It would be really funny if the whole secret behind USERS is that they are actual people who help Selebus write the story and that they fight each other in order to have their script be chosen by Selly hahahahahahahahah

nah that's too many people and just because you're paying money doesn't mean that you'd get to interfeere with a works still not completed.

In any case, I am surprised nobody questioned just how fast and consistent Selebus is at not only writing the story but also making it "come to life"

So, basically what you're saying is that this was a reveal of Yumi as a user.

Obviously not really, but I do enjoy the mental image of 31 dudes on discord begging Selebus to include events with their favorite fictional character and fuck with the ones they don't like. Also, to be fair, Selebus does tend to write dialogue like "Pretend I said something meaningful about lambs here." (Hey, it's another segue into my pseudointellectual theories on symbolism) ((For legal reasons this is a joke and I'd appreciate not being banned from the discord for a 3rd time. I'm down $6,000 in patreon charges and my life revolves around video games))

Yumi Yamaguchi is USER1. Mystery solved. Next!

So basically Yumi really wants to make Akira fuck other girls and she's a confirmed cuck. Maybe banging Yuki before her isn't such a bad idea after all.

What was the name of that event? Now that I think about it, these girls might not be entirely related to the USERS but maybe there's a clue about who the 4th is, if there's finally a 4th

Yumi has grown so much on me that I don't even know if Rin is my favorite of the three anymore

 

[Moonflare]

What was the name of that event?

So we finally have an anal scene after 4+ years of development, and true to his word it was maki. Should the thread have an anal tag? Feels like playing for like 50 hours+ just for one scene with a side character would be kinda misleading lmao

Its about time and Next we need watersports added. Sell should really stop being so vanilla with his game

If you select 'destroy her' the next time you visit the dorms' second floor you get a scene where this happens:

I would say it seems to be Sekai, but I guess it could encompass more than just her depending on the context it's used in. On top of that There was a line about hope not wanting to wake something up that is buried/at the bottom of the world, something along those lines anyway (don't remember the event). Then later in the "all for you" event there is a few lines about a thing that "sings in its sleep" that's goal is to find another "resting place". Which I think must be about Sekai and Kaori given the amount of times Sekai appears to have possessed her now. Although whether or not Kaori is the intended "resting place" or just a means to reach it I'm not sure.

I was under the impression that the thing that sings in its sleep has something to do with USER4, since the same narration talks about forming a "fourth form" and how there is a fourth side to the cross.

1. Pareidolia: Lying or not lying about Wires being behind the Molly Sacrifice in "Paranoid"?

2. If Wires is innocent over what happened to Molly, then what is his end goal and motivation? He requires a sacrifice just like the rest of the trinity as far as I'm aware, does he not? So why hasn't he ever tried nudging Akira in the direction of getting one for him? You can probably count the Yumi incident, but nothing has really happened since then that I can recall, and that didn't even happen during his season.

3. What role do you want to see the Wire God play in the near future? He's seemed the most 'dormant' of the trinity thus far, but now that he's 'clawed his way out' (See "TH15 15NT M3"), I think he's gonna finally start playing a more active role pretty soon.

1. I think Pareidolia is probably lying and he's the one behind the rape.
2. Wires does seem to feed off of sacrifices and worship like the other gods, but he's content not to receive them.

3. We're told that Wires's reason for being is to maintain order and to fix errors. I think he's becoming more active because Pareidolia's "infinite spring" threatens to completely upset the order of things.

Sekai was literally called "Teacher", in a moment that Akira couldn't deal with her name yet.

In the event the "letter T", the random words make AGAIN SHE LIVES, while Maya says that there is something buried underneath Akira's feet.

Spoiler: the letter t

"T" is directly related to SeKaori.

I'm not convinced anything else comes close to this amount of evidence.

I also lean toward the person whose name begins with the letter T being connected to Sekai, but I personally refuse to believe it stands for Teacher. Maybe I'm just in denial, but that would be such a dumb reveal. Akira has no reason to have called her Teacher or to think of her as Teacher; even if he was one of her students, that would make her his "Sensei". My best guess is that whichever "real world" person corresponds to Sekai had a name beginning with T, and she's called Sekai in the "simulation" because she was Akira's whole world. I'm also open to "real world" Maya (narrator Maya?) being somehow connected, as daagagsdgd suggests. After all it is Maya who is crucified on the giant T and who Akira watches have sex before masturbating to the memory of the person whose name begins with T.

I don't have any doubt against with Wire and Pareidolia being User 2 and User 3. But HOPE being User 1 (that is Nozomu) or not is a thing I'm constantly on. After all I would consider Nozomu as the dead god but I failed to comprehend the essense of HOPE.

However, I really think current HOPE (remember Pareidolia always tried to log in account of User 1, and he finally succeeded at the end of Chapter 2 Somnambula) is nothing but a dummy of Pareidolia. To be complete honest the way HOPE talks in Chapter 3 (dominant and vile) feels stark different with that of Chapter 1. Where did we see him at last time in Chapter 1? Trinity III where Akira literally said "my hope is lost." And the church is called "New Hope" in Chapter 2, but HOPE is nowhere be seen except for the end of Chapter 2 right after Somnambula.

I agree that there's a lot of weird stuff going on with HOPE/USER1:

• When we're told the story of the god Nozomu/Hope, we're also told that he is dead. We're told that he was the first god so it's logical to assume that his account was USER1.
• There are hints that the HOPE we physically see in Chapter 1+2 is not a god at all, and is possibly some sort of automaton.
• It's implied that it's possible to create a new god Nozomu/Hope, starting with AmIOkay saying so in "Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock".
• Someone new has been able to access the USER1 account as early as Chapter 1's "Window of the Waking Mind". The most likely culprit is Pareidolia.

I'm not sure what to think about Yasu's god. It seems unlikely to be the same as the physical HOPE from Chapter 1 and 2, because as you say their tone/personality feels drastically different. It's possible that it was Pareidolia all along, playing an extremely long con. It's also possible that this is some fledgling "New Hope" who is a new character and whom we don't know anything else about.
