"missing players"? That's the first time I've heard that.

@Sergarr: I posted my previous hypotheses very long ago in this same thread.

@penguinofhonor: He still has to be angry at something though.  And if he was just wrecking stuff for fun he would be enjoying himself, and it doesn't seem to me as if he is.

Having the green sun flowing through him could be causing him a great deal of pain, as it is the inverse to his aspect, and destruction is the only way to reduce the pain he has.

Well, currently he's busy trying to find and eliminate Calliope, the ghosts, etc. in order to protect himself. In general, it seems from his actions as well as the 'evil-aligned' cherubs' description that he will just destroy things because it is in his nature to destroy and break, as well as a 'hobby' for his enjoyment.

The main problem with deciding on LE's motives is that we've pretty much only seen him wipe out a shitton of ghosts and blow up a bunch of stuff (and killing a very silly Hussie). We haven't seen anything that would indicate any emotion, mostly because he's been too busy unhinging his mouth and killing people to say or do anything else.

@Sergarr: I posted my previous hypotheses very long ago in this same thread.

Actually, could I have a link for this? I'm actually very interested, but the next few days are going to be busy for me and I don't really have time to look back.

I'm assuming he's talking about the aspects that none of the human players have.

Spoiler: There's a far more simple arrangement for those (click to show/hide)

Karkat is the Knight of Blood
Terezi is the Seer of Mind
Gamzee is the Bard of Rage
Sollux is the Mage of Doom

Point is there is no need for any non-players to have those aspects because the trolls' players of these aspects are still alive.

1. role inversion isn't a thing

2. he's angry at the fact that his sister isn't completely gone from existence forever, as it was stated a few times in A6I3 and A6I5.

+1 to both

why would space flowing through time even cause pain it's completely bonkers

Screw classpect whinging!  How about some real updates?

Based on the hit webcomic Homestuck, Hiveswap is an episodic 3D point-and-click adventure game about a young human girl named Joey who gets sucked through a portal to the alien planet of Alternia. There, she joins a band of scrappy troll rebels and embarks on an epic journey to save the world and find a way home.

Developed by What Pumpkin Studios in NYC, Hiveswap is infused with the trademark humor of the webcomic and features a vibrant cast of characters, puzzle-solving gameplay, and an original story that will captivate Homestuck fans and newcomers alike. Act 1 is slated for release in Spring 2015.

Should there be a Paradox Space thread, or is there already one?

An actual ETA, sweet.

@sergarr: After a long and arduous search, I found my original posts:

Missing players
Space/Doom

My ideas have changed by now, of course.  I now believe the space and doom mix-up was an actual ploy by Caliborn, similar to the chess "hats".

It seems I may never have posted my explanation for why specifically those four classpects are the missing ones.  It's pretty long, so I'm spoilering it.

Spoiler: Classpects (click to show/hide)

First, I compare the two troll sessions.  I find two loops with four nodes each, and two loops with two nodes each:

Space-Light-Life-Time/Sylph-Thief-Witch-Maid
Void-Doom-Heart-Breath/Heir-Mage-Rogue-Page
Mind-Blood/Seer-Knight
Hope-Rage/Prince-Bard

Then I compare the combined human sessions with the Alternia session, and find a pair of broken chains, a loop with four nodes and some scraps:

?-Mind-Light-?/?-Seer-Thief-?
?-Space-Life-Time-Blood-?/?-Sylph-Witch-Maid-Knight-?
Hope-Breath-Void-Heart/Page-Heir-Rogue-Prince
Doom? Rage? Bard? Mage?

Similarly, with humans and Beforus:

?-Light-Blood-?/?-Sylph-Seer-?
?-Life-Space-Time-Mind-?/?-Thief-Maid-Witch-Knight-?
?-Hope-Void-Breath-Doom-?/?-Bard-Page-Rogue-Heir-?
?-Heart-Rage-?/?-Mage-Prince-?

The only way that I could find to fix all the broken chains with exactly four characters was to add:

Mage of Rage
Thief of Mind
Sylph of Blood
Bard of Doom

This also ends with each set of loops being 2-4-4-2; the tri-radial symmetry reinforces my belief that this is the correct structure.

I suspect that there might actually be four ghost humans with these classpects, but from a doomed time-line; I like the idea that in the alpha time-line they never even got into the game.

Meanwhile, there is the fact that each sburb/sgrub logo has one square extra, which might indicate an extra hero from each session, but so far this does not match my identification of the possible substitute players.

EDIT: New revelation: (Link to relevant page)

Lord English's rage is caused by his cursed juju, created by, and given to him by Gamzee.  Trace this back through causality if you want to go insane.

EDIT 2: Even more edit: (Link to relevant page)

Kurloz and Gamzee might be planning to hijack the human session so as to create the dark carnival!  Or maybe I'm paranoid and reading too much into this.

So I guess since I got more free time now, what with only needing to go to school for one week this whole month, is anyone else interested in playing the Oversser Project?

[rabidgam3r]

Man, I haven't played that in ages. Me and a group of friends used to try and organize RP sessions on it, great fun. Is the captcha system still bullshit?

Anything major been done since the last time?
