Here we are again, at the base of memecoin mountain. Much stronger this time. More frens this time. Some of the guild is out there exploring, don't worry, they shall return. Dao Dun is going ham on the level 1 monster sign. We aren't falling for that again 🐲 Damn crafty dragon. This is where we met little fren before he was little. Right around the time that Banana Cat got that ridiculously huge sword. We didn't even know bear fren or Gugugaga then. The greensmith had just joined our party. We were ready to track the elder bear, and we had no idea just how awful that monster is. - Now's a good time to reflect on all the different ways that the community affected the story. First was the choice to give Banana Cat a sensible dagger, or the blade of nightfall. It was decided that he should have the big blade. Then after we had discovered how powerful the great bear was, there was the choice to level up by killing monsters... or go back to town for more gear. The vote was an even split, and so we compromised. I ran back to town and asked if the greensmith wanted to join our party. We came jogging back down the trail with a cart full of items and Pepe has been with us ever since. That was when Duk the bard got 2 blades from the cart, and helped us in battles thereafter. And Dao Dun upgraded from a knife to an emerald blade (gifted by someone in the community). Then when we went into the wicked forest of live pairs, we found a shop dealing rugs. We caught a giant rug monster and when we voted for what to do with it, there was a vote for fire, and another said toss it in the lake of fire. And so we did, and we ate cookies while we watched 🍪🔥 When we found little fren and he was swordless, the community said he needed to be armed immediately. And so we let the greensmith cook in an old forge in the woods. And there he forged him tiny armor and a tiny sword (big for him) fit for kings 🗡️ When we discovered a bear in the wicked forest it didn't attack us, and the community voted to give him a chance 🐻 And now he is our bear fren (who took down an evil bear over 2x his size shortly after) When we found the thieves that stole our stuff in the middle of the night, half the community said show NO mercy ⚔️ and half said show mercy 🙏 As always, when the vote is split, we compromise. But we do not stand guard over cells in the realm. This place was meant to enjoy, and monsters such as thieves will be dealt with swiftly one way or another. The realm has an ancient magic that will not allow bad actors to move once the spell has been cast. And so it was that the greensmith himself cast this complex spell that is currently beyond the likes of me. A magical cage was formed around each of the 6. Four who would move forward in peace were released by the realm 🕊️ Two who were rotten to the core were left in the cage until they were no more 💀 - My white staff which currently resides in the space ship on its way to Mars, was a gift from community member Jinmao 🤍 Every character that belongs to one of you that got into the art, was because someone reached out and asked to join the adventure, or sent an image of them in the realm having fun. And now even more frens are showing up. Such as you💙 Beyond the frame are so many more friends, packing their bags, poking around to see what's what, playing fetch with pups. So here we go once more, into the wild. Did you pack your pack🎒? And all your snacks? We have lots to share 🧁🍩🍰 Are you ready to explore the great unknown, see wonderous things, find hidden treasures, and destroy that colossal bear once and for all? Off we go my friends. Let's find somewhere cozy to make camp, and talk about our next move.
