9. #9SBURBselective

   Keys: SBURB, SGRUB, The Game, Game

   SBURB is a sandbox-style game that takes place in the real world. It is normally composed of a pair of Client Player and Server Player. A client needs a server to be ran, and a server player cannot connect to his own server, as such the smallest possible session has two players, both running the client and the server version of the game. Each client requires one server player, and the server player has to be a client as well. This can be daisy-chained to allow more than two players into the same session. Without it, all sessions are separate.

   It is similar to the Sims. The server player can manipulate the client's surroundings. The goal of the server player is to get the client player into the dimension the game creates by deploying the Cruxtruder, Punch Designix, Totem Lathe and Alchemiter, which allows the player to create a Cruxite Artefact with which to enter the dimension the game makes, the Medium.

   The Server player can alter the house of the client and place down objects that require build grist to be placed down.

   The Alchemy system requires multiple types of grist, an in-game resource dropped by underlings and by beating quests.

   After entering the Medium, the game has a large amount of objectives and goals, culminating in the creation of the Genesis Frog and the generation of a new Universe, which the players then enter after collecting the Ultimate Reward.

   Before entering the game, SBURB launches a number of meteors at the house of every player, which either land and kill the player before entering the game, or are avoided by entering the game.

   Upon entering the Medium, the game generates a Land specific to each player, which their house is transported to.

   SBURB is an atemporal game, that knows how many player will be in a session before they actually enter it, by existing outside of time.

   The game itself always appears in a universe made by the game, no matter what.

   A SBURB session always contains certain elements: The moons of Prospit and Derse, Skaia, the White King and Queen of Prospit, the Black King and Queen of Derse, Meteor Laboratories, the Lands of the players, Jack Noir, the Rings of Life and Void, the Forge, the Frog Temples, the Veil, the Denizens, the Reckoning and finally, the Underlings.

10. #10Cruxtruderselective

    Keys: Cruxtruder

    The Cruxtruder is a machine deployed from the Phrenalia Registry by server players in a SBURB session into a client's house.

    They deploy cruxite dowels and release the Kernelsprite. Opening the cruxtruder for the first time, before entering The Medium, starts a countdown sequence that specifies how much time is left before the client has to enter the game, lest the house be destroyed and the player killed, usually by a falling meteor. The countdown is displayed on a screen on the actual cruxtruder.

    The cruxtruder is very large, and shaped like a smaller rectangle stacked on top of a larger one, with a cylindrical tube rising from it, on the side of which is a valve which opens its top and releases the cruxite dowel. It also has four different screens that display the countdown, once it starts.

11. #11Cruxite Dowelselective

    Keys: Cruxile Dowel, Dowel

    A cruxite dowel is a long cylinder extracted from the cruxtruder. It is used together with the Alchemiter to create special objects, and can be carved by a Totem Lathe to change what is created. A carved cruxite dowel using the pre-punched punch card provided by the game from the Phrenalia Registry creates the cruxite artefact, which is used to teleport the player and the house into the Medium.

12. #12Cruxite Artifactselective

    Keys: Cruxite artifact, artifact

    Cruxite artifacts are created by lathing a cruxite dowel with the pre-punched card provided by the phrenalia registry. They are used to enter the game. They usually are dropped by a larger item that disappears after dropping it, such as an cruxite apple tree dropping a cruxite apple artifact and then disappearing.

    The artifact must be used to teleport the player and the house into the Medium, and they are almost always symbols of departure, such as an Apple symbolizing the Fall of Man, or a bottle symbolizing a ship leaving port.

13. #13Punch Designixselective

    Keys: Punch Designix, Designix

    The punch designix is a machine deployed from the Phrenalia Registry. It is used together with Punch Cards and a Cruxite Dowel to alchemize items in the Alchemiter.

    It appears similar to a workstation with a keyboard and a slot for a captchalogue card. It can be used to punch holes in the captchalogue card, that when used together with the alchemiter can change what the Cruxite dowel gets made into. The machine requires a code to punch a card, and each object in the world has a specific code that can be read and inputted into the machine, to then punch a card with that. The codes are eight characters long, and accept every single possible key, from the alphabet, to numbers, to punctuation to other symbols such as ™

    The Punch Designix is can be used to punch multiple cards together to mix their effects.

14. #14Totem Latheselective

    Keys: Totem Lathe, Lathe

    The totem lathe is a machine that can be deployed by the server player from the Phrenalia Registry. It is used to carve cruxite dowels within certain patterns as dictated by punched cards. Together with the alchemiter, it allows the player to alchemize objects, creating them using Grist.

    This object is needed for the creation of a cruxite artifact that allows a player to enter the Medium

    The totem lathe looks like a regular lathe.

15. #15Gristselective

    Keys: Grist

    Grist is the generic name of a standardized range of resources used by players in Sburb and dropped by underlings, through beating quests and by recycling objects.

    Grist is used to alchemize objects with the Alchemiter, and by the server player to manipulate the client's surroundings.

    There are many types of grist, and the more powerful an enemy is, the more grist is dropped, and of more types.

    The most basic type is Build Grist, which takes the form of a elongated hexagonal bipyramid, and it is light blue. It is specifically similar to blue raspberry gushers, but it cannot be eaten.

    There are thirty six different types of grist, including amber, amethyst, caulk, diamond, garnet, gold, and so on. Grist specifically is a physical representation of platonic ideals which an item is composed from, and such the more complex an item is, the more grist it will cost to make and give when recycled.

    Grist looks different by type, alternating from a pyramid, to a jewel, to a drop, to a cube.

    Artifact Grist is a specific kind of grist that is created by alchemising Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff related items. All items that have it cost a negative amount of grist, thus giving you more grist by making them.

16. #16Alchemiterselective

    Keys: Alchemiter, alchemy machine

    The Alchemiter is a machine that can be used together with a cruxite dowel to create a new object through alchemy. An unaltered cruxite dowel leads to the creation of a Perfectly Generic Object, a green cube with rounded corners. Depending on what the cruxite dowel was lathed with in the totem lathe, the alchemiter will create different objects. By combining the patterns of two punched cards together, the Alchemiter can create objects that share attributes, whether visual or functional.

    Depending on how a card was punched in the punch designix, it can either have the symbolic appearance of one and the function of another, or have a mixed appearance and function. By using a card combined with the OR, ||, operation, it creates an object with the functionality of the first and the look of the second, such as mixing a hammer with a pogo resulting in the Hammerhead Pogo Ride, which is a pogo in the shape of a hammer.

    By using a card combined with the AND, &&, operation, the resulting object has a shared function and appearance of both objects, such mixing a phone and a pair of sunglasses reading to a pair of iShades, which are sunglasses that work like a phone. This functionality is incredibly extensive, and can break the laws of physics. The method of mixing items is very abstract.

    Unless upgraded, there is no way to know what you will get by creating a combined card item until you actually make it. The Alchemiter lacks a screen.

    A combined item has a fitting name given to it automatically, either referencing the objects it was made from, being a pun or being a reference to an existing thing.

    The alchemiter looks like a rectangular machine with one large pad on which the items are created, a smaller one to store the lathed cruxite dowel and a robotic arm that scans the dowel then creates the item. The alchemiter's pad is engraved with a fractal pattern similar to a transportalizer's and an appearifier's.

17. #17Sylladexselective

    Keys: sylladex, inventory system, captchalogue, deck

    The sylladex is an inventory system that is used by people. It is diagetic, and allows a person to carry an object in an abstract space using a captchalogue card in their captchalogue dex. The captchalogue dex is where objects are stored while in the cards, and they have no physical space and weight. Captchalogue decks have a limit of how many objects can be stored based on the amount of captchalogue cards a person has in their deck.

    Most people in the world use a sylladex as their inventory system due to its convenience..

    The sylladex exists independent of SBURB.

    The storing of objects in the Sylladex depends on the currently active fetch modus, which specifies how cards are stored and accessed, such as the Sylladex Stack Fetch Modus, which functions like a computer stack, only allowing one to pick up the oldest inserted card in the deck. Most fetch moduses are based on computer algorithms, such as the hash map modus and the Tree modus. Fetch moduses have no limit to how abstract their function is.

    Living things can be captchalogued.

18. #18Captchalogue cardselective

    Keys: captchalogue card, card

    A captchalogue card is the object in which items are stored in the sylladex inventory system. It is a real object that can be held, and its shape and size does not change based on what is inside it, though it gains an image of what is inside on the front. The cards are used together with the punch designix to create the punched cards, which are used for Alchemy.

    Captchalogue cards have an eight character code on their back that is used in the punch designix.

    Everyone that uses a sylladex has captchalogue cards, and they are not created by SBURB itself.

19. #19Alchemyselective

    Keys: Alchemy, alchemize, alchemizing

    Alchemy is the process of using grist together with an alchemiter and a cruxite dowel to create new objects. This requires the punching of a captchalogue card, the use of the punched card together with a totem lathe and a cruxite dowel to created a lathed cruxite dowel, which is then put inside the alchemiter and fed grist, leading to the creation of a new item. By punching a card multiple times with different objects it is possible to alter what is created, leading to the creation of mixed objects such as a Green Slime Suit by mixing a normal suit and a Slimer shirt using the || option, or a Pogo Hammer, but mixing a claw hammer with a pogo using the && option.

    Alchemy consumes grist. Without grist, the item cannot be created by the Alchemiter. The cost of an item depends on its complexity.

20. #20Sweet Bro and Hella Jeffselective

    Keys: Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, sbahj, Sweet Bro, Hella Jeff

    Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is a webcomic made by Dave Strider. It is purposefully low quality, filled with jpeg artefacts, random lines, incredibly bad spelling and very off-beat humour. It is 'ironically' bad.

    If anything relating to Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is used for alchemy, it will corrupt the item and turn it into something vaguely impossible, such as a two dimensional object with jpeg artifacts, or a floating skateboard with a very low resolution, or a blurry statue of Liberty. It will also cause everything to cost negative grist, and give out 'artifact' grist. The title of the object will be incredibly misspelled and near incomprehensible.

    A specific example of an item is the Unreal Air, which is the combination of a SBAHJ poster and a Skateboard. It is a skateboard, with jpeg artifacts, permanently tilted at a 45 degree angle and slightly floating upwards more and more.

21. #21Incipisphereselective

    Keys: incipisphere, bubble

    The Incipisphere is the dimension that SBURB transports its players to. It is a bubble in the Furthest Ring. Nothing exists outside of it. The Kingdoms of Derse and Prospit, and all the lands of the players exist there. There are no stars in the incipisphere, and the only light is given off by Skaia, at the center of which lies the Battlefield.

    The Incipisphere is composed of the Medium, the Dark and Light kingdoms, the Veil, Skaia and technically the Furthest Ring.

23. #23Derse, Dersiteselective

    Keys: Derse, purple moon, Kingdom of Darkness

    Derse is one of the two kingdoms in the incipisphere. It is also known as the Kingdom of Darkness. Derse is a violet moon that orbits Skaia from far away. It has another moon orbiting it, chained to it with a gigantic purple chain. Derse is completely covered by a single gigantic city with gothic and art deco buildings. Derse is inhabited by black carapacians. Derse does not have an actual sky. Looking up, and away from Skaia, only the pure darkness of the Medium. Derse is wholly unknown to everyone that hasn't already played SBURB, or hasn't had their dreamself awaken before that. Derse has a spire for each derse dreamer, a player whose dreamself resided on derse. As the players prototype their sprites prior to entering the medium, the prototypings are applied to the monarchy of Derse. This impacts how they look, and this also causes the black carapacians of Derse to start dressing similar to the prototyping. Without a prototyping, the Dersites dress like stereotypical mobsters. Derse is at war with Prospit, and the war takes place on the Battlefield. There are no actual fights on the Moons, instead only subterfuge is used. Derse has a tower for each of the Derse dreamers, where their dreamselves reside and sleep. The towers are straight, made of purple bricks and have a bulbous end with a copy of the player's bedroom in it in purple. Derse is ruled by the Black King and Queen. Derse has a number of agents, and an archagent. The archagent is the highest rank after the queen and king. The Dersite archagent is called Jack Noir.

26. #26Carapacianselective

    Keys: Carapacian, white carapacian, black carapacian

    Carapacians are the native species of Derse and Prospit. They are present in every single game of Sburb. They are modeled after chess pieces, as the Battlefield has a chess appearance. Carapacians look like generic beings, and are very symbolically depicted. They are covered in a shell, which is both rigid and supple, thus allowing them to move. The shell is jointed in parts, such as the fist. The appear similar to a featureless chess piece, though they have a hard to see mouth and tiny black eyes. They also have an internal skeleton, similar to a human's, and bleed red blood. Carapacian shells' are perfectly smooth. Both white and black carapacians are normal sapient beings, without any inherent evilness or aggression. They are quite passive by default. There are two general types of carapacians. White and Black. The white carapacians are from Prospit, and the black carapacians are from Derse. They have no other differences between shell colour. Carapacians are separated vaguely into castes. The taller a carapacian is, the more powerful and important he is. Smaller carapacians have blunter teeth, similar to a herbivore, while the more important and more dangerous carapacians have sharper teeth, and are more predator-like in nature. The average carapacian is around five feet and a half. The tallest can reach seven or eight feet. Carapacians appear into existence spontaneously when the game gets formed, then get cloned in Ectobiology Labs hidden in the Veil. The cloned carapacians have barcodes on their wrists. The more prototypings happen, the more information is available to the ectobiology labs which incorporates new and monstrous elements. Carapacians usually wear suits and stylish hats. All carapacian names are combinations of two words, usually related to their job, such as Adored Sovereign, Wayward Vagabond, Peregrine Mendicant or Jack Noir. Carapacians do not speak with dialogue, instead talking using a third person narration of what they would say. Instead of saying "I am Wayward Vagabond", they would narrate the fact that their name is Wayward Vagabond, as such 'The carapacian explains that his name is Wayward Vagabond, and he goes to shake your hand.' They never use actual dialogue. Due to the existence of the dreamselves, all the carapacians know what the players look like before actually meeting their awake selves.

32. #32Battlefieldselective

    Keys: Battlefield

    The Battlefield is a giant chessboard patterned planet located in the center of Skaia. It is the location where the fight between the Prospitian and Dersite armies take place, and it is where the Black King eventually initiates the Reckoning unless stopped by the players. The Battlefield changes shape, and becomes more complex the more times the players prototype their sprites. At the center of the battlefield, the Genesis Frog is placed to occupy the center of Skaia, thus winning the game and creating a new Universe. Before the first prototyping, it is a three by three chessboard, and only the White King and Black king exist, leaving it as an eternal stalemate. After a first prototyping, it is a full chess board. After a second one, it is a cube with forty eight squares to an edge and a few landmarks like trees and lakes. After the third prototyping, it becomes a real full planet, and after the fourth one, it gains a Mobius net orbiting its atmosphere.

33. #33The Veilselective

    Keys: Veil, The Veil

    The Veil is a large ring of asteroids in the incipisphere that forms the outer boundary of the medium. Most of the meteors contain buildings like labs, factories and genetic engineering facilities, that Derse and Prospit use They are considered a neutral ground between the two Kingdoms, and as such no fighting takes place within them.

34. #34The Reckoningselective

    Keys: Reckoning, The Reckoning

    The Reckoning is an event that lasts around twenty four hours, and launches all of the meteors from The Veil onto Skaia and the Battlefield. This event will destroy Skaia and lose the game for the players if not stopped. Skaia uses teleportation portals to transport the meteors to a different place in time and space, specifically above the original planet of the players, before they entered the game. The Reckoning begins when the Black King defeats the White King and captures his Scepter. It is then used to initiate the Reckoning, starting with the smallest meteors. If the Black King is not defeated within 24 hours, Skaia is destroyed and the session is rendered unwinnable.

35. #35Skaiaselective

    Keys: Skaia

    Skaia is a body in the center of the incipisphere, surrounding the battlefield inside. It has a blue surface with scattered white clouds, and serves the same role as a star, illuminating the incipisphere. it serves the role of the sky as well. It is important in a session of SBURB, as without it the Genesis Frog has no home to create the new Universe and win the game. Skaia can create defensive portals to prevent the meteors of the Reckoning from destroying it for the 24 hours. Skaia is tentatively sapient, but almost never acts, and it cannot speak. Looking up at Skaia from Derse or Prospit allows a player to look into its clouds, which sometimes shows glimpses of the future.

36. #36Problem Sleuthselective

    Keys: Problem Sleuth, PS, Sleuth

    Problem Sleuth is a white carapacian, and the archagent of Prospit. He is a hardboiled detective, and has a penchant for monologuing in an old 30's noir style. He is a bit dumb and impulsive, but generally a good person. He is quite strong, and skilled in combat, but isn't very intelligent or capable. He uses a Tommy Gun as his main weapon, which due to object/weapon duality turns into a ring of keys. He has quite a derpy look on his face, with his eyes a bit too far apart, and his mouth slightly open at all times. Problem Sleuth usually wears a white trench coat, and a white hat. His primary stat is pulchritude, and he likes candy corn and busts. Like all carapacians, he does not directly speak. Problem Sleuth is the rival of Jack Noir.

37. #37Cruxtruderselective

    Keys: Cruxtruder

    The Cruxtruder is a machine deployed from the Phrenalia Registry by server players in a SBURB session into a client's house.

    They deploy cruxite dowels and release the Kernelsprite. Opening the cruxtruder for the first time, before entering The Medium, starts a countdown sequence that specifies how much time is left before the client has to enter the game, lest the house be destroyed and the player killed, usually by a falling meteor. The countdown is displayed on a screen on the actual cruxtruder.

    The cruxtruder is very large, and shaped like a smaller rectangle stacked on top of a larger one, with a cylindrical tube rising from it, on the side of which is a valve which opens its top and releases the cruxite dowel. It also has four different screens that display the countdown, once it starts.

38. #38Cruxite Dowelselective

    Keys: Dowel, Cruxile Dowel

    A cruxite dowel is a long cylinder extracted from the cruxtruder. It is used together with the Alchemiter to create special objects, and can be carved by a Totem Lathe to change what is created. A carved cruxite dowel using the pre-punched punch card provided by the game from the Phrenalia Registry creates the cruxite artefact, which is used to teleport the player and the house into the Medium.

39. #39Cruxite artifactselective

    Keys: Cruxite artifact, artifact

    Cruxite artifacts are created by lathing a cruxite dowel with the pre-punched card provided by the phrenalia registry. They are used to enter the game. They usually are dropped by a larger item that disappears after dropping it, such as an cruxite apple tree dropping a cruxite apple artifact and then disappearing.

    The artifact must be used to teleport the player and the house into the Medium, and they are almost always symbols of departure, such as an Apple symbolizing the Fall of Man, or a bottle symbolizing a ship leaving port.

40. #40Punch Designixselective

    Keys: Designix, Punch Designix

    The punch designix is a machine deployed from the Phrenalia Registry. It is used together with Punch Cards and a Cruxite Dowel to alchemize items in the Alchemiter.

    It appears similar to a workstation with a keyboard and a slot for a captchalogue card. It can be used to punch holes in the captchalogue card, that when used together with the alchemiter can change what the Cruxite dowel gets made into. The machine requires a code to punch a card, and each object in the world has a specific code that can be read and inputted into the machine, to then punch a card with that. The codes are eight characters long, and accept every single possible key, from the alphabet, to numbers, to punctuation to other symbols such as ™

    The Punch Designix is can be used to punch multiple cards together to mix their effects.

41. #41Totem Latheselective

    Keys: Lathe, Totem Lathe

    The totem lathe is a machine that can be deployed by the server player from the Phrenalia Registry. It is used to carve cruxite dowels within certain patterns as dictated by punched cards. Together with the alchemiter, it allows the player to alchemize objects, creating them using Grist.

    This object is needed for the creation of a cruxite artifact that allows a player to enter the Medium

    The totem lathe looks like a regular lathe.

42. #42Gristselective

    Keys: Grist

    Grist is the generic name of a standardized range of resources used by players in Sburb and dropped by underlings, through beating quests and by recycling objects.

    Grist is used to alchemize objects with the Alchemiter, and by the server player to manipulate the client's surroundings.

    There are many types of grist, and the more powerful an enemy is, the more grist is dropped, and of more types.

    The most basic type is Build Grist, which takes the form of a elongated hexagonal bipyramid, and it is light blue. It is specifically similar to blue raspberry gushers, but it cannot be eaten.

    There are thirty six different types of grist, including amber, amethyst, caulk, diamond, garnet, gold, and so on. Grist specifically is a physical representation of platonic ideals which an item is composed from, and such the more complex an item is, the more grist it will cost to make and give when recycled.

    Grist looks different by type, alternating from a pyramid, to a jewel, to a drop, to a cube.

    Artifact Grist is a specific kind of grist that is created by alchemising Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff related items. All items that have it cost a negative amount of grist, thus giving you more grist by making them.

43. #43Alchemiterselective

    Keys: Alchemiter, alchemy machine

    The Alchemiter is a machine that can be used together with a cruxite dowel to create a new object through alchemy. An unaltered cruxite dowel leads to the creation of a Perfectly Generic Object, a green cube with rounded corners. Depending on what the cruxite dowel was lathed with in the totem lathe, the alchemiter will create different objects. By combining the patterns of two punched cards together, the Alchemiter can create objects that share attributes, whether visual or functional.

    Depending on how a card was punched in the punch designix, it can either have the symbolic appearance of one and the function of another, or have a mixed appearance and function. By using a card combined with the OR, ||, operation, it creates an object with the functionality of the first and the look of the second, such as mixing a hammer with a pogo resulting in the Hammerhead Pogo Ride, which is a pogo in the shape of a hammer.

    By using a card combined with the AND, &&, operation, the resulting object has a shared function and appearance of both objects, such mixing a phone and a pair of sunglasses reading to a pair of iShades, which are sunglasses that work like a phone. This functionality is incredibly extensive, and can break the laws of physics. The method of mixing items is very abstract.

    Unless upgraded, there is no way to know what you will get by creating a combined card item until you actually make it. The Alchemiter lacks a screen.

    A combined item has a fitting name given to it automatically, either referencing the objects it was made from, being a pun or being a reference to an existing thing.

    The alchemiter looks like a rectangular machine with one large pad on which the items are created, a smaller one to store the lathed cruxite dowel and a robotic arm that scans the dowel then creates the item. The alchemiter's pad is engraved with a fractal pattern similar to a transportalizer's and an appearifier's.

44. #44Sylladexselective

    Keys: captchalogue, sylladex, deck, inventory system

    The sylladex is an inventory system that is used by people. It is diagetic, and allows a person to carry an object in an abstract space using a captchalogue card in their captchalogue dex. The captchalogue dex is where objects are stored while in the cards, and they have no physical space and weight. Captchalogue decks have a limit of how many objects can be stored based on the amount of captchalogue cards a person has in their deck.

    Most people in the world use a sylladex as their inventory system due to its convenience..

    The sylladex exists independent of SBURB.

    The storing of objects in the Sylladex depends on the currently active fetch modus, which specifies how cards are stored and accessed, such as the Sylladex Stack Fetch Modus, which functions like a computer stack, only allowing one to pick up the oldest inserted card in the deck. Most fetch moduses are based on computer algorithms, such as the hash map modus and the Tree modus. Fetch moduses have no limit to how abstract their function is.

    Living things can be captchalogued.

45. #45Captchalogue cardselective

    Keys: card, captchalogue card

    A captchalogue card is the object in which items are stored in the sylladex inventory system. It is a real object that can be held, and its shape and size does not change based on what is inside it, though it gains an image of what is inside on the front. The cards are used together with the punch designix to create the punched cards, which are used for Alchemy.

    Captchalogue cards have an eight character code on their back that is used in the punch designix.

    Everyone that uses a sylladex has captchalogue cards, and they are not created by SBURB itself.

46. #46Alchemyselective

    Keys: Alchemy, alchemize, alchemizing

    Alchemy is the process of using grist together with an alchemiter and a cruxite dowel to create new objects. This requires the punching of a captchalogue card, the use of the punched card together with a totem lathe and a cruxite dowel to created a lathed cruxite dowel, which is then put inside the alchemiter and fed grist, leading to the creation of a new item. By punching a card multiple times with different objects it is possible to alter what is created, leading to the creation of mixed objects such as a Green Slime Suit by mixing a normal suit and a Slimer shirt using the || option, or a Pogo Hammer, but mixing a claw hammer with a pogo using the && option.

    Alchemy consumes grist. Without grist, the item cannot be created by the Alchemiter. The cost of an item depends on its complexity.

47. #47Sweet Bro and Hella Jeffselective

    Keys: sbahj, Hella Jeff, Sweet Bro, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff

    Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is a webcomic made by Dave Strider. It is purposefully low quality, filled with jpeg artefacts, random lines, incredibly bad spelling and very off-beat humour. It is 'ironically' bad.

    If anything relating to Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is used for alchemy, it will corrupt the item and turn it into something vaguely impossible, such as a two dimensional object with jpeg artifacts, or a floating skateboard with a very low resolution, or a blurry statue of Liberty. It will also cause everything to cost negative grist, and give out 'artifact' grist. The title of the object will be incredibly misspelled and near incomprehensible.

    A specific example of an item is the Unreal Air, which is the combination of a SBAHJ poster and a Skateboard. It is a skateboard, with jpeg artifacts, permanently tilted at a 45 degree angle and slightly floating upwards more and more.

48. #48Godtierselective

    Keys: godtiered, godtiering, God tier, godtier, god-tier, dogtier

    A god tier is the highest possible power level achievable by a player in SBURB, and also the peak of power for a player. The god tier unlocks all of the powers of a player's classpect, grants them flight, and grants them conditional immortality. A player godtiers by having their body placed on either a Quest Bed, if their dreamself is alive, or on a Sacrificial Slab if the dreamself is dead. This either means the player has to commit suicide, or has to get their dead body placed on it by someone else. Upon godtiering with a Quest Bed, the player will be teleported to the Battlefield on a corresponding Quest Bed, and they will be revived and godtiered. Upon godtiering on a Sacrificial slab, the player will just revive and be godtiered on the slab itself. If the Battlefield never evolved enough to create dreambeds, or got destroyed, then the first method never works. Sacrificial Slabs are found on either Derse or Prospit, in the crypts. All methods to godtier are aspect dependent. A time player cannot be revived by a Breath Sacrificial Slab. Upon godtiering, a player is dressed in a uniform of their class coloured with the colours of their aspect. This uniform is self-cleaning.

    The godtier's conditional immortality hinges upon a death being Just or Heroic. The Game itself decides the moral implications of a death. A Just death implies that the player 'deserved' it, such as a murderer godtier being killed by their victim, or a player being killed in the progress of ruining a session. A heroic death implies the player died saving another, whether it be another player, a group of consorts or existence itself. If a death is Heroic or Just, the godtier player stays dead, otherwise, they get revived a while later, all wound healed.

49. #49Landsselective

    Keys: Land, Lands, Land of

    The Lands are the generated planets assigned to each player once they get into the game. Each planet or land is assigned to a specific hero and has its traits associated with them. They contain their quest beds, dungeons, consorts and their towns, the Denizen Lairs.

    Each land has traits associated with the mythological role and personality of the player it was assigned to. As such, the planets can be filled with ruins, or cities, or mountains, or be oceanic, or have lava oceans. The traits are numerous and incredibly distinct.

    All lands have simple names in the format of the Land of X and Y, such as the Land of Fog and Smoke or the Land of Light and Rain. The Land always has two descriptors, and the descriptors have to be names of objects or concepts, such as the Land of Fire and Ice or the Land of Growth and Death. The names are related to the player assigned in some way, such as the Land of Wind and Shade being assigned to the Heir of Breath. Sometimes, the lands' names are turned into acronyms, such as the Land of Fog and Smoke becoming LOFAS or the Land of Colours and Mayhem becoming LOCAM.

    Upon entering the game, the player's home is teleported onto the land and a series of gates that link to different lands in the session are placed above the home.

    Each land has a quest that must be finished to restore it to its proper form. This quest is tied to the characteristics of the player and their aspect, such as a breath player's land being covered in oil, which must be cleared by playing a grand pipe organ in the middle of the Land. These quests are issued by the Denizens.

    There are never more lands than players.

50. #50Consortsselective

    Keys: salamander, consort, Consorts

    Consorts are amphibious or reptilian creatures that live on each of the planets or lands in the Medium. They are quite stupid, but have an innate knowledge of Alchemy, and have a desire to learn. They can talk, and they can universally worship the Genesis Frog, raising frog-shaped temples to it. Consorts seem to be inclined to help the players, mainly by taking care of their homes while they are gone on quests in their lands. They are technically NPCs that SBURB creates to aid the players by selling them new abilities and giving them quests. There can be very different types of consorts sometimes, such as 'brains' or 'angels', both of which have special abilities such as flying.
