Worst Life Series Base Semi Finals

Disclaimer, all builds came from nominations. Worst here is determined by a combination of being ugly and being bad at being a base.

Pearl’s Mound + Tower

Propaganda:

"Pearl's secret life base was basically a dirt shack with a death trap in the basement and a penis on top.

"#why this shape and color scheme pear!"

"#love pearl but that tower... #WHAT is that shape and color scheme pearl 💔"

"#What was in the water in secret life"

"#look Pearl's mound was fine when it was just a mound #it was cute and it was what made her a mounder and that's where the trap door party happened! #but the tower absolutely ruined it"

"#pearl built a penis#she just did that#straight women only think of one thing smh/j/j/j/j"

"Pearl's build is just uncomfortably phalic."

“The tower was both phalic and dangerous! That’s a double whammy thats gotta win!”

“#really tough choice. i think i have to go with pearl's because it was visible everywhere #she really inflicted that on the whole server huh”

Etho’s Wool Fort

Propaganda:

"ETHO'S 3RD LIFE WOOL CASTLE. THAT PLACE WAS BURNED DOWN SO MANY TIMES"

"#wool fort all the way#rhat thing was an EYESORE"

"#wool fort is soooo ugly im sorry"

"Making it out of wool was not an inspired choice"

"If you need a reason to vote, look at the lava walls.

Are they aesthetically pleasing? No. Do they force people to approach from the front? No, players can swim underneath. Do they remind arsonists of options for destroying a base that would burn down in minutes? Yes, absolutely. Expanding this base could cause it to go up in flames."

Skizzle Point

Propaganda:

(image submitted as propaganda)

"It was second place last year, and it's so ugly. Like So Ugly."

"#buddy buddeh thats not a good base. theres no good escape route from the house. cant even go down"

"I'm sorry Skizz Point. You were lovely on the inside and high effort and very safe. You also were called a work in progress by your creator and look like you were made in super flat and dropped unceremoniously into a death game. Perhaps, in another universe, we could have had the red glass cone"

"Yeah, that picture is pretty effective propaganda"

"#i need skizz point to win its so ugly why is the point just. a triangle. its not even like a puramid#and the ground around it aint even stable its so funny"

“#every single time i see skizzlepoint i think 'oh it's not that bad' #and then i see the platform.”

Etho’s Shack

Propaganda:

"It's official, Etho likes delicate walls and hates roofs."

"Etho's Shack from Secret Life. Specifically, the first iteration. Gravel walls, no windows, a sheep pit. What more could a man want? That's right. An outdoor bed shrine."

"#pearl built a penis#she just did that#straight women only think of one thing smh/j/j/j/j"

"Pearl’s build is just uncomfortably phalic."

BigB's Face

Propaganda:

"nominating bigb's backrooms from secret life and/or bigb's head from wild life. that man cannot stop making utterly insane bases"

"BigB's face is probably the least defensible, most arsonable base ever. building your own face is just asking to be burnt down"

[featherflight]

The frogs with noses are unsettling but also adorable. The creaking BigB face is mostly just unsettling. BigB cannot stop building bases that stare into your soul.

"BigB's face is probably the least defensible, most arsonable base ever. building your own face is just asking to be burnt down"

Froggy Tower

Propaganda:

"Nomination: the nosy neighbours tower. I love it but it was so ugly covered in all those frogs 😭"

[featherflight]

For the record, both of these were rather lethal, though sometimes to the occupants. The mounders had pretty "unique" building style.

I think we all know why I put these two specifically against each other. Must I say it? Also because I got comments about this last year, yes I know that technically the tower is Mumbo's build but it was built on Pearl's mound and she built part of it as well which is why I've decided it's one build. Never forget the iconic "why have you gone for that color scheme?" was asked to PEARL because she was the one building it at the time. Anyways.

Pearl's Mound + Tower

Propoganda:

"Pearl's secret life base was basically a dirt shack with a death trap in the basement and a penis on top."

Joel's Helter Skelter

Propaganda:

"Joel’s Secret Life helter skelter. It looks like, well, I shan’t say."

[featherflight]

Honestly I love both of these. Vote with your heart or whatever fairies have.

Heart Foundation

Propaganda:

"The Heart Foundation base was godawful (said lovingly). It 100% deserves a place in the second go around of this wonderful tournament. I look forward to it!"

The Fairy Fort

Propaganda:

"it feels like it should count as a base, and while it looked pretty, it was also entirely indefensible and was easily destroyed"

[featherflight]

It's official, Etho likes delicate walls and hates roofs.

BEST Snow Castle

Propoganda:

"snow castle had soul sand floors which whole yes defensable is ugly as hell"

[featherflight]

The bleeding heart bastion looked ok from the top, but from every other angle it was an uncomfortable red blob. People tried to start a HOA because of it. Cleo's rocks going out to it were prettier. Man put himself dead center of the action and way too high up.

Bleeding Heart Bastion

Propaganda:

"I'm nominating Martyn's base Bleeding Heart from Double Life. Did it serve it purpose? Yes. It is not pleasant to look at? Also yes."

"putting a message forward for Martyn’s DL heart base bECAUSE:

what makes a base ugly isn’t just the build. it’s the sentiment behind it. yes, I do think that Martyn’s may be the most egregious-looking (what was that glass?????!!!??), but the cherry on top is that he made it in the most pathetic manner possible. mans pretended to be heartbroken and couldn’t even make it a good build 😭🤚"

Tuff Guys' Base

Propaganda:

"All of the Tuff guys bases from wild life Ethos, Tangos, And Bdubs'"

[featherflight]

I'm sorry Skizz Point. You were lovely on the inside and high effort and very safe. You also were called a work in progress by your creator and look like you were made in super flat and dropped unceremoniously into a death game. Perhaps, in another universe, we could have had the red glass cone

Mumbo's LL Base:

Propoganda:

"nomonating mumbos stupid little box from last life that all the other southlanders continuously made fun of (it was NOT a tower)"

Skizzle Point:

Propoganda:

Yes someone did just submit that photo as propaganda which, fair.

"It was second place last year, and it's so ugly. Like So Ugly."

Roctopus

Propaganda:

"I’ve gotta nominate the rocktopus from tango’s last life because that thing was atrocious (affectionate)"

Scar's Shack

Propaganda:

"Ok, I know the dirt walls rule, entirely fair, but I wish to nominate Scar's first "pro" house in Last Life. He repaired it when damaged, hid things in the floor, even put a single glass window, and didn't make a new house until episode 4 (of a 7 episode series)." (Mod decided it does qualify due to the dirt walls being intentional and Scar living in it for longer than one session)

[featherflight]

If you need a reason to vote, look at the lava walls. Are they aesthetically pleasing? No. Do they force people to approach from the front? No, players can swim underneath. Do they remind arsonists of options for destroying a base that would burn down in minutes? Yes, absolutely. Expanding this base could cause it to go up in flames.

Also, I love these both and vote whatever feels right.

Etho's Wool Fortress

"#wool fort all the way#rhat thing was an EYESORE"

"#wool fort is soooo ugly im sorry"

"Making it out of wool was not an inspired choice"

"can I nominate the wool fortress from 3rd life"

The Car

Propaganda:

"is it too late to nominate The Car"

"MumboJumbo called the car the worst thing he's ever seen"

[featherflight]

I was just thinking this! It's like Jimmy's superpower is to slot perfectly into every social interaction. He's got a different behavior for everyone he knows and they're all perfectly Jimmy.

Jimmy Solidarity will never stop amazing me.

He is an actual energy chameleon. I have never seen him not vibe with a group. He has such a unique dynamic with every single person he interacts with and it blows my socially inept mind.

Watching him play R.E.P.O. with Grian, Gem, Impulse, Scar, and Skizz is such a fun contrast to watching him play R.E.P.O. with Pearl, Karn, False, and Ren. He's so chaotic with GIGGS and so chill with Pearl's lobby.

I love every single interaction he has with Scar. They are such dorks.

I miss his Plate Up streams with Skizz and Tango so much they have such an insane dynamic.

Genuinely, one of my favorite things about MCC is just watching Jimmy be paired with new people and adapt.

Man lives on an ever changing scale from annoying gremlin to patient teacher and I am so freaking here for it.

[featherflight]

Me, on my soapbox, waving arms wildly: So you see, due to the unique narrative structure, the consistent and detail oriented world, and the variety of character motivations and interactions, this show-

Passerby: Which show are you talking about?

Me: Well it's this ongoing youtube series which itself uses components from...

Maybe this isn't helpful or someone already mentioned it, but sleeping continuously through the night is actually kind of an unusual thing (relatively) modern humans do. A lot of animals have a biphasic sleep schedule, meaning they sleep when it's dark, wake up in the middle of the night, go back to sleep an hour or two later, then wake up when it is light.

Humans historically had a two-part sleep cycle too, with documents referencing "first" and "second" sleep. People would use quiet time in the middle of the night to chat, pray, or just whatever. Then they'd go back to sleep until there was stuff to do again. It was only when people started using lamps and having a night life that we really lost that.

Unfortunately, to get enough sleep now with a biphasic sleep cycle you'd really need to set aside all the dark time for sleeping (except for the middle break), and I don't know of anyone that sleeps and rises with the sun. But it might make you feel better to know that waking up in the middle of the night is actually a built in feature.

Also remember that humans have a separate 80-120 minute sleep cycle, so sometimes you might just have hit an end point and shifted back to consciousness. Also not really your fault. But interesting!

Anyway, if you wake up during sleep time, it's ok to do some light activity or change scenery before trying to sleep again, especially if you're starting to hate your bed. Probably should try not to do anything too intense, like stare into bright light or listen to very loud noises. But whatever works for you!

(If you're having trouble with the falling asleep part, that's the part I have trouble with too, please let me know if you find something that helps)

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
