I don't think Lord English would engineer the end of the universe. It would be kind of pointless, since the fact that the universe will end at all is really all he needs. Ending it sooner, based on what we know of him, would probably just be cutting his meal down to a smaller portion. On another subject; I'm guessing The Ultimate Reward is creation - the sort of creation that goes along the lines of "first there was nothing, then there was..." It's now been heavily suggested (by the most reliable source we have on the matter) that if the gods didn't make the game as a test, they're at least using it as such. Right from the very beginning, the game is all about building and creating. Every participant MUST be both a server and a player for the session to succeed, meaning they experience and utilize the power of creation as the server, its direct effects as the player, and sub-creation through the alchemeter (or however you spell it) in order to reach an end. It's like The Last Starfighter for potential gods. And Skaia itself is said to be a place of massive creative power. It's the only reward I can think of that makes sense. They obviously aren't getting their world back. The only other thing I can imagine is that it's all a huge lie, but that seems really unnecessary. Edit: Now is as good a time as any to point out that Lord English in Alternia's future from the Midnight Crew intermission didn't have a fancy graphic in his name, and still hasn't had one inserted. Seems like the sort of thing one would have thought of while making the graphic, so I'm kinda thinking that's intentional.

I never really made the billards connection with the green torsos until I saw an image manip that had the team world diagram but replaced with different billard balls. And Doc Scratch is the coolest cue ball ever. |

Oh god Hivebent is so over. ;_; This makes me sad and I'm not sure why. Maybe because the beginning of Hivebent was where I caught up with the comic?

Speculation: they did the Ultimate Alchemy at the Forge using the grist they received from defeating the Denizens. The Ultimate Alchemy creates the universe. The Ultimate Reward is to go through the door, which leads them to this new universe for them to live in. If they don't go through the door to get their Reward, then the universe evolves naturally on its own, and eventually develops its own life.
Also I just realized that Hivebent wasn't just a troll arc, that its purpose was not just to introduce the trolls and familiarize us with an 'ideal' SBURB/SGRUB session. It was a Creation Myth PS- No that's not me. I made the realization by reading that post. It was second hand realization. The person who I'm talking to knows exactly what this is about. Which is more than I can say for everyone else I guess.
