Replying tocr24copper golems tho
The only button I care about them pressing is my prostate, and they can't even do that17:10They can rust to a dust for all I care - S

Replying tokalucky0But I'm sure that Allay will win
Allay will win because allay sounds like allah and so inshallah will happen17:48All I will say is that17:48If dream were to rig the vote in favor of the glare, well17:49I wouldn't support it, but I certainly would not be mad at him for it...17:49š„“ - C18:23As the mobs that dont get in, just give people more creative freedom outside mojangs limits.18:25The only way it harms vanilla though, is when the community manages to fuck up the vote by adding something that would be an annoyance Exibit A being the phantom, a mob people solely voted for bc it looked cool, missing the bigger picture.

What do you mean missing the bigger picture?18:27There was no bigger picture, we were not told of how they would function before they got added - C

- AThe mob votes are, imho, a wonderful idea that is executed... not badly, but not greatly either18:30They encourage the community to gather up and discuss, it breeds great amounts of participation and interaction, and it makes people feel like they have a say on what is going on with the game, however small it may be
- CPretty much this, and with the media able to influence so much, all it brings each year is so much venom and hate.18:30Instead of collaboration and civil interaction
- A
Replying toCDAGamingPretty much this, and with the media able to influence so much, all it brings each yearā¦
Aw please, don't be so negative, it is easy to only look at what is bad18:31But look at all the good things that come from it too, the sheer amount of artwork over the new mobs is astonishing given how little time has passed - C

- A
Replying toCDAGamingI mean take a look at last years alone, people went up an arms over it The fanart andā¦
I mean, there is a very particular reason as to why that happened, a certain lime vibeo ganer...18:33There are certainly improvements to be made, but I find the idea to be rather noble, and I feel we would be worse off without it - J
- CI mean tbf, while he did have influence, he wasn't alone in that18:36Many other CC's were doing the same, so it isnt isolated to one person, but several high rankers
- A
Replying toCDAGamingI mean tbf, while he did have influence, he wasn't alone in that
He certainly is the person people focus their spite upon, though - C
- A
Replying toJack PapelI guess it's easier to be critical when your favorite choice loses all three years lol
I've accepted my fate by now, I will be amazed if the glare wins but goddamn I love the little dudes - CHe was the one who promised to follow everyone who voted for his vote, then backstabbed his own audience and did none of that18:37Only to then come out later that his runs ALSO were filled with lies and deceit.
- A
Replying toCDAGamingHe was the one who promised to follow everyone who voted for his vote, then backstabbedā¦
This is probably victim blaming, but come on18:38If you really expected that to happen I do not know what to say18:38The whole speedrun thing was certainly fun to watch - C18:38But others believed him mindlessly

- AOn the other hand... well, first and foremost, the response to it was almost entirely unwarranted. While his actions were bad they do not demand you send death threats to a person, nor do they justify doxxing a random person just because it could have been him, even if it had been him come on
- C
- AI feel like the dream situation is a perfect example of being so ornery in your search for justice that you become as bad as those you are trying to reprehend18:42The other reason why I am ultimately neutral towards him is because, well, hating him for abusing his power for the vote would be hypocritical of me18:43I am fully willing to admit, were I in his position I would have done the same thing. Though I would have probably been more discrete with it, you don't just throw fuel to a fire without having a fire suit on and an extinguisher nearby(edited)
- SI donāt like mob votes specifically because they make all this promotional material and put all this effort into this big event when they could be expending that effort just putting the fucking mobs into the videogame.23:53In the end it just makes more people sad than happy because only one of the votes wins and there are multiple candidates23:53Itās good marketing and anti consumer23:54gets people talking, in a bad way

- SOr 1-2 great idea(s) gets thrown away in favor of a shit idea because surprise surprise āthe general publicā are not game design experts23:55Not saying theyāll always choose wrong23:55Or that there is a āwrongā choice23:56just that the factors the Minecraft community at large considers have pretty much everything to do with the superficial and virtually nothing to do with anything else
