POS Industries
04-22-2012, 06:25 PM
That's a poor comparison, though. Jake has more in common with John and Jane has more in common with Jade. Similarly, Dirk is more like Rose than he is Dave, and Roxy is more like Dave than Rose, though it's not as obvious in terms of appearance. They're simply all locationally displaced in accordance with the guardian/kid reversal from the reset.

So yeah, Jake is way better than Jade, but he's not better than John. Furthermore, Jade is better than Jane, Rose is better than Dirk, and Dave is better than Roxy (though not by much).

I actually had my own sub-theory, of, do trolls even have sexes? I mean, they could identify one way or the other, gender-identity-wise, but do they necessarily have different biology, if they can pair with any other troll as long as their kismesis or redrom is good enough?

Though, that it seems now to be cloning rather than mating together, this puts a damper on that idea.

The Condesce was trying to make humans like trolls in every way, from lusus to blood color. I never thought trolls naturally had sex with buckets but I don't think this update says much on the matter.

Locke cole
04-22-2012, 08:42 PM
Yeah, I think that what we know of trollreproduction is fairly accurate, and the Condesce tried a very, VERY poor method of getting humans to conform to the troll method.

I guess this means that when Dirk was talking about genetic amalgamation all the way back in Act 6.1, he wasn't talking about ectobiology.

Arcanum
04-22-2012, 11:10 PM
Well these kids won't be doing any ectobiology, since they're from the Beta session and not their own.

Locke cole
04-23-2012, 01:50 AM
Uh, they aren't from the Beta session (this IS called the "alpha" session, right?)

There has to be ectobiology in this session, because what we know about Scratches is that, among other things, they switch up the order of the distribution of the ectobiologized kids throughout the host planet's history.

There was ectobiology in both troll sessions, for example. All that changed (in terms of ectobiology) is when each grub got sent to.

Arcanum
04-23-2012, 02:26 AM
Except we recently learned that the Alpha!Kids aren't from their own session because of how the scratch works. The eight ecto-babies created in the Beta!verse were simply sent to different times when the Scratch was activated. They still originate in the Beta Session, it's just that when Skaia changes which times they go to it creates a massive temporal backlash and time essentially starts over in order to sort out the paradox.

It was also stated that the pre-scratch trolls didn't create their paradox clones in their session, which is one of LE's calling cards. Which is especially fucked up because the Scratch switches the target time of certain Skaian defense portals, yet that would mean when the first trolls activated the scratch, it altered the time destinations of the post-scratch portals. Though really that's the kind of time fuckery you would expect from LE's calling card.

Art of Hilt
04-23-2012, 05:50 AM
Well these kids won't be doing any ectobiology, since they're from the Beta session and not their own.

The idea is that a lot of people believed Dirk had a tremendous amount of in-game knowledge, so far as knowing that they all came from game slime from a previous dimension.

But then it turns out he thinks his daddy mailed some dudejuice to a big alien machine which popped him out.

I suggest you read this and the next two pages again. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006605)

They're replicated through the gates which send them to two places: the original universe, and then retroactively to the reset universe once the Scratch happens. That's why all the babies end up having the same items they landed in both universes. Also why there doesn't need to be any Reckoning: the only thing from the reset session that needs to be sent is the Frog Temple.

04-23-2012, 06:38 AM
Yeah, I think that what we know of trollreproduction is fairly accurate, and the Condesce tried a very, VERY poor method of getting humans to conform to the troll method.

Best piece of evidence that the troll reproduction we know of at least has natural origins is the Lusus bond. We now know that humans can't form it, which means it's obviously not a product of the Condesce's thinking, since she would just do it again if she could. Overall, she seems way too incompetant at manipulating evolution for the Troll method of reproduction to have anything but natural origins. We also know that at least some of the Lusus Naturae are dependant on forming the Lusus bond, since Vriska's spidermom needed her to bring it food (this was made clear in the story of how Vriska found Mindfang's book).

Anyway, I'm betting she gets overthrown by one version of WV or another.

Edit: Noteworthy that it would be a simple matter for the Condesce to just let her Lusus die. Then she could clone the trolls all she wanted; they just wouldn't be bound to her rule. That she doesn't do this is a pretty clear indicator of exactly how many fucks she ever gave about her species.

Not that this is particularly surprising. Just a nice little bit of character development.

Well at least now we know why Jake has all that LE shit. Should I have put spoilers around that sentence? Probably. Eh fuck it. Though you know entering in the spoiler tag would've been faster than typing all this out, but balls to that.

If you mean the game, every universe eventually has to make its own copies of Sburb somewhere or someway another. The trolls got their version by cribbing the kids, the kids got their version in the mail.

Also what the hell do you mean by cribbing the kids, I am unfamiliar with that colloquialism.

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche
04-24-2012, 03:13 PM
I thought you meant the universe to make all universes.

But, it's sort of weird to think of stuff in "Original". The linear progression of time doesn't seem to apply when we've got so many stable timeloops running. Not the least of which is that the trolls created the kids universe which scratched into the Alpha universe but they only created that universe in Sburb, which they got from Sollux fixing up a copy they had received from the universe they had created, which had apparently received those copies from a scratched version of the universe.

Ryong
04-24-2012, 03:14 PM
I'd say the universe where the game was created and distributed would be the "original", if it's the only way to create other universes.

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche
04-24-2012, 03:16 PM
I think it's equally valid to say the universe that created the other universe is the original.
But then we go into the loop, see?

Arcanum
04-24-2012, 03:17 PM
Karesh the hell are you talking about? SGRUB originates from the combined code-like symbols on the walls of the two frog ruins, which originate from within their SGRUB session.

Same for the kids. The code to make the game is found on the walls of the Frog Ruins, which originate from the SBURB session.

Every session has the blueprints for creating the game that allows the players to enter the session, which is sent to the planet in question via skaian defense portals.

There are a lot of parallels between the Alpha and Beta human universes because they are essentially the same universe. Skaianet is just one of those parralels.

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche
04-24-2012, 03:24 PM
Huh.
I can't remember where I got the idea but I could swear Aradia got the codes from Earth and sent them along to Sollux to fix it up.

I believed he was described as being somewhere between an antihero and a villain protagonist. Either way, Calmasis seems to be the focus character regardless of his position on the moral spectrum.

I think there's a decent chance UU/uu is Lord English, or will be Lord English eventually, at any rate. Mainly there's the dual nature, one being fairly proper and concerned about spoilers, the other extremely brutal and basically not giving a fuck. Then there's UU figuring it's best if Jake doesn't know who he/she is. Plus it would mean that Lord English is, once again, already here.

It's tenuous, but it's there.

Arcanum
04-25-2012, 04:43 PM
Except the ingredients to make one(1) Lord English are: One(1) Lil Cal, One(1) Magic Cueball, One(1) First Guardian Code (these previous three(3) ingredients are then mixed into One(1) Doc Scratch), and One(1) death of the universe.

I'm of the belief that the Alpha-verse doesn't have a Lord English because 1) He sent the Condesce to work where he could not reach (though this could just refer to the Alpha Sburb Session, but I believe it refers to the universe as a whole), 2) The First Guardian Code was used to make G-Cat, and 3) While the Alpha kids did not originate from their session, it's not in the same paradoxical clusterfuck manner as the pre-scratch trolls, so I don't think it qualifies as one of LE's calling cards.

BitVyper
04-25-2012, 04:48 PM
That's how you give Lord English access to a universe. We don't know where he comes from originally.

When executed, the subprogram will summon an indestructible demon into the recently voided universe. This monstrous being with the power to travel through time is inconvenienced very little by his arrival upon THE GREAT UNDOING. He has the entire cadaver of the expired universe to pick apart at his whim. From its birth through its swelling maturity and tapering decay. In a reality he is known to have marked for predation, he will go about assembling followers through various epochs, even going as far as personally establishing the parameters for his future summoning.

Yes he has to seed himself into the universe to get there, but he's not a newborn entity at that point.

TH3 UN1V3RS3 W1LL 34T P4R4DOX3S FOR BR34KF4ST. We know this holds true even across different universes, so his existence has to be a timeloop that somehow ensures itself. That means at some point in that loop, he has to either have some kind of origin or some event that makes him immune to paradox, which would be an origin. So basically he has to have an origin. Given the rules he plays by, it's also pretty safe to say he's not immune to paradox, so that option is basically out anyway.

Revising Ocelot

I still think UU and uu being one person is a red herring, simply because it seems too obvious. Especially with the unsubtle clues and such blatant imagery as the shackles.

You know how UU said uu messed up her bedroom while she was "asleep"? Sure, it could have been a Jekyll/Hyde thing. Or it could have been just because uu is her server player and practically all server players mess up the client player's bedroom.

Your bro had a lot of junk like this manufactured over the years. He patented the technology for producing THREE DIMENSIONAL JPEG ARTIFACTS, to make products shittier than was ever previously imaginable. He made a killing off them. Not because anyone bought this garbage. But because they were so cheap to manufacture, their cost was actually NEGATIVE, therefore miraculously netting him profit for every unit produced. He made so much money this way, he had enough to finance manned space missions to haul all of the hideous unwanted jpeg shit off the Earth, and launch it into the sun.

I wonder how he got ahold of an Unreal Air? You think that perhaps Dirk will wind up making one (or swiping one from Beta Dave once they arrive), and it'll end up on Alpha Dave's baby meteor?

Then that's wrong, because Alpha Dave's baby meteor is the exact same meteor as Beta Dave. And Beta Dave didn't have a Sord or an Unreal Air, he had Maplehoof. Unless somehow, while the meteor was traveling to the portal, it impacted an Unreal Air (and didn't break it) and then when it landed in the Beta-verse it destroyed the Unreal Air, but when it landed in the Alpha-verse somehow the Unreal Air wasn't destroyed.

And I find that harder to believe than Dave either finding a way how to make artifact items, or stealing the tech from Crocker Corp, or being told how by Rose (though probably not directly, knowing Rose).

Yes, in present time he is dreaming.

However, this flashback/forward had a proper transition of "years in the past, yet centuries in the future". Generally the dreambubble sequences have been unceremonious scene cuts, as far as I can recall.

Well, Dirk's Cal definitely seems different to the BetaCal. uu described him as having dead-looking eyes. And the BetaCal was paradox'd up by Gamzee, which doesn't leave AlphaCal room to become BetaCal.


Now watch as I get disproved later in the act!

Dirk -> Originates from the beta session, had Cal with him

Beta -> sent to 1980ish (or whatever) via skaia defense portal in the beta session.
Alpha-> sent to 2400ish (again just guessing these dates because I'm not going to bother to check because I'm sure you get my point) via skaia defense portal in the beta session.


So it's the same Cal, yet also a duplicate caused by the Scratch. I don't know if that counts as a Mirage of Causality, or if it means something else, or if it just means we should be careful about the reliability of our sources of information, especially if that source is a troll.

Well, uu said that it looked sort of dead. Like, there was something wrong with Dirk's iteration of Cal, so I guess maybe that has something to do with it.

He's a doll. Of course he looks kind of dead.

Way back in act 2, I recall Dave saying something about how he wished that 'Lil Cal wouldn't look at him with "those dead eyes".

So, in that last page, is that Future Sawtooth about to attack Dirk?

Like, has Sawtooth defected to the Condesce during his absence?

Murph. I won't be able to tell what his allegience is until the next page. I guess I thought "traitor" when I saw him just standin' there with a black hood and all.

I saw Dirk pinned down and then Sawtooth nearby in a mysterious black hood. When good guys are pinned down and someone in a hood appears you know that the good guy is getting saved.

Man, something like half of their membership ended up defecting, for one reason or another.

But yeah, one of them defected for moral reasons.

And I wasn't sayin' that black cloak == traitor, more like black cloak == evil.

Most of the time.

I saw Dirk pinned down and then Sawtooth nearby in a mysterious black hood. When good guys are pinned down and someone in a hood appears you know that the good guy is getting saved.

That, or the black cloak is watching the handiwork of his minions, only to get shocked and flee when the hero bursts out of the minion pile like "the one". It can go either way, really.

But yeah, it's quite possible that Sawtooth is here to save Dirk.

Sawtooth is going to save Dirk for the sole reason to thrash him in a rap battle immediately after the fight is over.

e- I mean who else is Sawtooth going to rap battle if Dirk dies? Squarewave? Ha!

Every since Dave/Karkat the updates have been pretty good. Lowest points being any part with Jane that excluded Gamzee and Jake since his role has been mostly people explaining background/story information to him.

Technically, it was Jake's doing for being secretly so amazing at reading people as to get an accurate enough representation of Dirk.

But it was Dirk's doing that Jake had enough information about him to form that awesome representation.

But it was Jake's doing that he was secretly insightful and analytical enough to absorb enough of Dirk's awesome to form that awesome representation.

ok, uu actually managed to be a total jerk. He gets a trophy that is suspiciously dick-shaped.

Also it looks like Red Miles is coming out of the sky above Dirk. Does this mean that DD is badass enough to pull an inter-dimensional double(?) kill on Dirk?

Since there's nobody around to kiss Dirk I don't think this is going to lead to him getting into the game through his Dream Self.

Still, there must be some way to survive it if it's a game mechanic.

Locke cole

If his realself dies, the wounds will bleed over to his realself. He needs someone to kiss him if he gets Milesed.

However, he does have Sawtooth. If is robots can get him into the game fast enough, he can get rocketbooted up to his second Gate and get kissed by Jane.
