I would be 0kay with this and it also brings the total count to 12 in the new session if Sollux and Aradia leave so everything works out.

Everyone get on the Vriska train, there's still time.

I hope this is true so that during the three years Jade tells John that shes dead, then when they finally get to the session and meets Vriska, John thinks hes been pranked for 3 years.

If Sollux stays behind, it'd also mean that the new session has a Hero of everything except Doom. That seems a bit odd, unless it is important that there be no Doom.

Wasn't there some theory that doom players are a bad thing, and the presence of one of them in a game meant it was tainted by lord english? It was just after the god tier hoody designs were being released, and we found out that doom's design is A GREEN SKULL WITH PERFECTLY CIRCULAR EYES

Maybe the fact that the B2 8-player session has no player of doom means that they'll be actually to win the game.

I prefer the theory that doom players just get unlimited lived though, since every time we've seen sollux die so far he's just been replaced by another version of himself.

The way I see it, the last arrival is:
PM and WV (by far the most likely)
Jack (somewhat less likely, but still entirely possible)
Beta Vriska (loving longshot)

Crossing my fingers for Beta Vriska.

KoB posted:

Rose already talked about fighting Jack, so its weird that she would be kinda vague about who the guest is if its Jack. But then I guess shes not exactly flying off to fight him either, so Jack sorta makes sense.

And I dont think PM defeated him, or else I think Rose wouldnt bother with talking about fighting a guy thats dead.

Yeah, I didn't mean "PM beats Jack, then comes along." I more meant that PM would just show up without having fought Jack yet.

Just to add to the guess pile: Spades Slick could very well be who they're waiting for, considering his possibly not dead status and the close proximity of the Green Sun. Not entirely sure how he'd escape a sun though...

Remember the last time we were waiting on a guest to arrive shortly? Haa Haa.

He was carrying something that is going to come up again in a big way later anyway, in case any of you forgot about him. He has to have a way of either handing it off or keeping it to use at the right moment.

I'd just like to say that this panel is the most adorbs thing ever. John's little satisfied smile just cuts me right to the core, and I can't but make :3: faces at it!

Of course... the licorice scotty dogs. Only Hussie himself could have seen it coming!

quote:

ARADIA: the knight of time is not necessarily the tactician
ARADIA: he is a powerful warrior class which exploits the flow of time as a weapon
ARADIA: rose is the one who must play the role of the strategist
ARADIA: the seer class knows her aspect comprehensively
ARADIA: as a knower of all fortune she can see the circuitous path that will lead to the most favorable outcome for everyone

See, I love this. I want to hear more about the classes and aspects and what each one does. Is Knight the only offensive class? What's the difference between Mage, Sylph, and Witch? What is even the point of being a Prince? What do Doom or Hope or Blood even do?

...I think my inner :spergin: is showing, sorry. I know Hussie is probably never going to go into minute detail about this stuff because it isn't really important to the plot. Alas...

Here. It's not canonical, but as far as fanfiction goes, it's pretty decent. I didn't much care for the running gimmick she used for the Rage players, but it's still pretty interesting.

Seems like the kind of thing he might ramble about on a blog once it's all over though. Like "yeah even though it never really came up I did plan a rough outline of what every hero class/affinity might do, check it out". It certainly wouldn't be the first time he'd laid groundwork for a part of the story that never ended up being fully realised.

Yeah, that stuff is really cool and interesting to me too, however sperg-emoticon that might be, but I remember reading on some ancient-rear end blogpost that he thought about the systems and concepts in sburb and how they work and people are gonna clamor for that stuff anyway (i.e., the person who asked what Heart powers did on tumblr) so there's no way we won't get to hear it

I think if you have a nerdy bone in your body the Lands/Titles system is pretty much doomed to be like crack to you. It's like Hogwarts houses, or wand components: it provides the reader with an imaginative template for what dozens of other characters in this universe might be like, or what they themselves might be like if they were in it. Self-replicating meta-stories.

The thing about Vriska is that she enrages people no matter what happens, so you get :qq: both coming and going. Just think of what the John/Karkat shippers (approximately half the fandom, if AO3 is at all indicative) are going to do if he starts pushing John/Vriska.

John stating directly that he doesn't swing that way and has no romantic interests in Karkat at all didn't stop them, what the hell makes you think John and Vriska getting flirty with each other will? Shippers are crazy, they will keep sailing their favorite ship right up a goddamn waterfall, well after the characters they ship have gone their separate ways, married other people, had kids and died of old age. But the shippers are still there, sailing that goddamn ship. "Steady on, just a matter of time now, the winds are gonna change. I can feel it".
