Yes. I meant that since the beginning it is in favor of their team in terms of amount of ppl presumably
Maybe active people rather than just any people overall
That's unknown
at this point we're just fighting for the second and third place
it doesn't feel like fighting tbh
it's kinda stagnant
yeah, forest has gotten all the golds..
Even then - wasteland dominates all silver
Forest dominates overall and gets all golds
Praire and valley... Have their own game of who gets more, they're equal xd
Forest on the top
Wasteland on second (we've gotten silver and bronze)
and poor valley and prairie 😔
I was hoping for more dynamic to happen
my friend said apparently in the CN servers tho that wasteland is winning, so at least we're getting the golds in an alternate sky universe xD
how do we know if one team has more players???
long live wasteland! hahah
No real proper way as there is no data but scores and reactions
According to all of them tho forest has more
Either just more active players or just players
Probably the proper way to set it up would be to give a bit more players overall to loosing teams, so that for example out of 10 newcomers there would be
4 for praire, 3 for valley, 2 for wasteland and 1 for forest.
Problem with this approach - there will be physically more players on loosing side however it may look as if there is actual competition and it will mostly have more similar scores
It still isn't perfect but solves a problem with one team initially getting more actually active players
I mean for example imagine if there is currently 1000 in each team however
80% of them are active in one
70% in other
And down to 40% in last two. This approach would artificially increase numbers overall of the last two teams but overall should give approximately similar amount of active players which will overall give similar results across all the teams
Honestly the whole tournament idea was a bad one in my opinion because it is just going to bring negativity to the community, especially when the scores seem so disproportional
Like they all tout community and togetherness and then put in an event where you are working against other players. If you are going to make an event where there are winners and losers that is just asking for people to be discouraged and angry idk
Personally I think this would have been fine if the team assignments weren't... like this. Either way I think this is a great opportunity to look at our feelings about the event. (And maybe see how our friends are behaving, and see if that sheds light about their character.)
these scores are so unballanced i no longer think its rigged, if it truly was rigged then they wouldnt make it so obvious if it was
I'd say players has a lot of variables that affect the scores
if they have another one like this I hope it was about working together to reach a similar goal
So we can work together instead of against each other
Something similar to how we had to complete the rainbow puzzle in 8 player area in Prairie would be cool! 
There is no proper way to distribute people to all 4 teams absolutely equally in a situation like this. However artificially giving more players to the loosing sides would probably fix the insane gap there is between teams in terms of score. It wouldn't be appropriate in a sense that physically more people will be in one team but it would be in a sense of their average score they give to team being similar to others so that it would feel competitive and kinda fair-ish as we as players anyways have no idea about how much people actually are there in each team
Many other games are like this with their tournament, there are of course negativity coming from it
I feel like tgc uses a similar recipe as other games.
The games themselves are awesome!
but the scoring system can be improved.
they couldve done some kind of "prioritise sorting players into the current smallest team" thing
Like even though there is no prize for winning, if the scores are so unbalanced then there is going to be discontent. When i was in highschool we had a similar event where each year got a seperate team and we competed in different events through the year. Every year the seniors (except one where we all thought it was staged so that they could say seniors didn’t win every year) won and it caused resentment about it every single year. Everyone said that we were essentially competing for second place. This kind of feels like its going to be analogous to that situation
Read what I wrote above. Basically that xd
I've watched the skyfest about how to handle toxicity in community
avoiding negative feedback and all
including player's frustration
it's hard for the devs too, but I hope they can find a good mix that could make everyone happy (which is hard, but possible)
Another thing I think would be interesting to have - two different kind of scores with one being for the best time overall for a race for example
It also depends on what people view as a toxic and what would be criticizing with proper advices
how some people talk about the team forest is toxic imo 
I think sky is the most wholesome community
the point system so far is just causing frustration and discontent
remove the limit for daily point contribution for your team? there is nothing you can do individually to help your team beyond 3 points. and that's so minimal why bother
Everything I wrote here may seem as toxic by some people as it is kinda calling tgc bad at how it was organized
The things I can see happening from this though, is that the teams that now have more players will easily get more points and the team that was winning will no longer have the chance to catch up
it's would basically be saying "it's unfair how you're winning, so we're going to up the competition so you have no chance to win" if that makes sense. I just don't see this specific idea working out as it defeats the fairness in the first place since the 'winning' and 'losing' roles would just switch and the problem would start all over. 
I feel like it needs more consideration with how it was organized
because people are hard to predict. And now we are in a situation where it should've had more dynamic going on, but then the scores went stagnant in the first days
I don't think it'll change in the next few days until something happen
Explanation as to why I view this as a solution
If there is 10000 people in each team but random threw it the way that one team has only 50% users being active and giving score while other team got lucky and 80% of their users are doing the same
This way it's technically 8000 against 5000. However by artificially increasing unlucky team numbers - there may be a more proper balance of active players between both teams
is there gonna be like a rewards ceremony at the end or something or is the decorated stadium just for show?
It is not perfect, it is flawed, however it may work here
loopholes can be abused and if it can be abused then it probably will
like the white candle situation
Everything can be abused lol
we don’t really know since if i remember right nothing was said in the blog except „ending ceremony“ or so
we’ll get 5 tickets that day but not what you asked 
This doesn't consider in the fact that those inactive players can easily go active again which is the biggest flaw I'm sure you might be aware of 
This system included, you spam alts and then if alt gets into team you don't want to win you just don't compete on that account while winning on those alts that are with the team you want to be the best
And any system can and probably will be abused like that
I'm not proving you wrong or anything
but the solution offered are more of a temporary fix, it can work yes, but how wel it can work before another problem arises I honestly don't know
I just hope devs figure it out soon
Yes. It is not meant to be the best solution. It is meant to be system that balance it out eventually
Honestly i think the devs are just going to let it ride, i don’t see them fixing anything in this event unless they bring it back next Olympics
You can also give players with lesser average time in game to winning team and people with higher time to loosing ones
I'm hoping for something to happen in the second half of the tournament
which is...
merely a hope.
Ah yes. People forget how the best way to test is to push to prod to make people complain and argue about how it's done. Testing on real people instead of testers which they have
Valid its just the they seem to be very slow to implement bug fixes (this is not bashing i don’t know how fixing bugs work) so i doubt they would be fixing something in less than a week
the only time they rush bug-fixes is when its "important" stuff like season quests not working
Fixing bug - depends on which kind. Some can be done in seconds, some are harder to fix. But not to the extent of how tgc broke gramma and it is still not fixed
another game I play uses a "weighted point" system
say if you are in a 4th, 3rd, 2nd place you get a bit of point boost
it gives a dynamic to the game. the points you can get are limited, you get it by doing tasks, some are harder than others and the list of tasks is decently long and has a lot of variety but lasts for a week.
Then it slowly turns into tgc making one team win xd
Yeah thats what i mean, like this is just people complaining about how they feel about the scoring system which is not a function issue with the event. This is why i do not see it being fixed in this iteration of the event
how if I may ask? /genq
By pushing their scores to be worth more and then say "woopse, miscalculation"
I'm not sure that's how it works
it seems to work fine with the other game I played
I'm not saying it should be implemented in this tournament, maybe the next one in the future
isnt it weird that everyday the podium is the exact same?
it may be more balanced
what podium?
of the games
I'm not sure
do you mean the score podium?
Do you mean who is winning what medals?
or is it a visual bug of mine? because everyday it appers that the left game is 3rdvalley, 2wasteland,1forest, and the right one is 3rd praire, 2nd wasteland and 1 forest
yeah, the team medals
Nope not a visual bug
Thats just how the scoring is, the only change has been from the first day every day since has been the same pretty much
Not a bug, just that the same amount of people play everyday, and the same amount of points (on average) are earned everyday
I wonder if something was wrong in the inner workings
I feel bad for the forest team as well because people are getting frustrated and seem to direct their frustration at team forest
like cheating accusations or being rigged, I just think the tournament should've been fun for everyone instead of chasing numbers
dodge this! -throws valley team banner at you-
I think they expected the teams to be 1/4 each
But RNG cannot be predicted, and we got forest having more members
And hi fellow Rai 
yeah yeah , i just try to play the games and i actually have fun with just that, it just seemed weird to me in the oh, what a strange detail 🧐way
i really love that all the games are race-coded, my fav activity in sky is just running around in the valley races
Are the earnable medals different from the 2 that spawn on the sides of the leaderboard daily?
I've finally done well in speedskate!
Trick is to focus on making your own course!
Other people are sort of distracting, just go on your own pace and you'll do well!
I got gold medal there
There's always the 2 daily ticket medals there to pick up, those aren't counted from the 25 game tickets
ooo i love speedskate
I love the Crab race
me too!
People can't cheat with candles if they're a crab!
ahsha i always use the speed in crab form right at the end and get stuck in a rock
Hello. Is there a way to know how many people is there in each team of the Olympics Sky event?
I don't think so?
What the shards see after they drop from Eden
i havent been to the seasonal area since the aurora concert, is the 2nd quest doable now without crashing?
I would be more interested in a statistic (after the event of course) about how many players in each team participated. I have 4 active friends in the wasteland team and only one is actually trying to get points. The others just don't care. So even if every team has the exact same amount of active players, the result depends on how many want to participate in the event.
Yes, it’s fixed now
How have we not yet gotten a ts hint for August. ASH said they were still doing it right?
i cant wait for this competition to be over, wheres da candle? lol
TGC employee Ash is back with crazy hints in gen chat (note: only about 2 days before TS arrival) and we noticed the location hints at the beginning of month are not posted yet. These two don't necessarily exclude each other, but the location hints started when Ash didn't post funny hints, and now crazy hints are back - this might explain what's happening.
Yeah, however Ash said the reason she posted those hints is because it wasn’t August yet
It seems to imply the visual hints are still happening, it’s just taking more time than usual
Is there a way to do a 20-candle run without relying on the grandma and geyser events? im doing this to get enough candols for the ts cape
probably but after 15 is a slog, every corner? isle caves
I can do 15 candles just fine (turtle event + daily realm + treasure candle realm + Hidden Forest if treasure candle or daily realm is in Wasteland)
But I need 36 candles to get the cape in 2 days 
Geyser works fine, as well as Turtle (Sunset Event) , so those 2 (you can combine Turtle with CR at Sanctuary) can help. Same as black shards the days they're available
sigh... guess I'll have to do geyser then 
Not really a fan of it tbh
Turtle is fine tho
I’m doing the treehouse ancester quest line and I don’t have enough friends online 
A couple of ransoms joined then ditched me before it completed
You can ask for teammates in #looking-for-group-live
Sorry it happened to you 
Ok thanks
treasure reef for clams
Watching my own team carry each other— never got a race done so quickly
I second the suggestion of doing treasure reef for the clams. But if you are only doing what’s in the list in your comment, you’ll probably need to do more realms. To get 20, I have to go through every realm, do all the races in Valley, music sheet in harmony hall, and get some extra areas (wind paths, candle cake in starlight, etc). If you do trials, you can forgo some of the smaller areas.
I'll keep those in mind, thanks 
I used to do Grandma as part of my daily candle run, but since she broke I've been having to do the geyser instead to make up the wax. Otherwise I don't use up all my chevrons with the daily quest realm + candle cake realm
chevrons?
Is there a schedule of the red shards?
Wait what is turtle event?
You already got answered in #questions-and-help

Bruh i jus t witnessed a pair of prairie piggypacking in wingsuit i am so done 💀
the day grandma comes back, the pasties will be raining from the sky
You can just turn off your internet, finish the race and still get Gold
literally and figuratively
along with all the lost plushies
Thank you)
yes thinking now all the golds are game closers
So I have a question about the seasons- when this season ends how long will it be until a new one is released..? And do we yet know what the next season is..?
It’s usually a 2-3 weeks break between seasons
And no, we don’t know which ones next yet unless announced in #news 
next season is likely the moomin one that was already announced for this fall.
Speculation at this time however
Breh wassup w the red team tho
I’m out here trying 👉🏼👈🏼 but alas
bruh i'm losing my mind, i've done speed skate 5 times and it has yet to spawn enough players to earn a gold medal
just keep going up and up and I’m like
we staying low ig
at this point i'm tempted to just take the silver and leave it at that 💀
nah it's legit just a battle for second place at this point, i feel like forest has pretty much secured first lol
even tho it doesn't matter who wins in the end
But
is like a flipped crab
imagine if they reset the total medals for the second phase 
Here’s hoping lol we need a second wind 💨
Though would be weird if they did
I know it doesn’t matter lol just sad to see when I go and see defeaaat 
yeah it would be odd but half of me kinda hoped they do reset it lol
the one time it spawned enough people for a gold, i came in second by one freaking point.... still stuck with silver after 6 or 7 attempts 
Can just turn off internet and finish by yourself, you're still gonna get Gold
i'd rather not do it like that, feels cheap
Understandable
plus it's not quite that easy to disable internet on the fly on ps5
Fair enough
at least not as far as i'm aware 
From Sky instagram, Moomin is confirmed fall 2024 season
Gonna go insane, I’m so excited for the sky x moomin season…. 
Dunno, I don't see it on their IG 
Ah no wonder, it's an older post
Cool, so like by the last few months of this year 
huh tell me more

How did I get silver in this scenario lmao
Need 3 players for Gold
I mean pretty much what I said. When you start a race or whatever with two other people you can just turn off your internet and finish
Optionally you can also turn it back on after some time and it'll probably have split you from your competitors but it's still gonna count them as present

is it just me or does the vault scorekeeper role look incredibly similar to the tgc staff color? i keep getting confused lol
2 players no gold
Do yall know where the hot spring is in triumph ?
https://sky-shards.pages.dev/en by Plutoy
Tysm!
just fly above in straight line the moment you slide and enter in the village of dreams, you'll see
Well once again i spent my time and effort for nothing
Welcome to the loop
Did the other players disconnect or?
sometimes it'll just start the event with you by yourself, happened to me 2 or 3 times earlier
Oh yeah I know, happens to me constantly (waste of my time). It's hard to get a 3 player lobby
yeah, it's annoying. i was so close to just giving up and settling with a silver medal for the day
luckily i managed to get a 4 player lobby when i decided it would be my last attempt
So real
I wonder, has anyone else other than me managed to get 44 Fragments in Speedskate?
closest i've gotten was 40 last time speedskate was here, haven't been able to get it again
Wingsuit warped me to finish after it barely started, and somehow gold got 7/14 while I only got 2/14.
Ah nice! I think I managed to get 44 around twice
They just didn’t appear at all
Ah yeah that happens rather frequently unfortunately and even worse there is no quick way of going straight back to the Coliseum (besides not collecting anything and waiting for the game to disqualify you or by going home)
And doing multiple replays dont give me additional points i stuck with 2/3
Yeah you'd need Gold to get the last point
Dang, torch is underwhelming. I was not expecting it to not open up spirit gates and not having auto aim at lightable interactions
Did you check the leaderboard to see if it really only counted 2 points? Pretty sure I remember people saying that a visual bug can happen where it says 2 instead of 3
That thing can't even burn darkness, only light candles and lanterns 
Well tbf no prop can burn darkness
I waited till the points show and then checked at arena
I reopened game again right now and it still 2/3
Think the same happened to someone earlier as well. For them it was because the third player left while they were still in the bubble at the end
I got all my weekly tickets and according to how annoying it was to replay all these 6 days
Ill probably stop doing replays
I saw that yesterday
I even got gold medal spell and in a few seconds after… i got silver spell
Yeah, same thing happened to another earlier. It's because the third player left
But, I got 44
I genuinely have not seen it, i looked everywhere around and there was not any other
I took a specific route around the Rink to get 44
Hmm
Take a look at this:
Is that a guaranteed route?
Yes, I've been using it everytime I do Speedskate
Good to know 
That's approximately what i did hehe
Could the 44 cap be for a specific platform? 
Oh nevermind 
This has to be a bug of some sort. I found the principle difference between what we've been doing, and skipping this particular light on lap 1 makes it 44 
Wah!
at this rate the forest tower will reach the top of their banner 😂
what happens then?
Into space we go!
With how much time there's still left in the tournament I've been wondering if the pedestals are supposed to reach the flame platform.
I'll see you all in the tournament! I'll be the one trying to play the cello while competing

Anyone here can teleport me and a friend to Aurora concert? ;u; We'd be most thankful
try asking in #looking-for-group-live

would someone get banned for no cape?
Capeless? No
depends on the manner of them having no cape
Only if you see them flying normally because that'd mean they are hacking
if done through game-bugs they shouldn't be able to fly because they're essentially between life and death
the only way capeless s'kids can "fly" is through running into clouds, otherwise that's suspicious
there is a bug you can do with friends to see them capeless (and they can fly cause they do have a cape still)
but if a random capeless is flying then thats not normal
I wanted to try capeless on the little statue of your character from last season ulti to show off robes
i dont know if capeless actually shows up on the nesting ult 
regardless of your wedges it always has 1 so it might do that with a capeless too, either bugged or true capeless
How do I get 3/3 on speed skating?
win gold
Is good 👍 don’t stress
Yeah I gave up haha
No money or advertising deals after games lol
I got 3 on wingsuit fluke
So don’t really count but
Same
It does show as capeless if you place it as capeless, and if you try it on you’ll just keep your cape
I just did the second quest and we are all at the stage with a bunch of others. Is there some kind of performance? Do we need to keep waiting?
Nothing will happen if you keep waiting. tgc is likely preparing for a future quest, we do not know. 
TYSM!
lovely, all I have to do now is figure out how to go capeless
Lose all your wings, but lose the last wing at home/aviary. In the moment just before that wing breaks, you have to enter a portal, use return shrine or enter your nest. If you time it right you’ll be capeless until you Restart or enter home/aviary
Getting on to try, golden wasteland until I'm low light and then drown in aviary until last wing is about to break?
If you want to be capeless in your nest, you can drown in the water just before the entrance. Else old home would be a better option, with the water and less people who try to get your wing back
appreciate it
for team! gold skater! good game other players
You have to move your team up the leaderboard, then it counts 
When will shattering spirits return
No one knows when things will happen in Live
Any Live announcements will be made in #news!
Thanks for your help! Took a while to lose the light.
The two lanterns in the stone look like two kissing fish
Lmao
Tfw you want to try out the new torch for cr but almost every area you go into is immediately server merged to lit candles 
my biggest regret is didnt get that lil figurine from nesting season😭😭
I would like to adopt animals in sky like the little prince with the fox, leves of trust... and them can give you light if you pet lil face
Cats, pandas, dogs, parrot, owl, horse, rabbit, wolf, ferret... and also water ones like axolot, turtle. You also can left them on nest 2nd floor and if you want go with your cat in adventures have to go to your nest and pick it up with a harness
That would be a cool season
#live-feedback ! now i want a light axolotl,,
I want weapon back items
WHAT. Torch can burn urchins. No wonder urchins didn't count for the "melt 10 darkness" daily; the urchins are just reskinned bonfire balls.
Makes sense, they have the same physics too
Don’t worry Prairie, I finally figured this one out
Which portal is this??
isle of dawn
Tysm!!! 🤍
go all across straightish up on ledge in clouds you will see entrance
Thx!!
Technically the bonfire balls are reskinned urchins XD
Yk smth I've noticed is that almost every moth's first cosmetic is the yellow cape from butterfly charmer lol
It's like a cannon event haha
since this season's spirits are not actually spirits but clothing stands/mannequins what will happen when they come back as TS?
Shattering was the first one without the usual spirit form and devs had said they can return. They haven't tell how, but they can return.
The same can happen for revival and nesting seasonal cosmetics
Tbf it's one of the cheaper ones so understandable
heh can't wait for shattering's TS the cosmetics are sick
I was off the game during those seasons tho. This one is my first with no real spirits
Yeah I knoww but it still makes me smile...it's cute
I have two questions!
-
Which one was the season of revival? Can you name the location and give a brief description? I wanna check if I've completed the quests or not since I just started playing in March 😅
-
What can a nesting ts bring with itself? Furniture or like the iap outfit as a gift?
Is it confirmed shattering ts will come later this month?? Do you know which one?? Cuz I have like 5 candles after buying the mask, hair & cape from mellow musician 😭
1- Revival is the one with Hopeful Steward in Aviary. It's now new player's tutorial
2- TS only brings item they offer when their season is active, you can check wiki to see list of the things they offer
We haven't got any hints for this month yet, so it's safe to say we don't know who's coming yet
could be anyone from any season
The current steward's nodes are just previous seasonal quests right? Was it the same when revival was ongoing? Or did ya'll have different quests from the steward??
Ooo...tbh I've been watching so many ts videos on yt and all of them are either saying shattering will return or a group of 4 spirits will come 😭😭 sometimes I lowkey beef with beta players ngl
Back then we had 10 quests, now only 9 (I heard they merge the second quest with enchantment spell shop one but I could be assuming wrong)
Reminder to be careful cuz most of it can either be leaks, hacks or beta info, and we're not really allowed to discuss it in the live channels
Nothing is confirmed until #news lights up
So it wasn't any different at all?? You guys also had to just complete all the previous season quests?
Okkk I'm make sure not to violate the rules! Sorry
Well older players would just have those quest instantly completed if they've already done it before Revival. And while it's not really necessary if you don't mind not having any shop restored, we kinda have to finish up till quest 8 back then to join the firework show
The firework show on the 1st of every month ryt?
Niicee! I'll check out wiki for the revival cosmetics but thank you so much for your time! 
The mods told me to 'be good,' but then they went to Aviary village without me... I’ll show them that i know how to behav-iary 
Yup, tho before this it's an actual event that has cosmetic (well the event preparation part that is)
Glad I'm making sense at least haha 
Also, skybot, you keep breaking in to qnh with your random quotes, you sure you're behaving 
Anyone know what the deal is with the concert hall? It acts like there will be a performance but no countdown clock
No announcement for now
guys what is this ultimate gift on the season's constellation?
did season of nesting had those?
Did season of Nesting have ultimates? They did yes
Does anybody have the link to that website that shows you all the sky spirits and let's you mark down which spirits & cosmetics you already own??
I had the link but I lost it I think😅

What happens if I go Eden when it resets in 1hour at reset and I’m still in? Do the statues only reset half ? 🥹
It'll count as next week's if you haven't reached colleced the ac in orbit by reset
Huh, still no august ts hints
~~maybe no post because weeken...
wait they posted the CWT no
~~
Isn't the ts hint revealed a week before the ts arrives???
🤨
Is the Duets second quest still bugged for people? I’ve been waiting to do it since I heard there were bugs/crashes.
No, it's the two blurry pics of the ts areas
Oh they are released at the beginning of the month??

"Greeting skykids, ready to die?"
So.... question. Is the Cellist mannequin supposed to turn and watch where you go?
They want our money (no it's not normal at all)
I waited so long to die!
God that sounds depressing
It's a common issue in a lot of games, mannequins are just reskinned player/npc models
Even the pianist with the gray clothes sometimes look at you when you enter from their side of the backstage
Iiiinteresting, okay, yeah I couldn't find anything when I looked it up so I was a touch confused 😂
I want to see the piano staring
That is incredibly creepy
tgc forgot to disable the head function on the npc 
The pianist one stops looking at you after you enter, but the cellist is literally making you aware that it's haunted 
It is functionally a re-dressed sky kid model, and sky kid models are rigged to make eye contact.
All the mannequins are. Even the stone one you can get from the Nesting Challenge board.
So you're saying that the furnitures might be sentient too?
Time to pack up and leave
Let me tell you, the last place I expected to find video game hauntings was in Sky 
Well, it was especially evident during Season of Revival. The invisible models wearing the seasonal cosmetics would perform the kneeling animation to bestow blessings.
Oh.. I wouldn't know, I started recently
AND the Runaway AURORA mannequin in the Valley Coliseum is notorious for snapping to attention at passing players. That was two years back!
It's all good, just consider it a free history lesson about times long past.
I accept this knowledge, O Wise Veteran
Omg wild. Well at least there's my mystery of the evening solved, thanks everyone!

#seasons-events-chat message - Relive the Saluting Protector Spirit easily and safely by Christian
Almost forgot about this
Oh my god you’re actually a life saver thank you so much
still last place in the tournament, go prairie
I only wanted the torch so I’m happy
Yes she did that to me the other day and freaked me out 
(Copying this over from my initial message in Cozy chat, since it may help other players.)
There's actually some spirits' memory quests (and other activities) that can help for players who want to improve on their Tournament performance!
Twirling Champion - Memory quest is functionally the same as Speed Skate, even using the same level of the Valley's Ice Rink!
Rallying Thrillseeker - Gathering airborne fragments of light, albeit over long distances, this spirit's memory quest is good to train for Void Gather, Cloud Collect, AND Wingsuiting. The Wingsuiting activity is all about careful energy consumption, and reliving the Thrillseeker's memory may be an adequate challenge depending on your wedge count.
Manta Whisperer - Another option to train for Void Gather, Cloud Collect, and Wingsuiting. You follow a fragment of light as it zips around the Valley Citadel, and you must not only be fast enough but also careful enough to not crash into the crowded structure.
Passage of Reliance - This activity happens to take place in the same level as the Rain Race, and similarly stresses intentional maneuvering with little to no light.
(Sadly the only thing that could help train for the Crab Race is the crab spell inflicted upon players for 2023 Days of Mischief. Key word being "inflicted" as it was never one that could be added to a player's spell inventory, so yay for time-locked training opportunity...)

Red shards are better practice for the collect races
Yes, but that's only possible if there is a red shard.
Taking advantage of events and spirits means you can practice over and over on non-red shard days.
Hello Mr. Spirit. Waiting your turn on the bird bridge? 😂
Help how did that spirit get there
there's another one on the other side!
on the bird bridge? 
About the Bird Bridge in Sunny Forest by Kion
#questions-and-help message
Somehow an event meant to be restricted to the NetEase version of the game (which most Chinese players of Sky are on), made its way to the global version (the one we play on and this server is meant for).
Due to lack of any official announcement, we can presume it to be a glitch. But it is one that has persisted for at least three years now. I first saw it in summer of 2022, the same year I started playing Sky.
So a glimpse of history! Very neat. First time I've seen it occur on a candle run
i highly doubt “it’s meant to be restricted to the netease version and made its way to the global version” they are two different games and tgc just added it. you could ask support about this
and it can’t really be a glitch since they had to have added it, otherwise it wouldn’t be there
Is netease version the Chinese version? Sorry if it's a silly question
From the source you provided:
The bridge is a part of the event from Netease (China) server but somehow made it here
yes! netease is separate to the global version we play and it’s limited to mainland china
it’s not managed by tgc but by someone else but it’s basically sky for china 
doesn’t mean it’s a glitch… as said you can ask support about this little event 
That's so cool, that would explain why they have seperate events too 
magpie the reactions are incredible rude in my opinion for your information, please don’t react to me with those. (yes even if you delete them the next second)
I may be on Team Forest but I'm not gonna throw away my medal if it turns out to be silver. Just some advice.
yah it’s very cool! if you are further interested you could read a bit in the wiki about the netease version of sky! https://sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/NetEase 
I'll give it a read rq, thank you for the help 
whoaaa
Sorry, I really overreacted. I shouldn't have been so passive-aggressive over a simple disagreement about something we players can't verify.
You know, it actually makes me wonder if the exact opposite has ever happened.
If a Global event wiggled its way into NetEase at any point. 
Total hypothetical but can you imagine being a NetEase player and seeing the Days of Style runways cropping up randomly during candle runs but no spirits or mini closet shrine in sight?
truly nothing ruins my motivation more than being stuck in a three person server and the other 2 are white candle piggybacking for the forest race 
same, the first day was entirely just people 'cheating' so i never do any races now, i just do the other game and give a half effort for the daily
or worse, you're stuck with 4 others piggybacking and you're the only one on your team
ok hear me out. does anyone find it suspicious that we're having so many red shards this week and last week... like it just dawned on me to stop spending my ac cuz this is getting sus
the shards are on a schedule, its not in preparation for something 
https://sky-shards.pages.dev/ sky shards by plutoy is helpful to know when/where they happen
I FINALLY GOT MY PIC
OORAH 🗣️ 📣 🔥
aye i completed it for the first time
I'm slightly confused here. How do I read these thingies?
bronze - 1 point
silver - 2 points
gold - 3 points
the star/sparkle icon is total points collected
Oooohhhh ok ty!
Do the ones on the door/stone thingie indicate current position? I feel like that's what the set on the left indicate
I think they indicate the current positions for each of the two races respectively for today; a real time daily scoreboard
the one next to medi circle to the race? i think that'd be total points for the day (tho not sure if it adds the one before this)
I guess that makes sense...I think
idk it's 6am and my brain ain't braining so good rn 
Holy crap, does the tournament candle looks useful.
The torch? It's not that good
It's slow and it's handheld
It can lit candles easier since you don't have to pull it out.
And it doesn't deactive on flight.
You can hold it in hand but several times slower than the fire pot Assembly season guide (which has about medium speed)
Also, it extinguishes itself in rain. ^^;
That's a neat detail-
All fire props do, unfortunately
Not the Sunlight torch from what I know.
from days of sunlight? do you have a picture? i only remember the lantern which afaik doesn’t recharge you
Okay, now I found out that it burnt out against strong wind.
:/
Still a good light source, tho.
ahhhh do you have it? i dont think it recharges 
the handheld lantern does not recharge.
Hi tib 
No, but me wishes it.
hi tib! and hi ash!
have you tried the eden bug (the spirit one?)

Not yet, gonna do it later today. I woke up past reset and wasted a week 
how am i only just learning that crab fields doesnt actually require the spirit barrier? theres a pipe literally just above the normal entrance that takes you there without any spirit wall waiting
I tried using it in my Eden run... 0/10 would not recommend 
Tell me more 
Is anyone know where to report about bug on iOS
I just can’t find where to do this 
Thank you 
there is a bug in orbit which makes a spirit or wl with cape appear on the constellation platform. (the bug is actually a few weeks old even a few months i believe) the spirit or wl with cape (both light or dark) stands between the mask closet and the hair closet so in the middle. to make it spawn you have to call down an elder (after getting a const 100%) and then go into their const, maybe you have to tap one of their ults to make it appear. i recorded it and put it here if you wanna see
#eden-spoilers message
I'm about to reach orbit now, i want to see that 
Oh my gosh this is a LIFESAVER 😭🙏🙏🙏
YOURE ON PS5 AHHHHHH YES
ah... great 
holy smokes
... Did I then see you on my Eden run? 😆
Most likely not because I was playing with a couple of friends and we were the only ones in that server
I pretty much looked like a red warrior with an Isle Elder Mask. 🤭
I was wearing the 9 Colored Deer ult cape + Herb Gatherer's outfit + Hunter's hairstyle + Isle Elder mask during that run
Although one of my friends during that run was wearing a red tournament cape + Isle elder mask + Tinkering Chimesmith's hairstyle 
Also he has a discord acc but you're definitely not him unless he has a second discord profile that I do not know of
Oh, then I saw someone else with the torch.
But yeah, that thing might look handy, but it really isn´t, kind of like a star-lamp. 😓

that looks terribly menacing... 
hm, thank you I got an idea
instead of aviary, i'm imagining a gloomy forest trail
that makes me think, imagine if the realms had different weather patterns (sticking withing their "times" though)
foggy forest, sandstorm wasteland, sunshower prairie (the non draining kind), blizzard valley
it'd be so cool
before anyone reacts with
i already have
guys, the tournament torch can help in eden o.o
I asked the Valley Elders for a spot on Team Valley and they gave me a position as janitor 
hello tgc office
It's kind of an hassle because it keeps being light out and you need to put it away and pull it again
it helps before the point of no return when you get accidentally hit
big hitbox though
worth it? probably not
did it take like 4 hours? yeah
will i be able to afford next ts if i keep up this pace of 19-20 a day?
we dont know if itll be a 90 candle TS or a 200 candle TS so 
might as well shoot for the stars
go for it 
What the, I was just in orbit and there was another skykid, completely invisible, no hitbox or any way to interact, but they apparently saw me??! Low key creepy haha 🙈🙈🙈
The only thing I could see was the light circle from honking, or the visual effects of emotes
eden ia haunted
wheezes ngl this nearly made me spit out my coffee 😂😂
It's got a large glow radius so it's nice to use it on dark areas
too bad light regen is less than optimal
I can't get into the game now🥹
You should ask in the question channel of the device you are using
thank you
It still is a portable regen that is always on
Better then nothing i guess even if its weak
Unless it light out because of water or heavy wind or interacting with something
You can just recast it lol
Yeah but it's still a hassle since you need to put it back before casting
Not a lot of steps more, but still kinda annoying
Show me any other portable source like that outside of friends/alt account
I mean I like it too for the small regen, just I'd like to be able to do more interaction without it being put back each time
Does anyone know if its possible to permanently obtain the team capes? Theyre so coollll
i don't think so, i think you can put the spell on a mannequin tho?
In my opinion, the dev shouldn't have put the total score per gold medal. They should have put it with the scores the team made in each games. The difference would have been... less noticable
forest on their way to have more points than the other 3 teams combined
I’m gonna put in #live-feedback for torch to have a button to relight after fire goes out. If marshmallow prop got a button AND unique animation to put a new marshmallow on the stick without grabbing a new stick, they can do something similar for the torch.
OMG, Dwayne Johnson went to Eden!
Why are Forest team so OP?
Probably more numbers
but if it's randomly assigned it shoooouulld be pretty equal...
we need some colour theory type explanation xD
in theory, yeah. but then there's people who are inactive, not participating bc they didn't get the team they wanted, not going for gold every day, etc
i genuinely don't think tgc expected one team to sweep us all under the rug 😂
yeah i think the unwanted team -> less motivated to participate is the most probable cause
right xD
i'll admit, i'm less motivated to do the event myself because of the scoreboards but like... personally ima still do what i can to contribute despite it being disheartening
I just pretend the scoreboard/leaderboard doesn't exist at this point and focus on having fun with the race 
With the kind of game this is I'm half expecting all the results to merge at the end of the tournament under some "the winner is friendship" premise
yeah that's kinda what i'm trying to do lol, spam circle as fast as possible so i don't have to see the scores 
lmao they pull an mlp- "the true power was friendship all along!"
screw that the winner team should get an exclusive pure gold cape
Yeah there isn't any prize for winners
A simple solution would be letting us keep our team cape 
honestly... good. i think having a prize might make the competitiveness take a turn for the worse
rng is not in peoples favor
If it was going purely by color theory, Red would be a huge competitor
Thought there was there is crab trophies and the winning team gets a gold version its a furniture prop
i think a dev confirmed there are no prizes iirc
don't have the message link sadly
confirmed by Poisoness (developer)
From the promotional stuff and things i saw there was talk of trophies in the end
No trophies at all, that was just a beta thing they scrapped
Ah wonder why it was scrapped
probably to not make it too competitive 
Probably to reduce toxicity towards the winning team, it would have been worse somehow 
honestly good choice
Must have realized the team were unbalanced even if they were random
According to Raccoon (leads to beta channels)
#beta-discussion message
The trophies were not really in line with what the team had in mind for the event so they were removed for live. That is why the communications are not mentioning them. Sometimes there are some BETA elements that don't make it to live.
oop sorry. Got a beta info in there
I'm in blue team and I'm almost ashamed of the difference of point there is between us and second team. And even more with last team
feel kinda sad for prarie and valley tho
I saw stuff that didn’t say was beta when the event was being talked about and soon to happen guess it was old news didnt get updated for live
I know the patch notes mentioned a trophy when they first came out, but they were updated to remove it. I think someone forgot to revise the notes before they got published.
Wish it was a big announcement and not talked about so vaguely 😅 would clear up alot of miss information
Me too
Would be cool group prize in the end we all get to win our team capes 👀
I managed to get the orbit spirit bug to work and the generic mannequin one showed up 
Both performance spirits are not in the orbit wing buff line up (pic is spoilered for brightness of the rebirth gate) 
#screenshots-and-videos message
Maybe a potential fix would be to increment each team daily, such that even if a team scores no medals at all, at the end of the event period they would still reach the top/flame level
In essence turning the competition into "who reaches the top first" while still letting each and every team reach it in the end
And yeah tgc please let us keep the capes😭
It's very important we leave our feedback at #live-feedback , because here our messages will not reach the devs
Ooh big dream
Oh no, I'm not actually serious but do you think I should?
definitely and absolutely yes
Where is the rock today?
thank you! i already had Astro's pfp before being assigned to Forest. It was destiny to be blue team 
Near the Eden gate
Thanks
I would personally prefer if we got either all 4 capes or one cape that could change between the 4 colours, I think it would be nice for everyone who wanted a different team to be able to pick the colour they wanted
Is the seasonal quest still bugged? Been busy and haven’t had time to do it
Did my support to Forest and I'm good for the day

You should be able to finish it now

Is the event over? 🤨
How do i get my team to show up in my profile?
!whatteambruh
Wear your team colors by sending the following in my DMs or in chat:
- I wish to be team daylight prairie
- I wish to be team hidden forest
- I wish to be team valley of triumph
- I wish to be team golden wasteland
❗ No extra words! No punctuation! ONLY the above bruh

I wish to be team hidden forest
I finished void collect, went back to colosseum and I think the game jailed me for being team forest /j
Ugh I dislike that the ultimate reward cape doesn’t match the dark blue outfit that the guide wears like the cape is too vibrant
Do I write my message in the channel?
does the portal not come anymore :0
Why in season of duets area does it say to call to find your seat?
its been removed since skyfest ended, for some reason it stayed but it wasnt supposed to
itll come back in the future though
we dont know why the festive tech is enabled but for now nothings going on
!grandmawhen
Grandma periodically holds a timed event at the Ancestor’s table of Belonging in the elevated clearing of Hidden Forest, providing up to a certain amount of Light per day and a delicious meal to Sky children. 
❗ This event is currently bugged until a future update. See #known-issues message 
//For a second, I thought it didn't said anything about Grandma being "delayed"🗿
Or what is it?
Is she protesting or something?!🗿🗿
We weren't eating for decades 💀
Starvation in progress 💀💀
Missing grandma so much rn 😞
I don’t
we all know she is feeding team forest in secret 😭
😭😭give her back
How long has Grandma been away?
24 days bugged
they should just end the games, people don’t even play anymore
im flying my heart out and they just stand there
Grandma has been bugged since <t:1720741500:f> (<t:1720741500:R>) and will be fixed in a future update
The first (that i could find) mention of the bug from Ash: #seasons-events-chat message
//Secret?
I am "secretly" team fortress forest player
Still, I didn't got any buns🗿
... is she feeding our sky kids, when players are away from their devices?🗿🗿🗿
"Secretly"🗿🗿
//... wait
I can actually clip image to the post there?
Alright, I'll be posting text stuff there then; rather in memes channel.
//... almost all the time
afterwards
server compensating signal destability
with auto burn of all the darkness
and auto-light up of all the candles
on the map.
Coincidence?
//... oh, wait, it made sense in memes channel
Anyway 🗿
I'll let it be there.
Sorry if this has been asked an answered , I’m in the season of duet area and now lots of LUDO SKYLINGS and seats available (a bit like in Aurora concerts) what’s this about? Is there a music concert happening? How do i find out when it is? I’ve been sat at this table a while today lol 😂
for now we don’t know and there isn’t smth going on. maybe we will find out with a future quest what will happen there! 
i havent heard ludo before, i called them ghosts or cones 
skycones
What is happening with blue team, they are just crushing the rankings
cries in yellow team
i am putting in work for yellow ; - ; got all 3 for both games today but I fear our team is discouraged
I feel like yellow is sometimes #1 or #2 on the points board so I don't get how we have no medals
Where I live this is called "sorry!"
sorry /j to be fair i was unmotivated from day one when forest got both golds 
i was trying to figure out why it looked familiar, but yea its called sorry for me 
u_u that is fair
why is today's spirit so hard 😭
wasteland spirits are rough, I think theres still one or two i never got

it'll be a lot easier if you rush into the shipwreck area and come back, the krill's spawn trigger seems to be fixed to the entryway from the first area, so doing this trick should stop it from spawning while you do the spirit. keep in mind the krill will come back if someone else joins the server and hits the trigger ~~learned that the hard way earlier ~~
is anybody able to help me with the "relieve saluting protectors memory" quest?
you'll probably have more luck asking in #looking-for-group-live 
alright thanks
there is a trick to make easy
go past area, enter tunnel on right til it mergers with new area
then go back to where spirit is and no krill
no stress

see above message

There's one thing to suggest
to players in Memes channel.
Though, it will need a little explanation...
Players can copy link to message.
The link will open message, even if it's in another channel.
(Or server💀)
That way players can redirect their chat into other, "correct" channel.
//Neither me🙃
but
your story reminded me of that one)
yeeeah that don't sit right with me 
@tame pine your message was deleted. All media here is subject to server rules as well, and yours contained a few words that are filtered and inappropriate in this server. 
I forgot to take a better picture, but while i was playing the tournament i came across 3 other players on the red team, and on the rain race, instead of rushing to the finish line individually we all did deep calls while racing to make sure we all won together and didn’t die, i have to say that was the funnest time i’ve had playing one of the games, we looked out for eachother like a real team! I love my red team ❤️❤️
I wish to be team valley of triumph
ponf
||test||
The Spraveling Tirit is scheduled to arrive...
Skybot, what is a moth?
A "moth" is a new player. They have brown wings, they flap around uncontrollably, and they are drawn to flame!
Hmmmm 
slacker he is
I know y'all have probably heard enough of this, I'm just frustrated that I've provided as many points as I can possibly provide to my team and yet blue has consistently gotten gold every single time 
and just general players run to finish or just quit
why play?
i quit when people piggyback
Oooh, especially the cheating
I forgot about that, there are people who have snuck their full 10 or 11 wings into the races
That's just visual shenanigans
Even from my own team, its unacceptable. Y'all know who you are.
They have no sportsmanship 
I know full wings show up, but it only shows 3 charged wings
I'm talking about fully charged 10 something wings
And they use all 10?
I'm pretty sure it's just a visual bug, showing their wing count outside of game but the game itself is limiting how many can be used (similar to how trials take your cape).
I mean yea they use them all. In like the rain race they just spammed wings the whole time
Ah 
In the collecting ones I would write it off since it gives you wings back but not the rain race man 
I honestly never realized forest was peoples favorite realm before this. I see so many people hanging out in the Prarie social area I thought it could be a contender
I had never realized before that event that people had favorite realm
Lol I knew what most peoples least favorite realm was before this lol
cough Wasteland cough
I know some doesn't like wasteland because of krills and crabs and some doesn't like valley because of race, but I didn't know they had favorite
me, who wanted to be forest solely because my favorite color is blue 
Same
I want to ask the spirit will go on day 5 or day 6
i wanted valley for red, but sky decided i like butterflies more 
its leaving tonight, in 6 hours
Good
Ohbb be thnx
i probably wont see a repeat till mid next year so whoever it is will be new for me 
Are the prophecy ts's the only ones that got additional items added onto the tree (the props)?
no
What are the others?
Rhythm got a torch added to the juggler
Crab whisperer got pipe
First TS that had props added was i think Sunbather's lounge chair during summer of 2021. TS started having props since then.
Ooh
Shell collecter got a double chair?
I remember when you could buy the shark mask, fur cape, and winter piano
Like as an IAP
sparkler parent got the pinwheel
I feel bad for people that buy prop spells that are perm items…
is it shush who got the lantern?
The handheld one?
Water and fire prophet had the sticker prop on their second visit.
no, prop, lantern with no light
Oh the orb?
Which spirit from enchantment got that... playfight? not sure
Man enchantment, when the spell shop got introduced
There are definitely spells I never see anybody buy still in that shop
I wish spell shop prices were lower
They aren’t making resize cheaper. The gambling must continue
I'm gonna continue sitting on 39+ resize potions until they implement a tall mask (opposite of chibi). I don't wanna gamble my convenient tall height. 
yess, this is also what happened to me too 😭 poor guy got krilled twice before going home 
are there other spirits to the main one?
You mean in new area? There will be a second one in the further quests as we could see at the end of second quest
Since it's a new season we don't know much about what's going to happen. But seems like that
when did it come out? i literally just played again after months
Season of duet began end of July
ahh
Oh seems it was more mid July
#news message
The 15th of July to be exact 
I don't remember well, there was also 5th anniversary at the same time
Omg I'm going crazy with this tournament
I get the yellow team 😭
we have no chance I'm so mad bro
the furthest I ever land into GW 
Come hang with us in the sanctuary
we’re just chilling
is there a performance or something happening in the new season area? when i sit on a chair it says "claim this seat? you will join and experience this with others who claim seats here." and there are a lot of people around
It will most likely come up later in the season!
How were the teams decided for the event? Are they based on irl regions?
its the four main realms of sky, and isle is cheerleaders while vault is score keepers (discord roles)
No I mean how were people assigned to each team? Because I didn’t get to choose my team
its random as far as we know
i went with 3 friends and 3 of us got prairie and 1 got valley, even though we all went at the same time
Random, huh? It sure seems like one team has a larger player base.
Unless they’re all coincidentally the most zealous players of Sky
Yeah I find it extremely hard to believe it’s purely random
There has to be some sort of sorting factor to the teams. I mean it’s better than letting players choose their team and have the teams be widely different in sizes.
I’m coping by telling myself the scores are bugged 
I already sent TGC my opinions, made myself as loud as I think I can become
I’m assuming it’s based on the player’s region. NA, EU, Asia, AU, something like that
There's no way they'd do that
Nah bc that’s already been disproven by multiple accounts, my current theory is player age
That also requires sky knowing our location
me who see a lot of players in same region but in different team
Well I mean on consoles it’d be easy to find out the region
Though out loud that sounds dumb, ignore me
I’ve said it before, but I really believe the community would benefit from some transparency
Considering the randomness of Shard memories... I think the randomness of the teams fits within expected levels. 
Says the one on the dominating team
I create my own stuff for fun, so I completely understand wanting to leave content and game design a secret, but I think it’s gotten to a point where people are starting to go for each other’s throats, which isn’t what the game is about
I mean it's a valid observation? 
It just feels pointless even trying to compete when one team has won every single gold medal
imo, team assignement may truly be random. because random does not automatically mean balanced amount of players per team.
there is also player discouragement from participating depending on if they like the team they are on that probably has greatly affected how many points are being acquired each day exhibit a, heh
I also genuinely wish players would stop trashing on other players one way or another
hi gale uwu
hello nora uwu
I’ve been playing since Sanctuary and this event just makes me more sad by the day 
Funny how this is supposed to encourage friendly competition but it doesn’t seem to be doing that
I definitely agree with the concept of players not wanting to engage in the competition, but the issue with that is.. are some people really just ignoring dailies??
People started giving up literally on the second day and now it's feeding a perpetual cycle
Exactly, which is why I’m trying to push everyone to take a step back from the “competition” and observe what’s going on from an outside perspective
you can go sit in the sport and afk. get only 1 point but still complete daily. some people try to get all 3 points, that's what i mean
they can just go forest race and ignore the checkpoints and grab the last place and bam daily done
That checks out /gen
I joined a race this morning and 5 people were standing on the wrong side. They just went straight to the end and left. I was the only one running the race. So yah, i think there are plenty of people just doing the daily and not trying to help their teams
popping in to say: yea if i had more then 1-2K candles id probably be skipping the daily too 
That uh.. sucks to frank haha
I hate most of the games but I still give it a go at the very least
Got absolutely destroyed in void gather by a forest player. How the heck do they do it??
People may also be bored of doing the same activities over and over.
Yeah. The games are a fun challenge to overcome, so I play them. I've never really liked competitive games so I don't care about the competition aspect.
They doubled my count
That’s very true
wasteland has won silver for the last 4 days and was really close to gold yesterday and the day before #general-sky-discussion message
we'll probably see the places change as a lot of people are done w 25 tickets and dont care as much for dailies 
Uh... I practiced doing red shards ever since Season of Shattering? 
Also, I came up with a kind of training regimen to help players practice and improve their performance at most of the competitions. The only one I couldn't accommodate was the Crab Race because well... there's no normal Sky thing that lets you be a crab.
Valley of triumph for me. I like sliding down hills WHEEE!
double your count like how many is it
It’s just sad that I can’t help everyone take the same step back I’ve taken haha
26 to my 14. Granted I screwed up a bit but still
On the one hand three weeks is a long time to repeat the same events, assuming they stay the same. But on the other, it gives time for other teams to get points after the hype dies down. There are still like 26 gold medals available.
I think my fav would be prairie at sanctuary
And what I want to make clear is that I hate the way the event makes me feel, which is why I’ve attempted to give myself peace of mind.
I hate feeling looked down as part of team prairie, and I hate that I feel defeated running into team forest players
OOOH THAT ONE TOO! BIG DIVES!
Team Valley isn’t doing much better. We’re like trading off
hm what's the average of number for void gatherer
Why do you keep crossing out your statements /gen
I think in the 20?
Maybe I'll just cancel my cape spell when doing competitions...
I’d do the math but I’d need to open the game
I can get to 30
I think I got 32 today?
….am I missing something?
My pb is 25 iirc
Just gotta be fast
Btw can you get more than 3 tickets from races
Sanity perhaps? I'd give you some but I'm looking for sanity myself
25 per 10 days
Ah see, I embrace insanity 
I must be sane since I’m scoring low
Wait I just realized
hm i think 20 is about least for me, and that about the point I can get first place sometimes
You can get up to the number of tickets the say you have left to gain when you return from a tournament
As a forest player im so surprised that we're winning all the time? I normally average silver or bronze

Have some sanity hot chocolate 
Gotta learn how to rapidly switch between flight modes for quicker turning
YEAHHH
Ah you see I do as well. But this way, when people ask me if I've lost my sanity, eventually ill be able to say "no! It's right here, see!? (holds up sanity) I just refuse to use it!"
Valley sucks at races, but does better at gathers. Weird
AHAH THATS BEAUTIFUL! CAN I STEAL THAT
Yup! It's for all to use!
Gorgeous
I don't trust sane, normal people. They're weird to me

What if I’m sane and neurodivergent
Yah, at least for me controller helps a lot with being able to switch flight modes and directions quickly.
Controller definitely helps
The L button on my controller is broken
Stay around the lower and middle heights, most of the fragments spawn there
Fortunately I’m built different and mastered air trial so I don’t even need a controller 
Oh wait the L button doesn’t do anything anymore does it
Eh I guess I'll let you in the gang😁
Oh wait L is for currency lol. I just tap it
I’m glad we’re finally getting cello representation this season
I know I’m not the most well known or influential member of the Sky community, but I’d genuinely love to start a movement, in the discord at least, of people who have taken a step back from the competition entirely and just see is as the event it’s meant to be. I genuinely worry about the long lasting effects of the tournament after it ends
I'm feeling like a warrior with the torch lol
Yeah it’s so cool! I can’t wait to get my mitts on it 
I'm in it for the torch and just having fun 🙂
I'm doing the tournament for dailies, and wax now. But I'm doing the races fully even if I don't need to
I'm honestly just using it as training to imprive my coordination, since I'm not real great with just moving
Oh absolutely
My flight skills have improved a lot though.
I’m one of those people who can’t compete if I’m always losing. looks at Splatoon
I finally managed to complete the wing suit the other day without touching the ground
Just moving in general is painful in that game lol
although I can say with the utmost confidence that my flight navigation and skating speed have increased with the practice! I can now go through 4 whole checkpoints in the wingsuiting game haha
It doesn’t feel fair if you’re just always losing
does anyone know what the ultimate gift is for the duet season thing 
Ultimate gifts are a very nice deep blue cape, a grand piano, and a tapestry
the one with the question mark on the constellation OR am i just being dumb
~~a congratulations message ~~ 
Oh, whoops. You beat me to it.
In that order, 1, 2, 2 hearts

That's just the next quest?
ignore that, that question mark doesnt give anything
messages above answered your question about what are ults
i mean this thingy
Oh! That’s a secret for later
THe question mark represents the 'Elder' of the constellation, which can only be accessed by meeting them in person.
I think.
man my sneak level is 100 or sth
Yes
AUGHHHH
There will only be 2 spirit for duet constellation?
the most i have so far is everything from the masculine side including the uhhh instrument thing
so 3 hearts
Oh uh.. Gale, I wanted to ask you something •>•
So 2 more trees to complete and you will be done
yah!!!!

both of them are not started yet though 💔💔
Could I send a friend code? 
I have 1 done, 3 started
i grinded like a madman to get the blue cape 😭
Off the top of my head, I think I have two done? Can't remember which ones though...
I think the data collection people are really cool haha, I’d love to know how y’all do it cause it’s nuts
pure insanity for me
I'm wondering if I'm buying the shoes or buy the violin. Tomorrow I'll have enough for the shoes
me? sure
:D!!
I also think blue tunic would go well with mellow cape
Too many interesting things to buy lol
So I see blue players stacking each other on each others' backs for free light for this olympics events, seriously this event is making me want to quit this game again
if i want to compete i will just go play my PVP game, i didn't come to sky to compete and watch players cheat
sorry for the rant but sky is where i would come to relax not just feel like i'm in another garbage pvp game
You can skip to the end to finish if you just want the ticket
That's not exclusive to team forest
The thing is like chances of it happening is odd, out of 40+ games I've played I've only been in 1 game where someone was piggybacking another and tbf I just played another match because at the end of the day I'm only going to get 3 points for a gold then leave the games, which usually only takes 2 or 3 games to get if I'm unlucky on the first match, it's not like people can replay the games and stack up points so there's not really any pressure
If anything you can just leave your current match if there is someone piggybacking and join a new match
i don't even want the cape because i never want to remember this stupid event
no thanks i don't feel like worrying about manipulating a game i came to relax with
Anyways I don't think the dev will give us the cape
There's no end tournament prize if that's what you're thinking, you don't have to play the games competively if you don't want to
good
i don't want to see it in my closet
i played like 5 matches and all 5 of them had piggyback people
it’s annoying in general i don’t really care if i’m not getting any currency it just kinda feels like they’re cheating
for real
petition to turn off piggyback during the rain race
during every race
i am just logging off to go play my actual PVP game where i can kill other players that act stupid
this is NOT the feeling i wanted from sky
Turn off all emote on every single race
Unfortunately it is something tgc overlooked when making the event along with my personal gripe of having a game daily but eh other than #live-feedback there's nothing that can be done since there's nothing at stake from the event
I just did the tournament to get the torch and now for dailies
thank you i will go put something in that channel
sigh 
I think because it is just for fun, with no prizes, tgc did just overlook it since I'm sure they probably knew majority of players would only be playing the event for the Dailies sc and tickets also why people lost interest when there's only 6 games that repeat
is it fun though?
Don't recall if this was an issue during testing as well, quite a big oversight
Thank you 💚
I mean it is certainly different, the first three days were fun since it was 6 different minigame modes and I'm sure some players enjoy the overall concept of the event, but that's more of a personal opinion question really
yeah i know, i'm sorry i'm just frustrated
i also saw a blue player piggybacking another team player and blue won haha
Dw we get it, the event could definitely been handled differently that hopefully tgc will take in consideration with feedback if they ever make a similar event
i hope they never make an event like this again, i am for sure not coming back if something like this comes back
anyway thanks, i'm off this game for now ❤️
I personally never saw it brought up but I think that was also cause during testing there was fewer players in matches/participating at all and I remember the introduction of it being very confusing
Saluting Protector I’m begging for mercy 😭
you can do that spirit krill free! but do you know about that trick or not?😂
i did void gather in my alt acc earlier. three of us. my alt is in wasteland team, another wasteland, and one praire. I prayed so hard for the praire to win lmao I did the game bad so the wasteland player (who wear moth hair) can at least get silver if praire get gold. AND AMEN praire got gold 🤣
Oh wait I think I saved it
Bye bye Krill !! 
So how do you get Saluting Protector krill free?
you go to next area first, which is crab field. and then go back to graveyard, then do the spirit. as long you're alone in the server, the krill in saluting protector area wont get triggered to show
need a bit of luck tho because any player can merge/join your server suddenly and tada the krill is triggered
Thx for the tip
yw!
But oddly, I got krilled while saving Saluting Protector but lost no wl. Is that possible?
probably just a love tap from krill. like they hit you so slightly you lost no wl. or a bug from the tournaments?
since when we do crab race, we lost no wl if the krill hit us
My team suckssss waa
For the first time I’m grateful for my terrible server connection 
Did it first try
No server merge; fell a few times but managed 😭
congratsss
~~as a member of the Wasteland team, im rooting for whoever gets 3rd place, its either Daylight Prairie or Valley of Triumph team ~~
the real interesting competition is prairie and valley, because they probably won't catch up to wasteland and no one can catch up to forest...
honestly this event perfectly encapsulates the reason why i don't get invested in things like the olympics -- i have literally no influence whatsoever on the outcome
It's about to be 4 days in a row with the same outcome 
fr the only development is that now wasteland is consistently winning second
I'm rooting for wasteland, because that was my dream team
i doubt we'll ever catch up to forest, but you can dream (also i wish we could've influenced teams because i would gladly trade teams if i could)
but seeing the pattern, i think 3rd place will definetly be valley team
also weird how the patterns always the same everyday. praire lost the left game and valley lost the right game
like how
im smelling something rigged~~~~
i genuinely dunno what's up but something is clearly imbalanced
there's no reason i can think of that the results would be so consistent otherwise
I was thinking to myself, you know how tgc is known for not using true random, but favors a filtered random? I think the same thing is happening here. It’s still a random role assign, but we don’t know how the random was filtered
Tgc is known for that?
Well I knew that

Therefore I can (and will) assume the role assign isn’t using a true random, and I’m currently speculating what the filter could be
300 points difference let's go Green!!! We can do it

👀
we're so close!!!!!!
>
the place/ realm you visited/stayed more time in maybe? Because i feel like there are more players that hang out in hidden forest for grandma and less people hang out in both Daylight Prairie and Valley. Thats just my guess personally
i doubt it because wasteland would be the smallest team then
But how exactly would the game be able to tell how much time you’ve spent in a certain realm?
true..
~~who knows, maybe they've been tracking it the whole time ~~
Bro... my two friends , maybe three , actually , all of them are in blue and I'm green 💀
~~i got wasteland and i spend most of my time in prairie
~~
Nah it's probably a.... uhhh... random chooser thingy
yeah probably, forest just happened to get the most active players somehow

I would say I am pretty active and it threw me into the wasteland
I do enjoy wasteland tho xd
Avg amount of friends, quite a lot of heart trades here and there, almost every day 20 candles, every day 15 at least
Is there a concert happening at the season venue?
no announcement made so far
Wasteland almost there 
:0
so closeee but i dont think wasteland gonna get gold today 🥲
Rico. I got the orbit spirit bug with your advice! 
#screenshots-and-videos message
Red is faster, so why does my team earn only so few medals?
Also it's a cool zone, maybe not the best elder but a very enjoyable zone overall... More power to red!
Yikes the blue pillar reaching orbit might become real.
Good day await all sky kids. Here is today Rock's location. This my be my last rock post.

You can clear hi-5 quest with the tournament spirits. 
Forest has the same amount of points as the other teams combined now
Forest on steroids fr
subject to disqualification!
gets glared at by forest elder
No wonder team blue is winning, the majority of their wins is 3/3 daily pointers XD
There is no Bronze or Silver Team medals
I just saw some poor moth get Krilled right at the finish line of the Crab Race!
THey bounced around and got launched out of the bubble as well, it was brutal!
LOL
You should have recorded that and shared it XD
Hmmm….. Wonder what Memory it’ll be today
I usually see Jellyfish Cove with the Elder Memory, but it might be Jellyfish or Whale again
I felt really bad, because I got gold that race, but when I went to leave I couldn't because someone was still running.
Poor Skid 🙏
I watched the whole thing as this little crab came scrambling into the finish, a Krill trained on them the whole way.
The light didn't turn blue so I quickly got out of the way, but the poor thing couldn't escape in time. 
Imaging a Crab being thrown around like a Pinball machine Ball
Oh no, they had turned back into a Sky Kid just before the Krill lunged.
Which is arguably worse, if you ask me.
Crabs are at least armored, so they might not be hurt so much.
Wait what?!
Did they loose WL?
I think so, yeah. They got completely darkened, shadow crystals on their body and the whole nine yards.
And the worst part is they immediately got sent back to the colosseum because the impact launched them out of the bubble!
So if they DID lose WL, they definitely didn't get it back.
Wow..I think that should honestly be told to the Devs so that way next year they can consider putting some restrictions on the activation box areas for krills, and a no hit zone in the finish line so people don't get attacked at the finish line.
Truthfully I don't know if the genuinely lost WL, I didn't see any fly off, but the kid absolutely was extinguished. A 'safe zone' finishline is a very, VERY good idea.
Unfortunately I don't have footage to show what happened, so it's just word-of-mouth so to speak. I can't actually prove what I saw.
Sounds like a tale the moth can tell future moths when they are more experienced.
Hey seasons chat.. calling for y'alls opinion for this.. which mask and mask accessory you think would look best with this fit?
In my opinion, the moth mask looks better with the colors. It matches the fluff as well, I think. Not sure what accessories to suggest, though...
Oh wait, that's the Sparrow Mask isn't it?
The one that comes with the brown bird-wings cape. Yeah. I usually wear that with the Moth Antennas, so in my head I've kinda associated it with the moth set.
personally i love the earrings
