This is interesting because I'm probably going to start Liar Game soon.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about with plot holes.
I have found no plot holes.
None.

...Maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

Stuff works inconsistently.

So there are plot holes.

Hussie mocks people who point them out on his formspring all the time.

[Duke 2.0]

 All part of the plan. Although if he does go through with my idea I can imagine a lot of people calling it an asspull to justify the plot holes he couldn't legitimately remove.

[ToonyMan]

I just imagine Hussie will get a shoelace, pull it through all the plot holes, and then tug the lace hard to tighten everything back together.

[FuzzyZergling]

I'm going to leave this here, because it is amazing.

Vriska would not appreciate it.

Lovely.

[Soadreqm]

I don't think I've seen any actual plot holes yet. Really, carefully thought out and consistent time travel mechanics are more or less indistinguishable from asspullery. What seems to be taking place here is that Hussie is just winging it, writing mechanics as he needs them, but keeping things ambiguous enough that nothing is explicitly contradictory.

Regarding the infinite Dave cheat: Yeah, saying that creating offshoot timelines only works SOMETIMES pretty much conclusively fixes everything. I figured that it couldn't be the regular old multiple-worlds thing with no twists whatsoever, since there is canonically only one timeline that isn't doomed; but making it only branch out at certain points explains all the observed phenomena, and is perfectly consistent with the mindfuckery that is Sburb design. No reason in just dropping a command capsule in a meteor, if you can drop a command capsule in like a hundred meteor shards that end up sprinkled all over the world with a special mechanism that's housed on a different meteor (that landed hundreds of millions of years ago on the same spot the exploded meteor was headed) that can pull them all together again if you use a special key on it, a special key that apparently only the Queen of Prospit has.

Re: Armok's question:
What the hell are those railmen doing on the rails, anyway? I don't see how it would be my fault if they get squished if they make a business of standing on railroad tracks.

She can't even see the coin anyway, she's blind, remember? SO she might not have even flipped it! She could've just said, "oh, flipped a coin, it landed on X" and gone right along with it!
