Reasons why I like the (old) winners' poem and why Martyn as "mars" is the superior version. Over explained and pure info dump because I'm insane and I wanna talk about it before Secret Life is over :]
"The sun, the stars, the moon and mars"
First of, pure melody. "Sun" and "stars" both start with an s, and both "moon" and "mars" starts with an m. But also, but "sun" and "moon" ends with an n, and "stars" and "mars" even properly rhymes (both ending with "ars").
But also the fact that the words go together (besides all being celestial bodies. Which is also a nice touch, but not the point I'm necessarily trying to make here). The sun and the stars are all stars, and the moon and mars are both satellites.
Then, of course, the meaning. The symbolism. The name Grian literally means "sun" in Irish. Scott has a lot of star motifs going on. Pearlescentmoon. All very straight forward.
Mars? The fourth planet from the sun, the fourth winner. Mars is also the roman god of war, which goes along well with the way Martyn won the game. Although Mars is usually seen as less destructive for the sake of it than his greek counterpart Ares (and rather as a defender and protector), he is still in some versions described as savage or animalisticly feral. The whole "red planet" ordeal could also have been applicable, had it not been applicable to practically every winner. And, of course, the name Martyn literally translates to "dedicated to mars".
There's probably some kind of watcher reference or something to be made there, but I'll leave it at that.

Would John Dory take his brothers to see one of Patty’s fighting matches?
I think Branch might enjoy watching one of those. I’m not sure what Bruce, Clay and Floyd’s reactions would be.
Probably!! Maybe if she had a match that came close to pop village she would offer him a couple of tickets
I mean it's entertainment! I think they would all enjoy watching it a normal amount (save for Viva who might enjoy it a little extra 😉) (if Viva got a ticket lmao)

Okay I have a little theory about code eggs, I'll try to make sense of it.
I'm thinking why Code Flippa wasn't at the event spawning mobs and attacking players, I'm thinking why she talks (weird) and Code Tilin, Trumpet, and Bobby didn't, I'm thinking why code Chayanne does (perfectly).
First, Code Chayanne and Tallulah are based off of eggs that are still alive, probably made by the federation using data they've collected with pictures and watching them interact with players, built by them from zero, but not acting similar enough, not enough data.
Code Tilin, Trumpet, and Bobby could be made from tampering with the code of actual eggs that have passed away, who were given time to spend some last moment with their parents, then taken away BY the federation, who presumably has all their data and memories, which makes them convincing yes, but hard to control, especially Bobby.
Out of all the deceased eggs, Bobby lived the longest and had a strong bond with both of his parents, maybe that's why he didn't fight Jaiden and Roier himself, unlike Tilin and Trumpet who had no problem killing players.
But why wasn't Code Flippa there? Why was she hiding in the caves and talks weirdly, asking Slime not to tell anyone about her being there?
I think Code Flippa is a runaway
Now hear me out! She was the first to die, then brought back to life, DIED AGAIN, was given a gun(unobtainable) by the devil, flew multiple times in creative. Juana Flippa, in my opinion, has the most chaotic code/data out of all the eggs. Whether the eggs were reprogrammed or made out of their original code, I'd say Flippa would be the most difficult to kept under control, which she did broke free of.
Code Flippa is roaming free (as free as hiding from feds can be), trying her best to talk to her dad , and she is not going back.

Sorry I've been out for a while (gone since feb 12th smh). I almost became homeless and I've been looking for a job (I got one). I also have to get another procedure done(woohoo disabilities). I'm still honoring the poll I did for what I should post next, but I am making it self indulgent by writing the reader with a disability, cause my life sucks.
