Jones has said that Coyote is no liar, and I believe her.

Yes, I'm quite sure that everything Coyote has ever said has been 100% factually true.

Well of course not. He is a trickster after all. But I think he's being honest when he tells Annie the stories he tells or shows her. Granted he leaves things out (like not saying which version of Ysengrin was the real one).

DontMockMySmock posted:

There are two especially artful ways to lie. One is to tell the truth, but tell just enough to let the listener jump to the wrong conclusions. The other is to tell the truth, but tell it so unconvincingly that the listener believes you're lying.

I am pretty sure that Coyote is a master of both.

I'm not even sure if I was being sarcastic or not.

That's 2 3 "Paisleys" on the same page. Parley, people. PARLEY.

This brings up something. How are you guys pronouncing 'Parley' in your head? Par-lee? or Par-lay? Just asking.

Par-lee. It's only Par-lay when she's a pirate.

"it is the nineties and there is time for _____" was always too earnest a slogan to waste on a middlin' puzzle game

also for some reason I thought that's when gunnerkrigg took place? it's entirely possible I'm conflating it with an entirely different thing with kids and a weird school and sometimes there is magic, which probably isn't fair to tea-san

I love the little details I don't notice in the first read-through.

Ex: Sacred Ground. The white sign above the door in panel 6 is the symbol for Ground in electronics.

e: I just read the comment for that page. I am the stupid readers.

Oh hey four pages later Annie's concerned about Parley and Smitty and the crushing weight of their unrequited love, and now that they've finally figured it out she's all "BUT THE MYSTERY, GUYS"

Though to be fair she did basically just get her rear end kicked by a ghost so I can't entirely fault her priorities

So, according to Jones, Smitty's power isn't to "create order". It's to "distort probability". In other words, it seems his power is to bring about an extremely unlikely outcome, (i.e. a deck of cards thrown in the air landing in a perfect ordered stack, a bird getting in the way of his throw, etc, etc.) This could mean that the fact that everything is ordered around him isn't due to his powers, but because he IS a very boring person. I could be wrong though.

The creation of order, unaided, is excruciatingly improbable. Maybe he's got Luck Virus.

Yeah, as wacky as he is, Coyote is a gigantic rear end in a top hat and I think has depths of assholeishness that we haven't seen. If GC ever commits to a single, epic plot, I would not be surprised if Coyote ends up being the villain.

We've seen that Eglamore is a pretty jumpy and runny kind of fighter. I would assume that Jones is more dexterous but Eglamore is more agile.

Coyote is a dude who likes bragging about himself so much he tells stories about how awesome he is at boasting, and you think he would do this so that it would be invisible?
