Wanted to talk about q!Forever and his presidency seen from the pov of someone who mostly experience it from outside percepctive as I'm incapable of understanding Brazilian. SAYING IT RIGHT NOW I'm not here to say q!Forever is wrong or evil (as I'm convinced he is not, no need to come and tell me), this is not what's it's about, this is about how lost he seems when you are looking from the exterior.

So I know drama is brewing because people are fighting over who's right and who's an evil virus of satan, and I don't care, I'm not interested in this. I want to talk about the characters I love, because I love q!Forever, and his story makes me so sad.

I want to explain to those who wouldn't know, I'm a mostly french viewers, I follow Etoiles, Baghz, Antoine, Aypierre and Phil (mostly, I try to follow everyone's storyline and povs), the last two are not important here as Philza doesn't interact with the president storyline at all and Aypierre's involvement can be resumed to "I don't care who's in power and what they do, I'll be nice to them because I want power". But basically what the Forever Presidency feels like is not evil, or corrupted, it feels WEIRD :

Because obviously he is kindhearted, he has saved the eggs multiple times, he has done a lot for the island, and has said multiple times he wants to help everyone, and I believe that. But then in some of his actions and speeches, there is so much stuff that we are weirded out about. First how he told Baghera how he wanted to make everyone vote etc. That's okay, but like she said herself "Well that was my campaign idea..." And that's true, and that was also a thing Him and Cellbit used as way to descend her campaign, so that felt like a light knife in the back. But that's the least worrying thing.

There was then the whole deal where from what I understood he felt betrayed by Baghera and Bad as they didn't share everything and witheld information. And from Baghz pov that felt like it came out of nowhere because... Well she didn't ! That was simply miscommunication. And ensued the whole deal where he talked about how he felt about the arrival of the new people, and how he didn't trust them and didn't want to help them unless they had an egg. That was a weird thing in itself, he is supposed to be the president of the island and he is the one least willing to welcome new people.

There was also the nerfing armor stuff. At first we thought he said that as a joke you know, he is just not saying no to Quackity because that'd be rude. But who in their right mind would do that right ? Right... ? And then yestedray he asks Etoiles to do a debate with Quackity to discuss it and everyone went "Wait, he's actually considering it ?" And that was weird because... Well Forever spends most of his time in his base. Isolated. And when you watch Etoiles you know that even with the strongest suit of armor in the game you CAN die everyday. Is... Is Forever asking for a death sentence ? Has he been living under a rock ?

The last thing was yesterday, when Etoiles wanted to ask him a few things, he arrived when Forever was having a secret discussion with Cucurucho, and he ordered the construction of a prison he would have access to. And THAT was so WEIRD, everyone in chat and in reaction were like "WHAT !!??? WH... WHY ??", and then followed by "could I have a gun to defend myself ?" and everyone went "Oh. He... He doesn't trust us !!!", Etoiles himself went *raises eyebrow*. There is something REALLY going bad with q!Forever. And then he immediatly follows by taking in consideration Etoiles' request to allow Dark Metal for his fight against the code, so he's not evil, he's not corrupted... And that's where I realised what it felt like, it feels like he is lost.

It seems he want to do good, but takes weird unnecessary decisions after weird unnecessary decisions that in most cases fucks over other islanders more than it helps, and the important thing to remember is that he is not doing that purposefully, again it seems he is lost, it feels like he doesn't know what he is doing, because of that people are more wary of him, and it leads him to become more paranoïd and he makes even more bad decisions, wich leads to more people being wary of him and it creates a vicious feedback loop that constantly raises the tension. (also having the big PRESIDENT sign next to his name creates an epidermic reaction in every french that makes us want a revolution /j) And it's so sad because the only exit I can see is for the tension to be released in an explosion, a revolution, and THAT could be interesting because for once neither side is truly evil per say. They can be misguided, but not outright evil. Like Baghera said herself "I... I don't understand where he is going."

What's terrifying is what we foresaw with the election is happening, the islanders are driving themselves apart and turning against each other. I don't think the Federation wants to avoid a revolution, I'm pretty sure they would be rooting for it.

(HOWEVER next time I see someone saying q!Forever is this perfect little guy that did nothing wrong... PLEASE. The guy was vicious during the election arc. With how much misinformation he spread on Etoiles most notably.)

Gegg is my top candidate so far. but there’s many things that could play a factor in my final vote, which I’ll ramble about below :3

Bad, Gegg, and Baghera all have the same pro-council anti-federation stance that I found myself vibing with the most, and they’ve all formed an alliance together. But as an individual, what I think Gegg has that sets him apart + gives him stronger ground to stand on with voting is:

He is the only egg candidate, instant attention grabber. People want to listen to him (read his signs) which is a big benefit in debates

His existence is like a meme, everyone likes memes

He has a very catchy slogan “we are gegg” that has already been established in the community

He is an underdog. His chances of winning are so slim because he’s weak and at constant risk of death that it makes ppl want to support him

He knows what he’s talking about and is super intelligent with his views & goals

Storywise I want to see how the character of gegg/slime would develop in a major role too. Knowing cc!Charlie he could create some interesting future lore beats for us

Now… Gegg is on one life and one small breeze away from death, I have sooo much doubt he’ll survive the elections lmfao. In their pro-council team, Baghera also has one life. The way I see it, with Elquackity’s destruction ramping up, the people already on one life might not make it to the end

That’s why if something happens to those two, q!Bad is my safe vote. He’s proven himself as a strong candidate already, he shares their beliefs, and I have complete faith he would carry on surviving. the guy is a solo tank and constantly overprepares for disaster, no way he’d be caught unawares if it starts getting crazy down in quesadilla island

honestly like, if you asked me what two possible mcyt events could you ever come up with to put communities at each others throats severely, i would've said "election" and "giant pvp event that last multiple days" and it's honestly a little amazing the team didn't see the issues that would so very clearly arise from both of these (though i do think the elections were mostly handled better than other mcyt elections i've seen, most of my issues came down to the way the debates happened, the waaaay too big of a percentage the audience vote had, & the fact the ending date kept being extended). i keep trying to remind myself like things will get better once we move onto a new arc in the server to get over purgatory, and it's been two months...

yeahhh it's like. big moves that frankly from the start we all knew would cause issues. the elections to me was SUCH a red flag like. mcrp elections never go well and it's a miracle they turned out as okay as they did, but the whole process and the aftermath was a bummer and felt deeply unnecessary.

and yeah we've talked about purgatory in gc before but just. i can't even express how awful it was imo and how it continues to fuck the overall narrative as well as individual characters (and the ccs!!). and like you said a huge pvp event (that lasted TWO WEEKS!!!!) with lore stakes makes everyone lose their shit and accuse every other team of being toxic or not caring enough about the nebulous theorized end result-- it was a recipe for disaster, it felt like players were being used to playtest an event, and it was just not fun. like, i loved bolas, im glad they managed to push through it in spite of literally everything, but it sucked so bad several of them had to take long breaks. like, that's not fun.

in general though i am hoping desperately that shit improves, waiting with bated breath for the return of baghera and cellbit (and jaiden and charlie as well eventually!) and for the overall story to feel less railroaded, and i do genuinely want to have hope that it will get better soon. and that they don't pull huge crazy stuff like this again in the future, or at least make it more optional for players to engage with.

#asks #meenah #neg #crit #i really don't enjoy talking so much about stuff i dislike (in this way at least) but its just been killing me for months #i love this server so much. i want it to be good and i want to enjoy it #but if im not having fun with it and i think it has genuine narrative and logistical issues i think thats fair to mention #also i took out so many complaints from this because its just not worth listing every problem i have out #and also you and i have talked about so many of them already lol

So my opinion remains: I can't wait for the election arch to be over.

But as for the votes...

I would have liked President Baghera, I genuinely think she and her council would have been the best option both meta and RP wise, she is really fun and friendly and capable, and very well-liked. But well, she dropped out because of toxic 'fans', so that is the end of that.

If he wants to stay in because he thinks it will be fun then I will support Bad, but to be honest if he does part of me kind of hopes he doesn't ultimately win, and not at all because of Bad himself. It's purely because he's been through enough nonsense with parts of the fandom already and I get the feeling he would never, ever be able to do anything right in their eyes if he won. But I'll support whatever he decides. ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE FEDERATION!

Etoiles is my other choice I think - he is interested in the role, a strong and well liked player, he mixes well with all the players and is very supportive and helpful. Story wise I think he is the 'safest' bet because honestly, I think it would be very difficult to corrupt him at all. I would have similar feelings for Forever, but I would pick Etoiles over him solely because at least from my perspective I get the impression Forever has a little more focus on Brazil and the Brazilian players (which is fair), while Etoiles seems interested in the whole server generally, which just feels better for a multilingual server.

On a completely different note, Elquackity would be the most dangerous winner for everyone but would provide a good central antagonist while protecting the creator somewhat, because he could always come back as Quackity later on. It just depends if he would be willing to play that roll. I could never bring myself to vote from him because it would be terrible for the rest of the residents and the eggs, but he is definitely one of the most interesting options.

Whoops rambled XD Overall though, I am looking forward to this ending 😅

#Some complaining about the toxic 'fans' under the cut just a heads up
