Eret REACTS to Game Theory: The Dark Future of the Dream SMP (Minecraft)

Yeah this is this is game theory doing a video on the dream smp which is okay let’s watch it let’s watch it Oh no Evil dream this feels so weird why is this a thing there’s a game why is there a game theory video on the dream This is surreal for me because i used to watch his videos a lot i’m probably not in this but it’s still insane the internet well i did game theory the show that’s like a baby zombie small and unassuming but persistent and dangerous today i’m here to talk about the journey

And now that i’ve said that i’m sure that all of my viewers probably fall into one of two camps those yelling at last our prayers are answered by those that are wondering who the heck i’m talking about so at this point if you care at all about minecraft or

Youtube or minecraft youtubers you’ve probably heard of a guy named dream he’s become famous for a lot of things including manhunt videos unsolved mystery videos as well as an appearance on one of this channel’s very own minecraft lore videos excuse me why is there a big neon green block creature

In my video but one of the things that’s really is over the course of the last year is the dream smp or survival multiplayer server so you might be thinking survival multiplayer server so it’s just dream playing minecraft with a lot of his friends and

Well yeah sort of the truth is that the dream smp is to minecraft survival multiplayer what professional wrestling is to well the sport of wrestling structured improv there’s a story here made by a team of writers yeah writers while the broad strokes of the plot are planned out all of the connective tissue

Between those major plot beats is improvised of course there’s room for plenty of unexpected gameplay moments [Laughter] ladies and gentlemen in the world of professional wrestling that is what we call a shoot or a moment in professional wrestling that’s interesting this comparison i’ve am i ruining this for anyone in the

Audience we all know that professional wrestling is scripted right trying to summarize the timeline of the dream smp is like trying to summarize the timeline of the 20th century if i tried to start i’d have to cover the birth of a nation in no fewer than four separate wars and that’s

Not me making a joke or trying to make an analogy here a lot of the story here is political in nature with an ongoing narrative being one of a nation in turmoil with warring political factions trying to gain power over the populace by any means necessary and

All of it is taking place within live streams that’s so cool lots of very long live streams there have been over 30 people involved in this thing with the narrative playing out over hundreds of hours live streaming actually just saying hundreds of hours is understating it because totaling up

All the live streams across multiple channels to see the pov of multiple participants already gives you close to a hundred videos to watch one of those could be upwards of six to eight hours in length it feels almost impossible too considering however livestreams are happening seriously i feel like i have

To put a disclaimer here that the script for this video is being written right before christmas which almost guarantees that by the time it comes out the things i’m predicting have either been proven right or horribly horribly wrong at the same time we could not talk about

This thing it was without question the biggest thing happening in gaming in 2020 just behind among us a group of friends blowing up together on twitch because they’re using minecraft to create an ongoing improv narrative is incredible and absolutely worthy of attention i was getting a lot of requests on twitter to

Do a theory about this and i didn’t want to ignore you guys dude this is still a bit surreal for me because i used to watch game theory quite a bit hamilton reference i like it i practice law wilbur work next door even though he started at the very same time

Tommy in it began to climb how to account for his rise to the top man the hamilton references are non-stop and because we are on the subject of hamilton hamilton the musical actually provides a really good framework for still never watching it’s a story with the scope of

Everything that’s happening in the dream smp much like hamilton took a series of history defining events spanning several decades and condensed it down into a three-hour musical character study this theory is going to be taking a series of events spanning several months of six plus hour long live streams and condense it down

Into well something kind of resembling a character study centering on one specific hero and spoilers for those of you who don’t know the ending of hamilton but uh this story also ends in tragedy today’s video is all about who history has had its eyes on and who you should have your eyes on

Going forward in the dream smp and spoiler alert he’s already dead and with that intro allow me to tell you that’s hilarious the rise and fall of a tyrant and why he might be poised to rise once again this time from beyond the grave for a bit of background there are

Several major factions that exist within the dream essence little penis land what confusingly enough named dream smp for the sake of clarity most have taken to referring to this faction as the greater dream smp and i’m gonna follow their league i’ve heard that before but okay to being a neutral faction almost the

Sort of default faction for characters who haven’t split off to do their own thing as you might guess it’s led by its founder dream dream also gets executive veto over who’s allowed in the server for instance back in july when jay schlatt joined the server for the first time

He was banned very shortly after since the dream didn’t know him when it’s your party you get to decide who’s on the guest list i suppose the first major faction to declare its independence from the greater dream smp was lemanberg back in late july with the war for independence between le

Mansburg and the dream team faction finally settling in early august lumamberg started as an autocratic nation state with self-appointed dictator uh president wilbur suit presiding with tommy in it as his right-hand man however that dictator for life thing didn’t really pan out long term after all a ruler only rules by the

Consent of the governed despite the fact that wilbur suit had declared himself supreme leader the citizens weren’t taking his orders all that seriously so what do you do if you want to shore up legitimacy as a ruler you hold a democratic election i’m running for president the reason i’m running for president

Is because well i felt like it was fair of me to decide myself to be a dictator okay so maybe if you want to believe the man himself it was because he grew a conscience anyway wilverson joined by tommy anderson’s running mate ran as the politicians of gaming or paul for sure

The problem with democratic elections is that well people can run against you quackity who’d been up to that point a le mannburg outsider decided to run against him because well you’ve got to have yourself an opposition party my name is quackety and i’m running for president simply because

I didn’t think it was fair for wilbur suit to run a one-party democratic election or so democratic as he wants to call it it’s very unfair to work and he says that as well and all the people in le mans to vote for just one party quackity

Ran under the party banner of so we are gamers or swag for sure george stood for he lived up to his name by failing to show up to the presidential debates way to have a brand and stick to it man oh and you heard me right presidential debate the parties of swag 2020

And pog 2020 ran full-on campaigns including key endorsements quackity was at an immediate disadvantage here as his one key alleged endorsement ksi never actually showed up oh what endorsement is ksi he just hasn’t happened to responded yet ksi showed up eventually more like ksi not found

Oh in the corner wilbur and tommy in it wanting to assure the voters that they were the party that best represented the will of the people touted several key endorsements the most notable of them came from jay schlatt now you might be asking yourself wait jay schlatt didn’t

I just say that he was banned back in july several months before the election took place and that was what the crowd said too but apparently a server ban wasn’t about to stop wilbur and tommy deliver the key endorsement now after doing a lot of negotiations speech went very quickly off the rails

Democracy is overrated do you think you need a president i’ll be my own president of the stage please off the stage anyway with this wild card entering the race things dude it’s so cool looking back of all this jay schlatt actually challenging him wilbur and tommy decided to resort

To political horse trading in order to avoid the possibility of a j schlatt presidency why not invite swag 2020 to join pog 2020 to form a giant super party swag a fusion event when did that happen unfortunately it backfired the good news was that quackity who didn’t actually

Want to be president and was only running as a challenger to wilbur was willing to give his party’s votes to another party the bad news was that he chose jay schlatt i was enticed by your swog idea until you immediately admitted to me that you would only use me for votes you

Guys have clearly been trying to use me this entire time so it’s [ __ ] 20 20 it’s the kind of thing that makes you think maybe from the start that this was all a ruse by jay schlatt promising to endure 200 only to get himself unbanned and then

Enter the fray and take over for himself the man over here is executing some epic big brain maneuvers 200 pog 2021 45 percent of the vote swag 2020 won 30 percent of the vote jay schlatt won 16 of the vote with swag giving its votes to jay schlatt

J schlatt wins the election with a combined total of 46 percent indeed at one percent hogs 45 and that is where the reign of terror begins jay schlatt having effectively hijacked the democracy so cool it was time to run the old party out of town my first decree

As the president of la manburg the emperor of this great country is to revoke were exiled the pog 2020 campaign was no more but it lived on in spirit within the nation of pog topia building their own secret base of operations and working with a few members of the administration who

Managed to avoid exile that’s right they had a spy on the inside of jay schlatt’s operation and that spy’s name was tubbo Wasn’t really winning over the people you know calling democracy a lie immediately exiling half the population ain’t gonna win you too many friends so to get a few popularity points he began planning the manberg festival as a celebration of democracy with tubbeau to plan the events and deliver the keynote speech

Tubo and the old guard seized the opportunity to upstage the festival by placing tnt under the event stage all tubbo had to do was to give his speech and run away before the tnt went off but jay schlatt had other plans our people have been beaten down by

Rurals and dictators for so long now we are finally free free to elect who we want free to live how we want i’d like to thank everyone for coming to this wonderful event what’s wrong no it’s just i was just thinking about it nothing sinister at all about that laugh

By the end of the speech jay schlatt had encased the undercover spy tubbo in yellow concrete sentencing him to immediate execution help me do something real quick okay tubo tubbo was sentenced to death by rocket launcher with tubbo’s ally technology being the one to serve as executioner there was a little

Accidental collateral damage with jay schlatt also dying in the explosion better across all of these events one thing should be painfully clear jay schlatt is in d d terms totally lawful evil will curse not the character but the out of character writer who’s the closest thing

We have to a creative authority for this chapter of the s p confirmed in a reddit post quote schlatt is very lawful evil schlatt follows one creed he was elected fairly description until they lose the next election saying i’m chaotic to assert dominance and punish rebellious factions emphasis on punishment schlatt isn’t very

Concerned with keeping order or even maintaining justice his priority is delivering suffering and pain to those he sees as deserving it under the law now after this failed attempt at insurgency it was only inevitable that jay schlatt’s man berg would go to war this is another one of

My patients jay schlatt’s reign of terror coming to an end in the most anti-climatic way possible running away from the fighting stumbling into the hot dog van that originally served as the nexus for wilbur suit and tommy and its drug empire getting drunk and experiencing

What appeared to be a stroke or a heart attack what do you say for those of you who don’t know a smelling toast is actually a classic symptom of having a stroke anyway the much beloved leader received a massive funeral with everyone behaving with exactly the level of reverence and

Decorum that you’d expect them to show for jay schlapp his entire body was picked apart what remains weren’t taken as souvenirs were recovered by quackity as part of a plot of his own within my possession are all five of jay schlatt’s bones i busted that grave open and i took it wait

You’re gonna try and bring jay schlatt back to life we bring jay schlapp back to life but you know what frankenstein did when he brought frankenstein this was uh quackity did you actually read the book because if your takeaway was frankenstein animated a monster and it was completely under his control and

Totally did not backfire at all you might want to read about the chapters again so with that level out of the way what follows are my predictions about the future of the dream smp and it all centers around one man in particular first off kiss it wasn’t obvious we

Haven’t seen the last of jay schlatt and i’m not just talking about his appearance as a ghost in the live stream of questionable canonicity is this like part of the plot that you guys script uh it’s it’s pretty you know what it’s fine it’s fine how you doing he’s

Been too big a player for far too long to simply be written out of existence and more importantly the groundwork has been laid for his eventual resurrection wilbur soot mentioned on a live stream that the team was playing with the idea that each character gets three canon deaths before it’s considered permanent

Everyone gets three everyone gets three cannon deaths before they real life die yes even if we count jay schlatt’s death during the festival rocket launcher explosion as canon between that and his heart attack stroke he’s yet to use up all his lives besides this is too good of an

Opportunity for history to repeat itself in an absolutely poetic fashion because while jay schlatt is lawful evil and motivated to punish people for going against him his role as punisher is much more central than that jay schlatt is almost like a karmic force of the universe who punishes

People for their hubris remember the entire reason he was able to rejoin the server in the first place was because the pog 2020 party thought it would be politically advantageous for them to receive his endorsement they looked to use jay schlatt as a tool to achieve their own political ends and

It backfired horribly leading to them not only minecraft being forced into exile by the monster they had helped to create ultimately leading to an all-out war against the faction that he usurped from them and now we have ourselves a cackling quackity saying that he plans to use the powers of necromancy to reanimate

Schlatt as a political puppet so now he can seize control of man bird quackity have you learned nothing based on the comment about frankenstein’s monster the answer seems to be yes it’s my view that jay schlatt more than being a mere villain here is really more like a force of nature

Something that people have and will continue to try and harness for their own ends with predictable results every time anytime someone starts thinking of seizing power for themselves like wilbur did in the early days of manberg and like quackity’s done more recently it’ll end predictably with jay schlatt

Conniving some scheme that results in him returning to the game and him eventually sitting on the throne with the people around him being forced against the very moment to much like the joker in the dark knight his real power hinges on his ability to bring out the worst in

Others and the only way for him to lose is for the people around him to allow their better cells to take over until then jay schlatt will continue to be a relentless force delivering karmic irony upon those who think they can use him as a puppet but hey that’s just a theory

A game theory that’s so cool that was so so cool i can’t believe there’s an actual game theory episode on the dream snp that’s insane that’s so cool You
