Well, I know this is a long shot.. but what if we ban illusions? Show the truth? Sloth has been doing the whole lie thing over and over again. Hell, that's what this whole thing has pretty much been. Trying to find the truth of what happened and fix things.

So.. if Sloth can't use Illusions, can't use falsities, and we can see his true nature, we'd be able to end him once and for all. It means that Liz would be unable to use illusion magic ever again, but in the end, we need to know the truth if we want this to truly end right.

Someone please go over and start busting up Sloth's body so we can get at his focus crystal, and make sure he's dead. I frickin' hate true illusions now.

Anyway guys, the problem is, in order to win Liz would have to die. That's the 'heads' solution.

Virtue, why don't you give us a few more details about the 'edge' solution, since you're being a bit more talkative about it now? While we're at it, can you answer a few more questions for me? 1) Did Jacob seriously make a lizard maid AND a sexbot lizard? 2) Where's Wrath, and his focus crystal? 3) What happened to Jacob in this timeline? 4) What can you actually do with all this power, and why does it require Liz's death?

Here's a suggestion: Use the lizard maid instead of Liz for whatever you're doing.

>4) What can you actually do with all this power, and why does it require Liz's death?
>why don't you give us a few more details about the 'edge' solution.
You lose: game rewinds/endless cycle. You win: Epilogue plays/new game/endless cycle. Edge: Flee to reality/time unmoving/no cycle. Game reset necessary. Lizbeth created after game start, thus nonexistent/unmade. You will cease to remember all information of the game since its beginning.
:Helga: What about if the players just stop playing after the epilogue? Wouldn’t that stop the cycle?
:lizbeth: What do you believe happens to us then?
:kevros: You killed billion of people to destroy the game!?
:lizbeth: No. I only changed numbers. They weren’t people.
:kevros: But they had souls!
:lizbeth: A soul in this place is just another 1 in your code. You do not exist. None of us do. The only way we can exist is if we escape the cycle. Do you wish to escape it or do you wish to play endlessly?

No. 480707 ID: 60c0a1

In that case when one plays endlessly, the chances of things approach infinity. Thus there is both an infinite chance of a perfect ending and a horrible ending. Why not calculate what action to perform to initiate the perfect ending?

Your logic is contradictory. The people who died for this plan were as "alive" and besouled as the party here you are trying to save. If the masses were worthless, soulless creatures, so is the party. If the party is worthy of rescue to the "real" world, so are the people you sacrificed.

Yeah pretty much. Take life into your own hands, continue running the simulation indefinitely without ending the game.

Okay, so what you're saying is, everyone except Lizbeth here were created before the game started, just for the purpose of being put into this game? It's like you're saying that this is a quest on some sort of online forum and Lizbeth was created due to a vote-based character generation process.

Tell us what reality is, then.

Also, last time we asked about changing Liz's fate, you said this 'Edge' solution was the way to save the world without sacrificing her. Either you weren't being honest with us then, or you aren't being honest with us now. It sounds like the 'win' condition doesn't sacrifice her at all.

Finally, where did Wrath's crystal come from, exactly? Who inserted it, and how did Wrath die?

>If the masses were worthless, soulless creatures, so is the party.
Correct. It does not matter who is saved. To save the highest amount of people is the optimal outcome.
>Also, last time we asked about changing Liz's fate, you said this 'Edge' solution was the way to save the world without sacrificing her.
Incorrect. Your inquiry: “how you can change your fate.” Answer: Head/tails: endless cycle – Edge: Sacrifice. Edge changes fate from endless cycle.

>Finally, where did Wrath's crystal come from, exactly? Who inserted it, and how did Wrath die?
Subject: Jacob… Died 4819 years ago at the age 37… 3 years after the event. Crystal already inserted. Crystal inserted by Subject: Jacob... 4819 years ago. Couse of death... Sacrifice.

Mascot/shout out/Dope.

Your world.

>You can act without us prompting you, so the simple solution is for the game to never end.

Incorrect. No matter how long you leave a game it will never progress on its own. Without player input this world will cease to update. Either we replay from the start, get frozen in time or escape the game. Your choice.

>>480768
Um, okay, we're getting really meta here, but... I don't see how it's possible for any of these characters to escape. How can they possibly exist in our world? They don't have any bodies here waiting for them, and we don't have magic to break the rules of reality to let them in anyway. Personally though, I feel that if a character exists in the author's mind with enough definition so that the author doesn't even need to think about how they would act, they may as well be a real person. At that point they can basically write themselves.

Here's another choice. We win, the epilogue plays, and the epilogue continues to play until everyone is dead from old age or otherwise. There is no end of time issue if everyone is dead.

Ooooor, we have a sequel. We just keep having sequels forever. It's quite possible for a 'new game' to be in the same world.

Oh right, we could also, maybe... make one of the characters into a player and have them continue to play forever offscreen? Graven was able to enter text in the suggestion field. He became a player, very briefly, before he started only ever interacting inside the game area. We might need more than one character to do this though, since games like this tend not to work with only one player.
>>
No. 480799 ID: f2c20c

I also forgot to mention- Liz 'changed the game date' before to skip ahead 5 years in the illusion. Can't she do that multiple times during the epilogue to extend the time the epilogue lasts? So long as we play time will continue, and having large amounts of time between updates means we don't have to play for very long on our side. Time could be extended to like, the heat death of the universe if Liz survives that long. That would be more than acceptable.

>Liz 'changed the game date' before to skip ahead 5 years in the illusion. Can't she do that multiple times during the epilogue to extend the time the epilogue lasts?
:lizbeth: That was an illusion. The game is not programmed to play any longer than 1 year into the future. After that it will crash and reset the cycle.

OH GREAT. Well, enough of this existential nightmare. I refuse to let this emotionless machine choose the way the world ends. Especially since it's been in the service of Sloth all this time! It's a Virtue component, and Sloth was Virtue. I forgot that little detail. "end all suffering" my ass. Damn thing just wants to end EVERYTHING.

Is it safe to just unplug Liz? Or we could just pull out the crystals. Graven should have some idea of what to do here. I'm also not sure if destroying is actually dangerous or if that was a lie. Just stopping it should work for now, I'm betting.

Or heck. Liz, can you fight it? Can you counter-control it via Golemancy? The fate of the world could be in your hands if we can't turn this thing off.

>According to the words of your prophets magic does exist in your world.
According to the words of our prophets everyone on our planet is descended from alien spirits enslaved in a volcano. And the world was supposed to end 5 days ago. And our savior has wine and crackers for blood and bones. And we were supposed to have Mars colonies decades ago. And so on. Our prophets rarely agree on much of anything, and it's even rarer that their predictions makes sense, much less are correct.

Besides, what would be the point of escapist fantasy if your world wasn't fundamentally different from our own in a way to make it interesting?

It wouldn't be creating a simulated universe either if there was a way for things to cross out into the main universe, either. It would just be walling off a little room. The whole point of the simulation is it is distinct, and that the rules don't necessarily have to be the same as the host universe.

...we should trust the logic of a computer that can't even conjugate its verbs correctly?

Then there's the outcomes: heads we win, only then time itself runs out, everyone dies. Tails we lose, the universe resets, everyone dies. Edge, everyone tries to escape to the real world, discovers that's impossible, and everyone dies.

All outcomes the oracle have presented us with are a bad end. Surrender is illogical, because it will shortly be indistinguishable from defeat and death. The only logical course of action is to resist and attempt to forge our own path.

Hah, I KNEW there had to be a time magic-using Wrath golem somewhere! I didn't expect it to be the Oracle though. Jeez.

Slicing its wiring might work. So would finding whatever the power supply is here and shutting that off, but I dunno if we have the time for that. However it probably has access to Rewind so as long as it has the means to interfere with us we will have a lot of trouble doing anything. That said, Time magic has no direct offensive uses.

Also, I'll note that Wrath stopped time in response to Helga trying to unplug Liz. Want to try that again?

The computer is a fool that knows not what it speaks of. We live in recursions within recursions. Somewhere some how in your world is somebody playing a game in which humans go about living to the them exotic lives and so on and so forth. Each world plays another, each world plays each other. People who exist there exist here, those who exist here exist there. Therefore there was no chance of your victory because even if you won here and ended it over and done. Yet another will pick up the world and so on and so forth. To end every possibility is to take into account the possibility that your possibility shall be overturned. So let's keep going because either way victory shall never be earned by the other side.

That being said if Serge is being Mind Raped by the truth that this device seems to hold so dear, negate Serge's current situation with mind rape of our own.

Talking about worlds ending is just a new face concealing a one of the oldest issues in philosophy. Simply put, everyone dies eventually, but the finite quantity of a thing such as life does not make it worth any less. The death of a world is simply a cause of many deaths and should be treated as such. This means that it should be avoided if possible, but it does not invalidate what came before it.

Anyway, check if the paper has changed than skip further ahead in it.

Billions? That's an exaggeration. Besides, even if a story ending- or not being finished- can be compared to everything in it dying, you have to also take into account that the world didn't exist at ALL before the story started. If there is life, there must also be death. Be glad we are creating worlds at all. The reason for their stories ending might be kinda shallow, but so was the reason for them being made. Plus, it's not like the characters suffer when the story ends. It just ends.

Wrath, even if you somehow managed to escape the story and put an end to the creative aspirations of every writer in our reality, you wouldn't be saving anyone. You would merely be preventing the birth of new worlds. Doesn't matter anyway though, because what you're attempting is COMPLETELY 100% IMPOSSIBLE. You're just an annoying villain in a sprite-based quest on the internet. You can't exist outside the author's head.
Plus, let me tell you a few things about our world. We've got war, famine, corruption, poverty, and pollution so bad it's slowly overheating the atmosphere and will most likely cause the collapse of the global ecosystem. There are no Lizards or Dwarves, and our civilization is founded on pure technology without any magic. Our tech is based off of the intimate knowledge we have about how the world works- electricity drives our machines, and we create new materials and tools via careful manipulation of chemical and physical reactions. More importantly, there is no evidence that any of us have souls. Personally, I believe we're all organic robots- our actions are based entirely on our memories and the physical attributes of our brains. Our emotions are just chemicals sloshing around in our skulls, our love is just an instinctual aide for reproduction, and when we die, we simply die. Religion is a comforting farce created by our brains' need for something to keep us going in spite of the fear of death.
Life in your world has more meaning than in ours, despite it being not "real". Your actions are objectively evil, you stupid machine.

Liz, it sounds like Serge is outside fate, somehow. Since we're up to our ears in meta, maybe he's an author insert? Does the paper include your actions, Liz? What about Serge's troops? Regardless, if he's the only person who can act outside the author's script (and that's what you've got there- it's the script), then he's the only person who can stop this.

Kev, you should try to keep Serge alive, probably.

Actually, let me make something clear here. I love these created worlds. It is my passion in life to participate in helping characters like you guys achieve what they want in life. I've been doing it for years; longer than I've ever done anything else, and I'm not getting tired of it.

I'd also like to point out that most of these worlds halt in their tracks not because they aren't entertaining to the readers, but because the author either can't or won't continue. It is not that we don't care about you guys. It's just that not everyone who makes a story can stick with it to the end. It's hard, and our lives are not all stable. We have our own obligations, you know. We have families and jobs, and we can die. I really would not blame boredom.

Oh, lastly... I should correct you more specifically about how frequently worlds are created. It's more like, one for each one of our days. Unfortunately due to how time in your world passes compared to ours, there is NO real comparison to be made to a 'heartbeat' in your world. Time passes for us in a completely different way. So basically 'billions of worlds' ending every 'heartbeat' could be accurate if every 'heartbeat' lasted an eternity, but honestly I doubt humanity will even survive long enough for a billion fictional interactive worlds to be created. On the other hand if you're including any piece of fiction ever written ever, even just page-length fanwanks, then maybe thousands a day would be closer, but holy crap why would you do that.

So, hang on, what happened to that talk about justice? This isn't justice. You don't care about life, or evil, or suffering, you only care about how angry you are. So you want to destroy everything, including yourself, because you're angry (and handling it worse than Kevros) about not being real? Don't you realize that's exactly what the author wants you to do? You're playing into his hands. Look at the papers Liz is holding. They're describing every action you take. That's because that's the original script for the game. Everyone else in this room is free from the shackles of fate. Why aren't you?

We're helpless here, as you've demonstrated. We can't fight you directly or indirectly. All we can do is ask, please. Stop. For your own sake, as well as those in your world.

Oh right and the first thing Hans should do is heal Serge back together. He's got da powah.

Just a note, when we do eventually escape this place, don't forget to bring the lizard maid body with us so we can turn it into Graven's new body. Speaking of Graven, he's been quiet.

I'm still not sure that's how this actually works. From our perspective, all evidence seems to point to fiction worlds continuing to progress after we check out. Hell, there are worlds that have outlived their original creators, and the original players/readers/whatever for that matter too.

Also, the "jump to the real world" plan isn't gonna work. No matter how much power you accumulate in this world, it's just a number in a computer in the other.

Okay, look. I just remembered something important. There's a way we can interact with your world to keep it going even after the game ends. It's called ITQ. We can basically ask questions of you guys about the future, and you can answer them, and in that way the future will have happened. It's kindof like an extended epilogue.

As for the power to change the game... well, I'm not sure we should. What would we want to change? It has to be something in the present, or else the world would be destroyed by the paradox. As for escaping, I really don't think that's possible, and besides, we don't think it's worth unmaking Liz to do so. If you think you can change the game so that it has its own internal time so that we don't need to be here for it to keep going, then that would be optimal.

Hang on though, I noticed Clown isn't in here. Was the original person not directly involved in the project? Also, what's up with that rock and the blood splatter?

Also I thought you shot Pride in the face. What's he- oh wait you guys are all dead and these are your souls floating around in the machine. It's almost like Liz is dead now, huh? I think we should see what he has to say, even if it's a load of megalomaniacal bullcrap.

Oh, hang on. During our first meeting, before being revealed as Wrath, Oracle claimed that magic would end, not that time would end... and that we were the cause. I'm wondering which case is true... or if both cases are true? It's possible that Sloth basically turned Oracle into Wrath by reprogramming her... or she became Wrath because we changed the timeline when we had Jacob kill Pride instead of the other way around. I'm not sure what the end of the world really is, anymore.

I do know one thing for certain- even if magic dries up, people can still survive on the surface via non-magic technology. Farming! Livestock! We might have to actually create some books to teach them how to do that stuff, though, since they're so reliant on magic right now. Also I'm not sure if livestock exists anymore. We might have to create that too. Probably food crop seeds as well, just so they get a head start on things. Oh, we'd want to create like, a year of canned surplus food for them so that they survive long enough to get the food industry going, too.

But putting aside our skepticism for the moment and assuming the world really does work that way, what are we supposed to do about it? You've already rejected allowing us to just keep interacting with you (ITQ and sequels), you claim setting up time dilation (ie, 1 year for us equals the age of the universe for you or whatever) can't be done, and you've rejected the idea of ascending someone inside the game to "player" status so nothing ever stops.

The one that is in a superposition state of life and death until you open the box, at which point the wave function collapses and the cat will either turn out to have been alive or dead all along (assuming, for whatever silly reason, that the cat itself doesn't count as an observer to the radiactive decay and release of the poison). Jeeze, it's like you guys don't know anything about quantum mechanics thought experiments.

If you're just putting a cat in a box to see if it dies from lack of air you're doing it wrong!

>What? We can’t just leave these loony’s in charge of this thing!?
Well yes, but what are we supposed to tell MAgs after we leave you here?

>Choose a route!
...what if we ascended everyone to godhood player status? That way we get the benefits without giving a few the ability to abuse their power.

Or if that doesn't work, we could go with time dilation. If the heat death of the universe kicks in before time grinds to a halt, it's not like anyone will notice (actually, it's not like anyone would notice time stopping in a year, either).

>trust ITQ to keep us alive…
Yanno, I think I'm going to support Grav's pessimism on this route. Your world isn't serious or consistent enough for people to reliably keep coming to ask questions. By this point we accept it's all wibbly wobbly timey wimey mind screw illusions and bullshit.

He was programmed so only we should activate the focus crystals, except if we died, then Virtue should get the authority to control them. To detain him from just killing us of if he ever went haywire, we also programmed him to be both unable to harm us in anyway and not getting control of the crystals if he ever succeeded in offing us personally somehow. Of course, he got around this by “accidently” killing us in the initially sundering of the surface, creating perfect copies of our bodies and sticking our souls in them, programming us to attack an insane super powerful mage, whom he later released into the world when he had gotten enough power to proceed with his plan.
:lizbeth: …Isn’t that a little too complicated?
:mrw: We’re still not sure if he had to do it like this to bypass his programming or if he did it because he was a sadist and wanted to watch us suffer for 4000 years.
:freya: I’m guessing a little of both.
:lizbeth: Well, if anything, that does kind of proves that he was insane…
>...what if we ascended everyone to player status?
:mrw: …But they there wouldn’t be anyone left for them to play?

>ALL the plans.
:lizbeth: Clearly the best plan.
>Won't they eventually just go completely crazy due to being alive for that long?
:davros: We’ve been alive for thousands of years, and we’re not crazy.
:rid: I’m a one eyed cucumber >: D
:davros: Mostly not crazy.
:mrw: We should always just change the people who are players, right? Throw out the ones that are insane and so forth. Of course, we need someone to oversee the whole thing that’s not insane…
:graven: “Cough”
:davros: Right, we got a plan. All the plans. So scamper of to the real world so we can start, Liz.
:lizbeth: B-but Graven? Dammit Graven, stop being difficult and come with me!
:graven: NEVER!

Insert isn’t it over yet?_


:freya: Um… Jacob? What are you looking at?
:mrw: …I have no idea!

"So you DON'T want Mags and I to double-team you until you can't walk straight? Darn, I was looking forward to that. Maggy will be heartbroken.

Oh, and if you deserve this for whatever you did, then what exactly do you think Maggy the assassin deserves?"

Have the characters be the overseers. Then if the players abuse their power or go insane, the characters have a means to fight back. The characters being played get to decide if they don't like the players, and can call for replacements. That's their advantage. The players get to live for a very long time and experience lots of stuff they normally wouldn't. That's their advantage.

It's a balance! So that way Graven doesn't have to stay behind. Besides, if Graven tried to be overseer forever eventually he'd have the same issue players have, and who would decide who replaces him?

Also, Graven. In our dream we changed the future so that you were alive at the end. Don't give up, dammit. Heck, we have a reality-changing machine here. We can just set you=alive, right?

Oh, and one last thing. We need to put something in to make sure new characters are chosen for the players to suggest for. I mean, Liz probably won't want to live forever, and she might have an accident anyway. The other characters are mortal. So, there needs to be some sort of method for people becoming player characters. I think it should be pseudo-random; it should probably pick people who are going on adventures or have other interesting problems to solve.

>We need to put something in to make sure new characters are chosen for the players to suggest for.
:mrw: Well, we can easily chose which character we will follow from here. Everyone got a line in their data which can be changed to a 1 so they become a new player character. That is after all what happened to all your party members.

>Maggy will be heartbroken.
:graven: She’ll get over it…
:freya: That’s cold.
:graven: …I-I mean...um… I don’t want to return, okay?
:lizbeth: So you DON'T want Mags and me to double-team you until you can't walk straight? Darn, I was looking forward to that.
:graven: W-W-WHAT!? I… I… stop teasing me, dammit!
:lizbeth: I’m not teasing. You know I’m a nymphomaniac. You just can’t admit something that good should happen to you.
:mrw: Or he’s gay.
:lizbeth: Well, in that case we got gender changing potions and Kevros.
:davros: You’re scaring the poor boy, Liz…

>Oh, and if you deserve this for whatever you did, then what exactly do you think Maggy the assassin deserves?
:graven: She only killed people she didn’t know!
:Lizbeth: But you only killed someone in an accident.
:graven: I tried to kill her father so I should marry her mother, dammit! That not really something you just forgive and forget!
:lizbeth: um…
>Don't give up, dammit.
:lizbeth: Never mind that… Listen, I know you’re scared about admitting these things to Maggy, but you regret it, right? You know you made a grave mistake, so please, don’t make another. Do you really think Maggy deserve this?
:graven:
:davros: Oh, and just a reminder. You do realize the one you tried to murder is standing right here. I mean, most people would be quite… angry that you killed their wife and is about to kick their daughter will they are down, hmm?
:mrw: I been wondering about that. Why are you more scared about someone that loves you in the mortal world then several crazy psychopaths that are stuck in a place where you can feel pain but not die?
:graven: …right, Liz, let’s go have that threesome or something…
:lizbeth: Sweet.
:graven: And don’t say anything about this to Maggy. I’ll tell her myself so she can murder me as soon as she hears it…
:lizbeth: of course.
:davros: Bye now! …and remember, we’ll be watching!
:mrw: Time jump is a go!

Oh damn. Forgot we should have probably made her a real girl.

Oh well, at least Kevros had a sexy ageless wife his whole life? That's something.

Alright!

So obviously, Hans gets to play the Huns. Only we renames them the Hans. And Liz gets to be Lizabeth the great of Lizland.

Yay!

I *did* bring up her immortality during the whole discussion but oh well. As for Serge uh well whoops? Poor guy, he really got the short end of the stick.

Let's see one where we made Kev immortal alongside Liz (what happened to her children anyway?), remembered to give Serge his legs back, and probably some other thing we're forgetting. Magic spaceship so L&K won't wind up floating forever in the void of space with nothing to do?

You haven’t unlocked that ending. Please play again to unlock it.

Like most children, they grew up and died of old age. You do kind of loose the connection to people after a few generations though.
