This is how the comic actually ends. Lord English doesn't get defeated, Jack Noir is never bested in combat, John never realizes Vriska died, we'll never find out what Jake's huge card is, and the nancho party storyline will never, ever get picked up again.

How do you expect things to go with the author dead?

Pretty well. I mean, if there was one Robohuss, there's probably more than one.

Lord English's only vulnerability is cue balls, huh? That actually makes a certain amount of sense. In addition to the established billiards imagery, recall that Doc Scratch's omniscience has only ever been shown to fail in two instances: when up against Void powers, and concerning the location of a Magic Cue Ball.

Why stop at online? He wouldn't even have to do it very long. Just shoot himself in comic, spend the next thirteen days hiding in the basement where he's stocked soup or something, pretend to be vanished mysteriously.

Best April Fools Day prank?

This is my favourite panel of Homestuck thus far.

Huss has always been pretty good at this, but that is just such a beautifully, retardedly awesome example of juxtaposing the serious with with humorous.

No Lord English that is not how guns work! You get a pass though because that gold AK is pretty swank.

The kids are going to randomly alchemize a cue ball and promptly forget about it until the end of the chapter, aren't they?

Welp, guess this'll be the April Fools prank where Hussie dies and there's a brief "The comic's over! Bye everybody!" before coming back after April Fools ends.

I'm enjoying this last hurrah of humorous authour shenenigans before Lord English sets up shop as the foremost power of the comic.

Holy poo poo. I'm going to need an avatar of English on this page, ASAP.

I'm really confused at English's place in the narrative right now. In fact, I'm starting to doubt he'll ever come in contact with any of the kids or trolls at all, and instead is going to have all his story threads wrapped up in the Hussieverse, with Slick being the one to put him down. This would leave the Condesce as the final challenge for the strip's main characters.

I'm a little apprehensive about the comic going down that route. I like stories where the heroes actually meet the goddamn main antagonist. Of course, I'm probably just being super paranoid, and MSPA is about to become THE ENGLISH SHOW (Oh god please).

Well it's odd, especially in this stage of the narrative, when most of the main characters don't even know who the main antagonist (Lord English) IS. Rose only knows about him because Scratch mentioned it in passing. The rest understand jack poo poo.

It uses a ruleset but it's pretty open ended that basically lays down a few guidelines and the rest is basically "roll with it"

Most of the rules are just related to battling.

I mean, at this point I feel like practically all of the base rules have been established, while the story just focuses on sessions that go off the rails. Admittedly, title effects aren't completely clear, but I don't think Hussie is ever exactly going to give a list of definitive effects. You could probably just handwave any conflicts that actually came up as 'different session,' anyway.
