President Ark posted:Every day, with the occasional twice-a-day update (usually 12+ hours apart). If he cranks production back up to pre-2011 levels (and it seems kind of likely that he'll be looking to blitz through this post-Scratch reintro stuff, although that may just be wishful thinking talking) expect 2-3 batches of panels to hit most days, usually spread out between the hours of roughly 3 PM to 3 AM EST.

It would be pretty sweet if the update schedule picked up after today, but I'm not holding my breath.loquacius posted:Well, don't we know for a fact that J's grandma at least is some instance of Jade? He refers to her by name. So either John and Jade BECAME the guardians, or the scratched session made new versions of them. But if she's his guardian, why would he be her penpal as well? Unless he knows that he's talking to her in the past/in an alternate universe, it makes more sense if he just thinks she lives far away. I can't recall him actually giving away how much he knew about time shenanigans, other than that he knew Jade could see the future. Who knows?

If every Troll stayed alive, including Sollux, the only elements left that arent alive are Heart, Void, Hope, and Life. Guardian kids will be these four so that we have 1 of each element alive.

I like this idea in theory, but wasn't it debated/theorized a while back that having a Hero of Space and a Hero of Time were absolute necessities to any session of Sburb? Or perhaps if our original kids join the fight that won't be a problem?

J's letters are the best source of information we had about the post-Scratch universe before meeting Jane, which is what makes me confident that either John and Jade took part in pre-Sburb events in it, or entirely new instances of them did. I'm hoping it's the latter so we can find out what their lives would have been like if left to their own devices

Let's throw some impossible, groundless speculation on this roaring bonfire and maybe burn off our eyebrows. We know that, in theory, successful players of Sburb create new universes and are then allowed to enter them and rebuild their civilization while living like "gods." How does this happen? Perhaps... perhaps they have Exile-like command terminals??? (Before we get started on it, I know, this raises more questions, like the nature of the Troll session that created this Scratched Earth, and how it relates to the Troll Ancestors we know who were said to have failed by a man who never lies except when he does. But, well, it's a thought!)

I always thought that successful players would be a bit more direct than that. I mean, players who play the game right end up immortal, with fantastic powers and fancy costumes. They'd probably be more of the kind of gods in ancient mythology who physically intercede in the affairs of the world rather than the more modern Western kind of gods as invisible forces that influence people by speaking to them or sending down prophets.

hey when John sent the Pardox kids back in time, Nana had the current version of his bunney, Mom had Vodka Mutini, Bro had Dream Cal and Old man Harley had dual-flintlock pistols. barring Mr. Harley' flintlocks the other three of those items are accounted for in this new universe...

loquacius posted:No, we know she's his grandma too, that's from this page. Remember? Pink wwigglers comin out a Jade's owwn personal torso making Eridan's fins curl in distaste? That doesn't really prove anything though. Jade thought Grandpa was her Grandpa and he technically wasn't. All that page proves is what we already knew -- he says he's her grandson. That doesn't mean she's in the post-scratch universe, or that she isn't, or anything else really. Basically what I'm getting at is it doesn't make sense to be your own grandmother's penpal if she lives with you unless a) you know something about the Scratch, b) he thinks he's talking to her in the past, or c) none of the above -- she doesn't live with him so it makes perfect sense to him, and he doesn't realise crazy time/space poo poo is afoot. Right now it's unclear what J knows or thinks he knows, or even when he started writing these letters. For all we know, our Jade was the one who gave him the idea to start writing to her in the first place, and she only called herself his grandma because that's what she remembered him calling her.

Also, now I'm kind of thrown on how the guardians will be named. Jane and Jake are really similar to John and Jade, but they're also very similar to each other. Anyone got guesses for Bro and Mom? Dane and Lily, maybe? e: Anyone know where the symbol on Jake's shirt is from?

Alright, going by the last words of their intros, Jane will be the X of Life, and Jake will be the X of Hope. E:fb

I feel that is more than a coincidence. Actually, Jade was the one who held the bunny Rose sewed for John. Since both Jane and Jake have a bunny, then I think that confirms that Jade did get an alternate Guardian self, and so did the rest of the kids. Jade probably gave her bunny to Jane! Guardian John probably also gave his joke book to Jake, too, it seems... edit: Am I crazy or is the bottom of the panel all scrambled? And his name is English? Oh boy...

I checked MSPA just out of curiosity while getting caught up in this thread, and I got there just after it updated. Go me. I guess Hussie's going through the introductions as quickly as he can, so I doubt we'll see any more Syllodex shenanigans, but thats okay since we've got a lot of stuff to get through. And whoever mentioned pre-2011 levels of updating is pretty much on the ball.

Considering that this universe has a Cal and presumably a magic cue-ball, if we go by the way the trolls' scratch went, I think we can make a good guess at who Jake's guardian is. Someone omniscient, with a consciousness possibly unencumbered by the fact that he exists across multiple universes. One might describe him as a smug shithead. Haa haa. Hee hee. Hoo hoo.
