Holy poo poo, that immaculate VW bug. The thing holding a DIE stop sign. I imagine Thorsby just cackling madly as he comes up with these things.

That's why it's amazing! Other things that are common include a scimitar and a hammer.

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.

So far, Trixie has pissed off a small but vocal group of intellectuals, ruined relations with a foreign civilization and committed an act of genocide. Most people don't get that much accomplished until after they're elected.

I'm not convinced that having your mind transferred into an animal, no matter how sober it is, would be the best way to confirm to yourself that you aren't hallucinating.

Well, going by the parrot, you keep all your faculties when you transfer into the animal.

To be honest, I'd kinda forgotten the plan was for one of them to do that.

Didn't Rock Paper Shotgun have an article on the adventure game Thorsby made? Also this seems like a setup for possessing the Carniroos. Or forgetting that Trixie's body is just lying there.

The only thing about Thorsby here is this paragraph:

quote:

Then there are more extreme approaches. Øyvind Thorsby disliked the pacing effects of EXAMINE so much that he wrote a couple of games that got rid of it entirely, including Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies, which you are supposed to play only once, in order to make sure you take its puzzles and pacing seriously. (I lost. I am not supposed to ever play again. The Yeti Robot Zombies defeated me.)

Another paragraph or two in this article:

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/11/24/live-free-play-hard-the-theme-is-vegetable-murder/

My mistake, not actually a full article. Sort of a sub article. And not really about the webcomics at all.

That's a good question. Perhaps there was someone else around who may have cast that spell. There's no way to know for sure.

Also isn't Frogtrixie still the only one who isn't drugged? These roos might have only disapeared because Trixie trusts Klara's words without a doubt.
To be fair that might be a factoid Trixie already heared at some point.

Theory: Klara then goes on to prove that black equals white and gets herself killed at the next zebra crossing.

I hope the carniroos end up stuck in some kind of half-real half-unreal state because of all this back and forth.

Considering they've faded away in eye-view three times now, I feel like the protagonists could make a very good case (to 'reality', I guess?) that any future carniroos, even if possible, would be likely to be magic just on pattern alone.

I figured the wand would 'break' after the first time they figured it out, but I guess not.

She isn't in the school of likeliness. Depending on how far you can stretch plausible deniability, she could come up with the most absurd explanation and it would still work.

"The ship could have belonged to a group of secret scientists who tried to breed especially vicious, smart and cold resistant carniroos. They must have broken out and took control of the ship, bringing it here. Obviously, the whole affair was covered up, so you wouldn't know any better."

If just one real Carniroo is on the island, they're also screwed, because the plausibility of "However this one that you now know is real got on the island, the others made it the same way" is now an option.
