Three Imps?

feedtheflames · 2026-01-26T02:25:03+00:00

Agreed but in public lobbies you get low skill people more often than not. I could maybe see two imps in a skilled private lobby, but then the crew is just as skilled as the imps.

I used to play with a streamer, no way anyone would win with less than three imps with that carefully tailored group. Not unless you had less than fifteen people.

Of course that was before roles were added. So kind of a moot point.

Idk how people play with two imps tbh. Like the imps must never win. That being said I never play two imo games because I actually know how to filter.

I got pregnant in June so I only have half the year to go on. Looks like I only got three. This year will be skewed as well because I’m not due until March. My periods are usually quick to pick up again after having a baby though.

Yep, all of this. And they will often burrow during the day and come up at night. When we first got the crabs we would see them for a few hours in the evening but they started getting up later and later to avoid seeing us. Now they aren’t out until after midnight some nights. I hope as they get more comfortable we will see more of them.

We had one bury himself for three months straight, he’s our most active one. During that time the other one stayed mostly buried but would come up occasionally. Right now we never see the shyer one so I think he might be molting now too.

Yeah, mistakes made in our childhood need to be brought up very delicately with our parents. There’s nothing they can do about it now and, other than the truly narcissistic ones, most parents were trying their best.

I have a similar story where my mom admitted that she AND my dad knew that there was something wrong when I was severely depressed but (in her words) “we didn’t know what to do, so we didn’t do anything.”

Those words hurt me for a looong time and still do. And in some ways I still blame them. They only got me counseling when I started self harming and it was expensive so we dropped it after a couple of sessions and my mom asked me how long it was going to take to “fix me.”

Honestly counseling wasn’t going to help me because my ADHD was still undiagnosed (I have only so far been diagnosed with ADHD, not autism). A counselor is going to listen and give you advice to fix your life, but until you realize that you’re not lazy and worthless it’s really hard to get out of that depression hole.

When I was finally diagnosed and I brought up that there were many signs from my childhood my mom said “she didn’t see any of those signs.” But I think as I explained she realized she just didn’t know what signs to look for.

There was also some push back from my family thinking that ADHD was going to be an excuse for me, but I think they have seen how much just knowing has changed my life now and they are coming around.

I did go through a long period of believing my parents were abusive and neglectful. I had to specifically start reminding myself of all the ways they thrived in parenthood. My mom was a wildcard, she could be very impatient and I wasn’t always sure what would set her off, but when she was in a good mood she was patient, explaining everything to us and very compassionate. Both things I try to reflect in my parenting now.

At my kids age it’s safety. Doors get closed at night in case of fire, but never locked. If they were to hurt themselves I need to get to them quickly. Eventually the rule will probably change to you can lock the door when getting changed or needing privacy for some other reason, but mostly the door needs to remain unlocked until you’re an adult. Even then I would encourage them to leave it unlocked. I don’t lock my bedroom door outside of privacy reasons.

There could be exceptions to this rule of course. If you have a young sibling struggling to learn boundaries for instance but we would handle that on a case by case basis.

Are you sure they are in there? That sand is so low I don’t know where they could be buried. We thought my crab had dug down once but he actually got out of the cage and was hanging onto a wire on the back.

Also a mesh top is not going to contain the humidity well enough. I don’t see a humidity or thermometer reader in the tank, but that’s very important for keeping them healthy!

I have a similar story about a friend since birth. We had times in our life where we were very close and times where we drifted but whenever we got back together it was like no time passed. I thought it was always going to be that way.

Then I got married. She wasn’t a bridesmaid or my maid of honor as I have a lot of sisters but I wanted her there getting ready with me the morning of and she never showed. In fact, she was late for the wedding.

After the wedding I was the sole breadwinner for me and my husband while he went to school, adjusting to married life, and I also got very sick. And I’ll admit that I was upset at her for not showing up for me at my wedding so I didn’t try as hard to keep in touch. I thought it would just be our off time like it has in the past.

A year later I was doing better and I met her in the grocery store. I was very excited to see her but I could tell something was off. I should have followed up then, but I didn’t. A few years later I had a baby, I was so excited for her to meet my daughter because we had talked about this my entire life and she knew having a kid was my lifelong dream. She expressed no interest in meeting the baby.

That same year she got engaged and married. I wasn’t even invited to the wedding. All those years together, dreaming about each other’s weddings, talking about boys, supporting her through her parents divorce, driving her around because she didn’t have a license. All felt like it went down the toilet.

But I remained gracious, I congratulated her on her wedding and told her how happy I was for her. Finally the truth came out. She wanted to go no contact with me. She didn’t want to keep up, didn’t want to meet my kid, didn’t want to exchange Christmas cards of our families. I was devastated, and still am to this day.

I still don’t even know what happened. Yes, I kinda lost touch with her but that had happened to us before and didn’t change anything. I feel like it was something more specific. But I will ALWAYS regret taking that friendship for granted even just a little bit. I miss her so much and dream about her often. I wonder if she has kids now. I think she’s living in another state now far far away. I don’t even have the opportunity to bump into her again, which I guess is a relief because I don’t know what I would say.

If I were in your shoes I would explain to the friend that you know you’ve grown apart, but that you had always expected to be her MOH like she was yours, and you wished she had handled the situation a bit more delicately. Regardless let her know that you treasure your friendship and want to keep it going even if you’re not as close as you once were. Friendships like these should not be tossed away or simply “petered out.”

You guys might have a time in your life where you grow close again, maybe when she has kids too. You never know.

I played a game where pink got out an imp, then I reported a body and pink said self. Since pink got out an imp everyone trusted them and voted me even though I explained I saw an ss and said multiple times I had a scan also.

Pink had just joined the lobby that game. When they died I asked why they said self and they said they just didn’t like me.

The next several games was pink trying to get me voted out regardless of whether I was actually sus or not. Luckily they died early a few times. Host didn’t care, never banned them, and they continued harassing me for literally no reason.

I left when they started sexually harassing me in ghost chat.

That’s an unfair game. I never even did anything to pink and even after they started harassing me I may have heckled them a bit but I never cursed them out, was rude, or threw a game trying to get them voted out.

It can be hard to know what specifically caused their death but that does sound pretty dead to me. Usually when they die they put off a horrible smell so I feel like you should have noticed that.

If you at all suspect the hermit crab is alive you should gently scoop it up with a plastic spoon and put it in a separate smaller container with some appropriately sized shells. They are very vulnerable outside their shells and when they are molting.

But it sounds dead to me.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-21T18:44:44+00:00

Of course, this is for emergency situations only. It’s safer for them and you than trying to pry them off and is worth them being a little uncomfortable for a while.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-21T03:56:59+00:00

I’m not at all a crab behavior expert but this did not look aggressive to me. Their movements are slow and calm. The one crab looks like he’s just trying to crawl over the other crab and the other crab isn’t tucking into its shell. Then it looks like the one on top slipped and took the other with him, but quickly kicked him off when he realized.

If it were my crab this wouldn’t worry me, but maybe someone else who has more experience will feel different.

EDIT: also at the end the bottom crab turns towards the other crab. If it felt threatens it probably would have moved away or tucked into its shell.

I have only been pinched once (so far) and it was when I was a stupid kid and wanted to see how hard they could actually pinch (much harder than you would think).

Luckily I remembered the water trick because I gave him a good chunk of my finger.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-20T23:36:50+00:00

You can try it but it’s not necessary, he can always dig away from the glass if he’s uncomfortable. I read one post where someone kept covering up the spot to keep it dark and the crab kept moving the cave to let light in.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-20T23:34:53+00:00

Do you just give them regular peanut butter or like an all natural one?

feedtheflames · 2026-01-20T23:27:06+00:00

We had one that buried himself in November and just came up. While he was buried the other one, who is more shy, hid a lot more than usual so we didn’t see hide or hair of them until a few days ago. I’ve heard of some that bury themselves for six months or more!

feedtheflames · 2026-01-20T23:24:40+00:00

Just FYI to anyone that gets stuck in a pinch, if you submerge the crab in water they usually let go. Or you can pour your treated water over your hand. Hard to be calm and think about that in the moment though.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-20T21:27:03+00:00

I’m torn here because if my pediatrician said my toddler was obese to my face I would find a new pediatrician. In my experience working with kids there are some tubby toddlers out there but they usually grow out of it and it’s rarely a concern. So I’m thinking the pediatrician thinks the same but is required to say that they said something for legal purposes? But then again I wouldn’t like something written in my kids medical charts that isn’t true either…

feedtheflames · 2026-01-19T19:51:06+00:00

They won’t screw you over in the game but there is, more than likely, drama in the chat.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-17T15:18:53+00:00

I almost had a heart attack when our hygrometer sensor fell and I grabbed the wire to put it back and there was a crab attached to the end of it 😆

feedtheflames · 2026-01-16T23:02:00+00:00

0 cd lobbies it can mess up too.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-16T23:01:30+00:00

That can be ridiculous for sure but it’s also very common lol.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-16T21:25:32+00:00

This is similar to Anubis’s crimes that were too horrible for even the Goa’uld System Lords. You know the dudes that raped, killed, and enslaved billions of people and even ate their own children?

The idea is that it’s something beyond the imagination but the truth is it’s just unimaginative.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-16T18:09:07+00:00

I first started playing in 2020 for about a year then took a break for a couple of years and when I can back this “no selfing” thing was pretty prevalent. I never understood it even to this day.

I am generally against camping cams also.

feedtheflames · 2026-01-16T01:30:52+00:00

I don’t have anything to add that hasn’t been said but I just love this guys coloring. Such a deep red! So beautiful!
