Spoilers for Empires x Hermitcraft
Scar thought they were in a another life series. Man was like "here we go again."
I kinda think the song Owl in a cage/Gilded Jail, by Stolas from Helluva Boss fits Scar’s double life character.
Great day for me (Context, and Life Series 6 spoilers below the cut)

Hey I'm thinking about this again here's my team placements (even distribution and also personal choice)
Please ask me about this.. idk what to even call it at this point. AU? Headcanon? General vague idea? Either way I'd be so happy to talk about this
I keep thinking about the possibilities for the next* life series so now you all get to be subjected to my thoughts.
*not confirmed yet, just based on hope and an implied future for the series
Like I said in my other post I would LOVE for there to be a large snow biome on the map, but that got me thinking about other biomes and land features which have been under-repped in seasons past.
So I made a topographical map. Of course.
The big feature would be the stony peaks which would surround spawn (located on an island in a lake). The mountains could be used as a wall for those living inside, a lookout point for anyone living on it, and it would serve as a natural terrain challenge when it came to brawls and inter-faction attacks.
The other large geological feature would be the cavern/ravine. Another feature which could work as a base and/or difficult terrain, but could also be a good entry point for mines and the deep dark.
As for the biomes themselves I think it would be cool to use them not only because they haven't really shown up yet, but because of the aesthetics, dynamics, and building styles associated with them would be so fun to see in a season (plus the fanart would be sick)
These are just some examples but it could be interesting if there was a tree house village in the jungle, a secure winter base in the mountains, or maybe even an apocalyptic wasteland in the badlands. Obviously there are tons of other variations of bases that could be built in these areas, but these were the first that came to mind.
But Fazed, you cry, what will the gimmick be?
Well I'm so glad you asked because I have two main ideas, both of which involve an aspect of randomness. They'd be built off the original 3rd life system, so keep that in mind :)
The first idea is that every session, there's a random server-wide event. The event could be anything, like every player turns invisible, a random green turns red for the session, or a tornado shows up. Something that will bring an aspect of chaos to the server as a whole, and could potentially increase in dangerousness as the series progresses. There would only be one event per session, and there would be no way to predict what it will be, so they'd have to be handled in a similar way that the secrets are handled in Secret Life.
The second idea steams from double life, but instead of 2 players being connected, the server is split into teams, each with 3-6 players. Teams are randomized at the start of the series, and players switch teams (also randomized) when they die. So there's a real chance that someone could be caught in a trap and then forced to join their killers teams. Health wouldn't be linked for obvious reasons, but I think there could be potential in having shared status effects, inventories, or team synergy bonuses (couple seconds of resistance if your whole team is together, strength boost when all members attack one enemy, regen when eating together, things like that).
Personally I could see both of these ideas working in tandem but I understand how that could be overwhelming when it comes to the creation and execution of the series, so seeing them on their own should also work.
That's about it, I don't really have a good name for this yet but if you like any of the ideas in here please consider adopting them into your psyche.

I am laughing so much that i see half of those happening on others povs and just thought it was normal stuff they would do
Like yeah cleo totally would just play a "our base" card on someone for no reason what you mean it was her task??
All secret tasks for session 1:
Bdubs: Make your base deeply uncomftable to use and look at
BigB: Dig a big hole. All the way down. At least 3x3. Make it your base if you want.
Scott: Build your base directly and obnoxiously attached to someone else's
Etho: Collect 4 beds without being caught and place them on a shrine
Gem: Convince someone to take a leap of faith and make sure they take no damage
Grian: Make 3 bad jokes and get NO laughs
Scar: Call people anything but their username for at least 30 minutes of the session BUT changed to coming up eith a nickname for anouther player and getting two other players to use it
Impulse: Make cherrywood your entire identity
Martyn: Build an identical base to anouther player
Lizzie: Write a poem about anouther player and read it to then
Skizz: Don't be further than 20 blocks from GeminiTay for 10 minutes. One attempt only
Jimmy: Break 5 crafting tables while they're being used
Mumbo: Make a pun at every opportunity in a 5 minute conversation, minimum of 3 successful puns
Pearl: Get 3 players to gift you their heart
Joel: Plug the life merch in the worst possible times to other players at least 4 times
Tango: Get Scar to take about Star Wars for over 60 seconds
Cleo: Build your base directly above anouther players above the ground
Everyone was successful or well you know unless you count scars as a failure
This is ten times funnier when you found out what his task was
(spoiler)
It was to dig a hole
His task was only to dig the hole
He didn't need to get all suspicious about it!
BigB causing server wide brain damage

Yk, when i started working on wolau & planning out the plot, i thought that maybe Grian was a littleee bit ooc, and i made him a bit too paranoid, tight lipped, watcher-like and too prone to being the scape goat & getting blamed for everything...
But uh. For some fucking reason wl!Grian is SO similar to (2. arc) wolau Grian. I can't say why, because spoilers, but WHAT THE FUCK THERES SO MANY SIMILARITIES LMFAO
Anyways, school & irl stuff r taking up my free time so i haven't had time to work on wolau, but hopefully ill be able to release another chapter soon lol
Please tell me im not the only one who needs a tuff guy and bad boys crossover
Watching scar and watching gem is like watching 2 different series... WHAT IS GOING ON LMFAO

Gem: "Awww, you're so cute! Hi Snail :3 See, I'm building, this what we do here-" proceeds to treat the snail like a cutesy harmless pet and experimenting with it
