#i feel so bad for all of the qsmp staff. like imagine thinking this would be like. a week long event. and now you're probably going to be

[sp-ud]

New rule for the eggs! They only have to be taken care of for 3 days per week, every streamer sighs in relief lmao.

Personally I think some asks here need to chill out a bit. Just a smidge.

All we know is there's eventually going to be a second iteration of the project. Hopefully one with all that should/needs to be fixed, fully and thoroughly fixed. There's nothing wrong with them doing something again. We know nothing about what "2" is gonna be.

Some of these asks are bad faithing or just having a bad attitude way too soon and need to stop expecting the worst rather than hoping for the best. Anyone upset about "2" right now is working themselves up for nothing. We have a number, that's it. Not a premise, not a timeline, nothing. They need to calm down. There's no sense in being angry over hypotheticals.

Especially when, despite what seemed like good progress with some eggs returning, ccs explicitly stating they wouldn't be playing on the server again if things weren't fixed, etc, the server still ended anyway. In my eyes, that's a sign they're acknowledging they can't fully correct what needs to be mended and redeemed without pulling the plug first. As far as we know, the only bad thing about the new studio so far is how shitty some admin spoke to Cherry (I don't mean to sound blasé there, to clarify. I was angry for her and I care about her treatment deeply). This to me is suggesting they're shutting down to REALLY scrub the studio clean and restart anew. The new staff were personally vetted this time and I feel like people forget that a lot. Or choose to bad faith about it instead, which just helps no one.

Some asks here need to think more positively. Or just admit they need to step away from qsmp entirely and not engage with any future content. I know that sounds a bit easier said than done, but I mean it. Don't participate in something if all it does is piss you off or hurt you. :/

Personally I think a good sign that things are truly being improved would be that people wouldn’t have to rely on interpreting possible signs to imagine that maybe if you squint things are changing

Also a lot of people who are critical also happen to be people who deeply loved the qsmp and are sad or angered to see it end the way it did, but are also angered at the exploitation that went on and has not, to this day, been properly addressed or fixed.

« Just » the Cherry thing is not a one time oopsie, it showed that despite the team having been allegedly restructured, they still repeated the same pattern of actions.

Obviously with QSMP having announced that there would be a follow up, people are being doubtful that it will happen without the same problems that plagued it the first time.

Issues don’t disappear because you look away from them 🤷‍♀️
