The MS Paint Adventures Suggestion Box
Submit a comment to this post to make a suggestion for the latest MSPA story.
You can also leave any other sort of comment about the site here. That's cool too.
POST YOUR COMMENT
Some notes:
- Keep it short! I tend to clip all suggestions to be about 60 characters or less.
- Maybe this is obvious, but only make suggestions for the latest point in the story! Posting the suggestion "shoot safe" when I am 800 pages past that point doesn't make the slightest bit of sense!

Hatless man: BACKFLIP :)
Crap. My idea was already used.
Seriously, can someone (meaning Andrew) please explain to me why comments get deleted? Is it because they were offensive or because they contained spoilers or what?
The look on the WHALE'S face is delightful. It really made me smile. No matter what other terrible / confusing things may happen in this epilogue, as long as the whale and her bonehead friend are okay, I'll leave with a song in my heart.
Professor Bee: Find yourself unmuted. Tell everyone about the secret TENTH COMB.
BATHEARST: Run away crying about your mom re-marrying to that crazy guy and begin a search for your father AD.
D: I thought wifehearst and Ace Dick were gonna tie the knot!
and PS and HD
and PI and NB
All: Level 2! :D
Honeybee Professor: Recount third part of the story
BATHEARST: Romantically swing in on grappling hook cable and give ring.
AD: Crash wedding and steal ring, why won't they love you, dammit!?
"Seriously, can someone (meaning Andrew) please explain to me why comments get deleted? Is it because they were offensive or because they contained spoilers or what?"
I never remove any comments.
If it says "This post has been removed by the author" then I suspect it means the author removed it. For whatever reason.
Ah well thanks for the heads up. I assumed author meant 'author-of-the-blog' but it seems it's just the comment writer choosing to delete them....
...OR they made their name say "Comment deleted" and their post say "This post was deleted by the author," and they're just trying to screw with me. Or perhaps I'm just paranoid. Of course, if I even think for a moment I'm paranoid, I'm obviously paranoid, because only a truly paranoid person would even think that they come off as paranoid. And, with that, I digress.

MAGNA: What WIFEHEARST?
Magnacor kindly points out to AN ANONYMOUS POSTER that WIFEHEARST only existed in the imaginary universe. Actually, an imaginary universe within the imaginary universe, at that. For her to cross over from the imaginary plane to the material plane would be impossible and frankly silly. For there to be any inconsistencies with this law of nature would be outright ridiculous and, above all, illogical. To further his argument, Magnacor also points to the sign that may or may not have ever existed explaining that "What happens in the GAME OF LIFE stays in THE GAME OF LIFE."
AD: Fight crime with Batherst. Ask where Wifeherst is?
AD: Punch asshole in snout to establish matrimony
Is that Problem Sleuth? Marrying WIFEHEARST!?!?!
Shouldn't it be Ace Dick?
[s]HD: Smack bitch in the snout to establish matrimony[/s]
No wait! I get it! Problem Sleuth is the first man at Ace Dick's Wedding! Good for him.
Man, I just can't stress enough how much I love the color in the Epilogue pages... How in the world did you learn how to color/draw so good??
Suggestion for Epilouge:
BATHEARST is in a clothing shop, buying a TUXEDO. when he leaves, a PHONE inserted into his TUXEDO rings. he picks it up, and some one says, "Your mission, if you-"
BATHHEARST throws the PHONE into ANDREW HUSSIE'S HOUSE. BATHEARST then runs to the wedding, grabbing the RINGBOX from where he left it, rolling a TRASHCAN across a BROKEN BRIDGE, swinging across a LAKE on WHALE INTESTINES and other heroic events. He then gives the RINGS to PS and WIFEHEARST. She then takes in BATHEARST again, making him SONHEARST again.
Also, I LOVE how almost the entire game was black, white, and about 6 colors, and then the real world was full colored! Wait, wouldn't that mean all the characters are thrown out for being B&W?
T-shirt idea "What Pumpkin?"
Earl Molasses Fatts Wraith: Taunt players for never finding the hidden boss battle.
That's not PS at the wedding! He already escaped and is probably off sleuthing properly now. No, I think Wifehearst married the Obviously Sane Man (who has stolen the hat from the man formerly known as the man formerly known as the hatless man). Because it takes an Obviously Sane Man to commit yourself to a Peg from the Game of Life. (although, given the dual nature of most objects in the Office Complex, I wouldn't be surprised if Pegs are actually sentient).
Yeah, I think it would be cool if the entire imaginary universe was called the Office Complex (since as far as we know, the only way to leave for good is through the Office Exit.
Obviously Sane Man, you cuckolding bastard! I hope a Swamp Wizard turns you into a swamp.

No, 's not real yet. See, the CLOCKTOWER, LEGAL ESTABLISHMENT TRADING CRAFT, and WEASELS in general, are all imaginary. I suspect this is just for endgame, and the next GAME will go back to NOIRVISION.

This would be fun. Probably just a few suggestion threads for various unused MS Paint Adventures, a couple logical fallacy threads dotted about the adventure's lifespan, and a few casual questions here and there. Basically it could replace the suggestion box. Not that there's anything wrong with the suggestion box :)

Seriously though, lol. I've seen so many porn ads on this site it's hilarious. Unfortunately, I stopped keeping track of all of the porn almost two whole weeks ago, so your best bet is probably to just keep reading MSPA for the rest of your life until you see it again. It might also be wise to recruit fellow porn-lovers and have them read the site every day as well. If you really want to go the whole nine yards, you should have every single person you know read this just to ensure it is found. Just saying.

TAKE THAT!!!
See, two Imaginary Ace Dicks died, but one of the REAL ace dicks died and returned from death due to bad afterlife security. No paradox or inconsistency.
AUTO PARRY!
Magnacor AUTO-PARRIES Not The Author's LOGICAL POINT with his own LOGICAL COUNTER-POINT.
MAGNA: You clearly establish that while he believes ZAD did indeed lose all three of his lives, when you lose a life you are supposed to be revived in your office. Since he lost all of his lives, he was not revived in his office, but rather in the AFTERLIFE where people who truly died go. It is all so obvious you wonder why you even bothered explaining in the first place.
As nupanick correctly states, the imaginary lives system do only apply when the user enters the imaginary realm through liquor infused imaginary shenanigans in forts. This raises the interesting question, of course, of what happens when you finally DO lose all three of your imaginary lives. I'd say that you likely go insane. This do explains why many great artists become insane - they were in the imaginary realm, getting inspiration from elves. Elves may or may not be real. In any case, there are many reasons as of why this isn't an inconsistency, even when you disregard the facts entirely. And if you do so, I suggest you come out of your fort and drink some lukewarm coffee; that moonshine isn't that good for you.
Be badass.

AIG is slain!
Not the Author writes you a VERY INTELLIGENT POST! You find it awfully unnerving that you must now find an argument to counter this, for admitting defeat is impossible with your high EGO ATTRIBUTE.
MAGNA: Wander through endless pages of PROBLEM SLEUTH in preparation for this dauting task.
You discover one PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT and equip it in the WEAPON SLOT.
Magnacor presents the PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT that in order to lose an IMAGINARY LIFE the only requirement is that you no longer exist in the IMAGINARY UNIVERSE. He points out that you don't have to necessarily be killed by something as evidenced by various characters dying simply because the IMAGINARY UNIVERSE they came from was turned off.
Magnacor finishes providing the structure for his PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT and moves onto the MAIN POINT. He continues that it is possible that when PI used PICKLE REPLICSIMILE (after ingesting large amounts of CANDY CORN LIQUOR) he lost a life without anyone mentioning it. Magnacor continues that every single one of the PI's that were created by PICKLE REPLICSIMILE ended up getting slain, turning into something else, of going into an alternate state of being. If it is assumed that only someone with the name of Pickle Inspector counts towards Pickle Inspector's IMAGINARY LIVES (meaning that, say, Godhead Pickle Inspector would not count as the actual Pickle Inspector) then it is possible that at the exact moment that every single Pickle Inspector popped out of existence in some way (which would be the moment PI used TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE resulting in him changing into Past-Pickle Inspector and Future-Pickle Inspector) PI lost an IMAGINARY LIFE. Now normally, at this time PI would be revived in his office, but considering that he was already moving about the material plane (due to him using one of his PI's to use ABSTRACTED THOUGHT) he was not revived in his office, though he did lose a life. You simply neglected to press the START BUTTON to observe how many lives you now had remaining.
Your PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT is out of ammo!
MAGNA: Flip the fuck out!
NTA: Your LOGIC OSTRICH has buried its head! Now is the time to unleash your final barrage of OBSERVATIONAL ACUITY upon Magna!
You equip your THINKING HAT and RAZOR EYES (which, conveniently, are the same as your NORMAL ones). Your DELIBERATIVITY skyrockets!
UNIVERSAL UNRAVELENCE: FILL 'EM WITH NITPICKLE INSPECTION
__________________________
*ahem*
I’ll be taking apart your points one by one, so as to show exactly why your thinking is flawed.
-----
“…in order to lose an IMAGINARY LIFE the only requirement is that you no longer exist in the IMAGINARY UNIVERSE.”
Firstly, the phrasing of this is such that, upon passing through a WINDOW, the Player would lose a LIFE; thus rendering TEMPORAL REPLICOLISION entirely impossible. But I’ll take what you mean instead, leading us to your MAIN POINT…
-----
“…every single one of the PI's that were created by PICKLE REPLICSIMILE ended up getting slain, etc…”
I’d hoped to make this clear in my last argument, but apparently I didn’t. Each of those Eight PIs was a copy of the initial one that died. Therefore, each one had 2 LIVES. The Initial PI died (it has been confirmed by AH himself that yes, Replicsimilation causes death, earlier in the Suggestions Box. I myself pointed out the 4 Dead Temporal PIs, but not the initial one, although I was Anonymous at the time.), but could not return to the material realm, as PI was already there. This, admittedly, occurred after the score check, and it is entirely possible that the initial split caused the “Real” PI to lose a life. However, the 8 PI Clones were independent of the existence of the Real PI, thus when 3 of them were slain, PI was not also.
-----
“…but considering that he was already moving about the material plane (due to him using one of his PI's to use ABSTRACTED THOUGHT)…”
I just went over this, but for clarity, I’ll do it again. PI, to use your own words, “no longer existed in the imaginary universe” at the moment he split. One was lost, 8 were created. This (necessarily) occurred before PI used ABSTRACTED THOUGHT, and before the existence of GPI. PI, again, probably lost a LIFE in that time, but should have gained it back upon merging with a PI Clone that had two (see previous). Otherwise, he, too, would have lost all three IMAGINARY LIVES, at which point we’re back to SQUARE ONE.
-----
“…at the exact moment that every single Pickle Inspector popped out of existence in some way… PI lost an IMAGINARY LIFE.”
So, essentially, I’m saying he had 2 LIVES, and you’re saying he lost 9 LIVES (8 not including the CCLiquor-Infused original).
That’s, lessee… That’s…
That’s…
THAT’S NEGATIVE SEVEN LIVES.
WHAT THE HELL.
-----
Of course, this argument rests on a very fine point, and can be easily toppled, as AH would have done already. But this debate is too epic for him to ruin like that… see if you can do it for him, Magnacor.

MAGNA: Touché
You sincerely hope that your use of an 'e' with an accent mark is enough to humble Not the Author with your grammatical excellence. For safe measures you continue however.

MAGNA: Prepare to use some righteous LOGIC on the other parts of the post.
"it has been confirmed by AH himself that yes, Replicsimilation causes death, earlier in the Suggestions Box."
AH has contradicted you! You feel quite foolish attempting to argue with what is already proven. Always the optimist however, you use this post to your advantage and come to the conclusion that your own CONVOLUTED THEORY is, in fact, false, but PI did run out of IMAGINARY LIVES at the same time as AD.

Not the Author counters your argument before you can even post it. Wow, what a fucking waste of time, trying to post an argument was! You topple a SACRED URN in disgust.
The contents spill out and you find more ammo for your PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT. You equip the ROCKET LAUNCHER and prepare to engage in some more hardcore debating.
--
You point out that the idea of the Imaginary Pickle Inspector merging with the real one giving him two lives instead of his assumed one, really doesn't make a ton of sense, especially since it is highly likely that they don't have any lives at all considering AD, the PS, and the real imaginary (Oxymoron lol) PI are the only characters shown to have lives and the other PI's seem to simply disappear after they are "used." It seems more that they simply fade from existence after dying/becoming deities/splitting in two/switching consciousness, rather than truly dying considering that none of them end up in the AFTERLIFE (Save PPI and FPI) or Hell when they dying/becoming deities/splitting in two/switching consciousness. This would lead one to believe that a life would not be added to PI once he and himself merged as one.

You fire the rocket directly into the hulking evil robot that is Not the Author and deal a BRUTAL AFFRONT.

"Wasn’t this supposed to be about ZAD's third death?"
MAGNA: Oh snap!
You realize that this was about ZAD's third death and try to find your TRAIN OF THOUGHT, but it seems to have left the TRAIN STATION. You search for the TRAIN STATION OF THOUGHT in the nearby HALLOWED TOMBS. You debate whether or not it would be wise DEFILE these ruins, but concede that if you cannot find your TRAIN OF THOUGHT, all is lost and the giant, evil, robotic Not the Author will control all of humanity. You find the TRAIN STATION OF THOUGHT and hop on board to see the sights. Apparently the reasoning behind this spin-off debate is AD ran out of lives and was revived in the AFTERLIFE with PI, but the only way for this to be so is if PI somehow lost all of his lives, but he still had one life unaccounted for so if a way for him to die is found then your assumption on AD's death is proved correct.

Magnacor turns on his CURLING IRON and hurls it at the PLOTHOLE CRYSALIS. It flies several feet in front of him and then bounces back as it is still plugged into the wall and the CORD is not nearly long enough to reach the distance. That's rather useless!

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m160/Nupanick/etch-a-sketch/etchMSPAafterlifeCalculations.jpg
It's quite simple, actually. You wonder why you made such a big deal of it.
===================================
PRE-EMPTIVE AUTO-PARRY!
Catching a clue from the current canon contention conflict, you cleverly concoct a catchy comeback:
PS was hallucinating due to Sepulchritude's lingering effects and was not actually having a near-death experience. Obviously, if PS was having a near-death experience, then DEATH would have a corresponding near-sleuth experience, which does not appear to have occured. Also, Temporal Replicollision works because (due to the clever trick of dropping the portholes through the jacuzzi) both sides of each window were already in the imaginary universe.
Yo! There's a forum! So we don't have to fill the suggestion box with this canon contention conflict!
http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Index
MAGNA: Carefully read through NUPANICK's data and calculate validity.
________
Using your immense knowledge of ETCH-A-SKETCH T.I. 780 CALCULATION TECHNOLOGY, you easily and quickly review the data and recognize that there is certainly some validity to that logic.
MAGNA: Open up 3 different tabs on your computer and try to find some sort of flaw in this logic so you may keep your boon.
No matter how hard you try, you can't compete with this computer-calculated data. Of course, there is still nothing to suggest that your own idea is incorrect. It is still just as likely that you are right as he. You hold your CURLING IRON tight and whisper into no specific part, "No one will take you from me baby... no one...."
Your CREEPINESS meter suffers a massive increase!
AH: Skip town already!

But we will, anyway. This is easier to find than the forum, and the argument is all recorded here anyway.

Before you make another POINT in your ARGUMENT, you'd better find somewhere to put the PLOTHOLE CHRYSALIS. You don't want to deal with that FRACTAL shit anymore than necessary.
Briefly, you consider putting it in your TOPHAT FRACTALESQUE, but discard that idea instantly: should it hatch there, your CRANIUM would FRACTALIZE as well.

NN's assault flies quickly over NTA's head! NTA avoided the attack! MAGNA redirects it in an easy-to-explain manner.
Basically what NN's INDEPENDENT RESEARCH claimed was if you die while in a fort, you wake up from your imaginary slumber in your office and lose an IMAGINARY LIFE. And if you die after going through a WINDOW, you awaken in the land of the dead and do not lose a life. By this logic, it would be true that none of them ever ran out of IMAGINARY lives including ZAD since he was killed after going to the imaginary universe via a portal. The DATA he calculated with his JACK KNIFE easily explained all this. Anyone with a basic knowledge of scientific and mathematical terms should have easily comprehended that.

>NTA: LV 16 RECOLLECTECH -> DREDGERY OF THE ANCIENT
TWO-DIMENSIONAL FRACTALS have an INFINITE PERIMETER, but a FINITE AREA.
Using your vast stock of PROBABLE LOGIC, this rule could apply to three-dimentional objects:
INFINITE SURFACE AREA, but FINITE VOLUME.
If only that knowledge was useful in some way. Maybe if you had a THREE-DIMENSIONAL FRACTAL around, you'd figure something out, but you can't recall where you would find such an object...
Your poor MEMORY stat is rather annoying in situations like this.
>FAN STATUS?

>NN: Contribute.
It appears Magnacor has correctly interpreted your data and is in the process of reloading his DEFRACTALIZATION CANNON.
Delighted with the support from Magnacor, Nupanick uses the SCREWDRIVER on his JACK KNIFE to help unscrew the BATTERY COMPARTMENT.
Nupanick and Magnacor each take one KNOB on the ETCH-A-SKETCH and begin twisting. With the combined effort, the screw is removed twice as quickly.
This totally makes perfect sense.
===================================
But yeah, I see Magnacor got my point from the SKETCH. ZAD never lost all his imaginary lives because he entered the battle through a window and not by playing in a fort. In fact, AFAIK, nobody ever lost all their imaginary lives. Unless one supply of PEP GOLD is the equivalent of one IMAGINARY LIFE, but that's a question for a different battle. (My guess is that if they lost all their lives, they would simply be unable to function in the imaginary world until some form of DIVINE INTERMISSION reset the lives count).
===================================
what plothole?
PS: Wake up from dream. Then wake up again to realize it wasn't a dream.
"nupanick said...
what plothole?"
>NTA: AUTO-PARRY!
You dodge the question, trying to find somewhere to put the PLOTHOLE CHRYSALIS FRACTURESCING before it hatches.
Building on your PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE of FRACTALS combined with your GAMING EXPERIENCE, you rationalize if you were able to somehow INVERT a THREE-DIMENSIONAL FRACTAL, it would become a BOTTOMLESS PIT into which the CHYSALIS could be safely deposited.
But unfortunately, there's nothing like that anywhere around here. You thought there might be, but... Oh well.
Instead, you decide to place it somewhere no one would bother to look for it. Say, the SCIENCE FAQ.
"Not The Author said...

MAGNA: Store this PIECE OF INFORMATION inside safe to be retrieved at some later time.
You never know when the knowledge of creating a BOTTOMLESS PIT could come in handy. Though you also point out that while it would be BOTTOMLESS-- since it has FINITE VOLUME-- it wouldn't be incredibly deep to reasonably-sized objects. Unless of course that object was pulling the drawstrings of his GRAVITY BRASSIER with great force, but that has never happened before and probably never will.

That's Temporally Replicsimilated Pickle Inspectors. Any TRPI you care to choose is an imaginary being, spawned from a spawn of the CCLiquor-ed PI in the CUSHION FORT.
The fact that IMAGINARY PLAYERS can be and have already been sent to the AFTERLIFE instead of losing an IMAGINARY LIFE shakes the foundations of your INDEPENDENT RESEARCH.
Which wouldn’t be so bad, except that you composed your RESEARCH on a JACK KNIFE.
There is an explanation around that, though…
After PI used ABSTACTED THOUGHT, the iPIs became IMAGINARY NPCs, and every iNPC that has died has gone to the afterlife. See: HIGGS, the WHALE, etc.
Unfortunately, this line of reasoning paves way for the AD INFINITUM INFINITE MATTER ACCRETION PARADOX…
___________________________________
Even mentioning it causes the PLOTHOLE CHRYSALIS FRACTURESCING to tremble viciously and shed a few layers. You hurry towards the SCIENCE FAQ with all due haste!
But first, you’ve got to procure a new TOPHAT.
>NN: Grant a boon to MAGNA.
Realizing the resistance being put up by attempts to neutralize the PLOTHOLE CHRYSALIS via his META-GAME LOGIC, Nupanick decides it is time to attempt progress in a more IN-GAME fashion (as much as that's possible within the confines of an elaborate collaborate fanfiction).
Not wanting to become too directly involved in the battle, Nupanick instead simply attempts to aid Magnacor's valiant efforts with a Fractalline Sketch.
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m160/Nupanick/etch-a-sketch/etchFractal01.jpg
>NEXT
This is complete and utter bullshit. No way is a simple 2-dimensional fractal going to stand in the way of the PLOTHOLE CRYSALIS. You come up with a much more clever way to aid Magnacor (without becoming too directly involved).
Nupanick clicks away his PORTABLE SCREWDRIVER so as to access the other devices attached to the JACK KNIFE. He opens the PORTABLE KEYCHAIN instead, with its wealth of tiny GUNS and GADGETS.
Nupanick grins madly.
>NEXT
Nupanick removes the TINY KEYCHAIN ETCH-A-SKETCH from the PORTABLE KEYCHAIN. He considers tossing it to Magnacor (to whom it will probably be of the most use) but appears to think better of it (due to Magnacor's previously demonstrated low ACCURACY attribute). Instead, Nupanick walks up to Magnacor and calmly hands him the TINY KEYCHAIN JACK-KNIFE, complete with TINY TINY KEYCHAIN KEYCHAIN (That is to say, a keychain which is tiny by the standards of tiny keychains).
Nupanick keeps his own ETCH-A-SKETCH because it may be useful later in the SKETCHING of SURLY THUGS and the like. He then flees to watch the battle from a safe distance.
You suddenly remember that you were wearing your THINKING TOPHAT, which is identical to your NORMAL TOPHAT, except for the DELIBERATIVITY bonus. You reequip your TOPHAT and continue towards the SCIENCE FAQ.
You'd better hurry. The PLOTHOLE CHRYSALIS HATCHULESQUINE has grown unbearably hot. There's no way you could hold it were you not a CYBORG, but you won't be able to hold it for much longer before it melts through your MECHANICAL ARM.
This is incredibly convoluted!

Hey! My research is sound! When a character loses an IMAGINARY LIFE, are you proposing that it simply vanishes? The lost life is returned to the afterlife, where all lost lives belong. I'm sure that somewhere in that fractaline flower are the departed souls of the imaginary AD's and PS's, along with the insanely large number of iPI's who have split in half in the process of their divine duty.
I said "insanely large," not infinite.
The afterlife is a fractal which, by NTA's logic, should have an infinite perimiter but a finite area. This means that the smaller your measuring stick, the more lengths you can fit around the edge of the afterlife, until an infinitesimally small stick can measure an infinite number of times around the edge.
A finite group of subatomic objects should easily fit within that perimiter. So all the iPIs can fit in the afterlife, because if they ever start to get crowded they simply need to line up near the perimiter.
Of course, what happens if there are so many iPIs in existance that they overflow the finite area of the afterlife, leaving the "perimiter argument" useless?
some of them will just have to stand on top of each other, I guess. Just because the afterlife is based on a 2-dimensional fractal is no reason to assume that vertical motion is not allowed. And I seriously doubt that there is enough matter in the imaginary universe to fill the outer edge of the afterlife more than twice over. But this is all just a hypothesis, a possible way of rationalizing any plothole stress you may have been feeling.
Also Magnacor, that's "TINY TINY KEYCHAIN POOL KEY." The boon I granted you was the TINY KEYCHAIN ETCH-A-SKETCH from off my normal-sized JACK-KNIFE KEYCHAIN.

How could that have happened? You were sure you checked for plotholes, like, a few seconds ago!

___________________________________
NTA: MAXIMUM RAVE!!! TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE AD INFINITUM INFINITE MATTER ACCRETION IMPOSSIBILITY
The following things are not in question, and cause the problem with TRAI.
(1) REPLICSIMILATION kills the user.
Otherwise, The RED PART-PICKLE should have been unable to enter the AFTERLIFE.
(2) PART-PICKLES, upon dying, enter the AFTERLIFE.
Again, not in question. This has already happened.
(3) TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILES have slightly less matter from the original.
Based on:
(3a) The first REPLICSIMILES were not clearly smaller in size than the original.
(3b) The AD INFINITUM REPLICSIMILES necessarily were smaller than their “parent” PI.
(3c) TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE AD INFINITUM is the same as TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE, just carried on forever; therefore splitting wouldn’t actually cause a 1:2(1/2) split, as the original was a 1:2(~1) split.
___________________________________
With me so far? The next bit contains MATH.
___________________________________
Carrying (3) to its logical conclusion:
The total amount of matter in the universe at ANY GIVEN TIME may not exceed (2(M-N))^N, where M is the number of particles in the INITIAL PI, and N is the number of REPLICSIMILATIONS.
If someone would check that equation, I’d be grateful.
Taken separately, each TRPI is fully within the MAXIMUM MATTER LIMIT (2^(M-1)) OF THE UNIVERSE.
However, the TOTAL MATTER in TRAI is rather a lot more than that. Given M-1 as the maximum N value, the amount of matter in the previous tier of TRPIs is (2(2))^(M-2), or 4^M-2. Then, 6^M-3. And so on.
And each INDIVIDUAL TRPI dies and goes to the afterlife.
___________________________________
Last break before the MAIN ARGUMENT. Be absolutely sure you get everything before this point before continuing.
___________________________________
“nupanick said…
A finite group of subatomic objects should easily fit within that perimeter. So all the iPIs can fit in the afterlife, because if they ever start to get crowded they simply need to line up near the perimeter.”
This is an entirely valid point. Unfortunately, it’s exactly NOT the problem here. The total amount of matter in the UNIVERSE, not just as it exists at the moment but across all of time, would not be enough to process all the iPIs, as the PART-PICKLES contain less MATTER than all of their predecessors combined, by several orders of magnitude.
=PREEMPTIVE AUTO-COUNTER=
The only reason I’m exempting BHMK from this is that the GRAVITY BRASSIRE didn’t necessarily increase his “real” mass, so long as it could replicate the effects of doing so. Which I’m saying it can, and already has.
However, there is no SUSPICIOUSLY VALID TECHNOLOGICAL EXCUSE preventing an IMPOSSIBLY LARGE MATTER ACCRETION from the death of an insanely large quantity of iPIs.
I said "insanely large," not infinite.
;P
___________________________________
That is one ridiculously massive WALL OF TEXT.
It’s going to take one hell of an ARGUMENT to end this one.
Nupanick is tired of waiting for Magnacor to solve this CAREFULLY PLANNED PUZZLE.
Nupanick presses a button on his KEYCHAIN REMOTE CONTROL.
The TINY KEYCHAIN JACK KNIFE reacts! It's TINY TINY KEYCHAIN opens to reveal a TINY TINY KEYCHAIN ETCH-A-SKETCH! The TINY TINY KEYCHAIN JACK KNIFE KEYCHAIN opens to reveal a TINY TINY TINY KEYCHAIN ETCH-A-SKETCH! The TINY TINY TINY KEYCHAIN JACK KNIFE KEYCHAIN opens to reveal a TINY TINY TINY TINY KEYCHAIN ETCH-A-SKETCH! In fact, there is, and has been for some time, an infinite series of tiny etch-a-sketches hanging from an infinite series of tiny jackknifes. Nupanick is pissed that Magnacor failed to notice this despite subtle hinting and mad grinning.
Nupanick presses the INVERT button on the normal sized KEYCHAIN REMOTE. The FRACTAL ETCH-A-SKETCH screens fuse together into a PORTABLE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
Nupanick composes a message on his MASTER ETCH-A-SKETCH and it appears in similar fashion upon the walls of the PORTABLE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
"Most of an atom is empty space. Live iPIs follow the laws of particle physics. Their departed souls need not. So the iPIs in the afterlife take up much less volume then their live equivilents.
Let's also not forget that since all matter is expanding through time from the exact mid-point of the imaginary universe's history, there is less "live matter" in the later stages of the universe and the total amount of matter has actually started decreasing as more iPIs are dying than are arriving from the past to take their place. This means that the size of the universe relative to the afterlife is decreasing, or if you prefer, the afterlife is increasing in relative size over time.
The amount of space available in the afterlife increases over time as the imaginary universe takes up less space as time increases. Each iPI that dies has more space in the afterlife than they did in life. As the universe shrinks, the space that an individual iPI has in the afterlife should actually increase, regardless of how many iPIs there are in total. "
NTA watches Nupanick's WALL OF TEXT line the edges of the PORTABLE BOTTOMLESS PIT which is inexplicably wrapped around his own HEAD due to his composition containing every FRACTAL ever in existance. Then Nupanick picks up the remote again and presses EJECT.
The FRACTAL JACK-KNIVE BLADES simultaniously flip open. the PORTABLE BOTTOMLESS PIT has become the PORTABLE BOTTOMLESS SPIKE PIT, which is currently wrapped around NTA's head, hat, and PLOTHOLE CHRYSALIS.
Nupanick hopes this will shed some light on things.
Please continue.
Also, as a hypothetical, if the afterlife itself was made up of dead iPIs, then the afterlife would grow as the rest of the universe shrinks and keep the total size constant. This may make more sense than anything NTA may be reading inside the PORTABLE BOTTOMLESS SPIKE PIT which, incidentally, prevents him from making eye contact.
So, to recap: the bottomless pit is designed to hold fractals. NTA is currently carrying every fractal ever in existance. He has therefore been sucked into the pit with them.
I need to shut up and let you guys continue now that I'm done being pissed that you missed my build-up.

___________________________________
Again, we're dealing with mass, not volume.
And since, once more, there isn't enough mass in the entirety of causality to even approach the amount of matter needed to form all those iPIs.
Add the fact that the AFTERLIFE is probably also made of matter, and that, too, would vanish to fail to make all the preceeding iPIs.
Also:
"Live iPIs follow the laws of particle physics. Their departed souls need not."

That's better.
Within your fort, you are bound only by your meta-imagination and several WALLS OF TEXT.
Nupanick is in his META-IMAGINARY OFFICE. He realizes he still has no clue how to get from the science FAQ from here. This could take a while.

"Magnacor said...
I could tell you were going somewhere with the "inverted fractal" thing so I didn't destroy the PLOTHOLE CHRYSALIS and destroyed the hat, thinking you had no use for it."
HATS, ya know?
They can do this thing.
NN: Nupanick presses the button to shut down the FRACTAL JACK KNIFE. It is now usable as a normal ETCH-A-SKETCH KEYCHAIN. Go to it, Magnacor!
MAGNA: "Got to it!"
It is simply too small to "go to" so you try a different method.
You remove your TINY MAGNETIC EXPERIMENTATION LABORATORY KEY from your CHAIN GUN and equip it. You assume NTA took some damage from your assault though he didn't respond...
You activate your MAGNET RAY and suck the minuscule ETCH-A-SKETCH from within the FRACTAL. You then use your TAILOR SHOP KEY to increase the size of the ETCH-A-SKETCH.
MAGNA: AGRESS!
You AGRESS NTA with your with your BAYONET-EQUIPPED CHAINGUN.
MAGNA: Fondly regard silence of the suggestion box now that Andrew has made his return after three days of no updates.
Quickly retrieve arms from the Epilogue
MSPA Readers: Fellate AH in the comments box, as he thoroughly deserves it.
Seriously great work, never fucking stop. If you keep up the epilogue and do another, I will find a way to send whores to your house. Men or women whores, your choice.
>NN: Explore your meta-imaginary office.
You lean back in your meta-imaginary desk chair. There is a pile of CASE FILES on your desk with EQUIPMENT REQUISITION FORMS sticking out of them. Here is where even the most hard-boiled of detectives can come when they need a little... help.
Help in the form of the M&M BEBE GUN, the ALCHEMY-BOTANY KIT, and the TINY TINY KEYCHAIN GARAGE DOOR OPENER.
You are...
THE EQUIPMENT MANAGER.
There's nobody here right now and you get the feeling those forms can wait. It is getting stuffy in here though.
NTA: STATUS
I officially nominate Bathearst for his own Adventure.
Or a new adventure with all the characters reset to level 1.
Who's with me?
Also, I would totally pay to see a Problem Sleuth movie. Not a animated one. That would be amazing. Like Watchmen, except better.
A feed with content?
NTA STATUS REPORT:
WEAPON SLOT - Empty
ARMOR SLOT - FRACTILE PERIMETER***
SHIELD SLOT - WALL OF TEXT
IMAGINATION - Cripplingly Magnificent
PULCHRITUDE - WHAT THE HELL THAT?!*
VIM - Fractile Area**
*PULCHRITUDE doesn't really apply to something that AUTO-COUNTERS with EYE CANCER when you look at it...
**Not only does NTA take reduced damage from his WALL OF TEXT, his FRACTILE nature means that he takes damage to his PERIMETER before his AREA, and while his AREA regenerates slowly, it does have a maximum limit.
***His PERIMETER, however, has no known maximum limit, and not only regenerates over time, but, in fact, increases. This has already happened since BOTH of Magna's last attacks.
You may want to AGRESS FASTER, or AGRESS MORE POWERFULLY. Probably both would be good.
...Of course, a good solid hit to his WALL OF TEXT might cause him to implode.
___________________________________
NTA: That empty weapon slot is kinda bugging you. You reach for your MECHANICAL PENCIL, which you dropped for some reason.
Oh, right, you were impaled by a FRACTAL TENDRIL before taking this form. Duh.
Unfortunately, you cannot equip NON-FRACTAL WEAPONS! You leave your MILITARY-GRADE MULTI-PURPOSE PLASMA EMITTER where it is.
NTA: Search for power within.
You do some SOUL-SEARCHING.
A Problem Sleuth movie would be cool, but how would you pull it off? Have a narrator reading commands? A Bar of text that appears on the screen? Or just cut out some of the fourth-wall humor?
Given, trying to pull off "Your KEY is out of bullets" in a live-action film would probably be one of the funniest things ever. You'd have to get the lighting right and everything for drama, and then have the lead actor do this silly thing where he hoists an old key over his shoulder. That would be awesome!
Or maybe a play. The commands could be made into stage directions...
Although to me it looks like you'd have to rewrite almost the entire plot to get it to work on stage. What are your thoughts?
Oh, that's right.
Since everyone's making suggestions about what comic they'd like next...
Even though AH clearly has a plan in mind already...
I'll give absolutely no timeframe or setting suggestions. Only one plot point which I'll be disappointed if I don't see eventually.
It's kinda inevitable, really:

A silent movie could work (Not that any of these are ever going to happen), but personally, I think that an actual video game would work the best. It could be a text game with a list of suggested commands and stuff and maybe a slightly expanded plot to include more gameplay.

MAGNA: Ogle NTA's regeneration powers curiously.
You plan on ogling NTA's regeneration power, but some otherworldly force persuades you that this might be a bad idea. Instead you turn your ogle towards that MILITARY-GRADE MULTI-PURPOSE PLASMA EMITTER that's probably completely useless. What could would one of those do against an ultra-powerful enemy?
MAGNA: UNMERCIFUL AGRESSION!
You fire your POWER PLANT KEY at NTA and fill him with 1000's of volts of electricity.
oh yeah, a silent movie! That would be awesome! And I'm sure the weird scenes could be handled with some hilariously bad special effects.
...but we'd hit a problem with Temporal Replicsimile anyway, because we need to tell the iPIs apart by color. Maybe make a mostly black and white film but have the iPIs have colored halos or something?
Or a full-color silent film. That would be really anachronistic. And someone would need to write really kickass final boss music to play in the background while you're watching the scenes with DMK.
>NN: open door.
Well, since I haven't been illustrating this, there mignt not be a door for all we know, but let's assume that there isn't one.
That's why it's so stuffy. You should probably open a window or something.
You open the meta-imaginary window.
A rush of opportunity hits you. You could walk out that window right now and into the meta-meta-imaginary universe, making things much more complicated and failing to in any way help defeat that fractal monster or seal the plot hole until the last moment when it turns out you had a brilliant plan that required you to first reach a forty-second level imaginary office.
Or you could back away slowly and focus.
Especially because it's actually a dumb lightbox with a picture in it. It's still stuffy in here.
>MAGNACOR: Attack in a needlessly complicated manner.
NTA: Your CHARGE METER has increased by 1KILOVOLT! You'll need about 1,209,999 more if you're going to do anything with that, though.
NTA: Continue SOUL-SEARCHING.
You continue to be completely oblivious to everything around you as you probe your SUBCONSIOUS REALM for something to aid you.
It's not going great. You've only just escaped your PROTOIMAGINARY OFFICE...
NTA: Hm. You appear to have been attacked in a way that may or may not have had any effect. It was really too complex a maneuver to understand, even by someone with a FRACTALINE MIND such as yourself.
Not that you were paying attention, anyway.
NTA: SOUL-SEARCH in a more convoluted manner.
I'm sorry, were you not paying attention earlier?

Geez! It's like no one can figure things out!

You still need 12099900kV more!
>NN: Try to take some of your cool sleuth equipment back into the real world.
You dig through a few boxes of equipment and find a collection of KEYCHAIN GADGETS which you add to your SECOND-LEVEL INVENTORY, to distinguish them from the things you were carrying in real life.
You now have the
POKE-BALL KEYCHAIN
which contains the
ELEVATOR KEY
LV 2 POOL KEY
and the BOTTLE OPENER.
These are quite useful and imaginative items which it took you quite a while to daydream completely, now how to get them into the battle?
>NN: Jump through window.
You crash into the back of the light box. You don't know why you never noticed it, but the picture inside isn't a landscape or a plain background. You can't even see an UGLY DOG in the light box! Instead, there's a large, low-res image of a RED HERRING. This may or may not be a clue.
Also, you should really get a hat while you're at it.

Wow. I love you guys.

You're getting tired of waiting to see if Magnacor sets up a more convoluted attack. You're not getting anywhere with that damn RED HERRING, but you can still make things more complicated and maybe aid in the battle.
>NN: COMPLICATECH: MOBIUS CANON
You meta-imagine a LAPTOP with iWiFi and browse to the MSPA SCIENCE FAQ. You can see the whole battle from here!
You can't get down, though. The screen is too small to climb through and you never finished your KEYCHAIN SHRINK RAY. Maybe one of gadgets you picked up earlier will turn out to be of use.
NTA: STATUS
NTA has lost MINIMAL AREA.
NTA has gained MINIMAL AREA.

Or, for those like AD...
...Only more complex.
MAGNA: Attack in a more convoluted manner.
You put your POWER PLANT KEY back on your KEYCHAIN. That was almost completely useless. You instead walk over to that useless MILITARY-GRADE MULTI-PURPOSE PLASMA EMITTER for some crazy puzzle shit to occupy your mind while you try to find a useful weapon to use against FAA/NTA.
Using the SCREWDRIVER on your JACK KNIFE you unscrew the METAL PLATING on the PLASMA EMITTER. You notice a number of parts are missing or damaged. The MULTIFLUX TURBINES need a new DIVUNER, the NUMERATOR FLUXOIDE is missing, and the TRANSPHOMETER has to be replaced. You can't find any of those around so you guess you might as well do some AGRESSING.
You equip the METAL PLATING in the SHIELD SLOT. You equip your TANNING SALON KEY in your WEAPON SLOT.
MAGNA: MANIACAL AGGRESSION!
You fire your SOLAR LASER at FAA while laughing maniacally!
>NN: Check INVENTORY.
You are carrying:

As the player, you're glad you don't have to fight this monster in real life. Your inventory sucks! And your GAME BOY doesn't even have an innocuous double!
As a character, there must be some sort of gadget here that'll help you...
What fourth wall?
Also, if we've established that the amount of matter in the universe at any given time is finite, and the afterlife is finite then there's a simple hypothesis that explains everything:
You type an ARGUMENT on the LAPTOP and drop it above the SCIENCE FAQ.
"The afterlife (like the GAME OF LIFE) distorts space so that anything that enters it shrinks down, and the sheer number of flowers is such that all the matter in the imaginary universe could fit inside. The iPIs in the afterlife are subatomic relative to "normal" sized things in the afterlife (which means that they are sub-subatomic compared to things outside the afterlife, unless they leave through the top of GPI's flower or DEATH's door, both of which change the size back to normal)."
META-SUGGESTION BOX

|>MAGNA: agress more already!|

NTA: Well, this is a new one. You're not at all sure how to deal with a giant beam of SOLAR ENERGY.
Or, at least you wouldn't be sure, if your mind was at all aware of what was going on around you.
NTA has lost MASSIVE PERIMETER!
NTA gains MODERATE PERIMETER.
NTA has lost MAJOR AREA!
NTA gains MINIMAL AREA.
NTA is no longer BURNING.
NTA is no longer FROZEN.
WALL OF TEXT remains impervious to CONVENTIONAL DAMAGE!
Otherwise, that would have killed NTA outright.

After what seems like several hours of wierd fractaline puzzle shit later, you finally arrive at the FRACTALINE PLOTHOLE ESSENCE which makes up your being. While you can't seem to find a SOUL around here, there is SOMETHING that strikes you as... out of place.
NTA: Add... SOMETHING... to inventory.
You pick up the EIGHT KEY-RING?. It's shaped like an eight, and doesn't appear to have any KEYS on it. Hm.
NTA: Ascend to CONSIOUSNESS.
You exit your SUBCONSCIOUS PROTOIMAGINARY REALM, EIGHT KEY-RING? in tow.
Wait, why is there a question mark there?

OK, that question mark is seriously bugging you now. Besides, it's already been determined that you can't equip NON-FRACTAL WEAP-*
...Oh.
OH.
Why didn't you think of that sooner? It seems so obvious now...
I remind you again, that's the TINY SCREWDRIVER on the TINY KEYCHAIN JACK KNIFE. But the MECHANICAL PENCIL probably has really small screws anyway.
>NN: Wait, you have a portal gun? Fire it through the LAPTOP!
Yes! You can't fit through the LAPTOP but you can place a portal in the SCIENCE FAQ with the TINY KEYCHAIN PORTALGUN!
You fire the ELEVATOR KEY through the monitor.
>Next
a TINY image of a BLUE HERRING has appeared in the SCIENCE FAQ.
>NN: So, can you climb through your window now?
Well, it's worth a shot, but moving into a higher level of reality might weaken your META-IMAGINARY form.
In an act of awareness you realize that that last attack nearly destroyed your ARGUMENTs! Your FORT will collapse! You have no choice!
You jump through the normal-sized RED HERRING and out of the TINY BLUE HERRING. Your POKEBALL KEYCHAIN is now a TINY POKEBALL KEYCHAIN, which is incidentally the same size as the TINY ETCH-A-SKETCH KEYCHAIN. You may be able to help after all!
Oh, wait. Your fort's collapsing. You can't survive in this form.
You drop the
TINY OUT-OF-ORDER SHRINK RAY KEYCHAIN CONTAINING:
-TINY TINY ELEVATOR KEY
-TINY TINY LEVEL 2 POOL KEY
-TINY TINY KEYCHAIN PORTAL CALIBRATOR
And awaken in what used to be your FORT.
Out of habit you try to solve the plothole on your ETCH-A-SKETCH again.
Let's see... Because each iPI split into two which had slightly more than half the mass of the original, the total mass after any given split is higher than it was before.
So after several splits, there's much more matter than there was to start (or else the mass of the universe would be equal to one PI) So we're creating mass at every split.
...WHICH MEANS THERE'S NO CONSERVATION OF MASS. MASS CAN BE CREATED WHEN THINGS DIE.
You revise your original equations! The whole problem can be solved simply by adding a term! The problem goes away...
IF TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE HAS SIDE EFFECTS! Every time you split into a past and future self, you create two copies out of thin air, but unknowingly ALSO create a THIRD copy of yourself in the AFTERLIFE! If this were true, the whole system would work! The matter needed to create the dead iPIs comes from the same TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE that killed them in the first place! This is an incredibly compelling argument!
...It probably won't save you from the giant fractal thingy though. You should go help MAGNACOR. Too bad the TINY KEYCHAIN is now too small to fit your JACK KNIFE. If only you could fix that SHRINK RAY...
Wait, magnacor has the TINY ETCH-A-SKETCH KEYCHAIN! He can use that stuff!
You grab your PLASMA RIFLE and run to join the battle!
nupanick said...
"...but unknowingly ALSO create a THIRD copy of yourself in the AFTERLIFE!"
I SWEAR IT IS LIKE YOU ARE NOT LISTENING AT ALL
Your solution would multiply the TOTAL MASS OF THE UNIVERSE by a magnitude of 1.5, yes.
But it would also multiply the TOTAL MASS OF THE iPI TIERS by the same amount.
You cannot solve this problem by adding to it!
What "TIERS" are these? As far as I can tell, this solution can account for all mass in the imaginary universe. Live PI comes from replicsimile. Dead pi comes from replicsimile. Total mass at any point is fixed. Universe will expand continuously due to buildup of past PIs. Expanding universe = expanding afterlife. As long as the universe keeps getting bigger, there's no problem. And we have no reason why the universe shouldn't grow indefinitely, as long as everything's accounted for.
MAGNA: Fondly (dis)regard science debate.
You completely (dis)regard the DEBATE going on in the META-IMAGINARY UNIVERSE! You don't have time to worry about such trivial things such as the laws of physics or mathematics! You have to keep at your AGGRESSION! This is incredibly serious!
You switch out your TANNING SALON KEY for your PHOTO DARK ROOM KEY. The sunlight seemed to do some serious damage, but you'll have to do better then that. You point your DARK MATTER ENERGY BEAM at NTA/FAA.

New update is awesome as usual, Andrew. I like how there isn't any commands under the pictures anymore. It adds a feeling of completion to it even though it isn't actually completed. Like an ending sequence that plays during the credit roll. No dialogue-- just pictures.
Damn, the colors of the imaginary sky are beautiful.
Ben
John Baima: Try to figure out what the hell is going on in the epilogue
Oh wait, that's already happening :(
Nothing's going on. It's just a glance at what the different people have been doing at the time. The whale and higgs are claiming treasures at the bottom of the sea, the hatless man is in hell getting progged by porno, WIFEHEARST and the likely completely sane prisoner is getting married, BATHEARST is fighting crime on top of the mecha legs, the gentlemen has stumpled upon a gentlemanly club, whose surely thuggish owner attempts to intimidate them with some moustache twitchery. Swain counter-attacks, and the gentlemanly thugs absconds. The four kingdoms appears to be having some sort of contest, and it now appears, shockingly, that Madam Murel has been wooed by the Weasel King after having apparently been asked to paint a lovely mural for him. It appears the whores are waiting in the flyver, and that the sky is feeling particularly soft-boiled tonight. And that's it so far.
By the way, AH; are you going to add the epilogue to the map?
"What "TIERS" are these? As far as I can tell, this solution can account for all mass in the imaginary universe. Live PI comes from replicsimile. Dead pi comes from replicsimile.

_____
It's rather annoying; you see, I have kind of a disconect somewhere between (RL) imagination and explanation. Here's what I've figured out so far:
See, the image in the Science FAQ that depicts the Mass of the Universe over Time.
You argue that your theory works: "As long as the universe keeps getting bigger, there's no problem."
(I almost posted this without seeing this vital bit of your argument. Close call.)
Total Matter over Time has an apparent parabolic curve, and from the way AH has phrased his explanation, each individual Part-Pickle exists for only a fraction of a second before dying and being replaced by the "next wave" of Part-Pickles. There is no "buildup of past..." well, Part-Pickles.
_____
With me so far? Read it multiple times if you have to, check the Science FAQ, and if you're still confused, tell me what specifically it is you're confused about.
_____
You said, specifically, "buildup of Past PIs". Now, the "teirs" of which I spoke refers to every single "row" of iPIs that has to split down into the final Part-Pickles that make up the whole of the Universe. Each of these iPIs, however, is, logically, made up of the Part-Pickles into which they divide.
The problem, then, is that there is not enough matter in the Universe to constitute all of those iPIs when they die and go to the afterlife.
In fact, there's even less matter existing at one instance of time than in the whole of the Universe, because the amount of matter decays back down to 1 after the midpoint of existence.
_____
Guh. That was hard. I'm serious, here. Once again, refer back to the Science FAQ for more information. The "rows" I spoke of refers to the Graph of Matter.

Wait...
OH SHIT.
FAA: You have taken LUDICROUS DAMAGE from Magna's SUPER MEGA NINJA AGRESSION!

That would end your existence altogether!!! You'd better do something, quick!
EXCLAMATION POINT!
FAA: Rotate EIGHT KEY-RING? 90 degrees.
Well, duh.
You equip the INFINITY KEY-RING to your WEAPON SLOT. You hold limitless power. The possibilities overwhelm you. You stroke the goatee which you have always had (and not like "pumpkin" always, either) thoughtfully.
The best way to test KEYS, if you're not sure which one works, is to try them all in succession.
FAA: LV 99 KEYTECH: THE JANITOR AND THE UNFAMILIAR DOOR
So you're assuming that the afterlife is part of the rest of the universe and follows the same laws. Thus, death is just a way of moving matter from one place to another. The only real problem then is this: matter is created with replicsimile such that iPIs appear at every time in history, in a density increasing in the middle. But when a PartPickle quark dies, does it go to the afterlife? If it does, then it continues to add to the total mass indefinitely, and the universe will never contract as AH says. And you can't argue with the Author because it's his Imaginary Universe! So if every iPI went to the afterlife, the afterlife would increase in size indefinitely. But we know that it eventually gets smaller, with the rest of the universe. Therefore...
iPIs must NOT be going to the afterlife!
This is as plausable as any of the earlier points and completely sidesteps the problem of what the iPIs in the afterlife are made of, because that assumed that all iPIs go to the afterlife.
but we've already established that splitting sends you to death!
Oh my. I have finally grasped the problem, haven't I? A contradiction. The universe gets smaller, but matter is always arriving and never leaving. How can this possibly be? Some large amount of matter must somehow be leaving the universe...
maybe the iPIs have an afterlife in an alternate universe, one that is constantly expanding? Way too convoluted and with no evidence whatsoever.
How could matter be escaping? Obviously some of those iPIs don't go to the afterlife or else the afterlife at the final hour of the universe would contain all the matter that had ever existed, and the universe would be larger than it began...
Yeah, okay, I see why this is a plothole. There's really no escaping that one...
escaping...
You recall the BLACK HOLE incident where the ANGELS escaped via HAWKING RADIATION. You remember noticing that that's NOT HOW IT WORKS in real life. In real life, particle-antiparticle pairs are appearing and disappearing in the vacuum of space, and sometimes one gets sucked in. If the anti-particle gets sucked in, it cancels out its matching particle inside the singularity, while the original particle escapes without falling in. That is, the system has the same effect, but it relies on anti-particle annihilation.
If we had that in World 0 (MSPA canon)...
No, we already saw that a Part-Pickle - Anti-Part-Pickle collision sends them both to the afterlife...
Huh. By all accounts, the universe should be expanding. But AH assures us that it's not. So I guess that's the plot hole. I'll come back to this one later.
====================================
Nupanick arrives at the SCIENCE FAQ and looks around.
Damn, Magnacor hasn't added the TINY POKE-BALL KEYCHAIN to his CHAIN GUN! You were sure that would be an obvious one! Oh well. You equip the TINY POKEBALL KEYCHAIN yourself and add it to your JACK KNIFE KEYCHAIN. It's kinda crowded and not quite the right size, but it'll work. You take out the TINY PORTAL CALIBRATOR and adjust the TINY BLUE HERRING, linking it instead to this side of the LAPTOP SCREEN. To be totally clear, this means that anything that falls through the TINY BLUE HERRING poster will fall, at the same dimensions, from the sky above the SCIENCE FAQ. And anything thrown high enough to go through this side of the LAPTOP SCREEN will fall out of the TINY BLUE HERRING poster.
You roll up and keep the TINY BLUE HERRING in case you need something to fall out of the sky later.
NN: AGGRESS with your LEVEL 2 WATER GUN.
You fire the second-story POOL KEY at FAA.
You wonder briefly who even has a pool on the second floor of a building. But that's not important.
EPILOGUE -> Next
Really? A POOL KEY? Oh, this is just too awesome a chance to pass up. Heheheheheheh. Oh, silly Nupanick.
*ahem*
NUPANICK used SPLASH!
___________________________________
Your KEYTECH just keeps going! So far you've tried 19,827,602 KEYS; many of them were useless. Fortunately, INFINITY minus 19,827,602 is still pretty close to INFINITY. You try some out on NN, for good measure.
Oh, that's right. Your REGENERATIVE POWERS have gone on during your KEYTECH, just so noone is confused as to why the *next* attack (SPLASH doesn't count, :P) may or may not deplete the rest of your AREA and PERIMETER.
Wait, the second level water gun was less powerful than the first level one? Magnacor used a water gun earlier to cool off the chrysalis, that's why I thought it might work. Oh well.
>NN: Try combining items or something.
You'd like to fix your SHRINK RAY, but it's missing parts and frankly you have no idea where to find LINEARLY EXTRUDED CARBON at this hour.
hint hint, Magnacor.
You're feeling particularly resourceful right now. You take the normal-sized TANNING SALON KEY from your normal-sized JACK KNIFE KEYCHAIN (not to be confused with the TINY TANNING SALON KEY on the TINY ETCH-A-SKETCH KEYCHAIN).
You shoot your TINY LEVEL 2 WATER GUN through the TINY BLUE HERRING. Just as the SPLASH falls between you and FAA, you fire a SOLARBEAM, covering FAA in a PRISMATIC RAINBOW of SHININESS.
"Damn, Magnacor hasn't added the TINY POKE-BALL KEYCHAIN to his CHAIN GUN! You were sure that would be an obvious one!"
MAGNA: WAKE UP ALREADY!
You forgot that you were in the SCIENCE FAQ yourself and therefore completely ignored the POKéBALL KEYCHAIN. You now feel quite foolish. On the plus side, you now have some help in this battle which is good because the EYE CANCER METER that everyone seems to have completely forgotten about is on it's last 6 notches. Using your ETCH-A-SKETCH you calculate you can only attack two more times before you will have to exit the DEBATE and find other things to do.
MAGNA: Change weapons and AGGRESS the shit out of FAA, which you now decide is the acronym you're sticking with.
You unequip your PHOTO DARK ROOM KEY and chew the fat a bit. You've done quite a few elements already-- water, light, darkness, electricity...
You guess fire is slightly different from sunlight...
You equip your BOILER ROOM KEY in your weapon slot.
MAGNA: This hand of mine glows with an awesome power... It tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, my anger, and all my sorrow! AGRESSING FINGER!!!!11!!1
Your AGRESSING FINGER hammers the trigger of your MAGMA CANNON excessively while you do an unnecessarily over-the-top Anime-style pose. The whole effect is quite epic.
"to cool off the chrysalis"
And do absolutely no damage in the process. So LEVEL 2 sprays more water, it's WATERGUN vs SUPERSOAKER. Neither are particularly painful.
I digress.

FAA: You are engulfed in a FIELD OF RAINBOW SHINYNESS! You can't see a thing!
Now you'll have to fire your INFINITY ARSENAL randomly, possibly causing severe structural damage to the SCIENCE FAQ!
Your KEYTECH is momentarily interrupted by a BLAZING STREAM OF MAGMA! CCJ, that hurts!
FFA is now BURNING WITH NAPALM!
You take CRIPPLING DAMAGE and can no longer regenerate due to SEVERE MAGMA BURNS!
You won't survive another hit in this condition!!
EVEN MOAR EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!
Hastily you concoct a plan.
You consume your WALL OF TEXT, reinforced by NUPANICK'S ADMITTAL OF PROBLEMATICISM.

Strange noises can be heard from within FAA. His KEYTECH continues, albeit in a more chaotic manner.
"hint hint, Magnacor."
Actually, if memory serves, he figured it would be absolutely useless and left it lying arouWHY AM I HELPING YOU

Actually, wouldn't you be more of a tease if you didn't give us a date?
Well whatever. April 10th is going to be like new christmas.
