[bright forge]

hype died a little after pre-alpha number announcement

[noble elk]

Err wrong reply

[crystal topaz]

This server has grown by tens of thousands the last week,

[bright forge]

np

[modest sedge]

This hype conversation is interesting.

[patent dust]

so yes, hyped has calmed a bit, most likely due to the fact only 1400 are getting into the pre-alpha. tons of questions that could be answered have been answered, so people are just waiting

[formal lynx]

hype (looking from a company) is like an argument. you need to be careful with what you say, and how much you wanna open up.

[whole crag]

1400 :0

[patent dust]

yes only 1400

[whole crag]

thats pretty hype

[clear prism]

What's the number of people on this discord?

[whole crag]

10s of thousands

[bright forge]

78k

[regal swallow]

Hello and good day all my lovely Pals

[noble elk]

Palia was hyped for like 2 weeks, maybe less, then there were just people coming by to throw in their ideas of what they wanted, otherwise mostly the usuals here discussing whatever

[patent dust]

plus some extra space outside of the 1400 for investors, +1's etc.

[clear prism]

Ok. So since devs are kinda like planning on like 10k or smth of people who are interested in this game.
I think it's overhyped.

[whole crag]

thats 1 in ever 55 members

roughly-

if i understand math correctly.

[patent dust]

i never understood math

[whole crag]

chances are i dont

[bright forge]

Some peoples sing-up with no discord sing-up too you need to remember

[whole crag]

well in the discord only a 55th of all users are getting in

[modest sedge]

Hard to estimate it.

[whole crag]

i am estimating discord specifically so no

[patent dust]

impossible to estimate, we have no idea how many people signed up

[bright forge]

I think we may be close to 200k sing-ups

[whole crag]

guys- i just used numbers provided.

[patent dust]

if youre only counting discord, yeah i guess you could, but theres also many in the discord who didnt sign up

[modest sedge]

Will be extremely lucky if you are in the alpha that's for sure.

[whole crag]

im just using numbers provided- not for the sake of being 100% hyper accurate.

[formal lynx]

then again you need to remember that there is a higher chance that there'll be more peeps in the alpha or beta.

[bright forge]

but with that many people if you didn't fill up the survey you screwed

[whole crag]

i filled in everything like a good girl c:

[patent dust]

same c:

[whole crag]

i might have done it twice because i didnt realize my first time counted

[clear prism]

Well, Palia is not number one category on twitch, so I guess the game is dead.

[patent dust]

gotta be dead, for sure

[whole crag]

ultra dead

this server does not count.

[formal lynx]

more dead than me after all of my exams

[clear prism]

Technically it's not even out but how do we call the state of being unborn?

[whole crag]

more dead than me after my expiration date

[regal swallow]

Potentially exciting

[bright forge]

Panda do you remeber that time that people speculate witch answers in survey were correct?

[patent dust]

i guess unborn?

[whole crag]

wait people did that?

[modest sedge]

Fetal.

[patent dust]

imagine thinking there are right or wrong answers in a survey lmao

[clear prism]

According to some 14 year old kid - it's dead.

[whole crag]

dang.

14 year olds do know how things work tho

[clear prism]

Try saying that on twitter.

[whole crag]

i have no fear.

[patent dust]

k-pop stans

[whole crag]

imagine liking k-pop

[bright forge]

Like if you choose SV, Minecraft and Sims you good and if not you screwed

[whole crag]

that industry is...kinda horrible and unhealthy

[crystal topaz]

Hey now, people like what they like.

[patent dust]

i can enjoy some songs but like..theres a point where its a bit much...

[whole crag]

oh i definetly enjoy some of the music

[patent dust]

like i love linkin park, but dont expect me to make a shrine to mike shinoda

[whole crag]

i just dont support the industry it is.

[clear prism]

I was considering making a shrine for Jeff Kaplan

[bright forge]

Shinoda is fine but we all know who was soul of this band

[patent dust]

this is the exception

[clear prism]

Too fuckin bad, I'm poor.

[modest sedge]

What about Shrinoda.

[patent dust]

chester was the best there was

i do love mikes solo stuff thouhg, and his twitch streams are fun

[modest sedge]

Yes, Fort Minor was cool.

[patent dust]

that man has way too many keyboards

outside of fort minor, his solo stuff

[whole crag]

his alone adventure

[patent dust]

post traumatic was an amazing and hard hitting album to me

[bright forge]

ok guys we need to end off-top in memory of Steve

[modest sedge]

I think we going #💬│off-topic-chat now.

[clear prism]

Always have been.

[patent dust]

this chat is never on topic 😔

[whole crag]

it is, in roundabout ways

[bright forge]

It is! for like 15%...

[patent dust]

can you technically be go off topic if youre never on topic in the first place?

[modest sedge]

Unless M Shinoda does an in-game concert like what Fortnite did.

[whole crag]

yawn palia is good

[clear prism]

But mods are only bashing me for talking about crusades ☹️

[patent dust]

the crusades are over m8, gotta move on

[whole crag]

they also all failed so...maybe stop?

[bright forge]

We run out of topics Panda you know I tried many times!

[modest sedge]

SMH you're not even in the Crusader Kings Discord. Are you even a real crusader? :P

[patent dust]

i love a good crusade as much as the next girl

[clear prism]

Already said: I'm poor.

I'm in Bannerlord discord tho.

[patent dust]

disclaimer: idk anything about the crusades other than armor was worn

[whole crag]

they were horrible historically.

[patent dust]

oh...lovely

[whole crag]

there was a child crusade

[patent dust]

a wut

[bright forge]

guys pls stop

[modest sedge]

Maybe this isn't the best topic lol

[clear prism]

I mean like:

1. I'm getting warned to stop posting crusader memes cause it's #💬│off-topic-chat
2. so that mods could enjoy the talk about italian food.

[patent dust]

yeahhhh lol

[crystal topaz]

Italian food is more related to Palia than crusades though.

[whole crag]

i wasnt planning on getting in on it. just give the educative surface statement

[modest sedge]

I'm on a train rn. I wonder if Palia will have trains

[clear prism]

(but honestly, I would have no problem if it was something like "stop gif spamming")

[crystal topaz]

Chuu Chuu!

[patent dust]

HA

[whole crag]

okay Prieston. we get it

shall i get some butt healing for you?

[modest sedge]

Wut

[wispy wyvern]

Now now.

[whole crag]

then then?

when?

[clear prism]

Also I'm really considering just editing in crusaders into Palia trailer and post them as gifs in here.

[whole crag]

._.

[modest sedge]

Seems unnecessary and excessive. But you do you.

[clear prism]

Nothing is excessive.

[whole crag]

fundamentally false

[wispy wyvern]

So Palia huh...

[whole crag]

Palia is cute

[patent dust]

ye palia, seems like itll be fun

[bright forge]

We have 5.820 votes right now guys

[whole crag]

palia has Chuu's

[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!

Hehe, Good morning! 😄 (or afternoon, or evening, or night)

[crystal topaz]

G'day, Overflow

[modest sedge]

Hmm voting for all three defeats the purpose.

[tight linden]

Excuse me, i'm going to ask the time's launching for alpha test. When is it?

[wispy wyvern]

Nobody knows.

[crystal topaz]

When it is ready.

[whole crag]

when its done™️

[bright forge]

[tight linden]

I see. It still when it is ready

Thank u in advance

[wispy wyvern]

They will give out an official announcement when the time comes.

[whole crag]

that is in post- but okay

[patent dust]

pre-alpha will be announced in this discord when invites are sent

[summer obsidian]

It defeats the purpose of getting your vote for THIS NPC, but 8,000 total votes unveils a never before seen NPC. So voting 3 times counts for that NPC.

[tight linden]

[modest sedge]

Haha i thought the same but I'll take an advance thanks.

[bright forge]

Don't forget to #📮│public-polls

[tight linden]

Greeat

[modest sedge]

What's the point of a poll to see what people want if people want to see the hidden one? That makes no sense lol

[void imp]

palia! i have a topic but i'll have to post the video that goes with it in #🎮│other-gamessince we can upload stuff there

[bright forge]

Hi nomi! 👋

[void imp]

hi perin! 👋 😊

[summer obsidian]

Well, in a perfect world we would have 8,000 people voting...but since there doesn't appear to be, I'm trying to double down the effort now 😛

[void imp]

SO
turns out chapaas make incredibly cute noises, see the video
i never registered it the first times i watched the video

[whole crag]

oh so that was the point of the vid-

[modest sedge]

8K might be too high then. It isn't mandatory. We'll see all the characters eventually. Maybe I just have more patience.

[void imp]

that is my topic, chapaas are cute

[whole crag]

i agree 100% Chuu's are adorable.

[summer obsidian]

Chapaas are cute! 😄

[patent dust]

til they ransack your crops :v

[crystal topaz]

ChapaaChu's are cuuute

[whole crag]

can they do that :0

[regal swallow]

I agree Problems of Chapaas are cute!

[patent dust]

they seem like the type

[whole crag]

Chuu*

get it right people

[patent dust]

i stick to the official names ;p

[whole crag]

so the official name is Chapaa?

[patent dust]

yes :)

[whole crag]

i was unaware

[autumn portal]

How the tides turned xD

[patent dust]

chuu is just the name the discord decided on

[whole crag]

aaaah

[summer obsidian]

Chuu was the communities guess of what the name was before the devs announced the name, but by the time they said it was Chapaa, Chuu has stuck

[whole crag]

i thought it was undecided

[modest sedge]

Yeah. They have official names given by the devs, which is what I opt to use.

[whole crag]

i see i see

[void imp]

its confirmed that they gnaw on everything to take care of their tusks, that's Problematic enough on its own

[whole crag]

D:

[patent dust]

other fun fact: this animal is not confirmed to be called a tau, but could possibly be the given name (like dog/scruffy)

[whole crag]

time to use bow

🏹

[summer obsidian]

and I was disappointed to learn that Yakmoo isn't a confirmed name either! That breaks my heart!

[patent dust]

nel was teasing about it so we dont know if thats the creature name or the name of this specific one

[void imp]

again: how the tides turned

[whole crag]

i mean, turned how?

[void imp]

you called them adorable a minute ago 🥲

[patent dust]

im not even 100% sure the 'yakmoo' is even in the game. the images people got them from (that ive seen so far) are from other art by the same artist

[whole crag]

and i am very fickle-

[void imp]

i'm joining HECC, this is it

[whole crag]

the tides never turn because im never set

[void imp]

they're in the group picnic pic in official art too

[summer obsidian]

[patent dust]

oh yeah i didnt even see them

alright well that settles that then :P

[void imp]

i wanna go hoooome

[whole crag]

i dont know about you guys but id smooch an elf

[patent dust]

do it, live your best life

[whole crag]

and einar.

but like- einar is platonic.

[patent dust]

my comment applies to both going home and smooching an elf

[whole crag]

valid

[patent dust]

go home and smooch an elf!

[void imp]

[whole crag]

Smooch your purple elf gf/bf

[patent dust]

though..if you find an elf in your home, it might be a bit strange

[whole crag]

or the first proof to different life :0

[patent dust]

i want to believe goblins are real T.T

[whole crag]

also imagine guys. if there is some magical artifact sealed off on/in earth

[bright forge]

I kissed a elf and I liked it.... no?

[whole crag]

yes

[patent dust]

katy perry fantasy version

[void imp]

that reminds me

[tough orchid]

I’d listen to that remix

[void imp]

i was wondering what happened to half-elves/half-humans when the humans vanished

but maybe they aren't compatible to reproduce

[patent dust]

thers half elves in the game?

oh i see

[void imp]

i'd hope so, i'm all for interracial couples

[whole crag]

or maybe the "half" genes returned since humans went bye-bye

[bright forge]

Panda if I remember correctly your firs question was about gay smooch am I correct?

[tough orchid]

It’s only the ancient human race that vanished 3000+ years ago. Only recently have they begun to come back

[patent dust]

uhhhh one sec ill look

[void imp]

😄

[void imp]

ya i know :0

[patent dust]

"Not sure if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if there would be same-sex relationships available? also from the trailer and a few articles ive read, the game looks more co-op than mmo, so i was just wondering about map size and if instancing is a thing"

that was my first ever question

[whole crag]

If i can be gay in this game, with a cute elf.

[void imp]

do you think elves didn't exist back then?

[whole crag]

it will unironically be a 10/10 games

possibly even 11/10

[bright forge]

so I was right

[patent dust]

based on previous dev answers, you can be gay, and you can be gay with elves

[tough orchid]

As far as we know you can romance anyone besides Einar, regardless of sex.

[whole crag]

haha YES

[patent dust]

'smooches are smooches' was the answer i got haha

[whole crag]

g o o d

[patent dust]

it feels like its been much longer than 2 weeks and 4 days

[whole crag]

ytea

[patent dust]

and over 4000 messages..

[bright forge]

Do you guys even remember times before Palia?

[whole crag]

honestly?

not really?

[patent dust]

i dont remember what happened yesterday tbh

[whole crag]

yeah, that

[patent dust]

technically its still yesterday for me cause i havnt slept yet haha

[whole crag]

nice

[loud axle]

GO TO BED

[patent dust]

currently 8am

[loud axle]

❤️

[patent dust]

NO YOURE NOT MY DAD

[whole crag]

2pm for me

[bright forge]

same

[loud axle]

I just woke up and that's the first thing I saw 😛

[patent dust]

you go to bed then :v

no one should be up this early

[whole crag]

its 8- its a regular morning hour lmao

[summer obsidian]

I wouldn't...if there wasn't work 😣

[patent dust]

anyone else notice the devs have been SUPER quiet since the first Q&A?

[whole crag]

my assumption is that they're working?

[patent dust]

which means theyre hard preparing ;)

[loud axle]

It's 8:18! This is the latest I get to sleep in for work D: Normally I'm at work by 7:15!

[patent dust]

it does say 'this summer' which started yesterday i believe

[tough orchid]

Hey! If you wanted to read a short-story I wrote it’s in Community Art ::)

[loud axle]

https://tenor.com/view/judge-judy-times-up-what-time-is-it-gif-5714654

[void imp]

i did that saturday because i wanted to wok on my paliasona AND i wanted to see the thunderstorm around 7am

[whole crag]

this summer poggers

[patent dust]

if im ever up this early its cause i havnt slept

[bright forge]

They don't want to answer questions at this state that's normal

[whole crag]

if im up this normal time and im tired as h e c k

[loud axle]

I hope no one got in trouble for any answers we were given that shouldn't have been given lol

[patent dust]

same

[whole crag]

same same

[void imp]

yeah same i didn't consider setting an alarm for the thunderstorm i immediately went "no sleep tonight 😌 "

[rain sky]

so its summer now i wana play 😄

[whole crag]

patience

[patent dust]

slip ups are expected though, its more when they actively just talk about anything and everything

[tough orchid]

I think they’ve revealed the perfect amount to keep us intrigued

[whole crag]

im intrigued and i dont even know about anything-

[patent dust]

hey where has vlad been?

[whole crag]

but i am like the most patient being in this universe

[void imp]

i hope vlad is okay

[bright forge]

5.838 votes guys

[loud axle]

Very quiet but he's been around a bit, saw him... two or three days ago?

[clear prism]

huh

now that I edit the trailer video

[whole crag]

.__.

[patent dust]

thats fair. i havnt been very active lately either

[clear prism]

Palia human characters are wearing some futuristic clothes tbf

[whole crag]

same- im usually being gay over She-Ra in another server tbh

[void imp]

yeah i noticed to when i worked on palia outfits

[clear prism]

like these pants do somehow look like fallout vault suit

[patent dust]

outfits in the trailer are strange. some are more futuristic, and one was a cowboy

[void imp]

OOH

[goes look for cowboy]

[clear prism]

Yep, my lore still confirmed.
There was War and humans were forced underground.
Now we musrt retake what once belonged to us.

[tough orchid]

We don’t know how the humans are re-emerging, just that they are

[crystal topaz]

Seems a bit more hostile than what this game is going for.

[patent dust]

00:40 on the far left

[void imp]

thanks <33

[patent dust]

hard to catch if you dont pause at the right time

[whole crag]

im going to eat chips now

[clear prism]

You seem new around here.
Chapaa or Chuu?

This how the War have started.

[tough orchid]

Personally, based on the floating rocks, ancient bridge pointing upwards, and angelic shrines in the concept art, the ancient humans were a people of the sky. Living on floating continents

[whole crag]

jesus..

[faint dawn]

Reverse undertale?

[bright forge]

Pathetic! THE FOOD WAR was first!

[loud axle]

Alright off to work lovelies. Pastel please get some sleep lol

[clear prism]

Nah, community decided to rename Chapaa into Chuu

Cause some pokemon or other weeb reason

[crystal topaz]

Chapaachu

[void imp]

bye roan 👋

[whole crag]

Chuu is just cute tbh

Chuupaa

[crystal topaz]

Chachuu

[void imp]

chaapachu

[bright forge]

Chuu is literally mouse in Japanese I think

[whole crag]

i think so yes

[faint dawn]

Actually it was cuz someone named "chu" asked what the creature was..
Devs said "isnt named yet"

So people decided chuu...

After the person who asked

[tough orchid]

Thus a legend was born

[whole crag]

yeah but Prieston is...special im starting to realize

so logic need not apply

[patent dust]

\ [ T ] /

[clear prism]

Chuu is literally the sound the do when kiss

Some heresy apparently.

[whole crag]

you know- im all for this persona- just..where it fits in ._.

[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!

Isn’t the reveal today?

[bright forge]

5.844 votes

[patent dust]

yup today is the reveal

[summer obsidian]

yep, should be "morning" in Pacific Time. I imagine it's pretty impossible to get the 8,000...but I'll still do the little reminder thing 😛

[patent dust]

its about 530am in cali

[tough orchid]

I got ya, still excited either way

[whole crag]

same

[summer obsidian]

last time they did it around 9:30 PST

[patent dust]

i wanted #2 to be revealed so bad :c

[void imp]

pat pat

[whole crag]

next time

[worldly lily]

Good Morning all 🙂

[static mango]

yo just woke up as well xD

[void imp]

i like that the vote amounts are pretty similar to the amount they got last time, so it kinda looks like everyone who voted for zeki cared for zeki and zeki alone so they're just ignoring all future votes now x3

[worldly lily]

So have we made any progress on the villager-vote?

[regal swallow]

Let's atleast try for 6000 before the morning vote ends

[crystal topaz]

G'day, Myung and Snoopy

[whole crag]

we live in a society were more "unique" humanoids are the focus so the more regular they become the less votes

[worldly lily]

Hey Zaldir 🙂

[static mango]

I voted for my future NPC waifu always

Yo Zal

[worldly lily]

I voted for them all just to get the totals up 😛

[whole crag]

same

[void imp]

zaldiiiir what does your profile pic mean?

[bright forge]

5.846 votes

[whole crag]

we get it perin.

votes going up.

[bright forge]

sorry

[summer obsidian]

yeah, last time I voted for #1, this time I tried all three just for numbers sake

[void imp]

to be fair: myung asked

[crystal topaz]

It says JBS, which are my initials.

[faint dawn]

Same

[worldly lily]

yes I did sorry too lazy to go and check

[void imp]

ooh okay thanks :3

[worldly lily]

having my last cup of coffee before having to sign in for work

[whole crag]

just annoying to see 5844 and then 5846- like, yes voting usually tends to go up

[worldly lily]

Monday sign ins are always late they never get it together untill around 9

well hopefully they will have pity on us and show us a new character anyway

[summer obsidian]

As crazy as I've been...I actually don't want it if we didn't earn it 😛

[void imp]

didn't mean it as a way to blame you, just felt like perin had a reason

[worldly lily]

goes to cemetery digs up people "hurry go vote"

[void imp]

heheh

[whole crag]

vote time

[worldly lily]

The good ol fashion Chicago way LOL

[whole crag]

🔫 or else

[worldly lily]

use to live there the saying was the only two times the dead rise is the rapture and election day

[bright forge]

there is 24k peoples online right now but somehow we can't get 8k votes

[whole crag]

sadge

[patent dust]

people dont read channels

[whole crag]

people dont care*

[clear prism]

oh

[patent dust]

people will actively avoid announcements

[faint dawn]

People will only care once keys come out..

[bright forge]

go to sleep Panda!

[clear prism]

there are also shadows...

[summer obsidian]

I'm sure most people are in the server to make sure they don't miss anything officially announced, but don't care to participate in the discord community part of the game

[patent dust]

no!

[worldly lily]

people care but for only what they are interested in and this game has a niche of its own that many dont care to join in

[void imp]

but hydrate!

[celest maple]

Well, there isnt really much to participate or talk about. There isn't anything substantial to discuss or debate.

There is no information about the game at all at this moment

[whole crag]

uh. thats why you just talk

[void imp]

(laughs)

[whole crag]

just have f u n

[regal swallow]

What kind of other animals do you think we will see?

[patent dust]

theres plenty for what stage the game is at, people just dont look for it (evidence is in the questions channel)

[worldly lily]

we have solved world hunger, cancer, global warming and the entire Palia MMO so not much left lol

[clear prism]

sony vegas crashed

[celest maple]

Im not sure what i have to talk about, i often check this channel, and i dont really see anything except some bantering

[whole crag]

banter is the spirit of Palia

[void imp]

i really really want something like the cute cow in the concept art they found in the french article. it was carrying groceries and had a pretty saddle blanket

[knotty onyx]

Кому вьебать?

[patent dust]

it is a community sim, after all

[worldly lily]

I am here that enough I gladly bestow my aura on everyone here

[summer obsidian]

The way I see it...the game is a community sim. We can't necessarily do the game stuff, but the community is right here...so I feel like I've already started playing 😛

[worldly lily]

[crystal topaz]

Ångel?

[regal swallow]

Do you think we will see a cute llama like creature too a llama mountain goat?

[whole crag]

Ångel

[summer obsidian]

I LOVE LLAMAS!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[patent dust]

Engel

[whole crag]

Ängel?

[tough orchid]

Shrew you’re a wordsmith right? I wrote a short-story based on the Palia world in the #🎨│old-palia-fan-art channel if you want to read it

[celest maple]

Im sure when the game actually shows what it actually is, people have enough to talk or discuss about, but how I see it, its basically an unannounced game, even their press releases don't actually touch upon its features. No info whatsoever what it actually is.

[void imp]

i can imagine that if they'll have a variety of farm animals there will be something in the family of sheep and goats :3

[celest maple]

That was just my opinion on the topic of people not participating in the discord

[regal swallow]

I shall take a look at it. My rhythms are short. But I'm sure to enjoy.

[patent dust]

completely fair

[worldly lily]

OK all have to sign on to work I will check in later have a good day

https://tenor.com/view/goodbye-gif-8910472

[patent dust]

theyve talked about what they can, now its just a waiting game

[static mango]

gl

[regal swallow]

Pals dont say Goodbye. We say see you again. Because we always know you'll be back to tell of your adventure.

[summer obsidian]

What if they announced that the Alpha Keys would be given to the people who voted in this vote? Since those people are the most invested? We'd have a much better shot 😛

(just talking...I know that's not gonna happen)

[bright forge]

I can't wait to see what we get during Q&A

[tough orchid]

They have to sift through the 20,000 repeat questions first

[summer obsidian]

I stopped reading the questions probably a week ago. There's SO MANY!!

[patent dust]

i stopped reading them cause its the same ones over and over lol

[static mango]

Yeah I stopped reading them since the first answers

[tough orchid]

Same, and it’s all question I’ve seen asked on day 2-5 of the channel too

[static mango]

It's the same questions xD

[patent dust]

most of which are answered in the doc

[void imp]

where there any really memorable ones? i have to admit i stopped peeking in there after about 10 times

i mean positively memorable x3

[bright forge]

Three types of questions #1 When? #2 Free? #Will it be possible to play Mac/Console name/Mobile?

[faint dawn]

#4 pvp and combat?

[patent dust]

if it wasnt for the 2 hour cooldown, id have been in there answering all of them lol

im actively resisting the urge to do so anyways

[bright forge]

this one died a little bit but yes

[void imp]

bless your heart

[summer obsidian]

(Panda goes in, tags 17 people who asked the same question and gives the answer) LOL!

[patent dust]

i would too lmao

were you here for my 70+ hour marathon in ask the team?

[faint dawn]

Poor pastel.. ask the team was your home..i was worried youd overwork yourself.. but i can understand the want to help.

[bright forge]

I will answer all day too!

[summer obsidian]

Yes! You were a superstar!

[crystal topaz]

Most of the questions can be answered with a reaction.

[patent dust]

i used to work tickets, i know the pain of answering again and again

[void imp]

🎖️

[faint dawn]

Ive seen people ping people here and answeer their question..

[summer obsidian]

not a horrible idea

[patent dust]

im trying to avoid it cause in the end, the devs decide what to answer or not and if i did that this channel would get very cluttered lol

in ask the team it was easy cause it was just Q, A, Q, A

[summer obsidian]

Aren't we due for a random comment from Whoa?

[patent dust]

i think he juist woke up

[faint dawn]

Its like 5:55 am in cali

[clear prism]

hmm

[patent dust]

oh man it is monday morning, im pretty sure hes not one of the 3 in office but still

[summer obsidian]

I saw him playing League of Legends last week at like, 4:00 in the morning PST, bwahaha

[void imp]

ooh i always thought whoa's pfp was a guy with a pilot hat and pilot glasses, kinda chaotic trash inventor vibes, but then i enlarged it yesterday 🙈

[patent dust]

he did used to work for riot :P

[bright forge]

But 50% of people came here Ask "Is game up?" we use our favourite they say "Cool" and we never here them again or they ask second question "Will it be free?" and then we never here them again

[summer obsidian]

I found his Youtube channel, he plays guitar and sings and he's pretty good!

[patent dust]

chaotic trash inventor is a perfect way to describe him tbh

[faint dawn]

I had to get rid of league.. its fun, but not fun.. i dont crave the salt as much..

[void imp]

but alas his pfp is a party frat boy u_u

[patent dust]

his linkedin is super fun to read

whats his youtube? :o

[summer obsidian]

I think it was the same screen name on Youtube...which is why I was able to find it

[patent dust]

yknow from his end, weve gotta look like a buncha stalkers lmao

[summer obsidian]

(there's literally nothing else to do) BWAHAHA

[faint dawn]

Im trying to get a job..

[summer obsidian]

What kind of field are you looking in? What jobs do you typically try to get?

[faint dawn]

Not at s6 but like.. in my field of digital media/marketing.. xD

[summer obsidian]

oh, that's interesting!

[patent dust]

so from what im gathering from his channel, he listens to the same music i do lmao

super surprised to see underoath on here

[void imp]

afk but listening in, thank you out loud notifications, guys ✌️

[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!

[bright forge]

5.864

[bright forge]

Overflow have you tried posting it in different channels?

[summer obsidian]

no, that'd be really spammy. It's related to the game, so it belongs in here

I know people drop in and out in chat at different times...so I decided to post the reminder for those who maybe login and don't keep up with everything going on. It's a good visual reminder. However, the very LAST thing I want to do is bug anyone

[shy ocean]

I wonder whether voting for all three actually counts thrice for the 8000 limit, or will they do deduplication before counting 🤔

[summer obsidian]

Nel said she didn't think about the fact that you could triple your number when she posted the 8,000 limit. They aren't going to pull up the whole list and delete those duplicates, haha

[cinder comet]

We are about 2100 votes behind

[patent dust]

we need to get whoa to start doing covers again

[bright forge]

Someone voted more than once! I would never do that! 😉

[summer obsidian]

I only added the "Vote for all Three" to the message last night since I saw we are running out of time. I'd prefer to have 8,000 unique voters and then I would delete my extra two votes and vote for the one I want 😛

[summer obsidian]

I didn't comb through it all, but I wonder if he's ever done any originals?

[patent dust]

yeah i saw one on there

[clear prism]

uhhh, i give up

[patent dust]

hes got two, the lack of color, and the taste

[cinder temple]

Do you think Chapaa howl at the moon?

[faint dawn]

[summer obsidian]

I feel like the tau are more likely (like what Anastasia posted), haha

[harsh herald]

@vivid beacon from what they've already answered they don't plan on doing any sort of pvp content, neither very competitive gameplay

[clear prism]

Tau?

Warhammer Xenos?

[faint dawn]

The dog its a tau

[clear prism]

hmm... games workshop are known to randomly sueing everyone

[cinder temple]

Yes, but even the grasshopper mouse in our world howls at night. I wonder if Chapaa do it too.

[patent dust]

unconfirmed if species is tau or the name of that particular one is tau

[faint dawn]

Imma just call em tau

Because thats what the devs put for the emotes..

[summer obsidian]

I imagine chapaa yipping at the moon, instead of howling 🙂

[patent dust]

im just sayin what nel said :P

[faint dawn]

Like how name may be Ashura.

[patent dust]

his name is ashura, nel confirmed that in a tweet

[faint dawn]

Okay

[clear prism]

alright, tenor doesnt want my gifs

[crystal topaz]

[faint dawn]

panic continues as the end to the newest villager vote.. draws ever nearer with 2000 more to go....

[patent dust]

3(ish) hours remain

[bright forge]

5.9k guys!

[cinder temple]

The wind's picking up here in prep for more heavy rain. Love that. Just a bit of chaos before the downpour. Hoping we get to have similar experiences in Palia.

[bright forge]

Should I go full berserk guys?

[knotty crown]

im back 🙂

[cinder temple]

Where are you going to find a sword that big?

[faint dawn]

Keep voting people! KEEEEP VOTING!

[shy ocean]

it's interesting how the original purpose of the vote (pick one of the three characters) seems to have been overtaken by simply wanting to get to 8k votes no matter the what

[crystal topaz]

A berserk needs no sword!

[bright forge]

ok I go full berserk!

[tough orchid]

Because I need to know more about the game/lore

[bright forge]

If I get banned remember me pls!

[clear prism]

You are blessed, brother.

[crystal topaz]

You know what? I don't think it was that bad.

[bright forge]

Future will show...

[faint dawn]

Never before revealed charactar tho :o

[cinder temple]

Peanut butter was never before revealed, and it still came out eventually. Fear not; all will be known whether it's this week or not.

[stiff basin]

I think a nice solution is for everyone to just vote their two favorite choices, excluding the one they want least

[shy ocean]

maybe next time they'll include a fourth option so no-one will have to vote for every option instead of what they actually want :P (and avoid the duplicate votes that way)

[summer obsidian]

At this point, it's obvious that #3 is going to be the one revealed today. If we could ALSO get a character that has not been seen anywhere in the website or trailer...why not try to shoot for it?

[stiff basin]

Yeah true, actually it seems like there will usually always be a clear winner at some point with these polls so might as well go for the secondary goal

[faint dawn]

I hope they reveal yakmoos.. o3o

[clear prism]

alright, i hate the whole tenor thingie

[summer obsidian]

In a perfect world, at least 8,000 of the 78,000 people signed up for this discord would have voted, but that didn't happen 😛

[clear prism]

oh, shit. it works

[tough orchid]

That’s hilarious lmao

[clear prism]

aight, im out

[faint dawn]

I kinda want one of them opening the door and its James P Sullivan...

[stiff basin]

Yakmoos?

[faint dawn]

Or... or.. the monster inc chars opening a door..and its the Palia girl on the couch and she looks up all shocked...

[summer obsidian]

[stiff basin]

Oh cool

[faint dawn]

@clear prism whats the software you use to put the two gifs together?

[celest maple]

HELLO

[clear prism]

like i made a video with vegas
and then was freakin out uploading it to tenor

[knotty crown]

[oak spoke]

how is every one?

[forest hare]

Hello!👋

[cinder temple]

They're thinking about it.

[night kraken]

👋 Good evening

[night kraken]

Doing well, yourself mate?

[oak spoke]

lol

[balmy sandal]

Hello to all.

[oak spoke]

im doing great,im going to steam for the first time later today so yeah

[cinder temple]

Hiya, pal.

[night kraken]

That sounds great, hope that everything goes well with that

[haughty coyote]

just don't stream NDA games, you least lose access to them forever which you stream

[oak spoke]

i hope so too

[night kraken]

ohh stream. I thought you meant steam, like you were gonna cook some steamed vegetables or something lol

[oak spoke]

and im going to stream gw2 so no problem,

[haughty coyote]

GW2 is solid stream starter mmo if you like it 😄

[oak spoke]

better then some other games

[haughty coyote]

another good is ESO

[slender crag]

i'm sure this has already been said/proposed, but is the general assumption that the alpha invites will be sent out probably around the time all the characters are revealed?

[cinder temple]

I've heard something like 2 months is the expected window, but we really don't know.

[haughty coyote]

no idea @slender crag

[oak spoke]

im am planning to stream Palia when it's open to it

[cinder temple]

You might be looking a few years into the future, which actually might be fine if you're a GW2 streamer, since they'll be getting an expansion within the next 6-8 months.

[clear prism]

WraithmainPalia_TTV

[oak spoke]

lol totally fine for me

[balmy sandal]

More like early next year

[slender crag]

oof i'd hope not (assuming you mean the alpha won't be started until 2022)

[wispy wyvern]

The pre-alpha with select testers is set for this summer.

[balmy sandal]

That would be cool

[cinder temple]

I'd assumed they were talking about the pre-alpha, since those are the only invitations that have been discussed. Did you hear pre-alpha was scheduled for next year somewhere?

[balmy sandal]

Nah... just seems like a reasonable timeframe to me, but it also depends on the team and their resources

[cinder temple]

Ah, gotcha.

[summer obsidian]

Yeah, I feel like the only date we can "kinda" sit behind is that Pre-Alpha will most likely be occurring within the next few months. Outside of that, it's anyone's guess

Their next Q&A is scheduled for July 8th. If they have any updates to the Pre-Alpha date I'm sure they will say something then.

[cinder temple]

Day 1 Post-Steve: We cling to the summer pre-alpha testing. It and each other are all that we have left.

[thick oracle]

Hi all, I registered for pre-alpha. Not sure what happened. Does me being here allows me to try the game?

[livid needle]

hey guys hows going )

[cinder temple]

Hello and welcome to the server! Think of this as a sneak peek and community chat separate from the game itself. The pre-alpha invitations will be sent to 1,400 people (presumably at random). So while we can all hang out here, only some of us will eventually be tapped for the pre-alpha phase.

[balmy sandal]

Well it would be great if pre-alpha testing starts sometime this summer, but I'm a realist...

[thick oracle]

ah oke 🙂 Cool thanks

[cinder temple]

The devs have been releasing little character profiles each week over in #🌠│official-art as well as other Palia art they've created, and people have also been hammering them nonstop with questions in #851872239435644928.

[brittle halo]

the character profiles are honestly so amazing tho, I love them all so much already

[summer obsidian]

I honestly love it. Slowly getting introduced to them, and then knowing we will be interacting with them in game. I'm getting to know the characters really well!! (compared to how I have felt about NPCs in other games I've played)

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

[brittle halo]

I would gladly lay my life on the line for Einar tbh, no questions asked

[shut hinge]

Overflow is the saint of the chat on this day

[cinder temple]

Maybe, but I have a feeling he'd pick you up and carry you away from the line, because safety.

[brittle lance]

I can't wait to get some of your questions answered 😄

[shut hinge]

When the game is live I shall bestow pebbles

[summer obsidian]

Huh!? What'd I do?

[brittle halo]

praise be Overflow, saviour of the confused 🙏

[shut hinge]

I just like seeing you and others explaining stuff to people

And doing so politely

So often in communties people ask questions and are met with rudeness because it’s a common question

[summer obsidian]

oh, well it's not their fault they are stepping in a few minutes late and don't know everything. Gotta help everyone out

[shut hinge]

I agree I think people forget that discord communties as large as this are revolving doors and full of people active at different times so you are going to get similar questions

[cinder comet]

Hope you all had a good weekend 👀 Happy MOnday

[shut hinge]

Happy Monday!

[brittle halo]

oh gods it's monday

[cinder comet]

MOnday is my .. Wednesday...so hump day for me!

[summer obsidian]

I've missed you Juliet! You've been working like crazy!

[cinder comet]

I have been! Father's Day weekend had me crazy! HOw was your weekend?

[summer obsidian]

more relaxing, I took my pup to the beach with my mom. Then did Father's Day with my parents at their house yesterday

[wheat falcon]

Hello everyone ) i hope you are well

[lament forge]

Good Morning!

[knotty crown]

This is pre-alpha. Welcome xD

[summer obsidian]

I like that! This is the Pre-PreAlpha 😛

[graceful orchid]

lol

[lament forge]

heh

[summer obsidian]

Because, let's be honest, you KNOW there will be a reference to Chuu somewhere in the game. So community members had an impact of adding the term Chuu into the game (not confirmed - just my suspicions)

[cinder temple]

Yes. The truth that we don't get to play as Humans. We play as Chapaa.

[graceful orchid]

gahh!!!

[summer obsidian]

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

haha, plot twist...the chapaas play us...wait, what!?

[graceful orchid]

THis ^

[brittle halo]

that would kind of a be a flex though, release a game but nobody gets to play it

[graceful orchid]

hahahaha

[knotty crown]

the plot twist, we cannot mechanically play, we're actually just fish and have no control over our fishy bodies, and we get fished up one by one by a giant robot

[brittle halo]

now THAT'S prime gameplay right there, 5 star stuff

[summer obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/finding-dory-dory-baby-fish-memo-gif-8625869

[brittle halo]

time to figure out the logistics of cosplaying big fishergolem with noodle arms I guess

[kindred quest]

i doubt they would release the pre alpha before all the characters have been revealed

[tough orchid]

I’m really hoping they release the never-before-seen character anyway, we did try our best with only 3 options

[summer obsidian]

Their next Q&A isn't until July 8th...I doubt they would release Pre-Alpha before then. At that point, they may continue saying "Soon" or maybe they will have more information on when they think it will occur

[graceful orchid]

realistically we are probably looking at another 3-4 weeks

if not more.

[brittle halo]

all good things take time, when it's ready we'll be ready

[graceful orchid]

^

[summer obsidian]

I'm a stickler for the rules. We didn't get the votes. Maybe she will do it again for the next vote, but drop the number to 7,000 or 6,000

Speaking of...just calculated it and we just hit 6,000 votes! 🥳

[bright forge]

Or maybe just appearance with no info just like the other character?

[summer obsidian]

maybe? Do you want the car, the furniture set, or what's behind curtain #3 type scenario? LoL!

[graceful orchid]

i want Palia! hahaha

[bright forge]

guys we hit 6k!

[cinder temple]

The good news is that you currently have 50% of it right here in this server.

[tough orchid]

We might get a silhouette of the new character for tryin to push for 8k votes

[graceful orchid]

Okay, I'll be back later, time to feed the pet tarantula and go see what i have for class-work this week!

[graceful orchid]

This is very true.

[tiny otter]

did we get new villager yet

[summer obsidian]

they did it at 9:30PST last week, so maybe in the next 2 hours

[tiny otter]

ah ty

[stiff basin]

So what’s the main appeal of Palia for everyone?

[summer obsidian]

For me, the community

[cinder temple]

The idea that it'll be focused on chilling out and never push people into game modes they don't enjoy.

[graceful orchid]

the community for sure!!!

btw im back!

[brittle halo]

I'm just following the dopamine tbh, this looks like it should shake some extra sparks outta me

[willow sundial]

I just need a game to slack

[little silo]

A chance to do my own world building, breaking the preconceived expectations and having a community to share it with.

Also, go #📮│public-polls. It is close

[cinder temple]

@spring rivet You got tired of being a single duck, huh? I like the new name.

[stiff basin]

Cool! It’s really neat to hear this and especially how many of you have different reasons for liking the game

[spring rivet]

i don't like using a name i don't even know how i got in the first place 🤣

[cinder temple]

You didn't get it tattooed, did you?

[stiff basin]

My main interest comes from the fact that this pretty closely aligns with my ideal game already. I like games like stardew valley but I felt like the multiplayer base-building/farming aspect always fell flat because players have to only play at the exact same times or else one person in co-op would fall behind.

[stiff basin]

I take it you like ducks lol

[cinder temple]

Yes, it looks like people will have their own plots to manage and hopefully bartering will also be a thing, so you can grow your cabbages and your friend can grow potatoes and whenever you've harvested, you can make soup together.

[brittle halo]

friendship soup, the best MMO mechanic

[green briar]

I choose only to grow beets and sell them to old Russian ladies.

[stiff basin]

I’ve actually been (slowly) developing a small game pretty similar to that, so when I saw what Palia was doing in an MMO with Breathe of the Wild-inspired graphics, I was sold immediately

[jagged pendant]

I though you said bartending and I thought "I'm gonna make the best frigging bar in the world"

[knotty crown]

exploration

[stiff basin]

Honestly that would be cool too

One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Minecraft was the ability for players to dynamically create and run their own shops. It would be so cool to see a game like this incorporate aspects of that.

[brittle halo]

if the competitive scene isn't just businesses tryina outdo each other with ✨ soft vibes ✨ then I swear-

[knotty crown]

hopefully not even that

[jagged pendant]

Our mc server just had a reset and we just set out to create our own places with specialities

[knotty crown]

"Hello this is Palialetics, my Palia-locked Ultimate Ironman."

[stiff basin]

As long as the player economy only provided marginal benefits (so most of the reward is just the satisfaction of making a shop) then I feel like it could be a healthy kind of competition.

[worldly lily]

Hay again 🙂

[dim oxide]

hiiiiiii

I see the channels slowed down must be everyone lunch or nap time lol

yooo

what's happening while I was away?

[cinder temple]

The Duck moderator emerged from their slumber (and the Steve moderator has been called to moderate another server; long may he reign or whatever), we hit 6,000 villager votes, and A host of new people joined the server.

[spring rivet]

don't mind me, I'm just quacking around.. 🦆

[buoyant heath]

I've been gone for a few days, hope everyone had a wonderful and healthy weekend.

[faint dawn]

I can't help but imagine DiscoDucks being like the dad off jimmy nuetron.. Goes into his secret garden shed and theres like tons of wood painted ducks...

[cinder temple]

And just when you start to settle down from the shock, one of them blinks.

[warm plover]

Hey should I stay here or go to #💬│off-topic-chat? I'm feeling like garbage and Palia makes me a little happier so I wanted to hang out here to, i dunno, feel better? is that cool?

[cinder temple]

I'll meet you in offtopic if you need to get something off your chest.

[warm plover]

Thank you

[spring rivet]

it depends on your topic, but we're all happy to be with you in the #💬│off-topic-chat if you'd like someone to join you 🙂 🦆

[knotty crown]

the devs when we reach 7,999 votes.... - voting is closed!

[warm plover]

Should I be voting on all of them to boost the numbers higher

[knotty crown]

yes

[warm plover]

ok

is that even allowed? i guess they didnt say anything against it..

[knotty crown]

^

[stiff basin]

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s allowed. It’s not like they could go back and compare lists to see who voted twice, and it’s not like they’ll punish people for voting in a casual poll

[mint steppe]

Hi Palians.

[spring rivet]

[lavish remnant]

Romance isn't clean and safe? o.O Isn't that....like a feature of the game?

[mint steppe]

There isn't a goose emoji

[regal swallow]

Dont you mean Clogs?

[summer obsidian]

[molten path]

Thats cause geese aren't real.

[mint steppe]

[warm plover]

how can geese be real if our eyes arent real

[stiff basin]

🦆

[uncut bear]

Mornin all

[harsh herald]

[stiff basin]

New playable duck race confirmed

[spring rivet]

i'd never stop playing for sure

[harsh herald]

[summer obsidian]

Congrats @distant oar for becoming Community Director!!! 🥳

[uncut bear]

Person

[pastel pine]

Pog

[warm plover]

why not just call them chappachuus

[pastel pine]

We could

[clear prism]

No

[silk onyx]

Hey nice to meet all of you I just joined the Palia discord

[nocturne thorn]

chaluppas

[uncut bear]

Welcome!

[nocturne thorn]

hello and welcome! o/

[graceful orchid]

Welcome!!

[cinder temple]

I think once Palia's released, they won't be called anything. Just wordless yelling, sounds of anger, and surprised yelps from people who unexpectedly find one in the cupboard eating all of their food.

[graceful orchid]

LOL

[faint dawn]

basically it's community name vs Dev name for same animal...

[nocturne thorn]

sounds like a community need of rodent proofing services

[graceful orchid]

nuuuu!

[silk onyx]

I’ve never been part of prealpha anything so I’m excited to see what happens!

[nocturne thorn]

"Keeping the outdoors, outside!"

[uncut bear]

Don’t hit chapaa/chuus

[graceful orchid]

i saw @regal swallow earlier! good morning Pal!

[clear prism]

Devs called this fox or whatever as Chapaa.
Community decided that it should be called Chuu, cause Pikachu or whatever.

[cinder temple]

My brain just combined the names Foxie and Milk_render into Fox Mulder.

[uncut bear]

We are all just as excited as you!

[cinder temple]

cleans glasses

[balmy zenith]

So are the invites for pre-alpha going out yet or will that only happen when they have a pre-alpha date?

[warm plover]

👁️

[nocturne thorn]

lmao, where did mulder come from?

[uncut bear]

[faint dawn]

i refer to them as both Chapaa and Chuu.. I honestly just want a NPC one named Chuu.. xD
Daily Quest : Play Hide and Seek with the Chapaa named "Chuu" xD

[graceful orchid]

[cinder temple]

The X-files!

[silk onyx]

Haha soon is always good

[uncut bear]

The invites aren’t out yet but they’ll make an announcement when they do

[nocturne thorn]

X-cellent?

[graceful orchid]

everyone should head to #📮│public-polls and vote!!!!!

[spring rivet]

i'll call every character "duck". this duck and that duck

[carmine relic]

I'm up! 6k-something votes! We're almost there!

[graceful orchid]

^

we need 8k! LETS DO IT!

[balmy zenith]

yay i'm a boosteder

[uncut bear]

We are so close

[warm plover]

i have no idea if im even signed up for the prealpha

i probably am, but i forgot...

[uncut bear]

You should sign up

[cinder temple]

If you submitted an e-mail to them and/or filled out the survey then yes.

[nocturne thorn]

have you registered on the website? if so, yes.

[graceful orchid]

IF you are in this discord you are probably signed up

[warm plover]

probably

[novel plank]

i signed up like the minute i saw that first tiktok and watched the trailer like the day it came out because it showed up on my FYP day of...

[warm plover]

i wonder if palia will let us pick pronouns or if people will just Not refer to us

[graceful orchid]

same!

[cinder temple]

Apparently some of the NPCs will be romanceable regardless of gender, so I'd like to think that means the game will be designed with inclusivity in mind.

[carmine relic]

I assume we'll directly be refered to, or by name

[silk onyx]

Yeah I saw it pretty early too but my reason for wanting to join was pretty lame so we’ll see!

[harsh herald]

team chapaa

honestly i just want chapaa bc it's meaning in my native language is "good friend"

[regal swallow]

Good day!!!

[harsh herald]

but ngl chuu sounds way better 😂

[warm plover]

oh, yeah, but i was just wondering how the game will refer to us in the third person

[regal swallow]

I was having lunch want some?

[bright forge]

You don't choose a gender or pronoun, just a body type from faq doc

[warm plover]

can i have some

[regal swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-food-food-anime-gif-19978860

[warm plover]

oh, interesting
I'd like the option, but it's not really important

[clear prism]

ffs

[bright forge]

6.093 votes right now

[clear prism]

you switching the topic back to food again

[warm plover]

now im hungry but i cant eat :(

[cinder temple]

We can talk about hats instead if you like.

[warm plover]

🦆

[uncut bear]

Food and cooking is where it’s at! Can’t wait to build a tavern

[clear prism]

talking about hats
crusader helmet when?

[tiny otter]

anyyyyyyyyy new villager yet or..

[silk onyx]

Actually I love crafting

[warm plover]

oh i dont even know what i want to build

[cinder temple]

Would you accept a repurposed fishing pail with a sun painted on it?

[uncut bear]

Today is the deadline for the vote

[silk onyx]

I’d love to be a crafting guild master lmao

[regal swallow]

Do you think in Palia we can give npcs food?

[warm plover]

Maybe I'll build an outdoor dining area. I always like looking at pretty flowers.

[clear prism]

does it look like a helmet? i take whatever it is

[summer obsidian]

How dare work actually require me to work during the day instead of chat 😛 I'm back (for now)

[uncut bear]

Lol

[cinder temple]

Zeki most definitely. Close with the chef in the tavern? Partial to crepes? Bribe the cat. 👏

[warm plover]

actually i dont want to romance einar anymore
i thought about it and it would just be really depressing

[abstract tusk]

Why?

[warm plover]

cause he would outlive us

presumably forever

[abstract tusk]

Oh, well, yes. But shouldn’t he have a say in the matter?

[summer obsidian]

But just imagine, every morning you'd find a pebble beside your morning coffee...and even though pebbles are kind of...strange. It would be such a cute gesture!!

[warm plover]

Well, probably

[cinder temple]

Forget romancing Einar. Hold Einar's hand. Fish for hours with Einar. Einar, eternal friend. Einar, a lucky pebble in the pocket of your heart. 💙

[abstract tusk]

Imagine living forever with no love.

[uncut bear]

He is already 3000 years old…

[warm plover]

losing love would be painful though

Yeah but I dont think golems have a set lifespan

[abstract tusk]

Always

[cinder temple]

All love has a time limit, but it's still worth having it while you can.

[warm plover]

The person with the fuzzy hair in the villager vote looks cool

[silk onyx]

Hey there aren’t any questions about the crafting system should I ask one?

[bright forge]

6.102 votes

[uncut bear]

Go right ahead

[regal swallow]

Someone read my story

[warm plover]

She (presumably) looks rad and i want to see her

[abstract tusk]

Yes. Going to confess that I only voted for her because I really want to see the hair asset

[warm plover]

valid

[cinder temple]

Well I'm not going to just not read prose written by a shrew. Imagine the effort it took hopping between all of those keys with your entire body?

[lapis pine]

Oh god speaking of lifespan.. imagine if npcs could die and we could make a funeral for them

[regal swallow]

read in past tense, I said crepes in my story for Zeki

[uncut bear]

I voted for them cause their art implies some kinda alchemy (just a guess)

[clear prism]

rimworld, kenshi, fallout shelter, xcom, ehhhh...

[vestal egret]

just wan to ask, could we play the game already?

[cinder temple]

Yes I know, I'm saying I read it because a shrew wrote it.

[clear prism]

devs can play it, probably

[summer obsidian]

not yet, stay tuned...Pre-Alpha probably in the next few months (but there are only 1400 slots).

[warm plover]

do you think ill be able to romance zeki if i try hard enough

[wispy wyvern]

You know nothing Jon Snow. (Sorry, too hard to resist 😛 )

[clear prism]

"I dun wann eet"

[tight ruin]

I have arrived, tell me, ye people of the pale, how would you feel if there were "Neighborhood projects" like a group airship that you could fly around in, and it has a loudspeaker on the bottom to play music to those nearby? flight of the Valkyries intensifies

[clear prism]

Airship flying around? Brotherhood of Steel?

[warm plover]

that actually sounds rad

[vestal egret]

Shizzzzzz, i hope i got it

[cinder temple]

Skyborhood? Villairge? Uptown?

[clear prism]

Also there is another settlement that needs your help.
I'll mark it on your map.

[vestal egret]

gahaha get that a lot

[graceful orchid]

ugh, i need to get rdy to bike over to the gym for my daily exercise routine , ugh,

[wispy wyvern]

Colour me surprised.

[tight ruin]

a guil-... Neighborhood airship would be a legit way to show off, without making people feel super competitive, maybe there could even be an annual airship competition, make them modular like the houses so each one is unique

[warm plover]

someone would definitely make something nsfw out of their airship

[graceful orchid]

^

[tight ruin]

those would be the same people who make NSFW out of the housing system

[graceful orchid]

^

[warm plover]

fair

[graceful orchid]

some of the things i have seen in FF14 housing , oh my gawd!

[wispy wyvern]

Which seems unlikely to me.I am sure S6 have had these conversations and will prep accordingly.

[rose cedar]

instanced and prebuilt exterior aids in this.

[tight ruin]

if you let players have any say in the overall shape of a thing, there's going to be NSFW imagery

[graceful orchid]

^

[warm plover]

one of my friends has a house thats just covered in pictures of Aymeric
and theres a retainer locked in a cage in the basement
also the exit is covered so you can't leave through normal means

[graceful orchid]

well thats creepy ^

[cinder temple]

I imagine the game will have a report feature when it's needed, but hopefully it won't be needed often.

[wispy meadow]

I just want a small house with a big garden that's all

[warm plover]

i want to make a pretty house

[spring rivet]

i just want the game flooded by quacking ducks, that's all.

[graceful orchid]

someone come do my workout for me. please and thank you!

does minecraft have ducks? just breed them and ducks for all!

[wispy meadow]

As someone who kept ducks for a while, they are truly cute but also very messy eaters

[cinder temple]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-peas-duck-eating-peas-duck-peas-pea-gif-21895703

[wispy meadow]

Yep

[cinder temple]

Can confirm.

[tight ruin]

i just want to romance einar

[wispy meadow]

Ohhh

Friendship with the NPCs would be nice

Like in Stardew where you give them gifts

[carmine relic]

I want my wizard tower, darnit!

[summer obsidian]

This is confirmed. You will be able to become friends with the NPCS! 😄

[wispy meadow]

YESSSS

[vagrant wagon]

Hi

Wow very nice

[graceful orchid]

i'll be back later guys! have a good one!

[carmine relic]

Do not steal the ducks

[harsh herald]

there's also NPC romance if i'm not mistaken, right?

[warm plover]

bye bye

[tight ruin]

yes, but not with Einar

[harsh herald]

have a good workout 😂

[carmine relic]

You just causes grief for half the server

[wispy meadow]

Wait is Palia multiplayer?

[graceful orchid]

shuush you

[wispy meadow]

How will npc romance work with multiplayer? Would like 10 different people be trying to romance 1 npc?

[harsh herald]

well it would be impossible to predict that but

[carmine relic]

Dark evil clones I guess.

[harsh herald]

i assume you will get exclusive rewards/crops/missions/furniture or w/e from each one of them

the real question is can we romance more than 1 npc at the same time? 👀

[tight ruin]

probably instanced so that each person has their own meters for each npc, rather than an npc being like "oh, well i'm flattered, but i'm already seeing player "Hackyzack69"

[harsh herald]

hackyzack69 im dead 😂

[tight ruin]

the answer is yes, but they'll get angry if they find out

[warm plover]

polycule

[harsh herald]

only if they find out? 👀

🤏 😎

[static mango]

i like where ur heads at

[harsh herald]

hahahahaha

[carmine relic]

Hackyzack69 and BakedBeanEater, the most infamous travellers among the lands

[tight ruin]

as far as we know, not sure what sort of secret keeping methods there might be, but if you push 2 npcs to the point of marriage... i THINK they'd figure out something was up when 3 people show up to the altar

[harsh herald]

i know few ppl who would love to do that just for the sake of doing it

why can't they agree and live a happy life as a trouple?

[static mango]

villager no3 marriage material
