#+the qsmp may have many many many problems

[alchemicaladarna]

I'll never stop gushing about this because I don't think people realize just how cool it was to see Quackity, Roier, Bad, and Yangdding all hanging out last night (this morning?? Lol)

Being in the fandom for nearly a year, you get used to people speaking different languages and sometimes using the translator. And there are times when people just speak English when together instead because sometimes the translator doesn't pick up certain parts of the conversation, but last night, we just witnessed 4 people relying on the translator completely.

LIKE. HOW AWESOME IS THAT???

A Korean speaker, an English speaker, and two Spanish speakers having fluent conversations in their native languages. And these conversations just flow so naturally that my sleep deprived ass didn't even fully register that they were speaking different languages.

The QSMP is truly revolutionary. I've seen people say it's like reverse Tower of Babel, but in Minecraft; and that's not an overstatement at all.

#qsmp #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp yangdding #qsmp quackity #qsmp roier #I can't help but emphasize how cool this all is #Because this is only in Minecraft right now #But imagine if it expands to other gaming and streaming communities #People from all over the world collaborating on projects without necessarily speaking the same language #THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT #+the qsmp may have many many many problems #but it's nice to just appreciate the the good things every once and a while and remember why this project was created #in the first place :D #(repost because tag broke this morning and tumblr hates me)

i've seen a lot of people talk about mcyt as a constantly burning library of alexandria recently, and to some extent that's true. people are constantly deleting their blogs, going scorched earth with animatics, fanfics, etc., that they made. but i've also seen people (three in the last few days!) make this claim about VODs, when talking about large fandoms like DSMP and QSMP, and.... guys. that was true in 2020. that's not true anymore. archivists have been working tirelessly for years now to make sure that isn't true.

the dsmp VOD masterlist is here. in november 2020, it's missing 16 VODs, if i am counting correctly--which is still a fairly small minority, but it's a lot, and it sucks!--but in november of 2021, it's missing one, and that's because the cc of that VOD does copyright takedowns, not because the archivists didn't save it. no one in the archivist project is deleting VODs off youtube with no backups the way people are deleting fanfics. three months ago, one of my dsmp archivist friends finished coding a tool that let them reconstruct VODs out of twitch clips, and reconstructed six tubbo dsmp VODs from 2020. not only are we basically not losing VODs anymore, we are actively gaining VODs that have been lost for years, that were thought to be lost forever. the library isn't burning anymore; it's being rebuilt.

the qsmp VOD masterlist is here. it is usually a month or two behind the present day, to give creators time to archive their own VODs, but... look at it. in january of 2024, every single qsmp vod was archived. the same is true of december of 2023, and november, and the vast majority of months for the past year.

i'm not going to say that there isn't a problem. just a few days ago, i realized that a lifesteal VOD from last year was missing--that its youtube upload was messed up somehow, and no one noticed and it wasn't mirrored on the internet archive and the person who uploaded it deleted the original file. and now it's gone forever. this made me super sad! like i said: i'm not going to say that there isn't a problem.

but... look at the lifesteal VOD masterlist here. lifesteal's a smaller fandom than qsmp or dsmp. open the 2022 tab and you'll see months and months of lost VODs, of no one's VODs being saved, because there weren't any archivists saving them. then open the 2023 tab and see: they lost four VODs, over the course of a year. even in smaller fandoms, archivists are working. they're making progress. they're saving VODs. in 2024, lifesteal archivists screenrecorded five streams on tumblr live to make sure they would not become lost media. mcyt may be a constantly burning library of alexandria, but the people with fire extinguishers are dedicated. they're making incredible progress. i know people with petabytes of VODs saved, who have spent money on extra storage for this. i know people who are constantly running up against their storage limits as they download/upload to the internet archive/delete for space/rinse and repeat. a decent fraction of the time, my internet at home is slow because it's downloading VODs.

and these aren't the only mcyt fandoms with archiving projects! the outsiders smp VOD masterlist is here. origins smp VOD masterlist is here. smp earth VOD masterlist is here. rats smp VOD masterlist is here. there are so many others that i just don't happen to know about. the older and smaller a fandom is, the more likely it is to not have an attached archiving project, or for the archive to be missing a lot of VODs. but... guys, we've saved a lot. there are people out there, working tirelessly to save even more. yes, mourn what we have lost--the archivists i know are also the ones mourning the most for the VODs that are, in fact, forever lost media. but don't dismiss how much people have saved. we are making progress. we are losing less and less every month. the vast majority of the dsmp and qsmp still exist, i am not going to say they're the same experience as watching live because they're really not, but.. they're out there. people have put in a lot of work to save them.

if you have publicly available VOD masterlists or other mcyt archiving projects that aren't on this post, please add them in a reblog. i want this post to serve as a reference for how much archivists have saved in this community; unfortunately, i'm not super connected to every community. but i know that--for every person deleting things, there are people working, tirelessly & with little external reward, in so many different mcyt fandoms, to save things. and we should appreciate that more often.

[magicalmanhattanproject]

okay so. that qsmp bts stuff. it's pretty ugly! it's also like. i'll be honest. it's not hard for a group, especially a largely volunteer group of well meaning people trying their best, to get into massive trouble with incompetent, misguided, and/or just flat out malicious management. this has happened before and it will happen again. it's also a problem that has been solved before and will be solved again, especially now that it's out in the open and we know about it and we can fix it

do i know how to fix it? no.

you know who might have some ideas tho?

badboyhalo of munchymc who has so so so much experience specifically running minecraft servers what have events on them

cellbit with the entire massive production company it takes to put on ordem paranormal which is specifically a twitch based roleplay thing

any number of the many other seasoned industry professionals that quackity has surrounded himself with who have been doing this for a lot longer than he has and made his mistakes on a much smaller scale already

quackity is 23 years old. i think most of the admin team that we know about have been closer to his age than the ccs. the upper management clearly needs to some big shakeups. with this much public pressure, i think it'll happen. i don't know if they'll be fired or just have the fear of God put in them, but this is going to open doors to fix a lot of the problems that we've been having with hte qsmp for a while and hopefully make things much better for the admins and the viewers

also that being said, it's entirely possible that the admins may still not end up being paid what they're worth. to be clear, this would be Bad, but it would not surprise me. i also think twitch mods should be paid but it doesn't surprise me when that doesn't happen either. quackity is already running the qsmp at a loss so there just genuinely may not be money to pay them any more. if that's the case though, you do have to, like, be honest about that up front.

hey. I know everyone is feeling a lot of things right now and most of them aren’t great, but it’s okay to still acknowledge that at its core, the QSMP was a good idea. it may have been managed poorly and my heart goes out to all the admins that worked so hard for nothing in return, but they worked so long and so hard for a reason: they truly loved and believed in the concept. even if you no longer feel comfortable engaging with the project or content about it going forwards, we owe it to all these people who worked so hard to acknowledge that the stories and characters and builds and puzzles they created were AMAZING. I wish they were able to create these things under better conditions, but I’m not going to go back and say everything about the QSMP sucked.

the whole goal of the QSMP was to bring communities together, and translation software was well developed to do so. we now have an extension that right now is allowing Portuguese speaking and Spanish speaking chatters to watch and enjoy their favorite CCs compete in Liar Liar on the Tubbathon, even though they are speaking English. it’s led to so many English speakers being inspired to learn a new language and to watch non-English speaking streamers, and so many friendships across language barriers have formed. we can and should discuss the problems with the server, but we can also reflect on all the good that has come from it.

#qsmp #not meant as a defense of quackity studios or even quackity himself at ALL btw #i just started seeing a bit of doomposting and wanted to counter that #so much good has come from this server #i wish it wasn’t on the backs of good people struggling #the good is undeniable though and the good can still endure #we can still be friends <3 #my post

[soars22]

Alright, my lovely people. I’d like to give a little rundown of what a labor union is and what protections it provides for workers because I think that it’s context that’s important to the current situation. Please bear in mind that I am by no means an expert. I am drawing on my research and my own experience being in a union at a previous job to write this post. Please feel free to reblog with anything I’ve missed.

What is a union?

A union is a group of workers who have banded together in order to use their collective strength and voices to make a difference in their workplace. Many unions were formed due to dissatisfaction with exploitative or unsafe working conditions (look up Appalachian coal miners if you want to see an example).

What do unions do?

Unions are there to act on behalf of their workers; their entire purpose is to ensure that their members (and, often by extension, non-members) receive fair wages, proper breaks, safe working conditions, and many other benefits. They are made by and for workers.

What do unions NOT do?

Unions do NOT exist to break up companies. Unions are there to ensure that workers are treated fairly. Union leaders will first do everything in their power to obtain better working conditions by negotiating with the company on the behalf of the employees. Shutting down a business because of poor labor conditions will never be a union’s priority; they will ALWAYS be on the side of the labor force. The union may take the company to court and the company might later collapse as a result of that (whether because of court fees, public backlash, or other reasons) but the goal is to preserve the workers’ jobs while also making sure that the workers are treated fairly.

What does this mean for qsmp?

I don’t know. Do I think there are major problems? Yes, absolutely. Do I think that Quackity is working to address these problems? Again, yes. Do I-or anyone else for that matter-know what those solutions are or what they may look like? No, we do not!! I cannot see into the future; neither can Twitter. We need to have patience and understanding as we all wait to see what comes next.

I’ve seen a lot of doomposting here. I’ve seen a lot of anxiety and stress. If that’s where your mind is at, you might need to take a break from the internet for a bit; god knows I might. This situation isn’t going to be fixed by attacking the cc’s or the admins or anyone else who’s involved. That’s not our job; we’re only adding more negativity and stress to people who may already be at their limit.

Be kind. Be patient. Be a community. That’s what this server is all about, ultimately. It’s time to prove that. Hope this helps.

#qsmp #qsmp discourse #unions #I’m writing this on mobile so I apologize for the formatting or lack thereof #I didn’t mention union busting because that feels like it’s own post #and I’m definitely not qualified to talk about that #I just wanted to mention what I felt was relevant to the situation

Paranormal Order Community Survival Guide (and other things you need to know for Saturday)

Ok, let's start. First of all, I've been in the Paranormal Order community since the first live season announcement. I've seen this community change so many times and I think it would be cool to warn a few things for those who are going to see Saturday's episode with the global creators.

Despite the recent problems - which have been translated here - the community is not complicated to deal with, you just need to know where to enter and where to stay to have a good experience. So, here are some tips.

1 - Watch the rpg live with the chat CLOSED.

The Paranormal Order live chat IS NOT the regular stream chat. This is one of the biggest tabletop RPG projects in Brazil and, because of this, it is very difficult to have 100% control of the chat.

Obviously, the moderators already have years of experience to deal with. The chat will be 100% in submode and only the Tuesday chat, which is when the episode replays for those who missed it on Saturday, will be open to everyone.

However, this does not prevent hate comments from happening in the chat, as many do not watch Cellbit regularly and just sub to talk in the chat/watch the episode without ads. It's no joke, the rpg chat is known for being a toxic chat that has made players cry in the middle of the session when it was still online.

2 - If you see any hate, ignore it or make a joke.

It's more of a personal recommendation. Even within the community, the essential thing is to ignore hate that has few likes or things like that so it doesn't spread OR turn into a copypasta.

Generally on Twitter it's easier to ignore, because you can just filter things and rarely does anyone post hate on the tag where we comment the live.

MAYBE hate can happen from outside the community, we have suffered a lot of hate for years because it is a "nerd thing" and/or it is a Cellbit's project, which receives a lot of hate here in Brazil and we suffered from hate for a long time. I don't know if it will happen in this episode since the community is much larger, but it's just a warning that it could happen.

But as the old saying goes in the fandom: talking bad about Order gets likes on Twitter.

3 - Some people who watch Ordem are unhappy.

Nothing really serious, but some people in the community don't like QSMP out of sheer annoyance with the project and are frustrated with Saturday's episode because they expected something from the main story - which they've already been warned won't happen until Enigma of Fear comes out.

Which brings us to the Discord situation that I mentioned at the beginning of the post. Just situating what is happening, ignore these people and support Cellbit, which is doing his best.

Paranormal Order is his life project, we all want to give as much support as possible despite these people who call themselves fans and seem to hate the project.

4 - General dates and stuffs.

It's an independent story from the main story and will be in English, so don't worry about needing to watch past seasons to understand because the basis will be explained in the episode.

The episode will happen live on Saturday, September 23rd at 6pm BRT. I saw some people asking and no, it's not a pre-recorded video being show in live, everything is 100% done on the spot.

If you missed the episode, a rerun will take place on Tuesday at the same time and the vod will be for subs only. However, you can still wait until it comes out Thursday on YouTube for free on the official channel.

On average, typical episodes last 4-5 hours. However, as it is a oneshot, it may last 6 hours but Cellbit always warns you in advance if the episode is too long.

The episodes have breaks for you to go to the bathroom or stretch your legs and for the players to rest a little.

The Order fandom does a LOT of live tweets at the time of the episode, the fun is seeing everyone commenting together so we use a # specific to each campaign. In this campaign, we will use #OPQ and you can also use it to post memes and fanarts.

When the episode starts, you will be notified on the official Twitter. But there are two things: IT'S ALWAYS DELAYED and THERE'S ALWAYS A TIMER. So don't worry about arriving at exactly 6pm BRT, you'll have a little time to prepare until the episode actually starts.

5 - We organize ourselves on Twitter.

The order fandom is very active on Twitter and always does dynamics with all profiles and we upload a sentence on the day of the episode to give hype. Even Wiki and some official Order players participate.

We are still deciding on the phrase we will upload to tts, so if you want to help, just keep an eye on the brazilians in the fandom. However, the pack has already been decided and if you want to participate in the fun. Here's what my profile looks like.

I think this is the basis of what you need to know, maybe I'll reblog adding things later if I remember too much. The Ordem community is not a monster, but I'm giving you these tips so you can live in peace in it.

COMUNICADO IMPORTANTE: quackitytoo

TRANSCRIPTION -> TRANSLATION BELOW THE READ MORE. i am not an experienced translator and some may be a bit off, but i've done my best to translate all of it!

hello, hello! hello everyone. good night– good night everyone, i hope you're all well. um, i did this stream since i'm making an announcement to talk to you all in relation to qsmp's structure. i know people have questions, about a lot of things. so, i hope this will help you understand a little bit more. i'll be saying all of this in spanish since i find it easier to find the words– in spanish, as it's my native language.

i want to give you and explain a bit of context about everything. these last three weeks have been incredibly turbulent in many, many aspects. the restructuring process that's in course for the project hasn't been very easy. before my involvement— and i've said it before— there were people that affected the project in damaging ways, financially and administratively. i had already commented about this.

and i haven't spoken about giving updates and nothing of that nature and i haven't spoken about it since all the updates i've had are internal and of the legal type. hence why, there's no visible changes but they're changes that have to happen. i reaffirm, malicious people have been removed from the server and i'm still in (legal) processes against people who've caused many of this damage since the start. and that has been one main focus of this restructuring that's been happening.

guys, i want to leave this very clear. during all this process, all the words and actions that have been taken have to be done very, very carefully. recently, i've wanted to give many updates, such as internal and external, but we're against a really critical problem– that being leaked information.

i don't know if the people that leaked announcements or information from the inside knew that this was happening, but when i gave out private information and this info got leaked to places it shouldn't have gone– that affected the required process to solve a lot of stuff. and the people that harmed me both administratively and financially, that i've talked about in a past stream, were finding out about things and situations they shouldn't have and used this information to misrepresent and affect the process. so that complicated things– it's why i haven't given any announcements or talked freely as much as i wanted to. it's not to ignore or evade but there's a really, really delicate process going on.

and from the start, i knew in my involvement, to achieve a total change– we had to start with the people that affected me and the project. and caused a lot of the mistakes that have been occuring this whole year.

and when this could be defined, what was done was starting to find a financial strategy for the project since the project's costs are very high– and the project was going to close. i've also mentioned this before. and when i could define with strategies and events in the qsmp if there was a way to support the project, the next step was to restore different elements of the qsmp that no longer existed. and i want to make something clear, given the circumstances of the server i didn't want to make any promises to anyone i didn't know i could keep.

this is the reason i was figuring out this part and the financial part, and i couldn't give any more internal updates because i was working in an important part of the server, the financing. so, i understand and comprehend the lack of communication has been notorious. and i reaffirm, i tell you, it's not on purpose. there's a lot of situations i've tried to solve behind the scenes but i've had to be very careful. i understand if there's people that don't agree with the methods or the process. and if you dont trust in the project or the process– don't worry. there's no problem if you stop consuming the project. i totally understand. i've said i have a personal conviction with the project and it'll stay like that.

i've been working very hard and i'll do everything that's possible so the project keeps running but with the best conditions possible. and something i have to make clear is that this process takes time. i have to leave it clear– this process takes time. guys, there's people that have left the project and will keep leaving the project on their own will and i understand it fully. and i have no problem with someone that takes or will take that decision, and i wish them the best. in fact, i gave an internal announcement where i said that a restructure would take time to finish. and there's people that for reasons don't want to be part of that process. and i understand completely! because it's not easy to be in transitional phases.

something i said at the start was that my main objective was that this project came back to normal but with the best conditions. this is able to happen following the dynamics and examining the exact scenario for each person contributing to the project— and this isn't achieveable in three weeks. and all of this process continues.

so, giving you all a bit of context, behind a lot of things about the project. i ask you all, that keep wanting to do it, ask you your full patience. i don't want to promise or talk pretty. i want to make concrete decisions, and that's what i've been doing. if it's seen or not, it's what i've been doing. it's what i've been doing step by step.

friends, the changes i've been doing is for the best of the project and i'll say it transparently, the changes are for the good of the project and the people that love it. to the people who the project's impacted and the ones who keep up and love everything that this project's for. those people are the motivation and inspiration who the project was created for and is created for and the reason i'll keep doing the qsmp.

i'm not doing this, and i want to leave it very clear, i'm not doing this for the people that for a long while have wanted to see the project destroyed by actions that have demonstrated the- total opposite of love for the server. like not constructive comments, bad actions, bad wishes for me, the team, and any community that consumes the qsmp and the project in general. to me, all those people with damaging intentions don't matter to me that they stop consuming the project. leave that very clear!

and let's not forget something important guys, it's very difficult to build and way easier to destroy. to all the people that wants to join this building process is welcome, and those that want to maliciously destroy, this project from the start wasn't and isn't for you.

and lastly, i want to say these days i've received a lot of calls, emails and messages from people from a lot of parts of the world expressing what qsmp means to them. it's why i tell you punctually, that this project isn't over and i'll do what's necessary so each day it gets better. it's a process, step by step, that takes a while but i'm doing it. so, beforehand, i want to thank you for your trust and reaffirm my personal compromise to strengthen this project.

i hope this cleared up some doubts and given the necessary context to some people. and i reaffirm, i have a personal conviction with this project and i'll keep working to better it. just wanted to say that. thank you all and goodnight! bye!

MCYT Drabble Exchange: Overview and Rules

Do you like writing? Do you like Minecraft youtubers? Do you, perhaps, like writing about Minecraft youtubers? Well, we do too! Only problem is, we often stay up late wagging our fists at a half-finished document, cursing the fact that writing is hard, life is busy and there's just not enough time in the day to sit down and make a good fic. Well, if you’re looking for a quick little block people centered writing challenge, then boy, do we have just the mini-event for you!

Welcome everyone to the 2024 (first ever!) MCYT Drabble Exchange!

RULES: 1. As per Tumblr and AO3 TOS, you must be over 13 to participate. 2. You agree to create a work of exactly 100 words by the given deadline, or contact a mod on Tumblr for your giftee to be reassigned. 3. You agree to abide by your giftee’s DNW. 4. Your work must focus on at least one requested character, but can include non requested characters. 5. All works must be MCYT-centric. 6. This is a 13+ exchange, there is no NSFW allowed. This applies to sexual content as well as extreme (e-rated) gore. 7. Make your gift in good faith - something that you think your giftee would like. 8.

So, what is a drabble?  A drabble is a written work made up of exactly 100 words. Typically viewed as a challenge, drabbles are often meant to test a writer’s skill in brevity, seeing how efficiently they can communicate emotions or ideas through such tight restrictions. For this event, we are using this unique format to bring the joy of MCYT into the world! Think, how would a lighthearted interaction between Tubbo and Tommy play out? How many insults could Grian hurl at Jimmy? How much emotion can you squeeze out of QSMP Jaiden if you’ve only got her in your little writer hands for 100 words?

Are violent/triggering topics allowed? As MCYT content can often include violence, character death, murder games, and other such themes, we do allow them. However those are opt-in - if your giftee hasn’t asked for it, then don’t write it. If you do end up writing about these topics, make sure to tag appropriately! 

What if I can’t finish on time? Contact us on this blog as soon as possible! A pinch hit will be sent out, and your giftee will be reassigned. If you do endup requesting a pinch hit, you will still get your own gift!

How will the matches be made? After the sign ups are done, the event mods will match everyone to ensure everyone gets to write what they signed up for! Once matches are made, you will receive your assignment via Tumblr DMs.

Can I make more than one gift? Of course! As long as it complies with your giftee’s requests you’re welcome to write as many drabbles as your heart desires!

I have a different question? Send us an ask or a DM!

Why Juanaflippa Should Be Brought Back, and a Good Way To Do It.

Yes, she's already been brought back once, and yes, she's been gone so long that it may be strange for her to return now. However, the benefits of bringing her back would make these points null. 

Now, even with Juanaflippa being my favorite egg, she herself is not the reason it would be a good idea to bring her back. No, it's Slimecicle and Mariana--specifically the content creators--and their friendship.

Despite getting on like a house on fire and singing eachother's praises whenever the other comes up, the two have hardly interacted inside or out of cannon since Flippa's death. That's because of one problem: the language barrier. 

Both have gone on record saying that they would love to stream with eachother outside of QSMP, but that it would be difficult since Slime hardly speaks Spanish. Mariana has even said that the only thing stopping them from being great friends is the language barrier. 

But wasn't QSMP created to break down that barrier? Yes, but neither of them are on the server enough for that to happen between them. This is were Juanaflippa's revival comes in. Not only would they have a reason to play again, but this event could single-handedly break the barrier between Mariana and Slime, as long as it is given the attention and effort it deserves. 

My proposal is this: make them work for it. They must prepare to go and save their daughter. This preparation phase can last days. When they are ready, the trial(s) can begin. Potentially, the first trial could be a difficult dungeon, much like the one that lead to the countdown room. This would be a great opportunity for the rest of the server to help out, since many members are more than willing to lend a hand. 

The final trial, however, must be completed Slime and Mariana, and them ONLY. This is what could help break the language barrier and become better friends.  What I'm thinking is a puzzle/series of puzzles that physically separate them, and requires them to communicate and work together in order for them both to proceed. Only after completing that will they reunite with their daughter, because they've EARNED it.

Not only will they get Juanaflippa, but they will have proven that they CAN communicate and be great friends despite the language barrier-- which, once again, was the whole purpose of QSMP in the first place. Even if the breaking of the barrier isn't complete by then, with Flippa back, they will have a reason to play more, and therefore interact with each other and continue getting closer. 

In conclusion, it is in the QSMP Team's best interest to revive Juanaflippa, and would make an entertaining event/story in the process.

[the-library-of-theories]

I think I have an idea regarding Philza.

First off, I do see this capture as relevant, regardless if it seems too random, abrupt, or even as some say “out of character.” Philza may be the most level-head and calmest of all the members, however, we must remember he’s one to hide how he’s feeling and do what he can to help others out first. He’ll distract himself to avoid thinking of the hurt he is feeling similar to the other members (perhaps master it better than others). He’s basically used to it, considering he’s a literal hermit. He was used to living alone even when he has his “sons” and wife nearby. But what do you do when you are given literal children to take care of and have grown attached to? Not only that but he’s canonically an avian (the Angel of death), thus his hybrid sense will go overload with the eggs. So it does seem that even the most wises and calmest can fall to their knees.

Philza’s capture may have been over done for his little rebellion that he only went minimal on… but to be honest… I don’t even think its about that. (If we find out later that is it this case, then ignore my overthinking mind).

I think this was intentional. The federation has been planning his arrest/capture for a long time.

Let’s start with Tubbo.

When Tubbo was stuck in the tube with the items and the spinning wheel, perhaps it was unintentional for Tubbo to spin the wheel… or maybe it was. Lets assume for now. Number 5. Well this can go for many things regarding the eggs. Cheyanne was number 5 on the egg statistics. QCNP5 was Leo. Tallulah is the 5th eldest egg. Etc. etc. etc.

But I think this could be pertaining to Philza.

If you go back to when the character were announced, you can see the 4 hints of the possible characters. If we link it correctly, we get Wilbur, Charlie, Jaiden, and BBH (at least that’s what we can assume) first… so 4 characters “announced”/ hinted at. So who’s next? Who is the 5th? Ironically enough, Philza was both the 5 and 1st to be introduced to the QSMP. 5th after the hints and 1st in the poster release (Released on 3/18/23).

Sure this can be a coincidences. But this can be proven stronger with Philza’s Ticket. Again, ironically enough, Philza’s ticket is 0025. Out of the 16 original members, only 2 members has 5 in their tickets. Philza and elMarianna.

Continuing on, I find it very strange that the one item displayed, in the tube where all of the egg’s items where, is Cheyanne’s duck floating. Of all things, why Cheyanne’s floating? Not only that but why on the same day his parent, Philza, is captured?

I think this was intentional. Perhaps the federation knew Philza would be a problem after seeing his first warning. Perhaps this was longed planned but couldn’t put it into action due to Philza’s calm and level-headedness, so they would need to get him at this lowest… or perhaps this was always planned (his capture).

Cucurucho has been trying to “keep a tight leash” on the members… but they always seem to be one step ahead and stick close. People grew less afraid of the federation and beaten the fed little by little. Heck even, Tubbo and Nikki don’t fear the federation… the one thing that scares them more is Philza’s wrath. So what to do…

Well, I believe there was a reason why Tubbo was being followed by Cucurucho. He was observing. Even going as far as to follow him to a place where only Cheyanne, Tallulah, Philza, and Tubbo know of. A sanctuary of their own… at least until Cucurucho found that place. It was there that it knew that it could lead Philza to a place where he would know only his eggs would know…

So he went… and fell for the trap.

But what could they want Philza for aside than a prisoner? Well… Luzu has said that there is needed to be a sacrifice. A sacrifice for what tho… It is unknown… we can’t be even sure if “they” is the federation, the codes, or something else…

Until we get more information, this has been my brain rot.

Hope everyone is doing okay, hope what has been going on for all the minecraft community can be solved or at least calm down and resolve some thing eventually.

It's awful what Quackity had to go through and even though we all want answers and want this all to be resolved. Going so far to where someone's life and people around them is at risk is just dangerous and horrifying.

I would never wish that on anyone even people who aren't great.

Also getting info especially on twitter is not a good idea as that site is extremely toxic. Like theres unfortuently a lot of missinformation and it can cause a lot of problems.

But hope Quackity and anyone who was affect by all this can heal and move on and be safe. Hope that whatever is still going on behind the scenes can be solved.

And for the admins that were affected by everything going on. Sorry that u all had to go through this. I know u all and many who wants to see change and know what's going on wants things to improve and get better. It will, it just won't be an easy thing to solve and will be a bit till those changes can be seen. And sorry that things got all out of ccontrol. But hope u all are safe and doing well and obrigado for being apart of a project that will forever change me and my view on life and my confidence in other languages.

Honestly today hasn't been a good day, this whole year so far has been the worst and with everything that happened in this community is just caused me a lot of fear and saddness. I hope this will be the last I talk about these things but I want to bring positivity in the community because the qsmp has brought me so much joy and taught me a lot and gave me hope that cultures can come together and share those languages and cultures. I want to be able to speak a sentence in portugues and even other languages in the future, I so far only know a bit of portugues and adopted some. I even am more confident in having other languages play in the background which isn't easy but honestly it's relaxing and helping me calm down.

But yeah the qsmp is very important to me and I know u all also feel the same and whatever happends from here we all need to just think before we do and say anything. If it's too stressful for u, take time away from here and do whatever u need to help calm down and when and if you're ready u may return. But this whole situation is hard and may be a while before the storm calms down but I will continue to talk about the qsmp and even still tell my oc's story on the server.

Hope u all can have a better day/night and know we all arent alone, we at this point became a little family from around the world, even if u don't interact on here often u are welcomed here and know that we all just need to go day by day and hopefully things will calm and may even improve.

Time for some qsmp egg designs! Since I was working off of the idea that dragons adapt and change to look similar to their caregivers before they hatch, it was really difficult for some eggs since I don't know most of the members of the server + Pomme and Richarlyson have more than two parents. I also based the spots on their shells on their favorite colors, which was also difficult since the wiki doesn't have them all listed.

Anyways I'm glad with how these turned out.

Leaving explanations for all the design choices below for anyone curious.

Some basic details about the eggs, so far their colors have not completely set in so some of their original purple coloring can still be seen; this is most notable for Tilin, JuanaFlippa, and Trump, who all died before their new colors could get past their shells. All of the eggs started out quadrupedal but quickly adapted to stand on their hind legs as well as adapting to have opposable thumbs allowing them to pick up and use items.

Tallulah: Starting off, she has hair coming from the top of her head and the tip of her tail, the color and style are from Wilbur, however she hasn't seen much of his avian form so the positioning actually comes from Phil. Speaking of Phil, because she has been under his care for quite a while she has also gained many traits from him, such as an extra talon on the side of her heels and pin feathers sprouting from her front legs/arms. Her scales have also started changing to an orange hue, similar to that of my Wilbur's markings, and her secondary colors are a darker green because of Phil.

Bobby: Bobby is my favorite egg but gave me a lot of trouble due to not really knowing much about Roier so he pulls a lot of traits from Jaiden and the common traits of the fandom's designs. Like Tallulah he has pin feathers coming from his arms and extra talons, however his talons are on the back if his heel. Like Jaiden, he has a feathers on the tip of his tail. While his secondary is a lilac from Jaiden's influence his main color is a duller blue as the fandom has convinced me that he would've been blue if he got to hatch. I had drawn him alive for this, but once dead, he would have a large hole in his shell just under his overalls.

Chayanne: Probably the easiest design as his traits are about the same as Tallulah's. His tail feathers however are both shaped and patterned like Phil's own tail feathers. His scales are also green and gold to match Phil's clothing. Now that Missa is back, Chayanne's secondary may start to change into a purple/blue or, after he hatches, he may gain bone markings. Leonarda: Unfortunately most of her design comes from Foolish, such as her webbed feet, finned tail, and gold and silver coloring, the best I could figure out to add some of Vegetta's influence was to have the silver be more purple than the blue that Foolish has.

Ramon: Honestly just made Ramón shades of brown since I couldn't figure out much colorwise form Fit. However he does have other features such as a longer tail than most of the eggs, plus he is also the largest of his siblings. His iconic mustache is also made up of his larger spots, which he uniquely has white spots over top of the brown ones.

Dapper: Dapper was also an easy egg design since Bbh is his only parent, so I gave him the typical black and red palette as well as a longer tail with long fur coming from the bottom. His design might change a bit as I eventually figure out my design for Bbh.

Richarlyson: I'll be honest, I kinda gave up, I don't really know enough about the brazilian streamers to add any specific feature, so for color he is made up of a light green with alternating yellow and a dark green. He is also the only egg with spines running down his back, however they aren't sharp at all yet.

Pomme: While Pomme also has the problem of having many parents, I've seen her the most around Baghera, who has a very distinct look. So because of this, Pomme has many duck features, such as tail feathers, pin feathers on her arms, webbing between her toes, an extra talon on the back of her heel, and her main scale color being a more pastel yellow. For main colors, I decided to take the main color from the other french members, make the pastel, and have them alternate on Pomme.

Tilín: Like father like son, Tilín is, or at least would have been, very blue. He doesn't have any duck features due to his death being so early and that I also haven't decided if I want Quackity to be an avian or not. Tilín is also the smallest egg. :)

JuanaFlippa: Once again, due to dying so early, she wasn't able to develop a lot of traits or color. The traits she did get was a longer tail and she would've been a light green with yellow accents.

Trump: Unlike Tilín or JuanaFlippa who have large cracks in their shells to represent their deaths, Trump's shell has become soft and discolored, to the point his spots' original color cant be determined, to represent his death to neglect. Because of this, his limbs are thinner, tail is shorter and his scales are duller; any possible change in his colors is barely noticeable.

So that plane crash then

I'm sorry if there was additional cutscene I was missing, but I have this problem where I can't watch streams for very long unless I really, REALLY want to, so I wasn't able to watch more than just the crash and a few minutes of aypierre's stream.

Before we proceed: I know nothing about the QSMP, I was just told "oh hey there was a plane crash" and I was like "oh? tell me more" and dove in to investigate. I am DEFINITELY going to be missing a ton of lore for this- I'm sorry, but, again, streams really don't agree with my brain. I will avoid speculating on anything and just give my honest thoughts on the lovely cutscene that played.

On the topic of the cutscene: it was beautifully done! no hate to the animators, I really, really loved it. They did a great job.

now with that...

SPOILERS for the QSMP under the cut! As well as. Cluelessness.

Right. First thing:

MODERN TWIN-ENGINE AIRCRAFT ARE DESIGNED TO BE FLYABLE WITH ONLY ONE ENGINE.

I had to get that out of the way early. What we're shown is a chicken in the sky, which lays an egg that gets sucked into one of the jet engines, damaging it and causing it to flame out.

Uh.

Okay?

So the thing is- again- modern jet engines are actually- designed for that? They're designed to withstand specifically what was shown- Bird strikes are common, and during testing, they have to be able to ingest a frozen chicken (this information may be slightly out of date) and, if not FUNCTION, then at least not. Explode?

So, alright, right off the bat, the engine on the QSMP flight is. Definitely not FAA approved!

It...should not have done that!

But alright, it's minecraft, let's let that slide.

What happens next is- baffling to me. The plane- which appears to still have lift, and critically, the use of one entire engine- then- rolls over and goes into a sharp dive?

Huh????

That doesn't make. Any sense?

Unless the engine exploding severed the flight controls or something, that flight pattern makes. no sense. it. Like that almost looked like a deliberate input from the pilots, there.

Okay and then, the plane's trajectory towards the ground is a classic nosedive, with no attempt by the pilots to pull up at all. Then, the next we see, our new friends are crashed on the island with the Nausea status effect, and I had to stop watching due to the aforementioned Streams Not Agreeing With My Brain Thing

I-?

Okay. So from this we can conclude that either the pilots were able to pull up into a fairly shallow dive at the last second, OR the French streamers are all demigods.

Either works. It's minecraft.

Anyway. I hope you enjoyed these. Disjointed rambling thoughts. It's late and i'm tired, but if I was a lorehound, this would be making me have many questions. This seems...weird, and fishy, and I hope to god it's deliberate, because that'd be super, SUPER cool.

Right, sorry for wading in when I have no idea what's happening! I'll go back to my little corner now.

I hope you...enjoyed?

Just some more QSMP purgatory thoughts and symbolism going into the final 2 days (almost done guys!)

Purgatory being a place to repent for sins and mistakes made for sinners to be given the chance to go to Heaven. Something about the two remaining teams. One team refusing to let go of what happened at the beginning. The other team trying to extend an olive branch (despite the actions of some of their own) but not being trusted. How one team made a home base and the other team has struggled with having a place to stay.

How one team leader wants to win and the other team leader was prepared to sacrifice his team for Green to win if need be. With one leader being known as the Angel of Death and the other leader being the youngest on the server.

How Purgatory is sometimes described as having a cleansing fire for souls, with one team being spawned in the cold and having their name be 'soulfire'.

How the cursed team may have been decided in the Egg Wars. How Blue Team kept to their promise and didn't hurt any statue while Red Team broke the deal and destroyed Green Team's egg statue. How that may have sealed Team Soulfire's fate as the cursed team. They kept to the promise and didn't touch or hurt any egg statue, out of concern that they could possibly be tied to the actual eggs. Yet, the only team to not hurt them may be the only team that may potentially kill all of the eggs if they lose. How Tubbo wants to play fair, wanted to keep things tied to make the cursed team winning thing easier. How he's agreed to things to try and make peace despite his team not being 100% on board. How their lives aren't not more important than the eggs.

Team Bolas may be cursed by the environment, in the sense that they let it get to them. Seep into their minds and drag them away from the safety of the eggs. How Phil is their leader yet he has problems knowing what is real or not, whether or not he is dreaming. How narratively Day 1 may not have been that bad and just exaggerated by Team Bolas (meta wise this can be because many weren't roleplaying, and lore wise it could be the land getting into their head). How they tried to talk on Day 1 but got beaten down, and they began to bite back when multiple olive branches were extended, all because they grew paranoid. How they broke promises yet jump to conclusions about the others. How they just want to survive.

This doesn't mean that this is why a team may be cursed, but more of a potential narrative point as Purgatory is stated to be canon and its effects will have lingering and lasting consequences and results.

Also, please let there be consequences for Purgatory. Even if one egg dies, it has been months, please remind the parents that life is fleeting. Maybe even one of Pomme's 2 lives. If not kill them, have the eggs be scared of their parents on Team Bolas. Have Chayanne and Tallulah see Phil and see the person who destroyed a statue that represented their siblings. Have the eggs see Bolas and hear their cheers as the statue fell. Have Leo look at Roier and see someone who attacked the statue looking like her, not killing it but her fearing that at any point he will turn and drive his sword into her. Have the eggs be hurt and damaged from every blow that was done to their statues, scared of what their parents have become and what they could do to them. edit: just some general consequences from the top of my head, but not the main focus, as I feel a lot more of Team Soulfire's consequences would be tied more to character relationships, broken trust and lying even among themselves. Though that isn't to say that the eggs will react positively to them either.

honestly i believe the best thing qstudios could do right now in order to mayyybe get a little relief from the oh so horrible onslaught of criticism towards them for their shit labour practices, is to actually close the server (for real this time) until they truely fix their many many many issues.

first of all, it would save them money on those terribly expensive translation costs that stopped them from paying their employees, and secondly it would make it less obvious how fucking empty the server is now and has been for nearly a month. i can think of mayyybe 5 ccs who have logged into the server more than a small handful of times after the server was reopened from their 3 days of "fixing" things, the server is so empty and its honestly a little depressing to try and watch streams from the ccs who are trying their absolute best to not let the server die (surprisingly, quackity isnt one of them)

ofcourse nothing against the ccs who are trying to still stream on the server, but even they are getting on the server less and less. i think theres maybe a month at maximum left in them unless things are actually truly fixed, and even then qsmp will never go back to how it was before (because they wouldnt be allowed to mistreat their workers anymore).

YES.

Closing the server would allow them to save money on translations, and to focus their human resources and time on fixing the situation. It also would makes them look like they take the situation seriously and prioritise solving problems over creating content. Also would make the eventual reopening and return of ccs/admins a big hyped and positive event.

Leaving the server open just makes you look bad because instead of ccs not joining because it’s close, they don’t join because they choose not to. Those who still join are joining to an almost empty server and aren’t having the best time because there isn’t much to do or anyone to talk with. Plus it makes people bitter because they’re trying to fill that emptiness by having npcs around after Q said in his stream that there would be no npcs while things are getting worked on.

Don’t get me wrong there may be reasons for them leaving it open like allowing the Minecraft focused ccs to create content, not wanting to close it right after adding new ccs and communities so they don’t drop the qsmp altogether, or even some technical stuff idk how running a mc server works tbh. But yeah it’s just giving ghost town vibes like that’s just sad, man.

And yes, there is no point hating or judging the people who still log on because the CCs aren’t the ones responsible of this whole mess. They’re not the ones who mistreated the admins or allowed it to happen, so we should focus on the real culprits and the problems they caused. You’re allowed to have your personal opinion on this, I have my own, but let’s be respectful 🫶

Entry number ??? A sign that I'm still watching qsmp tubbo :')))

RIP my sleep schedule, I woke up at 12 am to see British streamer in qsmp purgatory and had work at 8 am (damn you, timezone). This once VOD watcher had ascends to stressed and sleepy live watcher. And I blame Tubbo's streak thingy bc I got interested in that. And yes; I'm very biased in qsmp blue team. My pocoyo profile pic should tell you that. I may like many others like qPhilza, qJaiden, qFit, qBagi but I don't really like qsmp red team for their toxicity and stay on my qsmp blue team lane. (I'm barely awake enough to even send hateful stuff, and I'm not really someone who likes to argue with people (tap that block or mute button if you don't like to keep seeing them people!)

In that D1 Purgatory; they were divided into three groups. Red, Blue, and Green. If I'm correct the order of the team announcement was Blue first, then Red, and Green at last.

Red team spawned in a Tundra, if I'm correct, which is not bad, or not good either. They had problems with water since the beginning (and half of them are literally not online). And Green team spawned in a Bamboo forest, and had access to water, very much directly, making them the most profitable spawn of the three.

Now, blue team spawn was literally in Ice biome, which the place that supposed to be the utmost bad in Dante's inferno, and most of them can be categorised as such without doubt. Their team literally filled with people who hated eo before this purgatory arc, unlike other team, sounds like a cursed team requirements don't you think so?

First row of cubitos we seen on the blue team announcement literally said that. There was qTubbo with his whole scheme ready to fight & not to mention the distrust people had for him. qPierre, which from what I gather had a bit of operation with Cucurucho. qTina, which is a demon who disguise as a cat(?). qPac, freshly from the nether before the event started. qBBH which was literally kidnapped a fed worker.

The second row was qLuzu, which had connection with Arin & codes (?), sadly for qLenay, qNiki, and qRivers I haven't seen a stream of them, but both came from the ice prison. qPol was the one directed the ads for federation, and probably a traitor or so. I remember that people use to analyse the video or so. qMariana, though was literally chucked to lore by codeflippa, and qMissa is our sopping wet cat dad that clutch us up, and is apparently a grim reaper too, like qBBH.

The problem in this team is not only just spawn point, but also unlike the other two teams who look at eo and say "yep, in these two weeks I'm gonna be with this guy & I need to made friendship", their first thinking was just resources and individuality first. They were all the people who didn't trust too much. And insanely smart and tactical about it too. They were cautious, can fade to the background when needed, and bunch of geniuses who can be threatening when they want to be.

It all proved when they were asked to choose a leader, and they all first wanted themselves on it. They all got swayed with qTubbo being the leader though, because he's the Youngest (JK, I'm sure they think it was the best choice to have him leading them). Then the blue name problem; SoulFire team. I'm not sure who suggested it first, but maybe qLenay? Or qMissa suggested that, I need to check other vod first. (Update : It was qBadboyhalo with the soul vulture lore, cuties. Really,.)

qTubbo really made the team worked well, and in a sense of distributing leadership to other people and such. You can literally see it working together nicely, and I genuinely admire qTina for being the best co-leader. When qTubbo(?) ask her where everyone go in day 1 or 3(?) She knew where they are. She's a queen & singlehandedly revolutionise food in this purgatory. Ms. Teanakitten is one of the best of the best, ladies. Write that one down in the history.

And qBadboyhalo and qPierre! They immediately dropped down the vendetta, working together to win! What a turnaround this is. And they worked well together too! when qPac is back, its getting good and good too! Not to mention, the rest of the SoulFire team too! qPol, qMissa, qNiki, qLenay, qLuzu, qRivers. You're all amazing, and the admins knew that you're all be unbeatable.

I fear I'm writing too much but this is nowhere near my thoughts of how the gameplay work, but fuck it, I'm gonna make so many post and drink water to keep the sleepiness away woo!

P.S qsmp admins, you guys are the best

P.S.S Yeah, people needs to appreciate team SoulFire more, and I want to make a post about it too!
