I was thinking about this last night and if I ever do have a child I'm going to intentionally get them to be born on leap year if possible
I was born on a Saturday on October 21st
You are evil.
Why are we talking about birthdays?
I know a girl whoโs sister, herself and her mother are all born on Feb 29th
apparently people born on 29 feb usually just celebrate on 28 feb or 1 march
Will we have birthdays in Palia? ๐
I am the luckiest unlucky person youll ever meet. I always get into crap situations/ have bad stuff happen to me but i always get the best possible outcome of those trash situations
There was a boy who I used to be besties with who literally only befriended me because he misheard me and thought I said October 31st and thought that was cool ๐
Do people track individual birthdays in Palia or are we all born on cake day
Oh, it was a Friday. Friday, November 11th. I do hope there are birthdays in Palia.
You have found the family of the Mary Sues
I have no idea how we got here. I'm.waiting for the next bus back to Palia. ๐
The day I was born the world shed a tear. They knew the apocalypse had began.
Would be awesome if there were birthdays in Palia
That's not correct. They should only celebrate once every 4 years, but 4 times as big
October 29th 
theyre definitely the protagonists
Imagine giving birth on your birthday, mental.
my official Bday is Thurs the 12th. My mom told me that she told the doctor if I was born on Fri the 13th she wouldnt take me home. ๐ฆ
Wednesday Dec 26th for me. Birthdays in Palia would be splendid 
I mean, even if they donโt have technical birthdays, there is a certain amount of role playing. Haha.
@woeful sedge Thatโs my daughters birthday as well
December 29TH for me!!
My mom told me that even tho I was the smallest of my siblings, I was the most difficult to birth. I think that was her warning that I was gonna grow up to be difficult ๐
Aw, cool!
I was born on Feb 11
....the parents who had kids on February 29th definitely knew what they were doing when they conceived the kid right
It reminds me of a time where me and a childhood friend first met in elementary school because the teacher thought it was a fun idea to pair us up together to an activity just because we shared the same birthday!
You found your twin, congrats!
My niece shares the same birthday as her father, apparently it's a 1 in 365 chance of happening โ
I have an actual twin ๐
Little known fact: they made the calendar emoji after my birthday ๐
Do they have pink hair or like looking out of windows?
Ugh I have never met someone with my birthday. I only share a birthday with Kim Kardashian and a character from Love Live ๐
Yours sucks a little less than mine lol
Lotta people gonna be born on launch day
Great thanks to S6 many of us have cleared out our spam folders =)
Whens your bday?
No but she definitely has Mary Sue characteristics, sheโs good at everything
My brothers are like six and seven years older than me respectively
so hard to relate to them
Definitely Mary Sue family XD
Oct 21st, 2000!
i actually dont remember if the middle brother is five or six years older than me actually...
Most of my extended family are old as boogers. My cousins have kids older than me
Im October 14 2000, very close!
Youngest of 3, Rin?
Yuppers
March 12th for me, and the rest of my family is all in October
Oh, same here!!!
Same, all my siblings are significantly older than me. I miss my sis, not seen her in about 20 years.
Wow you get a whole time of the year to yourself!
I got a slightly bigger title of "Youngest of 4"
Any triplets in here or am I the only one
i share a birthday with obama
D:
Oh no, I'm feeling old. I'm still in my 20s, darnit!
Omg you're 7 days older than me ๐ฎ
I feel young HAHA
I'm 19 so I'm the baby of the chat
Lol donโt feel old... I was born April 27th 1988. I am old 
I thought we had grandparents here?
quietly leaves #๐ฌโpalia-discussions when I realise I'm a little older than the average age
someone born in 2000
me: ๐ต
Dilbert is the local grandpa
Thereโs a few that beat you out
Do you guys all have names or is this a Gambit 1, Gambit 2, etc situation xD
Mood
nOoOoO cOmE bAcK
Carzy thinkin people born in 2000 are literally able to drink smh
Don't you go anywhere!
Hey 
I"ve got you beat by almost a year, 87 april baby here
1987 here, practically an ancient
Iโm 18. Get one upped 
wow
I was born 1990. Weโre not old yet 
They aren't online, so I'm the only Gambit known to man! Or uh, this server I guess. Also yea, we got different actual names
I'm 1989 I feel old haha
Thanks, I feel better. I'm okay being the "middle child"
2002 ๐
Iirc in UK law you can drink privately indoors at like, 5 years old
I have the unenviable title of "Eternal Babysitter for generation my own and beyond"
Oh. I'm 27...I guess I don't feel quite as old?
There were people online yesterday who were worried about not being 18 and thus not being able to sign the NDA
I'm your babiest brother 30 under 30 media luminary griffin mcelroy rin
Haha that's funny. They're not. I don't care if they can legally drink. They are still baby they not allowed to drink I don't make the rules sorry
32 years and I'm still waiting for a good game, Please let me enjoy Palia before dementia
'88 ๐
When you are proud to be born the same year like Gangsta paradise of Coolio in 1993....and 99% of other people is younger than you ๐ญ
React with 1 if youre an only child, 2 if youre a middle child, 3 if youre the youngest, 4 if youre the oldest
@iron pagoda yup Iโm 33... weโre just seasoned gamers 
'78! ๐ซ
haha, '81 here. Just turned the big 40 this year
Grandma out here
I'm only a year older, but people born in the 2000s being adults make me feel old.
Yup!
YEARS OLD?!?! I jest.
Bro I turn 21 this year and that's so crazy, to me
all of them
Maybe in the future will be games dedicated to senior like us
we need to start our own neighborhood with a crochet club!
I'm glad the average age here is older than like, 20 tbh
There's a lot of people here you don't see in typical Gamerโข๏ธ demographics and that makes me happy
Man. I'm gonna turn 22 soon... now I feel old!
I shouldn't be allowed in clubs ๐ I'm so excited omg
28 lol
@iron pagoda hahaha yes please
I'm crocheting it up as we speak!
I've said it before, Old gamers have wanted this style of game for decades and not one company had the balls to actually develop it. (I'm not old, only 26 but still)
I have old person vibes though
omg 22 is nothing.. LIVE while youre young
Definitely
I AM AND EVERYTHING SUCKS MOSTLY
look forward to game nonstop in the retirement home
Absolutely TRUE
I honestly thought the demographic was a lot younger based on the chat sometimes, but I was wrong! ๐
Then again, I'm only 7 years older than the 2000s kids... it's just weird haven been able to watch someone from infancy to adulthood.
I am definitely old and I've been waiting my whole life for this.
im sorry ;___;
dont feel old i am am 37
All would be welcome so long as you drink tea and chase whipper shnappers of my pa tunas
We are all children at heart for video games
Nope, we even have lots of parents here!
I've always been one of the oldest of my friends, but was always treated like the youngest ๐
retirement homes will soon just be gaming cafes filled with retired gamers
Gotta kettle on the stove rn
I would be happy to do a 'village'? 'Town'? Whatever they will be called in Palia, of us 'seasoned gamers' โค๏ธ
Very true ๐ฅฐ
Sign me up!
I hope so
That was how I felt when interacting with a cousin of mine the other day...I felt my hair turning gray.
I drink only the finest earl gray!
i cant wait for the s6 team to show us the gameplay 
Picard approves
Iโm more of a peppermint kinda gal, but we can bring our own tea bags
Utterly based Earl Grey drinker
Here, if youre comfortable
React 1 if youre 10->19
React 2 if youre 20->29
React 3 if youre 30->39
etc ๐
Idk how many people talk here, but since i'm here, I'm happy to see how the community is nice
@wispy meadow so true. My husband and I joke we donโt adult like most of our friends ๐คฃ
I KNEW IT
US YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THE MOST SCARCE
Either theres a lot of us who are the babies of our families,or people didn't read the order listed here xD
The community is nice until the Potatoes are ready for their crusade.
Yeah this place is special. Bunch of comfortable old folk just being chill tbh.
Young folks are only rare 'cause they're stuck in school most of the time, so we don't see them often.
I am the baby of my family but my brother is 5 years older then me. My husband is 41.
The number order is stressing me out :
I guess it makes sense. I guess most young people wouldn't be that interested in a life sim, but I grew up on Rune Factory!!!
I feel less alone now XD
yeah
I'm so old I remember the original console wars between Atari 2600, Intelevision, an Colecovision
OFFICIAL art!
art pog
I wanted to write a 'children's' book for adults who can't adult, but I learned that there was reasons for me being unable to adult, so it kind of faded away.
Me when the semester starts
WHAT I WANT ASHURAA
Y'all I thought I lost my graduation thingy for a moment
I think there was a bug with the invites. I didn't get one. ๐
POGGERS
It is pretty awesome that so many people are older. Iโm 27 and it feels nice haha
Nele being sassy omg
That ping terrified me
Okay um....
How does someone crop a gif?
DIPLOMA, that's what that thing is called
Let my man win. ๐ฆ
how could you do this to me Nel
Oh we now have confirmation that it's an inn!! Yay
l o l heโs been denied for a question mark
can we pin this???
the new gameplay gif makes me want an emote to just lay down on the floor there after a long day
Any young people have pre-alpha? 
โ
โ
The Inn looks very cozy #๐ โofficial-art I wonder if you can actually stay in it?
@distant oar
WAIT THE QUESTION MARK MADE US MISS OUT ON ASHURA
I'd love a rare emote that lets you just lie down face down on the floor like a slob
Feels bad for Ashura
I am new here! This game looks so good to be true ... pls someone slap me ?
I knew question mark was gonna make us suffer
Rip
Its not our fault it was put there though
from what i can tell ive seen age ranged from 17-50+, but i dont ask for that info :P
I want to know the new characters lol
โ betrayed us
Welcome!
Lucky!
17 year olds can sign legal documents?
thank you
but yeah im gonna chill in that tavern all day everyday
I'm 17 personally
No new characters, we didnโt get Ashura 
I was raised never to ask a Lady her age!
โ โ
You guys played yourselves, RIP Ashura
No
Wow, that new gif in #๐ โofficial-art is so gorgeous! and cozy...
thank you nelli it's beautiful
you were raised well xD
im so dissapointed

I wonder if we'll have different furniture variants.
The cropped Ashura gif is flashing/spazzing for me when not clicked ๐
they can with parental consent
They can, I've signed one with Twitch 
Vote โ guys!!!! More chaos!!!
Only under rare circumstances
@void imp you get an email yet?
I legitimately thought that โ would be a surprize... well, I guess it was.
If really is! Iโm so excited!
They have to co-sign with parents
i may not get an e mail but i will wait for your feedback guys

you guys left ashura in jail ๐ญ
This Gif is the place where all of the village will meet other to talk about day's adventure
not yet ๐ ๐ how about you?
I'd love different furniture events for stuff like cottage core, marine-esque, or some weird callbacks from different furniture from different cultures and games and etc
Are those keys left hanging on the wall to the rightโฆ.
@tranquil cosmos love your No face photo!
you know what i meant
Me !
People say this community isn't toxic while they actively vote against seeing my man. Now he's cropped from art ๐ฆ You should be ashamed of yourselves. The potatoes will remember this day.
The flower emote is so helpful
I can use it to just say "I've seen your message" or "I'm sorry" or anything and it works
Seeing little things like that is so nice!
Lucky you!
Also not yet 
imagine โ being a random character or animal XD
Yeah ๐๐
Gib Tau
Absolutely! I look forward to just chilling in a voice chat with friends while taking in the ambiance.
kitsuu reveal kitsuu reveal
I hope โ is pie lady ๐ฅบ please ๐ฅบ
Thank yooouuu, just spreading some love around
Was the โ option really the fireplace reveal
I wear my grandmothers wedding band to remind me to be respectful because she was the most special person I ever had the privilege of meeting.
Britt you can just go visit pie lady ingame
Otters are the best animals, hands down 
Nah, I think theyโre just being sassy
That's sweet
we just got a tease of the tavern that was ?
Keep it the villager vote even
That made me so soft๐ฅบ
Oh you sweet summer child
It's true
I read ambiance wrong and was freaking out. XD
it;s actually on the chain in my PP
idk who has permissions to pin
btw Otter did you see the character card i made for myself
I read that WRONG
Yep! It was cute <3
Iโm still reading it wrong
people usually say pfp xD oml
๐
Yeah that came out sus
Yeah I had to take a moment to parse that O.O
New Palia profession: Chimney Sweep. "Step in Time!"
fix the inequality in #๐ฎโpublic-polls
Ooooih okay thank goodness I was confused and concern
vote Ashura!!
yall... i just saw my pfp and thought "wow new person who's this?"
i think im too tired... im not even recognising myself...
Listening to kdrama music and Palia chat. Itโs a good day. This community is seriously fantastic. 
I loved this reveal ngl xD
Palia version of a kitty carrier, but for Chapaa or chickens
well you have a dirty mind.. haha
Just beat the game, was pretty good
or for a kitty ๐
i'm laughing so hard, love your grandma and how you honour her though
fireplace best villager
You just get a surprise Grimaulkin or whatever
This is your priest here, demanding you go to villager-vote and fix this issue.
GOOD
Pryce: PP Everyone: ๐คจ
such a lovely fireplace
I fixed it, for like 2 seconds
Good afternoon. Hope everyone is having a good day.
btw if female grimalkin just look like anime girls with cat ears im gonna riot
Sleeeeep

ye-ah
my disappointment would be immeasurable
nel might just be joking

fair
yes please
sleep is for the weak hrngrh passes out
I'm old, in my day pfp was PP ya'll just got gutter brains
points at all the rascals in the chat who voted โ ๐
Back in my day pfp was avatar.
In my day we called it profile picture or avatar and didnโt abbreviate.
ITS TIED
THE VILLAGER VOTE
It's usually tied
ASHURA WE LOVE YOU
yes vote for โ
I swear I didn't vote โ ๐
Yes
WE DO
It must stay tied
#Unlucky
I want a cool character card ๐ฅบ
Balance must be kept to keep peace.
air bender or..
Nah I dont believe in peace OR balance, only chaos ๐ค
Lmao the way the voting changed after they said it's tied ๐
I do love the Tavern gif. It looks so cozy
you cant say that to Ashura's facee

no, pfp was called avatar
We did it
The tavern looks so niceee
i want a reveal of the ginger girl with the braid, she looks fun
KEEP GOIN FOR ASHURA
Right? I am sure otherwise we wouldn't have gotten that tavern xD
that joke really did pass you like that huh
I wanna sit by that fire and relax right now
Honestly I just want โ to win... We gotta see what happens
yeah with the goggles she looks cool
Yiss. It looks comfy 
Keep the S6 proud of our community by keeping it even
Wasn't it the fireplace
Okayyyy
Before the chat gets political again
How many chapaas does it take to bake a pie?
I got the joke, just wasn't sure if it was
roast some marshmellows and wenies on that fire
can confirm it was
Name checks on. On brand 10/10
Yeah she's super cute, I love her
depends whats your caloric intake for the day?
that's right shrew!
But perhaps they are going to do another villager vote?
None???? Why would you want to eat chappas they are so heckin cute ๐ฅบ whyyyy
Someone said pie!!! ๐คค

I think you need to kill like 3 to get enough meat for the pie. Idk
Lol some shade being thrown in the artwork channel ๐คฃ
mix up the votes, you say?
i thought the question was about how many chapaas it took to actually bake the pie. like, the chapaas are the chefs
I meant like training them to be like Remi from Ratatouille, you know, Chef Chappaas. But how many would it take for them to bake a pie?
I mean, now 1๏ธโฃ is winning xD
i was right all along
if its even we are together closer than any other community
Vote โ all the way. It's the best choice
hehe, cute
Oh no, the Balance on the Villager Vote is falling apart. Stop it! We need to keep the Balance. ๐ฑ
i think itd take at least 3 chapaas to bake a pie
i want to meet him ;-;
Oh that's 10000 percent acceptable... I'd say ummm 6? Maybe?
At one point โ was winning I think ๐
3 Chappas in a trenchcoat trying to act like a person
I preffer โ or a draw
Perfect! Now to fine tune my plan to organize a Chappaa Master Chef
I've never been as committed to something, as I am currently committed to representing โ
I also want โ to win.
I love that this discord exists and has already offered up such great memories to look back on such as the current villager vote.
you all make me happy.
I think before they announced the inn, โ was winning by a lot
You question marks are making me question humanity ๐
lesgooo ashuraaaa!!
I love the mystery. It's like, ooh a secret... I need it.
Some maniac is hellbent on making it uneven
It's time to tip the balance, โ gang all the way.
โ
I wanted โ to win, but now Iโm curious to see what happens if itโs tied ๐
Children no fighting over unknowns
gib me alpha key
โ
โ
WHO IS HE
humanity do be a question mark
โ
Would be funny People keep them equal lol๐คช
โ
โ
ooh oops! I called that the tavern! I think it looks wonderful either way though
Where has duck been? Havent seen him in a hot minute
๐
Exactly. This is why we must keep it tied
frick
#FreeMyMan
Tie or ?
I am now a proponent of 1๏ธโฃ and โ balance

โ
I've sat here all day waiting for this powder keg to reignite ๐ฅ
I just wanna know what โ gives us... Is it someone new? Is it a new animal? Is it a new place? Like... It could be so many things and I NEED to know
wow that new gif in art is just meaaaaan I want the whole thing (and more)
โ
I feel like you are the type to rush to open presents from burning curiosity
There's a certain aura of mystery that โ gives and I must see it through.
And I must know
If I don't know what the present is yes. That is me.
โ
Like a mystery character? That would be funny
Same..
That's what I'm saying! Down with Ashura and on to mystery!!!
Detective Chapaa (think detective Pikachu but with a chapaa)
Agreed
Sush a cruel world Palia is turning out to be 
Tbh, I am rooting for a tie between โ and 1๏ธโฃ. Maybe we will get the character and another gif xD
Poor ashura haha 
What if...the ? gave us a POV of Ashura from behind. Cuz some people keep turning their back on him ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
So you guys think we are close to 1200 invites yet?
Down with Ashura? I beg to differ!
you guys know how one of the question on the questionnaire was what would you change about your favorite game, I kinda want to see all those answers
Probably pretty close
my theory is ... either โ is Ashula .. a trick to make us pick one or the other ... or .. it is the Mayor or Duchess or the armourer or a member of the Oniata family .. we have heard from all of them but no info on them ๐
You guys are gonna invoke Ashura's Wrath, and I'm all for it.
Down with order, give me โ
That was my favourite to answer
probably? I just wait for the official info so I can give up haha
Probably halfway done, maybe more maybe less
No way to know until Nel says
I loved that question ๐ฅบ I wrote so much ๐
Rememebr guys 1๏ธโฃ is definitly ashura, but โ could be anything, even Ashura
Id love to see that happen, but im sure we must vote on either or. Although I would love to see Ashura, I am way too curious for my own good
I canโt imagine that it takes that long to copy paste stuff
Same here! xD
I wonder what Nel will do if it stays tied
Especially if they had a bot run all night with it
hahahaha that would be so funny
Yeah โ could still be Ashura and Nel is just trolling us. ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT
I feel so bad for Ashura
Like I said, no way to know until Nel or another dev says
me: watching if i got into pre-alpha
social media and websites i'm registered to: "Did you know we have 50% off if you buy it today?!"
If I remember correctly, someone has the audacity to add the โ and it was not a default option
Ok back to work... keep up the fight, team โ
What if ? is Genderbend Ashura?
If they want to release a character, release them. Why blame the community lol seems passive aggressive
I think โ will reveal the Chuu king
โ Could also be a test, and Ashura will never be revealed :(
The only person who can is Nel...
HOW IS IT STILL TIED
It has to be tied
The โ was put by someone of the dev team?
If there's ever Ashura in a trailer, he should initially be shown as a silhouette
nah it's just all good fun
Hey OLDD Punk Noodle Whirly ๐ฅฐ
โ is sad Ashura or Ashura giving us the cold shoulder ๐ฅถ
MYSTICAL MAGIC
...hmm
_
Because Palia community
Hmm doesn't seem like it from the outside, but I guess
๐
I want noodles
Nel kinda beaned herself by adding that questionmark ๐
I'm noodle
Hiiii @west stream
Local Chair confesses to rigging election between tavern keeper and โ
hi!
Shhh, not really~~
I dont see a point of putting a vote with one option lol
No matter what happens, can't wait to learn about Ashura 
If there was only one option imagine no one voting at all
Maybe if it's tied we get both ๐
Is for funsies, or is a top secret social experiment to figure out the way to quickly move the community to action vis a vis CHAOS
If there was only one option, it shouldn't even be a vote
that's... That's smart. If they pull off something like this we gotta convince EVERYONE to NOT vote
Or there being a vote with no option to vote so we HAVE to get Ashura ๐คฃ this way we have a chance to get something totally random
Ironically Ashura was the one I'd hoped would be revealed sooner
But here we are lmao
lo
the emails take a day to send for alpha testing?
Tbh, I think not wanting to see Ashura has become a meme xD
yes
Yep keep eye on game announcements for when all is sent
That's the timeframe they gave.
Most likely throughout the day.
Ok so basically hes purple
Ashura bhahahaa
Jokes on you, purple's my favorite color
Brain refuses to stay awake any longer so....
Goodnight folks ๐
Have fun with the voting
I got mine at 11pm last night.
Ahh lucky
lucky you ๐
I didnt get anything L
MORE RYANS????
good night ana !! <3
8pm here, waiting ๐
Itโs not about the reveal guys itโs about sending a message, and that message is 
Some people received them right at 5:00, and some are still getting them
I think they will make another announcement post when all the invites have been sent, so we can stop refreshing our inboxes ๐คฃ
HAI NOMI!
HAI
same haha
how many more waves?
Has anyone gotten a recent invite?
Ryan confirms the devs are looking for insomniacs so they can get that sweet 24/7 playtesting
Still a chance you might since the 24 hr mark is a few hours out, and last wave took a little longer than expected.
none for the pre alpha
I can give you all my 3 day weekend hours letโs gooo
I am an insomniac, I have a certificate!
waves frantically at S6 devs
Any idea when alpha may begin?
I'm play whenever they say 
we don't know for sure .. they said 1400 for PreAlpha total .. first was 200 this was 1200 .. so either this is it for Pre Alpha or they raise the total number .. but either way there will likely be other testing possibilities before it is ready to be released.
Same. Been an insomniac ever since I started MMOโs in 1999 
Want a fun fact about me?
I wish I can get the email
waiting is killng me XD
@iron pagoda yes please ๐คฃ
same
I was thinking about that - they said they were limiting it to 1400. But I find it weird that they called it, in this most recent announcement, the "second" wave instead of the "final" wave, and never confirmed this is the remaining lot of invites.... ๐ค
Maybe I'm overthinking though ..
why dont you just... take a seat
@surreal crest
I just had my brother check to make sure our email servers spam filter didn't kick in .. thankfully they weren't blacklisted for 'spamming' like some of my email senders get that shouldn't rofl. So .. yep .. now its waiting for the finished post to get back to normal ๐
My insomnia was so bad <4 months ago I was getting <1 hour sleep a night, so at 3am I decided the only way to solve my issue was to throw my bed out and start sleeping on my floor.
at the end of the day, everyone will get a chance. Whether it's in pre-alpha, alpha, or release ๐
๐ช
so try not to ovethink how many are in what section
They said this wave was 1200, but the last wave was 200. So that's the full 1400 they said would be in. (If everyone accepts)
but we want it noooooowwwwwwwww
They might have a final backfill but thatโs it (my guess)
just think, even if you don't get in before release, you're going to start playing when the game is the most polished and the most finished
:O
throws Palia ball
also, and keep in mind this is all speculation without any information right now, but I'd assume with pre-alpha you wouldn't get much time to just have fun with the game, it would be more focused on testing features and not the whole gameplay experience
#FreeWhirly
test
s
But that's also something I think most of us wanna do xD
whirly smells like clean socks
I'm just hoping I can like, play and enjoy the game before I have to go back to school in October ๐ฉ bc I won't have much freetime then
Yep yep. Pre-alphaโs for the game, not for you. Getting an early look at the experience is just a bonus!

LOL.
I've been waiting all morning for my role to update. 
Same. Patience is a virtue. c:
If it was 9:36am at 11:36am (CST), then it's almost 11am for them right now. They made the announcement yesterday at 4:10pm my time, making it 2:10 their time. Assuming that there is one person sending them, and they didn't work overnight, let's say that it takes 5 minutes to prepare the email and make sure that all of the details are correct before hitting send. We know that they're not working 9-5 because I got mine at 10pm, 8pm their time. So, while we don't know what their hours are, let's assume that they work a normal 8 hours. Maybe they had just started work at 2pm, so the announcement at 2:10 was as everyone was getting settled in. So, then if they worked 8 hours, 2pm PT to 11pm PT, and took an hour lunch, and two paid 30 minute breaks, that means 6 hours of sending emails yesterday. At 5 minutes each, that's 12 an hour for a total of 42 invites. That's not a rate that can do 1,200 in 16 hours, so we need a better rate of time for the person sending emails to be working. OR, there are multiple people sending them.
I've been waiting for the role updates too 
Or a bot is sending them on timed intervals to avoid spam filters.
You have it, boo!
They were sending through the night
TL:DR
No likey
No invitey.
"One of the best ways our playtesters can help us is playing our game and experiencing our content in an organic way! Weโve done tons of tests of the individual pieces, but itโs hard for us to get a good idea of how the holistic experience feels. " about the testing
I want more friends!
Me too!
Oh, I see! 
tldr? xD
i wanna be your friend
Oh didn't see this, thank you xD
Yeah, I think they're sending them out in an amount of time since I got mine at 1:30am CST last night.
you're overthinking this, they use an automated email sender :P just like every company ever
xD

I got you.
Insufficient information to determine how many invites have been sent. Also, I did get an invite, so that's not why. XD I just felt that it would be fun to work that out.
๐ฅฑ Maybe it's time to lose all hope and go to sleep.
You seem to have a very active olfactory nerve.

I accept your proposal of friendship on the basis of you being a chapaa supporter
GN sleep tight
I feel you 
gm mushy :D
I still have hope so pls don't give up!
If this is the case, though, then why are they not all sent?
yay
What is your secret Perin?
I didn;t just google olfactory ๐
so that email providers dont mark as spam and auto delete
Haha you can have the rest of mine too.
If you haven't looked at them already, there are 2 Unofficial FAQs that streamline what we have learnt from the Devs since day 1 on the server. We may mention these occasionally but while you frantically wait for that possible email invite .. here are the links in case you haven't read them.

Sometimes you just gotta sniff things out if you're not sure what something means
Thanks!
Didnt they send out additional 1200? I'm assuming they are done sending invites for this wave.
Probably 
Thank you!
whirly has the best emojis
I learned my lesson about randomly sniffing things a long time ago, darn roommate and their spoiled milk
I'm just positive in general and want best for my friends that's all I think
For all time.
no, would take a day for all email invites to go out .. still have 3-4 hours to hit that 24 hour window .. maybe more if it takes a bit longer than a day
except for..that one emoji.....
That's a good mental attitude, I rate it
the pee one?
shhh dont mention it

hes gunna post it
I gotta say, even coming from me, this joke was a little on the nose.
I don't think I've seen the pee one. THIS IS NOT ME ASKING TO SEE IT, I'm just saying...
Im sorry the pee what????
Ulg... I do NOT feel well...
~~I'm sure that discord role updates will, "Be sometime today."
~~
she wants to see it
Um what
oh god now look what youve done T.T
cuddles up in corner
We've already had enough concern over PP & pfp
really dafuk
evill kitty strikes again, well maybe not again .. haven't seen it strike before now rofl
Confusion and chaos from simple misunderstanding ๐ but was hilarious
This was buried.. why do you do this to me? ๐ฆ
ah okay so no PP
noo ashura is winning by 2 votes

Everyone is talking about || pee || now. I didn't at you @iron pagoda to avoid calling you out, but now...๐ณ
I was sitting here wondering how the pepe peepee emoji reaction come to be, then saw it was Whirly. 
yay for Ashura~ even though we would like to try for both
If it's about Discord it's called an avatar which would solve that quite nicely.
Oh no the spiral is now complete
Did I shoot myself in the foot? .. damn it. I was just trying to be sentimental about my heirloom 
Groundhog Day but itโs pp
i hope the dev's let us know when the 1200 invites are out so i can stop refreshing my inbox
๐
It really was sweet ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
hi everyone
They will!
Astro has indeed divined it
I love that so much
I've accepted the fact that I'm not going to get an email, that's just how my luck goes
same mah dude
Mine too, but Iโm so glad other people will get to experience it
Well not with that attitude
I thought that too but got one earlier in the morning! Keep your head up! You never know
I got an email this morning as well. Give it time!
Ya gotta believe!
Sounds like a lot went out in the morning!
most of us won't get the email . so you won't be the only one missing out ๐ . . 1.4k out of 90k+ ... yes .. 90% of the server will still be hovering hoping for another invite opportunity or gameplay videos to watch ๐
๐ท ๐
This is only Pre-alpha! Who knows what will happen down the road โค๏ธ
I dunno I'm the type of guy who fails 90% enchants in pso2 ngs 3 times in a row and still got an email. So there's hope
That is, if those 90k signed up
I can only hope for an open Beta in the future at this point 
P is for Palia, Patience and || Princesses, not the other thing you were thinking ||
Pastry?
true, a load of people don't even have roles so the chances of them seeing the second invite form is probably slim
Mmm pastry ๐คค
PP
I'll just be happy to help, whenever I can 
true that but at least 11k responded to the #๐ขโpalia-news so still a high difference
How does one change their role btw? I want to change mine to the they/them colorway
How provocative
go to the #๐โserver-directory channel
PAL
You add a reaction in #๐โserver-directory.
PP = Party People jeez
that's right I was first ya'll back off!
To be fair, my internet is awful at work and I didn't see anyone answer.
i think its the roles channel, im not sure though ๐ค
And here I thought it stood for pu||nctuation because people really like the โ ||
Well they did a discord ish favored wave and then a complete survey waveโฆ kinda hope future waves blends the two sides
the colour of the they/them role is a very nice shade of teal 
Dont make me bonk you

Teal is BiS color since Protoss in the 90โs
i like teal and purple
it is a conundrum that one.. ๐ค
Poiple all the way
what happened? โ is behind
The who now
Im happy to see either or tbh. I dont think we would get both
sorry i cant read
The community is stronger when its even
poor gobbo
Royals these days smh
Ok I gotta bounce and live in reality ๐ณ Bai for now
bai fren
Bueeeee
What is reality, precious?

That place between sleep and Palia
2,5h left so If someone still have hope stay with me! 
Your Chapaa role overrides the color from the pronoun role. That's why I didn't choose a chapaa/Chuu role.
Hahaha wait, for invites?
Happy for the override since she/they is.. white. o.o
Chuu>Chapaa
yep 
Till the beta end my guy โค๏ธ
It's kind of blue on my screen lol
Incorrect
Thatโs if it takes only 24 hours 
My wife got an alpha invite and I couldn't be more jealous lol
Oh! ๐ฎ
a day =/= 24 hours exactly
That's the one I use, it just looks white in the roles channel.
guess imma just check my mail again tomorrow
I'm waiting for my husband to wake up to check his. Am gonna feel bad if he doesn't get one.
bought few games on sale but im already looking for something else
I assumed since they used the white dot it would be white, but you're right! xD I wonder if they realize the color they assigned the role isn't exactly white.
a day could be 2+ days depending on what planet youโre on
I hope it stays this color lol
well white is unrolled so i would expect so
My gf got a invite but she goes to a different school you wouldnโt know her
Oh true.
Introduce her in game
rolled*
That's good to know, thank you!
Pretty.
Man i feel cheated
Chuu rules โค๏ธ
this role is supposed to be lavender
thats hard to see in dark mode
blinding purple
squint-to-read purple
The role looks [redacted]
Man whoever matched colors and stuff must be colorblind, no offense
Sigh nothing in the email yet..
the role color and the dot color are not connected, they just needed something for people to be able to react with
I want purple!
who doesn't
i'm with you perin! hold my hand ๐ค
They may not use dark mode
perin go to bed
Guess ill be going with this
heresy!
it's really early for perin, or did he not sleep?

yall ever like, heal someone in a video game
Yes
playing mercy right now
for me it's only 8:32 pm
7.30pm here
๐ง โ
NGL resto shaman has ruined healing in any other video game for me
Aui aui
I'm always the healer ๐ฎ
This ^ ^ ^
๐ญ
and heal a person as in pve multiplayer?
same for me
will palia have heal roles ๐
wait, fae? ๐
No ๐ง only 
?
how do you heal with no health
faeries?
no
Yup... Myself! All the health is mine, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!
i think the game has not even combat mechanics
theres no hp :P nothing to heal
its a messed around with latin of my irl name
Oh rip lol, thought there was super mild combat, shows how much i know =p
no need for healing in Palia .. no health bar or death
ooh thats fun too
What about soul and mental health?
closest thing to combat is hunting, which..its not really combat at all haha
or rather the meaning of my irl namr
hunting is basicly one sided combat
i like to be creative with names
i wonder, does the game really look like in the trailer or is it tuned up with 2002002020022 render shit
ooh no it's time to sing again to distract myself from the variety of invite feelings and it's spongebob songs again*
if there is no hp bar then there is stamina bar?
nope
outside of a couple of obvious animations, the trailer was made in engine with a cinematic camera
so no PVE either?
MFW I get a new email and it's just student discounts for ice cream

ok thanks you
๐ญ
hey ice cream is still good
dont diss the ice cream!
Did anyone get there email yet?
nope
it says in the trailer 'in engine pre-alpha footage'
I want Palia not ice cream 
nope
Nope ๐ฉ
Nel will communicate when they are
And itโs still gorgeous!!
some people got eamils, im not sure how many have been sent so far. there will be an announcement when all invites are sent.
Hmmm.... They said the invites would be going out through out the next 24 hours... there should be hundreds of people who got there email already...
there is a lot who have!
They'll announce when the invites are done being sent out, lovelies. โค๏ธ
People have been mentioning if they got the email
Ahh okay.
no email
they will announce
they said 'a day'. that does not mean exactly 24 hours, its more of a general timeframe
wonder how many of those 1200 will even login
Oh mighty RNGeesus, I beg of you for this email!
they cant be done yet, i didnt recieve mine yet 
I want an update from a dev lol
haha
How many peeps we have in this discord? anyone got a general number?
atleast 7
92,115
o, o
92 115
There seems to be a mistake, my email isn't there?
RNGeesus be damned, he's always cursed me
I imagine many people wisely haven't come forward to say they got one either. You get hit with quite a few "share your key with me!!!" messages when you post you got the email... ๐
how do you see this
its not rng
so out of 92 thousand people they sent out 1200 emails, Which means each person has a more or less 1 in 10 chance of getting one
keys have never worked like that
If XCOM taught me anything, it's that even a 95% chance is a failure. RNGesus be damned.
Dots next to the server name on the left sidebar
No, not everyone who registered is on the discord. They said they had hundreds of thousands of apps
I love your name!
Ahh okay, Fair enough!
there were hundreds of thousands of applicants. The odds are lower. I really wouldn't feel too bad about not getting an email!
hey all, I know the possibility of pre-alpha is exciting! But spending all day constantly checking email and asking repeatedly here if it's done isn't going to help any. It's best to make sure you practice self care and do the things you need to do today! Rather than getting stuck in the repeating cycle of this chat asking about it, which doesn't really go anywhere
Some people who have been invited in wave 2 weren't already in the discord. So it seems website signups are also involved
Time to start a 0 viewer twitch stream to be selected as an influencer
We must remember to drink water
It's actually insanely rare that i do not get into a Pre-Alpha, Early alpha, Alpha, Closed Beta, or W/e, This may be one of those times i don't get an invite XD!!!
am drinking strawberry slush
if only people read the entire announcement ;p
Yum
Lmao Its my day off and everything was done yesterday, I got nothing better to do 
Strawberry slush for the win!
it's because you like pickles
There are a lot of people who got the invite, and are still waiting on being given their role, too! They're very clearly still in the process of squaring things away. โค๏ธ
Haha, you're the first to ever say they liked it. Big ol' thanks though, from one nice name to another.
Your dang tootin i do
They did specifically state this in the announcement
If only people read anything in here...
You don't have to be in discord to get prealpha this round either
I'm mostly sure we will all get in during the alpha or beta stages. At worse it may be the ore launch stress test. From my brief time in this discord, I'm assured those who got in will try their best to ensure the game is what we hope it will be
Not everyone reads and I didnt want to be rude lol
I'm mostly sure we will all get in during the alpha or beta stages. At worse it may be the before launch stress test. From my brief time in this discord, I'm assured those who got in will try their best to ensure the game is what we hope it will be
i can't wait to get into palia to do the mythic cabbage farm raid
I'm more of a pictures kinda guy.
We love not being rude. Thanks for answering questions, Mushy. 
Hey your more than welcome to claim i did not read what i should have... and you would be correct, i don't have the time to do that with the dozens of discords, Apps, Emails, Projects, Ect i do on a daily basis so excuuuuuuse me ๐
but youre always rude :v
๐
not everyone uses discord
Alpha testing would be a time commitment...
I dont mind helping in anyway I can. I just try to be thoughtful too.
Exactly, And if i get into said Alpha, I make time.
TRUE
It's a good thing, too - to be thoughtful. โค๏ธ
Mushykins [meanie]
y u bully me ๐ฅบ
best to not mention whats in the email specifically
Whoa gunna be busy with ๐จโโ๏ธ
Being thoughtful is meaningful
@cold mesa we love u thank you for being helpful ๐ฅฐ
i got the invite when i signed up
tank you love ๐ฅบ
Huh?
but don't get angry if you are not in the pre alpha
for discord
Stress testing fishing to the limit
you didn't reply when I said good morning and I feel betrayed 
gotta see how much i can break
I'm here for it! ๐ฃ
i sorry bby. i miss things. never mean to ignore anyone ๐ญ
Is fishing even in yet? xD
Iโll stress test cooking/baking
yes
this is gonna be a stupid question, so apologies in advance.
was there a confimation email when we first signed up to join the alpha list?
probably not xD
dons fish fear me hat
I already love you all! I DON' CARE I'M CRAYZEH
Not a stupid question and no!
Question, will there be a economy/auction house that i can exploit to make millions
cause i just went through all my emails, and couldnt find which one i used to sign up with
Drink water @ everyone
I think theres a mistake maybe S6 entered my email wrong I didn't get an email yet ๐ข
I'll help
No confirmation mail was such a weird choice
god i hope so
Is this going to be like overcooked?
Itโs more likely the odds are against us rather then a oopsie
that is a topic of great debate .. but we haven't had any say either way .. one of those things we will see when we will see
that would be carnage!
Two people madly running around stress testing cooling
I'm going to make lovely jam for all of you and become the Jam Queen
oh no, don't burn what I fish up
I hope there's clothes making and stuff. Even though I barely notice fashion IRL, I love it in games.
Hopefully, one of my favorite things to do in wow is just to make money off the economy
yeah no confirmation email terrified me but as long as you keep using the email you originally signed up with it should be all good
I'm not sure thats how "stress testing" works :p
probably 
I actually can't remember which email address i used and i dont know if i can put 2 entries into the survey
Iโm so excited then
@long sundial I would love this! I hope so!
I spotted a dressform in the trailer. Hopefully it's not just decorative! We need our fashion for sure!
Well, I got an email from Slickdeals about Crocs, so that's almost as good eh ๐ฅฒ
Are they rainbow puke colored?
we're just running around screaming because something is burning everywhere
i would rather the ice cream honestly
I hope fashion crafting will allow truly custom outfits, but it'll probably just be premade items
I did not dignify it with opening ๐
Lots of screaming, Iโm ready. Iโll be on fire
can't imagine this game wouldn't have tmog
STOP DROP AND ROLL
I hope there are lots of dye colours involved!
I did see animal husbandry is a possibility for long term goal in the faq ๐
Our patience... oh, you're talking about cooking.
๐๐
Honestly, just allow people to choose RGB
๐งฏ
Nah Iโm just gonna spice up the kitchen with my fire
If it does I may have to rush that first, gotta look the fisherman part
I'm sure some percentage of the 92k on here signed up with multiple accounts. One of my pre teen kids already has 3 email addy's.
lol you're right too 
Maybe you can mix and match parts, like these sleeves with those buttons with that hood, etc.
I have multiple emails but I only used the only one I use daily, bummer if people used multiples 
I have over a dozen emails, doesn't mean you sign up for multiple accounts lol
someone probably did
you would need multiple discord accounts lol
depends how desparate for the alpha u are i guess
If they don't allow me to be the Jam Queen, I will have to apply my efforts elsewhere. Pastries will not be enough for me. I may venture into dye making (if that's an option).
I have multiple emails but just signed up on the main one I use.
its possible .. I have 5 email addresses .. but I only signed up on the one I use for this kind of stuff
Hopefully they can weed them out
that would be a lot of paragraphs for the question though, and if none of them are good, no amount of emails would save them :')
I hadn't even thought about that possibility till you mentioned it
Devs: please check your spam folder
Me: nothing from you. But I have a goddamn Genshin in there.
hi maya ๐
No one wants to know what my spam folder looks like
why do you guys have so many emails 
I probably can't make cosplay, but we'll see. Redhead Bowsette costume may just happen.
yeah I mean I have like 2 emails, one for stupid shit the other for work
my spam folder has been empty all day, very sus
I have one email with multiple aliases (that way I know who leaks my data when I get spam :P) so I don't necessarily know which one I used for Palia
Different purposes. Different names over the years
Work email, one for store spam, one thatโs encrypted with my own domain, and one for general every day things
The cat returns
also 18k unread messages
Plus even if my alias mail leaks in some database leak, means it isn't my username
eh so many of these things required u to sign up to their email, like google and live
Back when I tested Star Wars Galaxies I did sign up for beta on two accounts, got in on one. If one really wants to get in, they can increase their odds
heya 
My Spam Folder is the equivalent of the Spongebob Episode where they learn about "sentence enhancers"
That's normal. Usually they'll let you know when the server goes live.
My spam folder has a lot of things about growing things, maybe plants, not sure

I really hoped theyโd send an email like โyou werenโt chosen this time aroundโ, cause this way I know my email is on their systems, you know?
I would take a close look at the NDA
๐
Sorry!
rofl that would take even longer to do compared to sending one to those that did ๐
This would make me stop wondering if I typed my email in right!
Who got lucky then?
hey cat !!
unfortunately it seems that'd be way too much work for the bot. not only does it have to send an NDA and an acceptance to 1200+ people, but also 'im sorry' emails to thousands of others haha
hehe good one
Devs: and remember: No Paladins.
There are definitely bots who are able to do this, though.
They'd just have to use an actual mail sending provider
if subway can do it LOL
Makes sense! I know itโs probably impossible, but if it werenโt, Iโd think itโd make lots of people sleep better at night ๐
sure, but thats still quite a bit of work. itd be better for them to just send one confirmation when you apply
mailchimp
i kid
Never refreshed an email as much as I have today haha
Or enable you to receive your responses through the Google form
mail bots often you have to pay for the # of messages you are sending! so it would be expensive to send a ton of confirmation as well!
i dont think ive even seen the cat returns
at least not fully, and certainly not at an age where i could comprehend/remember it
soooo... with Nel posting the gif of the inn, is the villager vote over? I thought it was a tie 
You should change this
oh wow I'm actually tired, what the duck
Also, you're awesome @warm plover
Wholesome
no im not ๐
also yeah i should probably watch more ghibli
i think the only ones ive seen fully are wolf children and my neighbour totoro
Rin is awesome
stooooop ill blush ๐ณ
Kikiโs should def be on the list soon
also such art came out today!
See, thee's an agreement, you must accept.
i havent seen any ghibli :,)
It did! I alpha/betaโd it a while back and itโs exciting to see!
oh yeah i heard good things about kikis
Guys im done i go to eat BC of my sadness goodby
Yeah same, not even that much of a artsy person but still picking it up
How long does it normally take for someone who got the invite to get their discord tags updated?
Wolf Children isnโt Ghibli but all of the Ghibli Films are great. I suggest Princess Mononoke and Howls Moving Castle.
What's BC? And buhbye
anyone else not got there invite yet?
I'm surprised Rin isn't a indoctrinated Pre-alpha tester after the VC incident

I think it's manual so maybe a while
Beacuse
go to bed
how do chairs sleep
on 4 legs lol
We think that they're waiting until they're all done sending.
LOL
Did they give rolls yet for people in pre alpha?
also not yet, I gotta be sure I didn't get in
lets see..., not yet from 2nd wave
Gotcha, makes sense to me.
โบ๏ธ
This is actually a big reason why. I realized that Rin did this, and her awesome level grew three sizes that day.
They're doing this manually? Ouch
๐
we dont know
Rin is โheโ ๐
Someone has to tell the bot who's on the list
(this rin is a boy btw just letting you know)
Well, its been a long day- im gonna log off and de-stress. Have a good evening everyone
Rin is the best boi
You can say you got it
am not
Oh, pink is server booster, sorry. You are best boi
It might be a bot, but there probably sending them in batches to avoid spam where possible
Meow
If people don't reply to email by a certain time does it get passed to someone else? Like if someone did sign up with multiple accounts and forgot about it.
