QUOTEV UPDATE

I'm honestly really proud of the q community people have come together and are working on alternatives, so for those of you who are wondering in general what's going on, here's a little rundown of discord servers quotevians have created, what happened, and what's next.

What Happened?

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Q mods are going to change their decision to remove the group, feed and message functions. These changes will come into effect July 1st, so there is time to archive and save what you need to.

There is a lot of discourse and theories going around as to what caused this, a common one is that a user threatened to attack the white house, and caused the feed to go down, but Q mods have confirmed that the changes have been in the works for months.

Why are these changes being made? No one really knows why the Q mods are making this decision, from the official news statement on Quotev, it said the group, feed and message features are being removed due to no one using them, but I'm calling bullshit because the vast majority of it's active userbase was either on there to socialise and roleplay.

According to the Q update announcement, there will soon be the option to download groups and messages, however the mods have not given us an exact date as to when this feature will be available, so if you have stuff to save, start doing so now.

What's Next

For the time being, many Q users are beginning to save and archive roleplays, messages, plots, ect. There are a few sites they're doing this on.

Discord

Discord has many features that make it convenient to save work, however on discord only text can be saved. If you are going to use discord to save, I would suggest creating your own personal server, and sorting stuff into different categories, and then placing things relavent to each category in channels.

Tumblr

Tumblr users are allowed to have various blogs which makes it a good option for anyone looking to preserve things like roleplay groups. However to my understanding there are daily post and blog limits, which might drastically slow down the archiving process. If you are going with tumblr as your option, then you are permitted up to 10 secondary blogs per day, and 250 posts per day per blog. Creating a blog is as simple as going to accounts and clicking the new blog option.

Google Docs

For those of us who roleplay on Q, this update is going to hit particularly hard. There hasn't been any official confirmation of journals being removed, however I and many other Quotevians are not trusting the mods, and are backing up journals. Google Docs is the best place to do this if you want to maintain any aesthetic layouts. Whilst it won't accommodate every layout, it does provide an easy and quick space to save journals. If you have a google account then docs should be available to you.

Archiving aside, there are talented Q users looking into creating a website similar to Q, which may be where Q survivors will migrate to. I don't know when the site will be up as of now, but I will post updates when they are available.

Discord Servers

If you were on when the first plane hit then you would have seen the link I posted to the initial survivours group. Since then various servers have been created, so here's a rundown of them and the links to join.

Luneris

This is where the Q user who is looking into creating an alternative site is taking suggestions. I believe it's the largest server so far. On it there will be updates and there are many Q survivours congregating together. https://discord.gg/U6spt44E

Quotev Hub

This is the server that Q users on discord are using as a makeshift Quotev. It's basically the Discord Quotev server. It's the largest Q server I've found. https://discord.gg/ZJFDNE67

Quotev Survivors

This is the original server I shared. It's gained quite a few members and is being set up as another Discord Quotev. https://discord.gg/5qK7REz2

Qcord

This is one of the smaller servers, but I'm including it incase you want to make sure you're in every server like I am. https://discord.gg/SbYkaD4D

Quotev Roleplayers

This is where roleplayers are gathering. If you want to advertise roleplays or discuss them, I would go here since it's aimed for that purpose in particular. https://discord.gg/jNp9D9Ma

That's all the updates I have for now. I know alot of us are freaking out and panicking, but just know you're not alone, and us Quotevians are going to get through this together.

Rest in Piss, Quotev (2010 - 2024)

🥺😭🥺😭🥺😭

You haven't had a rest for three years. How are you holding up?

"It's a matter of motivation. I want to live the way I want. No one has the right to take that away from me by force. Unfortunately, great people have given their lives to preserve this freedom for their loved ones and family. That inspires me."

Sorry if my question seems off-topic, but a few years ago you became known for making people laugh. Do you think you can make them laugh again one day?

"(He smiles.) Why do you think that's an inappropriate question? That's a very good question! (He thinks) In all honesty, I think it will depend on the person inside me. This war has an impact on all of us… If I don't lose who I was inside, then yes, anything is possible. Now, it's very difficult."

--------------------------------------

Night air never tasted so fresh. Yusei stepped out of the cave mouth, silence and brisk cold greeting them. Strangers on the outside would never guess the contrasting chaos happening within this giant gravemarker.

Kalin began to stir, hands trembling against Yusei's torso, "Wh... what..."

"We're out." Yusei offered a steady hand, letting Kalin find his footing. Vision came into focus. The vastness of the desert against the night sky compared to the dimly lit caves gave him whiplash.

Kalin turned and grabbed Yusei's jacket collar, "I told you to leave me!"

He struggled against his grip, "I won't let my friend wither away in this hellhole!"

"I'm already dead!" Gravel shifted under their weights.

"Thyme isn't causing a riot just for you to throw this chance away!"

"Why do you always play hero! Not everyone needs you to save them! I certainly don't!"

The gravel beneath them gave way. Both men found themselves tumbling down the hill, definitions of sky and land blurring indistinguishably. Rocks tore at anything it could snag itself against. Blood and cloth left a faint trail as the two finally slid to a stop at the base. Yusei rose first, shaking rocks from his hair. He offered a hand to Kalin, who swat it away.

A sea of wood stopped any attempts at verbal fights. Pole markers with discs haphazardly wrapped against them. Wind carried dust towards the two; Kalin could've sworn he saw faces in the gusts.

"Graves..." the former Enforcer leader sunk to his knees, "I killed these men."

"These men are victims of the corruption in town." Yusei stood back, "You're a victim to their whims, too."

"I beat them in duels. I sent them here to die." Fingers dug into the earth, trembling with sadness and anger. "Every choice I make is laced with destruction. If I don't kill myself, I kill those around me."

"Kalin-"

"I remember everything, Yusei!" He looked back, tears in his eyes, "I killed all those people. I almost destroyed the world.... for what? A pathetic excuse of revenge?" He clutched his chest. "I meant what I said... leave me. Let fate determine my punishment."

Faint footsteps pulled the men from their thoughts. They turned, finding Yusei's runner being pushed uphill by two children.

"Nico! West!" Kalin rose to his feet.

Their faces lit up. West ran and hugged Kalin's leg, "You're okay!"

"It's dangerous here, what are you doing?"

"Returning your runner. You can use it to escape." West looked up, "You're our best shot at saving our dad and this town."

Their dad? Yusei looked at Kalin for his reaction. A faint light had returned to his eyes- a spark of hope? Remorse?

Nico clasped her hands together, "Where's the other one in your group? There were three of you, right?"

"Thyme caused a distraction so we could get away." Yusei placed a hand on his runner, "We're getting out of here. They know how to find us."

West's hug around Kalin tightened, "But... you're gonna save everyone first, right?"

The men exchanged glances, silent hesitation saying enough. Where would we even start? There's too many.

Nico made a fist, visibly shaking, "So you're leaving?! You cause this huge uproar and leave everyone to suffer the consequences? What about our dad? What about everyone else trapped here?"

"No, it's-"

"Cowards!" She cut Yusei off, hitting his arm. "We believed in you!"

Kalin placed a hand on West's head. "... we'll find your dad."

"Kalin-"

"Yusei, we have to."  

For a brief moment, Yusei saw the spark if his former leader return to Kalin's eyes. A silent nod of agreement. If it means you'll choose to live, I'm with you.

Enough of a distraction had been made. Red bandanas scattered- some shooting at escapists, others focusing fire on the current threat. Some of the runners had been caught, though, bringing the deflected reinforcements back with full force.

A bullet grazed Thyme's cheek, blood seeping almost immediately. "Hey! This marker's vintage!"

"So are you!" More shots.

"Careful where you shoot! I'm expensive!" They quipped back, dodging the barrage. The corner they found themself in only had one way out.

Running out of options. Thyme propelled themself up to the third floor, using the last of the water to do so. They have to be out by now, right?

A decrepit mining cart greeted them. Thyme pressed against the rusted metal; wheels squeaked to life. Without a moment to consider where this track could lead or if this cart would survive, they hopped inside. A minute passed when the sounds of duel runner engines gave away their pursuers.

"Get back here!" The driver increased speed, slowly gaining on the cart.

Thyme felt a breeze. Eyes adjusted to the light, allowing them to see the tunnel exit. Ahead, the track turned sharply to the left. Maybe if I-

Hands grasped the rusted and damaged brake lever. Sparks flew from the grinding of metal on metal. Thyme made the turn as the lever snapped from its place. The pursuers didn't see the turn in time. Like meteors streaking the night sky, they shot out from the cliff. Any fight against gravity is one to be lost. The fireball from their crash briefly illuminated the base of the mountain.

The cart began to wobble, threatening to collapse at this speed. Thyme kept the lever in their hand as they jumped over the cliffside. Lost in freefall, they managed to bury one end of the lever in the cliffside. Dirt and shale rained down below. The strain against Thyme's arms and shoulders was painful, but better than dying.

A cry from below, "Thyme!"

Twenty feet below, they spotted their team... with children? The called down, "Found you!"

"Let go!" Kalin positioned himself beneath them.

Concern in Yusei's eyes as he mirrored Kalin's position, "What?"

"The slope's angled just enough- you'll be fine!"

"If you say so." Thyme adjusted themself, "Break my fall, yeah?"

"Just get down here!"

Shale and stone slid beneath their feet as Thyme descended the mountain. Kalin was right- the cliffside was slanted enough. However, without the lever from before, they now had no way to slow down. Yusei sensed this, bracing himself for impact at the base. The two collided, force sending him on his back as the two slid several feet. Arms tightened around them in a protective embrace.

A groan as Thyme pushed themself up, "Thanks."

"Always." He caught his breath, eyes blinking away the settling dust. Yusei let his gloved hand caress their cheek, finding the still seeping bullet graze, "You're bleeding."

A shrug, "Yeah, some of those shots were real."

"Thyme-"

"I'll be fine," they helped him to his feet, a quick kiss placed over his fingers, "Let's get out of here."

Ground beneath them shook, pulling the team from their conversations. Revs of engines and beams from headlights made themselves known.

"I thought I smelled trouble!" Lawton and his goons made a triangle pattern coming up the hills, "Get 'em!"

Yusei rushed to his runner, "Get the kids to safety, I've got this!"

Thyme reached out, "Yusei-"

"I'll find you!" he donned his helmet and sped off.

No other options readily available. Thyme, Kalin, Nico, and West ducked into the tunnels. Breath ragged and heavy as they tried to outrun inevitable machinery. All their trust, their hope, placed in Yusei once again.

Lawton's brakes rumbled as he stopped for the red runner in front of him. "Got something to say? Or are you here to surrender?"

"Are we gonna duel or what?!" Yusei spun a smoke cloud with his back tire before speeding off in the opposite direction. Take the bait. I'm right here.

Rumbles in the earth as Lawton's heavy machinery took off after him. "Get back here! You too chicken to face me like a man?!"

Dumbass.

Hollow mine tunnels had just enough space for the battling runners. Speed World 2 took effect, locking the two into their duel.
