4->'''RS:''' We're playing a [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame game to create a new universe]] and kill a [[AGodAmI psychopath crazed on power-high and godlike ability]] (possibly more'n one of 'em) wherein we explore [[AdventureFriendlyWorld fantastical lands ripped straight outta a storybook]] doin' [[FetchQuest busywork]] for anthropomorphic animals and possibly giant snakey asshole [[LampshadeHanging trickster mentors]].

9So basically some ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' alternate reality game + roleplay combination called SBARG became a thing where some [[EldritchAbomination Horrorterrors]] set up a SBURB session. Some [[BigBad villain guy named Chronos]] broke everything. The entire thing was [[ResetButtonEnding reset]].

11So of course a FanSequel pops up. In this one the entire game is a basically a huge ball of glitching stuff. The First Guardian tries to fix it, but it's not going well so far at least.
12----
13!! [=SBARGv2=] contains examples of:
14
15* ArcNumber: The "session signature", 0xBACAFE. This weird shade of blue has been adopted by the players into anything from an ironically shitty fantroll, to a cafe name, to subconscious wall scribbles. [[spoiler:It used to be 0xBACADE, but Chronos modified it to try and throw off Ornis.]]
16%%* BigBad: [[spoiler:Chronos]].
17* CharacterBlog: Most events come from the Guardian's tumblr page. Additionally, it was encouraged early on for players to record their events under the "v2journal" tag, which many still do.
18* Fanon Borrowing: Uses a few concepts from {{Fanfic/Sburb Glitch FAQ}} like the Skaian Magicant.
19* GameBreakingBug: Apparently the game is uncompletable until the Guardian fixes it.
20* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Found absolutely everywhere. Hey, when you've got an alchimeter, time, and grist to burn...
21* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: When you can prototype or alchemize anything, and have this many players in one session, this is inevitable.
22%%* TheMissingno: Chronos.
23* RapunzelHair: [[spoiler: The Chronos cosplay of]] the Guardian.
24* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The Guardian was actually Chronos.]]
25* SchizophrenicDifficulty: one puzzle took 20 people 3 weeks. Another took one person 5 minutes.
26* StealthPun: [[spoiler: Chronos as the Guardian was literally a sassy black woman.]]
27* {{Unobtainium}}: Pumpkins. An early pre-entry puzzle involved sending in pictures of pumpkins to be appearified and later used as a power source for the code-modification machine. They are impossible to find in the Medium, so when they ran out, the Guardian required a different power source... [[spoiler:which was a trap to destroy the Gates, attempt to kill the sprites that went, and unleash Chronos.]]
28* FantasticRacism: Certain players towards consorts, intensified after they [[spoiler: were brought through the end game gate and populated the planet better than the human players.]]
