#qsmp eyeball guys

[chamoemileclown]

I'm normally the biggest "little creature on the qsmp" enjoyer but there's something off putting about these guys idk

[shmuzzieheart]

Anyone else getting strong "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" vibes from this whole purgatory event? The eyeball guy is definitely reminding me of AM with his blatant hatred for the islanders, his ability to change the island, strong technological visuals, and the control he has over the islanders themselves, putting them under different effects like dehydration.

Gonna be completely real, I’ve been fairly checked out of the qsmp since Purgatory 1 and one of the main reasons is because the story has felt a significant lack of agency for the players for a while. This has always been a problem for the qsmp to a slight degree but it’s been getting significantly worse.

The eggs get handed the Idiot Ball the most and it just makes me roll my eyes and angry in ways the admins/writers don’t intend. Like Dapper walking into @^@‘s trap even tho there is no way in hell Dapper would be stupid enough to do that. Like Empanada running into the fight over and over again just so she could be killed. These are supposed to be tense moments that make the audience and the players afraid but it just makes me angry because I know this shouldn’t have happened at all. Pretty much every time Dapper has been kidnapped required creative mode or character assassination or both - which isn’t good writing!

And idk what the players are supposed to be doing about the eyeball guys like there are no clues to finding Luffy. The players are literally just waiting for the admins to give them something to work with but all they are getting is eyeball worker attacks and egg deaths. There is nothing they can do to progress the plot except wait for the admins. This is what it felt like after the eggs were “kidnapped”/ran away. This is what it’s felt like since Purgatory 1. It’s been this way for so long and the players are making the most of the scraps they are given.

Idk maybe I’m just lamenting my love for the server… it was never perfect but the story telling just keeps getting sidelined for plot and it’s hard to watch… :/

Over 150 signups, so it's time for me to break out my stats spreadsheet again.

I made it slightly less ugly with conditional formatting, just because I am that way.

Let's do this!

There have been a total of 168 signups as I write this post, since the 18th. The signup form is open for 13 more days!

The most offered gift type remains Writing, with 104 offers, and it's also still the most requested gift type with 161 requests (or only 7 people who've signed up have not opted into fic!)

The most requested server is Hermitcraft, with 105 requests or 63% of all signups, and also the most offered server, with 113 signups, which is 67% of all signups.

46% of all offers have opted into an Other server, and 42% of all requests.

The least-requested server of the main servers is Lifesteal, with 18 requests or only 11% of all signups, but they rise to 18% of all offers, with 30 offers.

There are some interesting stats when you look at the difference between offers and requests, where for example only 86% of people who offered DSMP also requested it. The lowest ratio there is Lifesteal, with only 60% of people who offered Lifesteal also requesting it (30 offers, 18 requests), and the highest is QSMP, at 98% follow through (59 offers, 58 requests).

There wasn't a lot of change in the most-offered/most-requested characters from last time, but as before, there's some interesting things when a most-offered character is not a fandom's most requested. 83% of all DSMP fans offered Wilbur and/or Technoblade, but the most requested character was just Technoblade, at 68% of all requests. Mumbo Jumbo was the most offered Hermitcraft guy (85% of offers), but GoodTimesWithScar was the most requested (69% of requests). Grian was the most offered character for life series (83% of offers,) but tied with GoodTimesWithScar for most requested (both at 68%). Smallishbeans was most offered (82%) and most requested (71%) for Empires, and for Lifesteal ClownPierce was most offered (80%) and Itsubz_ was most requested (72%). For Origins Wilbur was most offered, (91%), but Philza was most requested Origins (84%), most offered QSMP (83%), and most requested QSMP (74%).

Across all servers, Gen remains the most common way to request and offer your block people, with all of these stats being taken off of the gen requests/offers. I have not run all the numbers because that's a lot of nubmers, but just eyeballing it, I'd guess that the fandom most open to NSFW is Hermitcraft/Life Series, with the least NSFW-interested fandom is a tie between origins (very very low NSFW numbers across many characters) and lifesteal (a few characters with decent percentages of NSFW requests, but only a very few characters). With DSMP and QSMP you can see that NSFW numbers are quite low for most characters, and then you get spikes with a few where the characters are in sort of approved relationships. You can also see the ship numbers spike when a character is in a canon relationship, like for example with QSMP Cellbit being at 74% ship (he is canonically married) versus QSMP Niki Nihachu being only 42% ship (she has only flirted)

There have been a total of 12,612 offers and 7,937 requests.

Offers are 62% Gen, 32% Ship, and 6% NSFW, and Requests are 60% Gen, 32% Ship, and 8% NSFW. Notably this means the proprotion of Gen continues to increase, up from 59% Gen the first time I ran these stats.

[hey-i-am-trying]

I don't want to be mean. People are allowed to feel however they want, and I understand some of you want to express this frustation.

But you all need to chill a bit.

cc!Cellbit was not having a good day, maybe because of yesterday but let not be parasocial and not understand there are multiples reasons for him not feeling his best. He rest up and trying to feel better is much more important than QSMP.

It is not also the admins fault. There is probably a reason they are spreed this way, like many other suggested.

Maybe they wanted a team that would be the most likely to look after the secrets of this new island instead to just do what the sexy eyeball(yes, this is how I calling it, sue me) said.

Maybe, the point is that the whole thing is just one big sick game and the winner doesn't matter as much as understanding who the fuck is the sexy eyeball. Maybe they are finally finding the manager duck guy.

Maybe is other reason. I don't know! You don't know!

So, for real, let's prioritize more the feeling of the cc and the admins instead of the made up story of the cube heads, please?

man i hate the qsmp everyone on my dash keeps posting about luffy and my ears perk up like a dog going "one piece? my mutuals posting about one piece? woof woof?" getting all excited and then it's mcyt luffy eyeball guy

[shikai-the-storyteller]

I can't take any of the "bad guys" in QSMP seriously because I see Cucurucho and I just imagine him being the most overworked bastard in the Federation. His workers hate him, the Islanders hate him, his boss hates him, and he hates his job but the benefits are too good for him to quit.

And now we got this weird Eyeball dude watching all the Islanders being chaotic, but not in the way it wants, and I'm just imagining it sitting in front of all those screens with its head in its hands as Cucurucho texts them "I told you so, lmao."

sometimes i forget non qsmp mutuals see my posts

anyways bagel is the guy getting consumed by the SHADOW VIRUS the same one with the EYEBALL next to the sexy bbgirl? thoughts and opinions?

okay also about that fed worker that died to the shadow virus on purgatory do yall also think he was the eyeball guy cus i sorta did like the virus is “fatal” but it morphs you body after death to be some mindless creature with an eyeball for the Watcher branding of course . also like where else would they get a fed worker…… it has to be the same guy right? so all those infected who reach the final stage of the virus are going to become servants for the watcher
