uh

what

IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR.

he's watching you

>>3348058

BY THE EMPEROR'S DESSICATED BALLS, THIS MADE MY DAY!!!!

Ruby's third eye MUST give her some sort of special ability or super power or something.

Creepy version! oh shi-
(okay, this is mainly for IRC)

>>3348058
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

>>3348079

>>3348082
Oh god I stared at the eyes for just a second and WHATTHEFUCKIT'SLOOKINGATMEOHGOD

>>3348082

How is this scary?

>>3348074
>>3348088

I wish I could say it was mine, but someone posted this yesterday. I never really got into the Ruby threads or honestly cared what they were all about. I just thought this was hilarious.

Don't SLEEP
They are WATCHING

>>3348135
And TOUCHING THEMSELVES

>>3348079
>Ruby's third eye MUST give her some sort of special ability or super power or something.
She has such sights to show you.

>>3348144
But does she know why the Melnorn's bridge turns purple?

DOES ANYONE?

Wasn't Ruby blind, and the place gave her sight again. The third eye is obviously a side effect of that.

>>3348058
Oh god... Oh god I lol'd so much I puked.

So we know that, according to the medical records, Ruby was blind at some point before her accident (which, depending on Ace's motivations, may or may not have actually left her deceased). It might be the condition she had since birth, or that could just be referring to something else.

Either way, I believe Ruby's flashback dream to her room indicates blindness. Her memory of the room is stark, lacking in visual detail, suggesting she was blind when she made these memories. There's a distinct, limited-range aura in which she's simply "aware" of her surroundings, rather than really "seeing" them. It's as if she only knows where and what these things are because she felt them.

On top of all of that, the biggest giveaway is the window.
She has no idea what's on the other side. For some reason, no matter how much she looks out the window, she can't see anything.

>>3348169
Or that could be Weaver stylistically focusing our attention so we didn't go to "Tom" immediately.

>>3348177
Yes, there's always the option that a given event means nothing and has no metaphorical or symbolic value.
But as I explained, I think there's evidence here that it's significant.

>>3348135

>>3348177
Or both, because he's just that good.

>>3348182

One screen should be a scene from Heart of the Distortion.

Everyone seems drawn to the idea that Ruby's third eye lets her see the future, because each 'vision' she's had has revealed something that later proved to be true.
But what if they're not visions of the future... what if they are, instead, memories of the past?

Ruby is suffering amnesia, possibly brought on by drugs, Ace's medical experimentation, and massive head trauma from Red's near-fatal assault.

So assume Ruby never really died. Ace falsely declared her dead in order to have complete freedom of experimentation on her, probably bringing her off to some secret lab. All of Ruby's memories would fall into place, slowly breaking through the haze: She remembers her room, in a more peaceful way. If she knew Tom before, maybe something had been wrong with his eye before (maybe it was why he was in the medical facility for treatment in the first place). Seeing her own corpse in the box, then, would be a flashback to her own near-death experience when she was trapped in that very crate.

>>3348203
...oh Jesus.

I just realized something.

Tom and Ruby both lost their memories. In Ruby's only vision which was DEFINITIVELY based on memory, she was in her home.
The only strange thing about her home was that TOM WAS THERE.

TOM AND RUBY ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY LOVERS BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED
THEY LOST THEIR MEMORIES AND DON'T REMEMBER BEING TOGETHER

Ruby's third eye lets her see how things MIGHT go.

I swear to god if one of you fuckers does something stupid to get Tom killed, I will wrap my dick around your throat and start you up like a lawnmower.

>>3348225

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind time

Uh, what the fuck is this?

You know, it would be the greatest troll of all time if Weaver really did end Rubyquest with Tom and Ruby having sex.

I mean, I wish them all the best, but I don't really want Weaver to mindfuck me by posting them going at it.

>>3348251
Ruby Quest discussion thread. Look it up on suptg.

>>3348251
Ruby Quest. Its in the suptg archive.
Does anyone have the small comic explaining this?

>>3348252

>>3348260

No no, the idea is that Weaver would sanction it. I've seen the stuff people put up.

I would RAGE.

>>3348251

And the bird did silently give chase,
Hunting them through that awful base,
What did he want, this fiend named Ace?
Would soon all be lost?

Goddamnit, brain. Stop drawing likely false parallels.

>>3348285
Again with the There She Is references.

>>3348297

Whaddaya mean again? Sorry, I'm new to all this- I'll admit I've been actively avoiding these threads for reasons I'm not entirely clear on.

>>3348301
Google "There She Is!" Adding "The Witches" might help.

>>3348301

IT'S HOT RABBIT ON CAT SEX MOTHERFUCKER. YOU DON'T HAVE IT

>>3348278

>>3348304

I know what There She Is is.

>>3348316
WATCH IT AGAIN

THEN THINK ABOUT RUBY AND TOM

>>3348049
>>3348278
Does the implication that Ace = OH FUCK DON'T LET HIM COME NEAR YOU entirely come from Ruby's feeling that he is "unfriendly"?

>>3348301

Ruby Quest is delicious point and click adventure, with great characters and thrilling, grimdark storyline.

Check out the archives:

http://4chan.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Ruby

>>3348329

pretty much

I've never understood why Tom was a cat. The real tom is a raccoon. Unless Tom is the drawfags personal character, which would mean he thinks up and draws furries, and potentially is one.

>>3348329

Ruby has predicted things before.

Best to side with her on this one. Stay away from Ace.

>>3348338
No, Tom is not Miles.

>>3348338

Tom =/= Tom Nook

>>3348338
this is tom.
nook is called tom nook.
or just nook, usually.

I don't think Ace is an immediate threat. At least not like "HOLY FUCK, HE'S GOING TO KILL US" . Looks pretty calm, not the type you expect attacking the PCs on sight.

>>3348338
Play more Animal Crossing. There is in fact a cat named Tom.

After a quick google search, I found out there is a real tom. Apparently he is a douchebag.Carry on.

>>3348319
Nah. It is all animal crossing characters.

Theory on third eye: We've established she was blind. Probably from birth(then again, it could have been a regenerative condition where she COULD see but lost her sight at an early age. I mean, she recognizes colors, shape,s and can read now). Her real eyes still don't work. It's been the third eye since she got out of the locker. It is a PSY EYE. She sees psychically, and this also leads her to sometimes experience things others can't because she sees psychic impressions.

No, I don't think this is true. Just a cool idea. PSY RUBY. MIND BULLETS. PYEW PYEW.

>>3348375
see
>>3348090

>>3348375
>MIND BULLETS. PYEW PYEW.

THAT CALLED TELEKINESIS KYLE.

I hope you furfag realize this is probably viral marketing for a new Animal Crossing game. The shit will hit the fan at the end.

>>3348338
Stitches and Ace should also be in that.

>>3348429

I, for one, would welcome a grimmandark Animal Crossing point-and-click on the Nintendo Wii.

God knows they need something other than fucking Wii-Word applications to get anything else out of that system.

>>3348429
If there was an animal crossing game like this, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. System and all. Nintendo could use some more OHGODWHATTHEFUCK in their games.

>>3348058

I don't even LIKE 40k, and this made me laugh.

TOM x TOM OTP

>>3348504
why would you do something like this, why?

>>3348058

That is the most awesome thing I've read all week.

>>3348504
wat

>>3348058
RUBY, FUCK YEAH!

>>3348504
OMG!!! It's burnt into my brain!!!

>>3348504
MY OWN CLONE!
NOW NEITHER OF US WILL BE VIRGINS

>>3348278

Is that a fucking harpoon?

>>3348762
Looks more like a nautical grapnel.

>>3348771
Either way, it'll seriously fuck up poor Tom.

DON'T KILL TOM. The impending rage of the players would no doubt kill the entire game.

We'll avoid Ace. Just in case there's a possibility of him being hostile.

>>3348934

Brace for shitstorm.

Christ, son, what were you thinking?

>>3348058
...and the end.

>>3348278

>>3348934
I'm not sure how that meeting would go down. Tom may cover both witchcraft and mutation, but this is a different universe we're talking about. I shudder to imagine an anthro Fuklaw.

The Hound.

>>3348934

I am imagining Tom giving the middle finger with his right hand.

And now you are, too.

Don't worry OP. Seems preservation of Tom is the #1 goal for most RubyQuest viewers.

RED WUZ HERE
ACE IS A LOSER

>>3349099
#2 goal.
I think when it comes right down to it, they'd save Ruby before Tom.

>>3348456
Indeed.

Which reminds me, I should drag out my Gamecube and start playing Eternal Darkness again.

>>3349148
You should.
Shit was so cash.

>>3349099
It only takes a couple of sagefags spamming the thread to fuck things up. Especially since the real Ruby fans typically avoid spam and vent their observations in the IRC channel.

>>3349171

Helpful Hint: When sagefags come through, don't respond to them.

>>3349171
>real Ruby fans

God fucking damnit.

>>3349183
I think >>3349171 is more worried that sagefags are going to spam their efforts to get tom killed

It occurs to me that the ability to post multiple times is what prevents weaver from taking the most common option in all cases

>>3349200
Correct. Several have stated as much in the last few discussion threads.

so would this here be badend?

>>3349384
So that's how Tom lost his eye.

>>3348297

I can't help it either. Somehow I'm convinced that this is There She Is!! in an alternate universe.

God, now I sound like some FandomSecrets retard.

furry shit

>>3349425
Skullfucked by Red?

>>3349445
No, Anon, you are the furries. And then Anon was anthro.

>>3349461
There's mention of all sorts of crazy crap, but no, Weaver hasn't had us fight Ace (yet)

>>3348278

TOM IS GORDON FREEMAN

>>3349461
There was no fight with Ace. People get creative during discussion threads.

>>3349466

Ah, well.

I now await with bated breath the next incoming news.

no I am

I just realized something. The note, Red's "Try and catch me NOW." note, it wasn't meant for Tom and Ruby.

It was meant for Ace. He was about to figure out that Red was the one that attempted to kill/killed Ruby(depending on whether you think she's already dead or not). About to "catch" him.

He knew that someone would be checking the room at some point using the screen. He knew that they'd see him, dead. And he knew that they'd send Ace.

...or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

>>3349626
>It was meant for Ace

Considering that IT WAS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED TO ACE, you just might be on to something here.

>>3349657
Oh, right. Forgot about that.

Carry on.

Has this been added to the archive?

I've been offline for about a month -- what the fuck is this stick figure rabbit nonsense about?

>>3349718
No. We've got some new fanart here, so feel free.

>>3349718
It doesn't really need to be. The fanart gets thrown onto 1d4chan and there's been no significantly important developments in terms of theories anyway.

So when is the next session?

>>3349734
http://4chan.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Ruby

The link is posted about a dozen times per thread.

>>3349734
RUBYQUEST

Someone will show you the archive.

Ruby is a Navigator, obviously.

SHE HAS A WARP EYE. IF YOU LOOK INTO IT, YOU ERUPT INTO ELDRITCH FLAME.

>>3349766
Suggestion: every time someone starts a discussion thread, they should include that link in the first post to cut down on questions.

>>3349852

But can she see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?

>>3349976

Because its covered with glittering dried mutant blood?

>>3349976
Because of the warp currents on its surface?

>>3348285
Does that make Ace one of the Gangster Bunnies then? If so... who are the other two gangster bunnies?

rolled 30, 17, 9, 36, 17, 9, 18 = 136

I LIKE dead furries...

i..cant wait for the next session...

>>3350078
When is it?

unh unh
happy birthday
unh-unh
happy birthday

>>3350084

FFFFFFFFFF

I lol'd myself inside out

>>3350093

>>3350454
He'll be there all day.

SPOILER WARNING

>>3350519
And big wallpaper version because someone on IRC asked for it.

>>3350557

1024x768 is still considered big these days?

>>3350589
It's considered comfortable for me to work in.

What I don't get is whynot one person has realised that now thanks to extra arms Tom can now dual-wield the Crowbar and Canespade with two-handed grips. The damage multipliers should be enormous.

>>3350552
Oh goddammit that face

>>3350626
Yeah, but his extra arms are small and vestigial.

>>3350660
You think a T-Rex head will grow out of his chest?

>>3350667
I sure hope so.

>>3350667
That's even more damage.

>>3348144
LIBERATE
TU TEMET
EX INFERIS

>>3350660

THEN QUAD-WIELD.

CROWBAR AND CANESPADE IN MAN HANDS. SCALPEL AND THE POINTIEST MEDICAL TOOL IN MINI-HANDS.

VISHNU'S GETTING NERVOUS ALREADY GODDAMN.

>>3350590
Hug the note.
Read Tom.

>>3350660
Then he can use the scalpel with one of the extras, and grapple bitches into submission while cutting them open.

>>3350552

>>3350756
Oh god

>>3350519

you inspired me

Not done yet, will get around to it.

Might've been posted earlier, but I must have missed it. When's Weaver starting the next part?

>>3350802
MAKE HER MORE FLAT!

FIXED.

Did anyone else shriek in fear and loathing that the first post was official?

>>3350802
Ruby's bizarre adventures

>>3350756
Oh exploitable.

>>3350802
Not done? It's already awesome.

>>3350823
I don't think he's set a date yet.

>>3350802
only thing that really bothers me is Red's hands are way too small.

You know, maybe Red is gonna be resurrected. Judging by the size of the hole in Stitches' head, only a small part of the brain is actually necessary to "resurrect" him. Red was probably the guy who fixed Stitches to the wall, and he had some level of authority inside the facility, so he knew that in order to actually stay dead he needed to totally obliterate his brain, something that even two wooden stakes wouldn't be able to do it.

Perhaps Red was trying to solve two problems when he placed the bomb there: he tried to eliminate any chance of being reanimated and he also tried to kill Ace in the process. But he didn't time it correctly (because he wanted Ruby & Tom to see him), giving enough time to be carried away by Ace (he's a fucking tank, if Tom had the time to drag Ruby out of the room, Ace wouldn't have to blink to carry a bag of bones like Red in less than 12 seconds).

But maybe I'm wrong, maybe Ace just left his body there. Who knows.

>>3350937
Yeah, was having problems with that, but I just got lazy.

>>3350946
Ace didn't know about the bomb, and Red was pretty stuck to the ground with those stakes.

I'm betting Red set the bomb not to kill Ace, but to destroy his own body.

>>3350946
Get that feeling we're going to see Red again...?

>>3350973

We was not pretty stuck to the ground with those stakes, given that the ground here is more or less immune to reasonable force. Even if it was soil, ram a shovel into your backyard, then go and pick it up and come back inside in ten seconds. Not hard, was it, and you're not even MASSIVE.

New thread time?

>>3351040
Depends; is this autosaging, and is there anything more to say at the moment?

>>3351040

do we really need one? I guess it would load faster.

>>3351056

We could always keep whining in the hope that Weaver shows and lets us know the next session date, or add to the heap of fanart. What time do they usually start at in GMT?

When's the next part going to be?

Things I have noticed:

They found a SPADE. A SPADE. It is now a cane-shovel. Made with a SPADE and a CANE.
The one who is in the doorway right now has no spade on his shirt. A goon, probably.

>>3351112

I don't think the date is set, but iirc the sessions have been starting at midnight....... PST? I forget. It was mentioned in one of the threads early on and I'm too lazy to check right now.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zzyy1mzykyy

Ruby fanart folder. Complete as far as I know up until now. 18mbs of this stuff.

>>3351126
Weaver says it's the same guy.

>>3351137
3 AM Eastern (4chan's post clock)

>>3351153

Yeah, midnight PST.
Fortunately I'm a Britfag, so that makes it 8am GMT. Ordinarily this would be a problem, but I'm at home between uni terms and my dad's pushing for me to get up at 'sensible' times.

>>3351208
Dude, I'm not at uni right now and I get up at 5 fucking AM. Whether I like it or not. It's like an instinctual response or something.

Is there anything in the IRC about dates?

>>3351091
I think the session last thuesday started at around 10 in the morning (GMT)

>>3351228

I normally go to sleep at around 3am. Although apparently if I go to bed at a roughly regular time every day then I sleep at most six hours, which is conveniently brief.

>>3351208

I'm guessing you're not telling him you're getting up the same time he is to play a game on the internet where imaginary cats and bunnies solve puzzles with explosives and fight against mutants but they are mutants and probably also dead.

>>3351277

Fuck no. I'm 'working'.

To be fair though I have managed to bash out a plan for a seminar on copolymer nanocomposites I'm meant to give to my supervisors and about 20 other undergrads while catching up on Ruby this afternoon...

>>3351239
Weaver doesn't give even so much as a hint when he's going to do the next thread.

It just shows up and we all go "FFFFFFFFFFF RUBY THREAD UP GO GO GO"

That's the advantage of internet games and discussion. You can actually get shit done then.

Or you could be like me and spend the entire time between posts preparing overly-elaborate replies because it feels exactly like work does thus convincing me on some level that I've got work done even though I haven't at all which means I actually do less because afterwards I take a break from the work that never happened.

>>3351336

I do that too. This afternoon was a little unusual in that I actually achieved something which might constructively add to my life and future prospects.

continuation of metal glen illustration

>>3351460

Wait, is this new?

>>3351527

That one is. Follows this

>>3351534

and this

This was inevitable.

tom's train of thought is currently:
'ruby my dear
please tell me this
why are your hips
so delicious?'

>>3351547

Well, rabbit is very lean. Perhaps Tom digs the athletic ladies?

>>3351368

I'm certain there is some way in which adding another seven verses to an epic and finishing the detailed schematics of a massive starship will help my life.

>>3351547
Why do i remember that damn pic with the halfling who likes to ride the paladin naked?

>>3351571

Oh god please don't make me restart my starship schematics. The only way it could be worse is if I found a copy of Boatmurdered just prior to abandonment, at which point I'd need to learn to use an FPS engine in order to recreate it in full.

Here you go.
I made diss for you.
Animooted.

>>3351612

My problem is that it was one point five kilometre long and I insisted on detailing it down to the metre.

>>3351604

AVENCHER TIIIIIIME!

>>3351547
Tom, once again unabashedly looking up Ruby's skirt.

Also you need to work on the symbol on Ace's shirt. That looks more like a buttplug than a spade.

>>3351626

>Also you need to work on the symbol on Ace's shirt. That looks more like a buttplug than a spade.

CANNOT UNSEE

>>3351626
whoops, didn't notice how off it was.
pew pew there all fixed

>>3351460
so awesome

>>3351622
I think mine's similar in length, but I lost track after a while. The smallest details are 2x5 cm lights. Needless to say not much of the interior is done yet. It must stay that way until I manage to get free of any work commitments or my degree is going to get veeeery hard. The only consolation is its taking a modernist straight-lines and angles aesthetic so no bloody curves anywhere.

yea im new... but this sounds interesting. Could someone tell me what this whole "Ruby" thing is?

>>3351687
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Ruby

the whole archive

>>3351622

Oh fuck did we just compare the lengths of our imaginary spaceships?

I don't know HOW I feel about this.

ah so I just read all the parts?

>>3351687

see

>>3348272

>>3351695

/tg/- When we compare our lengths, we're talking kilometers.

And referring to spaceships.

Everyone! Help me summon Weaver!

It would be awesome if whoever's working on the game was able to get it running via a text parser. I know AGS can pull it off what with Trilby's Notes. It might go some way to help maintain the original feel.
