Just wait until somebody shows up with a higher time-line level.

I'll be not surprised if everything we saw up to this point has been a result of a chess battle between two super-powerful retconners.

Lord English used the weapon before John did.

LE used the weapon. He did not create it. I'm pretty sure the one with capability to create such a weapon should have a bigger retcon power-level.

And it probably isn't the self-insert, since his only feats are 1) narrating everything (when he was alive) and 2) neutralizing Doc Scratch from acting in his presence (which is actually kind of a huge deal). Therefore, it's probably somebody else.

I thought Andrew Hussie was simply one of the holes in his omniscience.

No. If AH is around, Doc Scratch can't do anything. AH even remarked on him being "like a lifeless puppet", if I remember correctly.

Lord English is an entirely different story, of course.

Status Update:
Program mostly done, so now I can input this:

Code: [Select]

getallshipnum(["Dave Strider", "John Egbert","Rose Lalonde","Jade Harley"])and get this:

Code: [Select]

Dave Strider/Dave Strider:22
Dave Strider/John Egbert:3202
Dave Strider/Rose Lalonde:453
Dave Strider/Jade Harley:976
John Egbert/John Egbert:4
John Egbert/Rose Lalonde:465
John Egbert/Jade Harley:102
Rose Lalonde/Rose Lalonde:0
Rose Lalonde/Jade Harley:229
Jade Harley/Jade Harley:0

Dear god, that's a lot easier.

Just gotta rig up a thing to turn a .txt file into a list, and I'm done!

That would probably be Yaldabaoth. We already know the other denizens have retcon abilities due to recent happenings.

Whelp. Shit.
Problem arose with the program.
Namely, AoOO does not like it whatsoever.
I had it set up to do all the kids, trolls, and dancestors. All of them. All 32.
It got this error:

Damn.

Bask in the semi-done glory.

~~I'll add a bit of formatting and edit it above,~~[Done] but :l DAMN IT. IT'S NEVER EASY. ~~I'll put a sleep() statement in there and hopefully it will behave.~~ Didn't work.

Let's hope I'm not blocked by AoOO for this!

I've just realized why trolls are always named in (6 letters) + (6 letters) style.

It refers to the nature of their session, with two groups of 6 trolls in each.

Also, the (4 letter) names of our heroes are reference to their 4 player sessions.

God I feel so dumb for not seeing that instantly.

That's why the squiddles all have Lovecraftian 48 letter long names.

Spoiler: Kids/Everyone! (click to show/hide)

Well, there you go! The number of fics for all the kids, with all the kids, trolls, and dancestors. The program just finished Rufioh when it died this time, so I think I'll run it more sparingly so that AoOO does not think I'm trying to kill it. Here you go! Perhaps I'll sort it later, once I write a program for it. That's all for today program-wise, though.

Zanzetkuken The Great · « **Reply #50456 on:** December 09, 2014, 08:38:40 pm »

Huh. Roxy and Rose both have the same number of fics being paired with Jade.

Conclusions I've drawn from this:

3: Male incest is apparently the favourite thing for people to make their favourite characters do, given omnopotence. Can't say that was THAT much of a revelation.

Damara was actually unpopular enough that I thought that I misspelled her name, but when I saw she had a few fics with John, I realized that she was just that unpopular. It does kinda make sense though. She is weird by the internet's standards. For those who haven't yet, look at her chat logs. (I mean, JESUS.)

Don't really have much to say about #3 though. I've noticed that from internet-ing around, but I never really got it. Eh, internet's gonna internet I guess.

Damara is the character made to fuck with the shippers. She's doing her job as one of the parody ancestors.
