Ly'lacs entries are using ===>, meaning that theres going to be 6 players in her session (according to usual rules). Theres 4 key characters we know so far (Ly'lac, tinnitusChakra, auguryAside and cloisteredConnoisewer) and a chat with (i counted) 22 (!!) other people, 3 of whom were immediately banished/ banned.


It looks like we're following the rule where only kids with ACTG initials are relevant, (referencing DNA), in which case only agaememnonsTheory (another mod in the chat) is another player, leaving one player left to be revealed.


Based on vibe, auguryAside and cloisteredConnoisewer are nymphs (magic/water) and tinnitusChakra and agaememnonsTheory are satyrs (greek mythology/tech). I'd say we've one satyr left to be named! Unless anyone thinks the players in the cha.os chat are relevant at all?

Free your mind of the idea of deserving, of the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.

@bluntclaw yeah - i finally read through the upd8 thread! based on the cha.os sigil it'll be a 10 player game, despite everyone talking about a huge 48 player game lol

@pocketguac People are talking about a 48 player session because back in 2011, Andrew Hussie used to joke about a 48 player squiddle session creating the troll universe.

Yeah I belive this theory too because I’m gonna be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of the 48 player session theory because 1) it so obviously seems like a joke to me, and 2) the number of equal signs currently present contradict this theory. I did not notice that detail in the Cha.os sigil tho, thats good catch. I think it definitely means something.

I honestly thought the Shurb server was a general game discussion channel instead of everyone playing the same session. It makes sense that all the mods would be playing separately, I guess. 48 player squiddle session is stupid because there's more than just squiddles here.
