hey its fox!

on the eggs' involvement in the server: i dont think it would be an exhaggeration to call them the lifeblood of the qsmp. Not only are there daily tasks to take care of the eggs, they're a constant background presence in both casual streams, specific egg events, and non-egg-centric lore (and there's a definite push for egg admins to log on whenever their streamers are online, or even to fill in for other eggs if their admins aren't available at the time!)

That's easier for streamers like Philza, who has consistent streaming hours (and even then we've had tallulah's admin fill in for chayanne etc), but a lot of streamers either have a lot longer, or a lot more irregular schedules.

Eggs arent expected to be "awake" for every moment, but there is a Definite expectation for them to show up at least once per stream and hang around until the streamer goes off to grind/explore/etc.

It's not even "this egg belongs to these two streamers" anymore, there's a definitive collective that has formed to take care of them (and the eggs will call most of the server a variant of aunt/uncle as a result) so its less "this specific chat has gotten attached to this background character", and more "here's a dozen streamers and their respecitve audiences who will and have killed god to protect those eggs".

In general it's delightful because it's really upped the attachment people have to the server, but it also means there's a Lot more pressure on the admins to show up and play along, which makes it even worse that they're not being properly treated and compensated for the large and irregular hours theyve been making for no or little pay.

apologies for the long ask lmao. feel free not to reply if you dont feel like it👍

Daily tasks would drive me crazy (not a bad thing, I'm just the type of person that CANNOT do/watch chorelike things in games, even if I enjoy them! Unless there's variety ig 🤔. This is besides the point. They really said Tamagotchi... TWO)

"will and have killed god to protect those eggs" I love minecraft roleplay

Yea this is essentially a full-time if not multiple-people job! Each! Like people gotta be taking SHIFTS to play as the eggs if it stretches past 8 hours! The server essentially feels like those themed events, like Halloween, Ren Faires, etc, or Disney World where everyone there has to play a character/role and not break character. If you're a customer then you'll do it happily, but the people facilitating it have to get paid because while they're enjoying the experience, they ARE the service/experience itself! And those people definitely take shifts and have mandated breaks and such

I was talking about this to someone and. I know we have an aversion to Corporations and Companies. But we need to examine what about them we hate and what is necessary/okay/reasonable, otherwise we do not use things we need. In this case (and,, other minecraft servers,,) a specific way of structuring, interacting and organizing streamers and admins. We all want to have fun and keep it lighthearted and friendly, but we have to accept that big scope things need appropriate organization to Get Shit Done. And that means boring work and (eugh) meetings. And so so much logistics. So people get treated fairly and things don't fall into the cracks

Thank you for the info, you funky lil fox

dtblr creator opinion survey 2.0

hi guys! its been 6 months. a lot has happened. if you would like i would invite you to fill in this form (also below) to share your opinion on mcyt + other content creators! I will then write up the results and see whats changed, whats new and whats up!

IMPORTANT: there are 4 sections. Section 4 is valorant creators only for my own personal interest. Obviously not everyone here is interested in valo so feel free to skip that entirely :)

If you have not heard of them, leave it blank. If you have and you are ambivalent maybe neutral is the answer for you.

Dan and Phil 2.0: MCYT edition

[rincewinds-hat]

here's the thing

When i was a kid, i ADORED watching LDShadowlady (still love her, although i generally don't watch mcyts anymore), and she's like an idol to me.

When i grew up a little, i was watching the dsmp (yes, hate me all you want for my likes idc, i wasn't one of the crazys) and I really liked Technoblade, Tommyinnit and Ranboo. I still follow them, though as i said, don't watch as frequently.

Yesterday, my mom and aunt were discussing how ridiculous it is to watch people play video games, saying 'just play the games yourself' or 'where's the satisfaction? It's someone else's accomplishment' and other things like that

And then i realised - it was never about the game. It was about the story.

Shadowcraft 1 and 2.0 were absolutely wonderful to watch. I loved it because of her charisma mostly, but you can't deny that it had interesting lore and such.

Empires, 'insert number/word' Life series, Hermicraft, Dream freaking SMP, and for the sake of nostalgia series like Stampy's Lovely World, Stayceplayz and Squaishy (i think that's their names, i haven't watched them in years) and their Cake Island in space (or whatever it was, those who know will know)... They all have LORE.

In it's core, all these people playing Minecraft are telling a story. And it's not some shit story, no it's meaningful and fun and interesting. These are people born to create, born to tell stories, but maybe don't have the gift of being amazing writers or directors or never got the chance they should've. YouTube and Minecraft were ways to express yourself, share a piece of yourself and your work with the masses without needing to be published or hired to write.

You wouldn't shame directors or actors or writers for doing the same exact thing. So why shame these people? What have they done that's wrong?

Just like a director, you choose how it'll all look. You produce your own sets, and costumes and have actors. In it's core, it's all an indie movie/series.

The older generations don't realise that what some people you don't consider artists do almost the same thing as people you shame and call 'attention seekers' (yes, mom, I'm looking at you)

Im sorry im yapping so much, but i feel like it's important to say this
