I wanna talk about my view on Watchers and also where admins fall into place

There are two main types of Watchers, one type are more commonly known as “Viewers”, all they do is watch things unfold for entertainment

The other type are the ones that make said entertainment, groups like Noxcrew, noName, ETC

So where do admins come into play? My thought process is anyone with abilities normal players dont have, means they have some sort of magic.

Some Admins are your typical watchers, others are normal players who were gifted some Watcher magic. So that way theyre able to make sure games go smoothly/stories progress how they should.

To me it just makes moments where people need to fix things, or put a command in chat for something, just a bit more fun. Anytime someone does anything admin related, its just Watcher magic.

PLUS THIS DOESNT INTERFERE WITH ANY CANON (i think) AND IT MAKES SOME HEADCANONS FIT BETTER

For example the headcanon that Scott purposely disobeys and doesnt listen to the Watchers in charge of the Life Games. Why? Because he actively works with Watchers who arent awful.

This also doesnt interfere with Martyns lore (correct me if im wrong). For example Watchers feeding off of the negative energy because they really like how it tastes. Having there be multiple groups of Watchers doesnt have to change that.

Personally I like thinking that the Watchers from Evo and the Life Games are very old fashioned. Sure any Watcher can feed off of negative energy, but alot dont because they value their players.

Maybe im missing some information but anything Martyn has said (his canon or his headcanon) doesnt get affected by this idea.

I just love the concepts of Watchers in general so yes i will try to make it fit everywhere I can, its fun for me. Obviously im not saying you have to agree, this is just my little headcanon that i like thinking about

[swordswoman97]

So with Rats In Paris (which I will call RIP for short) coming sometime this fall, I thought I'd put together a post including all the information officially revealed about the smp, mostly in streams plus a couple things Apo said in the POW Discord

-Per Owen's stream today only one person from the original cast has said no so far, they are still waiting on responses from a couple people, but most of them have said yes.

-Jimmy has said on stream he won't be in RIP due to disliking the Chisels and Bits mod, so unless he said that on stream before actually getting back to Owen and Apo the one who said no is most definitely him.

-Viewers will NOT need to watch Rats S1 to understand RIP, it is its own stand alone story.

-Owen and Apo will both be playing completely new characters. Owen refused to say for sure on the others all he said are some people are still trying to decide.

-Oli, when asked about his character said he might play a new character but "probably Garbo rat"

-RIP will be "longer than the two months" though Owen could not say how long exactly.

-There will not be an Eiffel tower, it is apparently copyrighted. NoName was not willing to risk it.

So You Want to Get Into Pirates SMP…

Do you enjoy dark fantasy series with intensive worldbuilding? Heart-wrenching character arcs and dynamics? Or do you just like cubitos goofing off or flirting with each other and/or NPCs while going on silly quests looking for treasure? We've got the SMP for you!

Pirates SMP was a whitelist-only, modded roleplay MC SMP hosted by POWCreations (Apokuna and OwengeJuice) in collaboration with noName Ideas, and was run from July 30th to December 10th, 2023.

This post covers an introduction to the worldbuilding, the POV characters, and the main server events. Follow-up posts will cover recommended POVs based on character lore intensity (hard/soft and frequency), how accessible those POVs are, plotline-based recaps, and general fandom resources.

Introduction

Here's the gist of the worldbuilding: the series is set in Ecclesiae Sea, a region surrounded by an extensive wall of ice that won't be discovered until a few weeks into the series. In the heart of the Ecclesiae Sea are the Faction Isles, AKA the Pirate Isles, where the pirates are split into four factions:

Herons: They value exploration and discovery. Some members play the seeker archetype who search for the truth, while others may be explorers, historians, scientists, and/or academics. At their worst, they can be arrogant and a bit snobby, and have been accused of historical revisionism for their own benefit (this is never proven in canon).

Kestrels: They value luxury and are basically the materialistic rich people faction. They like their cash money and appreciate people with the ambition to earn that cash money, and tend to be self-serving. At their worst, they don't care about people around them and can be quite classist, except they make the capitalism funny in the "comically evil" kind of way.

Kites: They value strength in combat and are the type of people to fight god whenever things go wrong. Like the Kestrels, at their worst, they don't care much about the people around them, not even in their own faction.

Nightingales: They value adventure and the friends they make along the way, i.e. they're the found family faction. Most people like the Nightingales, but they are capable of being horrible people at their worst. Some people look down on the Nightingales for being the "softie" faction, and there are jokes about them trauma-bonding over terrible pasts – yes, in canon, and according to cc!Apo, "they're not wrong".

Beyond the Faction Isles, there also exist rogue pirates unaffiliated with any of the four factions, some forming unaffiliated factions of their own, others preferring to sail with their ships and crews alone.

In short, it's Sea of Thieves meets Divergent, except dark fantasy and in Minecraft. The exact nature of the dark fantasy in the worldbuilding (i.e. what series it's similar to in that aspect) is a spoiler for the biggest plot twist in the series, so I won't elaborate on that unless anyone asks/DMs me.

After choosing a faction on their first day, the pirates go on quests to get gold and treasure to upgrade their gear and ships by trading with NPCs. Naturally, there are supernatural evil forces at work that are threatening the pirates' way of life forever, so in the greater server lore, it's their job to figure out what's up. Outside of that, though, many POVs have individual character lore and their own stories to tell.

Annotation: The NPCs mentioned above are usually run on an AI chatbot outside of intensive lore moments, where they would be played by inactive server members or admins. These AI-based interactions play little importance in most plotlines and are generally skippable (as mentioned, actual lore interactions are player-based). However, they are involved in a few unavoidable character dynamics in individual character plotlines. I'll tell you ahead of time whenever these interactions are important.

POV Characters

You might know some of the content creators involved on the server already, so I'm listing them by faction, taking note of their RP character names (if they have one) and pronouns, and when their POVs start because a handful of the POVs start later than Day 1.

Do I have to watch all the POVs to understand the storyline?

For the overall server lore, absolutely not! The event livestreams cover what you need to know:

Day 1 / July 30: The Factioning, or SMP Launch Day

Day 36 / Sept 3: In Too Deep – Chapter 2 starts here; foreshadowing up to this event starts as early as Day 26 (Aug 24) from Scott and Owen POVs, but they recap all the foreshadowing in that day's livestream to get everyone up to speed

Day 76 / Oct 13: The Rescue Mission – foreshadowing up to this event starts as early as Day 59 (Sept 26) from Owen POV, but many of the POVs involved are entwined with foreshadowing, so I'd recommend which POV you should watch for this event on a case-by-case basis; the event is technically skippable as a few people missed this event and had the context recapped to them afterward (i.e. at the next event)

Day 77 / Oct 14: The Revenge Raid – Chapter 3 starts here; occurs directly after Day 76

Day 93 / Oct 30: The Halloween event – this is a NoName event and has very little impact on the greater storyline, and can be skipped in the context of the overall server lore, but is a good watch for individual characterization and lore if you're into that

Day 112 / Nov 18: Final Wishes – Chapter 4 starts here; the plot twist in the event is later adapted into a special lore quest and is completed/revealed in some POVs AFTER Day 112 (since they couldn't make it to the event), and Martyn's Issue 3 of the Noisy Parrot newspaper also gives a summary of the revelations for those unable to complete the quest in time as a second backup option

Day 134 / Dec 10: The Finale

For individual character lore, you can just stick to a main POV and go from there. My recommended watch pattern is picking an individual character POV to go with the server lore all the way through, especially due to how server and individual character lore can often happen in the same livestream, so sticking to a singular POV to start out would give the most context.

For episode-watchers, I highly recommend watching the occasional casual VOD as well, because I've seen a few episode-only fans (for both Martyn and Owen, who currently have the most complete adapted series) say they're feeling a bit lost because they don't understand some of the background lore that contextualizes the situation.
