TO you when you wake up: Be on the look out for black carapaces. ((I honestly have no idea. Let's just go with it.))

Woooooo... ...Thanks, Taylor. Okay. the only reason why I am typing legibly, and actually typing is because Miss Taylor got worried after I missed our checkers game and came to visit. She's making sure I don't head off and do shenanigans in my medicine-clouded state. In other news, anti-anxiety medication apparently inebriates Dreamselves. Ain't life grand?? That ringing was a friend of mine. He's a gamer. Well, I am too, but he's a 'hardcore' gamer. One of the ones who would gleefully park themselves in front of a computer all night for a piece of equipment that would wind up obsolete in two or three levels. He just got a message saying he won a contest, and that he and five friends will receive a copy of Sburb, a full month before the official release date. It will also arrive in five to ten business days. After he told me that, I had a panic attack, my big brother flipped out and called 9-1-1. I'm in the hospital right now, but the doctors say I'll be released tomorrow morning. It's currently Saturday. That means I have between six and thirteen days before the shit hits the fan.
...Guys? ...I'm scared.

To be honest, that's how you should feel. I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, but it's true. Sburb is a dangerous game, and the chances are good that at least one of your group will die in some way or another. The important thing, though, is to keep your head held high and keep plowing ahead, hoping for the best. If you ever need help, feel free to ask. Though I'm probably not the best choice, seeing how I'm barely into my first session.

I know, I know. That's what I've been doing. I've asked questions I thought were really important, such as what those banners meant and what's up with the Land of Clockwork and Zephyr, but no answer. Now that I think about it, no one told me if I could grind EXP or get items before the game actually started or if dreamselves could use Sylladexes, either.

Also, I saw something interesting in the castle while delivering something to the Prospitan Archagent. Banners, six of 'em. With strange looking symbols on 'em. Let's see... There was... a green... blue... tentacle-y... orb... thing, something that looked like a cyclone, a blue wave, a yellow sun, a red gear, and a pink stylized Valentine's Day heart. Are these significant in any way?
The strange looking symbols you saw are the symbols for the different aspects for the players in your session. The 'green-blue tentacle-y thing' is the symbol for Mind, the one that looked like a cyclone is probably Space, the blue wave is for Breath, the yellow sun is for Light, the red gear is for Time, and the stylized heart is for Heart. You have both a Time and a Space player, which is good.I know, I know. That's what I've been doing. I've asked questions I thought were really important, such as what those banners meant and what's up with the Land of Clockwork and Zephyr, but no answer. Now that I think about it, no one told me if I could grind EXP or get items before the game actually started or if dreamselves could use Sylladexes, either.
Lands differ from session to session, as they are made specifically for the player. I think dreamselves can only use Sylladexes if they become a person's realself. And I'm pretty sure you can earn a little EXP by doing quests on your dream moon pre-game, but it doesn't raise your health stats or physical stats. You can't get items, though. You might want to get a veteran player to confirm some of the things I'm not sure about.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Thank you for explaining the land-thing. Now then, what I was getting at was why it was the only one. I mean, what? Are we all going to share LOCAZ? Or do they just pop up when we do? If it's the latter case, then why is LOCAZ there? I mean, if it pops up when we do, why is it there? I'm here, but only as a dreamself, and no one's got the game yet. Also, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that LOCAZ is probably the Time player's land. Why? Clockwork => Time. Clockwork => Time
(edit: changed formatting to better emphasize and changed 'primarily' to 'probably'.)

All of you won't have to share a planet/Land; they will pop up as each of you enters the Medium. The reason LOCAZ is there now is probably because of Time Shenanigans involving your time player.

Oookay, weird Time stuff. Gotcha. Any questions on your guys's end? Because I have nothing right now. I would go exploring, but Miss Taylor is the only thing separating me from disco dancing shirtless on top of my Dream Tower. Apparently, that's what I was doing when she got here.

My biggest real piece of advice is to keep in mind that this may not be a glitch.
There are many cases where Sburb glitches like crazy. There are also many cases where is just being Sburb.
There may be a reason - an extremely important reason - you woke up early and one land is available. Your top priority isn't levelling up or discovering the mechanics as any decent faq can give you enough understanding of the mechanics to not die early on barring stupidity or awful luck, but rather learning about the dream kingdoms and seeing if there's any weird shit going on with them.
You can get an audience with the queen if you ask. After all, you're a prince. Hell, everyone who plays is a prince or a princess. It's like a cartoon for little girls. That kills you.

...You know? I probably should go do that. ...Riiiight after the meds wear off. I don't want to snap out of it in the midst of court sans shirt in a disco pose.
...Wait, I'm a prince? Darn it! I need a cape!

Okay, I am back from Court. That was... Eventful. Got the full Titles of the players of my Session: Heir of Breath, Thief of Light, Witch of Time, Seer of Mind, Page of Heart, and Guide of Space. Also, I am slightly irritated at the White Queen. I asked her if I could help at all with the war efforts, because I was a prince, and as such, had an obligation to the kingdom. No backstory, no political nonsense, nothing. Nothing besides a freaking lollipop and a pat on the head. ARGH! Do I just have a face that makes people treat me like I'm six?! ...That said, it's a dang good lollipop. Royal Confectioners really know their stuff.
Anyway, if I am understanding this right, we've got: A walking WMD, a luck thief who may or may not be able to, eventually, beat Sonic in a race, A... Witch of Time(Weird time stuff and complicating prototyping ahead?), a mind reader, someone who can do the creepy Heart thing, and... Uh... Someone who can... Guide everyone else?
Erm. Okay, is there a way- ahead of time- to find out which one I am?
Also, since I like planning ahead; How, exactly, do you enter the Medium? I may have accidentally skipped past it in the FAQ. But I do know that whatever you prototype pre-entry affects the enemies and the end-boss. I have some Doctor Who memorabilia, I take it none of that nonsense?

Right now I would work under the theory that you're an Heir of Breath because of the land of Clockwork and Zephyr because the land is in there with you, you're not a girl (Boy witches exist but are extremely rare), and zephyr means wind.
Still, be willing to switch gears in case you aren't.
Also, I forgot to mention, but you're not a Prospitian prince.
You're the prince and rightful heir of your land, driven away by a cruel creature known as the denizen. Prospit has taken you in and will support you nomially on your quest, but while you are an ally of Prospit, you are not part of their royalty!
This would be nice and simple if not for one problem: All players are allies, and Derse is nominally an ally of the Derse dreamers (even though they tend to try to act against all the players), and Derse is bitter enemies with Prospit.
If you do get involved directly, the political situation will turn UGLY all of immediately. Under NO circumstances are you to interfere in the politics of the war if you can avoid it because it can end up damaging fragile alliances and treaties and you don't want Derse to stop with their subterfuge underhanded tactics and oppose you directly, or turn both dream moons into your enemy.
Ah... sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. Just don't worry about the war for now and you'll be okay. As long as you're focused on your quest, Prospit will assist you in what small ways they can.

None of the Doctor Who stuff. There's a "Do Not Prototype" list of things you shouldn't prototype, and anything Doctor Who is on it.

@ua ...First off, that would have been nice to know beforehand.
Second, Okay, until further notice, assume I am the WMD? ...Wait, you got that from LOCAZ? No, dude. That, apparently, popped up a couple months ago, if what I heard on the street is right. I started making an appearance outside my tower about three weeks ago. Thought I was having a series of recurring lucid dreams. I got this(The laptop I'm using) a week ago.
@tm Okay, gotcha. ...Just read the thing, okay, it also said "No video games". Fallout 3 I'd get. I don't want to fight a Black King Deathclaw anytime soon. But what if I threw in something like a kid's game? Like- I dunno, JumpStart or Barbie Explorer? Or should I just throw some random junk in it?
