FAQ

byttenapple.com is the official community hub for the RottenAppleee Twitch stream. It's where every drawing from Gartic sessions lives, where stream regulars build profile cards, earn apple points, collect and battle cards, adopt pets, duel each other, and hang out between streams.

Most of the site is open to everyone. You can browse the gallery and look at profile cards without logging in. To earn apple points, customise your card or adopt pets you'll need to log in with your Twitch account.

Click "Login with Twitch" anywhere on the site. You'll be taken to Twitch's authorization page and then brought straight back. Your profile card is created automatically on first login, no extra steps needed.

No. This is a fan-built community site for the RottenAppleee stream. Twitch is only used for authentication (logging in) and for detecting when the stream is live.

The Orchard is the community profile system. Every logged-in viewer gets a collectible profile card that tracks their activity, level, apple points, duels, and personality. Think of it like a trading card that levels up as you hang out on stream.

It's automatic. Log in with Twitch and your card is created instantly. Visit /profile to see it and start customising. Your card starts at Level 1 as a Seedling and grows from there.

XP is earned through stream activity: chatting, pulling apples, winning duels, and watching. Your XP fills a bar that advances you through level milestones. Each level unlocks a new title shown on your card.

Levels go from 1 upward with no hard cap. As you level up your card title changes (Seedling Keeper → Shadow Keeper → etc.), and your character type can evolve. Higher-level players appear first in The Orchard leaderboard.

Go to /profile and open My Card. Pick Classic or Case File, then your colour, apple, title, lore, mood and pet. Classic cards also get frames, patterns and effects. Every change saves the moment you make it, so there is no save button. Your card's picture is your profile picture: click it at the top of /profile to change it.

Yes. Every card has a public URL at /profile/[yourtwitchname]. The Orchard page (/orchard) shows all cards. Your card also shows up on stream overlays during events.

Apple Points are the main currency of the community. They're earned in real time while you're watching and chatting on the RottenAppleee Twitch stream. Your total is tracked on your profile card and shown on the leaderboard.

When you redeem Get Apples there's a small chance you pull a Diamond Apple instead of a regular one. A Diamond Apple is worth 40 apples (60 for subscribers). It also shows as a special badge on your card.

No. Your apple points accumulate forever. They only go down when you lose a duel or spend them on packs, loot boxes, pets or song requests.

Lots of ways: open card packs (/packs), open loot boxes, adopt pets and hatch eggs in the Pet Shop (/pets), wager them in duels, and request songs: use the song request channel point reward on Twitch and it'll cost you apples.

It's a collectible card game built entirely from community art. Every card is a drawing made by a viewer. You collect cards by opening packs, build a deck, and battle other players in turn-based duels. Browse the full set at /cards and read the full rules at /cards/guide.

From you. Every card in the game is a drawing created by the community: submitted by viewers, then reviewed, cropped, and given stats, a type, and abilities by the streamer. If a card exists, someone in the community drew it.

Open packs at /packs. Each pack gives you cards drawn randomly from the full set, weighted by rarity. There's a free daily pack every 24 hours, plus packs you can buy any time with apple points.

Duplicates aren't wasted: pulling a card you already have permanently boosts that card's stats instead. Boosts stack, so the more copies you pull, the stronger that card gets. You'll keep getting new cards until you've collected the whole set.

Every card has one of five types: 🍏 Apple, 🔥 Flame, 🌑 Shadow, 💎 Crystal, ⚡ Storm. Types beat and lose to each other in a rock-paper-scissors style: a favourable matchup deals ×1.25 damage, an unfavourable one ×0.75. Building a deck that counters your opponent is a real edge. The full type chart is on the Card Guide (/cards/guide).

Special effects some cards carry, like Shield (blocks a hit), Poison (damage over time), Lifesteal (heal when you hit), Counter (hit back when struck), Double Strike (attack twice), Overclock (speed boost + bonus attack), and more. Rare cards get 1 ability, Legendary and Mythic get 2. Some trigger automatically; others you activate on your turn. Every ability is explained on the Card Guide (/cards/guide).

They're two separate things. The !duel command in Twitch chat is a quick apple-point gamble: you wager apples and the winner takes them, no cards involved. Card battles at /duel are the full turn-based card game with decks, types, and abilities (and can optionally have apples on the line too).

Yes, that's where every card comes from. Submit a drawing at /cards/submit. The streamer reviews submissions and turns the best ones into real cards, deciding the crop, stats, type, and abilities. Not every submission becomes a card, but the door's always open.

Browse every card in the game at /cards. Your own collection (and which cards you've boosted) lives on your profile. The Card Guide at /cards/guide covers rarities, stats, types, abilities, and battle rules in full detail.

Apple duels are quick 1v1 apple-point gambles you start from Twitch chat, no cards involved. You wager a number of apples, your opponent accepts, and the winner takes the pot. (For the full card battle game, see Cards & Battles above.)

In the Twitch chat type: !duel @username [amount], for example !duel @4pplee_ 500. The other person then has a short window to accept with !accept. If they don't accept, nothing happens.

Win: you receive the wagered apple points from your opponent's balance. Lose: those points leave your balance. Both outcomes are tracked on your card (Duels Won / Duels Lost) and influence your character type progression.

Yes. Your card displays Duels Won prominently. A high duel win count can push your character type toward Duelist.

No. The bot checks both balances before confirming the duel. You can only wager up to the amount the other person actually has.

Pets are companions for your profile card, and every one of them was drawn by someone from chat. Each pet has a rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare or Legendary) and a perk. Legendary pets are the ones that evolve into new forms. One pet sits on your card at a time; the rest stay in your collection.

From the Pet Shop (/pets). Six pets are for sale each day and the window changes at midnight (Berlin time); the collection shows when a pet is next for sale. You can also hatch an egg: an Orchard Egg (150 apples) or a Golden Egg (700 apples, Rare or better) always hatches a pet you don't have yet, and 1 in 50 hatches shiny. Lootbox pet drops hatch the same way.

The artist who drew it gets 10% of the price, every adoption and every egg hatch, straight into their apples.

The pet on your card builds bond from what you do on stream: +1 for every apple pull, +1 for every 5 chat messages and +3 for every duel (win or lose) or Apple Race you push in, up to 20 bond a day. Only the pet on your card gains it, and it never goes down. A pet that evolves can take its next form at 100 bond and its third at 200; you press Evolve in My Pets when you are ready, and afterwards your card can show any form it has reached. At 300 bond every pet gets an aura in its own colour.

The perk of the pet on your card works on your own apples: Lucky sometimes turns a pull into the next tier, Forager sometimes finds you an extra apple on a pull, Chatty sometimes doubles your chat apples, and Night owl adds apples to every pull on apple nights. Higher ranks make them stronger. Perks never touch races, duels or gambling. When Lucky or Forager fires, the bot says so in chat.

In My Pets (/profile/pet) you can give any of your pets a name up to 20 characters. It shows on your card, with the pet's own name underneath.

Yes, any time, from My Pets (/profile/pet) or the card editor on /profile. Only one pet shows on your card at a time.

Go to /orchard/pets. Upload a PNG (a transparent background works best), give it a name and description, and submit. If an admin approves it, it joins the Pet Shop, and you get 10% of every sale.

Not any more. Everyone gets the seven card colours, and loot boxes add exclusive ones. Frames and patterns unlock with your level and from loot boxes. Pets have their own shop at /pets.

Patterns are background textures in the portrait area of your card. Options include Plain (solid), Leaves (leaf motif), Apples (apple rings), Stars (starfield), Wood (diagonal stripes), and Bloom (radial gradient). Pick one that matches your vibe.

Yes. Every colour, frame, pattern, effect and pet you unlock or win stays yours. In My Card you pick which ones show.

Most of it. Both card styles, the seven card colours, the Common frame and the Plain pattern are free for everyone. More frames, patterns and titles unlock as you level up, and loot boxes add exclusive colours, frames and effects.

The Gallery (/gallery) is an archive of every drawing created during Gartic Phone sessions on the RottenAppleee stream. You can filter by session, by artist, or browse all drawings sorted by date or likes.

A session is one Gartic Phone game played during a stream. All the drawings from that game are grouped together under a single session entry with a title and date. Browse them at /sessions.

The Streamer.bot setup on stream automatically captures and uploads drawings at the end of each Gartic session via the bot-upload API. Drawings are matched to the artist's Twitch login and stored permanently.

Yes. Go to /upload to submit a personal drawing. It gets added to your artist profile and shows in the gallery as a personal upload, separate from stream session drawings.

Yes, click the heart on any drawing card. Likes are tracked and feed the /leaderboard which ranks the most-loved drawings of all time.

Each artist has a dedicated page at /artists/[twitchlogin] showing all their drawings across every session, plus their personal uploads. There's also a link to their profile card if they're an orchard member.

The Artists page (/artists) lists everyone who has ever drawn during a Gartic session on stream. Each entry links to that person's drawing archive. Artists are added automatically when session drawings are uploaded.

No. Artist profiles are created from the Twitch login in the drawing filename. You don't have to have ever visited the site. If you drew on stream, you're in the gallery.

Yes. If your Twitch login matches a registered orchard member, your artist page will automatically show a link to your profile card and vice versa.
