Now that there's an intermission, I might join, if I ever learn how to play this game.
It's really not that hard. The game has a lot of different playstyles, and if you look past that, the core of the game is, at least in my opinion, pretty accessible. We just finished a pretty big story arc, which, if you've been following the thread for the past seven months, you'd know moved the spotlight away from the Godmodder, and introduced a lot more side-mechanics. After this intermission, we'll be going back to basics, which should make it easier for new players to join!
If you've got any questions about the game, which I'm sure you do, feel free to send me a private message.
The enormous ship rises up into the air, huge engines glowing orchid. The ship is about the size of two football fields, with another, much smaller ship flying below it in its shadow. The smaller ship is about the size of a house. A player paces inside it. The two ships pick up speed. They nearly crash into a mountain when suddenly, a slipspace portal opens and they fly through it into the inky blackness beyond.

The visions of the universe faded into solid black and were accompanied by the feeling of wet grass. Wilson had regained conscious. He opened his eyes to look around, but saw nothing. Not nothing as in nothing out of the ordinary or nothing interesting, just nothing. His vision was completely black. He must have gone blind because he couldn't even see himself. Wilson cried out, but had no voice. However, he realized that he had actually gone deaf as well because he could feel the could feel the air leaving his mouth. The energy that clockwork box had emitted must have been devastating. Hopefully this would be temporary. Wilson stood up to then stagger. One of his legs was probably fractured. This is the price of heroism. Nobody ever sings about what happens to the warriors after the battle. He would have to get somewhere dry to rest and find something to use as a bandage. Wilson limped through the soundless and pitch black void. This was actually more terrifying than anything he had faced in the battle. You never realize how horrific simply nothing can be. Each step tested his will farther. It was lucky that the pain hadn't set in yet. After what seemed like hours, Wilson found a patch of leaves. The soil was moist so there might be a river or lake nearby. He set out to use the leaves as crude bandages when he noticed that they were now wet. They weren't wet before and it wasn't raining. Wilson realized with a sinking feeling that the wetness was his own blood. The leaves helped as bandages a bit. He felt around for other things nearby. There was some sugarcane. He managed to craft a small amount of it into almost paper to use as bandages. If there was sugarcane there must be water right next to it. Sure enough, there was. Wilson used it to wash himself off before applying the paper bandages. Finally, he laid down to rest on a fresh patch of leaves. Something he hadn't noticed before was that this area smelled smoky. Was he still nearby the battle site?
Giving yourself a backstory kinda limits what you can do. I guess I'm distancing myself from the limiting effects by giving a backstory to Wilson rather than myself.
So, what IS everyone? I can remember myself being an AI, Serpent apparently being a Troll (Homestuck kind, not common internet kind), Twinbuilder being... a First Guardian, but I can't remember much else. ZE DATA IS REQUIRED HEAH!

Well, I'm an engineer {No, really, I've been on the build team for a robot}, whose avatar has a separate mind, wearing power armor that contains H3r0br1n3 as a tactical advisory AI. {H3r0br1n3 being different than Herobrine, because this one is a much earlier version, before it was quite so demonic, and is more GladOS-y.}

Very well. First, I shall get the characters sorted out. Fanindir, an elven archmage whose story is described in I, the as-of-now nameless King of the city of Alcara, and The Lich, who was Fanindir's former apprentice, and then went evil and insane and got himself killed. He was, of course revived as a Lich, denoting his title.
Alright, so Fanindir was the advisor of the king of Alcara, (not to mention that OP guy who did whatever he wished when he pleased) and one day, he heard a rumor that his former apprentice was still alive in some way. He brushed it off as mere hogwash, until he found a note attached to the door of his study, by means of a dagger, saying "I'm coming." Fanindir immediately retreated to his fortress and prepared for invasion. He, being the overpowered elf he was, was correct. During the invasion a boulder from a catapult hit a beam of the castle, which promptly collapsed on Fanindir. No word of him was heard ever again, but it is known that the invasion was somehow a failure, and the castle did not fall into disrepair for twenty more years. Now, we bring the story to Erelye, an elven wizard who could not remember his past. Sound connected? Erelye went adventuring for hidden knowledge for the greater part of thirty-six years, then decided to go to some libraries and obtain any fragments of arcane knowledge he could. The library contained history books, and the seemingly ageless Fanindir took a very long part in that. Erelye ventured to Fanindir's castle to look for some definite answers on Fanindir's fate. He ventured into the crypts of the ancient fortress, having his companions slowly slain off by devious traps. He decided to turn back. If he had opened the final door before him, he would have reached the Archives, which would have explained his goal and revealed he was, in fact, Fanindir with a bit of amnesia. Erelye then continued adventuring and knowledge-searching until the Converge, where I can simply describe it as all of my video game personas merging into a singular being, with Erelye the most prominent. This was around the time of DTG1. Later, due to the Minecraftian merged with him, he was pulled into GodCraft by the virus, but still managed to communicate with the outside world. By the way, this makes Erelye much older than anything in DTG or DTG2, and Fanindir immortal. Hope you enjoyed backstory no. III.

Frankly, it's a long, long backstory. Let me just give you some highlights.
Dammit, I was planning a pun, where I was just going to highlight a bunch of empty text. But I forgot highlighting no longer exists.
Yeah, I'm not giving you any highlights.
Aren't we all from another universe?
On a side note, I have given a small fraction of that version of the backstory. You have no idea how much I have debated and written on this.

My backstory...
I was made when the void has still completely inhabitable. When nothing could ever live in the void. One day, the void increasingly grew in power. So much that pure null started to crystalize near it. One person was trying to work with the void. He kept failing. So one day, he found the crystals of null near his laboratory. With them, he built a exosuit so powerful, it was able to enter the void. But he noticed that it was unsafe to voidwalk at that time. At one point, the person wore his exosuit so much, that it became him. The robotics took over. He became a robot. The person became... me. His councousness still survives in Virus, the only thing that is not gerbil and Bill Cipher that does not have a corrupted form. Eventually, due to the strong connection to the Void stronger void items appeared near Nimbleguy. Void Gems, then Glitchy Alloy, and finally a last item. It's name was Perfectly Generic Object. Using many versions of it condensed into one, as well as some Source Code of Reality editing, the Habitable Void was born in an event like the Big Bang. Nimbleguy then started Voidwalking. At one point, by reasons unknown, the Legandary Trio was born. The Alpha Glitch, The Builder, and The Creator. All four of them went back in time, as The Builder and The Creator made the universe. The Builder built it out of th[FATAL ERROR]niverse. The Creator made th[ERROR]ilder. The Alpha Glitch is a [ERROR FATAL ERROR. CANNOT CONTINUE.] Completing a stable time loop. And then I was sent back forward in time and was appointed Void Master. But for some reason, Skaianet decided that I should be a Knight of Void instead of a more fitting title due to my presence as the Void Master. During my more uneventful times, I dabbled in various different kinds of magic. But I still originated from Void, and created Void.
It seems like I errored during that. (OOC: I think I did good with this backstory.)

I would enjoy reading it, as I appear to be dead, although I shall probably return after the Intermission. (most likely bearing the signs of having played Sburb)

There's a difference between a hero and a champion. A champion overcomes threats, but a hero overcomes fears.

A-Fighting for her own existence: if she had helped us fight English, she would have most likely have been slain in the crossfire.
B-She was summoned as a PG entity, I believe, and so whether she was Fefari's ancestor or not, she remained on the PG side.
C-She was part of the fleet to bring English in in the first place.
A- Your right.
B- She was never summoned.
C- According to DTG wiki, she was hired by English.
