So uh... It looks like we're migrating to github pages
My old laptop has various problems with TLS certificates that prevent it from connecting, and the surge token it had doesn't work on my current one. Ideally I'd want to replace it with a redirect, but I can't even access it, so we're just going to have to switch to github pages
Hmm, I believe I may have made a slight mistake in P4C6
I believe I added an extra diamond into circulation somewhere
There should only be three diamonds, originally belonging to Hyper, WW, and Jo King. Jo King keeps their diamond throughout the comic, Hyper's is the one mathcat has that gets sucked into the corruptible crystal and given to Steggan, and WW's is taken by caird, who presumably gives it to Hyper for the final battle
But three people are visible with diamonds in the final celebration, prior to when the hivemind is given their diamond
So either someone has donned a diamond temporarily for the celebration then put it back in its container, or I accidentally gave both caird and hyper the same diamond (and it's probably the latter since I think I intended caird to end up with the extra diamond before I had the idea of giving it to Steggan after reading the community chapter)
Actually I guess nothing rules out the former, so I'll just say caird put the diamond on for a bit
Although another problem is I show two diamond users going into the bunker, when the other diamond, Jo King, is on the roof helping DLosc man the machine gun
I guess I could just say Jo King helped them go down to the bunker then went back up in time for the fight, that would make sense anyway since Jo King couldn't be in the bunker after the crystal was in place or it would take Jo King's mod powers instead
Maybe you got advance warning from hyper, and hid your diamond away, since you knew mathcat was going to be going after anyone still in possession of a diamond
I'm not sure where the mod powers in the cracked crystal went, lemme reread C5
Okay wait so it looks like when Seggan and Steffan touch, a segfault occurs, and they're merged into a hivemind. Both of their mod powers disappear, and the empty corrupt crystal is left behind
And Dennis is left diamond-less
I forget the lore reason for the segfault, lemme read the planning room for the community chapter
tbh I think it would be easier to declare the Nether to be some kind of shadow realm (that happens to be nicknamed the Nether) than it would be to include the entirety of Minecraft in the world :p

: Ginger and lyxal have so far
@Seggan Yeah, in my headcanon (and what's strongly implied by P4C5+P4C6) the corrupted crystal is what's binding y'all into a hivemind, and it has the same corrupting influence that Nitro had on mathcat
Making y'all natural allies
@Ginger It's a weird merger of the real world and Stack Exchange, where places in SE's digital world are superimposed onto the globe
FWIW I don't see it as a simulation like Seggan said, I see it more as the places in SE being real places
@Seggan This is what I lean towards :p
@Ginger Ooh ooh can you do a thing where you can put sassy quotes up at the top of the article?
Sorta like this:
I kinda want to make a prequel, maybe taking place around the time of mathcat's first rise to power, that's in novel form and describes in detail some of the settings
Since my idea for, e.g., TNB, is really cool but hard to convey in the timeline and format of the comic
@Ginger Could we use a diamond that's a little more...chrome canvasy?
Maybe one taken from a panel of the comic
The varying line thickness is a distinct part of the visual style
You "fixed" that part of it but then didn't fix the skewedness of the diamond :p
@Seggan The Spymaster is supposed to be the same as hat guy, right?
Oh, it seems the hatless steggan actually is referred to as the spymaster. I guess you could argue tho, that mathcat sees the two as a single identity, so maybe the hivemind is the spymaster :p
@Seggan I don't read it that way
While ginger did have possession of the corrupted crystal, it was never repaired
I'm just not sure if we should have "the Spymaster" as an article on the wiki, or if it should be written more like "It begins with [[Seggan]] (referred to as 'the Spymaster')..."
I know we'll need an article for Seggan, Steffan, and the hivemind, I'm not as sure for Hat Guy and Spymaster
Since those are just alter-egos of Seggan and Steffan
It's a bit time consuming to document a character's entire history and role in the plot so I'll get around to doing so gradually for all 30 major characters
