I have to wonder, regarding the ultimate riddle and ectobiology, if EVERY person that plays Sburb (or I guess is destined to) created themselves in the game paradoxically, or if it's just the successful session. Like, the other groups of humans we knew were playing Sburb as well back in Acts 1 & 2, or hell, FEDORAFREAK who canonically made it into the Incipisphere and is implied to have ascended to godtier... did they all make themselves as well? Or is it just the Egbert-Harleys and the Strilondes who were made in the game since... they beat the game which meant their babyselves had to be sent back to Earth from the veil at some point? I guess no meteor associated with your birth (and no dreamself), then you're basically destined to lose... except the beta kids were essentially destined to lose and half of the fucking plot of the comic is that they break and bend the rules of the game to their advantage, finding a seemingly impossible solution to overcome the fight for existence!!!


also, I would LOVE to learn more about tiers. Not just god tiers, but the echeladder and if that's just something everyone has. But yes, also the actual God Tiers. I know it's mostly just a joke, what with how they only show up once and the Kiddy Campersash is basically the dying cry of Problem Sleuth-esque bullshit-game-mechanics-as-comedy in the story, but like IDK it'd be funny if that kept being a thing. Like imagine after killing Spades and Union Jack in Collide, after the explosive black hole that takes out a chunk of Dirk's fucking whatever planet, there's just a bunch of achievement badges floating around for them to go back and collect?


(Also, do only underlings drop anything? I guess with the Carapacians, they're moreso quest-related NPCs and background characters so it'd be weird and fucked up if you got grist for killing them.)


I wonder if every Sburb session has designated symbolic materials for each player that ties into their land (oil for john, chalk for rose, amber for dave, uranium for jade). Or if any session could have dream bubbles (since that was specifically a request of Feferi to the horrorterrors).
