Anybody know enough about billiards to say which planets got sucked in at the beginning?

[Devling]

I enjoy this comic as well.

I like Homestuck better than Problem Sleuth, since Homestuck is actually staying focused on its 'gameplay' mechanics, as opposed to Problem Sleuth, which quickly degenerated into batshitinsaneland and JRPG parody. For six months. That was a little tiresome.

Also, [S] Strife! pages.

I randomly went back to the start of the thread and well...
Talk about hilarious in hindsight.

[Graknorke]

You sure that it's billiards?
Looking at it, I would have assumed pool.

pffhahahaha
Thank god I started reading it back in 2011... the eventual degeneration into exactlyasplannedland and Dating Sim parody would had broken my spirits if I had had any time to think about it.

Ha, I called Problem Sleuth tiresome and Homestuck focused.

If I only knew.

Hehe! Remember when everyone thought the Felt intermission wasn't relevant?

[Max White]

I remember thinking that WV was going to be a paralleled thing that only dealt with the fallout long after the kids had grown old and died... Actually I kind of think that would have made a better story.

I think some people complained about the name "Eternity's Shylock" because Shylock, the evil jewish moneylender from William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice", was a negative stereotype? I remember reading some blog posts about it.

Odd, since I could have sworn that he's mostly portrayed sympathetically nowadays.

That doesn't undo the pretty long history of pre-WW2 antisemetic Shylock. And even when played sympathetically, he's still a fat, greedy, Jewish banker. Just a rightfully vengeful one.

According to various other people it's 7, 11, and 14.
This matches the Felt who were already dead before the Intermission started.

[Slayerhero90]

It would make sense to not have 7. Caliborn's already got the crowbar.

[Graknorke]

Could someone please hash out the rules of billiards for me and how it is specifically the game the Felt is based around?
I only know it as "kind of like pool but it's on sports television when nothing else is on sometimes and is also for old people."

[penguinofhonor]

I thought it was the same as pool.

[Putnam]

Billiards is literally another name for "pool". I prefer billiards because pool can mean a lot of things and billiards just means the one.

[GlyphGryph]

Billiards is NOT pool. There are actual several types of billiards, though.

Billiards has no pockets. This is very much a pool metaphor, not a billiards one.

[penguinofhonor]

Then... what are you supposed to do in billiards?
