Wait wait wait fuck. Wait.
You HAVE to have a space player to win? Um. Cause. We don't.
Precisely how fucked are we? We just started playing and I was so pleased it was going well so far. T^T

No, we just never had one. We're stars, breath, mind, rhyme, flow, and mist. And i have no idea about hte lands the onlyone i've been to yet is mine.
Ok. Ok.
Hang on, I'mma IM the rest of my group. And also try not to panic over here. That sounds wise. Um. Just for reference though, if we don't have frongs or whatever, um. Are we all going to die?

Isn't a Time player also coded in? That's a very strange session you have there.
Are you from a Scratched world, maybe? Weird stuff tends to happen with Scratched sessions.

You don't actually NEED a Space Player, it's just the Genesis Frog breeding. One of the players should have a garbled mess as the second part of the land title if there is no Space Player. Quoting from GGTG's Sburb Glitch FAQ.
"All session requires a Land with the Frog thematic. Sburb ensures this by generating a Land and *then* adding an extra "Of Frog" at the end, effectively making it a Land with three themes. Of course Sburb's coding does not support this. Who though this was a good idea? Anyway, the last two themes of the Frog Land always squish together and turn into a garbled mess. The Lands functions normally otherwise."
So it is practically the "Land of X and Y and Frogs" for the player who does the breeding, the Frog Part being assigned to the Space Player 100% of the time one exists.

As far as I know, the script that assigns the last "of frog" bit is triggered for Space players, so you may be in quite a pickle.
What happens is:
1)If one of your players have the "of frogs" land (and if that's the case I'd put my money on your Mist player) then you are moderately screwed. The Mist player is the key there: he is not going to have all the nice little perks that the space players has while foraging, but at least they should eventually be able to do what is needed.
2)If none does, then you are screwed, but there's no telling how much. It could be a simple Double Mobius Reach Around and the Space player may be in the other team. There could be Alpha/Beta-Type Frog Incest going on, meaning your Space player and a bunch of other people are going to pop out at some point. Or it just could be a good ol' glitch. in the last case, you are screwed and I advise you start thinking of a good way to flee the session through he furthest ring, because you are not going to get a winning condition, not even the usual fake one.
Re: Time. the absence of a time player is not to be considered a glitch. The title assignment algorithm is designed so that it's overwhelmingly likely that sessions get a Time player, but it happens every now and then that a session without one is generated. A very high probability still is not a certainty. Sadly, without a means of soft-resetting those sessions tend to end horribly, but they exist.

Ok. Um. None of us have the forge on our lands. Our mist player is going to go double-check whether he's got it--he doesn't think he does but he was also kind of being an asshole and managed to piss off our prince, so he ended up going to check anyway.
We don't know anyone else playing--that's needed for it to be a reacharound, right? So uh. I guess either we wait and hope our ancestors show up eventually or start trying to figure out how to escape past the farthest ring without a space player to move us there.
Okay then.
fffffffffff-

My session's suffering from the same sort of thing- there's no obvious Space player, but the game's sort of behaving as if there is. We've closed the server/client loop and the lands are all connected, but some of the carapacian texts my dreamself's been reading (well, allegedly, anyway, my dreamself's kinda weird) have bizarre formatting gaps, the Space symbol appears on some Dersite and Prospitian architecture, and there's a suspicious situation on Prospit.
Our Mind player was killed during entry (maybe- his land's not dead among other suspicious circumstances), and his dream tower on Derse burned down in response, somehow. There was a Procession and everything. So, on Derse we have two intact towers and a destroyed one- and somehow, it's the same way on Prospit. Our Grace and Seer have intact towers, but there's a ruin where a third should be.
Basically, our Space player appears to be MIA as if they were a Void player. I'm still not sure what the deal with mine is, but you might want to organize an inspection of the moons for hints toward a missing player.

Well, you can check whether you were supposed to have a sixth player that is currently AWOL by looking around for his land. If you find a deserted Land of X and Y and Frogs,then you are only mildly screwed and you should be able to do something about the Foraging thing whether you find them or not.

aA: it seems that you may be a part of Frog Incest shenanigans.
In that case, worry not it probably will work out in the end.

I kind of have a similar problem. We don't have a Space player either, and nobody's complained of having a Land with a garbled word in it. Unless one of our Land descriptors is subtly pertaining to Frogs, we may be in a bit of bother.

Do you know anyone else playing? Was your pre-game world kinda fucked up? Does your party have any titles/aspects that might let them figure a way out past the others? I dunno--I'm pretty new here (duh, OP, w/e self.) and pretty much the biggest noob. But, uh. Massive internet hugs, there, bro. I mean...my situation isn't resolved exactly? But it's down to only a couple of options, and I can't do anything about either so. But I was so completely panicked when I first heard about the space thing. So, yeah. If you're even half as freaked out, you have my sympathies. Anything I can do, just say.  |

Well, as far as we've gotten nothing seems any more screwed up than i'd expect. Our last player only just entered the medium, so maybe I should just wait and see what happens. At the very least we have a Prince of Time, so we can always rewind if something goes horribly wrong.
@aa: I don't think my pre-game world was abnormal? I mean, I have no basis for comparison, but it seemed pretty normal at the time. And internet hugs right back atcha. Good luck with figuring out your session.

Remember that rewinding doesnt't always work because it may and will doom you if it contradicts facts that are established in the alpha timeline. Also everybody thinks their world is normal, haha, maybe let us know some details? And even then, who knows, maybe they'll be the ones that scratch.
A couple of them were odd, though. I never heard any mention of a Betty Crocker or an Insane Clown Posse back on Earth. Does that help any? |
