#qsmp voting

[echo600]

I saw some people questioning why the not stealing forniture was more important than the ban mine in the voting sistem, so here is my perpective as a brazilian who watches mostely Forever and the other latinoamerica streamers.

So first of all, some of the characther have spended a long time decorating, Cellbit for example has spended 2-3 months decorating his castle, and now he started decorating the Order again after a LONG time, of course no one would want it to be gone.

Two every one who has a base, has decorated at some point, and was really proud of it, the forniture and the decoration in general make every thing more pretty, stealing it ruins every thing.

Three the person that has stell in the past (Q!BBH), has ruin it for the people and made them mad, i see this as not so diferent than exploding someone's house, of course it is more extreme and dangerous, but it ruins the building as well.

And last but not least, a rule is created when someone does something that bother the people, just like Q!Cellbit said, if the people is bothered by Q!BBH stealing forniture than a rule will be created just to stop him, its not unfair, is pretty fair actualy, he has a problem and the people want him to get treatemant for that problem, is better for every one.

I get that mines risk the eggs life, but at the moment it doesn't bother the people more than stelling forniture, because it is something that has being building up in the past few months, beside most of the ilanders don't want mines to be disabled, so maybe the best thing is just nerf them or crate a mine just for pranks that expledes people but doesn't harm them, but again i don't think it will be voted because people want chaos and destruction, and it is good for the series :) (and all of the player are thinking more metagaming than in actual charather, except BBH who is the only one thinking in character for now)

All of this chaos got me thinking a lot, i do want every thing to be fine and better to every one to trust each other again, but this is why the chaos need to happen to make thing more intresting for the series, and when we finally have it it will be way more rewarding.

Baghera asked for fairy lights

Talullah wanted fairy lights

Pomme made q!forever promises her he would add fairy lights (he said he would get "on the way back from the mall" though)

There is soo much anticipation

I NEED FAIRY LIGHTS TO BE ADDED PLEASE

[ohits-starflower]

Baghera has been BEGGING for fairy lights and forever brushed her off initially.

I want them to add it!! I understand tubbo but like honestly? Create/machines has caused so many issues and been nerfed and reverted, I think we need a silly & small (not super crazy) to ease into the voting system.

I also agree with we need 2 voting systems. One for really big changes and mods and one for small silly stuff. So people can still get their opinions in without having to sacrifice stuff.

Guys I’ve got my “I voted” pin, I am ready, I am good

…Y’know when my boy Gegg died I was devastated, in shock, flabbergasted one might say and I didn’t know where I’d go from there, I mean Gegg?? Gone?? No, impossible, improbable, inconceivable!!

Alas I needed to vote for another, something I had only considered in passing and had never really found a true footing in

If not Gegg then who?

Who could possibly even attempt to fill the shoes of our rightful president?

After much back and forth, consideration, decisions, and then uno reversing said decisions, I finally picked

I even used my scarce stash of those little note paper things I can’t remember the name of rn

Anyway QSMP introduced me to Forever, I love him as a content creator and character and I wish him the best of luck (Insaneduo 2023)

(Good luck to Bad too tho, I consider him one of my mains and would be rlly happy if he wins too)

I VOTED!!

[theminecraftbee]

for anyone wondering where i've been: i got... distracted... by a potential huge project. I was considering running a mcrp project/smp project, inspired by stuff like fan life series servers, with the rest of the sexyman team! but... a different one. a very specific one, even.

now, I'm aware there are probably outstanding questions, so if you're uncertain, please read more event/server details below the cut and see if it interests you!

I don't know anything about Survivor–what would this show even be like?

so if you know nothing about survivor, it's easy to think it's a show about surviving on a deserted island. it is that, but it's not mainly that. survivor, at its heart, is a social deception game, about making close alliances, betraying people, and social dynamics under pressure–hence why i suspect it would be a great fit for mcrp.

the way the show would be structured is this: a certain number of contestants would be placed on a (slightly modified) survival server, set up to be difficult to survive on. they are placed into two "tribes", the teams for the first half of the show. every episode, they would spend time with their tribes bonding, surviving, searching for secrets, and base building. then, they would compete in challenges. the tribe that loses the immunity challenge must go to tribal council, where they vote on which member to send home. this continues with the tribes eventually merging together into one tribe and immunity becoming individual before there are only two contestants left. at that time, they go in front a jury of their former fellow contestants, who will determine who the sole survivor is.

while challenge performance is one key to winning (as it prevents you from being a target in the first place), the other, bigger key, as you can likely see, is forming alliances and voting blocks strategically to get your opponents voted out and yourself kept in. this makes a great vehicle for social emergent storytelling, where narratives emerge about who is honest, who is a liar, who is good at the social game, who is bad at it, and what people will do in order to become sole survivor.

in other words: it's kind of like what current-day mcrp is ALREADY about. except its a gameshow also, and the very construction of the thing is designed to cause tensions by its very nature.

it's great! and you wouldn't be required to know anything about survivor–our host would explain to the audience all of the mechanics as they came up, as would production staff to the players.

You keep calling it "a show"–what do you mean by that?

the result of this project would be an edited youtube series, like survivor, of likely around twelve episodes. each episode would show footage from the game, as well as a lot of "confessionals" shots of the players explaining their opinions, before ending in tribal council! unlike most mcrp series, this would not be a multiple pov affair. it would be one tightly edited project. (this editing, for the record, is the largest overhead; we expect the amount of footage to go through to end up being in the hundreds of hours combined between all the players.)

it's possible that after the show's finale releases we'll release the players to make their own highlights from any footage they take. but the product we're hoping to make is just a single TV show's worth!

what exactly does applying to be a contestant require?

if we get enough interest, once we have enough of the required plugins and builds created and have a better sense of gameplay, we will put out a casting call form. while this will ask a number of questions to help us get to know you as a potential player, you're going to be REQUIRED to have the following things: a tumblr blog that you can link us to, the ability to record an audition tape in minecraft to send to us (so that we can get an idea of what audio we'd be working with, mostly), enough free time for us to be able to schedule recording sessions into, and a willingness to agree to some rules about keeping things secret until the finale airs and about rp etiquette. that's it! there are no other requirements–you don't have to know survivor, you don't have to already do mcyt or stream, you don't have to have friends, none of it, and while we'll ask you for those details, we're going to be looking for a large blend of people from across mcyt! anyone (who can send us mostly clean audio) can be considered!

EDIT: we would ALSO REQUIRE YOU BE AT LEAST 18. sorry i forgot this before! this is for a number of reasons i don't want to get into, but will be prominent on the actual applications.

what exactly would being a production staff member entail?

we're mainly looking for two things in production staff: a willingness to run replaymod for us and act as cameramen by following contestants around getting footage on the actual recording days, and a willingness to work with us on what's likely to be a fairly intense editing and "scripting" period during and after recording, during which we're going to have to scrub through massive amounts of footage and form it into a coherent narrative. we may, depending on how bad we realize we've bitten off more than we can chew, also end up looking for build team members for the production crew. if these things sound fun to you (they sound fun to me god help me), then go ahead and select this option! just know it's mutually exclusive with playing; no one in the production staff will be considered for the contestants. this includes my friends and myself who've already agreed to help me.

these applications would come out before the casting call, since even before casting call we're going to need to do playtests and dry runs and have things mostly ready. so keep an eye out!

will this be run on your blog?

nope we're going to make a new blog (and youtube channel) (and branding!) for this eventually, just want to interest check before we go through all the branding steps. (also, i've even gotten us a specific gmail for this that we will likely end up using for certain communications.)

for now that's all the FAQ i think that is required. let me know if you have more! and i hope you all are interested in this baby of a project that's taken over my mind for the past few weeks!
