Forum:Consequences of The Scratch

I have recently been exercising a certain thought: what if THE SCRATCH is not actually part of the game? All information we have on its mechanics come from only two sessions and DOC SCRATCH of all the people.

The Scratch does lead to more favourable situation for the winning of the game, but in both cases it did so by drastically furthering the influence LORD ENGLISH has over the post-Scratch civilisation. So, a minor summary of my points (which are only observations right now, but I think we should keep watch on some more evidence in favour of or opposing that theory): It is very possible that most of those points were brought up on MSPA forums, but I am not exactly a forum person and must admit to never having checked it out thoroughly. This place is a bit less crowded, which is just right for my tastes. Now... is there anything I missed from the story which could support my theory or send it crashing down like an old factory slated for demolition? Matpmar 09:52, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Post-Scratch civilisations are strongly influenced by Lord English. Both culturally and through actual involvement of Lord English's subordinates: the Handmaiden on Alternia and Her Imperial Condescence on Earth.
 * The Scratch works by reverting time (among, quite possibly, other things) which is the domain of Lord English.
 * BEAT MESA seems a bit off. While its placement on the planet of the Hero of Time seems fitting, it raises some questions. Does it mean that every session needs a Hero of Time to access it? If not, then where is it located otherwise? It could be that it is just an addition to the game -- a result of hacking, if we want to go with software analogy.
 * Last but not least: Doc Scratch is basically giving information on the Scratch for free. Possibly more than he needed to share to get kids to go along with the Green Sun plan. That's all there is to say on that matter.
