(TW: Blood, vomit)
○●○
Buffer stands in front of the doors leading to the space of the infamous code chemist. The dark magenta doors had chains over them, strung tight with a lock over them.
The Admin approaches and gently touches the lock. Closing her eyes, she digs back through fuzzy memory banks and remembers the code.
She flicks the small latches, and the lock falls to the ground and disintegrates. The chains fall and swing, and they, too, vanish. The doors creak as they slowly swing inwards, and Buffer steels herself.
She walks in, and the doors slam behind her. A familiar layer of pink mist covers the foyer of the castle-like space. Grandiose and imposing, with the ceiling arching into a dome. Various symbols and patterns were etched into the walls, a language only those well versed could know.
This was Pink's domain of the space that she and her group owned. It was far more empty than she remembered.
Buffer drags her fingers over the pillars as she walks, the pink mist gently swirling around her ankles. Her hair bounces with each step, similar to the Admin she helped all those years ago.
Years she couldn't remember all too well, but it wasn't like it mattered. She needed to get that formula.
“I know you're here, Pink,” Buffer calls out as she pulls away from the pillar. She comes to stand in between two staircases that lead up to the second floor. “And I know that you know I'm here and why I'm here.”
She starts to ascend the staircase, holding out her hand. “Why? Why would you do this?” She frowns, clenching her hands as she looks up at the ceiling. “So many Programs are sick because of what you released! So many of my friends are sick! What compelled you to do this?"
Tumblr media
Silence is her answer.
She reaches the top of the stairs and looks around. It was eerily quiet. She couldn't even hear Pink's Moderators.
Buffer takes a few more steps before she hears footsteps behind her. She whips around, eyes wide, to spot-
“Green,” she speaks, voice soft. Green was Pink's lover and a fellow Admin. Somehow, he was capable of conjuring the things Pink would need to make her substances.
Green stares at her, his body lax. He approaches, his footsteps louder than her own.
“G-Green?” Buffer stutters, backing away.
In a few short moments, Green was directly in front of her, towering over the young Admin. She flinches, looking up at his unreadable expression. His face is blank. Different from the past.
At least, she thinks so. Memories regarding him tend to be fuzzier than most, third only to her memories to Pink, which was second to her.. memories of her time here in general.
He reaches out a hand, and Buffer flinches. Is he going to hit me? What is he-?
Green's hand gently grabs a moderate strand of her hair, slowly running his fingers through it before stopping at the ends. The ends were a soft pink. (A pink Buffer never really remembers changing them to.) His brows were furrowed now, eyes narrow. He almost seems to be.. studying her.
He moves his hand away, letting her hair drop back into place. He mutters something under his breath. She only catches the “... you” part, though.
“Green?” Buffer blinks, utterly confused.
The Admin merely turns on his heel and walks off, heading towards the darkness that consumed the opposite end of the hall.
“Wait, Green!” Buffer calls, rushing after him. Despite the distance between them not being that large, Buffer couldn't catch him. Green was just barely out of reach, and soon, he walked into the darkness.
The younger Admin stops just at the edge, staring, confused. She couldn't even hear his footsteps anymore. Her logical processors were telling her none of this made sense and that she should just turn around, head to the laboratory, and grab the cure that she knew was there.
And yet, her curiosity nags her on. She wants to know what happened. What happened to Pink and her Moderators? Why was Green acting like this?
She inhales deeply and heads into the darkness. She feels on edge, but that's to be expected. There was something deeply wrong here. Green, as quiet as he could be, always answered her whenever she had questions, even if they were short or bullshit answers.
Steeling her nerves, she walks deeper and deeper into the darkness. It clings to the walls like moss-
Moss? Why did she make that comparison? Why would she-
Splash!
She flinches, stiffening. She slowly looks down, lifting her foot. She feels sick to her stomach to see blood mixed with moss swirling at her feet.
For a moment, her processor considered it to be Green's blood before it hit her. This was orange blood. Her heart drops.
Did.. did Orange get hurt? She thinks, slowly setting her foot back down and cringing at the small splash it makes. Why is there even moss here? I remember Pink hating that stuff..
She continues onward, her shoes splashing in the orange blood. She shudders at the noise, and a feeling of dread pools deep inside of her. This blood wasn't fresh at all, and yet it hadn't congealed or dried.
Her eyes flick to the bits and pieces of moss floating in the blood. Could it have something to do with that?
Buffer stops in front of a door. Looking down toward the bottom, she winces. “That's where the blood must be coming from,” she whispers, seeing the blood at a greater quantity there.
Reaching out, she grabs the door knob and twists it, swinging the door inward. “What is Green doing, heading into a place like this?” She murmurs, walking inside.
She jumps as the door slams shut behind her. She looks down and pales.
There was no blood. But an abundance of moss, that was all shades of green. Specks of orange littered the moss that coated the floor. (She couldn't help but notice how the specks of blood were the same shade as her own, and not Orange's. Orange's blood was a tad darker.)
Swallowing thickly with a now trembling body, Buffer continues forward, heading deeper into the room. A room she remembers well. While it was devoid of life, she saw the familiar work benches, large test tubes, and vials scattered about.
She walks over to one work desk and glances upward.
There was the balcony where Pink would watch Buffer work whenever the Admin had a test.
Looking back down, Buffer falters, seeing several text boxes. If she remembered right, Pink never took notes. The Admin merely committed everything to memory. Buffer was the one who took notes due to her poor memory. (But it was odd since she never needed to take notes in the Adminspace.)
She grabs one text box and reads.
Log #3
Another failure! I've failed again! This damned moss, where did it even come from?! Green can't figure it out either! We're all stumped!
It took her from me.. her smile.. her laugh.. the only one who truly knew and understood what we did here.. I can't lose her. I need to know what this moss did to her.
Buffer quickly clambers onto the table, staring at the moss on the floor. Though her eyes soon narrow, seeing how the moss was nowhere near the tables.
Odd.
She swipes through the textbox, seeing a second page.
Log #7
We got somewhere today. Red went to a world - Minecraft, I believed it was called. Yellow went with her, and they discovered… Fledging spores, so to speak. Apparently, the code they held nearly matched the code of moss that appeared here!
They won't be able to bring any here, but.. I couldn't care less. I'm going there myself. I'll fix her. Make her better. She'll wake up.
A swipe to the third page.
Log #10
Failures, failures, failures. I don't care what they say, I don't care that I'm being stubborn. They back off once I say it's so we don't have an infection of some sort spread. But I need to know, I need to figure this out. I will go insane if I don't.
This is nothing compared to what I have mastered.
This was definitely Pink’s writing. The Admin was always a bit intense whenever she had to write.
She set one down and picked up another.
Log #17
Red, such a hypocrite. Telling me to put down my work - as if she isn't working as much! No, no. I can't get upset. We're all hurting. None of my tests have yielded results.
But soon they will. I know they will.
Buffer slowly sits down on the table, swiping to the next page. “Hm..”
Log #24
I finally got something - it's less of a moss and more of a fungus. Green has been a tremendous help figuring this all out. Despite how many times I tell him, I know that he's blaming himself. None of us could have known she would.. deactivate. None of us knew she would bleed out.
None of us knew that she was mixing things she shouldn't be.
Who was Pink talking about? Did this happen sometime after Buffer left? It had to, considering that she couldn't find any memories relating to something even remotely like this.
Log #29
I managed to preserve a sample of her code. There was still code just a bit lingering. I grabbed it as soon as I saw it and put it into one of the test chambers.
I don't care how many times it takes. I'll fix her. Bring her back. She's not dead. That code still holds life. I'm sure of it.
Flicking through more of the pages, she frowns deeply as reads. It was more of the same. Pink declaring that she'd bring someone back, more notes about failures, and other sorts of things.
One apparent thing, though, was that Pink’s sanity and mental health had taken a hit by whatever had happened. Someone had deactivated a while after Buffer left, and Pink was trying to bring them back.
She left itches her shoulder, feeling a tingle there before grabbing the third text box.
Log #50
I can't forget the state of her when we first saw her that day. We were gone for just a few hours, and the lab was overrun by this damn fungus. And she was just. sitting there. Slumped over the table.
Her left arm was completely taken over by whatever the hell this thing is. So was her face. Her right ankle and left upper thigh.
We don't know how it got there. Got to her. All we know is that it's a fledging in only the Minecraft universe.
I'll eradicate it if I have to.
Buffer slowly clenches her hand. She rolls her right shoulder and tucks her left ankle under her right thigh.
This isn't about you. She tries to reason, to stop her worried thoughts. You would remember this.
Log #55
A breakthrough. A breakthrough. I got a breakthrough. Her code is still there, and I can remake it. She was never dead. Death never took her from me.
You'll be back. I'll bring you back.
Buffer's thumb trembles over the final word being covered. Slowly, she moves it.
I promise.
She exhales softly.
Log #60
I love Yellow. I care for them, and I cherish them, but if they don't get off my back about this.. who cares if this goes against all moral codes! I want her back! My Moderator, my apprentice, my heir - my DAUGHTER! I want her back! She's the perfection of what I do, the pinnacle of my teachings!
GIVE HER BACK!
Buffer, shakily, sets down that text box. “No more reading for a minute,” she mutters to herself. She felt shaky and sick, knowing that if she read more, she'd waste more time. She hops off the table, cringing at the soft squelch that comes from one of her feet landing in the moss.
She steps away and hurries over to another one of the tables, keen eyes spotting a box.
A box that had not been there before.
Throat feeling dry, she moves forward and clicks open the box.
Inside were the vials. Vials she knew contained the cure, because it was a cure she made as a test. It was how she knew. How she knew that Pink was behind this.
Buffer stares and stares and stares. She could take these and leave. She could take these and go back to the Adminspace, and try to forget what she saw today. She could ignore Green and Pink's behavior.
She could ignore it all and go home.
But she wouldn't. Because-
“Curiosity killed the cat,” Pink spoke, placing a hand on Buffer's head, “but satisfaction brought it back.”
Shaking her head, Buffer pulls herself from the memory and brings up a log box. From memory, she put down how to use and make more of the cure, something she knew Vitality and Kelsie would do just fine at replicating.
Opening a small portal command, she puts the box and log box through. Once she pulls her hands back out, it closes, and she's left in the darkness of the room.
Someone was watching her.
Her head snaps up to look at the balcony once more.
..
No one was there.
Buffer shudders. She glances around for any sign of vibrant pink, but finds none. She clenches a shaking hand over her chest, before her curiosity makes her look back at the text boxes. She makes her way over, hops back on, and shuffles through them.
Her eyes skim over the texts before something catches her attention. It was a number for.. something. Unlike the logs, it was something else that was numbered.
She lifts the text box and pales.
Clone.
It was a text box labeled ‘Attempts’. Swallowing down her fear, she opens it up.
59 entries. About clones.
The text box falls to the ground with a clatter when she sees the name. She feels bile rush up her through and she rushes as quickly as she can to a corner and retches.
“Ah, you're here!” The airy voice of Pink fills the room, and Buffer jolts. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she stumbles away and looks toward the balcony.
Pink stands there, hands clasped behind her back as Green stands behind her, looming over her shoulder.
“I've missed you dearly, Buffer.” Pink closes her eyes as she smiles. “I almost thought you were intentionally not visiting me!”
“That- That can't be true,” Buffer stammers, pointing to the text box. “Pink, tell me it isn't true - I'm begging you, tell me that isn't true!”
“What do you- Ooh.” Pink pauses before giggling. “Dear, it's as true as the sky is blue.”
Buffer felt like her whole world was crashing down.
Pink continues to smile down at her, and Green manages to, somehow, continue looking down at Buffer.
“You're a clone, Buffer. The best one yet, I must add.” The older Admin smiles. Buffer's knees buckle under her, nearly giving out.
Tumblr media
Buffer can hardly think. Whatever Pink is saying doesn't register. Her hands grasp at the air as a portal opens behind her. And she runs through it, stumbling out to her office on the other side. She collapses onto the floor, body and voice shuddering with each breath.
She hears a gentle, “I'll see you soon,” before the portal behind her closes.
(happy birthday @local-angst-dispenser <3)

Purgatory gave us some great things and a lot of awful things.
In spite of the admins driving a wedge between us all on purpose, let's do what we can to mend the rifts.
I'm a Bolas main, I'm hugging Soulfire and GGN mains. I'm sorry yall were done so dirty in a lot of ways. We were all wronged, let's move past it and stop giving the toxic admins what they want.

Was thinking back on the best protection/return to sender spell my friend introduced me to and I want to share it with yall.
So this is called a Thunder Stone. No not like the Pokémon thunder stone you can't evolve Eevee's with this shit.
You'll need a couple of things for this.
- a mirror or reflective surface you don't mind destroying
- a big ol' brick or rock
- some strong ass glue
- probably scissors or a hammer too
So! First things first! Smash that mirror into bits. Please for the love of all the Gods don't hurt yourself doing this. If you are a minor and can get supervision for this project great. If you are an adult that needs supervision with sharp things, do that too!
So now that your mirror is in bits you're going to take the big ol' brick or rock you have acquired and you're going to use that strong glue and glue the shards to the brick. Please do not glue your figures together! It is not fun! I've done it with gorilla glue. Mistakes were made.
Remember! Focus on the intent of protection and returning bad energy and ill intent back to sender while you glue shards to your brick.
Once done and dry place your Thunderstone near your front door or in your front garden.
Profit.
Thank you Terri for being an unhinged southern swamp hag you are bc I will forever remember this.
Have fun and be safe, friends!

Btw, I hope cc!BBH doesn't get let down by the bloodthirst claims of his character.
I know they care so much about each other and it's hard to roleplay this type of stuff, but as a Red Team main myself, I hope he keeps playing q!bbh like this. I hope he keeps antagonizing everyone, especially the reds. I hope he and the others pvpers unleash and doesn't let down. Because this ir truly so interesting to watch.
We've been waiting for q!bbh to unleash. Become the little devil that he is! I LOVE IT!
Truly, balance is important, even for players that mainly do this type of game. But I also believe the nerves and adrenaline clouded everyone in this first day. The next days, when everyone is a lot less nervous and stressed due to knowing what they're working with, are going to be top tier, especially with everyone managing the consequences of the first day.
So, to Badboyhalo and every other mcc type player: stand your ground. This is important for your characters. Become killing machines.
GET WORSE
Don't feel so bad. The rpers will keep doing their stuff, the grinders will keep doing their stuff. Don't be shy. (Just remember to rp it's all hahah)
We the audience are eating it up! I love this. Please please please, keep hunting my team lol
P.s. just don't forget it's still lore relevant. They may have changed islands, but they're still part of qsmp. So do whatever is the best for your character arc.

I take back anything nice I've ever thought about qsmptwt WHY are people using this as an excuse to discourse about purgatory again
I swear to God people just like having an excuse to be nasty to others. fans are just itching for an excuse to attack sides of the fandom they don't like again when... the takeaway should be to try and stay united? and NOT harass others when decisions are made specifically to stir harassment?

ok thinking about the red team players again and a billion people have probs said the same thing but these r my thoughts
on the first day looking at this team they looked absolutely hopeless even ignoring half the team being absent
(not a green or blue viewer so correct me if im wrong on this, i am but an ignorant red viewer)
green teams main pattern seems to be their pvp players with etoiles, fit and roier as well as alot of just generally pvp competent players obviously with a few outliers of course
blue teams main pattern then seems to be game knowledge and general skill with pierre, bad, tubbo and pac once again with a few outliers
and red teams main pattern was definitely not as obvious with most of the players both not being knowledgeable or pvp skilled (with few outliers OBVS)
whiicch on first day especially made red team look totally hopeless with very little pvp skill and knowledge it looked like there was nooo waythey would ever be able to beat the other two teams
BUT from a day 5(is it day 5 i forgor) perspective after two wins tooo meeee it looks like reds main strength by team design was their already established bonds and connections both in game AND out of game even the non active players (OBVIOUSLY THERE R OUTLIERS!!!!!!)
jaiden, foosh, baghera, slime, cellbit and phil all having hung out together loads in the main island and all getting along pretty well
felps. (hes felps)
vegetta and foosh r egg parents and gay together and vegetta and willy being irl friends
wilbur being very close to phil and close to slime
outliers to this being carre and german who havent logged on much ( but i also dont know enough about either of them so i may be just not knowing things lol)
so imo the red teams strength was the already established bond most of the players had which was strengthened on day one for the present players. which obviously on day one was pretty useless but its obvious now it has been absolutely crucial in red teams recent successes and has been the downfall in the other two teams
(THIS IS NOT ME SAYING THE OTHER TEAMS DONT HAVE PRE-ESTABLISHED BONDS! and i am not saying red does not have pvp skilled and knowledgeable players!!!!!)
but lmk if u have any thoughts on this and im sry if its incoherent lol

One of the biggest hypocrisy of Red is them wanting Blue to kill themselves for Green. Like, where's the benefit for them? Why should they give up on their lives?
"They didn't want that, they wanted the 50/50". So now they care? In the egg event they were against not killing the eggs because he was sure that'll just make things worse if they got a tie and didn't play the event, but now they suddenly think it's a good idea? (And we all know that it wasn't)

Is Étoiles a bad leader?
Tumblr media
No. If you just wanted to know that, my answer is no. You don't have to read the rest.
So in my completely impartial and not at all biased opinion, I'm going to explain why we are actually lucky to have him as a leader. (it will probably poorly age)
But first yes, this question does not come out of nowhere. This first day was hell for the Green Team and their chat (at least Étoiles' chat). I was watching his stream before stopping before the “teamwork” part. If it had been later, I wouldn't have watched the VOD. I literally put the last stream in accelerated, because it wasn't pleasant to watch and Étoiles was clearly not having a good time. It ruined my good mood and I abandoned the stream on the 2nd day because I wasn't in a state to enjoy it, even though it seemed to be exactly like the solo part of Étoiles during the 1st day, but vocally with the Blue Team, so without the stress of teamwork.
I'm not saying that Étoiles is perfect. It is obvious that he was not elected for his leadership abilities, but because he is the strongest (and he is green). He is kind, doesn't like to impose himself, speaks softly and is an introvert whose social battery runs out quickly (I'm an introvert myself and let me tell you it goes down very quickly in stressful/in unusual company/unpleasant situations). It also often happened that the other players talked over him (except Fit, no? It seemed to annoy him)
But I attribute the majority of their difficulty to two points:
Lack of luck A) Decisions which are good on paper but the circumstances of the event make them bad
It's a survival game. Taking your time to prepare is super important if it's possible. It's literally what allows you to survive properly after that. The Green Team farmed items, obtained and enchanted armors and weapons, collected food, made sure everyone had what they needed, created a well-hidden base... They then left as a group because it is more cautious and stronger... The problem is that not everyone plays like that. The other teams were much weaker (at this moment) so the fights weren't tense at all, they got lost very often due to their numbers, the majority of interactions among teams took place while they were preparing so they arrived too late for that ...
B) Lack of balance
The Green Ninjas are way too strong. There is Étoiles, the strongest on the server who is used to this type of game, Fit, who is also used to this type of game but with even more experience, Roeir who is much stronger than he looks like… In comparison, the Red Team doesn't have half its team and those remaining are mostly lore players, not pvp or survival. What would it have cost to take Étoiles or Fit and trade him for a red player who never comes? There would have been fewer calm and experienced people among the Greens but a penalty is not a problem at this stage. Etoiles were just complaining that they were too strong and that it wasn't fun.
(And really, at least the Reds are with people they're used to being around (the Twitch Rivals members are all there except Etoiles) and they're the crowd's favorites. The Green Team is either people who know their stuff and are quite solitary (Fit and Etoiles) or don't come in general (Kameto), or won't come much anymore because it's not their type of game (Antoine and Ironmouse). So it's less fun to watch. Imbalance is not just in the difference in strength.)
C) Languages
It's like that for everyone but on the Green Team, only Fit is a Native English Speaker, the language that everyone uses. Finding words is complicated, understanding others is complicated, and all that, added to the stress, made the situation even more difficult than necessary.
Hell is other people A) It's stressful
The players were teleported to an unknown island completely run by a person who hates them and wants to make them suffer, without their stuff, with one less heart line, to save their children, taking into account that an (unknown) team is corrupted and its defeat means the death of some eggs. Survival games aren't for everyone either, so some really fall completely short. Game or not, it's a stressful situation. And humans don't perform well under stress, and that makes us more aggressive and difficult to get along with. For teamwork, it's a real obstacle.
B) These players do not meet often
Apart from a few exceptions, the members of the Green Team do not often hang out together. They get along well but are usually with other people. Obviously, the bonds are less strong, and the knowledge to understand and manage others is lesser.
C) It's the 1st day
The first day of an inherently stressful and frustrating event, where team members do not necessarily know each other well. Obviously it's a disaster. We rarely perform really good the first time. At least the Greens didn't kill each other or go crazy.
But honestly, we judge the Greens on their teamwork because they were the only ones to do it. The Blues were working, but mostly on their own, the Reds acting as a team but they did not really "work".
But why are we lucky to have Étoiles as a leader? Because he's the nicest. He wants to play fair. He apologizes after killing someone, didn't want to kill Tina because the fight was way too unfair, asked his team not to burn other people's stuff because it's really annoying. This team is the strongest on the easy server if they try. Étoiles almost won on the 2nd day while being all alone. He would have succeeded if Elquackity hadn't messed up (chances are it was done on purpose to boost the morale of the Red Team). Roier wants blood, so does Fit. Yet Étoiles managed to keep them calm enough to farm and maintain some morals. If he decided to be completely wild, it wouldn't be a pretty sight.
The Reds went completely crazy from day 1, while the Greens had enough preparations for a solid foundation when they reconnect. The Bolas might be the most fun to follow, but if you were stuck on the island, which team would you prefer? The crazy cannibals who eat each other or the strongest who help each other even if it’s boring?

Thoughts on Purgatory Day 4:
God what a fun day, and yet funnily enough a much more relaxed one.
It's gonna be interesting to see what the ramifications of blue's logout strat are gonna be because it's definitely going to be banned, but, from my understanding, blue used this strat to prove a point: that red's strategy was unfair.
Which is true, or at least I think it was true.
Personally, I feel like it was mostly unfair due to how difficult it used to be to get to global, but I feel like the admins have pretty fairly counteracted that and balanced things with today's introduction of the spawn portals.
Because with red's strat players HAD to physically travel to global and turn in the contracts within at least the last 30 minutes of gameplay. The portals now easily allow other teams to show up and at least put up a good fight, and we actually got to see how effective they are today with cellbit and charlie's assist they pulled for roier. If they had been just slightly quicker, green might've been able to steal back the win.
Which I think brings me to the other potentially unfair part of red's strat that I've seen be brought up which is that it isn't fair for streamers in European timezones/streamers who play earlier. Which is a fair criticism, but honestly I haven't personally been able to think of a way for the admins to balance the contracts around that without either: A) completely changing how contracts work, or B) unfairly punishing later streamers.
I think it's complicated, and I feel like the main thing that's gonna result from today isn't going to be them banning turning in tasks late but instead banning logging out right in front of the global NPCs. Knowing the admins, they'll probably figure out something I hadn't thought of and make the whole thing more fair for everyone.
Competition and lore wise, tomorrow is gonna be really interesting as well. A small alliance might be blooming between red and green and that might have massive ramifications going forward. That and I think (???????) that players might be getting their eggs tomorrow (?????). I know they described a period in which they had to keep them alive and the actual event ends on the 10th so I'm guessing they're arriving tomorrow. If they are, that shit is going to be crazy.
(Side note: It was also a delight to see teams casually hanging out more together today. As much as I enjoy the competition, I missed them all just chilling)
Overall, congrats blue on the win! Cheesy as fuck and they knew it but it was absolutely deserved! They worked their asses off! And green put up a hell of a fight! I hope they get their chance to win as well tomorrow!
#qsmp#soup speaks#it could be perceived that way but this really isnt meant to be a discourse post#i just like thinking about strategy and gameplay balancing lol#this event has been so delightful for me i love disecting possible tactics and ways the admins can make things more fair#while still rewarding interesting and smart strategies#because red's strategy WAS smart#and with the addition of the portals its a lot more fair and opens up opportunities for some sick ass skirmishes over global tasks#i think it also opens up a lot of opportunities for teams to get creative#because all the teams DO have streamers who log in later#even if theyre not their pvp heavy ones#off the top of my head blue has tina missa and rivers#and green has bagi quackity and roier#and not all of those people are the best at pvp but thats where creativity and strategy come in#id love to see blue team come running in with a bunch of explosives or poisoned arrows or other ranged attack methods#to try and stop red team or green team without getting too close contact#like AHHH!!!! i wanna see teams get really creative with this!!! i love fun strategies!!!!#theres so much fun bullshit you can do in this scenario#like god i could sing red's praises so much theyre so tactical and think so strategically its fucking awesome#their cave base made specifically so that it would be less detectable using cave layers? and convincing people they still live at spawn?#delightful#and shoutout blue team for the way they've let people play to their strengths#they caught on to so many good strats early on like moving their base off island and tea being the best food source#and god the way green really came back together today was such a delight to watch#i hadn't caught much of their pov prior to today but i tuned in while they were grinding to fight blue and it was so much fun#i hope them and red actually commit to the little alliance they've formed and try to secure green the win tomorrow#god this event spawns such shit discourse but also im so delighted by it#sorry for the fucking essay in the tags i just have so much to gush about this event kudos to the admins this is sick#qsmp purgatory#really putting the blog back in tumblr blog with this one huh
