So like... Who exactly were the chess people, and what was their role in the comic? IDK why, but they confuse me to no end

The Dersites(Black) and Prospitans(White) were in a war. The Dersites wanted to destroy Skaia and the Battlefield so that the players couldn’t create a new universe while the Prospitans were trying to defend it.

The Black King will always triumph over the White King. The players have to stop him before he accomplishes his goal or else they can’t win. 

They also help to spread the lore of their players and look after dreamselves until they awake

what was aranea's actual plan regarding the pre retcon timeline? and what was the condesce's plan?

Anonymous

The Condesce was going to have the kids make the new Universe so that she could restart the troll empire in it

Aranea was going to stop the kids from making a new Universe so that Lord English wouldn’t come into existence.

What about Karkat's sylladex?

raphfish

Karkat had the encryption modus but switched with Sollux’s un-shown modus

While we're on the topic of Heroic/Just death, what was up with the "Lucky Br8k" thing that happened? I don't remember the specifics.

Anonymous

It’s implied that Aranea messed with the results somehow so that’d end up Just. The Lucky 8r8k being that she wouldn’t have to deal with Jade anymore 

Does Joey's inventory count as a sylladex? Is it ever referred to as such?

Anonymous

It does not count as a sylladex. I feel like a sylladex is referenced in a joke early on in the game.

How do yall know so much and have links for everything? It's so impressive. You keep notes?

Nah, I just look it up each time.

During Openbound, when Meenah went around talking to her session's teammates, did we ever find out if any of them had god tiered? Besides Meenah, I think. And I mean just Openbound, not any of the alt timeline dead trolls that appeared in Ministrife, because I think some of them were god tiered.

Meenah and Aranea are the only ones from their timeline to have been confirmed God Tier

What happened to seahorse-dad?

he died

Have we seen Jane's handwriting or just Nanna's because we seem to have every human's canon handwriting except Jane's... I think

We have not seen Jane’s handwriting, but it’s likely very similar to Nanna’s

are there any restrictions on Jake's sylladex? if it could store an item as large as his house without too much issue, it seems like it'd be the best option in every scenario

It does have a limit and you have to make everything fit together like puzzle pieces (it is the puzzle modus after all) so if you cant make something fit it’ll just fall out
