The Kony poo poo is being run by a bunch of college kid wannabe mercenaries who are using donations to pay their loving salaries, read the GBS thread and don't send your drat money to fund violence in Africa.

Here are some of the people behind it:



Ducklips McRocketLauncher isn't worthy of your money.

Only 34% of the money given to them has gone to Africa, and most of that was in the form of guns and military supplies for the PLA who are also raping and murdering people.

He made it to a Quest Bed and died on it in the last universe, but unfortunately, it wasn't his Quest Bed. I'm certain he'd have recognized the iconography on it if it were his own. So whose session was he in? I assume he was one of John's neighbors, as he was a friend of Dad and John said that his neighbors are always busy with very serious business.

Entering a session that you weren't intended to play in suggests a plot device that could be employed. I'm not even sure if I'm serious or not, which, when talking about MSPA, is a good sign that I'm on to something.

Well, if Fedorafreak accidentally ended up in the A1 kids' session, then he wasn't the only one, seeing as Jade's grandpa (who may or may not be an older Jake) was in the session as well.

EDIT: Surely I'm not the only MSPA reader who thinks Fedorafreak looks like Benedict Cumberbatch, am I?

What's all this then?
I know a ritual that will surely summon an update. Let's post theories on how this session will shake out and how Lord English could be defeated.
Any theories me make will most likely be dismantled by the next update, which will occur within minutes of posting. (probably)
I'll go first: The Battlefield Jade's carrying is going to be used to complete Billious Slick in the Alpha session. It will only be possible with the things the Beta kids are bringing, as there will be no frogs in the Alpha session.
Lord English will be faced in person, but will be unclimatically left alone, 'cause that's how Hussie rolls, screw big fight scenes. The completion of the Alpha session will "seal off" the chain of infinite sessions, keeping Lord English in a loop of infected universes. The Alpha session is indeed the beginning of a new "chain" of sessions, free from his influence.

When everyone is trying to fight off Lord English, Jane will summon Problem Sleuth. He will write Lord English a very strongly worded letter that disapproves of him and how he manipulates universes.

This will do so much sorrow-related damage that it will destroy Lord English and reveal his true form; Mobster Kingpin. In reality, Lord English is just a very powerful suit made out of Death's body that Mobster Kingpin has been using to destroy universes in order to get back at Problem Sleuth for killing Demonhead Mobster Kingpin. Homestuck will end with the kids + Trolls + Problem Sleuth using a ridiculously overpowered COMBO ATTACK to destroy Mobster Kingpin once and for all, then the kids and trolls will enter the new universe that was just made.

So Dirk, Jane and Jake (was attacked by Dirk's robot and his island is full of Alternian wildlife) are indeed years ahead in the future aren't they.

The roles of UU and uu are starting to make sense to me now. I don't think they live on Alternia, they're living on the Condesce's Earth and they may quite possibly be sharing their session with the B2 kids. One of them could be the hero of Space, since none of the B2 kids have that aspect and it is essential to a successful Sburb session.

It would also make sense that at least UU would wear the Sufferer's sign, since the Condesce and her fleet are from A2 Alternia and thus would have known the Sufferer. (It doesn't explain young Mindfang's sufferer sign, though.)

How, just how are people able to predict poo poo like this so accurately? It's amazing. Or maybe it's just more influencing the author rather than predicting what he'll do next.

Couple notes:

- The Daedric overlay naturally says "BUT NOT MANY" to go with "years in the future".
- I really love the second part of the music. Great use of Dissension.
- Jane didn't prototype. It's still unclear whether the disappearing tree and blue glowies mean she managed to enter anyway or what. Was there even a meteor or was that just the battleship approaching? (It was the battleship approaching is what I'm saying. No reckoning.)
- The volcano is seen submerged. This suggests that, as expected, there is no forge in this session.
- Fishghost lady popped up again at the end there. Kinda supports the already nigh-unavoidable idea that the ghosts are the A1 players and she's that set's version of the Condesce.

There were lots of hints! Dirk had a bunch of Atlantis references about him, for example. I didn't quite pick up on it myself until I read somebody else spelling it out, but it seemed a pretty strong possibility after that. And now it's confirmed.

I'm not sure, but I think she done hosed up and didn't use the entry item in time.

Either that or the Condesce hosed with the coding of Sburb pretty bad.

I don't think it matters though. G'drat, that was a curveball.

I'm really not sure where things go from here. For a moment I thought Dad was going to get prototyped but it looks like Jane has entered the Medium.
