Realmers reject SNM and embrace a new type of thinking, one that involves drawing from core human emotions that are inherently unique to each individual. In this way, being a Realmer means embracing one's own unique personality and "thought profile," while finding a way to share and convey one's own inner thoughts and feelings with the larger Realmer community. | Realmers reject SNM and embrace a new type of thinking, one that involves drawing from core human emotions that are inherently unique to each individual. In this way, being a Realmer means embracing one's own unique personality and "thought profile," while finding a way to share and convey one's own inner thoughts and feelings with the larger Realmer community. | ||
== Realmer "hierarchy" == | |||
=== Background === | |||
All Realmers are important and unique, but the community has been top-down classified and categorized in various hierarchies throughout Skeleton Realm history-- especially in terms of their monetary contributions to the Realm and the colors of their online display names. Cash-style contributions that increase a Realmer's status in the community include [[Skeleton Realm Patreon|Patreon]] subscriptions (becoming a "Pater"), buying [https://skeletonrealm.bigcartel.com official merchandise swagger] (Skele Swag) or [[Fabricia]] ("Khakies"), [https://www.youtube.com/@SkeletonRealm/streams YouTube livestream] "Superchatters" and "Gifties" who gift chat subscriptions (aka "Greenie" chatter status), [https://discord.gg/A9WfyhjHa2 Discord] subscriptions ("Pinkies" or "MeMoreLabs AdBot Technicians"), [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/skeletonrealm Tips for Sips] donations ("sip tippers"), and alleged secret "[[VIP LORD PREMIUM ELITE tier|Elite]]" bribes through platforms like [https://buy.stripe.com/dR6bIW4xqenPbi8144 Invoice Solutions by Skeleton Realm]. All of these cash-style contributions come with various material and immaterial benefits like analog swag, digital swag, and epic patron-of-the-arts swag. 100% of these monetary contributions go towards the debt that Skeleton Realm hosts Doug Bleichner and Sam Wagstaff owe to [[Hatreon]] and [[MeMoreTV]]. | |||
Somewhat separate from the hierarchy is the crucial category of [[Key Realmer|Key Realmers]], which transcends and encompasses various higher and lower levels of Realmer class society. Even the pitiful Discord "Whitenames" and YouTube "Greynames" can become Key Realmers through hard work and determination. There are some groups whose Realmer status is somewhat disputed among the (hard)core Realmer community, with some even accusing these Realmers of secret allegiance to [[Hatreon]], [[Desktop Dave]], the Tracey family, or shadowy figures like [[Hans Chromen]] the Dark [[Swock]] Lord. Despite this discrimination, many Realmers are very inclusive and optimistic about what constitutes a Realmer with some even referring to certain non-Realmer individuals as "pre-Realmers" or "[[wikipedia:Fellow_traveller|fellow travellers]]." Above all, hardcore and unquestioning allegiance to the [[MeMoreTV]] brand is what matters most to the vast majority of Realmers. | |||
The color of Realmers' online display names remains a relevant and divisive topic, especially on the Discord server. As Skeleton Realm Reddit moderator and Super Epic Baller kongu once remarked in the general discussion channel: "I have a dream, that one day my children will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the color of their discord name." Most Paters have disdain for Whitenames and are suspicious of their potentially destructive intentions, their general disobedience towards server norms, and their "freeloading" behavior as non-Paters. Paters often express fears of the possibility of a Whitename uprising against the Elite, which would likely result in the imposition of Discord server [[wikipedia:Martial_law|martial law]] by the creators of Skeleton Realm. Historically Paters and Whitenames generally get along, with the "#paters-paradise" Discord channel acting as a form of class and color-based segregation. | |||

==== Elite Realmer tiers or Pater levels: ==== | |||
# [[Skeleton Realm Patreon|HARDCORE ELITE MANIACS]] - individuals who pledge $100/month on Patreon, which includes MAXIMUM benefits. | |||
# [[VIP LORD PREMIUM ELITE tier|VIP LORD PREMIUM ELITE]] (or "Purple Spooners" if status is purchased before joining the Discord) - individuals who pledge $35/month on Patreon, which includes almost-MAXIMUM benefits like a personalized biographical Skelepedia page. | |||
# [[Skeleton Realm Patreon|Super Epic Ballers]] - individuals who pledge $20/month on Patreon. Elite Realmers at this level and above have access to "Exclusive Merch" like stickers, rare shirts, tote bags, and mugs. | |||
# [[Skeleton Realm Patreon|Super Epic Baller Apprentices]] - individuals who pledge $10/month on Patreon. This level is distinguished from the lowest Pater level by including "Livestream Call-In" privileges. | |||
# [[Skeleton Realm Patreon|Official Skele Freaks]] (or "Golden Spooners" if status is purchased before joining the Discord) - individuals who pledge $5/month on Patreon, which gives them access to "#paters-paradise" on Discord and the live Pater's Pod (PP) on Patreon. Hardcore Paters can also request a package of QR-code sticker swag, which they are encouraged to "stick" in hip places like bathrooms. | |||
==== Regular-style Realmer Identities: ==== | |||
# Gifties: Realmers who frequently give gift subscriptions to other Realmer YouTube chatters. | |||
# Khakies: Realmers who are not Patreon subscribers, but have purchased Doug Bleichner's novel Fabricia (which is also available as a narrated audiobook produced with the help of Sam Wagstaff). | |||
# Pinkies: Realmers who have subscribed to the Discord server. Following the launch of phase two of [[AdBot]], the MeMoreLabs Technician: Beta Busters EpicAccess+ program, a number of users joined the Discord and became Pinkies specifically to help MeMoreTV test their new advertising technology. | |||
# Greenies: YouTube chatters who have purchased or been gifted a monthly subscription, which allows them to use special emojis and endows them with an epic display name swagger. | |||
# Greynames: YouTube chatters who have not purchased or been gifted a monthly subscription. | |||
# Whitenames: Discord members who are not subscribed on Patreon. The status of this group is especially disputed among Paters and Elite Realmers due to the possibilities of Hater infiltration, but many whitenames have proven themselves to have the best interests of the Realm in mind. | |||
# Sleeper Realmers: Realmers who loosely follow the content of the channel, and are yet to be "activated" as Paters, livestream chatters, or Discord members. They often have a latent desire to become more hardcore, but are repressing it hard to maintain their [[Severely Normal Mentation]] (SNM). A few Key Realmers were once Sleeper Realmers, and have now fully embraced their love for the Realm with no concern for Haters. | |||
==== Realmers whose Realmer status is disputed: ==== | |||
# Toe Dippers (TDs): individuals who join the Discord and leave shortly after, but may still be viewing content on other platforms. This term was coined by Key Realmer Dan Levine. | |||
# [[Davies]]: individuals who discovered Skeleton Realm through the [https://youtu.be/vu8sVuuzo04 original Desktop Dave video]. Some of these Davies have become Key Realmers, but others are suspected of being hacker style individuals who are surveilling the community for unknown reasons. | |||
# Reformed [[Hatreon]] subscribers: individuals who have officially renounced Hater ideology are often accepted into the community, but are generally on thin ice. | |||
