Can I... talk about the theory that winners help craft the next game?
Because, and I really can not say this enough, it puts So Much into perspective.
Everything starts out Normal. Three lives, simple, cut and dry, there hasn't been a winner yet. No one to help craft the game. (And there's something to be said about how simple it really was. Not even a real expectation of the world becoming pvp or combative. No idea of the war to come)
Then Grian wins. The green killer, the man who vowed his first life to the one whose life he took. The next game the boogie man is born. A mechanic that allows and, in fact, demands, a green kill. People can trade lives back and forth, currency and debt wrapped up in one. (can we still be friends? Said the red partner. A life time later and reds are hostile, alone. Maybe it's an answer: No. Not anymore)
Scott wins this time. He refuses to play the game. He will not kill his team, he will love and he will do so fiercely and with all of himself. The next game people are attached through to their very souls. Every bit of damage to one soul is done to its twin. There is no boogeyman. (There is no way for a widow to be left without their love)
Pearl wins and she wins a blood bath. Spent the game draped in red, only wolves for company. Sitting in her tower, shivering in ice, maybe she wanted it to end. To see where it would. Limited life rewards you for killing, limited life has a clock tick tick ticking down, you always no how long you have. A curse yes, but a blessing too.
Now It's Martyn's turn.
And what a turn it is.
Keep your secrets, says the disloyal man, keep them well. Everything hurts, everything Matters, says the man fracturing with every loss. (What if we could love each other without hurting? Says The Hand, who never wanted to be coated in blood)
More importantly, Martyn has always seen the watchers below the surface. Now, they're right here in front of him. Something that could almost... be rebelled against, no? Something that someone else could finally point to and say: hey, hey isn't that familiar?
Sometimes people act snooty about "Grian mains" who only watch his videos but those people are ignoring the Grian Effect.
The Grian Effect is when you say "I'm a Grian fan, so I'm just going to watch his POV of Hermitcraft/Double Life/Last Life/3rd Life/MCC/Evo etc..."
And then something happens that makes you go, "Oh, I want to see that prank or event from the other person's perspective" (particularly in the days before prox chat, if you wanted to hear how the other person reacted) or "That person was really fun to team with, I wonder if their vids/streams are any good?"
Then you go "Oh, huh, I like this person's style. I guess I'll watch the rest of their vid..."
And before you know, it you're following 82 hermits and 156 streamers and it's all Grian's fault.
That's the Grian Effect.
MAG 39 will always and forever remain in my top 5 favourite episodes
Okay so. Cleo confirmed in her video that there are two victors... but honestly I'm kind of hoping for a twist where the last two standing have to kill each other. Like imagine a pair of soulmates are the last two standing, relieved that they've won... and then the game goes "there is still one player remaining" and they have to kill each other.
I feel like I'm watching people weaponize bdubs against eachother
