Butchering knife my beloved
#turns out a lot of people don’t like this weapon- I dunno why I think it’s a solid weapon after the great axe buff#I know a lot of people compare it to earlier interations of it but as someone who played ER before DS I think it’s good in it’s own right#elden ring#elden ring pvp#elden ring clips#elden ring duels

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
#pun's text posts#Elden Ring#As much as I'd love to believe everybody'll be honorable and not cheat I've run into too many Veteran's Set Guys to believe they will lmao#Best case scenario we get some silly goofy dragonball z ass power scaling#Where one cast of Glintstone Pebble now summons every projectile in the game simultaneously#worst case scenario we get the return of that exploit thing that made fromsoft axe the multiplayer for DS1 2 and 3 that one time#I'm not super deep in the pvp scene tbh but anyone who is feel free to tell me what it's like#Pun's text Posts

You want a Ranged Job with whips? You want rope of leather with limited movement? You want a weapon with some kinda ehhhhhh ethics and history? NO. YOU WANT ROPE DART. Rope dart is part of a category of "soft weapons" in kung fu, but has since also been expanded upon by the Flow Arts community. There are numerous categories of soft weapons including "whips" like chain whip and 9-section whip (similar to what Victor Belmont uses) which function very differently from your traditional wrapped leather whip and are leagues cooler. The movement of these is far more fluid, and the attachment of a rope dart, meteor hammer, monkey paw, etc allows for not only the ability to stab your enemy while engaging in social distancing, but greater control of the weapon via the Science of Physics (tm). This allows for beautiful and fluid attack animations on par with DNC and SGE.
The Job with the most diverse weapons in game is MNK, featuring knuckles, fists, claws, tonfa, katar, deer-horn knives, and more. With a rope-dart ranged, there are equally endless possibilities for the stylization of both the tether (chain, rope, silks, sections, etc) and the attachment (ball, blade, point, claw, fire, a dead rat, idk whatever). Currently, the only MMO with a rope dart inspired class is Black Desert, with the gender-locked Lahn. DON'T SLEEP ON ROPE DART.
#like you could still aesthetically have 'whips' but with way more variety of movement and stylization#and without the weirdness in PvP or when fighting Humanoids#I'm hoping if we get BST it's more small axe based and not 'whip your animals to command them'#and that the next ranged is rope dart#If you use the kung fu influences it could easily fit into a Job from Yanxia or Nagxia#Any time I see the topic of new ranged Jobs come up rope dart is never mentioned and it's kind of frustrating because it's so much#cooler than standard leather whips on so many levels.#Idk maybe I should just annoy the community into pushing for this lol.#ffxiv#ff14#final fantasy xiv

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!
#moral of the story: stay away from high places#and Joel and Ren#and always assume Grian is up to something#life series#3rd life#last life#double life#overrainylyzed#I don't think I've ever analyzed something harder before in my life honestly#relevant rainy things

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*"
#she is at etho level with 'assumed mysterious badass that's actually a wet cat'#it's so funny#hermitcraft#3rd life#cleo#meraki post

Hermitcraft Guide: Transcript/accessible version
Hermitcraft is a vanilla style* multiplayer server that has been running in a season format since 2012. Each season, the players move to a new world and start anew, meaning now’s the perfect time to start watching!
The server is invite only, and new people can join only when the existing Hermits unanimously agree that they would be a good fit. The Hermits have regular meetings to discuss new ideas and any concerns.
I don’t recommend watching every episode by every Hermit. There’s shows like HermitCraft Recap to keep you up to date! Don’t feel obligated to watch everything, just have fun!
* the server is mostly unmodded, but in recent seasons, the Hermits have been implementing custom items and texture packs for the sake of storytelling
Individual hermit descriptions under the cut
Descriptions are all edited by myself, with some contributions from other people :)
Hermit: BdoubleO100
Quote: “Axe wielding maniac, that’s me!”
Flags: USA
Description: Bdubs is a master at using unconventional blocks in his highly detailed builds.
It’s a point of pride to always be the one to sleep and skip the night before the others can.
He’s often teased about his height despite not being the shortest Hermit.
Hermit: Cubfan135
Quote: “There is redstone back there… Basically, it does stuff.”
Flags: USA
Description: Cub is really good at basically every aspect of Minecraft, and always goes big in his projects. With Scar, he created a capitalistic empire and then decided he didn’t care for industry afterward, since he had already won. Cub then became a freeloading basement dweller. He enjoys confusing other people with strange antics.
Hermit: Docm77
Quote: “We will crush them with our redstone spaghetti”
Flags: Germany
Description: A bit of an intense guy, Doc is unafraid to play the scary villain. Don’t let that fool you – he’s a big softie. His Twitter is 50% “hey who wants to see the game-breaking death machine I built” and 50% about his adorable kid, nicknamed “Doccy”
His arm was canonically destroyed by the Minecraft dev Dinnerbone back in 2013.
[Desciption provided by anon]
Hermit: Ethoslab
Quote: “Xisuma is okay with pretty much everything I do if he doesn’t find out about it.”
Flags: Canada
Description: Etho is a Minecraft O.G. and the creator of many of the redstone designs that everyone uses. He’s a very dedicated player with an unconventional style, and the other Hermits are a bit obsessed with him. He’s your favourite YouTuber’s favourite YouTuber. And there’s a reason for that.
Hermit: FalseSymmetry
Quote: The Queen of Hearts, Heads and Body Parts
Flags: United Kingdom
Description: Very approachable and friendly, but has a reputation for her confidence in PVP. False works on very large, thematically strong builds. She was the first Minecraft Championship participant to achieve multiple consecutive wins.
Hermit: Geminitay
Quote: “How am I supposed to Live Laugh Love in these conditions!?”
Flags: Canada, Bisexual
Description: Gem is a talented builder with an appreciation of cute aesthetics that’s matched only by her thirst for blood. She’s truly earned the descriptor “Geminislay.”
She joined in season 8, and has effectively struck fear into the hearts of the other Hermits, particularly Etho, despite her wholesome personality.
Hermit: Grian
Quote: “Not everything I do has to start a war, okay? Sometimes I just want to start a society of sewer mole people.”
Flags: United Kingdom
Description: Grian always builds big and pranks bigger. He delights in nothing less than being a public nuisance. This starts (good-natured) wars within the server repeatedly.
He’s very social, but is basically glued to Mumbo and Scar. Infamously never bothers with the backs of his builds.
Hermit: Impulse SV
Quote: "I hate being bad at stuff!"
Flags: USA
Description: Impulse gets a reputation for being super nice all the time but he will hold a grudge forever.
He once moved his entire base up by one block because he thought it would make it look better (it did)
One season he ate crystals.
[Description provided by sudden-memory-loss]
Hermit: Hypnotizd
Quote: “And then I found an enderchest here, it’s got a lot of good stuff in it!”
Flags: USA
Description: Hypno's one of the more reserved Hermits, sticking to himself (+ bothering xB and Jevin). He's extremely laid-back and has a little bit of a deadpan silly sense of humor. He’s a very observant guy who builds geometric and rustic creations. His post-annotated runs of the minigame Decked Out 2 are great if you want to see someone actively break down how they play!
[Description provided by anon]
Hermit: Iskall85
Quote: “Let’s not end it on a goodbye, let’s end it on a Hallo”
Flags: Sweden
Description: A hardworking builder and redstone engineer. Loves making minigames, most of which revolve around gambling. Iskall is a dedicated hater of diorite blocks. Creator of the Vault Hunters modpack and server(s), which he has spent most his time playing recently.
Hermit: JoeHills
Quote: “Sufficiently advanced bothering-each-other is indistinguishable from teamwork”
Flags: USA
Description: Joe is a strange person, and his brand of absurdity cannot easily be put into words. He typically ends his videos with a poem or strange moral. Joe makes funny low energy videos, perfect for those who want to watch something laid-back.
Hermit: iJevin
Quote: “It’s actually pretty straightforward and almost easy. Sometimes.”
Flags: USA
Description: Unashamed. Just in general. A real hard worker who’s willing to destroy a massive project and start over. This commitment carries over into prank wars, which escalate to truly ludicrous heights.
Hermit: Keralis
Quote: “Let’s take the Black Death. I like the sound of that.”
Flags: Sweden, Poland
Description: Keralis favours modern, industrial-styled builds that carry the impression of wealth and prestige. His creations always have a strong sense of life to them. Keralis has a habit of referring to the others with silly nicknames such as “Shashwammy” and “Bubbles”,
Hermit: PearlescentMoon
Quote: “Yeah, I’m a little suspicious of myself to be honest.”
Flags: Australia
Description: Pearl is perhaps one of the best builders in all of MCYT. Her works are awe-inspiring in scale, but really shine in their details. A long-time friend of Grian, she joined HC in season 8 and fits right in, with a unique energy that’s full of fun. She is always up for a light bit of pranking or teasing, with unstoppable chaotic energy when she’s up at 5am for events.
[Description provided by cerealisafunbath and anon]
Hermit: Mumbo Jumbo
Quote: “If I forget, slap me. With a cold, vegan fishcake”
Flags: United Kingdom
Description: Mumbo is best known for his eccentric redstone creations. He’s sometimes too ambitious for his own good – his ideas blow up in his face at the worst possible moments. He’s got a lovable awkward energy and strange, extremely British mannerisms.
Hermit: GoodTimesWithScar
Quote: “A laugh is worth far more than a diamond.”
Flags: USA
Description: Scar’s building skills and storytelling will make believe in magic and want to see what he’ll do next. Scar can pull pranks and act the villain as good as anyone else on Hermitcraft, but no matter what role Scar is playing, you will have a good time. He’s banned from Canada, so he banned the nation of Canada from his theme park.
Scar IRL has a chronic disease that he’s very open about, and uses a wheelchair. Check out his day in the life videos!
[Description provided by anon]
Hermit: Rendog
Quote: “Have a lovely day warmbloods, I’m off to sharpen my bones.”
Flags: United Kingdom, South Africa
Description: Ren is the hermit most likely to jump in to some over-the-top storytelling, mixing it with his regular content for some impressive arcs. He’s played a lot of roles, from mind-controlled business tycoon to time travelling hippie.
Hermit: StressMonster101
Quote: “Come and chase me boys! I’m going to murder you!”
Flags: United Kingdom
Description: Stress is known for describing everything she loves as “gorgeous!” It’s definitely her catchphrase.
She uses a lot of pink and purple, and loves bright fantasy aesthetics. She’s closest with Iskall, who she will bother at every opportunity.
Hermit: Tango Tek
Quote: “Would I put a tu-tu on my Fifi? Come on!”
Flags: USA
Description: Tango is the creator of the in-Minecraft minigame Decked-Out, which everyone on the server is obsessed with. He’s a lover of all things dramatic and explosive. Tango is hungry for feedback and improvement, and values honesty about his work. World's best minigame creator and world's worst minigame player. Master of making strange noises.
[Desciption provided by sudden-memory-loss]
Hermit: VintageBeef
Quote: “I respectfully decline your creepy ways.”
Flags: Canada
Description: Beef is the most enthusiastic user of the mechanic that allows players to make massive builds into tiny map-based pixel art. He uses this for a lot of different purposes, from wallpaper to custom card games. It takes a lot of dedication, which he has in spades. He's oblivious in the best way possible. He’s walking in circles, he’s misplacing items, he’s having fun.
[Description provided by two anonymous contributors]
Hermit: WelsKnight
Quote: “I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is trading card games.”
Flags: USA
Description: As his name suggests, Wels (knight) has a strong interest in medieval aesthetics, which he uses heavily in his builds. He’s also recorded sea shanties. Former paralegal and court reporter for the US army.
Hermit: xBCrafted
Quote: “Awwww yeah!”
Flags: USA
Description: xB posts often, about two or three times a week. His videos always go over his thought process a lot more than anyone else. His builds have a strong focus on environmental storytelling.
Hermit: XisumaVoid
Quote: “I’ve got derp on the mind”
Flags: United Kingdom
Description: Xisuma tends to pick a theme for his big projects and always wears a matching costume. He describes himself as a big derp, and no one agrees on how to pronounce his name.
He doesn’t reset his episode number each season, so he’ll be starting season 10 with episode #1128! Xisuma is the server’s admin, which is a big responsibility without the powertrip due to the Hermits’ commitment to group decision making.
Hermit: ZombieCleo
Quote: "I'll break you legs"
Flags: United Kingdom, Bisexual. Cleo uses She/They pronouns, but I do not know if they identify as nonbinary.
Description: Cleo enjoys detail work, being the number-one user of the posable armour stand tweak, which she uses to make dioramas and statues. They have a rather dry, mature sense of humour. Formerly a schoolteacher. Cleo is close friends with Joe, and the two regularly stream activities such as crafting together
Hermit: Zedaph Plays
Quote: “Is this a bad idea? Yes. Am I gonna do it anyway? Yes.”
Flags: United Kingdom
Description: Focuses more on making his own fun than on traditional builds. Zedaph is the human embodiment of an explosion happening in another room and hearing someone yell out "it's fine!". A very polite and confusing mad scientist. He does the wildest things just because he can. His editing style is fun and creative, featuring stop-motion montages.
[Description provided by sudden-memory-loss and anon]
New hermits:
Hermit: Smallishbeans
Flags: United Kingdom
Description: Joel is a masterful builder and intimidating fighter. Has very sarcastic deadpan humour. He likes to bully everyone affectionately. Married to fellow MCYTber LDshadowlady (Lizzie)
Hermit: Skizzleman
Flags: USA
Description: Skizz is a beacon of positivity and energy. Strong dad energy. He and Impulse have been friends for more than 25 years. Forms a lot of acronym groups with the Hermits (ZITS, GIGS) and comes up with nicknames for everyone
_
In Loving Memory of
Hermit: Tinfoil Chef
Flags: USA
Description:
A beloved member of Hermitcraft since season 2, TFC passed in 2022.
“Five blocks at a time…
Punctuated with a torch…
Five more once again…
TinfoilChef worked at his own
speed, in his own way…
May we all remember him
in our own ways by striving…
to live unhurried by unwarranted comparisons to those around
and bring joy to others
making the art we want to create.”
[Poem by an anonymous Hermit, likely Joe]
Thank you for reading!

Okay real pvp civ spoilers time, me asking the real questions:
WHY TF CAN’T AXES BE IMMORTAL???
Like, I understand the netherite thing. It makes sense that only swords can achieve netherite immortality, since the other options are Bows, Shields, and Tridents, which can’t be upgraded to netherite (or at all)…
EXCEPT AXES CAN??? SO WTF. WHAT’S GOING ON HERE??? Surely it’s not an oversight… surely there’s something going on here… but what???
Also. My questions about the Shield Civilization are not only still here but actually there’s even MORE. Are they in EVERY civilization??? I love to imagine they got chased out of Axe Civilization due to well. If you know anything about PvP you would know why.
But like are the shields there for the same reason the other weapons are there? To farm the swords? And they’re just not hiding it like the others? I don’t understand mannnn. I don’t think the guard friend has any real idea that Everyone In The World Wants Swords Farmed. Unless he’s also secretly working with like Tabi. But I feel like if we’re supposed to be suspicious of him, there wouldn’t be that random part where Evbo talks to him and finds out he’s just starting his self discovery or whatever.
Last thing I want to say: “why is there a shield in his bed” was so funny

That ficlet of “How long can Helsknight and Wels go without wanting to maul each other to death” gives me the idea of like. Yknow that trope where two characters you assume have never met each other turn out in fact to be buddies who like play pool together or something. That’s Helsknight and XB. Wels gets shunted to Hels and finds XB just chillin in a bar with Hels and goes “WHAT THE FUCK BRO”
"Hels Kitchen, huh?" xB asked, looking up at the sign and raising a spined eyebrow. "This new?"
Helsknight shrugged, leading the way inside. "New enough."
xB sauntered behind him, taking in his surroundings with an easygoing smile. Hels was a little hot for his tastes, but he knew from experience he would get used to the heat after a few minutes. He watched Helsknight toss the bartender (who seemed to be just a very large, contained ghast) a handful of diamonds to cover their tab, and the two made their way to the pool table in the back of the little bar. xB swiped up a couple beers, snapped the cap off one with his teeth (those sharp guardian teeth were good for something after all) and set it down on the side of the table while Helsknight prepped the game.
"It's been a hot minute," xB observed, carefully checking over pool cues for one that wasn't bent. "Been busy busting heads in the Colosseum?"
Helsknight shrugged. "Nah. Mostly just caught up with life stuff. You know how it is."
xB, who had forgotten their meet up last month because he was busy digging a hole to bedrock, knew exactly how it was. "So you haven't been practicing pool while I've been gone?"
"I'll still beat you," Helsknight grinned challengingly. "Guests break."
xB snapped the cap off the second beer, took a drink, made a face that Helsknight laughed at, and then got to work aiming his shot. It was a good break, though the eight ball danced by one of the side pockets, a little too close for comfort. He got one of the striped balls in, and claimed the stripes for the rest of the game. He took his second shot, missed, and stepped aside for Helsknight.
Pool was such a weird game for them to settle on as their friendly competition. Helsknight was a pro at PvP, all things swords and axes and shields. But xB wasn't, and even if it was, swords was Helsknight's job, more or less, and xB could appreciate wanting to do something that wasn't your job, no matter how much you enjoyed it. It was for the same reason he was grateful Helsknight hadn't suggested they go build train cars when they hung out, or terraform movie scenes. He enjoyed it, but this was his off time. The first couple times they met up, they tried playing TCG, but Helsknight was a little too competitive, and xB got tired of debating rules minutiae (and being forced to stomp home and ask Beef a thousand questions). Then they played just normal cards, which lead to the discovery they both appreciated good beer, which lead to barhopping, because hels had bars. Hermitcraft didn't. And eventually, barhopping lead to playing pool, and pool was just the kind of low-stakes game they could both enjoy. Plus both Helsknight and xB were just prickly enough that most folks looking for a fight passed them over, and any who didn't, xB and Helsknight could solidly knock around. xB wasn't a PvPer, but he was big and thorny, and his sharp teeth were good for more than just popping bottle caps.
"You're up," Helsknight told him, leaning against the wall and chalking his pool cue.
"Does that really help?" xB asked, lining up his next shot. He cracked the cue ball into a bunch, breaking them apart. None of them sunk.
"No idea," Helsknight shrugged, putting the chalk back on the side of the pool table. "If it does, it's not in any way I can see."
"So why put it on?"
"That's all this game is good for. Knocking things around and getting chalk on your hands."
"It's also good for avoiding things," xB smirked. "Left the cue by the eight ball for you."
"Rude."
"Just keeping your life interesting."
Helsknight danced around the table, trying to find a good angle and making increasingly frustrated faces. xB smirked and took another sip of his beer, and then grimaced, because he forgot how bad it was. He needed to make sure he remembered this brand so they never got it again. Helsknight had just about lined up his shot when the lights in the already dimly lit bar space flickered ominously. xB raised a questioning eyebrow in the knight's direction.
"What was--"
"XB!" Welsknight came stumbling out of nowhere, all tin-can-armor-clatter. Stumbled into the pool table, shaking the eight ball into the side pocket.
"Hah! I win," xB grinned.
"You did not," Helsknight snapped, slamming his cue in the pool table. "That wasn't fair and you know it!"
"He's your other half dude. It counts."
Helsknight's eyes narrowed, and xB held up placating hands. (He forgot how much Hels and Wels hated each other sometimes. Really it was like watching brothers argue.)
"What in hels is going on?!" Welsknight demanded, re-injecting himself into the conversation. "xB, Hypno said you--"
"See, I told him not to tell you where I was," xB huffed, crossing his arms. "That was just rude of him."
"What are you even doing here?!"
"Playing pool," xB smiled, at about the same time Helsknight spat, "None of your damn business!"
The two knights glared at each other.
xB quietly wondered if he should interrupt their spat or egg them on.
The large ghast behind the bar counter hissed, grabbing all of their attention. It wafted a tentacle over to tap a sign, that said: Anyone caught fighting must buy a round for the bar, or be thrown out. xB looked back at Helsknight, watching him count first the other patrons in the bar, then the diamonds still left in his coin purse, do some mental math, and decide rather magnanimously that decking Welsknight wasn't worth it.
xB offered Welsknight a pool cue, "Care to join us?"
Welsknight eyed the pool cue like it was a snake, before begrudgingly taking it. xB went to get a new stick for himself while Helsknight begrudgingly reset the game.
It really was a good game when you wanted to avoid things.

Ok i think that the shield people were originally the lowest “race” of epople in pvp civ
Cause a shield is kinda a deffense item so it can be used with other items. U cant survive pvp with only a shielf. Also the shields dont have a statue in the diamond sword level.
The shields were also used by the other items like thw swords were, their memories were also erased. They were used to keep the swords in check.
So what i think happened is that the shields were also the inferior people and the swords, axes, bows, and tridents were equals. The shields were viewer as lesser and they were forced to work for the other items. The axes, bows, and tridents turned on the swords and farmed them and forced the shields into becoming guards.
Idk if this makes much sense but yeha thats just my theory 😭
(A FIIIILM THEORY)

See, one thing i found peculiar with the players who arent naturally born a Sword is that for some reason they're not bound to that rule of Always Holding Your Sword Or Else You Instantly Die ?
Why does it seem like the natural born Swords are the only ones who are bound by this rule? Are they seriously THAT low of the low that this would only affect them?
Tabi doesn't need to hold her axe. In fact, she can freely switch between the diamond sword, Eternal Sword, and her axe. And she didn't die.
Same with the player who speaks in pvp. He only switched to using the axe after PrinceZam revealed his weapon to Evbo. He didn't even drop an iron sword after he died, only the axe
PrinceZam threw his trident and just left. Unless the trident has Loyalty enchantment or whatever, or that he would return for his trident after he's sure that Evbo left the level, there was really not much of a reason for him to keep the trident. And i know i know, it's his kind's weapon and one of the ways to use it is to throw it, yeah, but he didn't die
Parrot obviously wasn't holding his bow. The one time it's shown that he does is only implied with an arrow being stuck. Evbo said that he didn't want to face him just yet, so Parrot is still alive
Evbo had to use his off hand to hold other things. He didn't let go of his sword, not even once
Like, are they allowed to not equip their Born weapon as long as it's in their inventory? Or is it fine only when they have the weapon of another civilization's in their hand?
Idk what to write for the closing here. But . Ihave thoughts about the new episode. i have many. Many thoughts
#pvp civilization#pvp civ spoilers#empty chattering#My eyes hurt and my brain feels sluggish rn i probably sound stupid if it turns out i forgot a plot detail that debunks this post#But. Lmk what you guys think i wanna hear your thoughts too
