Todays prompt was boogeyman! Hadn't drawn either of these sillies before so have this moment from Skizz's most unluckiest lifeseries episode ever

‼️Wild life episode 2 spoilers under the cut‼️

Maybe his most recent episode may be unluckier tho since he lost 3 lives there and only 2 in the limited life one

i just watched the pvp civilization movie and what the actual fuck???

we got fucking pvp jesus being dehumanized and treated as nothing but a lamb to the slaughter and he’s a teenager. he’s a literal child who just wanted friends.

and when tabi’s gone he kills them all. he could have fought back the whole time. he let himself get jailed and killed over and over again and tabi still betrayed him.

what the fuck man.

Oh shit Seamless Co-Op has invasions now, that's neat

I like that you can choose to turn them on or off though, that's a cool feature for the people who don't care for pvp

That said, the thing I am most worried but also excited for though is that Seamless Co-op doesn't have any kind of anticheat at all as far as I know, so I'm really curious as to how the "Everyone can cheat as much as they want" thing is gonna affect the meta lol

Did someone say COMPLETE DATA ANALYSIS OF ALL THE DEATHS IN THE LIFE SERIES? No? Well. I did it. Here are some neat graphs for you guys to look at so that you don’t have to deal with the gigantic spreadsheet I did!

Let’s start off with the big bad question: what gets people killed in this game, anyway?

Note that a CAUSE OF DEATH is not the same as a KILL. Cause of death is what pops up in the chat when someone dies (ex. PearlescentMoon was slain by Smallishbeans, BdoubleO100 fell from a high place). The cause of death does not always account for player responsibility (ex. TNT traps). Generally, a player is only considered to be someone’s cause of death if the death occurs through direct PvP combat. HOWEVER, responsibility for an indirect kill such as a trap still goes toward a player’s total kill count—for example, Joel has 14 kills overall, 10 of which are direct enough for him to be considered the actual cause of death. After all, axes don’t kill people without being swung by someone.

A few other whacky things about kill counts:

Self-inflicted deaths do not count toward a player’s kill count (ex. Grian doesn’t get a kill for jumping off Monopoly Mountain at the end of 3rd Life, Scott doesn’t get a kill for blowing himself up at the end of Double Life).

When it comes to Double Life, soulmates are considered to share their three lives. No distinction is made between Soulmate A's life and Soulmate B's life, and each death only counts as one kill (ex. Joel gets one kill for killing Scott with fireworks, even though that also killed Pearl (however, Pearl’s cause of death is still Joel, as her life is considered the same as Scott’s)).

Using the /kill command does not count toward your kill count. Grian.

With that cleared up, let’s look at kill counts.

By the skin of his teeth, Grian leads the pack in total kills. The top three you see on that graph are the only players who have a KDR (kill-to-death ratio) of more than 1—for you folks who are unfamiliar with those, a KDR of more than 1 means you kill other people more often than you die. Less than 1 means you die more often than you kill other people. Here are the highest and lowest KDRs in the series:

“What’s this?” I hear you say. “Jimmy Wet-Paper-Bag-of-a-Man Solidarity DOESN’T have the lowest KDR in the series?”

No. No, he does not, and it’s actually really funny you should ask.

Because of Last Life’s mechanic of life transferring, even players that have been in all three installments of the Life Series don’t have the same death count. Eight players died more than three times in Last Life. Another eight died exactly three times. And one player only died twice.

By virtue of starting on yellow and never receiving any extra lives in Last Life, Jimmy holds the record for fewest deaths in an installment of the Life Series with just two deaths in Last Life. He is the only player to ever die less than three times in a game. This means that although he has just one kill, he has fewer total deaths than BigB (who has died a very standard nine times), the only other player with one kill, so his KDR is higher. Congrats, Jimmy, you’re not last in everything. But you are still the only player without a PvP kill.

Speaking of PvP, it’s time to look at how people do that! Here’s a graph of the top five weapons that tend to land PvP kills the most in the series:

And now here’s weapon preferences by game:

[Double Life not depicted due to lack of PvP deaths—only 4 occurred, using a diamond axe, a diamond sword, fireworks, and an iron axe respectively.]

Despite 19 more deaths occurring in Last Life than 3rd Life, the two actually have the exact same amount of PvP kills (28). It’s interesting to note the strong preference for bows in 3rd Life, which was a much more warlike game and had several fairly formal battles where people fought from a distance. Last Life required an overall sneakier strategy, resulting in a higher use of traps. In combat, non-ranged weapons like swords and axes were generally preferred due to fights often starting in close proximity and without warning, courtesy of the Boogeyman curse. Comparatively, Double Life saw remarkably few PvP kills, likely due to each person being twice as accident-prone by virtue of being linked to another player—in fact, with a total of 12, accidents accounted for three times as many deaths as PvP in Double Life and overall for more than half (57%) of the deaths in the game.

As for individual player stats sheets, here’s an example of one of those:

If you want to see one of those for ALL 17 PLAYERS, you can go to this slideshow! More details about the stats can be found in the presentation notes of each slide. And, if you have a really specific question and want to get into the nitty gritty, feel free to send me an ask! Hope you guys enjoyed the data!

Kab and Derap both want to change Zam. Keep him from going evil. And it rubbed me the wrong way not because they're trying to decide his actions for him, and not even because they were wrong about him slipping, because he is slipping.

But that's-

Zam always has 6 reasons to do anything.

And pacifism, at the end of the day was about his own bloodlust and making up for the atrocities of the past. It was always meant to be temporary, he never said he would do it past s6, he even said so many times the first day that he would break in 2 weeks.

He did want to have no kills all season, and that was a reason to be pacifist too. And he was burnt out from pvp.

So if he decided to never kill: he had an out to never kill.

But if he decided he wanted to kill again: he had an out to kill.

Always his decision.

One of the core things about princezam if you watch any second of s4 is that zam fundamentally believes there are no heroes or villains on lifesteal. the base-line of everyone is to be morally grey.

If he "goes evil" or just starts killing that isn't a moral quandary, not in a way that someone should be able to comment about him being good or evil and that being a reason he pulls back. Vitalasy couldn't pull him back from the wormhole. Minute couldn't pull him back from being the joker. Mapicc is the only one who embraces him when he decides to do what this server was founded for.

Because the core of zam is the core of lifesteal. Kill people for hearts. It doesn't matter his public morality or his character, he will always, always go back to lifesteal.

Even season 3. Especially season 3.

At the end of season 3, after all that heroism, Spoke won. Got him to give up. Gave up trying to save the server. After Spoke banned himself on the hill Zam walked around the server without purpose. Trying to start a fight over the spawn trap at spawn, but also not wanting to fight them. He had no direction in the face of the apocalypse.

So he called Spoke up. He embraced this server exactly as it is. And he threw himself at Spoke with nothing more than a stone ax. again. and again. and again. until all his hearts were gone.

ZAM: "you did it! You won. You got me to give up. Congratulations Spoke” SPOKE: “Thank you Zam. I'm glad I did it”

And since then? He embraced the cycles. Killing and murder, more and more and more. First team awesome, then eclipse, then the wormhole, then the abyss, then the joker.

And now crashing back to pacifism. Back to who he was s3.

But it's just a cycle. And Kab and Derap don't understand that yet.

It was never meant to be forever.

I don't think we talk enough about Cleo. She's somehow fooled most of the server and the fandom that she's this badass pvp girlboss that'll eat your bones but as soon as you watch any of her videos she's like "hey guys :) gonna build some fun statues today, I sure hope nobody picks a fight with me because I'll lose and then cry *proceeds to miss an axe crit on an unmoving target at least three times*"

[rhymeswithchronic]

*shimmies up to the mic*

*gently taps on it*

*clears throat*

Episode 6 just solidified PvP Civ as being better then Parkour Civ

*runs away as fast as possible*

OKAY LISTEN I will literally commit war crimes for EMF, my scrungly, and Parkour God Evbo, but to be perfectly honest most of the things that make the characters so lovable is headcanon or fanon. Parkour Civ is loved for the story, the light hearted nature and humor, ~the yaoi potential~ and the messages

Episode 6 alone has just solidified almost the entire cast of PvP Civ as individual, thought out characters. Really, the only one in ParkCiv with that kind of thought was Seawatt, with his tragic motivations followed by his death.

Parrot and Tabi have become SO MUCH MORE interesting because of the reveals, and I think Tabi has just immediately become one of my favorites because she’s just so INTERESTING. Someone who is so determined to reach a goal that she doesn’t care if she kills people in her way, but who also consciously *did not permanently kill Evbo despite having the ability to do so*. There’s still SOMETHING there that caused her to use the axe instead of the Eternal Sword, and THAT is the part of her that I think is truly her.

She was talking to someone towards the beginning (our great Parkour Villain himself can’t wait for PvP Villain ClownPierce) but there was something off about their conversation. Clown suggests that she shouldn’t be the one to do this because she’s younger and she “doesn’t deserve to die yet”. Something about their plan does not end well for the one who has to carry it out. Tabi is doing something and possibly sacrificing herself in the process.

Now here’s the thing: Why did she kill Evbo at all?

It could be for the reason that is presented to us. Because she doesn’t care about him. Because he was a tool she used to get what she needed and she didn’t care what had to happen to him for her to get there. She only brought up the literal torture he suffered FOR HER as a way to manipulate him further into following her orders, and now he’s just an obstacle

But that *doesn’t make sense*

If he was just an obstacle, WHY did she let him respawn? We can assume she didn’t know that Prince Zam was waiting since if she wanted Evbo to be killed and not respawn, she easily could’ve done that herself. But she DIDNT. She actively chose to use her axe on him and let him respawn. She has to know that Evbo is going to come after her. She has to know that Evbos continued existence, especially as a Natural Born Sword, is detrimental to their plan. She knows this and she chose to use her axe anyway

That leaves us with the other possible reason:

Tabi did it to SAVE Evbo

Hear me out on this. Talking about her discussion with Clown, here’s how it goes:

“Let me be the one to do it. You have a longer life that I do, and you don’t deserve to die yet.”

“We’re all gonna die if we don’t get that sword, and you know I’m the only one good enough to get it.”

Clown suggests here that somehow, this plan will end up with someone dying. He is offering himself because she “has a longer life”, which could mean he’s older and has lower durability than her, or something else entirely, but that’s up in the air.

Tabi is SMART. She knows exactly what she’s doing and why. She knows that there’s a solid chance that she will die, but she’s willing to risk that for immortality. “We’re all gonna die”? Because of the other kingdoms?

Whatever it is, whatever she meant, she did not want Evbo as a part of this. She told him to move first. Attacking was not her first priority. She didn’t want to kill him, but she knew one thing:

Evbo could not go with her.

If she stayed true to her word, if she left together with Evbo, she knew he would want to stay with her. He would stay by her side no matter what. And she just couldn’t bare the idea of leading Evbo to his own death from their plan. Maybe she was hoping giving her the time to flee would allow the Diamond Swords to convince Evbo to not leave at all. Not like it would take much convincing (in her eyes) since he was already attached. Inside of the civilization is the safest place for someone as trusting and naive as him. She wanted to keep him safe, and if he came with her, the same thing that would kill her would end up killing him.

Tabi killed Evbo to save him I rest my case
