Finally got a connection to this place - no idea how Helix was doing it, but I'm having to use the skaia.net signal near Zero's place (he swears the building it's centered on wasn't there until right after he moved in, but Helix was helping him move (and complained about it for days after) and he says it was already there). 2 days to release.
I suspect that Time Helix provided our post-scratch selves with computers and the game. I can't prove it, though.
Helix is being a little too optimistic hoping for Photonic to not break the game. I did follow his example and make a similar doll with no arms, though, and this one is made of the most brittle plastic I could get my hands on.
Photonic's ARC has no doubt cleared the roof and is rapidly making its way towards the moon. I don't think she's ever done anything that didn't fit her classpect.

Well, afaik, full-ARC Light Witch should fly all over the place at the speed of the light, kill enemies with sheer coincidence and mutter something that makes no sense at the time. Oh, and they know anything.
Skaia.net wifi is a Skaianet dungeon beacon.

we're in. nobody's in any immediate danger of death by meteor. i'd call that a success
also, fucking hell all my shit was expensive
not much time to type right now, but our time player is zenApocalypse, and has one major fucking glitch: his realself is a dreamself. his dreamself is also a dreamself. i am so fucking confused by this shit

warning: this is gonna be a long one Whoa, nice. One less death to worry about, + free flight. yeah, he gets to fly everywhere, and doesn't have an idiot for a dreamself. what's not to like? well, the fact that, if either body falls asleep, which happens often, it instantly teleports back to the last bed it touched! carrying him around fixes it, but jesus fuck he's heavy we did manage to reach his denizen, which was awake, but it just kind of stared at him. didn't do shit until he attacked it, at which point it launched him all the fucking way back to his house. it was a fucking tedious walk back. no interest in me, even attacking it didn't get its attention off him my land is covered in angels. i've told everyone to build something around their gate to it that prevents them from accidentally going there, i figure i'll have to wipe them the fuck out when i get my firepower back, but for now i'm staying the fuck away. based on a telescope view, they're avoiding the denizen's lair. i might check that area out when i have flight that doesn't take three fucking weeks to get between planets alright, lands and prototypings follow: cryo: Land of Snow and Sky, snow-covered floating islands rather than a normal planet surface. smaller, but still huge, ball of ice in the center, which i suspect contains the underworld. so fucking cool, if you'll forgive the pun. he prototyped an armless brittle doll helix: Land of Angels and Anger, angels fucking everywhere, no idea what else because i fucked right off immediately (the first gate can go fuck itself). i prototyped a legless doll, but imps seem to either have no arms or no legs, never both. i guess that makes sense, limbless enemies would be too fucking easy to kill photonic: Land of Mirrors and Lasers, photonic likes it but nobody besides her can look at it due to the lasers. i don't know what she prototyped, but it seems to make everything affected slightly less real. basically it means that anything involving an imp has a 5% chance of doing jack shit. it's annoying, but not too bad honestly zero: Land of and Tentacles, there's octopuses everywhere (as far as i can tell, they're not corrupted). the name is not a mistake on my part. he prototyped some ink, so enemies leave black trails everywhere, which is just fucking wonderful chemical: Land of Venom and Frogs, dead frogs all over the fucking place. the universe we make is most likely going to suck balls. he prototyped a compass, which makes enemies have an incredible sense of direction. they do not have an acute sense of dodging, so it's not really a problem, but every single enemy on the same planet as you will find its way to you, so the fighting just doesn't stop haemophiliac: Land of Blood and Clay, there's rivers of blood all over the fucking place. apparently the blood tastes like strawberries. i'm going to go back to not thinking about how she discovered that. she prototyped a litre of human blood (not thinking about why she had that), so now the ink trails stink like rotting bodies. some of these prototypings are seriously shitty protonic: Land of Flame and Despair, goes well with his classpect (knight of flow). kills a lot of enemies on their ways to anyone on the planet, which means it's the only planet where you can go anywhere alone. he prototyped a bottle of kerosene, so the meaty ink trails now burn. fucking hell, did everyone but me conspire to make enemies suck more than anyone wanted them to suck zen: Land of Sleep and Clocks, lots of clocks (no shit), frequent beds (thank fuck), good luck involving the consorts in anything, they're asleep. he prototyped a dignified hat. enemies now have +1 Dignification, they still die, who cares to recap, here's the effects of the prototypings on enemies: either legless or armless and slightly less durable, never both; occasionally fail to exist correctly; leave trails of highly flammable ink that smells like a room full of people who have been dead for about three months; and they wear hats. i can work with it, but i specifically planned out everyone else's prototypings. you'd think they'd just fucking go with that rather than prototyping a bunch of bullshit to make enemies a pain in the ass to fight

Still not as bad as when i rolled Clown of garble twice.
Well, he should carry beds and use them as checkpoints. Godtiering will fix scripts, btw.
Say hello to death by freefalling.
Better get something good fast. I'm sure they won't even try to be friendly.
Sunglasses?
Even Bible has small Angel corruption levels.
Come on, you can't breed dead frogs. And alive ones should be okay. Just don't eat them.(BTW, usually leftover frogs are really tasty. Especially for Space and Void players.) And alchemize some gloves.
Sburb has lower rating than it should. Rivers are made of strawberry juice/whatever. Even i have access to a litre of human blood.
Meh. At least, the view is nice.
Are enemies asleep too? I'm not sure you should sleep in them. They'll work well with double-dreamself player, though.

yeah, he's got a bed with him, problem is the sleep just kind of happens without warning. i haven't figured out a wearable bed yet, but i think i'm getting closer
yeah. cryo's fucking planet. it's nice to look at, but we've already had someone nearly die a pretty much impossible to undo death. as to the iceball, i found a particularly clear bit, and i was right, the underworld is inside it. for obvious reasons, we didn't try mining through it, i mean seriously who goes down there when they can avoid it
the hoverbike is back, so i'm doing a check of my planet (staying in orbit, of course). i'm not going down there until i can definitely handle them, and nobody else is going down there until i've wiped them out. why the fuck is "of Angels" a valid part of a land name
yeah, sunglasses help, but honestly it's still a pain in the ass navigating with all those mirrors. i'll go there when i'm working with photonic, but we're not holding meetings there
that's true. point is, from what i can tell, the octopuses don't seem to be any more dangerous than any normal octopus found on prescratch or postscratch earth. i could be corrupt as fuck and not have noticed because i'm corrupt as fuck, but i don't think the octopuses are important
i told chemical that he couldn't use the dead frogs. his response was a flat stare and the words "watch me". also, photonic's prediction involving it also involved her. i am rather terrified
why the fuck are there strawberry juice rivers on the land of fucking blood and clay? what, is the clay secretly clay-flavoured cookie dough? was this game designed with preteens in mind, and if so, who the fuck decided that permanent death, killing the denizen, and anything even remotely related to the corpsesmooch were good ideas?! what the fuck were the devs thinking
i will admit that lofad is very pretty. much too hot, though
yeah the beds are pretty much instant comas if you get stuck on one. i accidentally stepped on a half-buried one, and was asleep until zen dragged me off it. enemies are affected by the beds, but don't seem to sleep aside from that. it's annoying, but he doesn't seem to go into a coma on contact, he just switches bodies

No, not one bed. Get a lot of cards, fill them with cheap 10-grist beds and leave them as checkpoints every 5 minutes. No need to sleep on them, touching them is more than enough. Wearable bed is not a good idea, believe me.
Why mine? Blast it with high-level Space abilities or explosives. Anything inside is almost indestructible anyway.
Well, "and Horrorterrors" is valid, too. Anything game can turn into a game abstraction is valid. Which is a pain in the ass, since Sburb has TONS of unsafe things. Like pumpkins. Funniest planet I've seen was a Land of Oceans and Lava.
Well, planets of Witches (and some other classes, like Guide or Seer) (some aspects are offenders too, like Light(heh) or Flow) tend to be pretty difficult to navigate on.
We'll see.
Frogs need to be alive at some point for generation mechanism. I get planets of lava of ice or something else often, never stopped me(hint: appearifier works through time, too).
Nothing logical, that's for sure. (Btw, Sburb code is mostly procedurally generated. I hate that thing that creates Version Drift.)

alright, sorry this took so long, shit went down
time-helix popped up, stole the battlefield, and left
we're preparing to chase him the fuck down and wreck his shit
couldn't clear the angels off yet (need more firepower, but i can't actually handle more rings than i've got), but they can't approach the denizen. i don't think it cared too much about me when i did a flyby, but it did seem pretty busy keeping the angels away.
zen godtiered, and ended up halfway between prospit and where he was supposed to appear. apparently his dreamself was seen sleepwalking down to the slab in the core. his voice has this fucking weird echo to it now, pretty fucking cool honestly
photonic's predictions have been pretty much absent, i know she's still getting them but she's not saying them
any chance that you can avoid angel corruption by having time stopped when you're being exposed

so at first, i thought killing time-helix would feel pretty good
then i thought about it more and figured i'd actually feel pretty terrible about it
now i've done it
that was fucking awesome
alright cryo will show up with his recap sooner or later but i'll sum it up quickly
cryo's iceball wasn't surrounding an underworld, it was surrounding a fucking spaceship. who the fuck put that there
we used a combination of chemical's and zen's powers to get to time-helix's session, turns out doomed timelines are hard to get to
doomed-cryo, being godtier, proved that nobody is boring enough to avoid a just death by spaceship after one's allies have attempted to get the alpha versions of themselves killed
space-photonic landed on our spaceship, talked to photonic for a while (fuck if i could understand what they were saying), and killed herself
time-helix, as it turns out, really had no idea that we'd be coming for him. i got a hoverbike up to extremely high speeds, jumped off, and let it slam into his asshole face
we discovered a mechanic that gives time players godtier if they are alpha and kill a doomed godtier self, only it doesn't require being a time player, any player can kill a doomed godtier self and ascend on the spot, it did give me hope godtier but there's a graphical glitch that makes the outfit include some red highlights and has the shitty wings look all mechanical, doesn't affect my powers but it looks pretty cool
we're back at our session now, the battlefield is back in place, we're working on the usual shit

I dunno, maybe your Guardians. They always do some shenanigans after entry.
Heh.
Yep. That's an id bug i rarely see. I have permanent Witch hood because of that.

I know that Helix, Zero, and I all entered alone. Who knows with Photonic. The post-scratch team aside from Zen all had guardians, but as far as we know, none of them were in the buildings during entry.
Anyway, on to the recap:
Given that Helix has apparently decided that the hoverbikes are his personal supply of kinetic weapons, I'm sure you can figure out how the iceball got broken open. The ship is pretty sweet. Fastest way to get between planets if gates aren't an option for some reason, but we only have one and it doesn't have a code. Seriously, none. We've tried a captcha camera, perspective modus, wallet modus, everything, it will not give us a code. And no, the laserstation didn't work either. It just revealed that there really is no code for it. Weird.
I really don't understand what Chemical and Zen did. I just remember a brief sensation of feeling like I should have been falling but wasn't, and then we were there. I have no desire to do that again.
Since we hit Doomed Cryo, there's been a me-shaped dent in the hull. I tried beating it back out, but that metal is nearly indestructible. It did hit him pretty hard - godtiers are pretty durable, even aside from the difficulty involved in making them stay dead.
Space Photonic was... interesting. She actually talked to me first, since I was on the airlock gun. I embedded a transcript below.
dPR: hello CG: What... What are you doing here? You do realize we're here to kill you, right? dPR: yes, i understand that dPR: i simply wish to speak to the alpha version of myself dPR: let me pass CG: Why would I do that? In case you didn't notice, you're doomed, and recently tried to get us killed. CG: You don't have a lot going for you. dPR: sburb has a glitch that causes a large number of atoms to cease existing occasionally CG: Are you seriously threatening me with luck? dPR: no, they're never close enough each other for it to affect a player dPR: i just thought it was interesting CG: So, that was completely irrelevant. dPR: yes PR: oh, hello CG: And now I have deal with two of them. Wonderful. dPR: [recording failed] PR: [recording failed] CG: What... You know what? No. I'm out of here. PR: [recording failed]
And no, I don't know what they were saying.
Helices, hoverbike, crash, boom. Helix pretty much said everything there was to say.
Helix mentioned the godtier bug, I see. As much as I hate the fact that the game has no proper way to deal with mismatched classpects in doomed selves, I will admit that the red-and-white heir outfit looks pretty damn good.
Chemical actually made a viable frog. Unfortunately, the atmosphere killed it pretty fast. That is not a pleasant planet.

Ship didn't register properly. It happens sometimes. It's not even a rare bug, but since there's a lot of things in the Medium(believe me, i can see all of them at once, endgame Space scrying ability) and it can only happen, like, 1000 times, not everyone will find it, and everything inside of a beginning Spire is checked to have a code anyway.
Of course they are. Getting back to alpha is really easy, though.
Heh. That's not a bug, that's how Others feed when Session is still online.
Of course it does, double-aspect or double-class outfits look even cooler than default ones. At least, when not covered in JPEG artifacts.
You can clean the air in a room and respawn the frog with ectostuff.

everyone else got their terraforming done. i haven't yet. my quest is pretty fucking broken, in my defense
i went back down there, now being godtiered and heavily armed, went vaguely near the denizen, got the shit slapped out of me and into the ground, and ended up having a chat with the nightmare heir
apparently none of that shit can be done until the angels are all dead, which is hard, because there just isn't enough firepower in the game to kill them all at once and if you kill one a different angel splits into two
we're working on it
any suggestions
