Huh. This is the first new troll that's not wearing the Sufferer's symbol.

Since they are all dumb teenagers brimming with strange alien hormones and FEELINGS, there is an omnipresent danger of asteroidcest-related fallout, though. "Asteroidcest" is a word which here means "getting romantically involved with one of a few people you are stuck on an asteroid with for a long period of time, possibly resulting in unavoidable resentment and awkwardness if you gently caress it up like a dumb teenager and thereafter have to keep hanging around them anyway because you are both STUCK ON AN ASTEROID." Like what's going on with Karkat's Feelings Jam.

I can't wait until the Year 2 update where everyone is ready to loving kill each other and going stir crazy.

The only thing that would make this fight that's about to happen better would be either Dave or Karkat angrily accidentally letting some private FEELINGS confession someone else made to them.

John was always kind of a dick to Dave. Maybe it's his way of showing he's comfortable around her? I mean, they've been hanging out pretty much non-stop for a year, they're teenagers, and they're siblings. Some ribbing and insults are to be expected.
Not to mention that they really don't have anyone else to talk to besides each other. They've got to be getting pretty sick of each other by now.

Evil Mastermind
Apr 28, 2008

I think John's keeping it together because he's the friendleader and he thinks he has to stay strong for everyone else. So he just acts like everything's fine. "Dad's dead, but I'm going to talk about flying so I don't start crying in front of Karkat when I have important stuff to do." "Oh, that girl I was talking to a lot and we liked each other? I'm sure she doesn't remember me, so I'm going to pretend I don't remember her."

I think the first time John is alone alone, he's going to just break down. :(

Seriously, this does make sense. How much would you really make of talking to someone over the internet for a few hours in the middle of all that?

Remember that a large part of John's personality is that he is pretty much everybody's friend and that he cares a lot about people. I wouldn't put it past him that he's going to pretend that he didn't really care that much about Vriska, because he thinks she won't remember him, so he's going to act like it's not a big deal so she doesn't look like a jerk or anything.

I don't think Eridan's death was "anti-climactic".

It'd pretty much have to be...Vriska got her arm and eye blown up and it didn't seem to have much of an effect beyond "woo, gettin' a little light headed here!"

If Rose, Vriska, and Aranea all were Light players who reached God Tier, why is Aranea the only one who displayed healing abilities? Shouldn't Rose have been able to heal WV without waiting for a dead Witch of Life to do it for her?
I'd wager that a healer of Light is more about mental healing than physical (as evidenced by how she's helping Terezi work through her feelings of guilt.)

Plus "restoring sight" would probably be within Light's purview anyway (and I think is the first time Light is used in its usual definition rather than the weird "luck" thing I still don't get.)

Cabbit posted:

Maybe. I think it's far more likely that healing isn't the exclusive purview of Life, it just has a higher predilection towards it as an element. If you happened to have a session with, say, a Prince of Life (which would, presumably, just destroy life in some sort of horrible biological sideshow of terror and mindfuck) you might need one of the other elements to step in as a healer.
That makes sense; it's established that anyone can revive another player via corpsesmooch, but only Feferi's been seen to bring someone back who's not a player.

I was going to say they'd pretty much have to be, since only Vriska hit God Tier, but then I remember Gamzee and I don't know what to think anymore.

Was it ever "confirmed" that Vriska was the only one who hit God Tier during the session? I could have sworn she said she was the only one who did it.

Not only did Gamzee create an affront to man, god, nature, and fandom; he's also sober and blurry again. Somehow, that's more terrifying.

E: Oh yeah I had a reason for coming to the thread here. Concerning Sburb RPG chat, I think modifying Old School Hack would probably have really good results. It's rules-light, and has a points mechanic that literally runs of of funny/awesome things happening.

I think you'd be better off looking at Danger Patrol; you could use the "pick a style, that gives you abilities; pick a role, that gives you other abilities" creation mechanic for the "Job of Thing" Sburb-style classes.

The issue isn't that the kids are dead (since we all know they have extra lives and such).

The issue is that they're all down at the same time at a point where they're all supposed to be getting each other into the Medium. And even if Shrodinger's Roxy isn't dead, one of her lathe-related devices definitely got destroyed, so that screws up the who entry sequence too.
