he(?) looks like a crazy tech cat

[obtuse heart]

There is only one thing this community wants more than vegetables, which is alpha keys.

[blazing kelp]

thats it, that's the alpha key

[wild ridge]

Yup that's him

[regal swallow]

I personally picked 2 because I wanted to have the biggest surprises last

[left pebble]

Shorter than i thought too, cool

[celest maple]

HE'S HOLDING ALPHA KEYS

[calm apex]

HAHA

[spring talon]

I picked 2 as well!! I'm intersted to see!!

[little silo]

Omnissiah be praised! He holds alpha keys!!

[obsidian crag]

he is a cat, his name is Key-purr (because he keeps the keys)

[obtuse heart]

That cat is why pre-alpha hasn’t started yet, he won’t give up the keys.

[clear prism]

Don't get me wrong.
But I think villager 1 was revealed in a trailer

[lyric ether]

Looks more like keys to his cellar, which is probably full of rats. Ya know for a snack.

[celest maple]

Ladies and gentlemen. We got him.

[obtuse heart]

Headcannon accepted.

[vital scarab]

im still hoping #3 will pull through

[vast wyvern]

Ok, must go eat food

[summer obsidian]

Yeah, but we don't know everything about him yet...

[faint dawn]

he's like a treasure hunter...

[left pebble]

LMAO this is a great pun

[vast wyvern]

#3 is interestin for sure. I like 4 too tho

[spring talon]

Enjoy your meal! Thanks for popping in

[strange fern]

Looks like the warehouse guy

[sand barn]

Have a great food!

[stable oar]

Steampunk Mayor Kitty

[strange fern]

Enjoy!

[clear prism]

Or at least something similar.
NOW 3 LOOKS LIKE A PROPER THING TO START A WAR FOR

[sour gorge]

@vast wyvern over here trying to sway the vote lol

[wispy wyvern]

Thauma-tek eyepatches confirmed?

[left pebble]

#1 could be ashura maybe?

[umbral kernel]

Less dramatic if it's a landslide vote.

[calm apex]

Vote for 3 👀

[stable oar]

#2 is clearly the broody elf leaning against the tree.

[obsidian crag]

I voted for all of them because I am an anarchist

[sour gorge]

Vote 4 or you don’t get alpha key

[umbral kernel]

Vote for 5, win a pie.

[wild ridge]

So right now the vote is between booba and cat

[little silo]

#1 is the bartender voiced by Chris Metzen.

[summer obsidian]

Votes for 5....I'm waiting! 😛

[slender crypt]

#3 is catching up!

[wispy wyvern]

Have you come to serve the beer?

[placid mural]

3 is the not-a-vampire lady with the nice vest, right?

[lyric ether]

my vote is for not cat, (literally anyone but the cat)

[umbral kernel]

Gonna need to see verification.

[obsidian crag]

I would accept this.

[stable oar]

Heretic

[little silo]

Beer and thunder!

[obtuse heart]

Tok’tar, my bar!

[sour gorge]

Anyone here excited to see starfield at e3 this year?

[umbral ferry]

Depends, did they switch to UE5 yet?

[meager gazelle]

Super excited 👍

[obsidian crag]

FOR BLOOD AND HONOR .. and BEER!

[umbral kernel]

I'm just aiming to let everything be a surprise this go around, no expectations.

[lyric ether]

I just don't like things with tails.

[celest maple]

For RTX

[foggy ingot]

skull throne? no? okay

[obtuse heart]

Zug zug, some beer need drinking?

[sour gorge]

Todd Howard has said the engine has been rebuilt from the ground up

[sour gorge]

Same honestly

[wispy wyvern]

I too had a horrific childhood experience with a tuxedo.

[umbral ferry]

By the same people that made the previous engine bad? Well I guess I'll see

[blazing kelp]

concerning. maybe it'll just work.

[obsidian crag]

STOOOOOP POKING ME! and let me drink my BEER!

[obtuse heart]

I can’t believe a word Todd says

[little silo]

Milk for the Khorne flakes! 🥛

[vital scarab]

https://palia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Media-Carousel04-1024x576.jpg 3 is sexy pink lady

[sour gorge]

It wasn’t necessarily bad it just wasn’t upgraded that often.

[umbral kernel]

Gnoooooome

[lavish remnant]

If we were a real community, we'd keep the votes perfectly equal and get all 4 at once.

[wispy wyvern]

Glug glug!

[obtuse heart]

And two is the handsome glasses elf

[meager gazelle]

The old Bethesda engine wasn't bad, just really old and they used it for way too long

[sour gorge]

They rebuilt it to make it work better lol

[little silo]

Oooh I'm gonna give her so many shiny pebbles

[clear prism]

[umbral ferry]

Other studios used gamebryo, and their games didn't crash whenever you sneezed at them

[blazing kelp]

it just works

[umbral ferry]

the fact that they've shown the NPCs but now have them as silhouettes feels like "Who's that pokemon"

[placid mural]

I know she's probably not a vampire but I'm getting vampire vibes.

this one is also one of the choices.. https://palia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Media-Carousel02-1024x576.jpg

[obtuse heart]

Bethesda; why fix our games, we have modders for that.

[celest maple]

THE PHANTOM PAIN?

[sour gorge]

People change it up to work for what they need.

[dry portal]

YE

[vast wyvern]

hahaha, it's learning more about them overall! Don't worry, we have more

[umbral ferry]

Yeah, just saying apparenlty Beth did not 😂

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/vince-mc-mahon-falling-in-chair-surprised-wwe-gif-7810711

[wispy wyvern]

Are any of them Minsc and Boo adjacent?

[sour gorge]

They did. Just not that often. Hence why they are doing it now.

[bold robin]

ooo exciting. Voted 🙂

[clear prism]

im sorry for what I am about to do

[stable oar]

Oh hey, it's Johnny Depp.

[faint dawn]

Though, if I am honest, I am more curious about her.. - https://palia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Media-Carousel03-1024x576.jpg

[obtuse heart]

Do chapaas count as NPCs tho?

[obsidian crag]

sorry, but I am here for the "yeah we only have 4 npc in this MMO" experience, so ...

[umbral ferry]

🤔 Wdym not that often, why would they not change it up for their game they use it for to be stable

[blazing kelp]

the bug catching trainer.

[celest maple]

Well looks like she's a Hidden Truth you need to uncover.

[dry portal]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-bear-slap-me-you-gif-17942299

[umbral kernel]

I feel like that's the person in charge of insect catching.

[wispy wyvern]

She looks like shes about to foretell your future with a jar of bugs and the stare at you for an uncomfortably long time.

[lyric ether]

Clearly the winner is 1 2 and 3. If you combine them they way outrank 4. So statistically while 4 has the most votes, less people are actually interested in that one then they are the other 3.

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/vince-mc-mahon-falling-in-chair-surprised-wwe-gif-7810711

[obtuse heart]

That’s not how democracy works yo

[obsidian crag]

same, because the activity on her tile card is also what I am most interested in. Exploring and discovering things. L E T M E P L A Y O M G

[umbral ferry]

That woudl only work if you coudln't vote for multiple

[burnt fulcrum]

prove it xP

[merry fern]

Reminds me of that one professor in the harry potter movies. The one that predicted the future

[paper mulch]

guys voting on #3 ... SIMPS! 😂

[umbral kernel]

If you take that approach with each other number, then 1, 2, and 3 individually have even MORE people underinterested than 4.

[thorny bear]

I voted for 3 and can confirm.

[faint dawn]

Honestly, is this man date-able o3o (jk.. or am i?.. mmm he's a dog person.. 😏 ) https://palia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Media-Carousel06-1024x576.jpg

[blazing kelp]

they rather simp than accept an alpha key from the cat.

[lyric ether]

The answer is to reveal 1 2 and 3, but ignore 4 clearly.

[paper mulch]

I wanna see the 4th one

[sour gorge]

I don’t know. I’m not part of that discussion but they know the “it’s not a bug it’s a feature” charm is wearing off especially since Fallout 76. Besides their games never took on the full capabilities of the consoles or pc but I have a feeling they are going to because we have seen a small bit of how ES6 is going to look and it looks hella good

[merry fern]

4 for the alpha keys, clearly.

[vital scarab]

we're just cultured

[paper mulch]

haha

[sand barn]

The answer is whatever you feel it is

[paper mulch]

😛

[celest maple]

I love this man.

[paper mulch]

btw those character reveals = playable characters or NPCs?

[spring talon]

NPCs

[celest maple]

NPCs.

hi eris

[sour gorge]

Npcs. You play as your own character

[little silo]

So what do I need to do to get a colored name so I can post images?

[slender crypt]

OH HAI

[slender crypt]

I'M STILL HERE TO SAY HI

[obtuse heart]

You must praise the one true chapaa

[sour gorge]

You can go to the roles channel but it doesn’t allow you to post images in this channel

[sand barn]

Whether it is one, two, three, or four; NPC's gon help chu explore

[paper mulch]

@little silo I am colored and I can't post images

Best friend? She looks nice... I wanna be her friend... all their friends.. OwO

[obtuse heart]

Is that a prosthetic leg?

[obsidian crag]

can't post images in this channel, just gifs and emotes from the list. the images being posted by Anastasia are embedded from the URLs because they are palia

[little silo]

Teach me!

[merry fern]

She looks friendly

[vital scarab]

#3 closing in.... SIMPS WE NEED U

[vast wyvern]

WOAH

[sour gorge]

Vote 4

[sour gorge]

Get out of here imposter

[obtuse heart]

For 4 for four keys

[wispy wyvern]

No, the leg is the only part that isn't a prosthetic.

[celest maple]

It's true that I killed my mentor, yet I am not his murderer.

[blazing kelp]

ok e.y.e player

[stable oar]

Eris, thanks for the wonderful work you've been doing on Palia. We all admire you.

[pulsar meteor]

i believe there is an impostor among us...

[stable oar]

Thanks, you're the best dev out there.

[little silo]

Me luv u long tyme

[celest maple]

have any of you played palia?

[blazing kelp]

yea

[lyric ether]

How accurate is this vote anyways, isn't it super easy to make multiple discord accounts. 4 is cheating the vote I think

[blazing kelp]

haven't you?

[sour gorge]

No not yet

[celest maple]

no i havent

[obtuse heart]

Only in my mind.

[sour gorge]

Its not out yet. Pre-alpha starts soon

[blazing kelp]

well that's a good thing, because I haven't either.

[celest maple]

WHAT

[obsidian crag]

can you really "cheat" on a vote for an NPC reveal when they're all getting revealed anyway?

[little silo]

They bought voting machines from Hugo Chavez

[obtuse heart]

Shhhh get outta here with that logic.

[lyric ether]

wasn't where i was going with that, but i approve

[obsidian crag]

sorry /me shows himself out

[vital scarab]

#stopthecount

[merry fern]

Some people take a just for fun thing way too seriously 🤷‍♂️

[celest maple]

I don't think people will devote that much of an effort for a character to be revealed

[burnt fulcrum]

Clearly #2 hasn't been cheating, soo...

[blazing kelp]

guys i think we're dealing with voter fraud on #3

[celest maple]

i really wanna play palia it looks like such a fun game to play for hours on end

[obtuse heart]

Nerds. On the internet. BORED ones, no less.

[obsidian crag]

bored? on the internet? WITH SO MUCH TO DO?

[umbral kernel]

Obvious we're dealing with mail in Discord fraud here.

[sour gorge]

Did you sign up to try and get into the pre-alpha?

[celest maple]

i think your hard work will pay off

[celest maple]

yeah i did

“Apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime”

[paper wing]

something about idle hands

[lyric ether]

multi-boxers always gotta be cheatin i tell ya

[clear prism]

Okay, what I tried to do apparently requires some programming and maybe AI calculations. Just to make a meme-ie image.
Yeah, I give up

[lyric ether]

Actually has anyone asked what their stance on multiboxing will be?

[clear prism]

They have boxes.

Well, I guess that's it. That's their stance.

[lyric ether]

i mean if there is any sort of economy, boxing will ruin it right from day 1

[umbral kernel]

That's the habit of loading up multiple accounts over multiple instances of the program to mimic the same actions as a means of leveling up multiple accounts, right?

[lyric ether]

yes

[paper wing]

shall we first discuss the multi-faceted definition of multiboxing?

[clear prism]

Why not multikarateing?

[lavish remnant]

It'll really depend on if there's a system in place to detect it.

[little silo]

We don't even yet know what benefit there would be to multiboxing yet here we are discussing it

[umbral kernel]

I'm unsure how....profitable that'd be, but would depend on how the gathering systems work. If the intention is to skill up and sell an account, also unsure how profitable that'd be for a title like this.

[paper wing]

because I don't think you can multibox on a Switch since they are more carton-shaped

[pearl ore]

Are we talking about multilevel marketing?

[paper wing]

so we should call it multidevicing instead so as not to anger the mobile users

[little silo]

I have some "vitamins" to sell u

[lyric ether]

well, If there is an economy boxing is an issue. But if there is no trade at all I guess it's a non issue

[clear prism]

Here is a thing" multiboxing is not that much of a problem early on. Mostly because peopel don't know how to utilize it in this particular new game.

[mystic gale]

This doesn’t even seem like the kind of game where you’d get some massive benefit from multiboxing, but who knows.

[pearl ore]

I have an exciting business proposition for you. I can get you in at the ground level

[little silo]

We don't know enough about systems that can be exploited to make any meaningful commentary on exploits. So, why?

[clear prism]

The moment people start abusing it and not just messing around - remove it.

[umbral kernel]

Usually, it's something to address only if it becomes something of a problem, otherwise could be a waste of development time.

[mystic gale]

I feel like if you are tryharding this game you’re missing the point a little

[obtuse heart]

We don’t even know what economics and trade will look like yet.

[paper wing]

multiboxing allows the truly introverted to experience the social aspects alone

[umbral kernel]

Can be a temporary headache.

[lavish remnant]

Speeding up crafting and maybe gathering in large groups.

[obtuse heart]

That hasn’t stopped nerds before

[merry fern]

People like to min-max and optimize the fun out of games if they let them

[smoky ivy]

they also do it in dnd

[obtuse heart]

For some people, that is the fun.

[mystic gale]

No, but in most games there’s a clear benefit to it and incentives that drive it

[lavish remnant]

Min-max is a form of fun for a lot of ppl

[lyric ether]

it also allows people to wreck the economy.

[paper wing]

I think min-maxing is best done when the game tries to stop you

[little silo]

As a DM, this makes me cry

[clear prism]

32 shamans multiboxing in wow back in the day was fun.
5 mages multiboxing now to oneshot you is abuse.

[pearl ore]

I like to do the minimum amount of maximizing

[clear prism]

the moment it switches from fun to abuse - remove it

[merry fern]

Which is kinda murky if it involves others in a shared space like MMOs.

[celest maple]

You are very cultured.

We do a little maximizing.

[obtuse heart]

I didn’t say it was fair or clean fun. People be weird.

[umbral kernel]

If you can game a portion of a system, people will learn to power game it. Which is fine, they'll form their own community and with the type of game this is being catered as, I doubt it'll have an impact on the rest.

But as said, it can depend on if they ruin the communal market by rigging pricing.

[obtuse heart]

I just wanna smack some rocks.

[arctic onyx]

i want palia in palia

[obtuse heart]

Grow some potates

[umbral kernel]

Mmmm, taters.

[smoky ivy]

farm some baby potatoes

[lyric ether]

that is my concern, is the effect on the market.

[sand barn]

Po-tay-toes

[paper wing]

no commodities market planned

[pearl ore]

Sounds like people are gonna corner the market on productivity and I'll be stuck in my neighborhood cornering the market on being lazy

[lavish remnant]

I wonder if you skip pebbles next to Einar if he'll get mad at you.

[celest maple]

BOIL EM, MASH EM, STICK EM IN A STEW!

[little silo]

We don't know enough about in game market to make valuable commentary on that, eithet.

[lyric ether]

Sure, but does that mean no trading?

[lone crane]

Redstone in Palia, how much does this ruin or better the game for you.

[obtuse heart]

Until we know what shape the market takes, moot speculation.

[lyric ether]

So long as trade exist people will make their own market

[smoky ivy]

bury some bodies in the potato patch

[umbral kernel]

I've always been the guy who gathers and supplies myself rather than relying on auction or markets.

Sink a few extra hours in that way.

[lavish remnant]

Seems less tedious to rely on others. lol

[merry fern]

I mean, we've seen the impact of multiboxing on games like Archeage, WoW, or pretty much every MMO. It kinda sends the economy out of whack since you can't really compete with a legion of accounts doing the same thing you are doing, at ten times the efficiency lol.

[obtuse heart]

Depends, can I give redstone pebbles to Einar?

[clear prism]

Nowadays most likely. But I already seen games where trade functions were removed and all economy ruined alltogether as a mean to get rid of the gold sellers.

[sand barn]

Don't worry, we can maximize our minimum effort

[lone crane]

Community gives pebbl s to reach milestones to help him unlock new features.

[paper wing]

Palia is said to have a "pretty unique approach to handle the transfer of items between players" so don't expect trading per se

[pearl ore]

I think we'll do just that

[obtuse heart]

Then 👍

[sand barn]

Build houses and go explore, that sounds like the dream to me

[lyric ether]

Lazy people are the most important part of the market, they are the largest consumers and create the demand part of supply and demand

[umbral kernel]

Yup, and not going to say that it can't be a problem. But those are also games with very competitive systems in place which promotes the large communities it takes to justify those efforts. Depending on the community this type of game builds, may not be necessary.

[smoky ivy]

maybe we'll sit in places idly with merchandise sitting out

[lavish remnant]

The pebbles integrate with Einar to unlock new powers.

[thorny bear]

I miss the old mmorpgs where you could set up shop in the middle of the streets and start selling your stuff, no need for an auction house.

[sand barn]

Not if they're lazy and self sufficient 😬

[pearl ore]

Partially build houses and get distracted whilst exploring

[umbral kernel]

Lineage 2?

[lyric ether]

can't be lazy and self sufficent, that requires work. 😛

[sand barn]

Mostly getting very distracted exploring and live in a shabby house

[lone crane]

Rocket punch unlocked

[thorny bear]

Yes, Aion and Perfect World International

[pearl ore]

All I can say is yes, because I don't have the braining to brain

[sand barn]

My logic would disagree with you, and my logic is flawless

😬

[obtuse heart]

Imma need some Einar/Baymax mashup art now, thanks.

[umbral kernel]

Same company, so makes sense, lol. Lineage was my thing back in the day, only early MMO that actually instituted multi-hit classes (polearm ftw).

[clear prism]

I doubt Palia is going to be competitigve early on. No PvP, no dungeons, no monsters.
Later on - yes, most likely.

[pearl ore]

I'm probably gonna get distracted exploring your shabby house

[lavish remnant]

pssssh Einar and Cubix.

[lyric ether]

if you make your own stuff, you are doing something. So not lazy.

[smoky ivy]

I make a hobo shack to live in

[sand barn]

Shabby shack, but I will make some bomb tea

[smoky ivy]

or I live in a wagon so my house moves with me

[pearl ore]

I'll bum some coffee from someone

[arctic onyx]

they did say that palia will have dungeons

so it will still have some form of competition

[lyric ether]

If you think the game won't be competitive, I'm not sure what to say. Competition happens naturally the community makes it. Maybe it's trying to make the best look house, or what have you. But competition even in social games is a thing. Humans can't resist it.

[lavish remnant]

seems like for a game like Palia, "Ruins" would be a better name. XD

[sand barn]

I provide for my guests! I'll have it all. Dontchu worry

[undone rover]

I already have an idea for a fishing competition it will be somewhat competitive lol

[arctic onyx]

brooo i want sea of thieves like puzzles

[foggy ingot]

y'all gotta react with 3️⃣ in #📮│public-polls

[lavish remnant]

Explore the Ancient Ruins of San Francisco where humans were said to once live! lol

[pearl ore]

Sweet

[obtuse heart]

Yaaaas pls!

[obtuse heart]

Isn’t that the new Horizon game?

[umbral kernel]

I think the conversation is oriented to how competition inspires a market. In many MMOs, it can define gearing and the like, but if it doesn't then it can be a different story on whether or not that competition can also drive a market.

[arctic onyx]

what's a san francisco? must've been some a small settlement or something

[obtuse heart]

Yeah, they couldn’t even build straight roads.

[plush sleet]

That would be awesome sot has some of the best puzzles

[lavish remnant]

Indeed, with some weird cars that ran along tracks

[clear prism]

"later on"

[chilly compass]

Will palia have pets? 🤔

[lyric ether]

You think people competing to look the best isn't going to create a market?

[plush sleet]

Yes

[gleaming jewel]

Hi guys, I'm from Uruguay and I'm excited for Palia's departure. Any news from the pre-alpha?

[obtuse heart]

I NEED a pet chapaa

[lavish remnant]

No pre-alpha yet

[obtuse heart]

The only news we have is “soon”

[lavish remnant]

also welcome!

[chilly compass]

wah thank you for this ✌️

[pearl ore]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to inspire the heck out of the casualness market

[arctic onyx]

imagine riddles having you run around the entirety of the world, just so you can unlock some legendary shovel or something

[plush sleet]

No problem

[umbral kernel]

That doesn't even have to be competitive, just a personal goal. At a certain point, you're just trying find a point.

[obtuse heart]

The prettiest shovel, worth it.

[plush sleet]

Yeah that would be amazing or you could unlock a legendary fishing rod

[lavish remnant]

I would spend weeks trying to unlock a legendary butterfly net

[burnt fulcrum]

About the time, yes.
We also know that there are 1400 pre-alpha keys that will be given out

[hidden lynx]

Why do we have to wait for them to get revealed when we already know what they look like 👀

[arctic onyx]

best in slot fishing rod, can catch whales

[obtuse heart]

True, but I try not to think about the odds of getting one.

[sand barn]

I wonder how many trees I can plant

[umbral kernel]

False tension? Lol

[sand barn]

Trees... eeeeverywheeeeere

[lavish remnant]

XD

[knotty ether]

further info on them. How old they are. THeir name. what they do specificly

[undone rover]

I voted for 4

[knotty ether]

maybe what kind of race/species they are

[little silo]

The devs suggested that some play styles lend themselves to ladder-like play, so expect people to find ways to meta the mechanics into oblivion

[paper wing]

lore ... as if they think we care about that ...

[open sinew]

Hippity hoppity now your in poverty

[lavish remnant]

Y'all should vote for all of them, so we get them all at once.

[plush sleet]

Same

[hidden lynx]

Welllll for anyone who hasn't seen them I popped them in #🎭│palia-memes 👀

[smoky ivy]

I hope if there are puzzles, that they're optional because I am all puzzled out from ff14

[obtuse heart]

Y’all better vote for #4, Key-purr

[lyric ether]

i mean competition is already in the discord. -looks at the vote- And how discord reacts to it lol

[smoky ivy]

I voted #4

[knotty ether]

if you want to be able to immerse yourself into a game successfully, then yea lore as to the world you are in would be pretty important....

[little silo]

#4 is meta

[chilly compass]

I voted #3

[arctic onyx]

where are these votes you speak of?

[little silo]

Wasted vote. #4 is meta, you're playing wrong.

[chilly compass]

Villager vote

[lyric ether]

pretty sure some people are meta voting, I removed my vote for 4 and put it on 3 because 4 was winning adn i rather see something else.

[lavish remnant]

#vote-villager 👀

[knotty ether]

4 was in second when I voted. and who cares about "Meta voting" people are voting on what they want to see

[arctic onyx]

4 is winning no cap

[paper wing]

the anti-popularity vote - very conspiratorial of you

[sand barn]

Vote for whatever you want

[obtuse heart]

Imposter confirmed!

[lavish remnant]

Lots of furries in this community with 4. 😏

[little silo]

(Thats the joke)

[pearl ore]

We're supposed to vote for the villager with the fewest votes so none of them feel bad, right?

[umbral kernel]

'Eh, I'm all for #3. Mostly 'cause of the image before was travel oriented.

[lavish remnant]

Is Chaapa our community form of Kappa?

[obtuse heart]

If we don’t vote for 4 we don’t get alpha keys

[sour gorge]

Vote 4 all the way

[little silo]

He is literally dangling the keys in front of us.

[knotty ether]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-point-debate-argument-angel-gif-17274775

[acoustic phoenix]

was about to vote 3 until I noticed you say that and changed to 4

good observation

[lyric ether]

oi it's not the alpha keys lol

[obtuse heart]

Yes it is

[void imp]

THE CAT MAN IS TINY

[plush sleet]

Oh no

[umbral kernel]

Should just find a happy medium and everyone switch their vote to 1 or 2....then we can fight over those two for another 30 minutes.

[little silo]

Its the keys to the sexy dungeon

[void imp]

thats so cool

[wild ridge]

I think a tie means we get two reveals, keep them even

[obtuse heart]

Even better

Can I bring some potatoes?

[plush sleet]

I’m so excited for fishing and cooking

[lyric ether]

just vote for them all. so we get 4 reveals topkek

[little silo]

3 is already there, so vote 4 and get both.

[pearl ore]

That depends

[obtuse heart]

C’mon, everyone loves a good potatoe

[smoky ivy]

potatoes for everyone

[pearl ore]

I didn't say no, I said it depends

[little silo]

Whats tater, precious?

[umbral kernel]

Only love it once it's out of sight and in my belly.

It's just a great like until then.

[obtuse heart]

Boil em mash em stick em in a stew

[shrewd fiber]

I'm allergic to potato! And the entire Nightshade family of vegetables. Can I please have an alternative?

[little silo]

I hope its a chuu stew.

[umbral kernel]

(Potatoe) Cake or Death

[shrewd fiber]

Death it is.

[obtuse heart]

How about a tomato? 🍅

[little silo]

Yaaaaay, deth

[shrewd fiber]

That's also in the nightshade family.

I believe, anyway.

[pearl ore]

While we're on the topic, what are we talking about?

[little silo]

Actually I think ur right

[obtuse heart]

Oof, I don’t know my deadly vegtables

[knotty ether]

foods

[obtuse heart]

Are carrots okay?

[little silo]

Always comes back around to foods

[shrewd fiber]

Carrots are safe, yeah

[umbral kernel]

Always foods.

[obtuse heart]

It may or may not be lunchtime for me

[little silo]

We were talking about hamburgers last night

[summer obsidian]

I'm def. looking forward to having a nice big selection of crops at my house

[shrewd fiber]

^

[obtuse heart]

Can neither confirm nor deny

[clear prism]

Carrots are never safe with Chuus around.

[lyric ether]

chat has so many animal lovers and foodies. It's hilarious.

[little silo]

12 hours later and its taters

[lyric ether]

it's always about animals, or food.

[paper wing]

is 12 crop types 'big'?

[sour gorge]

What do you mean

[obtuse heart]

My potatoes bring all the chapaas to the yard.

[pearl ore]

Great. Let's talk about mid 18th century farming techniques

[summer obsidian]

sure, haha

[plush sleet]

Anyone else hoping for ramen in the game

[paper wing]

just curious what constitutes a big selection

[little silo]

Devs gave us a topic of the day about "favorite NPC in any game"

[viscid aurora]

I want all the foods in game

[sour gorge]

Just in general or?

[obtuse heart]

It has to be LORGE

[pearl ore]

One that's neither small nor medium in size

[plush sleet]

LOOOOORGE

[paper wing]

no, just in response to @summer obsidian comment

[summer obsidian]

I wonder if some of them grow in certain seasons or something

[umbral kernel]

Less about being a big variety and more about that nightshade vegetables are everywhere.

[little silo]

My favorite NPC is the cake in Portal.

[plush sleet]

Same

[sour gorge]

Ah ok. I didn’t see it but I scrolled up.

[obtuse heart]

Goodness, I would love if we got AC style seasons in Palia.

[plush sleet]

Or potatOS

[little silo]

Hmmm. Cake inspires me more.

[lyric ether]

Sense you guys like Animals, and Food so much. I made you all a delicious Cat Potpie.

[obtuse heart]

“How are you? I am a POTATO!”

[summer obsidian]

I've asked it twice now in the submit questions thread...so we'll see if they ever answer me, haha

[plush sleet]

I’m hoping for that and that different crops will grow more or less in certain seasons

[pearl ore]

Did they have seasons in assassin's Creed?

[little silo]

You're assuming seasons are a thing

[obtuse heart]

You and the 3000 other questions. May the odds be ever in your favor!

[obtuse heart]

Seasons of DEATH

[umbral kernel]

Would like to see seasons.

[worthy comet]

are there gonna be seasons in the game?

[obtuse heart]

Don’t know, just hoping

[pearl ore]

I'm only interested in seasons of love

[paper wing]

and they are leaving the questions thread open for two more weeks, right? 😆

[little silo]

Seasonings, pepper, salt, thyme...

[summer obsidian]

Right? It's probably not a core mechanic so maybe not that important to talk about quite yet

[sand barn]

Snuggler's Bae

[plush sleet]

Yeah because I would think with a game like this it would make sense to have seasons

[gentle birch]

I hope so. I feel like after the first round of Q&A though, that they aren't ready to answer questions like that. I'd guess we won't know things like that until after the pre-alpha is completed.

[summer obsidian]

Unknown as of yet

[obtuse heart]

Not mutually exclusive

[worthy comet]

oh well kinda expected that for now

[pearl ore]

Oh, Romeo and Juliet style

[summer obsidian]

We have...time

[obtuse heart]

It’s gonna be painful for those who get into pre-alpha, not being able to talk about it due to NDA

[lyric ether]

I think leaving the Ask the team section open too long will yield skewed results on the upvote. People are too lazy to scroll threw all the questions. So many won't be seen and voted on

[umbral kernel]

Let's see...if 1 game day = 1 irl hour, be looking at a little over 2 week years. I'd be down for that.

[little silo]

I've done a few NDA, its not so bad

[obtuse heart]

Wait, they want us to vote on that mess?

[sand barn]

It's gonna be painful for those who get upset they didn't get into pre-alpha..

[celest maple]

Chuu pot pie

[obtuse heart]

Just pain. Everywhere, only pain.

[pearl ore]

I've always found it pretty easy not to talk about NDA stuff because of social anxiety. I'm surprised we're talking right now

[celest maple]

😋

[summer obsidian]

True, but they'll get to discuss it in their secret pre-alpha channel with others in there...so they'll be ok

[sand barn]

And some glory

[obtuse heart]

True. That’ll be nice.

[paper wing]

not sure the upvote actually matters - they will only answer questions they have answers to anyway

[obtuse heart]

See, you’re the right person to tell a secret to.

[pearl ore]

Glory is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something

[umbral kernel]

"We don't know" seemed like a valid answer last time.

[sand barn]

Let's not go around name-calling 😅

[umbral kernel]

I feel like that can apply to any question.

[opal shale]

true

[viscid aurora]

u know it

[worthy comet]

true

[summer obsidian]

Wait...they didn't vote for #1?

[lyric ether]

if it don't matter why do they have it there? I suspect they answer the most upvoted questions if they have the answers to them. And those that get spammed acrossed will sadly get ignored.

[pearl ore]

I am a keeper of many secrets or none at all. You'll never know because people are scary and I'd rather not interact

[celest maple]

This isn’t name calling… it’s an actual observation

[pearl ore]

Or projection

[paper wing]

illusion of choice - pretty sure it's a valid marketing strategy

[opal shale]

i want number 4 they look cool

[obtuse heart]

People are generally pretty yuck, I concur.

[celest maple]

People aren’t scary

[paper wing]

hmm .. me think you are people

[celest maple]

They’re yucky

[little silo]

#4 has alpha keys, js

[worthy comet]

this would be one of my first mmos is that a bad thing?

[pearl ore]

I don't know, if you season them properly...

[torpid cradle]

They're better with ketchup.

[summer obsidian]

this is dumb, but I had to vote for #1 due to my very mild-OCD. Having another one lit up on the right is going to kill me. Want to see them lit-up in order 😛

[obtuse heart]

No sir I am a robut. See my profile pic!

[sand barn]

I've heard pepper's also help

[umbral kernel]

I was wondering what milk OCD was.

[summer obsidian]

haha, typo!

[opal shale]

number 2 is boring

[uneven wyvern]

Dang I just missed the pun loving developer!

Word on the street is there is a hot new treatment for gamers who are tired of playing bad games!

Ask your doctor about….
||‘PALIA-CARE’ \o/ ||

[paper wing]

gotta start somewhere

[worthy comet]

i guess

[pearl ore]

Come to the Pepper Pals for the best peppers in Palia!

[sour gorge]

I started with RuneScape

[umbral kernel]

Mmmm. Peppers. Sweet or hot?

[sand barn]

Just make sure you watch out for those Zuccini Zealots, they're savages

[obtuse heart]

Disregard peppers, acquire potatoes

[umbral kernel]

-sigh- My first MMO was Dark Age of Camelot. Only a short while, though.

[worthy comet]

i just don't really know where to start because of social anxiety

[pearl ore]

I've heard as much! They need a little spice in their lives!

[opal shale]

my first mmo was runescape

[celest maple]

Same

[little silo]

Eh, I was a WoW baby

[pearl ore]

Yes

[celest maple]

1v1 me in the wildy, no DDS

[summer obsidian]

It's ok! We'll take it together! I feel that way sometimes (esp. in this fast moving chat)

[hot pewter]

Hello

[opal shale]

cant lost my og account 😦

[sand barn]

Start small! Would be my advice. One step at a time. Say hello to someone, or greet someone in game! Or on here :)

[umbral kernel]

I'll take a weekly deliver of about pallet of each.

[pearl ore]

Sold!

[little silo]

Buy bulk, sell single, profit!

[celest maple]

Hi

[umbral kernel]

Sssh.

[knotty ether]

hello

[pearl ore]

I charge more for bulk

[worthy comet]

well this is the first time i actually said something in a discord server

so thats one step

[pearl ore]

Every step makes a difference

[sand barn]

Yay! First step taken

[worthy comet]

yay!

[sour gorge]

No go to #📮│public-polls and vote for 4

[little silo]

Thats why I buy from ur competitor

[umbral kernel]

Vote #3

[little silo]

And sell to u

[worthy comet]

nah already voted for 3

[paper wing]

4️⃣ definitely best

[pearl ore]

Vote for Pedro!

[gentle birch]

[worthy comet]

haha

[sand barn]

This community is quite welcoming and friendly, even if they are a passionate bunch. Don't let the busy chat scare you away, just send a message and join in!

[dry portal]

Boost time!

[little silo]

Mention food and become an instant celebrity

[umbral kernel]

Food's always a winning topic by me.

[worthy comet]

i hope for pancakes

[dry portal]

Exactly

[sand barn]

Mention hamburgers and you might attract a wild dev 👀

[pearl ore]

Busy chat can actually be good for taking first steps and remaining comfortably anonymous

[little silo]

That devs burger recipe was lit tho

[sand barn]

Oh yes

[umbral kernel]

Mmmm. Nothing beats making pancakes in a sauce pan, low temp, with lid on to let them get over an inch thick and fluffy.

[valid notch]

French Toast > Pancakes

[worthy comet]

both

[sand barn]

I like my pancakes thin, like crepes

[umbral kernel]

You're a monster.

[celest maple]

Pineapple slice on a burger makes it amazing

[worthy comet]

both are good

[umbral kernel]

Crepes are solid, too.

[pearl ore]

But if they're too solid, they're not good

[dry portal]

[novel plank]

Crepes mmmmm

[worthy comet]

i like eating crepes just with nothing on them

[little silo]

Breakfast burger w egg and bacon, thats how us kings do it.

[magic mist]

request to make a food channel in #💭│discord-server-thoughts in 3…2…1

[umbral kernel]

-staaaaare-

[sand barn]

We've made suggestions for a food channel

[novel plank]

Crepes with butter and a little bit of powdered sugar tho

[dry portal]

We need one

[novel plank]

for a simple one :))

[sand barn]

But instead have made this the Palia & Pastries channel

[viscid aurora]

am hungy

[umbral kernel]

Haven't made the wife crepes for awhile, but can't really do them anymore. 😭

[worthy comet]

sad

[umbral kernel]

Absolutely refuse to use egg substitute.

[celest maple]

sustenance

[magic mist]

technically could go in #💬│off-topic-chat too 🙂

[celest maple]

Theres a crepe place where i live and its amazing. They have sweet or savory, so you can get a seafood filled crepe, or an apple cinnamon one.

[novel plank]

I’m going out to a nice dinner this evening and I’m very excited to eat some nice filet mignon and then a keylime pie and go into a food coma 🤤

[viscid aurora]

y'all ever try the food in new orleans

[little silo]

Welp, I clocked in to work 4 hours ago and I've only been in this chat since then. I guess I had better start answering some emails...

[sand barn]

There's not much to talk about, in regards to the game, so I think it's okay to talk about something off topic if everyone's joining in. But that's just me

[opal shale]

whats yalls opinions on maroons?

[novel plank]

Macaroons ??

[worthy comet]

are we gonna be able to cook? and if so do we play a little minigame? prob nothing said about it, just wondering if there is

[umbral kernel]

Nice color.

[novel plank]

they’re my absolute fave 10/10

[umbral kernel]

Macaroons are great, though.

[opal shale]

wait i mean macarons

lol

[sand barn]

I'd recommend checking out the unofficial FAQ in the pinned messages! Lots of useful info in there

[wild niche]

Has anyone seen the images in the Palia Memes channel? I haven't seem them anywhere else and it looks like they've got some of the characters they were meaning to reveal. Not sure if they're meant to be accessible lol

[smoky ivy]

I wonder what kind of dessert items will be in the game

[worthy comet]

k will do

[viscid aurora]

love macarons

[novel plank]

There’s this local place and I always buy like 6-8 at a time and devour them within the next like hour 💀

[viscid aurora]

what do y'all think bout beignets

[celest maple]

Will there’s be voice/text chat?

[vale moth]

Makes me want to ask the question, will we have the option to make businesses in the game, like having a Retail shop to trade user created designs or a Restaurant to sell our creative dishes?

[novel plank]

Never had them but they look good from when I watched the princess and the frog years ago 😭

[magic mist]

Oh I am guilty myself going off topic everywhere, just wondering if people who join excited about the game and see general discussing food is a so so experience 🙂

[cobalt cradle]

pancakes were mentioned just peeking in randomly

[keen aspen]

they are literally from the website.

[celest maple]

It wouldn't be a very good MMO without text chat. But no community systems have been announced as far as I know of.

[worthy comet]

pancakes are delicious

[novel plank]

If we knew a great deal more about the game the topic would be more game related

[viscid aurora]

they are pretty tasty, food in new orleans is pretty good

[wild niche]

Just making sure since they have some of the characters that are blacked out on the Villager thing

[sand barn]

The way I see it, the conversation will find its way to go back to on topic. Like it is now :)

[novel plank]

My boyfriend’s mom’s family all live in Louisiana so we’ll end up visiting there after I turn 21 lol (I’m 20)

[keen aspen]

the reveal is probably only about their names and a short bio

[wild niche]

Fair enough

[viscid aurora]

GO go to new orleans and treat yourself

[sand barn]

Or.. it could be more

[novel plank]

I am very determined to try a beignet

[sand barn]

Or less, who knows. But I'm excited to see!

[umbral kernel]

Just don't go to New Orleans during the typical tourist seasons.

[opal shale]

dont go to atlanta at all

[vale moth]

hmmm feels like my question was lost to New Orleans

[umbral kernel]

Seconded.

[celest maple]

Don't go to the east coast at all

[viscid aurora]

kinda now wanna make a home in the style of how it is in new orleans

[novel plank]

I watched this one show called the Originals and it took place in New Orleans and it just looks so fun

[novel plank]

That’s a bit extensive there’s plenty of good east coast places …

[viscid aurora]

its a nice kinda dirty

[sand barn]

Just don't go to the United Mistakes 😬 /j

[regal swallow]

I was thinking I wonder if I could build a windmill in Palia

[sinful ether]

Could definitely use some more nudging to keep the conversation actually on topic for sure.

[umbral kernel]

Lmao, yes, base your opinion of the city off what the classy Vampires show you.

[celest maple]

I somehow missed all of them the 4 years I was deployed there then 🤣

[umbral kernel]

Wrong tag, but works.

[novel plank]

There’s like nothing to talk about that’s game related except for the same thing over and over

[chilly comet]

Hello, fellow Palians.

[worthy comet]

what would you even use it for?

[umbral kernel]

The only thing to talk about that everyone needs to vote for #3.

[plush sleet]

[sinful ether]

But there IS a place to talk about all the nonsense! #💬│off-topic-chat

[regal swallow]

Windmills are primarily used to ground wheat in grain for bread

[summer obsidian]

grind corn into grain for chicken feed

[sand barn]

Maybe power something too?

[novel plank]

Yeah, I’ve been in there but can’t send photos of food and such anymore so now I just don’t go in :/

[regal swallow]

power the neighborhood!

[magic mist]

not sure if xenophobic or racist /s

[worthy comet]

i guess but if there is gonna be a crafting system than prob not

[summer obsidian]

yeah...in case Shrew's voice doesn't amplify enough...we can get him a microphone

[novel plank]

I just wanted to send a photo of the food I made last night sooo bad it was so perfect 😔

[sand barn]

We'll start our windmill empire!

[worthy comet]

unless we get automation in the game...

[regal swallow]

Tavern nights will be so cozy with all of you

[umbral kernel]

Windmill or Windturbine?

[worthy comet]

mill

[wild niche]

Windmill

[novel plank]

I think a cute little rustic windmill would fit my aesthetic thx for idea :)

[opal shale]

no kentucky is great

[umbral kernel]

Just curious as to where powering the neighborhood came from. Kinda checked out for a second, lol

[worthy comet]

i hope there will be a public tavern

[summer obsidian]

The windmills in the photos look gorgeous...so I'd want one

[sand barn]

Uh, what? I learnt that joke from an American. I lived there myself. It's a joke. Those are pretty big words to toss around so casually

[opal shale]

if you come to the us come to kentucky

[paper wing]

watch out for that /s

[novel plank]

nah nah Boston is where it’s at

[tough drum]

greetings Palians! ❤️

[sand barn]

/s is shrug no?

[umbral kernel]

Greetings, internet individual.

[paper wing]

thought it was sarcasm

[umbral kernel]

It's sarcasm.

[chilly comet]

North Dakota is where it's at. Totally not biased.

[sand barn]

😬 oops

[wild niche]

/s Has always been sarcasm to me

[novel plank]

I thought it was shrug too honestly LOL

[sand barn]

Sorry about that!

[novel plank]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[paper wing]

I'm a boomer so it's sarcasm

[wise elk]

Good afternoon all! how are you today?

[summer obsidian]

I imagine North Dakota to be a semi-flat open wide land type of state. Is that wrong?

[worthy comet]

what is /s i've never seen it

[magic mist]

meant as sarcasm, I think we can move along on this 🙂

[chilly comet]

That's pretty accurate.

[umbral kernel]

Oh, I'm sure you've never seen it. /s

[wild niche]

It's something added to the end/start of message to let people know what you're sending is sarcasm. Used since tone and stuff can't be easily conveyed via text

[opal shale]

one time i joined a server and they allowed normal people with no ranks to /tts

[regal swallow]

OOOH we can do a theatre night!

[opal shale]

lol

[summer obsidian]

Sounds really cool. We have trees upon trees upon trees here. Would be nice to look over a long distance without obstructions

[worthy comet]

huh neat need to use that more

[paper wing]

or maybe not - seems our zoomer friends may still miss the point

[sand barn]

Oopsie

[pulsar meteor]

that's when you use the handy dandy sarcasm font

[worthy comet]

i wonder if the story will be affected by what the players do in the world

[chilly comet]

It's a lot nicer than a lot of people give it credit for. When crops come in it's lush green fields, white snow covered plains in winter. Plus you can see the entirety of a lake damn near which is great.

[paper wing]

now I really am a boomer - when did strikethrough become sarcasm?

[pulsar meteor]

when discord made it convenient to use

[sand barn]

That's like me realizing /s is sarcasm and not shrug

[viscid aurora]

as zoomer I have no idea

[pulsar meteor]

i can't think of any other IM platforms where it was easy to turn on or off

[umbral kernel]

So, I think the first thing I'm going to do in Palia, whenever the day comes, is just run around and explore the map, all the while just singing "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" to myself. My record is a full hour, need to find a game to beat it in.

[worthy comet]

ok thats awfully specific

[pulsar meteor]

but in other servers i'm in, it's used to convey sarcasm by striking through the sentence

[regal swallow]

I'm going to be Shrew the Greeter!

[sand barn]

Can I supply you with food to hand out?

[umbral kernel]

"Hi, welcome to Palia, I love you."

[stable oar]

I thought /s was for the hit early 2000's phrase "shibby" popularized by the hit buddy comedy "Dude where's my car?".

[chilly comet]

I will keep an ear out for you.

[novel plank]

wouldnt the hybrids for boomer, millenial, and gen-z go billenial or zillenial

[worthy comet]

so you are gonna be a bar tender that says hello to everyone that enters

[faint dawn]

Only an hour? Weaksause... i did diggy diggy hole in mc at least 2... lol

[rigid flume]

sorry but can i just say how awesome discord is. my goodness its so easy to just get things done on here

[magic mist]

that…. actually makes sense

[chilly comet]

But will you strive for 3?

[summer obsidian]

I do that too I've never done that

[umbral kernel]

Alrighty, guess we'll have to form a little wager on who can outdo the other on obnoxious, repetitive songs while traveling.

[clear prism]

I like his passsion.

[sand barn]

That is some diggy diggy holing..

[regal swallow]

"Hi and welcome to Palia, a mysterious world full of adventure, from gliding to fishing! Everyone loves a good mystery, say hi to my friend Einar by the pier, as you head to the Sleepy Boar Inn for a cup of Yakmoo milk!"

[tough drum]

I been calling myself Gen X for years and just found out a week ago I'm a millennial... it was a sad day

[umbral kernel]

Extra points if we can find another person to sing The Song that Never Ends along with us.

[faint dawn]

Okay ill use catchy song from legomovie 2 this time..

[chilly comet]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[paper wing]

what about gen x? have we just become boomers for actual really real?

[clear prism]

genox

[tough drum]

thank you 🙏

[knotty ether]

just like a millenial would think

[summer obsidian]

Welcome to the older Millennial crowd! ❤️

[novel plank]

aren't they known as baby boomers anyways ?

[sand barn]

Maybe I'd just sing I'm a lumber jack and I'm okay 🤔

[magic mist]

sorry to hear, wanna talk about it?

if you do - millenial

[chilly comet]

You're welcome. I will mourn for you.

[paper wing]

gen x known as baby boomers? ah the shame

[tough drum]

you're not wrong 🤦‍♂️

[novel plank]

i'm technically a part of gen Z but relate more to millenials than other kids in genZ so therefore im a zillenial

[knotty ether]

hahahah its okay

[sand barn]

OR you're just a human bean

[tough drum]

baby boomers are 1946-1964 while Gen X is 1965-1980

[celest maple]

Defining people by their generation is incredibly insulting imo

[novel plank]

oh wait gen x is also known as post boomers LOL

[tough drum]

right

[worthy comet]

from when to when is gen z?

[sand barn]

We human beaning over here

[novel plank]

or baby busters (im looking at google, pls)

[tough drum]

gen z is the newbies from 1997 to 2015

[paper wing]

gen z is 2k to today

[worthy comet]

good im gen z

[wild niche]

Gen Z is a bit harder to pin down a window on socially

[magic mist]

there is a wonderful wiki page on that

[regal swallow]

I'm a Gen Z , but they keep on moving it around 🤷🏻‍♂️

[paper wing]

mmmm ... not good

[umbral kernel]

Millenial who relates to Gen X in some ways (raised by grandparents, so raised like one)

[worthy comet]

oh boy

[wild niche]

Too many differences but most people do 2000 and later as Gen Z

[novel plank]

gen z constantly .... mutates behavior wise as the years go on LOL

what will the generation of humans who just reappeared in Palia be called?

[tough drum]

Similar here. Millennial with a lot of gen x values.

[magic mist]

Yes!

[sand barn]

Palia Palooza!

[regal swallow]

Palia is a beautiful world!

[summer obsidian]

The returners?

[wispy wyvern]

nods Palia.

[viscid aurora]

so we change like the internet

[worthy comet]

palia

[stable oar]

Yes, Palia.

[clear prism]

Kingdom of Palia*

[magic mist]

Palia it is

[knotty ether]

im generation me

get rekted

[worthy comet]

but but...

[novel plank]

no do not turn palia into a hierarchy :(

[regal swallow]

Generation Palia

[sand barn]

We're all Palians

[magic mist]

waiting for mic drop

[viscid aurora]

the peoples republic of palia

[clear prism]

Paladins*

[worthy comet]

the palians

[tough drum]

last week we were having a discussion and I was all "Freaking millennial!" And my mom was like, "Ummm, YOU are a millennial." I disagreed until I looked it up and my world came crashing down.

[chilly comet]

Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They're currently between 57-75 years old (71.6 million in the U.S.)

Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 and 1979/80 and is currently between 41-56 years old (65.2 million people in the U.S.)

Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1981 and 1994/6. They are currently between 25 and 40 years old (72.1 million in the U.S.)

Whoops, I forgot to not reply to that.

[celest maple]

Or...there is no generation

[worthy comet]

awww sad

[sand barn]

It's a good thing there's a cord attached!

[wild niche]

Only thing is I'm technically Gen Z but I can't associate with literally any of the stuff they do

[knotty ether]

lmao

[novel plank]

everyone is literally part of a generation that's just how it is

[celest maple]

Since, ya know, time is linear and not in blobs

[smoky ivy]

then there's generation alpha

[wild niche]

Most people 1999 and before feel the same. Just zero fit with Gen Z lol, but not old enough to fit the typings for millennials

[worthy comet]

sure but it can be classified with blobs

[celest maple]

I'm generation RTX

[sand barn]

Yes, the alpha palians... the Apalian

[umbral kernel]

It's just a defining characteristic of the social norms during a group's formative years.

[knotty ether]

okay all this talk on generations makes me want to give my opinion on horoscope signs. Who is not interested in my opinion?

[summer obsidian]

Wow, #3 and #4 are actually still pretty close on #📮│public-polls

[chilly comet]

Yeah, I too just found out I am one of (shall not be named.)

[novel plank]

i voted 3 😏

[knotty ether]

[redacted]

[worthy comet]

aight im going back to work... 😢

[sour gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-pity-reload-shotgun-gif-5160379

[umbral kernel]

Was only 6 difference earlier, 3 still losing ground.

[novel plank]

pls im curious about what they look like .

[viscid aurora]

I am happy to simp

[tough drum]

it feels so wrong

[wispy wyvern]

I voted for all of them but 3.

[regal swallow]

I personally picked 2, because I wanted the bigger surprises later

[celest maple]

3 is probably the least interesting

[opal shale]

we need a tall person to cosplay einar

[umbral kernel]

Like a third party vote, it just doesn't count.

[chilly comet]

Yeeeaaaah, I forgot they had changed it a while back and pushed my group into Millenial range.

[viscid aurora]

1 or 3

[magic mist]

check #🎭│palia-memes

[regal swallow]

I still voted what I wanted

[summer obsidian]

so...when is PaliaCon? 😛

[knotty ether]

4 is holding the alpha keys!

[novel plank]

mmm an elf i chose right

[viscid aurora]

palicon

[knotty ether]

[redacted]

[novel plank]

i love elves ;-;

[knotty ether]

fair

[umbral kernel]

I'll take an elf over the fat cat.

[summer obsidian]

I want to know what the "fat cat"'s race is called though...

[magic mist]

Diacatus (no idea)

[knotty ether]

also, it's a cat

[chilly comet]

Ha, I see what you did there.

[clear prism]

McCat

[umbral kernel]

With cheese?

[summer obsidian]

I'm not trying to eat him in a McSandwich though! haha

[regal swallow]

I wonder if the Cat has a cat pet

[knotty ether]

why dont we start another chapaa vs chu thing and say they are called flows?

[chilly comet]

Cheese is extra.

[obsidian crag]

it's a 4-eared snurf

[sand barn]

Incatption 🤔

[umbral kernel]

Snarf.

[vagrant coral]

@regal swallowwhat if he is the pet

[obsidian crag]

Snarf is Thundercats.

[knotty ether]

then the devs can reveal it to us on monday and we can start new factions and wars!

[summer obsidian]

the flows, haha! I don't know I have the energy for another naming debate

[sharp carbon]

has a single person gotten the key yet?

[knotty ether]

sooon

[umbral kernel]

Nope, they'll give a notification of invites being sent under announcements.

[summer obsidian]

[tough drum]

i often go with elves too. but i like wood/dark elves more than high elves.

[sharp carbon]

im really hoping for one

[magic mist]

you think they give them out one by one?

[knotty ether]

i almost always go wood elves

[summer obsidian]

You can check the developers lastest answers to questions in the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha channel

[knotty ether]

if i do go elves that is

[tough drum]

yeah wood elf druid type is my fav

[sharp carbon]

ehhh no ofc not but i was just guessing someone would've known if someone got one if alot of them got one

[regal swallow]

Do you think the Npcs would watch over our crafting like watch our crops?

[clear prism]

xeno races, witches, cult of cthulu, vampires

[obsidian crag]

I tend to pick races based on traits they offer in game that suit what I want to do, i've never really had a preference one way or another. i'll choose whichever combination let's me wander and explore and discover things and cook yakmoodogs over a campfire.

[summer obsidian]

Like when you're going out of town for the weekend?

[clear prism]

you guys are really into heresy

[knotty ether]

I only know these races through skyrim though. havent played many mmos so I dont know druid type stuff

[umbral kernel]

Could be fun to hire some workers.

[knotty ether]

usually go some kind of wood elf archer

[magic mist]

they mentioned, there would be an announcement in Discord, when the keys will go out to participants

[plush delta]

Good mornin'

Er, afternoon ^^'

[sharp carbon]

you guys prob dont know how many keys will be sent out right?

[wispy wyvern]

Keep it sfw, remember.

[plush delta]

;w; ah, why's everyone so nice here

[clear prism]

oke

[summer obsidian]

cause we loves you!!

[novel plank]

:)

[regal swallow]

They are entranced with the Palien Magic

[mystic gale]

Based on their answers yesterday we’re not expecting invites to happen for at least a few more weeks yet

[summer obsidian]

I'm def. not expecting them before the next Q&A on July 8th

[magic mist]

so many Chapaa vs Chuu fights!!

[mystic gale]

Most likely not

[novel plank]

I’m just so excited to eat this nice dinner tonight that I haven’t eaten all day 💀💀💀💀

[vagrant coral]

I think we'll have a date from their next q&a

[mystic gale]

Oooh what are you having?

[umbral kernel]

Everybody was Chapaa Fightiiiing. Dehdehdeh-Da-Deh deh deh deh.

[celest maple]

Can someone maybe help me figure out "An inherent part of providing that safety is that players know that they exist in a world largely devoid of physical, social, and emotional threats." and what it means to be emotionally/socially threatened in a video game?

[regal swallow]

Don't forget the sunscreen!

[novel plank]

Filet mignon with potatoes and some app that I’m not sure what yet and then for dessert keylime pie :)

[magic mist]

cant believe you missed out on Kung Chuu fighting

[plush delta]

The community

[novel plank]

From a restaurant in RI so I’m quite excited

[umbral kernel]

You know why.

[wispy wyvern]

That really should be obvious.

[whole shoal]

Basically every individual that doesn't agree with your point of view can feel emotionally threatened.

[magic mist]

because you’ve made a mistake 😂

[summer obsidian]

I think they mean it's just going to be a nice peaceful atmosphere where you can relax with friends. Not worry about someone stealing from you, killing you, griefing you, etc.

[mystic gale]

Mostly aggressive competition, theft, harassment, griefing, stuff like that

[celest maple]

Sorry, wasn't really obvious to me intitially. Thanks for the responses though.

[neon crag]

Ahoy

[celest maple]

You may have emotionally threatened them, Melleril.

[regal swallow]

Hi and welcome to Palia!!

[magic mist]

well this escalated quickly

[wispy wyvern]

No, just been a long day and fed up with inflammatory remarks when folks should know better.

[mystic gale]

That sounds amazing! I had a Porterhouse just last night that i broiled myself, came out perfecto

[magic mist]

Dont make Steve come here, chat

[clear prism]

It's actually kinda hard to protect Sims-type of players cause they are already enraged by online functions and stuff like autosafe function

[summer obsidian]

I vibe with Steve, haha! Don't pick on him

[mystic gale]

There really is no reason to bait people with petty stuff like that. It’s not about just points of view.

[magic mist]

See what u did!

[faint dawn]

Steve is here..

[regal swallow]

All the mods and devs can be my friends too.

[vast wyvern]

we friends now

[mystic gale]

We’re all friends

[stable oar]

Hey Eris! Thanks for the alpha key.

[languid sun]

[glad kayak]

, we're just here to enjoy the game too. really enjoy lurking tho ahaha. especially during work

[fallen sun]

mfw they just used my filename for the emote verbatim

[mystic gale]

They’ll announce it from the heavens when keys are going out, like a choir of angels and a blinding light from on high

[umbral kernel]

Seems the convo didn't escalate, so I can start speaking again, lol. Felt like it would be too easy to either take the bait or say juuuust the wrong thing.

[mystic gale]

Heavenly trumpets will sound forth

[magic mist]

I have bad news, people who use word “cray cray” are not kids anymore 😂

[vast wyvern]

I DON'T KNOW THO

[plush delta]

I'm going to be honest Batman... I don't care what the dog is doing..

[novel plank]

[viscid aurora]

Eris, I see you work with the "World and Expression" team. I understand the term "world", but what features would be covered by "Expression"?

[mystic gale]

I’m still on furlough from my job and therefore I still exist in the void outside time and space
