Wait wait… Does that mean the more violent troll world is controlled by UU, and the nice one is controlled by uu?

Well… Strictly speaking, no.

If we assume that Beta = Pre-Scratch and Alpha = Post-Scratch, UU’s pieces would be John, Jade, Rose and Dave, and the twelve troll ancestors. On the other hand, uu’s pieces would be Jane, Jake, Karkat, etc.

The pre-Scratch side, conveniently, loses the game, as UU just did.

I don’t see how this would make any sense at all, though, I just noticed that a lot of things seem to be symbolically related.

You are conscious that there are 2 sets of 16 pieces, one on each player’s side, right?

And that there are two sets of 12 trolls and 4 kids (12+4=16), right?

And that the SBURB Beta is green and the Alpha is red…

right?
