On Wednesday, we gathered at Love Temple Waterfalls to bathe as part of our ritual. The shaman led a prayer involving goats, and then we enjoyed a fun goat trivia session.

This Wednesday, the tribe held a cozy and intimate ceremony at the camp. The evening began with our ritual bath, followed by a fun trivia contest about the Amazon Jungle and the experience of being naked. Shui and Yakirin emerged as the trivia champions! We concluded the ceremony by gathering around the campfire to dry off, enjoying music and dancing together.
Another Tribe meeting. For those that weren’t there, the summery is in Discord and Notice.
Today we went to Gallivant’s clearing to donate some of the food we cooked as well as the coins we collected. We gave out a lot of food, many coins, medical assistance, and ended up collecting 1400 coins in donations at the same time! So we’ll be back, next time with healing help as well.
Today we cooked all day for charity, so we tomorrow can go to Gallivant’s Clearing and give out a lot of food and coins to the needy. It will be at 10am SLT.
We had our first Naked Wednesday of the year at Turtle Beach, starting with tire-sliding down the pyramid and then cooling off with a bath in the lagoon. Later, we headed back to camp to dance and celebrate.
This past year was truly eventful for our tribe. Most significantly, we welcomed many new brothers and sisters, with numerous initiations taking place. It was a year filled with moments that brought us closer together as a tribe, through both good times and bad. Earlier in the year, we mourned the loss of our former sister, Redbone, and more recently, we said goodbye to our dear brother, Adam. We held a heartfelt ceremony for him, and it was comforting to see our tribe unite in mourning his loss.
Fortunately, this year also brought many wonderful developments for our tribe. Most notably, it marked the establishment of our new Tapi Village—a “shining metropolis in the north,” as Bubba described it in his speech. We reinstated Naked Wednesdays, enjoyed another Fishing Week, and shared many storytelling and cooking days. We won the Day of the Dead decoration contest, celebrated Jonas and Eastonia’s wedding, and held a goat slaughter at SL2B. Additionally, we hosted our first Animal Celebration Day and helped organize yet another successful carnival for the jungle.
Overall, it has been an amazing year, and as we look forward, we hope we will create many more memories together. We are excited to welcome both new and returning Tapi members to camp for roleplaying and fun in the coming year. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone for choosing to spend your valuable free time with us in the tribe.
Happy New Year Tapi’s!
This Wednesday marked the final Naked Bath of the year, at least organised by Whisper and Catten. Initially, not many people attended, but gradually more and more came to enjoy the bath, and eventually, some stayed for dancing afterward.
