AND her
Throw what?
it
whats a cos…
epic maffs
Cos stands for the trigonometric function cosine
cosine
Do note i nearly failed college trig even despite giving a shit...
also is your pfp nagito
I never got to learn trig before I graduated high school
Its very funny how i had an easier time with statistics than trif
immediately no longer interested and erasing the word from my memoru
We stopped at uhhhhhhhhhh... what was it... I think it was factoring? No, there was something after that I think
mayhaps.. matchin with somebody ( spoiler its nagito kissing sans from when sans won tumblr sexyman )
kanye west he likes
We currently learning how to calculate chances with lottery numbers
Just give it to me I like math
Im only interested in math as far as it will take me anywhere in a computer science field
The fact that this finale is turning out as boring as the slugpup round
That is sad
i voted for cyan lizard over slugpup
Same
I like working with computers, but i do not have the working memory for raw mental math or even math with a scientific calculator to some degrees...
Its a struggle and I prefer to avoid it if i can
I was thinking about becoming a mathematician but then I realized jobs for that kind of thing was limited to becoming a teacher (blegh)
So im gonna do applied physics instead
there should be a tournament of all the bugs in rain world
Yeah there is
extremely little point in becoming a mathematician outside of academia. They want that math knowledge to be applied, usually to computers or physics
honestly, good job for actually being able to stand math, i tune it out the second i hear it, im much more into english/language arts/writing/ELA whatever the hell they call it,
Squidcada too??? 
TRUE! WATER GLOW WORM SWEEP!!!!
red dragonfly bug SWEEP
Likewise, if you do not have the math, they do not want you for computers or physics.
You begin to understand my struggle with my lifes direction here
honestly, id rather build a computer than actually have to use one and do code n shit, i turn into a 80 yr old grandma the second i hear “zip file”
I don't just stand it, I enjoy it :) I don't like english because when writing in academic settings when I have to write a book report it's either gonna be for a fictional novel (I don't care for fiction novels) or a research paper (I like nonfiction and research but citing sources is a huuuuuuuuge moodkiller)
I like dealing with that though. Even if its hard its enjoyable when things finally go right
WHO WILL WIN
🪰 SOME BLACK PIXELS
or
🐜 SOME BLACK PIXELS
oh VERYY! the rush of happiness when something finally goes your way makes me sometimes love the challenge, thats why i enjoy rainworld too, its a wonderful feeling
Hi history major here, citing sources is easier if you have a database to look through
It would be easier if I could copy paste most of it
whats so fake about this tourmanet
The fact that its votes and not actually competitive competition.
They mean like if they were physically fighting
Well thats the lovely thing is most databases already prepare a formatted citation for your copying. Unless you mean copy text from the source? In which case i just rephrase it and cut out the fluff
is outer wilds actually good
Oh I played a bit of outer wilds, was pretty fun
Ohhh that sounds convenient yeah I think that's what I mean (the first thing you said)
whats it even about, i thought it said “outerworlds” for like a year and i was convinced it was like minecraft
ill talk about it in dms
sweet
just never fully got into it or anything
Yeah, theres also convenient web tools like easybib (corporate as hell tho usually)
its so worth it to play the whole thing
valorous morning!!! time for rivsweep
The easier way I find to write papers up is to, if you can, play off what you KNOW youve been taught or read then find sources to back it up.
RIV DOES NOT DESERVE TO WIN GRAAAGH
Paint
hope this isnt a stupid question but whats a pebisan
this probably wouldn't fly in like, a thesis, but it flies for final projects and papers lmfaooooooooooo
i am biased as i have not played saint campaign
GO LESBIABS
PEBBLES IS A LESBIAN??!!
GO LESBIABS!!!!
lesbian five pebbles
anyways it is 5am and i desperately should sleep. Goodnight chat
Lesbian Five Pebbles?
lesbian pebbles sweep IMMEDIATELY
HECK RIV AND SAINTN, ,, , IT'S LESBIAB TIME
Pebbles returns from the dead solely through the power of "being a lesbian".
And what a power!

fluffy win every time
i cant believe this vote is so one sided 
<- soft
We need a saint come back
The saint propaganda is lacking
We can't let the finale be an anti climactic snoozefest
if riv wins im going to have to write an au where they actually have good lore and story to cope 
but people somehow love riv????
how caj sait lose. sait has tong
its a 2 day long snoozefest
Wader cat
I mean
That isn't the problem
We just can't go down without putting up any fight
Wader cat
i really expected this vote to be much closer 😔
oh sweet I can reuse my saint propaganda
Spoo8ny!!!
SICK TRICKS SAIT‼️
You should all vote for wader car
OMG HE IS SO COOL
TRUE
I need to make more riv propaganda
yall are gonna need to get some damn good propaganda to make me vote riv
im a saiter… but tbf if riv needs propaganda then sait has already won
EVERUON E vote saint for more lesbians
I have more
Look at the votes
holy carp⁉️ is that jetus crest
Yes, the votes with 26 hours remaining.
I just like making propaganda 😞
so far all riv propaganda was "vote riv" like what
WHY vote riv
epic pfp
Thank you.
It is Pansear's "wawa" Saint design, except now within the Backrooms.
help him 
Pansear :)
Bold of you to assume this was not intentional.


HELLO LITTLE BABY
spoilered for flashing imagery
Explain this atheist 💀
The last thing the Rivulet sees before their demise.
also i told yall the unova monkeys were based but nbody believed me
epic to see another fan out in the wildernes…………………….
yall prefer hugging a moist, slimy rat than a living pillow
Sant 
unova monkeys suck im sorry

if saint looses im gonna punch my wall and potentially break my hand
What did the wall do to you
it was built
punch the leg instead
VOTE 4 SWIM CAT!!11!
Blue thing bad
inflict upon it a blue cancer
NO reason to vote fish
I MEANT THE LEG NOT THE CAT
the cat's legs
the ceg’s
RIV IS AT 200 VOTES!!!!!! :D
so fluffy………………
I prefer the soggy car to floof
rigged the riv fans clearly were fabricated by UI
what is UI
oh
Ah yes
User interface, the source of the votes
unpreparalleled innocence its the iterator who leaked fp rot
fabricated by user interface
i genuinely don't know who to vote since those are my 2 favorite scugs
sait is fluffy
Sait is indeed fluffy.
vote saint riv fans have zero reasonings backing up their slug
Why vote a wet whejnyo7ncan votena fluff
flashing image
Caffeinated rat vs. Fluffy frog
make him happy and feel fulfilled in life 
VOTE SAINT VOTE SAIMT
I’m a saim
OMG YOURE SAINT??? UM VITING 6OY
leave the chat green
i return, it is good that rivulet is 50 votes ahead.
actually now that i think about it i will vote riv because the art is riv as scout from tf2 and i main scout so yeah
I'm sorry saint
it was a design choice :(
if it was literally anything else it would've been saint
VOTE RIV!!
i am not immune to propaganda today because i like both of the scugs
YEAAAAH
rain world: downpour
you should vote saint
you should go green
YOU HAVE TO VOTE SAINTTTTTTTTT Go eco save the world
rain world: downpour
go green, its much better for the planet then a wet ass rat that probably smells like sewer water 
rain world
the world of rain
this has truly been.......,...,.. a rain world
No cuz the bouncy ball rolls into the pits and you have to jump in after it
right, that never really happened to me, but also, is it ok to say that here, is it not a soiler?
what are we, some kind of
As long as it isn't specific
look at him doing a silly dance
The bouncy ball could be a bomb for all they know
VITE SAINT OR RHE WORLD WILL ENS

I'll make sure of it
long live water boi
if Sait loses I'mma climb up to G*d Himself n get Him to fuckin smite us all
Scout tf2 funnier than than medic tf2 vote rivulet today
Where he ears at
OH MY GOD TURBINE PLATFORM OC
Too fluffy
Vote rivulet today
true devotion
i love turbine platform
of course :3
my favorite non-material tile
the people that vote rivulet clearly dont like hugs
well maybe except for horizontal thin pipe but that one's so useful it would be kind of cheating
rivulet:
-has HORRIBLE story and lore
-doesn't love you
-will betray or harm you in a heartbeat
-runs away from their problems
-doesn't care
saint:
-has wonderful story and lore
-loves everyone
-will never betray you and is very loyal
-faces their problems head-on
-cares very deeply
I still can't get over Saint losing to Arti, NSH winning to Arti but then Saint winning against NSH
Source
ingame campaigns
their campaigns
rivulet HITS DA BRICKS. saint HAS NO ENEMIES!
Incorrect in many ways then, because Saint would betray you and you know it
saint gives people peace
we love saint vote saint
hidden
Do we REALLY know that it's peaceful though
if you think saint would betray you, you haven't meditated on their actions and why they performed them💚
saint gave me free therapy
Yes
Anyway vote Rivulet, they can ploink and it's very silly
So silly in fact it ended up on their wiki page
ME TOO
saint gives me 28 free therapy sessions every month
with high agility expedition perk saint can ploink too 
I think saints therapy would just end up being [Soilers]
he is too precious for our world
nah that's only if the therapy doesn't work
Ploinking involves water, Saints ability to yeet is similar... but not the same
can you tell why i have a 500 image saint folder. yeah that's my therapy i just look at them and the problems poof
he can ploink with high agility expedition perk 
Yeah but he needs a perk to ploink, rivulet can just do it
(and can yeet at the same time)
VOTE WADER CAT
rivulet can't fly with one bluefruit
saint gets his silly techs too 
vote this adorable creature who loves you very dearly💚
they shouldve added ants to the tournament smh, i understand why they didnt though because if ants were added theyd destroy everyone
Rivulet knows how to throw a spear
yes yes but riv cant yeet at all, saint is able to ploink and yeet, despite him needing a perk to accomplish ploinking, while riv is unable to
WAIT HOLY SHIT TRUE ANTS DO EXIST IN THE GAME
Saint knows not to throw a spear
Saint will never know the true beauty of consuming batfly either
saint does in expedition, he knows expedition is not canon so he only does violence there 💚
they break character
saint doesnt need to throw a spear though, who is superior in that situation
The Saint strived for a future without our suffering, enlightening itself out of compassion and sympathy so that it could one day save us all from this cruel world. It was stuck in a dream, striving for the impossible, and only made everything worse.
It, however, realized this. it took to its failures and flaws and did not strive to reverse them, but to move away from them and improve. It become flexible, adaptive, and fluid. Smooth and agile like the water in a stream. And it strived not for a dream, but for happiness. And it begun spreading such love and wisdom.
The Saint showed me the struggles, the suffering, and taught me how to react to it. It will lead you aswell.
Vote for The Saint.
If you bring up expedition one more time I'm gonna send a pipe bomb to you in a dream ‼️
he's just allergic cmon man
THIS THIS THIS
I used the perk once and the sound glitched and only played half of it
It is literally a gunshot sound with a weird ding noise played over it
technically saint knows the beauty of consuming batfly
looks at blue fruit
:0 it's still goin?
He's vegan not allergic
oh yeah saint isnt vegan and eats batfly pupa
He has a spasm whenever he eats meat I think he's allergic
he eats BABYS
his stomach cant handle the meat 💔
Rivulet? Yes
i actually like saint im just biased because i havent played saint yet 
have you seen what happens when he DOES eat batfly?
yeah he's just allergic
It isnt a baby yet tho he's eating an egg
Making yourself spiritually allergic is not NORMAL
every slugcat (except spearmaster) eats babies your honor saint isn't unique for it
no no the allergy came first
Scout tf2 sweep please we need scout tf2 to win
WE NEED THE MEDIC
FISH WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO WALK ON LAND AND SWIM AT THE SAME TIME!
Source
ghost
Saint told me themself
We walk and swim though
And fly
And go to space
Good thing rivulet isn't a fish and is a wet mouse then
who will protect heavy if we dont have medic
Alr im goin to #downpour-spoilers we got time
when this tournament ends i can imagine rivulet x saint becoming super popular
we INVENTED equipment for that. rivulet got it in its STARTER PACK!
enemies to lovers
but nah nah Saint is mine
Demo will 
Wait hold on... WHERES MY DANCING SQUID?!
reigen x sans flashbacks
Please for the love of god no more ships it's just been ships nonstop
it became part of the squid long wings
We don't need equipment to swim tho
Just the other stuff
That's why sait is bad B)
cope and seethe
my life probably would have been much better if i didnt find out this existed
doesnt even need to be romantic they can be really good buddies
i still see saint as aro anyway
The rivulet starter pack is
Be fast
Be epic
Save lives
Be even faster
Ploink
Get adopted by a robot
Enjoy life
No way I've been scammed to vote for saint
our one is demiro & ace so yes
what rhw spruce
"I can see my base from up here!"
Yknow what? In changing teams. I can't believe yall can play with a human heart like that

Yeah that's fine I just think it's creepy when people force characters into unrealistic relationships like barbie house dolls
What happen
i believe i was missing some context
we never betrayed the hunter
we never wished for violence against nightcat
we never intended harm against the iterators
what we did intend was to defeat the rivulet
they have been sweeping for a very long time now
if the rivulet was there it's likely been an unfair match
their popularity is immense and terrifying
we cannot risk anything against them
we must work together
we must vote against the rivulet
we must stand against the rivulet
we must
Was bribed to vote saint last round for a dancing eldritch god
RIV SWEEP
damn...
This dude in particular:
If it wasn't rivulet to sweep then it would have simply been another and you would have still complained... but alas someone winning every poll they enter is the norm of a tournament otherwise there would be no finalists
riv killed a child and a cancer patient this competition what else do you need to know to vote saint
Why are we posting nyarlathotep
im boutta convert to hollow knight after this tournament
we are not "complaining" we are scared for our lives
nuh uh rivulet is a very boring choice
i personally think ships are fine as long as its not something super random or extremely romantic (theyre literally animals), but i understand tbh 
Vote rivulet today they will legalize crac so people can also be high as hell
Okay so if hunter sweep happened I would envision people saying the same thing that it's boring bc hunter is a fan favorite LOL
shipping is a little TOO popular in this discord
I was promised a dancing nyarlathotep if I voted for saint. Apparently got scammed >:[
Sait killed srs though, I'm voting riv
Also that child had it coming
sait did NOTHING to us srs voters sait now peacfully lives in the city of sol
some ships are so random as well lol
Why not
Shipping discourse is gonna make me bang my head into the wall every time it happens here.
It's a harmless thing that many acknowledge doesn't and isn't meant to follow canon or reason past someone going "I like this and think it's cute".
you cant scroll 10 messages in dp art gallery without seeing a ship
I'm still having a hard time trying to complete a comission relating this topic. It's absolute hell
I'm shipping the flies in the background with the rot and no one can stop me
shipping is it really is a philosophical debate tbh
Yall should know I don't draw love, I draw terror
i can draw love 
the last time 10 in a row messages didnt reference or include a ship was three days ago
Draw love.
Apologies, I was unaware of a Saint-SRS alliance being formed
i need a prompt!!!!!!
i love timezones
Love between fp and nsh (first names that came out of my brain)
There isn't because sait killed srs
FYI complaining about people posting harmless shit they enjoy makes you look annoying 
Poleplant and monster kelp ship
