The End of Game Blogging

+12

Introduction

I joined JetPunk in 2021, and did it just for quiz taking. I loved taking quizzes, and I aimed to get all the badges. However, then I discovered Interesting Facts, and I wanted to get a fact on there so bad. So for months, I aimed and aimed and checked every day. By August I had eight facts on it. However, the IF pages is not what this blog is about. One day, a certain car brand loving JetPunker posted an invitation to a little game called "United States Battle Royale." It was the first blog I ever read, and I signed up and I had fun doing it. I thought that all blogs except game blogs were bad.

My Experiences

I loved doing the United States Battle Royale game, and then European Countries Battle Royale came along and it was even better, until it was cancelled of course. All the other blogs I saw just as text and boring text, no game, no excitement. That is when I discovered who Capybarra is. He has more blogs than any other JetPunker, and they are game blogs. His blogs alone made up 25-45% of the RUB at their peak. So I was determined to join JetPunk Mafia, his latest series, but for some reason I was thinking more about my own debut, which came in the form of my own season of United States Battle Royale, which had 8 less players than the OG due to me being a rather unknown, and after its success, I made a massive schedule to post daily game blogs EVERY DAY from November to June.

The End of My Era

Then I posted a mini series, Canadian Provinces Battle Royale, the very day after USBR ended. It filled up same day, but I got criticism for making game blogs from guys like ItzIngenious and BautyArg, the latter who made a blog criticizing them. Terribly sorry Bauty, but I lashed out on that blog. Hard. I called it the worst blog ever written, and hated on you for it. But it told me to diversify and instead of starting the miniseries instantly I made four blogs of maps I made instead, and diversified into map blogs and more. I made game blogs and even finished European Countries Battle Royale, but I saw participation in game blogs was rapidly waning.

TDA

I also participated in a game blog, Total Drama Action by Capybarra/CAP12345. And I thought it was the best. thing. ever. But, nobody seemed that into it, and I realized how much most people, especially those not in the game, despised it. And I can see why. Why would you want to watch a repetitive game over and over again? Well it was fun while it lasted.

The End of Groups

On May 8, 2026, a day that will live in infamy, Quizmaster abruptly deleted groups, friends, and soon, DMs. Game blogs such as USBR, World Conflict 26, and Total Drama JetPunk heavily relied on them for voting, so without them they will collapse. Solutions like private quizzes were proposed, but will that really work? I say no. Motivation will absolutely die and engagement will fall to tragically sad levels.

The Future

We can build a new future, one without game blogs in it. Blogs such as Country Iceberg (very fire), or JetPunk Magazine are what we need, as well as what ChatGPT called the greatest recent blog, BautyArg's Christian Denominations Part 1. We need informative or fun blogs that don't clog the RUB up and significant effort is put in them. So brothers, join me in making this future.

Counter-Argument

Game blogs are fun, as me and many other participants would say. I met my JetPunk BFFs, like BautyArg, Capybarra, Froggodoggo, Aragorn, Anonymousbear25, et cetera et cetera, there. I had a blast participating. But as a USBR and ECBR host, it gets highly repetitive and people can get highly enraged from them. Plus, they require many episodes very quickly, causing good blogs to get buried in the chaos

WC26 Cancellation

And due to the end of groups, and overall lack of motivation, I am terribly sorry to say, World Conflict 26 is cancelled. I am terribly sorry to anyone who participated and simultaneously thankful they were there. 

Other things i wanted to address

Username change limits: You now have 5 changes, and I used four :sob:. Is there any way to beg the Quizmaster for more?

My MB Ban: On May 8, 2026, in protest of the deletion of Groups, i got Banned from the Message Board. Anyone know how to appeal this?

I made an alt: LikeAG64 is my alt account, it has two WS puzzles. so check them out!

Goodbye

Allalloollay and goodbye friends, and happy blogging!

I am glad you enjoyed the USBR game! It is very sad to see game blogs go, however, this could lead to more informational blogs being made (like my State Overview) or have a completely different type of blog series roll out!

As for the MB ban, I say go to the Quizmaster in 6 months, that was what happened with the mass ban in April 2025

Sad to see the game blogs go for the most part, but I hope the void inspires more users to step up with high quality blogs like you mentioned

As the user with the closest amount of blogs to Capy, he overtook me earlier this year I think, I sometimes became frustrated by the amount of game blogs that were on the RUB. However this was just a personal opinion, game blogs didn't interest me at all. Though I didn't complain, because they had just as much right to be here, many users seemed to enjoy them, just not for me.

It is a shame that due to circumstances these type of blog won't work very well, hopefully someone will come up with a system that works, and then I can get frustrated again!

There does need to be some more blogs written, the last thing we want is for the RUB to descend into chaos, prompting it to be shut down forever. Let's keep it real guys!

I used to love participating in game series, and it's a bit sad to see them go. However, I'm pretty hopeful that the next few months will bring an uptick in higher quality blogs, both fun and informational ones.

Stay tuned, JetPunk..
