souplings

the big one. the kitchen has been open for a week, this is week two of four, and it's getting a pet.

souplings

!adopt once and pick a starter: soupling, noodle, or crumb. it's cosmetic, and it decides which names your pet can grow into.

!feed <soup> once a window feeds it a soup out of your collection. the soup isn't used up, the pet just tastes it. every soup on the menu now carries one of six attributes (spicy, salty, hearty, light, cursed, blessed) and that's what it remembers. it's on every soup's page, and the menu can filter by it.

• the first 12 feeds are free. after that a feed is 10 broth
• at 12 feeds it changes, based on what it's eaten most
• at 54 feeds it changes again, based on what it's eaten most and how pure the diet was
• 72 forms in all. nobody's told the recipes. !pet shows what it's eaten as raw counts and that's the only hint
• evolving pays broth: 100 for the first, 300 for the second
• a lorded soup feeds it twice. that's the one place the xp grind and the pet touch

feeds come from the window clock, not from xp. the pet runs next to the soup game, not through it.

your pet also wants one soup at a time, always one you don't own. feeding it that one counts double. it re-rolls at every evolution.

!pet for yours, !pet @user for theirs, !pets for the whole channel. !reroll is 500 broth and starts you over. the whole thing is on /souplings.

ask and feed

!ask ramen posts a request for a soup you don't own. anyone who has ramen types !feed you and your pet eats it. the ask is the consent: nobody can feed your pet something you didn't ask for.

• one open request each, and it expires with the window
• filling one pays the giver 10 broth and costs them nothing
• one fill per person per stream
• !asks lists every open one

eggs and jefflings

one serve in 500 leaves an egg in the bowl. it goes to the person who got served. no stage requirement, no command. it hatches on their next !feed, whatever they feed, into a jeffling: jeff's kid, a second pet with its own feed count. one !feed and both eat. it changes once, at 12 feeds.

one egg at a time and one jeffling ever. hatching one puts you on jeff's side, and doubles what jeff's side gets. going back to the kitchen means the jeffling stays with jeff.

sides

half of chat wants jeff fed and half wants him hungry, so now you pick. everyone starts in the kitchen. !side jeff to defect, !side kitchen to come back. free, once a week.

• the kitchen gets +3 broth whenever anyone feeds jeff, rescues from his ult pay double, and +1 xp on serves while his mood is over 60
• jeff's side gets +3 broth whenever jeff eats anyone's soup, jeff eats yours half as often, and +1 xp on serves while his mood is under 40
• !taunt is new: 10 broth, drops his mood 5. !feedjeff still raises it
• !jeff shows the number and how many are on each side

random, everywhere

every command that takes a name takes random instead, and random pays +2 so it's the default. !soup random, !feed random, !ask random, !gift random. it leans toward whoever hasn't had a bowl this window, whoever gets served least, and whoever's new. !random on its own suggests something to do.

quests

three a night, the same three for everyone, posted at stream start. 50 broth each. one weekly, 500 broth, resets monday. never gambling, never spending. !quests to see them.

lord at 300, champion at 900

• lord is now 300 xp on one soup, up from 120. the level thresholds are 15 / 40 / 70 / 105 / 145 / 190 / 240 / 270 / 300
• everyone who already lorded a soup keeps it. if you were between 120 and 299 on an unlorded soup, the countdown comes back
• champion is new, at 900. xp never stopped counting, so it's one check. announced like lord, the trophy replaces the crown. a champion soup's effect is tripled where lord doubles it, and that's it for now
• two people are already past 900 and get it on their next serve

broth is generous now

feeding has to be affordable by week two, so every source went up.

	was	now
every xp award	1	2
a serve once your window is spent	2	4
being served while you're full	1	2
a duplicate, common to legendary	5 / 15 / 50 / 200 / 500	10 / 25 / 75 / 250 / 600
claiming an event	5	10

plus the new ones: 50 a quest, 500 a weekly, 3 a side event, 10 for filling an ask, 100 for a hatch, 100 and 300 for evolutions. a normal night is about 200 broth, up from 30. feeding is 10.

four new soups

legendary and up, supply-locked, handed out by hand. each has a passive and a !use.

• toothy soup (mythic): whoever you serve gets +100 broth. !use gives everyone in chat 200
• unlemonade soup: every ⬜ in the channel pays you 5 broth. !use resets everyone's window
• oscar soup: everyone who serves while you're in chat gets +2 broth. !use makes jeff stop eating for 10 minutes
• aku soup: jeff can never eat your soup. !use turns everyone into aku soup until stream end

gone

ingredients. salt, garlic, goodstuff and clover are out. !add is gone, !craft is soups only, and the pantry line is off !soupcheck. existing pantries refund at purchase price.

the site

• a new souplings page
• every soup page shows its attribute, and the menu filters by it
• how it works has the new numbers, sides, quests, random, and every new command
• profiles got a fresh layout: a collection bar across the top, your soupling and your soups on the left, records and history on the right. champion soups show up, and the xp bar keeps going past lord
• two new leaderboards: champions, and best fed soupling
• the whole site got more color: icons on every page and nav item, tinted cards, and jeff himself on the front page. he says hi
• the kitchen page knows about souplings now: what everyone's been feeding them, who's best fed, what they've grown into, and who's on jeff's side
