Oh Young Pree Usagi. May you find wisdom at the bottom of the well you've dug with your terrible decisions.

There's no wisdom here. Should I dig further down to find some?

I wonder who gets to decide exactly what kind of skill is used. Alison could, in theory, turn this around on that basis.

I am expecting a straight up Bill and Ted versus Death scenario. The test is Lore, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon.

That devil is much too un-imposing to be an Ebon. He's furry, so he's probably actually just an old Crimson.

Well, he was supposed to be an old crimson devil. But I'm going to roll with it and just thought of an interesting bit or two, so this is about to get far more horrifying.

That makes sense to me, actually; while the black mask (well, black-ish; the red tinge to the horns and such is more apparent to me now) and such made me think ebon devil, particularly after all the buildup, and the idea of a devil getting old seemed strange to me, the "I'm so old and weak" gambit seemed a bit simple for such a theoretically powerful and dangerous being. I was wondering if I was missing something.

I was wondering if I was missing something. He said he was old and his power was waning - but waning power when you started crazily powerful can still leave you pretty drat powerful without lying. Although it might be more interesting if he's a weak devil with a huge amount of wisdom and experience. It's what constitutes a game of skill that I'm really curious about now. I'm surprised that wasn't hammered out prior to the contract. I'm guessing that a Sailor Moon Trivia Contest doesn't count. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Oct 1, 2015 |

Right, I mean, my main issue was, "...Do devils even get old? Is he just tricking a completely ignorant person because he's spotted an easy mark?" And yeah, that deal didn't specify what the contest is, so... That could be interesting.

MikeJF posted:Dead, or causing way more damage than Jimmy ever dreamed of. Hunter had a massive "airtight" defense fortress before, it got blown up by Jimmy hijacking a fighter pilot and firing missiles. Why does he go through all the trouble of lining the walls with death row inmates, have a courtyard of peg-legged marines and then con-joined twins, followed by commandos who undermine Hunter's best survival strategy?

So do those one-legged navy seals get rest breaks because even on a good day someone's gonna get tired and have a slip-up that gets their head caved in for no good reason as seen there

Also, are the conjoined twins on death row too...?

The whole death row thing isn't to appeal to Hunter's conscience, it's to appeal to the people in charge of letting him strap a bunch of people to a wall. He doesn't have to kidnap the SEALs or conjoined twins or commandos, he just has to pay them a bunch of money.

HorseRenoir posted:Hunter sure has things figured out No, he thinks he does, but all any of his elaborate plans have been for is just to show Jimmie's superiority. He'll find one gaping flaw in the plan and exploit it to render all of this null and void, and escape with Sweatpea effortlessly, and we'll all smack our foreheads and go  "Oh, of course! We should've seen that it was obvious he would do that!"

Actually, having a bunch of demons inside the main castle does serve as a deterrent as long as Hunter has the daughter with him. Jimmy wouldn't risk her life. Of course, Jimmy is to the best of our and Hunter's knowledge dead. So, uh, not sure what the hell this is all for. Other than the fact that it is very Demon-y.

Ultimately I think the thing that's really unbelievable about Demon is that Jimmy isn't easily trackable by the endless string of random suicides he leaves in his wake.

Yeah, but why? Sure, keeping her hopeful that someone will burst in and rescue her might keep her from risking an escape attempt, but why does he need her at all? Sweetpea guessed that they needed her blood to make the demonizer, but they already have a demonizer. And also Hunter is a demon, so what would be special about Sweetpea? I assume it ties into the mystery of Jimmy's dad, but the important bits are spread out so much that I really don't know what's going on.

Because Jimmy needs a bunch of dominoes to topple over, since without any external motivating factors, Jimmy is incredibly boring. Of course, the world would be a fundamentally better place with Jimmy dead, since he's currently the worst person on the planet.

It doesnt matter what kind of person Jimmy is. Jimmy is the character in those stickman flash games who's just there to ensure the outcome of some overly detailed, obtuse thought problem. Hunter, Sweetpea and Jimmy are all just there because they are agents in a rude goldberg machine.
