the litttle witch in the woods and sea of thieves and d&d

[cyan basin]

Stardew Valley consoles just got a patch

yeah, thanks Eligius, you are right, there's a complete section for 'other games' my bad

[south nimbus]

Its just that I got called out for that too haha xD

[hearty scaffold]

wait so has anyone actually played the game or is it still not released?

[bright forge]

No one played the game yet.

[hearty scaffold]

ah i really wanted to try it out

[bright forge]

It will go to pre-alpha state soon

[molten path]

Anywhere from a wee to two months for the first round of pre-alpha

[wispy wyvern]

As in right now it's pre-alpha. Alpha has yet to begin.

And tester invites have yet to be sent out

[bright forge]

It's not even in pre-alpha to be honest. At least we don't have access yet

Hi Kae! by the way.

[wispy wyvern]

Ola!

[cinder temple]

Games go through different stages of development before they get released in full to the public. In this case that means pre-alpha, alpha, beta, and then (hopefully) a final launch.

[bright forge]

Or... Early Access FOREVER!

but hopefully not

Guys I think we will not get 8k votes until time runs out

[molten path]

Rip

Oof, we are a good 2.8k short

Yet we have 30k online

[cinder temple]

We'll be fine; we just have to trick the devs into thinking that June 21st is double day.

[bright forge]

We have 5.282 votes right now

[mild wedge]

Votes for what?

[bright forge]

for #📮│public-polls

That is the problem no one knows about it!

[south nimbus]

Yeah true

[celest maple]

Rally the forces. Vote for all 3 lol

[void imp]

we have to make one of those "if this gets 300 likes mum will buy me a puppy" posts on facebook, but with this scenario

[bright forge]

I have done it already

[molten path]

We just have to to the whole day repeating thing from D.Gray-Man so we don't miss the deadline

[bright forge]

I tried letting peoples know on different channels but a lot of people just came here and don't check info

[regal swallow]

As I said before it's a gauge of engagement

Gives pie charts and percentages

[wispy wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/baboon-graph-gif-4657312

[regal swallow]

^ this is how many on the Palia Discord paying attention to the village vote.

[bright forge]

The problem is that it was added later I think and people saw that 3 won already and just don't voted at all!

[uncut bear]

That’s a fair point

[void imp]

ooh yeah :/

[uncut bear]

With how many people are in the discord this could very easily change. But people don’t vote

[regal swallow]

Another Fallacy. But in the end we get what we want at full release

[bright forge]

Many peoples also came ask "can they play the game right now" and when we them they just don't care anymore about discord but don't leave it either

[void imp]

and even if we might not have a secret character to look forward too: there has been an announcement for a shrew story with cats 👀

[uncut bear]

A what?!

[void imp]

a story from shrew :3

[south nimbus]

That sounds cooool

[bright forge]

Is shrew a storyteller?

[cinder temple]

A Shrew that shrieks and speaks.

[void imp]

:0 i thought that was common knowledge

[south nimbus]

Not at all haha

[bright forge]

I just ask to confirm

[void imp]

you're excused you're new

[void imp]

and i'm teasing

[south nimbus]

Yayyyy

[cinder temple]

Forest witches; always teasing young travelers.

[bright forge]

Ok guys but we need to think how to hit 8k votes

[void imp]

haha

[cinder temple]

I dunno, I think I'd rather the vote was representative of people's actual interest instead of being a tactical operation. If we don't get the bonus character this week, we'll get them in a later week and the hype will live a bit longer.

[bright forge]

we have 5.311 votes right now

[outer phoenix]

How does counting work though? If one person votes all three do they get 3 votes

[void imp]

they never said we only get one vote 😈

[cinder temple]

'If we reached over 8,000 votes combined' <-- They just add all the vote numbers.

[regal swallow]

Aww yes the story about Zeki our lovable Grimalkin.

[outer phoenix]

Interesting

[wispy wyvern]

Hype is really not going to be a problem.

[cinder temple]

Is it the one about Shrew bravely stealing Zeki's right pinkie finger?

[void imp]

oooh so that's the cat in question, makes sense

[regal swallow]

Did you all miss Einar and the Bobbles and 'My Little Shimmerfly'?

[wispy wyvern]

These guys are relatively new Shrew. They have yet to sample your tale telling.

[regal swallow]

Oh my apologies my newcomer Pals. I am Shrew the Storyteller.

[uncut bear]

Tell us a story plz

[left pebble]

Disturbo puts on his cloak and heads to the town plaza
Hello friends, I heard there might be some storytelling today?

[void imp]

don't feel pressured though

[left pebble]

Yeah, if you don't wanna I just might do one :p

[uncut bear]

me standing there in a poncho with a couple mugs on a tray
There’s been rumors but nothings happened yet. Milk?
i offer one of the mugs

[left pebble]

Ah yes I could use a drink! Disturbo takes the man on the offer, taking a long sip

[void imp]

(this is your reminder to hydrate, everyone)

[rain carbon]

Hello adventurers, I would like to remind you guys that we have a channel for non Palia related topics. You can post your stories on the #💬│off-topic-chat channel. Thank you

[uncut bear]

I started reading this like “oh someone’s telling a story! wait… Yeahh he’s got a point”

Will do turtle!

[left pebble]

The stories are themed on palia characters :D

[uncut bear]

Does that count?

[void imp]

we could tell them in off-topic and then post them to communit-art

[regal swallow]

Oh okay. First time for everything.

[lime forge]

I honestly cannot wait for this game lol.

[undone kite]

@lime forge Same

[lime forge]

gonna be so different

[undone kite]

Yeah, I'm excited to experience it and hope I get Alpha

[bright forge]

Guys remember to #📮│public-polls we need 3k more votes to reveal bonus character!

[civic basin]

Get those votes in Palians!

[distant lintel]

Will there be 2 handed swords?

[void imp]

no swords afawk, definitely no pvp or health bar or character death

[distant lintel]

how about daggers

[void imp]

we've only seen bows and tools

[cyan basin]

no energy either

[distant lintel]

how about Rage?

[cyan basin]

not as a game mechanic, but you are free to be as angry as you want

[wispy wyvern]

Nope, no rage

[distant lintel]

how can I be angry when there is lack of competition in the game.

[cyan basin]

we recommend you read the FAQ, then the sticky at the top of this section, then watch the trailer a couple more times, that's the fastest way to get answers

there is a ton of competition, just not violent competition

my kitchen is prettier than yours, my fish are bigger, my garden grows better, and Einar likes my pebbles best

[wispy wyvern]

No

It's not that kind of game

[cyan basin]

but seriously, this game won't be a good fit for everybody, it sounds like you'd like a more direct action game, not a laid back social game

[cloud fossil]

I can't wait to have the biggest fish 🙂

[empty hound]

cant wait for this chill and build game

[cyan basin]

mount it on a board and let it sing to you....

[kind nacelle]

You mean the 2nd biggest fish after mine ofc

[cloud fossil]

ahaha 😄

[wispy wyvern]

I want to aim for the smallest fish now. Huge plaque but with the tiniest minnow on it.

[cyan basin]

lol

You want GTA, then

[wispy wyvern]

Well goodnight folks.

[cyan basin]

at this point, you're just trolling, so....

[cinder temple]

See you around, Kae.

[molten path]

Night, Kae

[distant lintel]

no making points. I am sure it will happen unless the housing is 100% instanced

[void imp]

good night kae 🫂

[cyan basin]

neighborhoods are this game's version of guilds, so if you want to do that, go ahead, it won't affect most of the rest of the game.

if you don't have a neighborhood, you'll be put with random people until you do, btw

[void imp]

it looks like you wouldn't be able to mug. you can't attack or threaten other players in any way and since there is no character death the only way to get someone else's stuff is voluntary

[distant lintel]

so it is kind of like Wildstars housing. youenteract with a NPC and sends to your plot?

[cyan basin]

But, as I have said before, you can RP anything you want as long as you can get someone to go along with it

[static mango]

goodnight resident wolf

[molten path]

That sound like prime RP real-estate

[silk violet]

Yo when is the open beta for palia again?

[worthy bough]

i love how i can come to this server at 1am and it'll still be just as friendly and nice

[distant lintel]

wonder you can get buffs from stuff you put on your house. that helps you in the open world

[bright forge]

I don't know about beta but pre-alpha is

[cyan basin]

have you read the FAQ and the sticky? That will answer most of your questions

[silk violet]

Soon ™️

[cyan basin]

and with that, time to go to the grocery store, see you all later

[bright forge]

Guys remember to #📮│public-polls we need 3k more votes to reveal bonus character!

[celest maple]

so?

[blazing zodiac]

This game is going to be my favorite. I can no longer play other games by watching this one. Love it!

[celest maple]

if we wait, its more mysterious when they are revealed

[cinder temple]

Wait a minute, first I need to know how you De-cleesed John.

[bright forge]

Men I'm here since 4th I need more!

[celest maple]

with my decleeser

[distant lintel]

warned for talking about how to potentially use a system?

nice

[celest maple]

Steve's definitely a lad. "Hello, fellow kids!"

Any fun discussions this weekend I've missed? Been a bit preoccupied with work~

[distant lintel]

all I talked about was 2 handed swords and mking a ghetto neighborhoods.

[celest maple]

sus

[cinder temple]

Shrew may or may not live in a mailbox, people are getting antsy about the villager vote, a story was almost told in palia-chat, and John Decleesed has De-cleesed John Cleese with a decleeser instead of standard-issue cleese tweezers.

And there might be a player run tavern called the Pebbledrop Pint once the game gets going, if such buildings are possible.

[loud axle]

Scribbling notes I see, I see...

[void imp]

also villager vote is looking fat below 8k

[loud axle]

Yeah a lot of the hype has died down from last weekend unfortunately but it's to be expected.

[void imp]

oh lol goldfish brain sorry simuel

[loud axle]

Did we ever figure out the PRESSING issue of whether or not geese exist in Palia?

[cinder temple]

All is forgiven, but I wouldn't turn down an acorn as tribute once Palia is live.

[loud axle]

Need to go watch the trailer again to look for any fowl...

[void imp]

i'm making the i.o.u as we speak

[frank warren]

hey

[lethal ruin]

Heya

[cinder temple]

Ahoy hoy.

[frank warren]

how are you guys ?

[languid sun]

Anyway since Roan and the other regulars are here, I would like to announce that this is my last day as moderator for this Discord, as I am needed elsewhere starting tomorrow...

[celest maple]

heyyyyyyy

[lethal ruin]

Good good, you?

[magic mist]

No

[frank warren]

im good ^^

[magic mist]

you 're not leaving us, Steve

[frank warren]

just bored as hell and needy

besides that, i guess i can survive

[languid sun]

Please give the same support and solidarity you've shown me and Daphne, to these two new mods @spring rivet and @rain carbon, who are every bit as competent as we are

[lethal ruin]

Haha know the feeling

[cinder temple]

Sad to hear it. Your quickdraw moderation and excellent memery will be missed.

[loud axle]

Steve! 😦 So sad to see you go, but good luck on your future endeavors! Will you be joining us in Palia when it launches?

[languid sun]

The new mods will learn in no time

[languid sun]

If I get a key, sure

[loud axle]

Hope to see ya in-game then!

[languid sun]

You've been a pretty easy-to-mod community despite being more than 80k, I hope you keep it up

[magic mist]

what will I do with all the Steve Buscemi memorabilia, I got in ebay?! it is still being delivered, I planed it for bribes

[frank warren]

Well, do you guys have plans when the game launches?

[languid sun]

w-well I uh

[cinder temple]

Well it's not like Steve's going to bip out of existence in a Thanos event. He'll still exist, somewhere.

[lime forge]

Somewhere lost in Time.

[cinder temple]

Sometimes I can still hear his .gifs.

[loud axle]

He actually has to go back to Neverland so he stays young forever.

[celest maple]

steve is a handsome person

[magic mist]

Jokes aside, thanks for hanging out with us. Been a pleasure 🙂

[languid sun]

I may return in the distant future as Nucky Thompson

[languid sun]

likewise

[alpine lodge]

Do we know how many pre-alpha players they'll be?

[cinder temple]

1,400 to start.

[alpine lodge]

wow

more then i was expecting

[void imp]

i'll forward your sweet sweet gooodbye message to the other regulars not here right now <3 you're a legend, i wish you all the best for the future.

[loud axle]

Drop in on us anytime, Steve~

[languid sun]

You too!

[frank warren]

hopefully i will be one of them

[alpine lodge]

Same

[uncut bear]

Thank you for your service ! @languid sun

[regal swallow]

Stay Safe Steve for all the adventures you have in front of you!

[languid sun]

You too! I am glad I am finally free of your dad jokes though

[loud axle]

Don't forget pre-alpha is mainly for testing purposes, though I do agree it'd be amazing to get an early peak at what the game has to offer. ❤️ Hopefully we'll all have a space in the full alpha!

[austere nacelle]

I'm just waiting in my gmail for the key
am super hyped!

[lime forge]

had anybody gotten a key yet?

[loud axle]

Nope.

[lime forge]

._ .

[lyric ether]

Depending on how strict their NDA is, people may not even be able to tell you that they got the key.

[loud axle]

There will be an announcement made here on Discord when they go out so stay tuned~

[lime forge]

oh you know what that’s true.

I didn’t even think about that.

[loud axle]

Yeah individual people may not be able to say whether or not they get it, but Nel's said they'll let us know when they do distribute them. 🙂

[languid sun]

The NDA will stipulate that any question can only be answered with the emoji, and nothing else

[uncut bear]

[alpine lodge]

[cinder temple]

Pre-alpha keys haven't been released yet, but you know what has? ...Ze-key.

[lime forge]

v.v

[molten path]

I still refuse to acknowledge geese as anything other than a social construct.

[lyric ether]

isn't that characters name pretty close to a virus's name

[uncut bear]

@austere nacelle @lime forge
You can learn more about the game here!

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E

[loud axle]

I mean... I was once writing a story and named a character "Renal" SOOOOOO

[austere nacelle]

mb

[alpine lodge]

I'm guessing people will stream it when they get a key

[austere nacelle]

🤡

[alpine lodge]

unless there not aloud

[undone tartan]

The pre-alpha will have a nondisclosure agreement.

[loud axle]

That wouldn't be allowed under the NDA, people would lose access - and possibly have legal action taken

[lime forge]

I figured.

[alpine lodge]

Makes sense

[lime forge]

either way tho… I’m still excited.

[cinder temple]

A lot of things can change between early testing and the release of a game, so usually people involved in the testing are asked not to reveal details as this can cause a lot of problems. People form expectations based on information that may change, competitors might steal ideas, assets might be leaked before they're finalized, that kind of thing.

[lyric ether]

NDA while playing you must put a blanket over your head and monitor so not even your family can see the content.

[alpine lodge]

I really need to read the docs to catch up on everything

[lime forge]

yes you do

[alpine lodge]

You don't play like that anyway?

[lyric ether]

only when it's really cold

[loud axle]

It's a lot of info, just keep in mind the game is still in development so anything in there shouldn't be taken as absolute truth as it's all changing day by day.

[pearl ore]

Except chapaa. Chapaa is truth

[alpine lodge]

Yeah I get that

[loud axle]

Chapaa is a myth. Only Chu exist.

[pearl ore]

Agree to chapaagree

[cinder temple]

The horrible twist of fate when Chapaa and Chuu are replaced at launch day and renamed Steeve and Stuu.

[languid sun]

He is spitting facts

[lyric ether]

not gonna lie, I would hate to be a developer. One word about something that is currently in the plans, but changes later.... and suddenly everyone starts claiming you broke promises.

[cinder temple]

It's why it's hard to be a weatherman.

[loud axle]

@spring rivet Aren't ducks social constructs as well? 👀

[lime forge]

oh no. 😂

[languid sun]

birds of flight are government inventions injected into our history as their most powerful tool of surveillance

[pearl ore]

The important thing to remember is that some people will claim the devs promised things they never actually promised, then get angry for not keeping the promises they never made in the first place

[molten path]

All fowl are social constructs when you think about it

[spring rivet]

I'm just quacking by 🦆

[languid sun]

ok he do be spittin' facts as well

[loud axle]

This is true. But geese are just the most violent of them all. Thus my fear that I may be attacked by a goose in Palia...

[languid sun]

these mods will do great

[rain carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-conspiracy-time-tin-foil-hat-gif-20017112

[cinder temple]

Your name is single6ipro but you are clearly double ducks.

[loud axle]

I call a future war: no longer Chapaa vs Chu, but Duck vs Turtle

[lyric ether]

it would be foolish to ever believe that a promise was made. Promises tend to be avoided, beyond the very general scope of the product they plan to deliver.

[loud axle]

How did you get this gif of me!?

[cinder temple]

Oy, don't drive a rift between the grand Durtle alliance.

[loud axle]

Puts on tinfoil hat

[languid sun]

Something like this would require me returning as a mod

[spring rivet]

tbh, i don't even know how i got this name 😆 i was drunk while creating this discord

[molten path]

I am legally obligated to be on team turtle because of a book series I'm reading

[cinder temple]

Mood. I wasn't drunk when I made mine; just existential.

[loud axle]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-emperors-new-groove-its-all-coming-together-gif-12813012

[rain carbon]

my mouth is sealed! 😆

[lyric ether]

That is one thing being a developer and being a doctor seem to have in common. Making promises is generally avoided.

[pearl ore]

how well do turtle mouths seal?

[lime forge]

I also understand

[loud axle]

Yeah, I think they had to switch to the official Q&A format because it was just too chaotic with different devs giving potentially misleading info on things lol

[topaz forge]

I’m so sorry excited for this game 🙂

[void imp]

oh sorry for the ping @languid sun but your choice of words earlier led me to wonder whether daphne is leaving us as well

[rain carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/turtle-smile-gif-11432101

[lime forge]

don’t be sorry we just talkin v.v

[lyric ether]

We need some Chappa Gifs

[pearl ore]

i regret everything

[loud axle]

Thanks, gonna have nightmares now.

[loud axle]

Nel did Tweet Thursday or Friday that she was making gifs from in-game... 👀

[rain carbon]

sorry about that

[cinder temple]

A slightly less horrifying turtle (and then back to Palia chat; scout's honor).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRTCwquyCHc

[loud axle]

"I should be sleeping but instead I'm running around the game creating gifs for the community." Though I was wrong, that was on Wednesday 👀

I can't decide if S6 would be amused or annoyed if I simply asked "Geese?" in #851872239435644928 🤔

[lyric ether]

that is totally going to be chappa, what else could it be. Although I could see a meme gif with Zeki dangling alpha keys.

[nimble idol]

I asked "Fish?", you're good to go

[loud axle]

Oh 100%. I'm sure Einar blinking will be one as well.

The deed has been done.

Untitled Palia Game.

[lime forge]

Secret Boss Geese ???

[loud axle]

Hey, "a world largely devoid of physical, social, and emotional threats" IMPLIES that there will be no geese. But I have to make sure.

The key word is "LARGELY"

[cinder temple]

The ruins weren't built to keep adventurers out; they were built to keep geese in.

[uncut bear]

The chances of getting attacked by a goose is low… but never zero

[molten path]

In the grimdark future of Geesehammer 40k one question echos out into the void; Geese?

[nimble idol]

it is NOT low

[lime forge]

if we have health bars… we’ll know

[nimble idol]

https://tenor.com/view/birds-kid-nope-run-attack-gif-11840434

[undone tartan]

You're never more than five miles away from a goose. And they know that, too.

[uncut bear]

Is this a threat

[cinder temple]

They only show up when a threat is nearby. You hear the deep orchestral music beginning to rise. A light mist curls at your ankles. A red bar slowly phases into the top level corner of the screen as a distant honk sounds from the bushes ahead. Stand your ground or return to town (y/n)

[lime forge]

Yes.

[loud axle]

Shrew, I'm going to need a scary story revolving around geese, please.

[undone tartan]

Legend says if you survive their vicious attacks, you'll change into something... bestial.

[lime forge]

Roll to befriend Geese-

[frank warren]

hey

[molten path]

B-but I'm not near any bodies of water. That means I'm safe right? Right?!

[uncut bear]

Goose 2.0

[cinder temple]

Congratulations, you now have an entire goose to decorate your home. Sometimes it gives you eggs.

Silly Jnarble. Geese can survive on any amount of water- you are never safe from a goose.

[lime forge]

Ima befriend all the Geese

[loud axle]

So to completely change the subject... I wonder how we will "reemerge" into Palia. Curious if, just like in the trailer, we just wake up in a field of flowers or if we'll actually have a cinematic of our character arriving on a boat, through a portal, etc.

[nimble idol]

I hope we fall from the sky

[cinder temple]

I'm hoping for a clumsy introduction a la Mr. Bean.

[undone tartan]

I like the whole "wake up in a field of flowers" thing. It sounds mysterious.

[cinder temple]

Yes, this. Just yeeted down from the heavens.

[loud axle]

Yeah, I finally realized while watching the trailer today that the fade-in from black kind of looks like you're opening your eyes to the world.

[lime forge]

like a dream.

[void imp]

that is a really fun part of the game to think about 🤔

[frank warren]

yeah

[cinder temple]

Humans return many years after wrecking Palia and an away team is selected to see if it's habitable again yet only to find other species have taken over the planet.

[uncut bear]

Where we dropping boys?

[undone tartan]

Reminds me of a story of Zee Bashew's first D&D character. Guy made a half angel/half demon edgelord, only to make him fall out of the sky for his introduction- and the DM accepted it, made him take hundreds of falling damage, and then gave him a Hafling Rouge to play.

[lime forge]

Tilted Towers

[loud axle]

Soooo the 100

[molten path]

Just a huge rift opens up in the sky and the next thing you know Its raining men

[cinder temple]

Less gritty, but sure!

[loud axle]

*fellas

(Everyone hating on that new Todrick Hall video and I thought it was a BOP)

[cinder temple]

I kinda like the thought of Humans being a mysterious, fabled race in Palia, with big expectations on their shoulders based on what little is known or remembered of their previous civilization.

[ocean smelt]

Lmao

Get your umbrellas

[molten path]

Meanwhile humanity is just like: Ah yes geese.

[cinder temple]

Einar calmly catching the falling screaming people and setting them aside, blinking occasionally.

[loud axle]

I wonder if we can expect some opposition to our return! Only seems natural, honestly.

[lime forge]

no thanks

let’s just all love each other 🖤

[cinder temple]

That could be a good way to introduce low-grade conflict for story purpose. I imagine that element would be separate from the basics of the game.

[loud axle]

For sure. Whether it's just people not trusting us or what not. Honestly that might inform a lot of NPC dialogue and be a main purpose of the gifting / befriending system.

Because, y'know, just like in real life... You make people like you by giving them presents every day. 😄

[cinder temple]

Right, and there'd be quests or events based around gaining the trust of people who aren't sure about humans.

[molten path]

Yo, that means we could have a reputation/honor system

[cinder temple]

Sort of like if the mothership landed in, let's say, Montana, people might ultimately wind up on the same side, but there'd be a little squinting prior to that.

[uncut bear]

That would be cool

[void imp]

@loud axle story time in off-topic

oh could have pinged you there lol

sorry guys

[molten path]

Its all good

[loud axle]

It's far from an exact reputation / honor system but My Time at Portia had a fun "perk" system for relationships that I'd love to see carried over. As you gain trust / friendship with people you get small perks, like discounts, more money when you sell things, etc.

[tough orchid]

It’s really beautiful if you think about it. There’s thousands of cultures all over the world that’d give anything to know their past ancestral roots or where their families originated.

[loud axle]

What did you have in mind for a reputation system?

[worldly lily]

Hey again 🙂

That list of people on the right keeps getting longer 😒

[lyric ether]

killerkaty? that reminds me of my days on the WoW forums, except I think that person was killercaitie or something more along those lines

[mystic gale]

Why that face?

[worldly lily]

Killercathy kathy on katie I been them all LOL

Now I am Casey Katt on FF14 lol

[molten path]

Probably something along the lines of getting a small boost to your rep every time you do something that helps the villagers. Once you get high enough rep you might star getting gifts from villagers or small discount from shops. But your rep would slowly decrease to certain thresholds over time

[loud axle]

Steve said last week the rate of people joining this Discord was... two every 10 minutes I think? Or maybe I'm way off lol. Wonder if it's slowed down more

[worldly lily]

I have so many IN game names I need a list 😒

[lyric ether]

have not played ff14 in ages been thinking of making a switch back

[tough orchid]

As more people join the discord and I hear their wonderful theories, valid opinions and concerns, as much as it pains me, I want the game to come out in 2023 just so the devs have the perfect amount of time to work on such a loved game already

[cinder temple]

It'll probably dip and spike a lot until release day. It'll show up in an article or a teaser video will go out and you'll see another barrel of people dumping into the server.

[worldly lily]

Everyone do not forget to go to villager-vote and vote we need 8000 to see new character

we long way off 😦

[loud axle]

Yeah 3k more needed by tomorrow which probably isn't too feasible.

Don't forget you can vote for all three though 😉

[worldly lily]

remember make new accounts vote soon and vote often LOL

[lyric ether]

if the 3k people that voted for 3 voted for all 3 we would have the combined votes.

[molten path]

We just need someone to put LA in a time loop 'till we get to 8k

[summer obsidian]

Don't forget to go vote for the NPC(s) you would like to see unveiled next on the #📮│public-polls channel!! Make your vote count for more by voting for all THREE! Also, make sure to go to #📃│server-directory and check ✅ that you would like to be notified next time there is a vote!

Heeeeyooo! 😛

[loud axle]

Not that I would ever, y'know, encourage people to cheat. But you can vote for all three, so.... 🙂

[regal swallow]

5.4k

[flat agate]

I put down a vote, I hope we'll get enough 🙂

[summer obsidian]

We're getting down to the wire...I'm encouraging people to vote for all three now, bwahaha

[void imp]

i don't think they ever said we're not allowed to vote for more than one

[worldly lily]

I use to live in the land of whats in it for me I learned at an early age even the dead rise to vote in Chicago LOL

[molten path]

Thats like 200 more votes since last time I checked.

[loud axle]

Nel literally didn't even think about it until Overflow Plays pointed it out lol

[lime forge]

oh lol

[tough orchid]

Oh wait Monday is tomorrow

[regal swallow]

yep

[tough orchid]

Pain

[regal swallow]

Rush Time!

[worldly lily]

Dont remind me tomorrow is Monday have to sign in and go back to work online 😦

[loud axle]

I wonder if we're gonna get trolled tomorrow with like "well you got 3/4 of the way there so here's 3/4 of a reveal" lol

[worldly lily]

work from home sucks when you dont want to get up 😦

[patent dust]

idk about you but if someone gave me a present every single day it would be very strange lol

[summer obsidian]

I even did the unthinkable...I tagged asmongold on Twitter and asked him to get the message out to his people (which you know he gets pinged probably every 33 seconds, so I'm positive he didn't see it)

[viscid aurora]

what is occuring fellow humans

[molten path]

I have to wake up at like 6 so I can get my hours approved for the week. So I feel ya.

[flat agate]

Considering how lopsided the votes are a lot probably didn't realize you could vote for all three

[loud axle]

Depends. If it's food, sign me up. I'm VERY food motivated.

[summer obsidian]

haha, Will become friends for food

[viscid aurora]

food is the way to a persons heart

[loud axle]

But if we're talking twelve days of Christmas here, that'd be weird. Like, what am I gonna do with seven swans a-swimming?

[worldly lily]

so far we have solved world hunger cancer and global warming here and even discussed the game in depth

[tough orchid]

Good food can sway the hardest of hearts, the strongest of minds 😜

[languid sun]

Nope, just me

[patent dust]

im more alcohol motivated but food is pretty good too

[void imp]

thanks steve!

[molten path]

I bribe my friends with my home cooking

[patent dust]

gimme a bottle of crown royal and ill be your friend

[loud axle]

Steve, do you know the current rate of people joining Discord? 😮

[worldly lily]

crown yuck go with soju lol

[loud axle]

I bake~ Together we shall be UNSTOPPABLE.

[patent dust]

wait i just caught up steve is leaving??? D:

[languid sun]

A tad slower than before, roughly one every 1.5 mins

[tough orchid]

I want to learn my mom’s recipes, I recently bought a typewriter so I can catalog them

[patent dust]

but hes the best mod!

[summer obsidian]

wait what!? Steve can't leave!! I forbid it!

[molten path]

Bet, I will do it

[worldly lily]

typewriter? they still make them

[left pebble]

Ah sad to see you go Steve! Good luck in the next moderating venture

[tough orchid]

Hell yeah, mines from the 90s so it’s electric

[cinder temple]

Steves do what Steves wanna do.

[worldly lily]

If Steve leaves can I have his snack tray?

[languid sun]

I must ban, kick and mute elsewhere...

[patent dust]

whos gunna steve us now?

[tough orchid]

You’re doing gods work my son

[worldly lily]

Steve leave your ban hammer by the door

[patent dust]

[worldly lily]

Gives Steve a big ol kiss and a hug you make em fear the hammer elsewhere 😉

[languid sun]

We have two new mods in place @rain carbon and @spring rivet (they will be around tomorrow) guided by myself and Daphne

[shrewd fiber]

I walk in and we're losing our favorite Steve?

[languid sun]

They should do very well

[tough orchid]

Oh?

[patent dust]

fresh meat mods or just new to this server?

[cinder temple]

The new mods, chuckling nervously as the server membership increases by the minute.

[languid sun]

Just new to the server ;)

[lime forge]

I’ll name my Goose after you, Steve

[languid sun]

Good

[worldly lily]

Steve isnt a real masochist should stay and enjoy the abuse

[patent dust]

welp, prepare the hazing rituals

[tough orchid]

Steve, I’ll name my pet igneous rock after you 😭

[regal swallow]

Do they know the Yakmoo ropes yet?

[cinder temple]

Turtle's got the right idea; they came with a shell.

[languid sun]

They may need some orienting on our inside jokes but they have the best intentions

[summer obsidian]

Steve I'll...probably not name anything after you...but you will be missed 😛

[molten path]

Is this how you get a ban hammer?

[worldly lily]

LOL by Tuesday we will be saying Steve who was that 😦

[languid sun]

Not really

[molten path]

My dreams have been crushed

[regal swallow]

Steve is just going on a long adventure on his get rich scheme

[cinder temple]

Steve got his ban hammer back when Radioshack was still a thing. Full vintage.

[patent dust]

has radioshack ever really existed?

[summer obsidian]

First #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha and now Steve? All good things must end in the Palia Discord 😭

[loud axle]

...I actually had a dream last night the server was being spammed with nsfw images and Steve was nowhere to be seen. D: It was a premonition!

[tough orchid]

Steve you mustn’t forget us, for we led you towards the light

[carmine relic]

Radioshack... that's a name I haven't seen in ages.

[cinder temple]

It's what the history books claim.

[languid sun]

I may return in another incarnation...

[patent dust]

next youre gunna tell me love shack was a good song and caddy shack was a good movie

[carmine relic]

I was in a radioshack multiple times! I know it!

[molten path]

Trying real hard not to make an FLCL reference right now

[lavish remnant]

I thought I saw a radioshack once but a friend informed it was just an old radio IN a shack.

[cinder temple]

Yes, a Chapaa NPC named Steet.

[languid sun]

next incarnation gets banned immediately after breaking rules within 30 seconds

[worldly lily]

Discord is a bad Mistress work you to death then throw you on the trash pile 😦

[patent dust]

i wont let you get banned steve, its alright

[tough orchid]

In-game npc named Steve that is a BOUNCER AT THE TAVERN LETS GOOO

[languid sun]

It's more of relocating me to a different post/jurisdiction that needs my help

[loud axle]

Steve is going to the why Japanese developer like white cotton panties and leather skirts on their female characters channel

[cinder temple]

They do, it's really neat to watch. If you highlight a few of them and hit ctrl+c, you can move multiple mods at once.

[patent dust]

HA

[loud axle]

wut

[patent dust]

i get it

[languid sun]

NO YOU CAN'T TELL THEM

[cinder temple]

Steve, you can't hide the truth from these people; they're gamers. It never works.

[tough orchid]

Hahaha I put you in a recycling bin

[worldly lily]

TY for all your hard work Steve you kept us safe and the channel G rated 🙂

[loud axle]

G? That's debatable...

[lime forge]

Daphne and The Crew.

[worldly lily]

OK PG 😒

[molten path]

Closer to pg-13

[bright forge]

Hope to see you in game pal

[patent dust]

but will we be fine without you?

[languid sun]

You most likely will

[languid sun]

Yes, for you no longer need me

[patent dust]

steve already has pre-alpha access he just never told us

[languid sun]

I am needed elsewhere

[worldly lily]

Steve has one of th egolden tickets for game entry

[faint dawn]

Palia Log day 17: " Traffic into the Palia community has steadily slowed. We were informed we get a Palian once every minute and a half. Some of these newcomers seem confused at the sanctuary that is.. Palia... They will learn, oh. Yes, they will learn. 'one of us, one of us, one of us!' I SHALL SHOW THEM THE SACRED TEXTS!! -Breaks out all the faqs-

Excitement still grows for the game. People badly want to play. Once Pre-Alpha starts I imagine things will get more than a bit crazy. I look forward to every bit of it."

[loud axle]

We already have! Points at Steve in the trailer

[loud axle]

What is this Nanny McPhee or something

[worldly lily]

Going to be like Willy wonka to get into the game

[patent dust]

Listen, I work with what I have.

[patent dust]

wtf is yawl

[languid sun]

ya'll

[molten path]

I don't wanna think about that game

[patent dust]

oh

[cinder temple]

A Yondu reference.

[patent dust]

yawl sounds like you messed up saying yawp

[tough orchid]

Steve has taught us everything we know, since he’s to scared that his pupils will defeat him, he flees to a new Discord to train even stronger communities. Such is the cycle of life of the noble defender.

[cinder temple]

What in the world is yawp?

[patent dust]

a yell

[worldly lily]

Steve just going to a channel that has better snacks and drinks

not your typical red bull and Twinkies it will have flavored water and fresh baked cookies

[languid sun]

Truffle mac n cheese

and vanilla coke

[tough orchid]

YO I JUST HAD THAT RECENTLY ITS GAS

[patent dust]

any other server is about as flavored as la croix

[patent dust]

it is gas or gives you gas?

[tough orchid]

Yes and yes

[worldly lily]

could it actually have a make your own sundae bar 😮

I would go to that channel just for that

[tough orchid]

Anyone else think pistachio ice cream is highly underrated

[cinder temple]

Speaking of sundaes; making ice cream in Palia. How do you think they keep things cold? Or do they?

[ornate ocean]

magic @cinder temple

Also good morning everybody!

[worldly lily]

Hey Dragom 🙂

[late nest]

Pistachio ice cream tastes like cherry pits .. you can look up the science but pistachio basically loses its flavor when vanilla extract is added

[void imp]

did you see the fridge in the trailer?

[molten path]

Where is it morning rn?

[patent dust]

theres a fridge in the trailer

[ornate ocean]

@molten path Tokyo!

[loud axle]

There's technology in Palia, there's a fridge in the trailer.

[patent dust]

then again we dont put ice cream in the fridge

[void imp]

hahaha

[worldly lily]

I prefer cookie dough ice cream

[tough orchid]

Hmm I will do some more research in flavor chemistry

[cinder temple]

I know, but I'm curious to see what powers it.

[patent dust]

mint chocolate ship is the best ice cream flavor and anyone who says otherwise is just wrong

[molten path]

Makes sense its almost sunset in Arizona

[ornate ocean]

Caramel/cookie/chocolate > anything else

chocolate chip cookie best cookie

[worldly lily]

hamster in a cage power for the frig

[loud axle]

Hmm fair. Wonder how advanced technology is in Palia. We see a lot of windmills, but...

[tough orchid]

I don’t want it to be true but maybe Shimmerflies

[cinder temple]

Chapaa wheels.

[patent dust]

my guess is magitech

[loud axle]

I love that actually. Chus in wheels.

[ornate ocean]

@patent dust It might be called manapunk, but I'm not sure about that

[patent dust]

[ornate ocean]

Did they leave for personal reasons, or?..

[molten path]

Oof thats only 2% of the server

[regal swallow]

Steve the Snowman

[loud axle]

He got pulled to another server

Discord mods go where they're needed~

Like the wind~

[worldly lily]

Left cause we drove him crazy now going to the insane institute for rehab

[patent dust]

yeah, people dont read channels, even if they did an @ everyone, 90% of the server would clear it without even looking

[void imp]

may the stars be forever in your favour stevie 🌟

[ornate ocean]

As a fellow community mod, I can understand

[patent dust]

i hope he doesnt run into spiderman

[worldly lily]

[molten path]

If you need help bleed and scream.

[brisk ivy]

Snack or sack. That's what momma always used to say.

Steve is always here, in our community training

[mystic gale]

What if Steve were actually his own reincarnation?

[molten path]

Steve's alt has been the imposter among us all along

[gleaming belfry]

amogus?

[uncut bear]

Steve gets a character arc

Where are these villagers being revealed? Is it just the picture on the page in the Discord channel, or is there a description or something posted online?

[summer obsidian]

Yeah, the profile of the character gets posted here and on twitter...one like this:

No news on Alpha...still

[uncut bear]

Yes overlord overflow

[regal swallow]

I see 3 mondays minimum before a pre-alpha announcement

[mellow verge]

I see somene else knows this game

[tardy fjord]

do we know how many invites are going out?

[regal swallow]

1400

[uncut bear]

1400

[summer obsidian]

The beach this weekend had reserved me my own area to park...

[tardy fjord]

do they have any big named streamers planning on playing?

[summer obsidian]

https://ibb.co/0c9srgq

[shut hinge]

I imagine they can't offer streamers to play it right now cause everything is under nda

[elder scaffold]

I think with the influx of community members (10k in just a few days) since the announcement, the devs are probably scared to death to even get the alpha started. I would be.

[regal swallow]

They know we love them, as they share cryptic messages

[uncut bear]

Code?!

Quick intercept them!

[tardy fjord]

as long as they dont pull a cyberpunk they should be good

[lone crane]

1400 and 1000 of those invites will go to me and me alone.

[regal swallow]

just don't rush them, and the time and effort will be very wholesome

[uncut bear]

Share

[lone crane]

With me and my million email sign ups

[regal swallow]

They have a bot for that

[lone crane]

I'll sell them off, 25 cent a code. I'll be rich.

[elder scaffold]

I just hope that the people that get into a pre-alpha understand that its about focus testing, bug hunting, and testing an unfinished product, as opposed to "early access" or "I'm going to learn all the secrets before release"

[lone crane]

All I'm gonna try to do is see if I can duplicate items for thousands of in-game cash monies

[summer obsidian]

For real! I was testing Ashes of Creation on Friday (in Alpha 1) and the rubberbanding was INTENSE! It was almost unplayable...but that's the nature of Alpha

[tardy fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-pumba-hunting-bugs-gif-8591753

bug hunting

[lone crane]

Be the first to buy the expensive 10 million monies crown or whatever

[elder scaffold]

I'm going to do a fair amount of line/zone tripping and server save dupe exploits I know of in mmo's of the past.

[tardy fjord]

I am trying to get out of the map

was my favorite thing to do in wow back in the day, getting out of bounds

[lone crane]

Can't lure monsters into town to kill NPCs or spread some deadly air disease 🤔

[tardy fjord]

ah yes corrupting blood

[lone crane]

Must figure out some way to make NPCs impossible to interact with

[tardy fjord]

fun fact that actually helpped the CDC with corona virus

You did amazing getting a ton of people to vote

[summer obsidian]

hehe, thanks. Will be going into overdrive in the morning to try to get more before morning in West Coast 😛

maybe people who check it at work, but not during the weekend

[shut hinge]

Honestly it's probably more that most people just don't really care about the npcs right now when most of the game is this great unknown so it's hard to get as excited as the small percentage of people who are.

[lone crane]

Going too hard for too little.

[summer obsidian]

It's our first community challenge, why not have fun with it? 😛

I'm not going to sob in the corner or anything if we don't get it (maybe)

[shut hinge]

Personally I think the npc's are cool and I appreciate the work but untill I know anything about the game beyond the little we know I'm probably going to avoid getting too attached. I might end up hating the game and then it'd be awkward.

[uncut bear]

We got so faaaaaar

[little silo]

I'll sink hundreds of hours into optimizing production and distribution. But won't be bothered to spend 6 seconds adding votes. I'm ready for this dang game.

[summer obsidian]

Don't forget to go vote for the NPC(s) you would like to see unveiled next on the #📮│public-polls channel!! Make your vote count for more by voting for all THREE! Also, make sure to go to #📃│server-directory and check ✅ that you would like to be notified next time there is a vote!

[uncut bear]

You’re uping your game. The last reminder was 15 minutes ago

[fringe minnow]

Poor vampire looking guy, he's gonna be last

[elder scaffold]

lol

New bee_dragon avatar!

[summer obsidian]

I've been shooting for 15 minutes (unless chat is super slow...not trying to spam)

[uncut bear]

That’s not entirely true. It’s possible a bunch of people who voted three have two as their second choice

[shut hinge]

I honestly would say it’s probably better to do them every couple of hours otherwise it kinda comes off as spam 15 mins isn’t really enough cool down period

[summer obsidian]

I just know people lurk (because I do alot myself). So there may be someone lurking who doesn't necessarily know what's going on with the vote. So figured it helps keep it on people's minds...but def. don't want to bother anyone

[shut hinge]

I think reminding people is fine but maybe just not as much

But that might just be me 😅

[uncut bear]

I think it’s nice to actively try to reach the goal

[loud axle]

I'm sure Nel will appreciate the effort lol

[regal swallow]

We all make the community better together

[final loom]

heLLOO

[uncut bear]

Heya 👋

[brittle lance]

Good morning

[uncut bear]

Mornin

[brittle lance]

Does anyone know where / when the questions in #851872239435644928 will be answered?

[uncut bear]

No idea

[summer obsidian]

July 8th!

They aren't going to answer all of them, but that's the next Q&A

and it will be answered in the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha channel

[uncut bear]

I had no idea! Now I have a certain date to look forward to!

[summer obsidian]

haha!!

[brittle lance]

Well, the last time they sad that there was over 300 questions, so cold not answer all of them, ofc.
But they only did answer 8 or 9 of them, I think... So I thought I missed where they answered questions. I am hoping for a bit more for the next one.

[summer obsidian]

yeah, they were going to do them weekly, but they decided to move it to monthly so they could have time to go through the questions and get the correct people in the company to answer them. So they will probably answer more than last time.

With that said, all questions need to be asked by June 24th. They will be closing #851872239435644928 at that time to give them two weeks to sort through the questions

[brittle lance]

That also sounds fair.

[uncut bear]

This is important information

[latent rampart]

Any ETA until alpha or beta is released?

[summer obsidian]

not yet,

[thick slate]

Nom nom

[vapid dawn]

I think I just found my new favorite emote there

[latent rampart]

Whats more important is they take their time

I was just curious 🙂

[vapid dawn]

Mhm, don't rush developers ❤️

Aw darn, I can't use my normal Nitro emojis here

[latent rampart]

This game makes me want to grind like in runescape

but also has that harvest moon/stardew valley vibes

[torpid sandal]

i wanna unlock the story behind this game so badly,,,,,,,,,,

wait- youre

[torpid sandal]

hello sibling of mine

honestly tho all the ruins around in the trailer make me wanna know what happens

[vapid dawn]

:Def

[latent rampart]

I'd be okay going in completely blind

[vapid dawn]

don't expose me like that lmao

[spring talon]

[torpid sandal]

kinda same, but i wanna know what happens like right now that im not sure how long imma be able to wait

[torpid sandal]

[vapid dawn]

[brittle lance]

@torpid sandal You just have to wait til it is finished. Just wait! Don't rush!

[torpid sandal]

haha i am waiting im just very excited

[brittle lance]

But do you want a rushed game?

[torpid sandal]

nope

thats why im fine with waiting

[spring talon]

[summer obsidian]

Don't forget to go vote for the NPC(s) you would like to see unveiled next on the #📮│public-polls channel!! Make your vote count for more by voting for all THREE! Also, make sure to go to #📃│server-directory and check ✅ that you would like to be notified next time there is a vote!

[brittle lance]

@torpid sandal It was just because you said "im not sure how long imma be able to wait" 😉

[torpid sandal]

ahhh i see

[patent adder]

Hey 😄

[spring talon]

Howdy!

[teal tangle]

i wanna play the game

[loud axle]

We all do! D:

[bitter hinge]

the game looks amazing!

[regal swallow]

I want to share the game

[patent adder]

Heck yeah it does 😄

[teal tangle]

cant wait to no life

[loud axle]

I already do that on the Discord so expect the same in-game 😎

[uncut bear]

This statement is true for a lot of people her

[teal tangle]

can we play it together ?

if you can

[ocean smelt]

It's MILKY

[loud axle]

Yeah it'll be an MMO so we'll all be playing together. But we still have a ways to go before it's ready!

[teal tangle]

cool

what is ze and zir ?

[loud axle]

Pronouns. Ze / zir specifically come from the trans community I believe, they're supposed to be more gender neutral.

[uncut bear]

Overflow reminder?

[summer obsidian]

haha, I was told to slow my role...so only doing it every 30 minutes now

[uncut bear]

Awww… I saw you typing and wanted to call it

[teal tangle]

xe and xem ?

[summer obsidian]

haha, I was going to post this site that helps explain ze/zir: https://www.them.us/story/gender-neutral-pronouns-101-they-them-xe-xem

[uncut bear]

Gotcha

[loud axle]

Interchangeable with ze / zir if I remember correctly!

It's been quite a few years since I was in gender & women studies in college - a lot has changed!

[summer obsidian]

Like Roan said, I think they were created by the trans community before pronouns became a more main-stream discussion

[teal tangle]

what is interchangeable

[teal tangle]

thanks ima read it after my bath

[loud axle]

Means you can use either / or. They're the same thing, essentially.

[summer obsidian]

so they were versions of they/them...but they had already identified as those pronouns before they/them became universally accepted

[shut hinge]

It’s because some languages are gendered and they or them was confusing for a lot of people who came from countries with languages like that also

[loud axle]

Oh yeah! Thanks!

[summer obsidian]

I had to do some research myself. I had never heard of those pronouns before joining this server

[brittle lance]

All that gender stuff and how to pronounce it confuses me tbh.

[shut hinge]

It’s generally pronounced how it looks

[torpid sandal]

its also good to note though that not all nonbinary people are okay with all of the gender neutral pronouns, some will only use they/them, some only xe/xir, and some have neopronouns too

[loud axle]

At the end of the day, that's what's important. ❤️

[shut hinge]

I only use they/them personally. I just know where the need for others come from and it doesn’t really take much effort for me to be respectful

[brittle lance]

I have never meet a person (in the real world), who did not identify themselves as what they where born as.
So for me, it is A LOT of online fuzz about something that is not that common.

[brisk olive]

Online I’ve just started to refer to most people as them until I have explicit reasoning as to otherwise, I find it’s an easy switch that can make a lot of people feel much better

[summer obsidian]

yeah, I cannot personally relate, so to some extent it's hard to truly identify with someone who does not have the "typical" gender pronouns...however, I do love everyone and want everyone to feel accepted...so I do strive to make sure I treat people how they (and I) want to be treated...even if sometimes I struggle to understand what people are going through

[torpid sandal]

and yet for me, nearly half the people i know irl use some form of pronoun that isnt cis

[uncut bear]

#💬│off-topic-chat please?

[shut hinge]

Them is the polite way in English to refer to someone you don’t know already so it’s a good practise for sure

[brisk olive]

I think at the end of the day people are more uncomfortable calling people out in person but would definitely prefer it, and it’s a minor change in my life so it’s more of a y’all do y’all attitude

[shut hinge]

I’d argue this topic is on topic as inclusivity is a major part of the game

[summer obsidian]

Don't forget to go vote for the NPC(s) you would like to see unveiled next on the #📮│public-polls channel!! Make your vote count for more by voting for all THREE! Also, make sure to go to #📃│server-directory and check ✅ that you would like to be notified next time there is a vote!

[brittle lance]

I VOTED!

[faint dawn]

[loud axle]

Yeah I don't want to have an extended discussion about gender identity here for sure! Totally fine question because it is related to the Discord but not something I want to talk about at length. At the end of the day it costs nothing to make everyone feel loved and appreciated so that's what I want to do.

[shut hinge]

Also depending on country you probbaly have met a person who identifies a certain way but they might just be hiding it. It’s more common than you’d think it’s just more obvious on the internet cause of anonymity

[torpid sandal]

also the easiest thing if you dont know what someones pronouns are, just ask, and if youre having trouble, ask for help

[shut hinge]

I’ll be interested to see how enby I can become in this game

[torpid sandal]

yeah!!!!!! i live in the us in one of the states thats very accepting of these things, but even i know a few people who are hiding it (couGh me) but thats only because there are still a lot of people, especially in our midwest states, that think its a sin for some godforsaken reason

[faint dawn]

Enby?

[brittle lance]

Knowing my own mind, I also know that I can't remember what people would be regarded as, if I can't see it.
Heck I can barely remember peoples names. I use my eyes... I remember peoples farces.

[loud axle]

That'll be me... I don't mind joining groups but I tend to get a little obsessive when I play things so it's tough to stick with the same group...

[shut hinge]

Non binary

[torpid sandal]

nonbinary - usually shortened to NB and enby is the phonetic way of pronouncing NB

[uncut bear]

I’m not bashing on the topic or anything I’m just saying that maybe the conversation can continue to a greater extent in one of the other channels without disrupting those who want to talk about the games feature

[faint dawn]

Oh ok

[torpid sandal]

i do have to say tho i love the amount of different pronouns they put in the auto roles here

[brittle lance]

Well... The DID make it a big part of the Discord / game.

[uncut bear]

Yeahh In the google docs they specify that the character models aren’t specificity male or female. They talk about it in greater depth

[torpid sandal]

oh wait just had a thought

[shut hinge]

I dunno if it’s a big part but it’s certainly a statement to not give female/male and just given us femme or masculine looking bodies and one I hope catches on in game design.

🧛

[brisk olive]

I think it’s a good conversation to have if everyone is respectful too, which I think everyone here is being

[teal tangle]

never met anyone outside of he/she

[uncut bear]

Of course. This is a very inclusive and respectful community

[nimble idol]

I would agree, it’s not a big part, it’s a thoughtful part

[uncut bear]

Hey nev!

How are you my friend?

[nimble idol]

I wish more communities and developers would take this approach

[torpid sandal]

maybe when the humans dissapeared before, they were normally in the male/female design, and when they reappeared, they started evolving in a way that is more inclusive of different gender identities, like we are in todays society - and this game is here to encourage the acceptance of people like that

[brisk olive]

I don’t think we should be afraid of the topic because it’ll make people feel like they’re wrong to want to express it, and I think if this game/discord can shed some light on that it’s cool

[torpid sandal]

hello from a she/they

[nimble idol]

I’m doing well, I fell asleep in the shower while scrubbing off my calluses and now my ears are ringing

[brittle lance]

Generally, I think this kind of game attracts the more polite kind of people...

[summer obsidian]

Continue the thoughtful conversations! That's it for me tonight. Going to bed and will see everyone tomorrow!! Love ya Palia fam!

[torpid sandal]

good night!!! have a good sleep :)

[brisk olive]

I think if you asked people point blank in person “what pronouns do you prefer” you’d likely meet some people who would say something other than he/she, I just think the opportunity to discuss it on the non internet is hard rn

[uncut bear]

Hmm that’s concerning but If you were relaxed enough to fall asleep thats amazing

[shut hinge]

Well we used to be more open to the idea of multiple identities as far back as ancient times

[uncut bear]

Goodnight!

[brittle lance]

What is she/they tho? I mean HOW?

[torpid sandal]

we did, but this is a different world

[teal tangle]

yo

[teal tangle]

we dont have non binary washrooms

[brisk olive]

We don’t, and I think thats a different issue to tackle with it’s own pros and cons, but the fun thing about pronouns is it doesn’t affect anything outside of making someone feel heard and appreciated for who they are

[uncut bear]

I like that idea

[nimble idol]

Honestly, I prefer people just use my name and avoid other pronouns, but if they use pronouns I could care less what they use. I’m a guy but I don’t care if people use they/she/ze/potato, I might be confused at first but I’ll respond

[brittle lance]

I would go for potato any day rather than he/she!

[uncut bear]

Aren’t water spirits genderless?

[vapid dawn]

when were you going to tell me you were she/they 🤔

[abstract tusk]

Of course we do. We have them in our homes.

[nimble idol]

Maybe where you’re from

[shut hinge]

Their gender is H20

[torpid sandal]

it means i use both pronouns - there are people who use she/her, and people who use they/them,

if you think about a spectrum i guess, the easiest way for you to imagine it would probably be

Female ------------------------ gender neutral ------------------------- male
^
and i lie on that spectrum around the arrow, or at least thats what i feel now, of course there are other genders that arent on that spectrum, but this should make it easier to understand

[faint dawn]

Im refered to as a potato often from ffxiv...

[torpid sandal]

when you decided to ask, brother dearest

[loud axle]

I wear a potato for work. 🤷‍♂️

[nimble idol]

See? Completely valid pronoun

[brittle lance]

THAT! Is the most visual representation I have seen on this matter! And that is how my mind works! THANK YOU!

[teal tangle]

nobody wants to be outside he/she in my country

[faint dawn]

Its more of a race thing in xiv than pronoun.. xD (lalafel)

[shut hinge]

I’ll bet money some do and you just don’t know it

[torpid sandal]

id bet on that too

[abstract tusk]

That has nothing to do with your inaccurate assertion.

[torpid sandal]

youre welcome! it can be kinda confusing if you have nothing to go off of lol

[teal tangle]

there are but theyll be treated as 3rd class citizens

[loud axle]

And therein lies the problem

[nimble idol]

Well, as a water spirit myself, potato is an acceptable race

[brittle lance]

Tell me about it 😂

[torpid sandal]

ya know, im almost starting to want to treat you like one too

[uncut bear]

You said you wanted to be a bard, right nev?

[nimble idol]

I’ll be whatever the universe wants me to be

[torpid sandal]

distant lyre sounds

[shut hinge]

Let’s keep it friendly some people here might not be English first language so might not be meaning to come off as offensive

[brittle lance]

"Potato" can be racist tho, where I live :/

[nimble idol]

But I do have a talent for vocals and guitar

[uncut bear]

Combine you and potatoes and some other stuff and you get
Nev | the vodka spirit

[teal tangle]

okay

[torpid sandal]

lyre sounds fade

[abstract tusk]

<@&830144903652311090> enough already. Seriously. What even is this nonsense?

[torpid sandal]

that was a joke

[shut hinge]

Wait why are we calling in the mods

There’s literally nothing bad going on

[brittle lance]

o.O

[abstract tusk]

Jokes about racism are not funny.

[uncut bear]

We need bards for the tavern we’re building nev. would you be interested? This offer goes to everyone

[torpid sandal]

would you care to tell me how potato is racist then....

[nimble idol]

Indeed, PAC was stating a fact, apparently where he lives “potato” is used as a slur

[torpid sandal]

w ha t

[brittle lance]

It is!

[shut hinge]

Where do you live Ireland?

[loud axle]

Mods aren't online at the moment, so just keep it civil please. ❤️

[shut hinge]

Or Iowa I’m trying to think of potato places

[unreal wadi]

Hi supp allo!

[torpid sandal]

thatd be idaho

[shut hinge]

Oh right that’s the one

[uncut bear]

Heya! Welcome!

[nimble idol]

Regardless, that comment definitely didn’t require a mod

[torpid sandal]

^^^^^^

[brittle lance]

Denmark

[nimble idol]

But I think you just misinterpreted

[torpid sandal]

thats not a slur,

[shut hinge]

Oh

[abstract tusk]

I disagree, and you are not arbiter of what does for other people on this server.

[shut hinge]

The potato in the throat comment?

Yeah I’ve heard that a few times

[unreal wadi]

Supp @uncut bear! how is everyone else?

[nimble idol]

That’s ok, opinions are great!!

[cobalt cradle]

but the potato should be in the tum tum

[faint dawn]

Just... lurk for now.. trust...

[torpid sandal]

he was making a joke, it had nothing to do with racism at all. it wasnt affecting anyone, not disrespecting anyone

[faint dawn]

[uncut bear]

Things are starting to get heated I think but just try to ignore it. We’re glad you join the community! Feel free to ask questions

[unreal wadi]

Some people are angry I see...

[shut hinge]

People are always angry

[uncut bear]

Agreed

[torpid sandal]

kartoffel means potato - its a food - kartoffel pfannkuchen means potato pancake

[shut hinge]

Angry about #📮│public-polls

[brittle lance]

If you are white and native in Denmark, then those that are newcomers or who's parents are can be called something racist (I will not state it here). Well in sted of just calling us "white guy" or something like that.- They call us Potatoes (Katoffel), and they use it as a racist slur!

[nimble idol]

I’m sorry if I offended you @abstract tusk

[torpid sandal]

and now im hungry, does anyone have a potato i could eat

[nimble idol]

That was not my intention

[unreal wadi]

@shut hinge agreed

[abstract tusk]

Thank you. No worries.

[unreal wadi]

I mean as a dad. I'm just chill with lots of stuff now

[pallid orchid]

It isn't targeting any groups, or making light of racism. It's someone saying that the word Potato could be considered racist to certain groups of people, and even if it was a joke it doesnt harm anyone in any way.
It's totally fine to have your own opinion! But please keep in mind this is a public space and free speech is completely allowed. There's no reason to get mad at eachother or get mods for something when you could simply ask them to stop or tell them it was something you disliked.

[torpid sandal]

what happened to it being a german slur?

[shut hinge]

He never said that

[uncut bear]

🥔

[shut hinge]

He always said Denmark

[torpid sandal]

thank you i love you

[abstract tusk]

I’m not reading any of that.

[nimble idol]

Maybe we should just drop it 🙂

[brittle lance]

I never said it was German, I only know that it is used here in Denmark and that we both say "Katoffel"

[nimble idol]

Let’s talk about Palia!

[torpid sandal]

oh

[loud axle]

So, as far as the trailer for Palia goes... Does anyone think it's intentional that the PC seems to be "waking up" at the beginning in a field of flowers? I've been curious as to how humans reemerge in the world, whether it's through a portal, on a boat, or just... waking up somewhere with no memory.

[shut hinge]

Paella

[torpid sandal]

someone else said it

[pallid orchid]

Ok.

[unreal wadi]

Can we all be friends for about 12 seconds and all stare at the sun

[uncut bear]

But of course. If a tavern owner can’t provide such a simple request who would I be?

[shut hinge]

No I’ll literally die

[pallid orchid]

Ahh so we can all go blind together

[shut hinge]

The sun and me are not friends

[nimble idol]

You know I have a monopoly on the potatoes correct?

[unreal wadi]

I mean I won't since I have my special glasses on

[shut hinge]

Also If you identify as garlic don’t at me

[pallid orchid]

sell me half of your potato stock ill make everyone some thanksgiving dinner

[torpid sandal]

okay now that, is just plain rude. she was trying to explain what was happening, and you just ignoring it instead of reading it and trying to understand whats happening, is daft

[cobalt cradle]

has there been any extra mention about dishes we can cook, in regards to placing them onto tables for show and such?

[loud axle]

Fun fact, potatoes are one of the crops we see in the trailer. Tomatoes, potatoes, and wheat...

[uncut bear]

I’m willing to trade

[torpid sandal]

oh. I stand corrected then

[shut hinge]

I didn’t see any garlic so I’m happy

[cobalt cradle]

since the trailer I think had a couple plates with some fanceh things on them, unless I remember wrong

[pallid orchid]

wHAt so you'll let all of us go blind? do we get any special glasses? ;;

[unreal wadi]

Is the in game market going to be dominated by potatoes?

[nimble idol]

Half my potato stock could feed 3 planets, but sure

[torpid sandal]

i genuinely thought yall were all joking i didnt realize it wa san actual thing

[cobalt cradle]

that or cabbages 👀

[loud axle]

Nope, but hopefully it's an involved skill - where you can customize / change recipes a bit with seasonings and such.

[pallid orchid]

thank you i appreciate you for calling them out. <3

[nimble idol]

I’ll avoid over saturating the market

[nimble idol]

Oh???

[pallid orchid]

yea well this discord feels 3 planets big so thanksgiving dinner for everyone

[uncut bear]

Hardly. Fish is

[torpid sandal]

absolutely

[brittle lance]

I think people are starting to wake up. This is getting to fast for me 😅
