I only just caught wind of it recently. It's in Melbourne, and, for some bizarre reason, Adelaide.

Over in the webcomics thread there was just a mini Homestuck discussion, and I noticed that there was some confusion as to where MSPA actually started. I figure everyone who might actually care about this would read this thread, so I'll post this here.

It actually started on what is now the MSPA Forums: http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?23660-MS-Paint-Adventure-Jailbreak

It may seem strange, since the forums as they are now clearly reference MSPA as the entity that's existed since Problem Sleuth. That's because before April 2009, the MSPA Forums were called the Gangbunch Fora. The site was just a small place where Andrew and his other webcomic drawing friends hung out. He reworked it into the MSPA Forums right before Homestuck started to give people a better place to post suggestions than the blog he'd been using for Problem Sleuth and to give the community a sort of "home base".

This has been your MSPA history lesson for today.

See, that confuses the heck out of me, because I read Jailbreak somewhere before I knew about MSPA, and I could have sworn it was in GBS with people submitting directions.

I remember Drillgorg and everything.

Maybe it was a copycat, or he reposted it?

I mean, there were some things in GBS that worked kind of like Jailbreak, like this one, but I don't think Hussie or Drillgorg were involved.

He doesn't have an SA account, so I dunno! Zorak either bought him one or offered to a while back, but as far as I know he never used it and definitely didn't have one before.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
If I recall, those kinds of things were pretty popular in GBS a while ago, maybe around the time of the glut of "MS paint circles trying to be squares" type threads, which is why I, too was confused as to the origin of MSPA.

I thought MSPA started on the Penny Arcade forums? I'd heard that somewhere.

Regy Rusty
Apr 26, 2010

You heard wrong, I guess? Andrew and his friends were all active on the Penny Arcade forums as well, but I just linked you to the original Jailbreak thread with the suggestions in their original posts and everything.

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff originated on the PA forums, so maybe you're thinking of that.

Wizardology was a PA forums thing originally - he was still Special-Olympics/s_o there too, so I think he started out with non-MSPA stuff there.

Past me is going to probably feel pretty smug when he finds out that

some weird breeding mechanism with the human team ends up creating the 12 trolls, where each is some combination of a pair of humans (4*3=12)

Wait, breeding? So an ectobiological mutant can mutate enough that the result is of a different gender to the original?

Also, I think you're getting to the part where the huge bulk of the fandom discovered the comic. To think, Homestuck would never have been so popular if it weren't for the trolls.

So it looks like Roxy's going to send Jaspers back into the alternate timeline to continue (complete? I've lost track) the loop. At least, that's what it looks like.

For the record, I don't think it's a reference to nyancat, but isn't 'nyan' the word the Japenese use for the sound a cat makes, like we use 'meow'? That's probably what snucks is thinking of?

Yes, nyan is the Japanese onomatopoeia for cat noises.
