## Trivia

* River's message board says "LOST | IN STREAM | LANDIA", with Streamlandia being broken between separate lines
* Kermond was tubing on a river with members of the CTV team earlier in the day before the dev stream.
* Kermond is at ctv\_Aaron's place during this Dev Stream.
* ctv\_Brad's Spirit Animal is a panda.
* River "put some bleach" in her hair, which is why it is a different color then usual.
* River called the Gum Flying Rogue a 'her', but also stated that the event skins really don't have a gender. Kermond suggested that they ask what the skin's pronouns are.
* Kermond's favourite skin from the battle pass skins is the Peppermint Tank.
* River forgot to turn on the StreamRaiders Overlay. Kermond added that to a note for River to add the overlay after stream so it will be there for next time.
* Squidpie\_Meowface's community caused a HUGE squid army to be on the battle field. According to Kermond, their skins have also been selling really well recently.
* tatsuchan90 had a suggestion to open all rewards for the battle pass. Which would be an extremely useful feature, River told them to through that into the feedback channel so the CTV team can see it.
* CaptainTV had a Team Building Exercise that lasted Monday to Wednesday the week prior to the Dev Stream. River says she is still riding the wave from that, which has caused this Dev Stream to be quite silly. Some people were in VR when they remoted in.
* A Castle in Streamlandia is an offline ctv\_brad idea that still hasn't really gotten moved along after greenlit. But the idea is that it will allow streamers to build in Streamlandia.
* Some of the guesses for the new event are: Viking/Norse Mythology, Coven Fire, and Dante's Nine Circles of Hell.
* Uncommon/Rare spells do exist, but they do nothing. They were created in part of the system so they can be added in the future. Some art has been made for them, but they need to be spec'd out and currently no plans to add them. Reason: Units are cooler than spells.
* There were two random screenshots were scribbling on them, they were placeholders for the Plasma Necromancer Skin & the Plasma Skin Chest.
* River messed up the 7/30 Versus event promos, tweets that were sent and graphics had the wrong dates.
* ctv\_Aaron brought Kermond a crab to eat.
* The Mystery Guest for The Weekly is most likely going to be Kermond. When River asked, they said they don't have anyone to be a guest-host on the show. ctv\_Sterf said it could be her or ctv\_Aaron's dog.
* ctv\_Sterf confirmed that there is another StreamPirates public playtest happening approximately a month from the dev stream.
* ctv\_River is a little camera shy, but she fakes it until she makes it for the dev streams.
* ctv\_Cody sadly couldn't join, he was lost at sea.
* ctv\_Kermond has a peg leg in his closet.
* There is a crab table at ctv\_Aaron's place, like a table full of crabs.
* They did art & crafts during, ctv\_Sterf made Jerry Fan Art.
* ctv\_Aaron's Dog "Mochi" is apparently the softest dog in the world.
* They raided J20P\_
