I Hate It When People Say C!Tommys Shakes Breaths Are So Annoying And Break The Immersion. Like What?

I hate it when people say C!Tommy’s shakes breaths are so annoying and break the immersion. Like what? Most of the time when the dsmp are portraying mental illness they just yell at a wall and call it a day /j /nm /dsmp /rp

Technoblade apologists (derogatory) /j /dsmp

Dream apologists (derogatory) /dsmp

to be perfectly honest, the reason why technoblade's character frustrates me in s2 is because he tied his character to a nuanced and deep political ideology and then let the audience draw the conclusion that the stuff he did was an expression of that ideology when it wasn't. like, because doomsday wasn't about anarchy, it should have been written completely differently. you can't have an event with an anarchist causing the end of a government without people naturally drawing the conclusion that that was what his intention as an anarchist, when it mostly wasn't. the most minimal script-doctoring I can do is to just let c!techno have a line like "this isn't about anarchy, it's about revenge". but that's not what happens.

instead, we end up with what is interpreted by the audience as good anarchist rep when it just... isn't really. conflating anarchist ideas and the butcher army plot created a messy narrative. fans can extrapolate what they want out of it, but a more deliberate portrayal of anarchist ideals vs. feeling betrayed in techno's character may have helped mitigate the discourse somewhat. we simply didn't get it.

C!Phil makes so much more sense to me after his lore stream yesterday. He’s been told a bunch of lies by C!Wilbur and been told half truths by C!Technoblade. A lot of his choices have been made off of misinformation and and lack of the full picture. /rp /dsmp

MCC Etiquette

So, mcc is returning! there are going to be more fans than ever watching, and many people here haven’t seen one live. for the most part, mcc has been very nontoxic and wholesome to watch, but there have been a few issues, so here are some things to keep in mind:

sometimes, people just play worse, or have an off day. if someone is performing poorly, don’t remind them or yell at them in chat. they’re under a lot of pressure here!

while balancers do exist, and some players are objectively better than others, every player is important! someone who might be just the fourth player to you might be someone else’s favorite streamer. be kind!

there are going to be technical issues sometimes! the event is incredibly well run, but there have been and will be mistakes, and it is not the event managers fault. please be gentle.

in a similar vein, scott puts a ton of work into team choices and balancing. I know people want their faves together, or want their streamer to be on a strong team, but balancing has to occur. because of this, groups like the dteam can’t always team because of how strong they are.

a lot of mcc is down to rng, or random game generation. if your team loses due to bad luck, that could just be the tournament working how it’s supposed to! while skilled teams usually make it to the top, when there are so many good teams, someone has to get unlucky.

if you feel like it, try watching a smaller streamer! while a lot of mcc streamers have blown up since, and the tournament has become much more exclusive, don’t be afraid to watch a new perspective

mcc is entirely for fun! there is no prize to be won.

have fun watching!
