The Spikestrip Sanity Tierlist

The final tierlist

The Spikestrip Sanity Tierlist was a tierlist created on the 20th of December, 2021. It was created and streamed by MonsterSkinMan. This stream was a massive event, lasting for over 75 minutes and having a peak member count in the VC of 19. This event, along with the Chester Chomper incident and the Creation of Spikestrip Chan, marked the new age of Spikestrip.

## The Tiers

The Sanity Tierlist had multiple tiers for different levels of sanity, with lower tiers indication lower sanity.

### Tiermaker

This tier isn't an actual sanity rating, but rather was created so that the Tiermaker watermark wouldn't get in the way.

### Bots

This tier was for the bots in Spikestrip, such as Among Us Dumpy Bot and esmBot. It is not an actual sanity rating.

### doesn't use spikestrip

This tier is for people who are inactive in Spikestrip. Since they don't actually use Spikestrip, this makes them more sane that anyone else, as even just using Spikestrip deteriorates one's sanity at least a little. Users in this tier include Soup and khorneflakes.

### Normal

This tier is for people who are deemed sane, at least by Spikestrip standards. Users in this tier include Wakan, Greric, and Grovetender.

### we do a little trolling

This tier is for people who are only a little insane. It is named for the popular meme. Users in this tier include AGuyNamedLeandro, Tarluk, and Penfolder.

### average gd1 user

This tier is for people who are moderately insaned. It is named after the channel from the official Risk of Rain 2 Discord called #game-discussion-1, which is more commonly referred to as GD1. GD1 is known for being a hellish and chaotic place with a fair lack of sanity. Users in this tier include PlasmaCore, Jacob, and Birbsmas.

### (gamer, insane, etc)

This tier is for people who are considered to be fairly insane. It gets its name from the infamous GD1 user known as matoi, who once unironically referred to themselves, in parentheses, as (gamer, insane, etc). Users in this tier include tiva, dumbdazed, and literallyeurope.

### downward spiral

This tier is for people who are very insane. While a downward spiral is a common term when referring to a loss of sanity, it is specifically referencing the YouTuber EmpLemon, who uses the phrase "downward spiral" as an ironic, self-deprecating joke. Users in this tier include Groove\_Salad, stret, and Witty.

### the deep end

**The Deep End** is the tier for people who are *extremely* insane. It is named after the common joke of referring to someone of having "gone off the deep end", which originated from the Lab member Charlie referring to heyimnoob as having gone off the deep end, to which noob responded by adopting it into their online personality. Users in this tier include Mirage, HIFU, RCE, Firewaze, Shrike, Phxred1, MonsterSkinMan, and heyimnoob.

### lord of the deep

This tier is for the user considered to be the deepest deep ender. The sole inhabitant of this tier is Extra Creamy, who has gained notoriety for their constant mentions of balls, penises, accusations of owning a body pillow depicting the character Rem from Re:Zero, and their frequent moaning in voice chats. This tier is both a play on the deep end, but is also named after the title for the highest player levels in Deep Rock Galactic.
