Twin, I wasn't doing a big convoluted thing. I'm not planning a big story thing with it twin, its literally just extra minecraftians. If it makes you happy, pretend they're just Homestuck fans with said thing. The reason I figured it would be okay was because of one simple fact: It doesn't screw up continuity.
At all.
The reason I asked for Vriska was because involving Vriska in the first place would be a big thing that would screw up all sorts of stuff. Having the others involved through Minecraft accounts means one thing and one thing only. That they're still alive at some point in the timeline.
Time doesn't mean anything now does it? It could literally be at scattered times before the Scratch even!
Its a cameo, and filler, and this is just you flipping out for no good reason, similar to the fit you threw when I had a freaking piece of pottery fly in the from the tvtropes session with no greater consequence than that (an attack which you never counted by the way, even after we settled the matter).
This is not me deciding 'Oh they're just lying around, I'll just use them'. Seriously, I don't think like that. Remember, I asked you if I was allowed to use the CROCKERCORP FLEET!!!! When you'd basically spelled out its death warrant. I wouldn't have tried to pull this had it not been for the fact that it interferes with continuity in no way shape or form unless you decided that you were going to spontaneously say: 'Oops. Everyone in U1 died while you weren't looking. Too bad Homestuck fans, the trolls aren't allowed to be important.'
Really twin. I think these things out.
It was not in fact a case of me commandeering the plot for my own purposes, but fixing plot holes.
Case in point: If Vriska is playing Minecraft, and after the whole dimentio event, and everyone else knowing that Vriska has her hands in what's going on in Godcraft, they're going to come to her and ask what the heck is going on.
Vriska, having already had the conversation with Eric, has given up any alleigance to piono, and tells everyone else what's going on, at which point its agreed that the others will take advantage of the existing loophole (what the Homestuck shenanigans are all about in the first place, abusing the rules of SBURB) to try and get some handhold on what is to become of them.
Would ANY of them sit back idly while access to the events determining their fate was at their fingertips, literally waiting only for Sollux to hack them up some minecraft accounts? No! It wouldn't make sense and would be a huge out-of-character moment. It was already implied in Vriska and Eric's conversation that the trolls had had to flee their incipisphere because of the invading Warhammer 40K monsters.
Additionally, as you said, its minecraft avatars. This isn't a resummon of the four beta kids. I intentionally avoided that. The minecraftians here would in fact be weaker than every last one of the characters controlling them, due to the fact that said avatars do not have access to the echeladder or anything similar. To give an example, ectoBiologist's only attack is the warhammer of zillyhoo. Heir Conditioning is the only way for john's avatar to use breath powers. Period.
Similarly, Vriska's avatar would not be able to utilize Vriska's thief of light abilities without use of that final ability, and so on and so forth.
In short, I am in fact violating nothing, except for the fact that I didn't contact you, which I apologize for, but I didn't notice the loophole until literally the day of, and by that point it was too late to postpone the strife until you replied. Sort of a deadline to keep Ancalagon from being to unfair.
Please twin, let it go through. Its not violating anything, nor is it establishing anything new (except that Aradia god-tiered, which would kind have been expected, Equius and Nepeta never got murdered by Gamzee, which should have been obvious since Gamzee left to retrieve the chaos heart, and that the three guardians weren't dead, which would have been the case anyways since Jack left the session before he got the chance to kill them.) and it is only violating a few loopholes in a similar way that half of the stuff in DTG does, and in the name of making the fact that Vriska isn't getting curbstomped making sense.
Except this ISN'T me flipping out for no good reason. You are actively loopholing the Scratch, in its entirety. I'm pretty sure I have a good reason to call someone out if they're breaking an important rule. I would really appreciate it if you left these Homestuck characters out of this. I have things planed for them. I understand that this is for a cameo, but it is BREAKING A RULE. I don't understand your fixation with loopholes.
I also never said you could use the Crockercorp Fleet. When you asked me, I said you couldn't. Check our PMs.
I really don't want to talk about how this interferes with my plans, because I would have PREFERRED to keep it a secret. But it isn't going to be that simple that every Homestuck character will suddenly be able to log on to a computer and help Vriska. Universe 1, and both sessions, are fundamentally screwed on the molecular level right now. Beyond repair. Ever since Zero Hour, and even BEFORE Zero Hour.
So, I'm sorry, but this isn't going through. I'm serious. It DOES violate one of the most important rules in the entire game, and it ESTABLISHES that Universe 1 is stable enough to allow something like this to happen, which it isn't.

Terribly sorry about posting before you finish the EoTB, but I have to go do something that may take an hour or so.

+1 to Leon and Leon.
Join you, mister Maniac? Ha. I am afraid I would rather suffer the consequences, however dire they may be, or otherwise.
I step over to the Origin Wither once more. This time, I pull out a single bottle of ink. Then, I uncork said bottle, and the ink immediately levitates into the air, a violet psionic aura shimmering around it. The ink swirls about in the air, as if it were a living being. Alas. I have not yet formulated a device or solution with the capability to generate any form of life. Anyways, the ink begins to spin more and more swiftly, small flecks of it leaving psionic control, and spewing about. Eventually, air resistance kicks into effect, thus creating friction. Still, my will persists, dragging the ink streams around. The ink heats up even more; within a few dozen seconds, the ink becomes superheated, and begins to emit small ink embers occasionally. I make a... rather odd gesture, followed by digging my foot into the ground slightly, and the ink springs into motion. The tendrils of molten ink, thrashing about as a man suffering a seizure might, lunge towards the Origin Wither, spewing forth faintly iridescent embers and little specks of deep mauve psionic energy. Just before the stuff hits the Origin Wither, I leap into action, flash-stepping directly behind the Origin Wither. I pull out The Spellbinder, and write 'Stolida Quodam Motu'. Suddenly, the ink streams, currently moving at near the speed of sound, stop right in front of the Origin Wither; the resulting inertia may blow the Wither back. Then, I streak the wandlike apparatus forward, and the bolt of superheated ink resumes the path it was originally on, striking the Origin Wither. As the ink splatters upon the creature, the violet energy seeps into it. I flick The Spellbinder downwards, and the Origin Wither slams into the ground, the psionic power triggering the evaporation of a small bit of the creature into Flux Gas. The highly toxic vapor floods the throat of the Origin Wither, whether it breathes or not. I put The Spellbinder and the bottle away.
A few more leprechauns peer into the room. One with a blue hat, and one with an orchid hat. You bludgeon the blue-hatted one to death with your horse hitcher, and the other runs off in a hyperactive jig. Afterwards, a leprechaun with a red hat comes over to you wielding a crowbar. You knock him clean unconscious, and steal his Crowbar. Then, a person far taller than a leprechaun, clad in black clothes radiating cosmic energy and a wide-brimmed black hat, steps over the bodies to you. You look at her. She looks familiar, but you cannot quite place who she is. Obviously a Dersite Carapacian. 8? Hold on. This... this is...
Oh dear. How? Hold on... of course. She was a stowaway on your ship to your exile on V2, was she not? You hate this... this... Snowman beyond human comprehension. A human, for future reference, is a mythical pink creature akin to an orangutan without hair. Yes, I know. Very abnormal.
Anyways, the two of you glare at each other as two archenemies would. Slowly, you walk towards her, Crowbar in hand...
Stop.

I transform back into a human Minecraftian and decide to just keep focusing on the Godmodder's Army again with the STRONGMANN MACHINE taken care of. I order the Grand Ranch Cannons to switch their ammo from SHORT to LONG.
I then pull out the Sacred Sword and get to work on the Terrors as well, joining my group in the thick of it. No fancy flavor text this time, just me, an awesome sword, and as many Terrors as I can slay. FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
Overworld: Holy balls I am bad at directing an army. Okay. I'll go Trolldier on the Relic, have my army target the Godmodder's Army.

4th Wall: "Very well." I take the comm device and flash-step out, dropping it off before returning the drone to storage.
Blue's Tour: "Excuse me a moment. I think I heard someone cry for security. A familiar voice. Also, for some reason, I can't detect the ship AI, and there is a strong Lawful Neutral presence all over the place. So, y'know. Police." I say, flash-stepping to Blue and accidentally telefragging an unfortunate officer.
"Oops. I appear to have killed someone. I hope they weren't important. Unless they were part of a Police force. I don't get along well with those people. Now then. What's happening here? For some reason, I see someone that I hold affections for handcuffed, body parts of a police man that I telefragged, and some ***** with a sword. I'd like to know what the situation is..."
I pull out a Pomson 9000, aim at the detective, and prepare to fire.

I slam the Origin Wither into a group of Terrors repeatedly with telekinetic ability. Then, I slip The White Ring on my finger, and utilize the elemental power within to drown as many Terrors as possible with large portions of water I summoned with my mind.
Of course, the Doc is drowned out by the silence. The two of you, as you have now realize that she is your 'wise and just ruler,' have discarded your weapons, cigarette holder and crowbar. You engage in revolting hatesnogging.
Oh my. Oh my, oh my, oh my. This will not do at all.

Just curious, how much damage did this combo (Manpower, Chaos Controll, Nucelar Crystallow (5))? Or would have if the damage was higher than the remaining hps?
Nuclear Crystalbow > Fine = Nuclear Elementalbow (Level 7: 4/8) (4 because i count all my posts, even those where i forgot to mention that i continue to work on it, if thats okay.)
Multi-Powersuit 43/50
Hps: 200.000/200.000

-Fist of Fury: Standart attack.
-Fireball ||: Deals heavy damage to a single target.
-Aura ignite ||||: AoE attack, deals heavy damage to enemies nearby.
Recovery mode
-The armor liquidifies but stays near the Power suit in form of a mist, passively heals some of the HPs every turn.
-Fist of Tranquill: Standart attack, rather weak.
-Healing flows ||: Heals a good bit of the hps of a target.
-Mists Care ||||: Heals a lot of the hps of a target and dispells any status alingments.
Guard mode
-The armor strenghtens with a layer of solid rock, decreases damage taken by a percentage, adds 6666,66 hps to the maximum hps of the stonebarrier (if one exists) each turn.
-Crushing Fists: Standart attack, got a chance of stunning.
-Protect ||: Halves damage taken from the next attack, takes the damage of a select entity.

I activate the nucelar crystallbows abillity to charge! (Charges: 3)
Still being super, i jump onto the relic and rip pieces out of it with my BARE HANDS. Then i bury it by hammering the ground with Malleo Dei, ripping open the ground under the relic.

Twin, I am aware that you said no to the crockercorp fleet. And as you may have also noticed, I have not used them, and have no plans to use them in the future. I was not using it as an example of you letting me do something. I was using it as an example to point out that I do, in fact, ask you beforehand if its going to be something that might interfere with plot you already have planned.
And yes, maybe I'm loopholing, but I would like to point out as was stated the first time around earlier in this game when I was loopholing with the deliberate intent of rule abuse, rather than doing it to patch up plot holes, this is DTG, where the rules can bet bent, or even broken, as long as doing so doesn't grant you an unfair advantage, or ruin the game for others. Sigma and ninja's perpetual use of the exact same unit without any repercussion for example, or the one given by fseftr in the argument about the Scratch, the beginning of the PG alignment.
And another question I have is this: If U1 and both sessions are molecularly unstable, then how the heck has ANYTHING we've done involving Homestuck worked?
1. Scratch's manor. If the universe is too unstable to so much as run a computer game (that, I might add, bolsters the user's computer to the point where you have to reduce it to an unidentifiable heap of scrap metal to lose connection currently) then there's no way that U1 would have been able to support entities that run under a completely different set of physics without falling apart immediately. Same goes for the fight against Lord English.
2. The initial entry of the beta kids. Took place after Zero Hour my friend, if they were already molecularly unstable by that point, they would've had a very difficult time existing in Godcraft, no?
3. The whole plotline I've had going on with Vriska. If, as you say, Godcraft is now completely inaccessible from U1, even with the gosh-darned program built to enable access to it no matter the circumstances, the entire thing with Vriska would've been impossible. And pretty much everything Eric or piono have done since Scratch's Manor were motivated partially in some way by Vriska or Gamzee's interactions with them.
4. Trickster vs. Grimdark: Wouldn't work if U1, the location all of the Homestuck related stuff has been drawing on, was too unstable to make contact on its own. Without use of the minecraft client OR the fourth wall. Trickster energy draws on the power of the suckers, which could possibly use the homestuckcraft plugin (though improbably, but then again, Project Nexus, so I suppose that has an excuse, they're industrial use of improbability drives does have some side-effects, but not big ones.) might be okay with this, but going grimdark requires direct psychic communion with the horror terrors of paradox space. That's what going grimdark is. Its possession BY the horror terrors, and unless the horror terrors somehow have Minecraft, they don't have ANYTHING to boost their signal.
5. Everything Gamzee's done. Gamzee's actions instigated everything that is Eric's motivation currently. Had Gamzee not set off the massive paradox in Eric's fantasy universe, piono's other contacts wouldn't have had the opportunity to bring down the IUPC had there not been a freaking massive paradox event tearing apart a large universe cluster right next to their HQ. Additionally, the Dimentio event could not have happened had Gamzee not been able to leave, in fact, Dimentio wouldn't have even come to Godcraft had piono not had Gamzee to track down the Chaos Heart. Finally, piono wouldn't have been able to act with Eric breathing down his neck, which was why he had Gamzee make the paradox in the first place. Basically everything I've done since Scratch's Manor wouldn't work. And everything that's happened as a result of my actions. Including (but not limited to) The Massive Battle of Armies. In case it wasn't clear, Gamzee didn't leave U1 until after Zero Hour.
6. If U1 is too molecularly unstable for Sollux, the group's resident hacker, to run Minecraft. There is absolutely no way Vriska would've been capable of showing up in the first place.
Are you going to go through the headache of trying to loophole your way through trying to retcon that big a portion of the game away? I sure as heck ain't doing it for you. Partially because 1. it would be self-defeating and pretty much nullify any significant impact I've had on this game, and 2. Because it is far, far simpler to just have it be something along the lines of this: molecularly unstable since the Zero Hour event, but running smoothly enough for the inhabitants not to notice until Dimentio's paradox waves disrupted everything, making it spiral downhill. The reason why we've had virtually no contact from Vriska (Eric hasn't been able to contact her, I already had that in my head, just couldn't figure out why, but this explains it pretty nicely) since the Dimentio event is because the instability has gotten bad enough that pesterchum and trollian no longer work properly, but the massive signal boost caused by the Godcraft virus was strong enough to form a link.
As for the whole 'everybody just sitting down and helping Vriska'... No. That wasn't what I had in mind. Notice that in the flavor text they're in a large room? It was a similar ordeal to the setting up for trolling the beta kids, only worse because of new people, a new type of coding Sollux had to learn/convert into ~ATH, and sliding the molecular instability in there, the fact that half their stuff doesn't work any more. Seriously, we've had months since the Dimentio event. That's plenty time to set it up.
As for breaking one of the biggest rules of the game, I will point out the whole trickster vs. grimdark fiasco not too long ago. And if you really want to go in depth with the 'no Homestuck' rule as you officially declared it, attempting to claim enforcement of that is just laughable. Seriously. Its the only rule you DON'T try to enforce particularly hard. You point out the others when you catch it, but the Scratch has been ludicrously lenient.
Nor does it establish that U1 is stable, it merely establishes that it still exists.

Jack, while I have invited you here to better perceive the skills of your numerous enemies, romantic impropriety of the most disgusting kind should be kept to a minimum. Please try to keep this in mind.
Oh, for crying out loud.
You have just lit a match, and dropped it onto the gasoline-stained flooring by 'accident.' I believe a facepalm times zero combination would be in order in this particular occasion, but I shall not.
Luckily, the sprinklers come on and douse the flames.
So, you take a few more matches, light them, and toss them on the floor; they do not cause any worthwhile damage. From here, you grab the Crowbar, and smash the nearest things you can find. A table, the wall, an expensive-looking painting, and a chair. You narrowly miss a violet vesperium laptop that appears to have the Tengwar symbol for the stem ER on it.
Jack, I can tolerate many things from a disruptive guest. Curt manners, atrocious candy bowl etiquette, murdering the help, egregious womanizing, and repeated casual arson.
Scratch goes over to a closet, pulls out a Discipline Broom, and returns.
But it is the near-destruction of another welcome guest's possessions where I must draw the line. I'm afraid I must now insist you take your severe beating quite personally.

You feel a searing heat in your face as the broom striks your face.
> [o] BURN.

(Of course, that referred to the SkULL. burn tick tock Heh. code that young master Erelye used to create the V2 Doc Scratch. Anyways, the Doc snaps the broom by way of smacking you over the head with it.
I thought I could rely on you of all people, Jack,
He uppercuts you through a nearby window and onto a large manor.

He pulls a very deadly magnum out of the holster it was contained by, and points it at you, slowly spinning it around to face his head.

Can we take the argument over the Homestuck characters to the Forge or the PMs or somewhere else? It is definitely important, but I think this kind of thing is better off at the Forge and not in the main thread.
Come on noobs, focus on the terror withers! You can do better than 10,000 damage that...doesn't even look like it reduced the wither's health... I give the noobs a rallying cry, in an attempt to slightly strengthen their attack this turn.
Welcome derpx! Good luck with that. Although I don't think it'll damage the godmodder, although it might confuse someone's army.

So, I'm sorry, but this isn't going through. I'm serious. It DOES violate one of the most important rules in the entire game, and it ESTABLISHES that Universe 1 is stable enough to allow something like this to happen, which it isn't.
I fireball a few orcs. Seriously Midna! Get out of here!
No way! I want in on the action! I smash a terrors head in.
(Twin, Midna is going to be like the L()rd, attacking with me. Don't add her. She'll finish my storyline....)

+1 to Leon and Leon.
Join you, mister Maniac? Ha. I am afraid I would rather suffer the consequences, however dire they may be, or otherwise.
I step over to the Origin Wither once more. This time, I pull out a single bottle of ink. Then, I uncork said bottle, and the ink immediately levitates into the air, a violet psionic aura shimmering around it. The ink swirls about in the air, as if it were a living being. Alas. I have not yet formulated a device or solution with the capability to generate any form of life. Anyways, the ink begins to spin more and more swiftly, small flecks of it leaving psionic control, and spewing about. Eventually, air resistance kicks into effect, thus creating friction. Still, my will persists, dragging the ink streams around. The ink heats up even more; within a few dozen seconds, the ink becomes superheated, and begins to emit small ink embers occasionally. I make a... rather odd gesture, followed by digging my foot into the ground slightly, and the ink springs into motion. The tendrils of molten ink, thrashing about as a man suffering a seizure might, lunge towards the Origin Wither, spewing forth faintly iridescent embers and little specks of deep mauve psionic energy. Just before the stuff hits the Origin Wither, I leap into action, flash-stepping directly behind the Origin Wither. I pull out The Spellbinder, and write 'Stolida Quodam Motu'. Suddenly, the ink streams, currently moving at near the speed of sound, stop right in front of the Origin Wither; the resulting inertia may blow the Wither back. Then, I streak the wandlike apparatus forward, and the bolt of superheated ink resumes the path it was originally on, striking the Origin Wither. As the ink splatters upon the creature, the violet energy seeps into it. I flick The Spellbinder downwards, and the Origin Wither slams into the ground, the psionic power triggering the evaporation of a small bit of the creature into Flux Gas. The highly toxic vapor floods the throat of the Origin Wither, whether it breathes or not. I put The Spellbinder and the bottle away.

A few more leprechauns peer into the room. One with a blue hat, and one with an orchid hat. You bludgeon the blue-hatted one to death with your horse hitcher, and the other runs off in a hyperactive jig. Afterwards, a leprechaun with a red hat comes over to you wielding a crowbar. You knock him clean unconscious, and steal his Crowbar. Then, a person far taller than a leprechaun, clad in black clothes radiating cosmic energy and a wide-brimmed black hat, steps over the bodies to you. You look at her. She looks familiar, but you cannot quite place who she is. Obviously a Dersite Carapacian. 8? Hold on. This... this is...
Oh dear. How? Hold on... of course. She was a stowaway on your ship to your exile on V2, was she not? You hate this... this... Snowman beyond human comprehension. A human, for future reference, is a mythical pink creature akin to an orangutan without hair. Yes, I know. Very abnormal.
Anyways, the two of you glare at each other as two archenemies would. Slowly, you walk towards her, Crowbar in hand...
Stop.

I order the Grand Ranch Cannons to switch their ammo from SHORT to LONG.I then pull out the Sacred Sword and get to work on the Terrors as well, joining my group in the thick of it. No fancy flavor text this time, just me, an awesome sword, and as many Terrors as I can slay. FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

Also, for some reason, I can't detect the ship AI, and there is a strong Lawful Neutral presence all over the place. So, y'know. Police." I say, flash-stepping to Blue and accidentally telefragging an unfortunate officer.
"Oops. I appear to have killed someone. I hope they weren't important. Unless they were part of a Police force. I don't get along well with those people. Now then. What's happening here? For some reason, I see someone that I hold affections for handcuffed, body parts of a police man that I telefragged, and some ***** with a sword. I'd like to know what the situation is..."
I pull out a Pomson 9000, aim at the detective, and prepare to fire.

INVENTORY
And yes, maybe I'm loopholing, but I would like to point out as was stated the first time around earlier in this game when I was loopholing with the deliberate intent of rule abuse, rather than doing it to patch up plot holes, this is DTG, where the rules can bet bent, or even broken, as long as doing so doesn't grant you an unfair advantage, or ruin the game for others. Sigma and ninja's perpetual use of the exact same unit without any repercussion for example, or the one given by fseftr in the argument about the Scratch, the beginning of the PG alignment.
And another question I have is this: If U1 and both sessions are molecularly unstable, then how the heck has ANYTHING we've done involving Homestuck worked?
1. Scratch's manor. If the universe is too unstable to so much as run a computer game (that, I might add, bolsters the user's computer to the point where you have to reduce it to an unidentifiable heap of scrap metal to lose connection currently) then there's no way that U1 would have been able to support entities that run under a completely different set of physics without falling apart immediately. Same goes for the fight against Lord English.
2. The initial entry of the beta kids. Took place after Zero Hour my friend, if they were already molecularly unstable by that point, they would've had a very difficult time existing in Godcraft, no?
3. The whole plotline I've had going on with Vriska. If, as you say, Godcraft is now completely inaccessible from U1, even with the gosh-darned program built to enable access to it no matter the circumstances, the entire thing with Vriska would've been impossible. And pretty much everything Eric or piono have done since Scratch's Manor were motivated partially in some way by Vriska or Gamzee's interactions with them.
4. Trickster vs. Grimdark: Wouldn't work if U1, the location all of the Homestuck related stuff has been drawing on, was too unstable to make contact on its own. Without use of the minecraft client OR the fourth wall. Trickster energy draws on the power of the suckers, which could possibly use the homestuckcraft plugin (though improbably, but then again, Project Nexus, so I suppose that has an excuse, they're industrial use of improbability drives does have some side-effects, but not big ones.) might be okay with this, but going grimdark requires direct psychic communion with the horror terrors of paradox space. That's what going grimdark is. Its possession BY the horror terrors, and unless the horror terrors somehow have Minecraft, they don't have ANYTHING to boost their signal.
5. Everything Gamzee's done. Gamzee's actions instigated everything that is Eric's motivation currently. Had Gamzee not set off the massive paradox in Eric's fantasy universe, piono's other contacts wouldn't have had the opportunity to bring down the IUPC had there not been a freaking massive paradox event tearing apart a large universe cluster right next to their HQ. Additionally, the Dimentio event could not have happened had Gamzee not been able to leave, in fact, Dimentio wouldn't have even come to Godcraft had piono not had Gamzee to track down the Chaos Heart. Finally, piono wouldn't have been able to act with Eric breathing down his neck, which was why he had Gamzee make the paradox in the first place. Basically everything I've done since Scratch's Manor wouldn't work. And everything that's happened as a result of my actions. Including (but not limited to) The Massive Battle of Armies. In case it wasn't clear, Gamzee didn't leave U1 until after Zero Hour.
6. If U1 is too molecularly unstable for Sollux, the group's resident hacker, to run Minecraft. There is absolutely no way Vriska would've been capable of showing up in the first place.
Are you going to go through the headache of trying to loophole your way through trying to retcon that big a portion of the game away? I sure as heck ain't doing it for you. Partially because 1. it would be self-defeating and pretty much nullify any significant impact I've had on this game, and 2. Because it is far, far simpler to just have it be something along the lines of this: molecularly unstable since the Zero Hour event, but running smoothly enough for the inhabitants not to notice until Dimentio's paradox waves disrupted everything, making it spiral downhill. The reason why we've had virtually no contact from Vriska (Eric hasn't been able to contact her, I already had that in my head, just couldn't figure out why, but this explains it pretty nicely) since the Dimentio event is because the instability has gotten bad enough that pesterchum and trollian no longer work properly, but the massive signal boost caused by the Godcraft virus was strong enough to form a link.
As for the whole 'everybody just sitting down and helping Vriska'... No. That wasn't what I had in mind. Notice that in the flavor text they're in a large room? It was a similar ordeal to the setting up for trolling the beta kids, only worse because of new people, a new type of coding Sollux had to learn/convert into ~ATH, and sliding the molecular instability in there, the fact that half their stuff doesn't work any more. Seriously, we've had months since the Dimentio event. That's plenty time to set it up.
As for breaking one of the biggest rules of the game, I will point out the whole trickster vs. grimdark fiasco not too long ago. And if you really want to go in depth with the 'no Homestuck' rule as you officially declared it, attempting to claim enforcement of that is just laughable. Seriously. Its the only rule you DON'T try to enforce particularly hard. You point out the others when you catch it, but the Scratch has been ludicrously lenient.
Nor does it establish that U1 is stable, it merely establishes that it still exists.

Jack, while I have invited you here to better perceive the skills of your numerous enemies, romantic impropriety of the most disgusting kind should be kept to a minimum. Please try to keep this in mind.
Oh, for crying out loud.
You have just lit a match, and dropped it onto the gasoline-stained flooring by 'accident.' I believe a facepalm times zero combination would be in order in this particular occasion, but I shall not.
Luckily, the sprinklers come on and douse the flames.
So, you take a few more matches, light them, and toss them on the floor; they do not cause any worthwhile damage. From here, you grab the Crowbar, and smash the nearest things you can find. A table, the wall, an expensive-looking painting, and a chair. You narrowly miss a violet vesperium laptop that appears to have the Tengwar symbol for the stem ER on it.
Jack, I can tolerate many things from a disruptive guest. Curt manners, atrocious candy bowl etiquette, murdering the help, egregious womanizing, and repeated casual arson.
Scratch goes over to a closet, pulls out a Discipline Broom, and returns.
But it is the near-destruction of another welcome guest's possessions where I must draw the line. I'm afraid I must now insist you take your severe beating quite personally.
> [o] SKULL.
You feel a searing heat in your face as the broom striks your face.
> [o] BURN.
A green aura about the Doc, he slams the broom into your face once more at such a trajectory that the blow knocks out three of your teeth.

(Of course, that referred to the SkULL. burn tick tock Heh. code that young master Erelye used to create the V2 Doc Scratch. Anyways, the Doc snaps the broom by way of smacking you over the head with it.
