Colon V posted:You guys do realize that this only leaves one enemy in the entire continuity that can hope to stand up to them, right? At this point, I'm pretty sure it's going to be REAL SPOILERS kids and trolls vs Lord English. I think they aren't going to be happy about being manipulated by Doc Scratch to help Lord English, and with five people at God-Tier (kids + Aradia, and that's not counting the chance that there'll be a way to make the dead trolls go God-Tier), I think they'll have a chance to show Lord English their displeasure at being manipulated.

Walliard posted:So hey, who wants to come up with a nickname for 4x-prototyped PM? REAL SPOILERS Yeah, that was never confirmed, just speculation. The lives being wasted thing was probably a reference to their dreambeds all being destroyed when Jack entered their session and blew up their planets. They didn't know about the beds on their planets at the time she said that.

So, yeah, So far, everything's gone according to Lord English's Grand Plan... but the Alpha Timeline is over, he's been summoned, and there are four new deities risen to stand in his way, with the core of their powers preserved. It does seem clear that Aradia's been working with his interests all along though, so she's almost certainly going to be an enemy later on. And I'm pretty sure I called the whole "The whole big thing Scratch has been running has been a sham from day one. The Green Sun will continue to exist beyond the Critical Moment, and this whole routine is just to let his master propagate" a while back, which is nice to see I predicted it  Yeah though, the Final Boss has finally risen. I hope the Trolls manage to find some way of keeping up with the Kids though. Time for Act 6! GSLE, an entire multi-hundred page segment dedicated to a single boss fight. You know it's going to happen Alectai fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Oct 25, 2011 |

A Spider posted:Yep But REAL SPOILERS the troll's quest beds were destroyed when Jack destroyed all of their planets. However, I can see Jade using her space powers to do something like warp the dead trolls to completed Sburb sessions and put them on other session's quest beds that match their titles/roles/classes in Sgrub in order to trick the game into making them go God-Tier.

<------------ See that? That is literally the face I made when I watched the EoA5 flash (megaupload didn't crap out on me, thankfully). I'd say "holy loving poo poo" over this if that phrase wasn't too much of an understatement. The music was crazy, the art was great, everything, everything about this was... I need to invent a new word for this... hussnificent SPOILERCHAT Jade's god tier ascension is the best part and all, but goddammit this is going to attract all the furries to Homestuck. All of them. Also, hello? Lava volcanos anyone? John is officially the biggest badass in paradox space. Scratch is a lier, huh? Knew it all along. Don't ever trust anyone who says "I never lie", that's usually the first lie they tell you. WV noooooooooooo! Oh well, let's face it, the exiles were never going to be that important in the story, except apparently PM. Only thing that surprised me besides how beyond my expectations this was is, no Lord English, and no yellow yard. Maybe that shows up in the beginning of act 6. So what's the first thing the kids and trolls are going to say to each other now that they've met? One more thing, is there an official list of the art team contributers to this flash? Honestly it kinda looks like only 3 or 4 other artists worked on this flash.

I liked that the scratch mechanism was a massive 7inch vinyl getting burnt by a huge CD reader laser. In the above sequence do we think that John killed Hephaestus?

Lady Charlemagne posted:REAL SPOILER QUESTION I am confused about what happened to Sollux. Near as I can tell, his duality schtick means he's presently got one alive self on the meteor and one half-dead self with Aradia. The meteor Sollux went full-bore on his psionics and moved the entire meteor out of harm's way and towards the Sun - possibly because he could sense his other self there, I dunno.

The half-dead one that's chillaxing at the Green Sun with Aradia, and the one on the meteor, who's bleeding out as he thionicth the trolls towards the green sun. Or at least that was my interpretation. It's also possible that he's only half-dead by the time he gets to the green sun?

I'm literally shaking. That was everythign I could have possibly hoped for. I don't even know where to start in talking about this. I suppose I'll go with the only thing I verbally exclaimed about : Sollux being the second troll to fulfill his ancestor's role.

MORE SPOILERCHAT He has lied, several times, it's just everyone was tricked by his charisma and him handwaving it as a whole "Oh, I never /Lied/, I just let someone else do it for me". He always had an answer whenever someone pointed out his bullshit, and everyone figured "Eh, it must just be his nature not to lie". Unfortunately, the best liar is the one who saves the deception for the Critical Moment, and the hints the Kids got towards it weren't heeded by most, or deflected by various Agents. The only one who seemed to realize that they were being tricked was Jade, which is why she set up the situation the way she did and kept everyone out of the loop.

I think Sollux is in the process of killing himself to get the trolls to the Sun, much as his ancestor killed himself trying to get the Empress across the universe and back to Alternia. We're seeing one dead/dream self and one live self because he's in the process of dying and has a foot on both sides (duality, hurf). Aradia's earlier reference to his corpse means that he will have exhausted his strength and died by the time the troll meteor arrives.
