It also came with this sticker-message:

Only a few more pieces to go before my Terezi cosplay is up and ready. All I'm missing are horns, a cane, shoes, and black lipstick.

You got it from topaco? Nice. :V

Now I almost want to get a troll shirt, but I'd feel like a nerd if I did.

Okay so like while we're being trolled, here's a bit of a theory, though I'm not really sure how it would affect the plot at all

Apparently there are 48 astrological signs in the troll's universe. There are 12 in the human's universe, those 12 being those of the players that created it (the trolls). Therefore, one can postulate that the troll's universe was created by a Sburb session of 48 players, and that if the kids actually succeeded they would make a universe with 4 signs.

There's a mathematical progression here: x*y=z, where x is the number of players in the session, y is a number that increases by 1 with each larger game, z is the number of players in the next session. You need at least two players to play Sburb (client/server). So starting with that we get:

2 x 1 = 2
2 x 2 = 4 (kids)
4 x 3 = 12 (trolls)
12 x 4 = 48 (trolls creator?)
48 x 5 = 240

So following this progression, the session that spawned the universe that spawned the session that spawned the troll's universe would have had 240 players. This could continue on to quickly reach the proportions of a real MMO (by the tenth game, you'd have over seven million players).

However, it's more interesting to think about the reverse; if the kids succeed in making a universe, that's pretty much the end of the line. Being so near to the minimum, could that have some significance about why the kid's session is (likely) a null session?

Polaris · « **Reply #158 on:** January 29, 2011, 06:50:29 AM »

It really all depends on whether or not astrological signs are based off the players of the preceding universe as a constant. The trolls could've just decided to place themselves as astrological signs as a personal decision. (Unless it was confirmed somewhere that the astrological signs are present in every Sburb-created universe.)

Ahahahaha I love those stickers. Though, I've only seen the Tavros and... I think Aradia ones so far, aside from this one. This also reminds me that one day I'll need to, like. Get a Vriska shirt. Eventually, though. ::::V

I had this same theory for months now, though I couldn't really determine what mathematical system/thing is it, due to being bad in math, but I also noticed the thing about 4/12/48 having some kind of a relevance to each other. However, for some reason, I couldn't figure it out, that after 4 the next number would be 2, (as I said I cannot think mathematically) but a non-existent number (because it can't be smaller than that), and this being the reason for the null session. But now thinking about only 2 players.... Adam and Eve?

Also, 4:13, 4 kids, 12 Trolls, 1??? (Probably the enemy, aka Bec Noir?)

I liked how the whole fight against The Felt is basically a game of 8-ball. XD

Definitely some symbolism to the rest of the story, seeing how a Scratch is when you drop the cue ball in a pocket. Actually, the "player" of the game in the Intermission lost, since they scratched while trying to drop the 8-ball (escaped from Snowman by dropping down the hole).

Someone elsewhere suggested that Vriska killing Tavros was basically the blackrom equivalent of "let's just be friends." (or, y'know, enemies in this case). And that really, Tavros and Kanaya had run out of character-arc; with the Matriorb hopesploded, Kanaya really had nothing left except "Hey Um Rose I Kinda Feel Red Feelings For You" "Sorry, it'll never work out, you're an alien girl in another universe" "

", while on the other end of things, "Tavros gaining legit self-confidence would be interesting for about two seconds," as she put it.

One potentially good thing occurred to me, though: whoever takes down Vriska will be able to call themselves ... *puts on sunglasses* ... a Serket Breaker.
