Wait what?

I think that's a refrence to Aradia, but she was a special case to begin with because she didn't have a real body at the start of the game anyway

I think the mechanic of it is that the dreamself is sent to the quest bed, dead or not, and "resurrected" with the new powers. I may be wrong, and that losing the dreamself means you're screwed.

Also did we ever get any confirmation of dream Gamzee's death besides the the implication that his dreamself along with the others. Kinda like how Tavros was saying he was too busy "sky frolicking" to notice Prospit being destroyed, so it seems likely that Tavros is now in his dreamself with a huge freakin' chest wound.

The standard mechanic of the questbed/god-tier is when your real-self dies while sleeping on the questbed on your planet, you are then "resurrected" as your dream-self, with god-tier powers/clothing. This is the standard method for standard players.

With Aradia, and Sollux for that matter, special scenarios arise because it seems like Sburb gives every player a chance to reach god-tier, no matter what. Sollux had to die as he entered the Medium, it was ingrained in the Alpha Time Line, so Sgrub/Sburb gave him two dream-selves, so that one of those dream-selves could function as his real-self in case he ever reached appoint where he could achieve god-tier.

Meanwhile with Aradia, who has an even more fucked up special case than Sollux, had a specific method for attaining god-tier, and it was only by fulfilling what was required for the alpha time line to progress that she could attain god-tier, which is in line with her role as the Maid of Time.

As far as we are aware, Aradia and Sollux are the only special cases, and the other players must follow the standard scenario for reaching god-tier, which is basically impossible because all of their dream-selves are dead now.

Derp derp
Yeah, what am I thinking. Thanks.

Do you guys really think the revival's gonna happen via dreamself? Cause I can't imagine that. You saw the green blast that took out derse and prospit respectively. Y'think anything would survive that?

Flarecobra · 01-26-2011, 11:36 AM

THAT wasn't creepy at all. [/sarcasm]

Geminex · 01-26-2011, 11:38 AM

Hey it was awesome. Bard of Rage Gamzee >>>>>>> Permanently High Gamzee.
Especially when you don't know which one you're talking to.

Flarecobra · 01-26-2011, 11:58 AM

Which is why it creeps me out.

EDIT: And I can't beleve I forgot about this.

All we need now are the troll's heads on the 5 bodies in the poster...

Ugh, I was sort of snickering about how everyone was freaking out about Gamzee--like, I found him spooky, but wasn't personally scared of him at all. Then I had a Psychonauts-type dream about going inside his goddamn head and him trying to kill me with his goddamn brain and I woke up shaking. Dammit.

I think we just need to find a way to make sure Karkat gets a hug.

Anyhow, this isn't really relevant, at all, I thought I'd quote it anyway.
