The Selkie Has Entered Society 🤠

pretty huh

I want to talk about my opinion on the egg lives system cause I’ve seen a lot of people really upset by it and thought I’d just throw in my take.

Will start by saying I’m horribly biased because all my favourite eggs are dead. Anyways, pretty much everyone I see talk about this wants the egg lives system obliterated and I see where they are coming from but also I think this is a bad take. Egg deaths are apart of the storytelling of the server, most of the stakes would be gone without it. The eggs are npcs, they are a tool in the story and their purpose is to be protected, that would mean nothing if they could not die. Now this doesn't mean I think the egg life system is perfect there are definitely adjustments that could be made to improve it. I've seen a lot of people criticize the egg tasks/cookies and I think they are a fun thing that could maybe be used for something different (like the tickets instead of being for cookies could be to buy egg cosmetics) because it's a shitty way to see an egg lose a life. I also think it would be nice for creators if they had more of a say into what is and isn't a canon death for their kids (although this gets more complicated the more parents an egg has). I think a really good example for this is Juanaflippa (rip queen), I think Juanaflippa has died the most out of any egg (though only three were canon). Flippa's uncanon death was due to a plague of snakes that was unleashed upon her by god (I think Rubius was behind this?), then her canon deaths being: died of neglect, bed block broken, and finally she was slain by Mariana due to the sweeping edge glitch. Now most people when discussing Flippa's death focus on her sweeping edge death which is super tragic and it sucks that the glitch was discovered so late, but that's not what I wanna talk about, I want to discuss Flippa's most peculiar death, being the broken bed. Flippa is the only egg to lose a life in this way, but she is not the only egg this has happened to. Three eggs have had their beds broken by players, Chayanne, Leo, and Jaunaflippa and in all of these instances these were roleplayed as the eggs having been killed, so you may be asking "why was Flippa's death counted if the other two weren't?" And the answer is simple: the story. The other two dying didn’t benefit their parents story, but Charlie chose for that death to be real, he needed Juanaflippa to die for the story he was telling. If deaths worked more in this manor then roleplayers can still choose to tell these tragic stories and players who just want to hang out with their egg can. My other idea was a seasons method, where at the end of each season dead eggs would be revived, but I think I like the former better.

Okay thats my tangent congrats if you made it this far.
