TRIGUN ULTIMATE OVERHAUL FEBRUARY 2024 UPDATE

OVERHAUL UPDATE 02/02/24 - New manga only server and more double page spreads.

Hey there, everyone!

After asking for help last update, we were able to find someone who could take over the job of compiling and translating sound effects. We are thankful for the people offering their help and those boosting our post with reblogs, helping in their own way by bringing attention to our post. We are excited to accept this new person into our team, as we are yet to fully get them introduced to the rest of the team.

~~

BIG NEWS: WE'LL BE OPENING A NEW DISCORD SERVER FOR MANGA ONLY CONTENT.

This server will be both for fans of the Trigun manga, and people who want to get into the manga. It can also help everyone with finding the physical copies of the manga and other manga merch, like the magazine or official Nightow art.

Beyond that, it will also work as a point for people to more directly interact with the Trigun Ultimate Overhaul team, for both receiving updates or asking questions. The cleaning process of the manga will also be regularly streamed for people to watch the magic happen, and how exactly that entire process looks like.

Furthermore, it will be a collaboration with the @trigunbookclub to have a centralized point for organizing events and event announcements. This puts Trigun Tumblr's two projects under one roof, but will an always open door to accept collaboration with even more projects in the future.

More specifics details about the server:

It will be a SFW server for both adults and minors

It will attempt to remain manga focused with no channels dedicated to discussing the two animes and the movie.

The link to the server will only be shared and should only be shared on Tumblr to keep the number of users to a reasonable level, but also to keep the atmosphere akin to what we're all hopefully familiar with.

Fanart channels will be made, and an option to share the art of others with the proper credit. We will have very artist friendly rules about feedback and sharing other people's art.

Server will be handled by people with experience in running servers, but potentially also by people wishing to try their hand at modding for the first time.

We will be posting the link to the server when it's ready some time next week! Keep an eye out!

~~

Lastly, we didn't give you any cleaned double page spreads last month, so we brought some really fine ones from Vol 5 this time around. Beware of manga spoilers!

~~

That's all for this update, look forward to interacting more with everyone in our new server!

SEE YOU GUYS NEXT MONTH!

[phicphight]

Hey folks, we'd like your opinions on the idea of Phic Phight being it's own server, instead of being part of the DP Fanfic server. We also have a google form so you guys can expand on your answer if you'd like, but also give us any general suggestions, comments or feedback related to the upcoming Phic Phight.

Under the readmore is just some detailed explanations as to why some of the changes.

What would happen if we made a Phic Phight server?

Phic Phight section of the DP fanfic server will be archived from general view. NOT DELETED. Archived. Six months will be given for people to collect what they want before it gets archived. However, you'd still be able to request temporary access at any time to look/get what you want/need.

Joining the discord will become mandatory for Phic Phight participants. You do not have to stay after Phic Phight, and you can be as active/inactive as you wish.

Better event organization information, since users will be pinged when prompts drop and any other important information. Everybody will get it at the same time.

Since it'd be it's own server, we'd be more willing to expand on and add specific features, channels and bots for Phic Phight events.

What if Phic Phight stayed within the DP Fanfic server?

Phic Phight participants will start taking on full responsibility for checking the Phic Phight tumblr in late March/early April for prompts. Mods will no longer be directly messaging them to people.

Related to the above, but no more extensions based on people not getting their prompts. Extensions will still be offered in situations such as mods releasing prompts late or other situations out of user/mod control that effects Phic Phight.

Not having to join yet another goddamn Danny Phantom discord server.

We will continue making updates and changes in-server as needed.

Google Form, if you'd like to expand on anything or just give general feedback

Why would discord membership be mandatory if we made our own server?

It makes it easier for the mods to coordinate everything and for users to communicate. We can more directly answer questions, clarify confusion, give everybody updates at the exact same time, dedicate our announcement spaces to only phic phight, etc. Users can better connect with their team as well and encourage each other.

A big part of Phic Phight is community, especially since more recent additions have made it a good idea to work with your team to help make sure all prompts are filled. Since we're currently attached to the fanfic server, it felt unfair to require membership, but as our own server, we would operate a bit more similarly to Invisobang. Specifically where we're encouraging more collaboration. We're writing phics for each other as well as for our own personal reasons.

What kind of changes would a Phic Phight server bring?

We'd be more willing to expand and add Phic Phight specific features as users and mods seem fit. Current ideas include:

More writing bots

More phic-phight specific channels to collaborate

Random number generators, so you can roll for a prompt or make decisions based on a randomized number

Hosting phic phight focused events, such as regular sprint nights

This is just the current thoughts, but we're open to more ideas within the google form!

This server would also, in general, make it a lot easier to get information strictly for Phic Phight.

Why are mods no longer going to be sending out prompts list? How will I get my prompts? Why no more extensions?

Phic Phight prompts and teams are always consistently released 2-3 days before April 1st, and Phic Phight always lasts the entire month of April. Meaning, you can expect prompts around March 31st at the LATEST. In recent years, they are always released both in the Fanfic server as well as our official tumblr. In the past, due to tumblr constantly changing how messaging works, general confusion and the amount of participants, it's become too difficult for mods to personally make sure everybody has their prompts list.

It wasn't too bad when we had 30 participants, but now we're often getting 100+ people. That's a lot of people to individually check got prompts. It's just becoming harder and harder to make sure everybody got their list, but since we consistently release them around the same time, we decided that regardless of whether we make a new server or not, it's now going to be YOUR responsibility to check for prompts around March 31st.

Having a server means that we'd just be @ everybody-ing when they drop, versus not having a server, where they will still be posted and pinged role, as well as tumblr. Regardless of whether we make a server or not, we will still post the prompts list to tumblr and have it pinned for easy viewing.

Related, we have extended deadlines if a lot of people did not get their prompts, due to the above mentioned tumblr problem. This change would mean that we basically will not be doing event-wide extensions anymore based on tumblr users getting prompts late, which had been a semi-common past problem. We will still offer extensions in events such as mods releasing prompts late or similar situations

joining the discord server is your safest bet for the fastest updates and you have access to mods 24/7 depending on timezones!

no ai allowed at all.

check-ins are by default opted in, but they aren't compulsory bc projects/work can suddenly come up, so just dm a mod saying you'll be skipping them and you'll be okay! not messaging = a strike, and you'll be removed after 2 strikes.

mod applications

There must be a minimum of 2 writer and artist mods. 

Since this is more casual, mods will overall share duties, including design and compiling. 

Mods are free to introduce new rules as and when needed, however, they must inform the other mods in the mods-only channel. 

writer applications

Writers must submit 1-2 pieces of fic between 700-2000 words each. 

no x readers or yume/ oc ships should be featured, though if you're involving yuu in this from a non-romantic angle, that is completely fine!

While the check-ins are optional, please note that by default, you are expected to check-in so that the mods are aware of your work. 

Check-in expectations:

Check-in #1: 200-300 words minimum, no max limit

Check-in #2: 600-800 words minimum, no max limit

Check-in #3: 1000-1200 words minimum, no max limit (does not apply if your fic is 700-800 words long).

If you’ve finished, please submit your work in the final submissions channel. 

artist applications

Artists must submit 1-2 pieces of art in these px only: 

A4 portrait: 2480 x 3508 px

A3 spread: 4960 x 3508 px

Check-in expectations:

Check-in #1: basic sketch, a little bit of lineart

Check-in #2: some colours and shading

Check-in #3: more shading and some rendering

If you’ve finished, please submit your work in the final submissions channel. 

merch creator applications

Merch creators are expected to create any number of, but a minimum of 1 set (3/6/9/12, etc. for the savanaclaw bois) of any of the following + any extra ideas they have! 

Merch artists are encouraged to check-in regularly, so that the mods are aware of the work being done. 

digital photocards that people can print out at home if they have a printer

discord emotes pack (about 30 emotes)

widgets pack (one for each character and/or for the dorm)

phone and desktop wallpapers (can be part of the widget pack, can be separate)

digital postcards (if they fit with the fics that would be so cool)

recipe cards from their hometowns

a bunch of 4koma bookmarks that reference collabs or themes seen in the volume.

QUOTEV UPDATE

I'm honestly really proud of the q community people have come together and are working on alternatives, so for those of you who are wondering in general what's going on, here's a little rundown of discord servers quotevians have created, what happened, and what's next.

What Happened?

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Q mods are going to change their decision to remove the group, feed and message functions. These changes will come into effect July 1st, so there is time to archive and save what you need to.

There is a lot of discourse and theories going around as to what caused this, a common one is that a user threatened to attack the white house, and caused the feed to go down, but Q mods have confirmed that the changes have been in the works for months.

Why are these changes being made? No one really knows why the Q mods are making this decision, from the official news statement on Quotev, it said the group, feed and message features are being removed due to no one using them, but I'm calling bullshit because the vast majority of it's active userbase was either on there to socialise and roleplay.

According to the Q update announcement, there will soon be the option to download groups and messages, however the mods have not given us an exact date as to when this feature will be available, so if you have stuff to save, start doing so now.

What's Next

For the time being, many Q users are beginning to save and archive roleplays, messages, plots, ect. There are a few sites they're doing this on.

Discord

Discord has many features that make it convenient to save work, however on discord only text can be saved. If you are going to use discord to save, I would suggest creating your own personal server, and sorting stuff into different categories, and then placing things relavent to each category in channels.

Tumblr

Tumblr users are allowed to have various blogs which makes it a good option for anyone looking to preserve things like roleplay groups. However to my understanding there are daily post and blog limits, which might drastically slow down the archiving process. If you are going with tumblr as your option, then you are permitted up to 10 secondary blogs per day, and 250 posts per day per blog. Creating a blog is as simple as going to accounts and clicking the new blog option.

Google Docs

For those of us who roleplay on Q, this update is going to hit particularly hard. There hasn't been any official confirmation of journals being removed, however I and many other Quotevians are not trusting the mods, and are backing up journals. Google Docs is the best place to do this if you want to maintain any aesthetic layouts. Whilst it won't accommodate every layout, it does provide an easy and quick space to save journals. If you have a google account then docs should be available to you.

Archiving aside, there are talented Q users looking into creating a website similar to Q, which may be where Q survivors will migrate to. I don't know when the site will be up as of now, but I will post updates when they are available.

Discord Servers

If you were on when the first plane hit then you would have seen the link I posted to the initial survivours group. Since then various servers have been created, so here's a rundown of them and the links to join.

Luneris

This is where the Q user who is looking into creating an alternative site is taking suggestions. I believe it's the largest server so far. On it there will be updates and there are many Q survivours congregating together. https://discord.gg/U6spt44E

Quotev Hub

This is the server that Q users on discord are using as a makeshift Quotev. It's basically the Discord Quotev server. It's the largest Q server I've found. https://discord.gg/ZJFDNE67

Quotev Survivors

This is the original server I shared. It's gained quite a few members and is being set up as another Discord Quotev. https://discord.gg/5qK7REz2

Qcord

This is one of the smaller servers, but I'm including it incase you want to make sure you're in every server like I am. https://discord.gg/SbYkaD4D

Quotev Roleplayers

This is where roleplayers are gathering. If you want to advertise roleplays or discuss them, I would go here since it's aimed for that purpose in particular. https://discord.gg/jNp9D9Ma

That's all the updates I have for now. I know alot of us are freaking out and panicking, but just know you're not alone, and us Quotevians are going to get through this together.

Rest in Piss, Quotev (2010 - 2024)

[deadbangdetectives]

Rules and FAQ

What is this event?

A challenge for authors and artists to come together and create Dead Boy Detectives fanworks! Authors will write one complete fic which has not been previously posted, and artists will create at least one piece of art for the fic that they claim. Completed works can either be posted on AO3 to the event collection, or Tumblr, or both, in addition to wherever else you desire.

What's the difference between the Big Bang and the Mini Bang?

Each challenge has different requirements. Participants may choose to take part in either one. For authors, the Big Bang has a minimum word count of 20k, while the Mini Bang has a minimum word count of 5k. For artists, the Big Bang has a minimum requirement of:

two pieces of art in a medium of your choice OR

one piece of art and one promotional piece (for example, a banner for a post, or a crop of your art as a teaser, etc.)

While the Mini Bang has a minimum requirement of:

one piece of art in a medium of your choice.

Are there any content restrictions?

Any rating is allowed. All fics must have archive warnings tagged. Only participants who are 18+ may work on explicit fic or art. Any use of generative AI in the event will result in participants being banned from the challenge.

How do sign-ups work?

On the day sign-ups open, there will be two separate Google forms posted, one for artists and one for writers. Authors should have their fic concept in mind to submit their sign-up, as that information will be used for claims. Participants are required to sign up using an email address that they check regularly, since all important information about the challenge will be communicated via email.

What happens if I drop out?

If you drop out before claims, there will be no penalty. If you miss more than one check-in, or if you inform a mod that you will be dropping out, you will be removed from the challenge and a pinch hitter will take your place. You may not rejoin the same round of the challenge after dropping out.

What pairings/characters can I include in my fic?

You may include any characters and any pairings.

Can I talk about what I’m creating for the challenge?

You may not publicly discuss your fic or idea until after claims have been completed. There will be channels available in the Discord server private to writers, where you may discuss your fic. After claims, you will be expected to share and collaborate with your assigned artist. At that time, you are free to discuss your work at will, although any previews of fic or art must be either confined to the Discord server or otherwise private, such as in DMs.

Does my fic have to be betaed?

No. We encourage but do not require works to be betaed. You may use a beta you already have, or if you need help finding a beta, feel free to ask in the Discord server by pinging the beta role.

What kind of art can I make?

We allow art of any medium, including but not limited to digital art, traditional art, manips, edits, fanvids, fibercraft, physical art (such as sculptures, paper art, etc.), moodboards, and playlists. Artists of any skill level are allowed to join the challenge. Any use of generative AI in the event will result in participants being banned from the challenge.

Do I have to join the Discord?

No, but it is strongly encouraged that you do. Creating an account is free. Real-time updates will be announced there first, and you can chat with your fellow creators and mods. All important information will also be sent via email. You must have an email account which you check regularly to participate in this challenge. 

I have another question.

Send us an ask, or email us at dbdabangmods [AT] gmail.com, or contact handwrittenhello on Discord.

I’ll be going through the previous season’s One v. One channels to clean out and refresh a few channels to keep (for mostly myself) the server organized come Applications and the new season in later summer.

Updates on FAQs // Rules

In the previous season’s feedback form, I had multiple people mention a few suggestions. I cleaned up specifics in the Requests section, regarding who is considered an Akatsuki member; prompts also must be more specific in order to provide better support to the gift creators! You can read the edits here.

Summary of feedback from the ‘24 - ‘25 season

I have compiled the thoughts and suggestions that will evolve for the AGE ‘25 - ‘26 season! Please click right here to read in more detail.

Hello! I love your videos and am so excited to start the new challenge you made myself! I was just wondering if you are ever going to upload again? No pressure, I just really enjoy your content and have even been binging it lately, lol. Also, are you ever going to make an updated mod list? Hope you are having a good day and can't wait to see what you post next! ❤️

Hi! The feedback I'm getting from the challenge has been super positive so far and it makes me so happy 💗🤗 Thank you so much!

I think if I were to come back, it would be to update my mod list, and only that. And I've been trying to update it, it's just that by the time I get it done, a new pack is announced, or there's an update 😩 Maybe it's just lack of time, but it feels like we're getting a lot more game updates now and I can't keep up. (At this point I feel like I'm just gonna share a link to my updated mod list on my resources page and call it done)

Ever since I got this job, 5 years ago, it has been a constant struggle to find free time. It got worse last year, when I started working 6 days a week, but now that my mom is not doing well and needs my help, it's impossible. I have almost no free time, and the time I have I use it to catch up on my sleep. I don't have a life anymore.

And it sucks, cause I really enjoyed recording videos, editing, making thumbnails,... but it takes up too much time, and as long as I'm stuck in this infernal schedule, I can't be consistent with my content, and my channel will never grow. I can't bear to let people down anymore ☹️

[jayvikbigbang]

Just read through the guidebook and I just wanted to clarify two things. First the smaller question: I may have missed where this was mentioned in the guidebook, but will artists be allowed to sign up for multiple fics? The second beefier question: I know it says writers and artists are not required to share all work in progresses but will writers be expected to give outlines or a small excerpts to their writers to work off of? I've run into issues in the past both as a participant and a mod where even though artists were spoken with, they weren't given any material to properly create a piece to go with the fic until late in the game if they did at all. Its a rare occurrence, I've only seen it happen twice, but it put a lot of undue stress on all the artists involved.

Yes they will! It is under the "What is a bang?" section. Artists have more flexibility in their sign-ups: up to two (2) ideas for the reverse bang and/or any number of traditional bang pieces that they feel they are reasonably able to accomplish (keeping in mind the minimum requirements for both). Artists can do both, but we do not want them to overdo themselves, so we ask to know your limit.

So what will happen is when your groups are announced you, your writer, and beta (if chosen) will get your own channel in the discord server. This is where all three of you will communicate. We expect the writers and artists to communicate with each other throughout the whole process and show updates when possible that way everyone is working together. We will have it to where writers will need to have the outline and working document pinned in the channel. I have been a writer for bangs in the past and I did this for my group. Plus I value communication in groups.

Hopefully, that answered your beefier question. If you need more clarification always ask!

Deaderpool’s Discord Ban Appeals (updated)

Banned from Deaderpool’s Discord? Here's what you need to know! Deaderpool is the Creator of MCCC, and I believe that is a large enough project for him to maintain. I’ve administered his Discord server since its beginning, almost seven years ago.

Deaderpool is not a server Admin, and he has NOTHING to do with bans, or appeals. The Support Team handles all of that, ON DISCORD. You’re wasting your time, and his, and ours, if you’re trying to get around me and the team by contacting him (or us) on other platforms such as Patreon, Tumblr, Twitter, etc.

The only place to find support for MC Command Center is on Discord.

When you join Deaderpool’s Discord, we advise, and expect, you to read our #server-info channel as part of your “Verify for Support” process, which is outlined in the server’s START HERE! section. We have this membership requirement included in SEVERAL of the first pages/areas you see, even before you join the server properly.

We even ask you in most of our announcement posts to please review #server-info, BEFORE you approach us in support. We can easily tell who has not done so, by the nature of the questions you ask, and the files you drop, among other things.

That we will ban players for either leaving the server to remove certain roles or for having certain types of NSFW mods is CLEARLY documented, in #server-info. It is YOUR responsibility to know what mods and custom content you have in your game, and it is up to you to not show us anything that we tell you we can ban you for having… because I assure you, we will do it, to ensure our team's safety and well-being.

Other ban reasons include: Being rude or impatient with our volunteer support staff Not listening to or following our directions Trolling …and so on.

Ban appeals are handled ON DISCORD ONLY, so we can gather the proper information from you, related to the account(s) you are asking us to unban.

We’re doing you a favor by spending the time it takes to interpret your errors for you. Treating us badly is not a good idea. We’re not going to allow you to remain on the server if you can’t be reasonable and treat us with respect… and this includes being willing to read and follow our rules.

If you are not banned, expecting individual support via DM is unreasonable, on a server hosting over 85,000+ people. Server Info is the equivalent of a website’s FAQ section, it is there to bring you up to speed quickly on several major points of interest and information you will need, to ensure everyone has the best possible experience when you visit us for support, or for any other objective.

For appealing a Ban from Deaderpool’s Discord, please contact ONE of the following people via Discord direct message (DM):

Patch Update v1.114.46 - April 29, 2025

Happy Patch Day Everyone!!

EA released a patch today in anticipation of the 3 new kits that are set to launch in May - Golden Years, Restoration Workshop and Kitchen Clutter - in addition, a very full laundry list of bug fixes!

BACKUP ALL YOUR SAVES AND REMOVE YOUR MODS (THIS INCLUDES CUSTOM CONTENT) UNTIL CREATORS HAVE CONFIRMED UPDATES OR CLEARED FOR THE PATCH.

! UPDATE YOUR GAME !  You can delay your patch by turning off automatic updates and putting the EA App offline until your favorite mods are confirmed as working or updated. We will, however, only support Version 1.113.297 of the game for up to a week to allow mod creators time to update their mods accordingly. After that, we will insist that you update to Version 1.114.46 for further support.

Please be sure you are following the proper troubleshooting steps via this support link in Zerbu’s #announcement Channel:

Any issues regarding mod breakage should be posted in the #mod-support channel for Zerbu’s general mods and the #mod-constructor-support channel for MC4/MC5. Be sure to post in the right channel to avoid any confusion or miscommunication among the support staff. We also ask that you do not double post in the support channels in hopes that your inquiry will be responded to more quickly - this will only cause more delays.

If you do find any issues that have not been reported in the #announcements channel on Zerbu's Discord, you can report them in this thread: Patch Update Report - Patch v1.114.46 - April 29, 2025.

A Notice On Aleph One, And The Marathon Community

I'd normally wouldn't exactly be sharing this kind of content, but seeing as Marathon is my Number One Spot of Brainrot, and most people who have played these games in recent years are likely just on Tumblr/Twitter/their own Discord servers and not the official Aleph One Discord, the following events are basically unknown to the majority of people. So, to better archive them than to let them get lost in time.

Firstly, I should establish the main players of for the redaction:

Aaron Freed: co-director & one of many composers and general maker of Stuff for Eternal, composer and level designer for the (as of writing this) the in-works Tempus Irae Redux, alongside his work on the currently still unreleased Chronicles and Where Monsters Are In Dreams, owner of the Marathon Vidmaster Challenge Youtube channel and dozens of compositions, Marathon-related or otherwise. He is, likely alongside Adminn_1 (aka NEFX) andn Hamish (owner of the Marathon Story Page), one of the most prolific creators for Marathon.

Gregory Smith, aka Treellama: the head programmer for the Aleph One project, as well as maker of Weland (map creator), ShapeFusion (modification of logic and physics files for Marathon) and Atque (a merger and splitter for Marathon scenarios). His work, overall, has helped the community a great deal, from modernised modding tools to supporting Aleph One and expanding the Marathon engine with every update.

Solra Bizna (or just Solra): another developer for Aleph One, most notable for having helped create a proof-of-concept code to showcase how Aleph One could run at 60FPS and more, which would eventually be expanded to the current FPS settings that Aleph One now has. He has also worked on a variety of parts of Aleph One, such as Lua overlays and netscripts, all important to current functions for modern Marathon scenarios.

So, What Happened?

On the 29th of May, Solra publicly announced his departure of the Marathon Discord server, explaining that due to unexplained blockage from the Aleph One team towards Aaron's PR (pull request; a way of proposing changes made made in a fork of the original source code that could be added to the original code), with no real explanation given beyond that "treellama finds [Aaron] irritating", he feels his energy put on fixing this have been wasted, and retires to work on his lonesome.

While some buzz would be made from this departure, nothing of note would be said until the 4th of June, where Aaron would expand on the details of the situation.

This thread, still available in the Marathon Discord, would go on details about events that led to Solra leaving. In short: Aaron had been under Solra's tutelage on programming (something that has been public as around 2022-2023), with the idea that, as she explained in his departure, he would contribute in his stead and give Aaron a chance to contribute to one of his greatest contributions. However, attempts to do such a thing would be stopped by the AO team with no real reason, and any attempts to gain an understanding as to why would be stonewalled. The only real reason given is, according to treellama in a ticket request, "unresolvable personality conflicts".

Alongside this, Aaron himself would bring up a few notes in relation to Aleph One, one of which is the very reason I'm writing this post (outside of the conclusion at the end):

For context in regards to the reaction: INTERPOLATED_WORLD.cpp is what currently allows Marathon to run at FPSes higher than 20. Aaron's reaction come specifically from the (still current as of me writing this) credits of the file, which note very specifically at the start Gregory Smith (treellama). The issue raised here by Aaron is that that code was originally started by Solra as a proof-of-concept (which can be visualised here), which would then be reiterated by Treellama throughout—something he tries to use as a sort of gotcha on Aaron, as he shows that, at most, only 15-to-40 lines of code, or 17% of it, is still Solra's.

I'm unable to find when exactly the credits were added as I suck working with Github, but if a smarter person can find it, I'll be holy appreciative.

Now, to interject with my own opinion on this: no matter if there's one line, three or half in the current code that are still part of the proof-of-concept, Solra should still be correctly credited; that, or use the generic "Credits: Aleph One Team". The immediate use of Treellama's real name makes it seem to anyone who doesn't know any better that he himself made it in collaboration with the AO team, which is objectively not true. He did try and present a solution to this, which just amounted to "if Solra is bothered by this, he should reach out", which is absolutely not what should happen. Properly crediting people, no matter in what way, should be done automatically, instead of awaiting for someone to make a fuss about it. It makes you look like you don't actually care to fix things or change them. Just do it. No need to pull out statistics of how much is yours vs. Solra's. It's a waste of time.

Sadly, this is the last post made in the thread before the moderators closed it down. After this, Aaron would more or less abandon all activity in the Discord server, still working on other projects such as TIR, and is now used by other high profile creators like cassis (Liver and Onions), hypersleep (Apotheosis X) and Ryoko (Phoenix), who all shared their own sets of issues with Aaron on the thread, as a punching bag quite publicly on the Marathon Discord server.

So, What's There To Do Now?

In the most immediate, wait for the proper launch of Aleph Bet (link here), a fork of Aleph One which Aaron, Solra and a few others are working on, and show your support by downloading it. Use death of the author if you wish on ApoX and Phoenix, or never play them, or whatever. Do what you feel is necessary to show your discontent towards this behaviour from the lead developer for Aleph One. But don't cross the boundaries of insults or death threats. That is unnecessary and entirely stupid. Be better than that.

Owning a species is a lot of responsibility and a lot of work. I understand Tycho when he doesn't want or can't solve problems publicly and tries to avoid them, because I think I'm not a conflict person either. Nevertheless, I judge from my vantage point (as a species owner) like everyone else here.

I have a different kind of complaint. As a species owner you have full authority over traits, lore and all. However, the traits have not been updated, the site has not been updated, no new expansions have been added or links changed or any other changes. The most popular and prominent items have been drawn by other artists, lore is also written by other people, guides are drawn by other people, questions are answered by other people, designs are approved by other people, tradings on the site is approved by other people, problems and conflicts are solved by other people.

What other than a new subspecies (the idea of which is stolen from the already existing synthetic Terras) was done by Tycho. I think the subspecies was at least approved by tycho , so I just assume it's his subspecies.

I've only seen Tycho in chats and in the announcement channel. I understand that he's probably doing the organizing work, but it seems like he just keeps being the admin and not the owner

post related

this is a really interesting critique to make, and i agree. tycho seems to really not like being the owner, based off how EVERYTHING is deferred to other mods. it would probably just be in his and everyone else's best interest to drop it

Drizzle Season 2023 Trailer Breakdown!

Hey everyone! So we finally got a new trailer for Drizzle Season 2023 (and before y'all ask there was no Side Order in the trailer, unfortunately...) and damn this season's looking fresh! Anyways, here's my breakdown of the trailer (including some news that wasn't in the trailer!)

New splatband inkoming! In the trailer we get a preview of a new song called "Ripstop and Go" by a new splatband called H2Whoa!

New stage #1: Crableg Capital!

New weapon type #1: the Dread Wringer, a new slosher that shoots two slosher projectiles at once!

Also it appears that we're finally getting a second kit for the Tri-Stringer!

New stage #2: Shipshape Cargo Co. (suprisingly we aren't getting a returning stage... or are we...?)

New weapon type #2: Heavy Edit Splatling. Not too sure what this new splatling's gimick is, though.

GOLD DYNAMO IS FINALLY BEING ADDED TO THE GAME.

You can flip hats backwards now

Salmonid Smokeyard is coming back to Salmon Run!

We're getting new, interesting worksuits for Salmon Run as well!

Tableturf Battle cards reveal other returning weapons such as Goo Tuber Deco, a new Sloshing Machine (most likely Sloshing Machine Neo), Octobrush Nouveau, Bloblober Deco, Ballpoint Splatling Nouveau, and a new vanilla brella (most likely a sorella).

New king salmonid Tableturf Battle cards (if only we actually got a new king salmonid instead of just cards)

New challenges include Inkjets for Everyone (Too Many Trizookas but with inkjets), Swim It to Win It (not too sure what the gimick to this challange is), and Modded Rainmaker Test-Fire (where the rainmaker has 3 shots instead of one).

And that's all I could get from the trailer. Anyways here's some news that we DIDN'T get with the trailer!

Next splatfest will be held next month from the 8th to the 10th, celebrating S3's first anniversary! The theme? Well, hold onto your tentacles everyone because the next splatfest theme is.... Who would be the best leader? Shiver v Frye v Big Man! Basically we're getting a repeat of the S1 final splatfest, Callie v Marie, but without the change of one of Deep Cut's members getting squidnapped!

Not only will we be getting a splatfest next month, before the fest we'll be having a big run starting from September 1st to the 3rd! The stage hasn't been announced yet, but I will post an update once we get more news about the big run!

We're getting Deep Cut badges! These badges can be earned by playing 10x battles! And if you can't win a 10x battle or can't make it this splatfest, you can win them in other splatfests!

Speaking of banner decor, everyone will be able to recieve Deep Cut banners via Splatoon 3's news channel on the switch starting the begining of Drizzle Season 2023!

And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for... NEW DEEP CUT AMIIBOS WILL BE RELEASING NOVEMBER 17TH! We don't know what gear we'll be getting just yet, but hey! They're here!

And that's all the news about the update we have so far! Of course we're still going to get more news on Twitter (I'll never refer to the site as X! NEVER!), so I'll post more about the update if something signifigcant is posted. Staaay fresh, everyone!
