New Life Series

By Roo

As many of you may know, a new life series started last Friday! For those of you who do not know, now you do. This season of the life series is the fifth, and we see many returning players and one new one!

The spoilers lying ahead will only detail the premise and the players that will be featured. If any of you want to hear about what happened in each person’s episode, go give it a watch! Now, there have been a lot of theories about what this season’s name, theme, and who would be in it- and the time for the big reveal has finally come!

This season is called Secret Life, and boy, oh boy, are there secrets! The life system this time is interesting, having returned to the three life rule, but each life has 30 hearts that do not regenerate. The only ways to regen hearts, with the exception of golden apples, is to complete secret tasks from the Secret Keeper, an ominous stone deity that is near the server’s spawn.

The majority of the life series rules have been changed- there is no boogeyman this time around, and hats have been allowed for only one player, the one player being Scar. Speaking of players, who is around this time? Our usual group of players are back, including Grian, Smallishbeans, Smajor, BigB, Etho, BDoubleO, PearlescentMoon, InTheLittleWood, GoodTimesWithScar, ImpulseSV, TangoTek, ZombieCleo, SolidarityGaming, and Skizzleman!

However, this season we have not one but two returning players, and, to everyone’s delight, one new player! LDShadowLady and MumboJumbo are both back for their second season, having participated in Last Life but none of the other seasons, and GeminiTay has joined the ranks, perhaps deciding that during her brief stint on Limited Life she didn’t kill Etho enough.

In the first session, many tasks were completed, many hearts lost, and many alliances formed (and broken!), and I think we all are looking forward to next Friday when we follow where everyone goes next. Happy life series, and happy watching!

Now onto other news below the cut!

This Week at The Overseer HQ: The Life Series, Murder Mystery Dinner Theater, and Halloween Preparations

By Lydia

The debut of the fifth season of The Life Series has seen a significant rise in activity among The Overseer staff in both their writing as well as their social lives. All of the staff members have been partaking in designing and buying different forms of Life Series merchandise and have made several predictions for who will be out first and who will end in the top seven left standing. Wanting to step outside of the office to participate in the server-wide ardor, the staff decided to try their hands at construction. Setting up makeshift outdoor movie theaters was not something originally part of this year’s plan, but the staff wasted no time in undertaking this project as quickly as possible. The staff was happy to spend the funds they’ve collected from their pickpocketing cats and rats to build digital screens near each neighborhood, as well as providing popcorn, pretzels, and a large variety of assorted candy for each one. The rats even offered to provide new pizzas to attendees who are willing to tip a few diamonds to The Overseer.

A murder mystery dinner theater was held last week by the staff to show off their acting chops and their practical effects skills, complete with a full set and gourmet food. Although the attempt seemed to be their shot to stardom, the reviews of the performances and special effects afterwards lampooned the show as “presented by actors that read their script with all the elegance of barely-literate, glue-eating seven-year-olds,” and “a spectacle that one simply cannot help but laugh at and throw the slop served to them directly at the stage.” Though the reviewers had expected the staff to give up the performance completely in a disheartened fashion, the staff instead decided to increase the number of their performances and make their tickets free to the public, believing that a big break must be coming for them eventually.

With Halloween approaching next week, the staff have finished designing their costumes and have decorated the office with an abundance of skeletons and the heads of various mobs. The staff has also been playing movies ranging from Halloween favorites from the staff’s childhood to new slashers to more avant garde horror movies. Someone had recommended the movie Beau Is Afraid and received mixed responses after the staff had finished it, many of them stating that they felt unnerved, fascinated, and deeply puzzled afterwards. The Halloween preparations have not remained contained merely to the office, and staff members who have taken an interest in the occult have gathered temporary clubs among the Citizens who are experts in summonings, ouija boards, raising the dead, and switching bodies with others. Some staff members have noted that this has been a riveting way to bond with their fellow Citizens, though others had found the processes too confusing, and stuck to making candy apples with them instead.

The Overseer staff hopes that you all have a very happy Halloween and thanks all of their readers for their ongoing support. Have an excellent holiday!

Affiliate Happenings

By Roo

DocM: He’s a glowstick now, so if you see a glowing vaguely humanoid figure during the night, it is either Doc or something you should be only slightly less afraid of.

Grian: Please do not forget to feed your Grian during these trying times. Death game enrichment is enrichment, but Grians cannot survive off of that alone, so please remember to mix in some chaos daily.

JoeHills: Joe Hills (PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS REAL). (I love you, Joe Affiliates.)

Pearlescentmoon: Here is your reminder to make soup. Happy Wet Cat Wednesday to all that celebrate.

ZombieCleo: Please keep all small items and limbs secured. Enjoy your flight on Overseer Airlines. Cleo, I’m talking to you. Put your arm back on.

Lost and Found

By Lydia

All of the following items have been brought to The Overseer staff’s office for safekeeping until they are claimed. If you recognize one of these items as yours, please visit us to receive your items, or contact us at [email protected]. Lost items will be sent to Twinkly Trash if not picked up after two weeks. Thank you! *Not a real email address.

Item 1: A treatise regarding the strengths and weaknesses of each Life Series This treatise covers the comprehensive summary of each Life Series thus far and contains statistics in regards to Player deaths and the lengths of each season, as well as analytical details of viewership and audience engagement. The majority of the treatise covers the strength and weaknesses of each theme and how it affected each Player’s strategies and time management throughout each session, based of course upon what the writer sees as a mere viewer of the series.

Item 2: A script for a comedy sketch This comedy sketch appears to have been written by someone from an amateur vaudeville troupe, though the content of the sketch is rather modern, lampooning a new video game that came out just last month. The sketch features lines that insult the game’s stiff facial animations as well as its quests. A specific section highlighting the stringent lawfully aligned attitudes of the game’s characters.

Item 3: A group of Mason Jar Halloween-themed snow globes These snow globes contain depictions of popular Halloween movies, including Jason from Friday the 13th, Sally and Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jigsaw from the Saw movies, Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise, and Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

Item 4: A collection of props from a carnival haunted house These props include a fake knife that squirts strawberry jelly out of its handle, a replica of the Freddy Krueger gloves using plastic, three fake machetes splattered with red paint, several dismembered fingers made from rubber and paint, and an amateurly-made puppet resembling Tango Tek dressed as a mad scientist made from papier mache.

Item 5: A jigsaw puzzle depicting Hermitcraft during the autumn This jigsaw puzzle comprises several screenshots of different Hermitcraft bases from this season in a wall of picture frames, all repainted with an autumnal palette. The puzzle itself has 750 pieces and staff members have noted that multiple copies of it have been sold in the Shopping District.

Item 6: An old jazz album This jazz album, Alleycat by Nucleus, came out in 1975 and was found just outside of Stress’s base. The cover depicts either a leopard or a cheetah running through a dilapidated apartment alley into a sliver of a desert depicted in a diagonal section at the bottom right of the cover with several small pools of water.
