Clusterfuck of a session

[nightmareDoppleganger]

Alright, let me just put this on the table where we can all see it.
I’m a saccharine doppelgänger of the nightmare heir of a clown of rain.
Needless to say, this game can’t even make it’s random killbots right. Makes me wonder how any of this even works.
Anyway, Said clown and NH have gone completely off the deep end in every way and then killed everyone. So, I’m not in the mood to just exist to be wiped out in a dying session so a quick tutorial on how to navigate the furthest ring and scratch this flaming pile of horseshit would be useful.
The reckoning happened, and it destroyed skaia, so that’s not a way out.
Please. Help.

oh, shoot- uh- I don't actually know any way to navigate the Furthest Ring... I don't think that's possible. Have you tried searching your planet for a way out of Strictly Canonical Capacity? You can hide out there until the clown calms down.

(please still be alive)

Belated but general-purpose answer:

If you have a Time player Land that hasn't had its Beat Mesa destroyed yet, get denizen-grade gear and Scratch that all the way through, and then get out of the incipisphere before it gets timeline-static-deleted. Incipispheres are bigger than they look with Derse being maybe halfway to 3/4ths-way outside Eclipse mode, so you'll definitely want a movespeed boost and probably a teleporter-based head start to Derse or further.

Ring Voyages are LONG (like, literally years with guardian-level spatiotemporal force-alignment capacity), so if you're not going grimdark for travelsleep you should have a battleship with alimentator, alchemiter, and recycler ready to go, plus Space and Time aspect utilities in order to handle the propulsion, a guidance utility (Light aspect, Fate aspect, or any strong divining tool will do remarkably). Then you need a deal to indicate you're not to be messed with as properly relevant cargo, aaaand there you go.

Honestly I'd say don't bother Scratching and just run, since a post-Reckoning incipisphere is already on a time limit unless jailbroken (you need a different powerset for that to be easy) or force-connection-established (you can't do that because this is replayer Sburb).

As a horrorterror the option of "just grab whatever squid is whispering 'join me' instead of 'submit' and hope" is frankly a pragmatic option if you don't mind the grimdark broodfester enmeshing your soulstuff. Have the most powerful stuff you can muster, because endgame alchemy products are actually a noticeable-enough capability or variety boost for the little building-sized ones and their smaller knights that they might accept that as a price to pull some strings and protect your voyage instead of trying to get a Sburb player outright.

In the case of saccharine doppelgänger, I will meet blunt with blunt: you are DELICIOUS! Sufficiently powerful people will probably just crunch you up if you get too close. You're going to need an alternative payment method, fast.

Given the nature of time and contact, I'll give you a discount code for our mailing network: QMUrzwn-Hecuba-Pyrite-Lannister-Abecedarian-SSKT-5-7-2020 , we signal as the Office of International Affairs in whisper broadcast thanks to Lillian's friends-of-friends. One of our associates can get you preserved, shipped, player-verified, and tossed through a replay door as desired, or find you a suitable manager for collection management instead of getting eaten.

Best wishes,
Fred

Okay: This will be hairy...

After seeing how OP Dopplegangers are, I was able to bully rain into making them kill each other. Had to make sure not to activate the clown weird thing or anything that might make me into a traditional candy genocide thing. I even managed to grab their shinys. Thanks echidna! So I hijjacked a dersite battleship and I’m waiting to bargain away these shinys for safe passage to wherever the hell the post scratch universe is. But, I’m kind of on borrowed time here. The nightmare heir scripts, clown bullshit and whatever the fuck the glitchy messes that usually make up my kind are colliding and I’m worried that one of them is going to win out. I know I’ll be in the clear if I can reach an ultimate reward before then, getting promoted to playerdom cancels out most NPC scripts so yeah that’s the plan. I’m on Derse right now, and halfway through having paperwork done. I’m not sure how useful shinys of players that came down with a case of decapitation are but the point is I’m out of options.

Fred, if this works, I’ll see to it that squiddle treats are sent in your general direction. Or another SD. Depends.

Okay, um sorry about the double post, but I managed to escape session decay? I’m not sure how long this is feasible for. Cause and effect is a bit wonky here but that’s actually helpful at this timestamp. I’m kind of operating on borrowed time. I need a way to remove the saccharine doppelgänger scripts or at least disable them, then vagabouncy off clown, then halt any remaining nightmare heir scripts within... hell if I know. So a lot of heart, void, and mist fuckery. In this lull between “dying” situations, what is the deal with “light+player”? They commented a bunch on the glitch FAQ enough that you’d think they’re the sburban official on sex.
