#quick lore drops

"It was our first year competing in the World Rally Championship, and while we may have been a real-deal, point-scoring, factory-supported WRC team, some days it was hard not to fan out. It was surreal to all of us, including Ken, to be hanging in the service area with rally royalty like Petter Solberg, but nothing was more wild than the night we got to party with Kimi and Loeb.

The plan was to have a quick dinner, and get to bed early, as we had an important meeting with Lord March at the Goodwood Estate the next morning. Kimi had other plans, that involved a concoction of vodka, champagne and Red Bull. Let’s just say this recipe thaws out the Ice Man with ease. It also left me, Ken, Ron and Saydah blacked out in the streets of Swansea."

a chaos emerald is a powerful object which holds the key to ultimate power, when in the right hands, they can be used for good, but when in the wrong hands….

now i want you to imagine an “overblot” as a type of super transformation. a super transformation aided by the use of a chaos emerald, an an excessive build up of negative emotions. its easy for those inexperienced with chaos energy to be overcome by its powers..

kids these days just dont know how to respect ancient artifacts 💔

nah, she was for real forced to attack and bring her loving parents into the upside down mess, and essentially kill them. i know that must have been agony for her, to have to watch and be unable to save them.

i havent finished the event yet but what is w tot introducing premises in its events that are ethically complicated and even genuinely dystopian at worst if you think about any of its worldbuilding implications for even just a moment

I feel like a pretty major part of Kaidos lore that I don’t think I ever mentioned is that Irina (his adoptive sister pre-temple) is like. Still alive.

She was away with a friend when Kaidos was taken by the Urge the first time around and killed his parents. After doing that, he fled and so all Irina heard was that her parents were slaughtered and her little brother had disappeared. Of course, she simply assumed a kidnapping over anything else.

She looked for him for ages, but then eventually left Baldur’s Gate to try and search beyond the city since she didn’t actually want to come to terms with the possibility of her entire family being gone.

30ish years later and she still has no new leads, so has by now stopped looking and instead lives up in Waterdeep and will travel down to Baldur’s Gate on the anniversary of her parents’ death + brother’s disappearance.

If she ever had the misfortune of crossing paths with Kaidos again, I doubt she would recognise him anymore anyway.

If she did somehow recognise him, I think Gortash would be GIGA interested in interrogating her about what he was like pre-temple and just generally picking at her brain (literally and not).

So ... QSMP Purgatory huh ...

I had too many thoughts last night to fit in the tags of other people's posts, so I just chucked it all into a draft and polished it up today. Who knows how it'll go from here, everything could change in an instant, but as it stood at the end of yesterday, well ...

It was interesting, because the challenge they were given can be overcome in a way that doesn't follow the eye's wishes. 'Can', being the key word. They've clearly been set up to turn on each other with intent to break the bonds that made them strong. Especially with couples and close friends being split apart like that. They've made it hard for teams to cooperate. However, compromises, workarounds, and cooperation could ensure that the chance of ultimate failure and losing the eggs is minimized. Sharing information, making unified plans, trying to find the cursed team, or find the exit, or find the eggs.

The team I thought most likely to think that way and try new things to get around the system was team red. After all, they did think outside the box with how to get resources and overcome their built in limitations. Why not take that further and think their way out of the situation as a whole? But being hunted for sport while your competition mostly leaves each other alone doesn't exactly allow for that kind of lateral thinking.

So they broke. Understandable.

It was actually so demoralizing watching that happen before it spiraled so far that it twisted around on itself and became utterly hilarious instead. Screaming and singing and dancing around the death pit and the ashes of their own bodies? Fascinating. The surprise lore drops around the 'house' which is only a floor? Fantastic. Funny and oddly touching as they started spilling secrets, no judgements just shocked laughs and a numbed acceptance, to each other in the ruin of what they once tried to build. They 1000% deserve to just go crazy. Do it kings, build that village, become npcs.

(Quick side-bar ... guys, don't you find it odd that our three confirmed avians, Baghera, Jaiden, and Phil, are all on this one team? And two of the three 'odd' tickets, with the only other one being Q himself? It's just strange, it seems significant in a way I can't put my finger on.)

But also. The admin team has done a great job placing clues that all point to blue being the cursed team which Must Not Lose. Great job there, it's a fun little puzzle and just because it looks like people have solved it already doesn't take away from that. We might even be wrong about it, but I hope not, because a good puzzle should be solvable. So ... it's probably team blue. And with certain members of team blue going murder mode and terrorizing team red till they shattered, giving up on points or standings or winning ... that potentially locks it in for them for the rest of the event.

If team red isn't playing by those rules anymore they aren't a threat. And team blue only needs to not be last for the eggs to be saved. Right? Well, done deal. Blue and green can go at it for clout unbothered by red and the threat of true failure. The event might has well have been 1 day. The rest of these two weeks won't matter beyond the lingering effects of personal actions if we truly are going with this format being the majority of the event (and if red truly has been beaten into a pulp).

And honestly ... I'm glad. I'm glad they locked it in. I'm glad team red was so crushed and demoralized that they broke down into madness. Because this is more fun.

Now it's possible that after some sleep red will decide to actually try again .... out-skilled and out-gunned with half their team perma-mia ... or that they'll end up getting member shifted over to make them an actual threat ... but I hope not!

I watch this roleplay server for the stories and drama and comedy. And for the truly beautiful way it has woven together people from different countries and cultures into a close knit group of friends. For the bond forged through joy and terror and loss that made some of these strangers into family. I don't want two whole weeks of sweaty pvp and grinding! Sounds boring. (To say nothing of the jarring tone shift and how it'll change character dynamics after as the memories and guilt and knowledge of how quickly and brutally some of them turned on each other linger.) But you'd best believe I'll tune in to see what these already traumatized people who cracked to pieces do next!

So don't re-balance it admins. Let it ride and let team red do whatever the fuck they want. They earned it. They put in their time being tryhards and it didn't work so fuck it all let's just have fun. Let's go npc madness village! Or whatever new chaos comes next, I'm sure they'll come up with something sufficiently scuffed. Few things are as intriguing and mildly-terrifying as Charlie Slimecicle with 'a plan'.

Go team blue to win the event. Go team red to keep the server fun.

And just as a quick addition ... Charlie summed it all up best. "We were put here to tear each other and ourselves apart ... " "When you guys finally come to your senses ... maybe it'll take a day, maybe it'll take two, but it won't take two weeks. And when you realize what this place is taking from you, you come find us."

Random lore : Samaira and Haleth are the same creature but got there in different ways 

Samaira had the whole "women scorned turns into vengeful monster" arc. Which is one of the ways a woman is said to turn into a daayan or a churel - if she was killed and became a vengeful spirit. (I've also seen this version been used in media a lot) 

Anyways Samaira adapted better to her new abilities and was in control of herself from the beginning, she embraced it. 

Haleth was a little more complicated, she was "tricked" into it by making a deal with an entity she didn't understand. (also I like to think of these entities as morally grey, they have no real malice, they simply are) They were trying to "empower" her but gave her more than she could handle and now she's extremely unstable...
