Ok, I stopped reading this about the time we switched to the trolls. Is this really necessary? I mean, I appreciate telling the story from multiple viewpoints but it was confusing enough as it was.

By seeing their playthrough, we get a better idea of what an "ideal" playthrough looks like. Their's probably wasn't 100% what it was supposed to be like, but I think knowing how things should go will put how things are going in the main one in perspective.

Besides, it's the troll chapter.

It wouldn't be a troll chapter without trolling the readers, would it?

Of course. Skaia is one of the Yozis. Probably She Who Lives In Her Name.

Exactly. So what is the point of Sburb? It's not to save your planet. It was apparently to save Skaia, but it turns out Skaia isn't even something all that special or unique, but rather something that just gets copypasted from world to world. So why is the game important, is the question. What is the motivating factor, beyond keeping what few people you can alive?

No, I think it's more that it's inevitable that the game is played. The destruction of the planet is linked to that. The game cannot not be played, thus the planet cannot not be destroyed

And to PCD:
Portal SpoilersWell, see it this way: You've played Portal, right? Glados directing your way through the various chambers, taunting you, being "the enemy". But always talking about "the test". Even when you escaped from the death trap, it still seemed like a test. You still had to take one path, complete certain tasks. Even when you fought her, you had to fight her. And if "Still Alive" is anything to go by, that was exactly what was supposed to happen. And, perhaps Portal 2 will contradict me on this, but by winning the game, by completing challenge upon challenge and destroying her, you played into Glados' hands. You lost.
In-game, the only way to win would have been to escape from the area, to find a way not to participate in the tests, to display a type of behavior she couldn't analyse. In other words, to break the rules and escape from the game.


I think the same thing has to happen here. The whole "Save Skaia!" thing is a front used to manipulate players to engage in certain activities. The Sprites, and pretty much everything else, are part of this front. But there's something else guiding the Players, be it Exiles or Precogniscent Players, and they seem to be guiding them towards an entirely different goal. Both of these are manipulating them in some way or another.

To what end? I'm guessing it has something to do with the "nature" of the universe, and with the super-powerful demon. What they're "supposed" to do is achieve... one thing or another, and, I think, to ultimately foil said demon. And if not the demon, then to achieve another aim.

But that's not the important question. "Why?" is important, but far more important is "Who?".
See, this is a game. People die, planets get destroyed, but it's still a game. Set up by someone to achieve a certain purpose. But who set it up? Who designated the purpose, created the "front", arranged everything to guide the players?
Who, in other words, is the Game Master?

Also, what're the odds that the "Demon" is Lord English? The virus definitely has something to do with the Felt Gang, the green exterior and the numbers indicate that.

No, it's making it clearer. It was really confusing around the time GC trolled John to death. It's been making more sense ever since, and this just adds understanding. I think.

I get the feeling that AA is about to offer Sollux some... motivation.
