Let's Play HOMESTUCK

[ardentApathy]

A fitting End for a worthy foe.

However, even the best of us must accept her Fate.

Even so, I get the feeling that she has... set certain events in motion. It would certainly suit her preferred modus operandi, the scoundrel.

Ah well. The games have only just begun. And I will see her minions brought to JUST1C3. >:]

[Liliumus]

I have no idea how to respond to this.

Oh? Playing dumb, are we? I believe we have a traitor in our midst, ladies and gentletrolls. If no one comes forward to defend this wretch, I shall have to deal with him... P3RSON4LLY.

[MQuinny1234]

Perhaps a mercy kill should be considered then before you get your hands on him.

[Ross_Varn]

Alpha Session arises reunited, ladies and gentlemen, with unexpected allies and into what seems an unfathomable war. If I may, MQuinny has reminded me of something, that may prove far more appropriate for the game today.

EB: So, if you're sure that we are going to fail... what is the point of everything we're doing?
TT: Simple. The objective is no longer to win.
EB: um...i mean what are we actually shooting for here?
TT: To do as much damage to the game as possible. To rip its stitches and pry answers from the seams. We will snatch purpose from the jaws of futility. Are you ready to wreak some havoc, John?
EB: i suddenly don't understand anything

I commend Ardent on the most accurate simulation of Homestuck I've ever seen. Let's do this.

[CodexSpy]

Potential i see, i may join this.. because HOMESTUCK. that and its caught my eye.

So Ranter and Liliumus are dead?

So Ranter and Liliumus are dead?

Ranter had to withdraw because it was so RELENTLESSLY LIGHTHEARTED, which is effectively a "death." Liliumus was presumed dead due to (SPOILERS), but was chosen by Ranter as her successor. But apparently Liliumus wasn't dead in the first place so... Yeah, I'm lost.

Oh? Playing dumb, are we? I believe we have a traitor in our midst, ladies and gentletrolls. If no one comes forward to defend this wretch, I shall have to deal with him... P3RSON4LLY.

Wait, was this in response to Lili?

If so, then you'll have to go through me first.

Ranter died and Liliumus came back to life
in a way that was heroic, dramatic, and romantic, I am sure.
Also pir8s.
So, haters can suck it.

RELENTLESSLY LIGHTHEARTED

Oh, MegaRock, you have such a way with words.

Yes, it most definitely was all those things. Though it seems nobody died to the Betrayer's actions... Maybe. At this point, I'm not really sure whether it counts or if it's just going to be slow to take effect.

Oh, MegaRock, you have such a way with words.

I try.

[PlumFinder]

Alright guys, just now was the second time I had to dodge a panic attack caused by this game, so I'm dropping out.
Not that I was doing anything anyway. Seriously, now you can die in this game? And betray each other? When did that all happen.

Anyway, it's not like I didn't know this would happen:

On the one hand I really want to play because I am so confused and want to find out what is going on.
On the other hand, vagueness greatly upsets me. I probably shouldn't even try.

So I guess next time I should just follow my gut feelings.
I still hope you will one day reveal what exactly happened, becasue I'm still really curious, and joining did nothing to remove my confusion.
Have fun playing!

This was perfect.

[MQuinny1234]

Mainly because you die or get possessed by horrorterrors.

[PlumFinder]

That would be a fitting thing if I ever had been playing. As it was, all I was doing was sitting here wondering what the hell I was supposed to do and getting more distressed every time everyone else made clear they were doing stuff.

I think that sounds a bit bitter. Does it? If so, it's more at my own complete dumbness than at you.

[Ross_Varn]

Nah, I was at that point the other day, but Hope pulled me out of it and got our session back on it's feet. Sorry to see that you fell prey to it, though, mate.

[Gecky]

Anyone willing to discuss the game with me? To see a fellow player lose the game would break my Heart.

[GreenElectrodes]

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't really been playing either. I still have yet to get into non-thread contact with any of the other players. All I've done is have a couple back-and-forths with AA, which has only made me more confused, if anything.

[sonic3535]

Dude. I'm going to post here, in the fearful hope that I can get in on this.
...
I bet if I pretend this sentence means something you'll act like it does. It doesn't, but I couldn't resist saying it anyhow.
Wait, now I'm afraid that will come back to bite me somehow.
Eh, it probably will.
Bring it on.

EDIT: This is my "in", just to be sure that's clear.

[PlumFinder]

Aw man, you and your encouragements. Now I actually feel like continuing again. Except it'll probably all collapse back onto me again.
The dillema, I shall ponder it.

[MQuinny1234]

I'm just waiting for the first Doc Martin to drop. *Looks up suspiciously*

[MegaRock35]

Plumfinder, you didn't get any PMs from aA at all? If that's the problem, then you should have sent aA something about it, preferably with word IMPORTANT in the subject line.

If it's just not knowing what do once you get the PMs, then you should try to get in contact with the other members of your session.

(Also, I hope that thing about the panic attacks was hyperbole, because if not, then you probably just shouldn't play. It may seem kind of stupid of me to even consider that you were being literal, but I've taken things like that as a joke in the past only to find out it was actually a thing that was true.)

EDIT: Whoops, missed post 314 specularnaodm! I guess I'll just have to make up for it at post 413. OH WELL.

[PlumFinder]

No, it was literal. I get very stressed when I don't have sure footing, and this game is like a small ship on a large stormy ocean. Also the ship is made of clouds.
As in there is no footing and I suck at making up metaphores.

But yeah, this is basically the exact same pattern as last time (except last time it manifested as anger and this time as despair), when some of you helped me out helpfully and suddenly I was all 'CONFIDENCE!', and went about contacting teammates and finding a forum you were on.
And then my teammates never responded and the forum is a ghost town and I'm back at square one.

EDIT: Wait why am I talking about my mental problems on here? I should just stop, as I said.

[MQuinny1234]

I'd just keep an eye on it. Sooner of later these other psycho's will have pulled enough threads together for me to see what we're trying to make here.

[MegaRock35]

Yeah, if it was literal, you should probably step out before you get invested. It's better for your health, and that metaphor is actually pretty apt. Sorry you had to bail just when you were finally getting to play! '^'

If it's of any consolation, I'll tell you what it's all about once we finally figure it out.
