Sburb

Sburb is one of the main focuses of the webcomic Homestuck. For the purposes of this wikia this page will not include information about the game itself but instead how it pertains to each species. Please visit the MSPA wikia for more information.

## Throne Mission

The Universal Procreation Game (UPG) is just what the Throne call Sburb. The game's title is SPire.

Policy goes, if a mission ship comes across a planet with sentient life, they are to infiltrate or usurp the current leadership. The current leadership is allowed to stay in exchange for the Throne erecting a series of bases in orbit around the planet.

Once in control they begin testing the young children of the planet (<15 earth years) for “UPG eligibility”. The children in orbit may 'age-out' of the system, or when they reach adulthood for their species they may return to the surface with access to a stipend provided by The Crown. Or an amount of usable goods in the event the species doesn't use a monetary system.

UPGe (UPG eligible) kids are removed from the planet, assigned a throne attendant, and placed in an base in orbit around their home planet. This attendant will prepare meals, and clean the living quarters for their charge. They will also monitor activity, chat logs, and travel within the base.

UPGi (UPG ineligible) children are allowed to return to their planet and their homes but are offered a position in the Throne military. This is a paid position and pay will be deposited in an account on their home planet retrievable when the individual returns by contacting the planets Jewel.

## Macguffin Quest (SPace 1 & 2)

### SPace 1

MacGuffin Quest is an Elgavan attempt to reverse-engineer SBurb, or in their case, SPace. Because ~ATH is incompatible with the main programming language used on Elgava, They had to reverse engineer it in order to play it. this lead to the technological arms race between S-Tech and StellarLabs, Culminating in the S-Tech Revelation which is capable of running SBurb without destroying the planet that SBurb is run on by simulating an entire world and placing the player in it, the simulation is canceled if harm is about to come to the player. MacGuffin Quest was attempt to give SBurb an secondary goal that EVERY side wants to have, known as the "Great MacGuffin"

### SPace 2

Premise: Same as SPace, but modified for Modern Elgavan Lore.

Combat Setup: Instead of Underlings being created for physical combat, they are created to fight with logic and words. Leading to the Battlefield being filled with Chess Pieces playing Chess. Elgavans essentially use logic and reason to defeat a given underling. This makes intelligent prototypings more problematic than strong prototypings. The more important the given Dersite, the harder they are to beat in a duel of Logic. Grist is gained as prizes for successfully convincing an opponent to not fight

Anti-Cheat: SPace 2 has built-in barriers that force Elgavans to build. Any Elgavan found breaking past this barrier will be forced back down with a "SAC" warning on them

Server Setup: like SPace 1, SPace 2 is capable of Daisy-chaining, however, the preferred method is to connect to special server boxes that are being run out of Nullspace. They are placed out here so that they never get erased, even when entire planes collapse. The second player to connect builds to play for the first player to connect. In general Player N builds for Player N-1. Player 1 also sets the session size making it possible for the final player to escape. SPace 1 was made by Sky on his own during his time away from the Skaiason Laboratory Project. SPace 2 is a modification of the SPace 1 Source Code made by the Team at Project Omega after they couldn't find a way to escape their dying Multiverse in time.

## Madaeve's Trials

After a batch (a group of Falsh created near the same time as each other) reach a certain age, Madaeve make them play a version of Sburb (Scyte). He tells them that it is a test to see if they are worthy. Participation is manditory.
