THEY'RE REDACTING DESERT DISTRICT FROM THE NEWSPAPERS.

THEY'RE TRYING TO PRETEND NONE OF IT EVER EXISTED.

CRAZY TO WATCH IN REAL TIME.

IS THIS HOW THE 2.5 CITIZENS FELT DURING THE DAY 4 MEETING???

2 hour lore extension today LOL

It's still going, I'm gna type out all my thoughts after it's all over, cuz I missed a lot of stuff while I was outside w lawn chores

guess im gna have to miss the undertale anniversary livestream 😔

choparata lol

im still so overwhelmed from yesterdays' events that i cant even begin to formulate thoughts about today.

well, for starters. the "they're going to kill them all" predictions from yesterday were exactly right. not soon after the event's start, there was a mass murder of desert residents.

halfway through the day, they started mass murdering the jungle(?) district and defectors from the capital.

and jungle was the most tame one

snow district is pretty much a ghost town, everyone's either escaped or died - there's no one left. it does however have the biggest rebelling force outside the walls, which means theyre the citizens' greatest light atm. bifrost, i think theyre called. i dont watch any snow povs so i need to catch up w that/factcheck.

zynn is dead, and those who were arrested at the end of day 4 (sidefall, progamerdude, and starmakarma) were all leaders of previous influential parties. them and those remaining from their parties were saved for a reason - brought to the capital to convince them into imperia's ranks. because what else can imperia do? citizens and guards alike are defecting and imperia's reputation is going down the drain. they NEED beloved spokespeople on their side for even a CHANCE to win their people back. but after everything imperia has done, how can these leaders even be convinced back to the government's side? well, as it turns out, the resurrection theory is real. project phoenix is real.

those in the afterlife pov were SPOT ON with their theories. desert district was gathering pork - for physical matter. snow was gathering amethyst - a vessel for the soul. jungle was gathering wood - for organic matter. imperia was also hoarding the heads of fallen players, because it's an identifier for who comes back to life.

the purge was to gather bodies for experimentation. solev was constructing a laboratory to gain immortality. and he is using the promise of it to keep supporters on his side. including those figureheads he arrested.

first they brought out da slimes faction, progamerdude's fallen friends. but there's something off about them...

then they brought out ymis. and sidefall cracks.

come to our side. you can see your friends again, just look at what imperia has graciously done for you!

everything sidefall has done on the server has been for ymis. became second hand of the beach to help ymis. tried to rig the election for ymis. became the leader of the beach when ymis was gone. continued her mission for HER. wait.. what MISSION? there has been none - every action he's taken - when has it NOT been for his best friend? for ymis and only ymis? and if imperia can bring her back, if imperia can get rid of the hollowness of his life without her present, then... of course, of course he'll fall to imperia.

progamerdude sees exactly what's happening and tries to get him to snap out of it, but sidefall already made his mind the MOMENT he saw ymis revived in front of him. there is no going back now.

so, now that all three are pledged to imperia's side, they're paired together with the remaining desert district. sidefall is now in charge of a group of citizens, loyal to imperia, nothing else matters except imperia, nothing else matters except for ymis. and within a short time sidefall has already killed a defecting gaurd and has tried to kill progamerdude for his disloyal sentiments. and he can't even see how doomed his situation is. that ymis, the ymis who was revived - she can't be all there. if ymis, the REAL ymis who isn't a walking corpse could see what he was doing? what the hell would she think? he can't see past his blind devotion for her, he can't see that he has corrupted what she'd lived for.

and watching all of this play out in progamerdude's POV was TERRIFYING by the way. the music he chose, the absolute STOMACH DROP felt when da slimes walk up to him. how HORRIFYING it is when one of them falls apart and dies again in front of him because, well, "he was one of the first" - the first draft of an experiment is going to be flawed, after all!

and JUST when you think his heroic pea to sidefall had worked... sidefall turns to the side, approaches the gaurd stationed nearby, and rats him out.

the both of them are MVPs at roleplay by the way. i had moments where i gasped out loud and had to stand up and pace. amazing stuff

sidefall's manic grief is so PALPABLE and intense

the complete downward spiral of his character is so enjoyable to witness. i fucking love statesmp

as for foolish and derapchu... hoooo boy 🥹

they were doomed from the start even if derap got a second lease of life. desert district was doomed from the start. the government's gonna rain down on them and kill them all today - they said so. even if they breached the walls, there is so much panic and disarray - no one can decide where to go or what to do. 5pyder is there - he's leading them out like he promised he'd help. but trust in him is so low among the group that his presence divides them all further.

they wander, they get split up, foolish, derapchu, and peppermint are cornered by a gaurd. once again they split, but foolish turns back when he realizes the gourd is still on derapchu's tail. he'd rather protect his friend than leave with his life, and he pays for it. soon, derapchu goes down, later foolish. peppermint escapes with her life, i believe finding herself among a resistance group in jungle district.

at least if they died, they died together.

and at least 5pyder is putting his money where his mouth is. he snuck into the broadcasting tower and announced to the whole of imperia of his betrayal, and encouraged others to escape from the walls, attempting to rally the remaining loyalists with magicsings. and even after foolish and derapchu died, he continued to aide the rebellion. in a way though, he once again led derap & foolish to their deaths. perhaps if they stayed with the more stable group, ninZAI's, who knows, maybe they coulda had a chance.

mildly annoyed me thou when he tried to set up foolish as the leader of their group. like boy u r biased as fuck u have been trying to push foosh's story the entire time ur on screen with him boy cmon let the others shine

like. i love the character trope of someone who starts selfish, then tries to become selfless & a leader without exactly knowing how to. i think the way hes acting makes sense with his arc. it is just SO hard for me not to think hes an attention seeker 😭 is that mean of me

day 6. last day, let's see how this goes

https://x.com/ImperiaTruth/status/1969882809541284127/photo/1

oh the government's fucking losing it

right now, residents in the afterlife are trying to build their own version of project phoenix's resurrection machine to bring themselves back to life before the government can.

i had no idea this project in the afterlife was happening or the fact that bifrost has their own prototype of the machine along with the government's official one.

it's now a race to save the dead while imperia gears up for war against the rebel factions

NEED to look at bifrost pov, how have i had no idea this was happening ???

OOF.... sanchezsaysno is dead. last ive seen him he was trying to challenge sidefall... looks like he probably killed him :D

THE SKY TURNED DARK IN THE AFTERLIFE.....

DID THE MACHINE WORK? IS THERE A PURGE HAPPENING?

OH THE MACHINE BLEW UP?????

DAMN

oh. just peeped into sidefall's pov again uh

ymi's out of her uniform, imperia wants to gear up everyone who revived to fight on their side of the war. but sidefall wants to bring her to the beach omfg.

FUCK YOU AD NO

WHAT

NO WAY. NO

WAHHAAAT NO

GOING BACKAND WATCHING 5PYDER'S STREAM

SCHPOOD: "you had some small arbitrary change, and now you suddenly have a speech? you had a valuable position in government and now you just wanna tell everyone? and everyone was already out at that point, it wasn't a huge logistical win for us [rebels]. everyone had already escaped, it would have been far more valuable if you stayed behind. have you seen our newspaper?"

....SCHPOOD?

SCHPOOD: "have you heard of a man called labbu? he was very famous for betraying every role that he worked for just to get a leg up. and do you know what the people of china did?"

....................oh schpood is grilling him. someone clocked him finally

SCHPOOD: "you are accused of treason against the free people of this island."

ohh boy. so that's how he died

he always was trapped between two worlds, wasn't he. his reputation precedes whatever side he chose and he will always be known as a traitor, no matter the side. nobody forgave him.

WAIT RED TEXT JUST FLEW ACCROSS THE SCREEN IN FOOSH'S POV WHAT THE HELL

THE PHEONIX JUST SPOKE?? TAHTS AN ACTUAL ENTITY???

the pheonix isnt letting them revive

fuuuck

DID IT WORK????

APPARENTLY SOMEONES GONE..? SO MANY PEOPLE, I DONT KNOW WHATS HAPPENING.

THE PHEONIX KILLED LUCKYDUCKS

A SACRIFICE? OR WAS HE REVIVED?

5pyder is gonna try to get in the machine next after this person. ohh boy.

ok, is schpood ACTUALLY the "second solev" as 5pyder claims? fuck im going back to rewatch his POV. i need more context

eh? is she? in sidefall's pov earlier, he said SHE was a traitor for imperia?

THE PHEONIX DIDN'T ACCEPT 5PYDER. THE MACHINE BLEW UP AGAIN.....

omg it's 7:00 i didnt even know time passed that fast. it's still going.

magicsings has a plan

oof, and the machine blew up again....

LUCKYDUCK IS BACK

HE WAS SENT TO THE END??? missouri was there with him

huh

meagon's the real MVP i can't imagine how stressful it'd be leading this entire operation

im stressed on her behalf just listening to allthis, so many voices.......

magicsings has a plan

I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO HEAR WHAT MAGICSINGS WANTED TO DO BCS THERES SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE AFTERLIFE POV....... WHATS HAPPENING WITH MAGICSINGS?? IS SHE SWITCHING SIDES AGAIN?? is she trying to win over the rebels peacefully?

YMIS GOT HER MEMORIES BACK?

OH.... OBSIDEAN AND MAGMA EVERYWHERE.... THE PHEONIX IS... PISSED?

PFFT.... SIDEFALL HAS SANCHEZ' HEAD

OH.... AND THE REBELS ARE COMING.

ohhhh sidefalls thinking abt running away with ymis now that theyre all gna be fighting. but she physically can't bcs the capital revived her. also shes out of meds. girl is not gonna survive D:

FUCK YOU ADS

OH ISH IS SPEAKING.

"is everyone ready?"

NO......

the rebels are at the capital. theyre standing still

schpood is indeed leading the rebellion. he isn't a "second solev," he genuinley thought 5pyder was a traitor. oof i actually feel so bad for him 😭 what a tragic end to his character

AND 2 HOUR EXTENSION FML IM NEVER GNA BE ABLE TO LEAVE THIS DESK 😭

5pyder is still trying so damn hard to get back to the living world. the miscommunication is insanity, if he gets back theyre still not gonna trust him bruh. unless his plan is quite literally just to kill schpood and nothing else, whats the point

the rebels have broken in

another revival attempt hoo boy

damn the afterlife people are griefing the machine for fun fml they need staff in there pronto

ah it was all so sudden and upsetting, 5pyder is rightfully upset his arc couldn't conclude how he wanted. but from schpood's perspective, he also had VERY valid in-character reasons for the kill. miscommunication's gonna kill me, ik it's not that serious but i hope everyone's chill post-event ackkk......

SIDEFALL'S DEAD

FUCK I MISSED IT

3BELOW DEAD

FUUCK. I CANT BELEIVE I MISSED HIS DEATH

oof, sidefall's in the afterlife even after he'd physically killed people. i guess that tosses out the hell theory

i missed so much shit, did ymis start forgetting him again? fuuuuckkk. either way imperia doesnt seem to be doing good.

my pov for the rebels is dead also. rip hydranessa the goat o7

ish denied 5pyder revival bcs schpood said he was a villain. ackkk... yk it's probs better if he is perma-dead. i like the tragic ending, i do feel like it was justice

i hope that when the video comes out, ish can portray 5pyder's character with nuance bcs i disagree with schpood that he's 100% a villain. theres SO much depth you can give to a character who is inherently selfish and tries to be good although he fails, and the reprecussions and domino effect of his actions. of who should be forgiven and what is enough to earn your keep.

ah, admins are saying to not waste times in line for afterlife's project pheonix bcs its not gonna work. damn. then what was it all for? the explosions and the lava and teleporting them to different dimensions and the book...

im dizzy as shit dawg i need to take a break, oof...

ALL OF MY POVS ARE DEAD LOL

I JUST HOPPED ONTO ANOTHER RANDOM POV AND THEY'VE CORNERED SOLEV

schpood is trying to get him to surrender

OH SHIT

THAT POV JUST DIED.

APPL3PLAYS IT WAS GOOD KNOWING U FOR LIKE 3 SECONDS...

sch4fter, another of her comrades is also dead 😔

damn

wait schr name twins omg :3

i wanna see this thru bcs i dont wanna get spoilers from twitter hold on i need to find living povs. need to see how this ends

okie found one

hi pofy i hope u dont die :3

STILL UPSET OVER THE RESURRECTION PLOT BTW.... i hope they resolve this shit in the epilogue days or at least ish's video

OH?

RIP POFY U DID SO GOOD

U WERE FIGHTING KONIRI U DID THE BEST U COULD

hi milqo_00 i hope u dont die :3

imperia has for the most part fallen

i still have no idea if solev's dead

MAGICSINGS DOWN. GOOD RIDDENCE PFFT

always sad seeing usernames from other povs dying in ingame chat D: so many people died from getting lost and cornered by gaurds

i believe solev is dead, i didnt get to see the death message when switching povs but koniri is apprently the president now, according to in-game messages

server closes in 15 minutes oh boy

rebels are all over the capital, the battle is pretty much won. all's left to do is hunt down stragglers. where the hell is schpood btw

AAACK BRAVO!!!!!!

PFFFT

....................oh schpood is grilling him. someone clocked him finally

FLUX????????? WHY ARE YOU HERE TOO??!??!?!??!??????

this also partially why i was so confused why he was telling meagon he was leading the rebellion... like LEADING? he'd barely made rapport with the citizens themselves. his character turnaround was in the span of like a day. it's very easy to know your character so well in your head that you forget to protray it in a way that makes sense to outsiders. i have indeed been there

i 100% beleive that his arc would have been accepted better if it wasn't foolish of all people that he chose to stick by. he rly needed to branch out in subtler ways. the tweet abt him switching sides bc of foolish x fortsy doesn't help much either, it really did seem like he was trend-hopping 😭😭 maybe im thinking too much abt it

https://x.com/britpng/status/1969938704761282577

oh! and the girl from that scary fucking purge clip from day 4 got her happy end, fuck yeah

i also wanna shoutout nighfix news, they were GOATs for keeping track of events when the imperian eye went off the grid, i lauve good journalism

anyhow, event's over. im so fatigued LOL, i dont know how i feel about the ending bcs i feel like i missed SO MUCH. so much complexity and layers that are missed due to just how many intersecting storylines and POVs there are, super exciting but so overwhelming. i know how the main story ended but im gonna take a break from looking at any state content for a bit and come back after all the epilogue days are over to catch up. i might come back here and jot down concluding thoughts when its done.

ANYHOW x2 !!! praise for the event !!! there is so much obvious care the staff put into the world of imperia - the capital is georgeous and the whole government system is so intricite - i feel like i've peeked into so many POVs and yet i still don't know even HALF of what was going down in the govt. that is SO COOL. so many different worlds told by so many different people. listennnn. as someone who has hosted and participated in storytelling events (in a much smaller scale lol), there is NO GREATER HONOR than participants using what u made and doing their own elavated shit in it. NO GREATER HONOR. i KNOW those 2.7 participants were overjoyed to have the space to craft a narrative unique to them, to make friends and factions and community like no other. not to mention the supplemental material like the official newpaper, the mascots, and the fucking YOUTUBE CHANNEL?? HELLO? was there even a main story?? i feel as if 2.7 is more like an anthology set in one location. idk i just feel rly overjoyed i got to see allthis live. every single POV i glanced into, i always felt so immersed. i had a great time.
