Chapter 31 - Announcing the New Features
*Chop chop chop chop chop Chop chop chop chop chop chop chop
The living room of the powered-down bunker. After rewarding the doggos, I sprawled on the sofa, watching the gallery's reactions while waiting for comments on the notice.
Weaker firepower than expected. Probably because I turned off the completion alerts. Most folks... no, races are in primary industries, so my guess that they'd work at dawn and crash at dusk seemed spot on. Honestly, the chicken-chanting gallery voices were kinda scary. If the heat had been higher, the gallery might've exploded. But even if delayed, sales had to start by tomorrow evening. Before I crashed again, I needed to ask Valerian about pricing quick.
"Selling chicken with beer would make 'em all lose their minds, huh? Heh heh..."
Imagining the gallery going nuts with joy made my heart race already. Savoring the thrill, I clicked a standout post.
Anyway, the occasional experiment posts from elves. Did they reach an agreement through those? Looks like elves and Empire will run experiments together. Plus info that the World Tree's power is heavily depleted. Packed with solid intel—I hit recommend in awe.
"World Tree's hurting... Note note."
World Tree's gotta be a grand being, but a tree's a tree. What helps sick trees? Pondering that, I checked another post.
Checked the chicken post expecting madness, but it was this eerily calm breakdown from a user. Is this what gently losing it looks like? At least conversation was possible. So gallery moods are like this now? If plans slip and sales delay, gallery's done for.
"Gotta set prices and post ASAP. Sora, the notice comments..."
Right, she's not here. Forgot since Sora was always by my side post-Mod conscription. Was gonna just hear a summary and sleep... Looked like bedtime was pushed back.
Dumb gallery users who starved sans bread get a ban gift—don't even comment.
Gonna show off new features and share the news you want. (Pay attention! Yelling Hero and Tiger emotes)
First, emotes. Stamp these cute doggos on posts/comments. Planning user submissions within a week—show some love.
Check the ones I uploaded. (Pointing Hero and Tiger emotes)
Second, race-specific notice boards. Too annoying to assign manually, so delegating to top leaders per race. Use well. (Bowing Hero and Tiger emotes)
Chat rooms same deal. Wanna open to all, but high misuse risk. Giving open rights to race leaders. Sorry gallery, endure.
Real-time recommends? You'll spot 'em gallerying as usual.
Chicken: Pricing TBD, bundling one item, sales evening-ish but not locked. Don't rage if delayed.
Dismissed. (Bowing Hero and Tiger emotes)

"Everyone asleep? Firepower's too low."
Intentional, but reactions to new features felt lukewarm too. Guess check tomorrow. First, wrap emotes for high-nick 'FairyLifeDone's daily bread.
"Emote max 5P, exchange fee lowest 5% for now, adjust later... Specific person depictions in warnings, so fine?"
Settings done, opened emote review. Instant submissions. Were they spamming refresh..? Shocked, checked quality—legit art. Emotion-packed skeletons galore.
"...Commission art later if needed."
Light feature add unearthed an artist. Bumped 1P emote price to 2P, registered, and bought first. That quality at 1P would've crushed newbies. All done, suddenly 2AM. Intense light leaking from my room door—Sora's summon going smooth. Roomie start D-day. Crash, wake, wash, wait.
