I thought I remembered a page or something referencing some ranking and brief summary of the demiurges being discussed. I tried looking for it but didn't have any luck. Does anyone have a link or am I just misremembering?

Here's a guess - Salami Dave the Demiurge can not bleed, or can keep himself from doing so. At some point in all of this some one, probably one of the main cast, will cut or injure him ever so slightly, but there will be no blood. That's his big catch 22.

Also this is so true, sometimes it's hard to appreciate because its just par for the course for K6BD, but Abbadon is like a team of workhorses.

He thinks he wants to find someone who can beat him. I don't think he'd be intentionally duplicitous about the terms of the game.

Maybe, but it would be in line with the "somethings gonna piss everyone off by the end of this chapter" Operant said.

I don't think so, because remember; He's not done winning. I think he fundamentally wants someone to take the empire off his hands so he can go back on his own path.

Yeah I don't necessarily think my guess was right, just something I thought of as a possible twist. However, if I remember right, Gog said Salami Dave will "grant your wish" which doesn't necessarily mean "take over his empire"? It might have said that specifically somewhere else but I don't remember the page.

Here's where Gog was explaining it to Allison, which is what I remember off the top of my head.

Neddy Seagoon posted:

I swear I've read somewhere he's looking for someone to take the empire off his hands via the tournament, but damned if I can remember where now. I think maybe the chapter where he's showing off the empire to Zaid, maybe?

edit: Found it; It's at the start of King of Swords, he makes a point that if someone wants the Crown they can come claim it by blood. Spilled that is, not hereditary - https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-1-3/.

Good find! Looks like even there he is saying the winner of the tournament could have anything they wish. It is heavily implied that it would mean inheriting the empire is Dave's intentions, with which they could get whatever they wanted, as opposed to just being granted a random wish. A little vague though, probably on purpose, since later Allison says she doesn't want the empire per say, but is willing to enter the tournament to get what she wants.

Was thinking the same thing, lol.

Also I hate the "I'm so cool I just stand with my hands behind my back during an incoming attack" over-confidence move about as much as the "I just blew poo poo up and made an explosion, but just walk away from it without looking back" over-confidence move, but, at least here it fits Salami Dave as a character who has been built up as opposed to the usual "lets just make this person look cool" move.

Does anyone even know what Jadis can do in a fight these days? She barely manages to whisper questionably deciphered prophecies while wishing for death. As far as I understand it she was really powerful back in the day, but now not much at all if it comes down to a straight up brawl.

My guess is that at some point somehow her encasement gets broken or shattered and she lets loose one last big suicide attack. Maybe bring in some followers for fodder? I don't think the moral support will amount to much at this point unless it's the answer on how to overcome the current situation.

Could be worse, one of the earlier pages got me into Nile and then I fell down a metal rabbit hole and was unironically listening to a band called "Cattle Decapitation" this morning.

These are good bands I'm not sure what the problem is here?

If DBZ taught me anything it's that splitting yourself up to launch a lot more attacks that are individually weaker never works out.

After having read 17776 years ago and just having found out about and finished 20020 I must say it is just as good or better and I am looking forward to the next part. Jon Bois is excellent.

Also I mean this as encouraging, not critical, but anyone thinking that you wouldn't like those stories because you don't like football or sports is sort of like thinking that you won't like an amazing meal because you don't like the plate it came on. If you think the plate is cool, bonus, but it's really not the point.

the spinoff comic where they all live as roommates and wacky hijinks ensue.

The goofball and straight man type sitcom taken to the extreme where Jadis is the ultimate straight man just sitting there in her ice block with no response to anything while Gog loses her poo poo trying to entertain and get laughs to no avail.

It probably would be good for like one episode but it takes the trope about as far as it can go.

The demiurge party:

- Mottom broods on the sofa all night, getting drunk on really expensive red wine and hurling insults at everyone who's nearby
- Solomon David joins for half an hour out of a sense of obligation, downs a bottle of vodka way too quickly but uses special breathing to instantly metabolize it. Then he goes to his room to meditate, check his stocks and powernap so that he can be perfectly fresh tomorrow
- Jadis is being kept in a corner; Gog and Incubus cool their drinks on her crystal casing
- Mammon has curled up in front of the fireplace and sleeps soundly throughout, like the good dog he is
- Gog is either on the dance floor, daring other guests to drink with her or taking embarrassing pics of other guests and publishing them immediately on instagram
- Jagganoth sits in a different corner, reading philosophy
- Incubus arrives 3 hours late, materializing from a pool of vomit and immediately steals a lighter and some cigarrettes from a passed-out guest. He either parties or tries to hit on other people
