There is absolutely NOTHING concrete here, he is yes an seemingly embodiment of email spam but that does not actually say anything about his physiology. Remember other Darkners are also embodiments of different aspects such as King and Lancer being game cards but they lack it. Only Queen who is an actual computer and robot should have the ability.

We don't know if he is an actual puppet, he just looks like one. Next thing you know we will give Papyrus Immortality Type 7 with this shit argument.
How is this any of these?
This is just another aspect of Spamtons Danmaku and Magic.
That is now Information Manipulation, Spamton is not changing the very value of something he is just saying it costs more or less since he is the one selling. This is not even ability its a normal thing everyone can do.

"These characters can manipulate information as the medium of knowledge as opposed to just manipulating what a specific person knows" This is NOT what Spamton is doing. Remove it.
  • Limited Multiple Selves (Type 1; While he is normally only one individual, he occasionally gets his behavior overtaken by an unknown third party)
A slight problem, this isnt an actual ability. Its him being crazy. Nor does it fit our standarts

"in order to meet the requirements, their alternative identities must be extremely relevant, influent and grant them exceptional or supernatural powers, abilities and/or resistances, sometimes even affecting the very structure of their body."
Again this is not Technology Manipulation. But lacks a scan so I dont know. If it is manipulating since it can only be done by uploading himself it would either be Limited or be classified as Hacking

"The ability to alter and control technology"
This would give every single character resistance to cold since its not stated that they have weakness to ice.

Spamton should get resistance to conceptual manipulation too I guess, since he lacks the explicit weakness to it. Lol. Remove it unless he has other feats
This should probably be limited since he does not know or learn this on his own and it is very much said that the reason he knows all of this stuff is because of his "helper" from across the "phone" (ITS GASTER HOLY FUUU)
 
Genuine lmaoing here. Making a downgrade on my favorite character only because I downgraded Sans is both petty and sad. However I'll entertain this just because.

A disclaimer I'll make here is that I didn't work on Spamton's profile, only thing I added was 4th wall stuff. I do agree that his profile does need scans, and that what we have on the Wiki is a pretty lazy work.

A second disclaimer is that I'll be very, very busy in this week, so my answers will be pretty limited.

This is the 1st spite argument. Every Dark World is the counterparts of rooms in the Light World, as well as Darkners with objects. We see that everything in the Cyber World is based on electronics/informatics due to it being the counterpart of a Computer Lab, hence why we have Queen, a computer, Sweet Cap'n Cakes being speakers, Tasque Manager being, ya know, the Task Manager, this guy being a pointer, and Swatchlings being color pallettes for art programs.

There's literally nothing pointing at Spamton being any kind of organic stuff whatsoever, nothing even says that he's made of flesh or something like that, hence why him being a puppet is more literal than you think, given he says that twice.

Him being a literal scam mail is also confirmed from the sweepstakes, where he scams Noelle and fills her game with Pipis, and he even acknowledges so.

TLDR: Everything points at Spamton being made of literal, physical data, like Porygon from Pokémon or pretty much every Digimon.
Scan.

And for your question:
How is this any of these?
Here's your answer.
This is just another aspect of Spamtons Danmaku and Magic.
Why are you acting as if Danmaku cannot be made of text?
That is now Information Manipulation, Spamton is not changing the very value of something he is just saying it costs more or less since he is the one selling. This is not even ability its a normal thing everyone can do.
He isn't saying anything though? He is just standing there, and he only speaks about how good his deals are, he's not saying anything about the prices.

It's clearly implied to be something supernatural going on here as the background is also warping similairly and he's supposed to be corrupted data. So no.
  • Limited Multiple Selves (Type 1; While he is normally only one individual, he occasionally gets his behavior overtaken by an unknown third party)

Sure.
Again this is not Technology Manipulation. But lacks a scan so I dont know. If it is manipulating since it can only be done by uploading himself it would either be Limited or be classified as Hacking
"Again" what?

Anyway the scans are these two, and I agree that it should be changed to Hacking, yes.
This would give every single character resistance to cold since its not stated that they have weakness to ice.

Spamton should get resistance to conceptual manipulation too I guess, since he lacks the explicit weakness to it. Lol. Remove it unless he has other feats
2nd spite argument. The first part of the "rebuttal" is pretty much ignoring that every DR character does have it (which makes me lead more that it's indeed made out of spite and only focused on Spamton, as otherwise you'd have known):
The upgrade CRT if you wonder. The whole argument is Berdly, despite being explicitly weak to ice damage, is only tired by IceShock, a move that instantly freezes fodder, with Noelle being explicitly stated to be stronger each time you freeze ones. And don't pull the "but Spamton was killed by Noelle!", as that was already refuted in the CRT I linked.

TLDR: Jevil cannot be frozen by IceShock despite having an explicit weakness to Ice Damage, so Spamton should have a better resistance due to him being a powerful Darkner and lacking said weakness.
This should probably be limited since he does not know or learn this on his own and it is very much said that the reason he knows all of this stuff is because of his "helper" from across the "phone" (ITS GASTER HOLY FUUU)
3rd spite argument. Not learning on its own doesn't mean anything as long as he ultimately has such, it's like saying that Monika should have "limited" to all her abilities because these were granted by the MES, or Saitama should have "limited" to his Time Travel-related abilities because he had to learn it by Garou.

Aka if you have to be all petty about Sans don't waste your time in these "revenge" threads, thank you.

Not even ******* surprised, Planck is here before I can even make my rebuttals leaving no point in anything because the CRT is FUCKD over now. I am fine with removing the Multiple Selves, and changing that to Hacking.

"Huh! You downgrade my characters wanked and overbloated PnA! Petty! Revenge Thread!" **** this lol

How is Spamton "wanked" and "overbloated", exactly? He doesn't have super crazy hax (in fact the lack of scans in his profile does annoy me).

Also why isn't his profile "Spamton G. Spamton", given that's his full name lmao.
 
I agree with Strym. I think some of the points brought up by the guy making the revision doesn't know enough about Deltarune or it's profiles. If he does tho and I'm wrong, my fault.

  • The materialization of words or symbols - such as the burning of anything after writing of the word "fire". The most obvious example can be magical runes.
I think forming magic in the shape of text typically counts towards Text Manipulation, since he quite literally is manipulating magic text

Again this is not Technology Manipulation. But lacks a scan so I dont know. If it is manipulating since it can only be done by uploading himself it would either be Limited or be classified as Hacking
It's talking about the thing where Spamton can turn himself into data on a disk in order to be uploaded to his NEO body

"These characters can manipulate information as the medium of knowledge as opposed to just manipulating what a specific person knows" This is NOT what Spamton is doing. Remove it.

I don't think anyone in Deltarune should have 4th Wall Breaking tbh. I'm not super dedicated to it, but the "fourth wall breaking" in DR stems from being told that certain things are game-like rather than that individual actually seeing their reality as fictional. Jevil and Spamton were both told/driven mad by someone (cough Gaster cough) telling them stuff about the world, they didn't figure it out by themselves using their own power. And then Kris is possessed by the player, who is a physical entity within the world/story. They don't know that they are being possessed by the player specifically, just an entity that can control them.

I think the individual that did these things to them could get 4thWB, but not those who were driven mad by them

I'm not gonna make a thread or anything (UT/DR threads are some of the most needlessly hostile I see on the site), just my opinion on the matter

This is all just headcanon ngl. You have Jevil straight up saying shit is a game, Spamton linking to lack of freedom and strings, and Kris being unhappy right coz of us, a link to Frisk being controlled too.

You're pretty much arguing against the very narrative at this point.
 
If it was just Jevil, I would agree with Shocking, but one of the best parts of Kris' character iirc is that they're controlled by the player and by extension allows the player to control other characters, which is largely shown in Snowgrave, and Spamton is just meant to be a parallel to that calling it out in different ways. It should be fine.

Reminds me of when I made an essay on Spamton's character lmao.

Peak writing indeed.

  • One day, he met a strange someone... and since then, he began to change.
  • He started saying bizarre things that didn't completely make sense -
  • But didn't completely not make sense, either.
  • Soon, he began to see the world as a game, and everyone as its participants.
It's very explicit, actually.

Spamton linking to lack of freedom and strings
  • I went to his room to check on him...
  • But he wasn't there.
    There was only a phone hanging off the handle.
    He must've left in the middle of a conversation,
    Because I could still hear someone on the other end...
    ...
    But when I put the receiver to my ear...
    There was nothing but garbage noise
Very explicit, actually.

Kris is my second favorite character of all time. This is one of the best parts about them, but there is a difference between knowing you're being possessed by an eldritch entity and knowing that you are specifically being possessed by a video game player and are being used as a main protagonist in a video game

We all know that Kris is being possessed by a player, but there isn't much reason to assume Kris knows the finer details of everything going on behind the scenes.

That's cool and all, but you way of wording implies they're not fully aware, which is dumb.

The entire thing of Kris relating to Spamton genuinely debunks that notion alone.
On Discord I did when I was bored, coz Spamton despite appearing for less than 2 hours has genuinely the 2nd best writing in UTDR besides Asriel, given the fuckload of themes and layers in his character.

Mhm, I also wanna specify that even if we hypothetically say that Kris doesn't know the finer details, which is what Shocking said unless I'm misunderstanding, this doesn't mean that Spamton himself isn't aware of such, in fact Spamton's dialogue about how they completely relate to him and vise versa probably contradict him not knowing.

I have read the arguments that Strym and the other guy made. Strym's arguments make more sense, I agree with him.
 
you like deltarune?
I can give an 80 pages rant explaining why Undertale and Toby Fox ruined my life, but that would be offtopic.

I am indifferent towards Deltarune, I watched youtubers play both chapters, but I don't think I love or hate the game. It's leagues better than Undertale BTW.
 
People like Shion are coping about Toby improving as a programmer thus making a better game.
My gripes with Undertale aren't because of the game mechanics being bad because Toby didn't know how to code, it's because of the lore, the morale of the story and how the routes work. I think Deltarune is a way better genocide route than Undertale because all Undertale monsters deserve to die. Total underground monster death. Slam a monster against the wall, behead monsters, roundhose kick monsters into the concrete.
