24hr Stream Highlights

What was your favourite moment of the stream?

I want to give a shoutout to the minecraft lava drama!
Thankyou @Zii for the lava drama. I hope you and @LieutenantToast find a truce. Maybe let Toast pour lava over your underground lair so she can finish venting her frustrations.

It was hilarious and shocking, dreadful and a guilty pleasure all at the same time.
Definitely my highlight from the stream!

I want to say why this moment was precious for me:
We got to see a glimpse of Toast's wrath in a tired mental state - we can see how devastating it must have felt for her. The banning spree was the cherry on top - and a PERFECT example of what the corruption system will hopefully let us do - react in the moment and deal with the consequences later!
Contention, Transgression, Redemption - a beautiful cycle.
It's going to be our turn to make the same mistakes when we're in-game soon. Now I'll have greater capacity to empathize with someone who has "an episode" when I'm in-game.

My takeaways from this:
  • It's really awesome that we can satisfy our curiosty to do dreadful things to each other virtually, and see first hand the horrors of the consequences that follow. ALL without actually having those horrors play out irl. (Let me just get Artsy for a moment: this is the power that interactive medium has over the other mediums of art - you just cannot learn these things at such a personal level of depth from a picture/music/movie alone. It's just *chef's kiss*)
  • There are people (Zii) who will pour lava over your wooden house without a second thought. Let's do our best to protect what we can. But in the event you go too far: be like Toast - undo your mistakes, apologize and move on.
  • I'm probably going to dip into corruption accidentally at some point. Please help me get over grudges and move on

Someone suggested this already:
Can we have an in-game exclusive title for Zii to commemorate her infamous lava mischief? Something along the lines of: "Grand Arsonist"

Thanks heaps to the intrepid team for a successful 24hr stream!
Hope we get to hear Jeff sing too next time!
I wish I were deep and tragic
