Would you play Sburb?

YES. I AM PLAYING. I DO NOT LIKE MOST PEOPLE SO I WILL GATHER MY MOIRAIL AND A FEW OTHERS. AND PLAY. BESIDES I DO NOT CHOOSE TO PLAY. THERES THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME OTHER SHMuCK TO GET THEIR HANDS ON SBuRB AND I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE WITH THAT PARANOIA. BuT MAINLY BECAuSE I WANT TO.

I WILL BE THE PRINCE OF DOOM. THIS HAS BEEN DECIDED. AND I DO NOT REALLY uNDERSTAND WHAT THAT ENTAILS DESPITE READING ABOuT IT MANY TIMES. I SuPPOSE THIS MEANS IM PRIMED FOR MY GOD TIER JOuRNEY.

MY LAND IS NEW YORK. SEPTEMBER 11TH. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN DETERMINED. THE LAND OF MONOLITHS AND DOOM. WHAT ELSE WOuLD IT BE.

I AM PROTOTYPING MY EDDSWORLD PLuSH AND A uSELESS ITEM, LIKE APPLE SAuCE OR A PILLOW. I HAVE THOuGHT ABOuT THIS DEEPLY AND THAT SEEMS TO BE THE BEST ROuTE FOR ME TO GO.

MY SESSION WOuLD BE ME, TEREZI, TAVROS, JAKE AND LITTLE JOHN. MAYBE DAVE, NICOLE AND DIRK. BuT AT THE MINIMuM THERE WOuLD BE 5 PLAYERS. YOu DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE. OBVIOuSLY.

IF WE GO WITH EVERY POSSIBLE PERSON, THERE WILL BE A PRINCE OF DOOM, KNIGHT OF MIND, SEER OF VOID, PAGE OF HOPE, KNIGHT OF TIME, WITCH OF LIFE AND ROuGE OF SPACE.

THAT IS MY SESSION. ARE WE COOKED? TLDR; YES. I AM PLAYING.

FUCK NO. have you READ homestuck??? im not playing that game that shit traumatized like everyone who played it. if i did i think i'd just have all my loved ones play with me but that doesn't MATTER i am NOT PLAYING SBURB

Only if I can play with my friends

100% i need to take every chance to survive

At this point Id do anything for a magical adventure of some kind - besides of if the universe is going to throw me a bone, Id rather not get smushed by meteors. Like choosing not to play I feel is just giving up before the trail has even begun, shits inevitable so I dont see a reason not to get up and fight with the people you care about

Heir of Space + Knight of Time + Bard of Doom = Reasonable chance of victory in my mind, just gotta hustle

hell no. i love the earth too much to leave it

Fucking NO???? but if it was a universe where homestuck wasn't real so we wouldn't know but Sburb became real uhh,, im very easy to convince to play games so me and my friends would probably end up playing it because someone was like "lol this looks fun" and then we would DIE

i would absolutely play the game no hestitation

Depends on the situation. Your hypothetical states that the world survives whether the game is played or not, so other than personal death/traumatic events to the players everything else is safe. While I personally would want to play for both the escapism and the adventures, I know the people I'd want to play would definitely have some concerns (but would relent eventually). I think the session would have a high likelihood of succeeding. The crew would consist of a Maid of Space, a Mage(?) of Doom(?), Heir of Time, Seer(?) of Mind, a Rougue(?) of Breath, and a Page(?) of Blood(?). So as long as everyone communicates we'd be fine, and seeing we're all late 20's to late 30's we don't have to worry about any teen drama! My only fear is my matesprite being a Doom player and likely having to suffer by watching us all die in some form. (Any ? means I'm classpecting without any confirmation just vibes.)
I'm not going to go through each of their lands (mainly because I haven't finalized them in my noggin yet) and still am working to pin down mine as well. I've been though a couple of renditions as a Maid of Space, but right now its LoHaF (Land of Hollows and Frogs). My kernel will be once prototyped before entry with my Scalemate plush I made (Professor Appletums) to give rise to Appletumsprite. Second prototype will be after entry to avoid giving enemies a buff, it'll be my beloved Sollux, an Eastern Hercules (Dynastes tityus) who is lovingly preserved in ethanol in my freezer :'[. But at least I'll get to talk to him again when I get Sollutumsprite!

I'd play the game in a heartbeat. I'd absolutely take a life of fantastic adventure if I'm able, especially if I can bring my friends along

If I wanna die, I wanna die doing something cool, and hell, I'd just be happy to fight tooth and nail on that shit, especially if there's no Lord English or doomed timelines to worry about

As for my prototypes? Easy, my Toriel plush (sure, there's a risk of the Dersites learning fire magic, but also monster souls are weaker and her pacifism might help, and if not that, I at least get a super cool motherly guide to help me out) and a nice suit (that might make Jack less likely to go full 'murder his own queen' mode)

No I am pretty sure I would fuck things up

yes and i'd fucking win

Probably. Mostly i think about how much bizarre stuff i can alchemize and visiting purple moon :)

Playing sburb with friends because it will be miserably lonely without them. My random bullshit for prototyping will be old laptop and mlp figure.

But i feel pressured by assigned godtier and moon, [someone] of void + derse.

I'd play it if it was JUST a video game. No universe destroying anything, just a multiplayer RPG. In other words, I'd play the Genesis Project version of Sburb. The actual thing though? HELL no, my god.

It's hard for me to imagine a world where "a magical and dangerous situation, out of fiction, has appeared to you in real life. Do you completely ignore it so you can live a mundane life?" is even a question. I mean, this would be a huge deal, beyond the scope of what seems possible in this world; how could I just walk away from that and not think about it constantly, forever? Plus it's not like "a mundane life" in 2025 is particularly comfy and secure in and of itself. Like this is chuunibyou to even contemplate but I see literally zero advantage to being "mature" about this situation. It's Sburb.

Honestly if I was actually in this situation I have no idea what I would do. Sburb, clearly, fucking sucks to be in. But it has still been one of my biggest escapist fantasies whenever life sucks too. I don't think it would be worth it in the long run; basically restricting all social contact to the handful of people I am playing with for the rest of my life and knowing that I am forever separated from all people, all culture, all places, everything that I didn't bring with me and that I can't manage to alchemize. Just knowing that I could never watch a new movie in the theater or listen to a new song probably wouldn't make it worth it. But I still can't say for sure I wouldn't play. If I'm being realistic the most likely outcome is that I would just be paralyzed in inaction, inaction in this case obviously meaning I don't end up playing Sburb.

the earth not being destroyed is giving my brain a bunch of "okay but then what about X Y Z" things (if no meteors is there a time limit for entry? what happens to the physical locations do they vanish leaving a crater or are duplicated into the game world? what happens if you cant convince enough people to play or an uneven player amount? is the end goal still birthing a new universe then or just beating the Final Boss?)

however i dont think any of those thoughts matter that much for my actual answer which is "yeah with the main goal of becoming at least part dragon since our science isnt quite there yet" which also can be boiled down to "someone should probably stop me before i do something horribly stupid and reckless" rar o.=.o

im back here and again im reiterating my point that i dont think playing sburb would be all that pleasant. like again. everyone who played it got traumatized. i don't want to go through that, escapism be damned. fuck sburb.

hell yeah. sburb may be completely traumatising but there's no way i'd pass up the opportunity to play it at all!! best way to play would absolutely be convincing a friend group to join in and to hope for a time player just in case of fuck-ups. thought i get not wanting to play sburb given that theres zero downsides to doing so but the idea of going on an adventure is just so alluring that i cant see myself NOT playing sburb!!

100 percent Yes! : O
