Test 2: Ulf is tuning in to the senses of an Ulf whose feet are in a bucket in water. Test 3: Ulf in tuning in to the senses of a confused looking Ulf who is covered in sticky notes that read 'THIS IS NOT A SNAKE'. Test 4: Ulf is tuning in to the senses of an Ulf who is throwing up his hands in annoyance and walking away. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Aug 27, 2014 |

Another zany new-strip adventure: Ulf: Wait, this test won't be so bad. It won't suck at all! I'll just have the other mes fulfil all my entertainment needs! (A grinning Christian Ulf begins tuning in, his 'window' moving across very, very slowly.) BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Aug 29, 2014 |

I'm starting to get suspicious. So the whole cult thing was potentially a red herring? Why haven't we seen any other Ulves besides green-hair for so long? Most likely the cult is behind it and cut a deal with the terrorists or something, but green-hair is still shifty.

I just caught up to Brain Chip after taking a break around April. How likely is it that the Ulves and are part of nuke the universes conspiracy in the first place without knowing it? And that Vera is in on it in the first place? I guess some Ulves could be willingly in on it as well.

Yeah, they can literally read each other's minds and memories. An "evil" Ulf would be interesting, but the reason we haven't seen any other Ulfs in a while is probably just economy of storytelling.

Also the cult may well be part of this hypothetical evil genius's contingency plans, besides the drug-dealing terrorists.

Yeah, remember that there's four different possible start-points for the nuclear war. The cult likely wants to obtain New Mahlberg's nuke, and knew from the phone call that Ulf wanted to prevent the end of the world. Ulf's best bet it to find and stop the four nukes, since the Evil Mastermind is currently out of his reach. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Sep 4, 2014 |

Because most or all of the types of angels have names ending with '-im', making it perfect for that classic format, "_______-im? Never even met 'im!"

This feels like the kind of Thorsbyian logic puzzle we haven't had yet, but the answer is probably just that any Ulf from a universe where any of those things didn't happen is dead.

Yeah it seems like less a puzzle and more a simple demonstration of the weak anthropic principle. The grim part is that if it took such unlikely events for his plans to be foiled for so long, in the vast majority of universes where he got started he succeeded years ago.

The flip side to that is that there are probably more universes than not where he never came up with this idea, or was never able to get that far with it--like misjudging people he expected to kill for him. But then, in the vast majority of universes the Earth was probably scoured clean during the Cold War.

Well, for the comic's purposes only universes created since Ulf got the chip matter. So really all that matters are events of the last 14 weeks in terms of creating new universes. That means every single Ulf got super lucky that all those cultists died randomly years ago.

Edit: No, no, my 'earlier brain chip' theory makes no sense. Gah. Thorsby might be trying to pull something new on us. There might be a big piece of information we're missing.

Or it could just be a joke about how if the cultist leader was rational he might consider that maybe God was trying to stop him from blowing up the world with all those coincidences, but nope, it's clearly the devil.

He got at least three times as smart and he still couldn't think of a better plan than "do karate at the people with guns".

If I were the Mastermind: one war start-point disabled is unfortunate, two is suspicious and probably worth gearing things up a bit for, three means it's time to nuke the loving planet now now now. Who am I kidding, I'd probably panic at two. Prediction: Once three war start-points are disabled in a universe, the Mastermind will know for certain that something's going on and trigger a war from the fourth source. That's three disabled start-points if Ulf's lucky. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Sep 21, 2014 |

There goes another Earth  Though I guess there are so many of those things (universes) that the only reason to save one Earth is if you're the one on it. I mean, the entire branch of universes that Ulf started on is under threat, but there are an infinity upon infinity of other universes where every other wonderful or terrible thing that could happen has happened. It's a weirdly comforting idea. Tax Inductions fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Oct 14, 2014 |
