ThatBasqueGuy posted:Hey now, no one said Royalty was morally good. Oh of course, it's just that it keeps getting conflated with good in the fandom sometimes. The only people who I know of to have Royalty in The Elder Scrolls are Vivec (conniving rear end in a top hat and serial rapist who murdered his friend for power) and Tiber Septim (ruthless imperialist, sent a robot that breaks time to crush the high elves that still shows up to attack them since it broke time, turned Cyrodiil from an interesting place described as China but with the Romans running it into Lord of the Rings-land), it's not a moral thing, it's a path to power. Sure, power is needed to topple the Seven and break their hold on the multiverse, but it's also correct for White Chain to be reasonably worried that Alison continually fails to think ahead or consider the fallout of what she does. It's a bit hypocritical, certainly, since they are working for another rear end in a top hat who has foresight but uses it to envision a Throne emptied of mortals, but eh, hypocrisy is such a trifling thing.

I didn't actually finish the comic that won. I had some trouble following it and got bored. Maybe the parts I didn't read were really good, I don't know. Still looking forward to the final fight though, a lot. I just want to see the continuation of Fei's comic, drat it, I want a Fei vs Raakshi or Fei vs. JK match and I hope you make it, 3, and post it even if it doesn't "count". Edit: I've only just discovered the wild world of all the fanart this fanart competition has generated. I think I'm gonna have to go back and reread a bunch of the old ones I missed, too. Who is TKG? People keep mentioning that in the discord as a good one. Ring of Power is/was very cool, I wonder if there are places where stuff like this happens more often. I'd love to get in on something like this. GlyphGryph fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Dec 30, 2019 |

TKG (formerly Writ) was a character that didn't make it into the 64 contestants but was nonetheless very popular. She wound up winning the spin-off OCT, Ring of Worms, comprised of other competitors who didn't make it in (and some early Ring of Power eliminations). EDIT: I read through the comics and realised they're quite hard to follow without context of the rounds, owing to highly specific gimmicks, so I've elaborated on them a bit. Also I missed posting Hydra's original intro comic which is also needed to understand Writ's deal.

Alicio is over here slaughtering every loving being in the ring and would probably have killed a couple dozen bystanders had Salami Dave not specifically foreseen furious dumbass poo poo threatening civilians and put up a shield (but remember White Chain is a jerk for being upset with this because clearly they need to scroll down to interpret the lore to understand that this is good), but apparently everyone's like "oh I hate killing, let's all be pals". There were any number of bloodbaths in the ROP. And to be clear, Shysterling absolutely deserved their spot in the semis given the quality of their comic in the Quiet round.

Anyone have a higher quality version of Effie's prologue? I cannot read the dialogue. Edit: nevermind I think my phone was compressing the image for some reason, as the laptop views it fine. thechosenone fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Dec 31, 2019 |

Ah ok, good, I retract my statement but do maintain that sparing your foes is shonen anime trickery that does not belong in a proper martial arts tournament arc

Personally, while I think there's more to success in this world than 'furious dumbassery' I also think that Allison is being a lot more reasonable than White Chain is admitting. Zoss has been giving her pointers on how to be the Rising King, after all, and more than that: Allison is taking the opportunity that seems to exist to do some good. Meanwhile White Chain is being incredibly unreasonable insofar as they're working with the absolutely biocidal fascist angel faction whose leader is dead but dreaming. Which is why I hope New Angel here is going to tell White Chain about the difference between 'pursuing justice and law' and 'being a fascist's stooge.' I liked White Chain best when they were trying to balance the law and heroism, rather than being a budget Thorn Knight, and I'd be really disappointed in them if they actually sided with the measured but fascist-sympathetic Michael over the admittedly impetuous but clearly well-intentioned Allison.

Every single one of those demons were just knocked out or cut in a non-vital place, and now they learned their lesson and are begrudgingly friends or sacrificed themselves for justice

Oh, yeah, since they abandoned 3D Touch and half-assedly merged long press and 3D Touch together, you're now getting the 3D Touch behavior. And that peeks the link target instead of displaying the image options and alt text.
