I started laughing when Karkat got stabbed through his chest holes and stopped once Roxy vanished Rose away because my chest started hurting. And also because Rose and her mom is a relationship that has a very emotional place for me so seeing that with Rose and Roxy really got to me and stopped my laughter in its tracks.

On to Intermission 4.
At this rate she could finish it with a few days to spare.

Dammit Trix, couldn't you have contacted her directly, separately from the askbox, as soon as you decided to do it this way? Or did she already know she was only going to page 6000 and just breezed past it until Trix remembered about it, because I seem to recall Trix saying she and Nora agreed on this? I hope she realizes how much closer she came to "doing harm" than she even realizes right now, if that makes sense. see i definately told her about it, i think she just forgot.. i let her blame me and the ask box so she could feel better.

She couldn't say anything other than "DAMN" over and over. Game over reactions never get old. Haha, I loved it. Her/their (?) reaction to Rose and Roxy, though. I honestly have no idea what their reaction to the retcon would be.

Would you believe that I laughed hysterically through that whole flash? Yes. Yes I would. To be fair, my reaction was just plain screaming "GAMZEE DIED! THAT MEANS THIS IS A DOOMED TIMELINE! THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS CANON! THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS CANON!" ...I wasn't even recording myself XD ... Anyway, damn, Rose's death really got to Rune. I hope they'll be okay soon.

I'm choosing:
Act 6 Prince of Heart: Rise Up Jane: Enter DD: Ascend Unite Synchronization Caliborn: Enter Act 6 Act 4 Jane: Engage x2 Trap Combo The Retcon 4/13/13 A6A6I1 Game Over Mental Breakdown Terezi: Remem8er
I was gonna include Roxy: Sleepwalk as well, but alas, 15 spots. One of em had to go, and that seemed like the one with the least engaging reaction.

I picked 18. Haters gonna hate.
(seriously though, she chose 10 for Act 5 and Act 6 is double the size, so it should be 20!)

Can we get someone here to pair the given page numbers in the poll with their name?

Post by morganwick on Apr 6, 2016 5:11:13 GMT
I actually did manage to find that list of flash importance in the Google cache, and it suggests Game Over and the Enters are pretty much given, but followed by A6A6I1 and Vriskagram (!) before Synchronize/Unite, and DD: Ascend more casually before Prince of Heart: Rise up. Most of those should be fairly safe (although sparkeletran's ballot suggests maybe not Vriskagram, and I said at the time I was willing to reorder anything below Jane: Enter), with A6A4 close behind, and Spring Trap x2 Combo and 4/13/13 the next tier down. That's eleven. shes8ack, MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown, and Terezi: Remem8er (and DOTA to a lesser extent) kind of depend on what her reactions have been up to that point. Those four and Roxy: Sleepwalk are probably the next tier down, with the intro flash, Jane: Get mail, the end of A6I1, and Pipeorgankind possibly bumping any of them out, and the start of A6A5 and Jane: Engage as dark horses (and Jane: Get mail realistically not getting many votes other than my own - realistically other static page stretches won't work well and might just piss Nora off, and I include the plot hole with or without the password-guessing thing). For the sake of my own ballot, I'm going to slot in Roxy: Sleepwalk, MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown, and Terezi: Remem8er. I'm also going to drop DOTA which would probably work better with the preceding pages, and put Pipeorgankind in its place. If I wanted to bump out any of those, or just add to my ballot because she says 15 isn't a strict limit, I'd probably replace it with shes8ack, the intro flash, Jane: Get mail, or the end of A6I1, and I'd probably favor Jane: Get mail just to vouch for a flash I'm not sure anyone else would vouch for. Something that occurred to me regarding Roxy: Sleepwalk is that it falls in the middle of a split path, and Nora's preference in the [o]termission has been to do an entire split path in a single post. Trix will need to let her know that won't be possible if Roxy: Sleepwalk is chosen as an audio react candidate. Also, Nora says she's still going to combine close-by flashes that are all highly rated, so any danger of skipping Synchronize/Unite for finishing behind Caliborn: Enter, or only doing the higher-finishing of MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown and Vriskagram, is probably averted, although if Mental breakdown is on the bubble as my analysis suggests, it's very possible Nora decides not to do it even if it finishes ahead of any she does do, especially if it finishes too far behind Vriskagram. I feel like the thing to do in that case would be to have Trix look at what she's written upon finishing Caliborn's Masterpiece and decide then whether she should do Mental breakdown along with Vriskagram or just continue her text post to encompass the former (namely, whether she's figured out the implications of having Arquiusprite and Gamzee inside Cal or not). In the end, my ballot looks like this (in deference to Candor's request I've listed everything on the ballot and just bolded my own selections): 6013 (Act 6 intro flash) 6182 (Jane: Get mail)6273 (Karkat: Mental breakdown) 6290 (END OF ACT 6 INTERMISSION 1) 6386 (Roxy: Sleepwalk)6441 (RAP-OFF!!!) 6472 (Prince of Heart: Rise up)6565 (Jane: Enter)
6715 (DOTA) 6842-6844 (DD: Ascend/Ascend more casually)
6927 (Terry: Fast forward to Liv) 7138-7152 (Synchronize/Unite)7158-7161 (entrances of the players leading up to Caliborn: Enter)7326-7327 (Ministrife) 7338-7339 (ACT 6 ACT 4)7371-7374 (Caliborn machine-gunning Gamzee as Elevatorstuck plays) 7412 (ACT 6 ACT 5) 7555 (Ride (right after prototyping the AR)) 7611-7614 (Jane: Engage through start of A6A5A2) 7663-7677 (Tricksters: Alchemize through Zilly Santa nightmare) 7746-7826 ()(IC: Spring trap x2 Combo; does anyone who actually listens to audio reacts agree with the starting point I suggested and that got added to the poll?)7881 (Interfishin) 7992-8010 (John sticks his arm into the plot hole) 8131-8135 (4/13/13 and following pages)8143 (ACT 6 ACT 6/Caliborn's performance) 8178 (A6A6I1)8801-8820 (GAME OVER and all of A6A6I3)8988-8998 (oil reveal and Pipeorgankind; I kinda feel like these should have been split, and certainly if she's not going to react to the arms I don't see why she should react to the oil)9305 (shes8ack) 9309-9311 (introduction to Caliborn's Masterpiece) 9348 (MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown)9349 (Vriskagram)9828 (GREAT BRO-HUG BUMP OF 2015) 9859 (Terezi: Remem8er)

Personally, I didn't vote for Vriskagram because I don't feel like it'd offer much of an interesting reaction - it's a very slow flash, and there isn't really any "HOLY SHIT" moment that makes an audio react better than a text react. It's sort of a cool different way of doing a tiny recap of what we have to know - nothing super react worthy, imo.
We could probably do without the intro flash yeah, if I may be honest... I also find Pipeorgankind (as well as the sup ones) to be pretty... standard. Not anything outstanding in either. DOTA could be funny but it's so short I feel it may not be worth it, and Shes8ack feels pretty obvious with the main reveal in it being just that Jade and Jane are asleep.
Jane: Engage is pretty short as well, but it's got enough following pages and is a big wtf moment that makes it worth it.
And... yeah I think that's about it for my choices! Most of the others I feel are pretty obvious.

Thank you, Morgan Wick. I've taken your list and added tally marks below to indicate my votes, added to yours. Maybe we can keep track of what those of us hanging around this thread are voting for, as a way to sort of predict where things are going? Anyway, most of my choices are the same as yours, but I have made a few changes. I consider Karkat: Mental breakdown to be more reactworthy than Roxy: Sleepwalk, for instance. Similarly, I don't see much being lost from Vriskagram being reacted to in text form unless we're aiming for some d'awwws regarding Karkat and Dave on the meteor, which I've gotta say makes it a harder one to leave off, even when I've gone and voted for 16 because I hope we can roll A6A6I1 (which is short, but VERY react worthy) into GAME OVER, since they're so close together had a brain fart regarding the locations of those in relation to each other and had difficulty choosing between A6A6I1 and Pipeorgankind. I also want to see her reaction to the dang literal plothole. 6013 (Act 6 intro flash) | 6182 (Jane: Get mail) || 6273 (Karkat: Mental breakdown) | 6290 (END OF ACT 6 INTERMISSION 1) 6386 (Roxy: Sleepwalk) | 6441 (RAP-OFF!!!) 6472 (Prince of Heart: Rise up) ||| 6565 (Jane: Enter) ||| 6715 (DOTA) 6842-6844 (DD: Ascend/Ascend more casually) ||| 6927 (Terry: Fast forward to Liv) 7138-7152 (Synchronize/Unite) ||| 7158-7161 (entrances of the players leading up to Caliborn: Enter) ||| 7326-7327 (Ministrife) 7338-7339 (ACT 6 ACT 4) ||| 7371-7374 (Caliborn machine-gunning Gamzee as Elevatorstuck plays) 7412 (ACT 6 ACT 5) 7555 (Ride (right after prototyping the AR)) 7611-7614 (Jane: Engage through start of A6A5A2) | 7663-7677 (Tricksters: Alchemize through Zilly Santa nightmare) 7746-7826 ()(IC: Spring trap x2 Combo; does anyone who actually listens to audio reacts agree with the starting point I suggested and that got added to the poll?) ||| 7881 (Interfishin) 7992-8010 (John sticks his arm into the plot hole) || 8131-8135 (4/13/13 and following pages) ||| 8143 (ACT 6 ACT 6/Caliborn's performance) 8178 (A6A6I1) ||| 8801-8820 (GAME OVER and all of A6A6I3) ||| 8988-8998 (oil reveal and Pipeorgankind; I kinda feel like these should have been split, and certainly if she's not going to react to the arms I don't see why she should react to the oil) || 9305 (shes8ack) 9309-9311 (introduction to Caliborn's Masterpiece) 9348 (MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown) ||| 9349 (Vriskagram) | 9828 (GREAT BRO-HUG BUMP OF 2015) 9859 (Terezi: Remem8er) |||

...wait, A6A6I1 being close to Game Over??
That's the Gold Pilot flash, the one with the cool slidey panels and Jade getting B2 Earth
it's most definitely NOT close to game over. they're separated by two actactacts+intermissions, in fact :0
Also I already said all of mine up there, sooo.... You can add those clean 15 votes to the tally! Not copying it partially because I'm lazy, partially not to clutter the thread too much. double feature, really

Why are we making our own tally here again? I'm pretty sure Nora's poll can do its own counting.

I really like his liveblog, largely because he freely recognizes and talks about the flaws in the comic but still appreciates it.

We definitely don't need to keep a tally on people's votes just in this thread, since there are probably way more people voting on the poll who don't partake in this thread. Did Jack put his former trophies into chests? What, is there going to be a twist that says he’s a quarter troll or something? Um... not Jack, exactly... is that ask telling him "the curtains are a metaphor for the acts" kosher, even though he didn't realize what it would mean for Act 6? When I saved this screenshot it had “retcon” in the name – was something else here originally? *WONK* This is, like, the very next line. So I guess these dudes are exiles, which basically proves that Roxy must be not only in the future, but so far along the timeline that it’s after the point when these exiles got dumped here by the game. Which basically confirms that the game does in fact get played (no surprise there), but raises all sorts of questions about how the hell Roxy managed to get to that point in the timeline, because she’d have to live through the meteor storm. Also how the hell could she even join the game at this point when the meteors have already landed? You're making a few unwarranted assumptions there... She already did, numbskull! I like all your names, but what’s Caves and Silence? Have I seen that yet? It’s not in my notes… Oh, Dagrun says it was like two or three hundred pages ago. I think that was before I started keeping track of the lands. I’ll add that real quick. Is there something about LOCAS that makes livebloggers fail to notice it? I suppose it is the most silent of the lands... Oh, who’s that in the window, I say as if I can’t tell it’s Jane’s Dad. Let’s look forward to the cheerful reunion and he dies, doesn’t he. Actually, neither.

While I still strive to respect other's opinions, I die a little insides every time I see people recommend audio reactions to things like Gamzee Vendor, She's 8ack or minor amusements like Caliborn shooting Gamzee or anything relating to Caliborn in general outside of Enter, Lord English Flashes or his Masterpiece.
