Gabriel Pope posted:Things get weird when we get to Cal, though. Did the Scratch also reset the trolls' timeline so that there's another version of Gamzee currently hating Cal into existence in the dreams of scratched-Bro? I think the defense portals don't seem to really "care" what universe they are sending meteors into, whether it's pre- or post-scratch. It's like the same singular meteor was sent back into the universe from the incipisphere, but the destination changed after the scratch. Therefore John's ectobiology session is still the one that spawned the kids and their guardians, it's just that after the scratch they no longer went to the pre-scratch Earth. What does this mean for the upcoming session for Jane and company? Who knows. Maybe it will be the same sort of problem the pre-scratch trolls encountered. Maybe there is not going to be any ectobiology involved at all.

So, assuming the original kids are present in this universe in some form, and that their roles are roughly the same as the guardians' in the past, then does that mean that Dad is John's son? Craaaaaazy.

I know this was talked about briefly before, but for some reason the forums search isn't really bringing up the relavant pages from this thread. I can't seem to get get the "right" look of the text just right (observed here: http://mspaintadventures.com/scraps2/mspafont.gif). Whether I turn ClearType on or off, the m's especially still look like a solid black block. It never bothered me before, but of course now that Hussie has pointed it out it does. What's strange is that turning ClearType on/off appears to make no impact on MSPA's font at all, at least not the font used in-comic (for example the archive logs do change when turning it on/off).

Since supposedly every session "needs" Space and Time, it would be kind of funny that the Jane/Jake/Bro/Mom session literally depends upon the kids crashing the party and adding their own planets back into the mix to make the "real" session. Like as if Jane/Jake/Bro/Mom's session knew that would happen and thus didn't need to make these new kids have a Space or Time player. I wonder what they would need two battlefields for though.

I think it makes sense for Aradia to remain behind with the dreambubbles. It has seemed thus far that her role is to help those along in that area, whether it's the deceased/dreamers or living folks who happen to show up there like the living trolls and Dave/Rose.

Could not uU be a Doom hero in that same sense, since she seems to be all for healing and fixing things? As to who she is, for now I'm going to guess a pre-scratch troll that escaped the scratch just like our kids did. Perhaps she is going to be a Seer of Doom and was able to see the consequences of the scratch. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Nov 15, 2011 |

Again, though there's some strange poo poo afoot, there's no reason to believe that the scratch that just went down has directly affected the Troll universe and Troll session in any way. Not yet, at least.

It's definitely weird. Everything about her not only screams troll, but a troll who had the same relationship with her ancestor as the 12 we know. That is, she had an ancestor, but that ancestor lived a long, long time from when she lived. Which further implies the same sort of ectobiological origins and traveling-via-a-gate-during-the-reckoning as the 24 original trolls made by Karkat. So, hmm.

To me, UU comes off as no more omniscient than Jade in Acts 1-4 (due to her seeing visions in Skaia's clouds) or the trolls (due to trollian time shenanigans). As a result, the only bit of First Guardian-ness that I really see in her is her name.

Cus we already have a maid, don't need two maids (but you can always have lots of seers and knights, of course). Also definitely thinking Life powers are going to come into play here.

Well, in theory one route that we know would work is if his dead dreamself were second-tiered prototyped. Just have to keep the body safe for a while. I doubt that his dreamself will remain dead though.

John, Jade, Dave, and Rose can't travel to this universe yet because out in paradox space their only real point of reference is Sburb sessions (Well it may be different for John and Jade I guess). So when Jane and company start playing, that session will start up and they can then go enter there. Or maybe they are already there just sort of shooting the breeze around Prospit or whatever waiting for folks to show up. The only way they would physically be present on Earth would be if they went through some of Skaia's portals during the reckoning, which would invite a whole slew of other problems. I suspect we won't see any of the other characters directly until after all four kids have been introduced and at least one has entered the game, maybe when all four enter the game even.

Since I wasn't around when Hivebent was live, I can only imagine it featured many posts like that. At least here the new typing gimmicks aren't as unpenetrable. Also we pretty much know and understand the significance of what's happening now, which wasn't necessarily apparent in Hivebent until the very end.

JAssassin posted:I thought Vriska's death was considered Just, due to the fact that her actions would result in the death in all the trolls. Is that not true? Also the clock was almost certainly symbolic, and had no real "power" over deciding the fate of a given god tier player.

# ¿ Dec 7, 2011 18:54 |

I don't like considering the clock to be particularly special other than an outside indicator because not only has it been crowbarred into insignificance timeline-wise, but the very universe it resides in was destroyed. So, then, what of our remaining god tiers? Will they now simply die because they no longer have this clock protecting them? Or the inverse, they can't die now no matter what? Why in the world does the First Guardian of an entirely separate universe have a device that apparently decides the fate of all god tiers? I definitely believe this the case: "If not, then the destruction of the clock becomes more a violent gesture of punctuation to accompany this "divine ruling", like nails being driven into a coffin. Or, like a tolling bell. It's jarring, sudden, and carries finality." E: Also how in the hell would Slick know it was deciding Vriska's fate? And that he was going to kill her with it??? That's a pretty big reach, even for Hussie. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Dec 7, 2011 |

Yeah I'm still pretty confused with how the scratch has affected Bilious Slick, but for now I think I'm going to go with "Bilious Slick was reset, but he still dies at the same point of time from Jack Noir's Red Miles." Until we are shown otherwise at least. Same frog, same fate. Also John and Jade could probably not care less about "escaping" from Noir's Red Miles. A Sburb session is completely outside its parent universe's timeline. They had to escape the scratch, not the death of the universe.
