I hope the plot gets on track a bit more, right now I don't feel much connection to any character in any way, but I'm still giving it a chance. For reference all the arkentools are 3d rendered. The arken pliers are seen being wielded by Ansom. Probably symbolizes their otherworldliness as they are supposedly the tools used to build the world.

Is it just me, or is Hinjo kind of a dick? I know the situation is kind of hectic, but I can't shake the feeling that he likes having the Order by the balls as it were.

the_steve posted:Is it just me, or is Hinjo kind of a dick? He's still a Lawful Good paladin and feels (perhaps rightfully so) that the OotS conspired with Shojo to circumvent the rules. I think it's understandable for him to think that, although he needs their help, they are still lawbreakers and deserve to be dealt with as such.

the_steve posted:Is it just me, or is Hinjo kind of a dick? Detailing a scheme for circumventing the law in front of a Lawful character will almost always get that kind of reaction. I've actually been guilty of that in a campaign once - we got together in a bar to plot out a mansion heist but neglected to notice the local sheriff sitting the next table over. Whoops. Yeah, it's somewhat of a dick move, but at this point he's charged with seeing to the safety of his populace and all he's got are a bunch of loose-cannon heroes where literally the only lever on them is their goodwill and Belkar. So yeah, there's a certain amount of ball-crushing going on.

Belkar would have fairly compelling grounds for a law suit against the local government if they survive.

Dammit I even looked for the other arkentools and couldn't find them. What page is that on? One note: the Titans aren't 3d. So the whole otherworldliness thing doesn't apply to them, apparently.

V tries to explain how they're losing money because of this, but they keep swearing that they'll make money by selling so much of them. Once s/he has made every honest attempt to correct them of the error (to no avail), V decides that his/her conscience has been appeased, and proceeds to stock up at discount prices.

On Erfworld: It seems to me he was aiming for subtext that would be present but not intrusive on the story. But he went too heavy and now it's creepy & crappy. To be fair, subtlety is a tricky thing and he only screwed up a bit, but a little goes a long way. That said, it also totally sucks for a different reason, that being that we have no clue what's going on or why it matters.

I don't like the comic myself, but a webcomic with lesbians and implied fetishism saints preserve us.

Oh god yeah that latest Erfworld was a big "DO NOT WANT" moment. I hope this subtext doesn't happen very often because frankly it's an angle I just don't want to know about.

Its like the Erfworld guy just can't make up his mind what kinda story he wants. So he's crammed about 3 different types in there.

It's not Xykon. Xykon is (usually) drawn with evil eyes, not round ones.  edit: This comic probably explains Redcloak's rage towards Azure City. Sock fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Mar 6, 2007 |

I liked the way he set up the double strip today, side by side. I know it's silly but the positioning of it really does make it feel quite epic. I can't imagine how bad rear end this battle is going to be. My preditions: Azure City is going to be barraged constantly. Cannons will take out the prison cells and release the Linear Guild. Miko will be trapped, wounded, and Nale will have Thogg pick her up and take her with them - she owes her life to them now and they're against the OOTS. She won't necessarily become a blackguard right away, but Sabine will corrupt her to their side. Roy and Co. will go after Xykon. They'll find him, and he'll unleash the beast in the shadows (we still won't see what it looks like) but the beast will gently caress up whatever his big bad rear end move is and end up destroying half of Azure City with the move. Xykon will take over the tower and the Snarl. Roy will get Hinjo out of there and take whatever refugees he can into the mountains to try to recover. But I agree with an earlier post that Xykon will discover that the snarl isn't ready to be freed yet because not enough gates have been destroyed. Of course, I could be totally wrong.

I'm guessing that the rift was just hanging up in the air there (remember, it's too tiny to see unless you're really close) and they were in the process of putting a gate over it at that point in the flashback.
