🍳 How to Play

You gotta crack a few eggs to make a good omelette. Anna is the game master. The boys earn their spot or they don't.

🌴 THE VILLA

The main board. Active contestants only — Pipeline, Active, Slow Burn 🔆, On Thin Ice, Benched. If they're here, they're still in the running.

💼 VILLA STATUS (at the top)

This is Anna's status — not the players'. Check this first to understand the context of the whole villa. If she's in 💼 Busy Season or 🌵 Intentional Dry Spell, the quiet board makes sense. If she's in 🥚 Dating Mode, expect updates.

🥚 Dating Mode Actively cracking eggs

🎯 On a Mission Locked in, intentional

🍳 Villa is Full Too many on the stove, pacing

💼 Busy Season Life is full, dating is back burner

⏸️ Pausing Consciously stepping back

😮 Accidental Dry Spell Not by choice, just how it is

🌵 Intentional Dry Spell Chosen break, at peace

✨ New Era Fresh start energy

📲 THE STATUSES

In the Pipeline 📲 Matched, talking, not met yet. Capped at 20pts.

Active 🔥 Met IRL, things are moving.

Slow Burn 🔆 Something's there but slow. Decays −5.

On Thin Ice 🧊 On notice. Last chance energy. Decays −10.

Benched 🪑 Not dead but not getting attention. Capped at 24pts, decays weekly.

Resurrected 👀 Came back from the dead. Prove it.

🚪 THE EXITS

Shooting Stars 💫 Glad it happened. Fond memories. Quality people.

Sunsets 🌅 Ran its course. Not a bad person. Go to bed.

Vanilla 🫥 Fine on paper. Zero spark. Auto-sunset.

All Fart No Poo 💨 All talk. Never showed up. Evaporated.

🪦 THE YARD

Buried. Did something unforgivable. Married/not open = auto-graveyard. Count the tombstones — that's power.

🪩 THE GRADING SCALE

🪩 Disco Ball 90–100 · Marry that motherfucker

☀️ Sunshine 75–89 · Vitamin D. Good for you.

🕯️ Candle 60–74 · Warm slow burn. Real light.

🔥 Fire 40–59 · Hot. Keep your distance.

🚨 Alarm 20–39 · Red flags everywhere.

🧟 Zombie 10–19 · Half dead, half familiar.

🪦 Tombstone 1–9 · Good riddance.

🫥 Vanilla No chemistry. Auto-sunset.

🥚 THE RULES

IRL counts. Apps are just logistics.

Meeting in real life = +25pts. Dating app = +0.

The Pipeline Cap.

Pipeline players are capped at 10pts until you meet IRL. Words are cheap until there are receipts.

🥚 The Tamagotchi Rule.

They have to keep feeding it or they die. You're the game master. They're the contestants. After date 3+, consistency is rare and worth more. Points can be REVOKED. Neglect = decay.

The Benched Cap.

Benched players are capped at 24pts and decay −5 weekly until they earn their way back.

💉 The Vaccine. (coming soon)

Once downgraded, they need double the points to climb back. The egg got salmonella. Treat it, but you can't un-rot it.

📲 PIPELINE RULE

Pipeline players are capped at 10pts until you meet IRL. Words are cheap until there are receipts.

🥚 THE TAMAGOTCHI RULE

It's like a Tamagotchi — but they're the ones who have to keep feeding it or they die.

You're the game master. They're the contestants. Your job is to keep the scores updated. Their job is to earn the right to stay alive in the game.

Early dates: easy to earn points. Showing up, being cute, making plans — baseline behavior gets rewarded.

After date 3+: consistency is rare and worth more. You don't just STAY at Shooting Star. You have to keep earning it. Points can be REVOKED if behavior doesn't repeat.

Holding a grade requires new points to maintain it. Neglect = decay. That's the game.
