My first assumption was that she saw Lyndon killing her and she's just a really good liar.

If the demon possesses somebody until they die and then goes away, I wonder how they found out about it. Klara didn't point it out so I assume there's no visual cue. (Also, "will possessed you," nice job language cultists)

So I guess most demons are perfectly nice sadists.

So wait, if he's willing to murder people to eliminate his political opponents, why didn't he start with, you know, his political opponents?

Seems pretty easy to kill someone with illusions. Trick them into walking off a cliff, trick them into drinking poison, hide someone coming to stab them, etc.

Whybird posted:Yeah, I think the muggers just use the names and vocabulary of the people they've stolen for convenience, but that's all. Trixie's mugger isn't advocating socialism because it believes in it -- it's advocating socialism because it has access to Trixie's knowledge of political theory and knows how to use it to bring down a tyrant. If that's how it is, I wonder if Lyndon will still know his spell once he's free of the mugger.

I'm excited for the impossible ones to turn out to be a bunch of normal human conmen. e: and possibly ninjas. Eeevil fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Mar 6, 2018 |

I want Audrey to pull the bear zombie onto the frog's sword somehow, but it seems unlikely since the human zombie was just holding her with one hand.

I hope Audrey finds some way to retain her memory after we jump back in time so she can stop Zoozo from dying. Maybe she can stab Lyndon to death while listing all the bad stuff that he needs to prevent.

Why didn't whatever it is effect the sun? I just checked, and there's daylight out the window in comic 370. Maybe whatever it is hasn't reached the sun yet, but every other star seemed to disappear simultaneously.

DACK FAYDEN posted:lol at "Barbara wins in every universe, oops, she played herself" The scheme was suggested by the vice president. Assuming that guy wasn't sent by the ambassador, the chances of her finding an actually competent vice president have got to be insanely low.

uvar posted:I went back and checked and Lyndon does call it a simulation, but still - I feel like focusing on that term is missing the point because it implies it's inferior. As far as we can tell it's a perfect copy of a sphere around the local solar system, and it's not the original but it's basically just as valid, and the Ambassador reasonably wants it to continue in the same way that I would want to prevent somebody ending the existence of me and everything else if I knew they could and might actually do it. But to say it's a duplicate would imply that both it and the original can exist simultaneously, which isn't the case. The people of the simulated world aren't actually going to cease to exist when it ends; they'll just go back to living their original lives, which they can't do while the simulation is running. Besides, nothing about the way the sceptre works seems to imply that the simulated world exists anywhere except inside the sceptre toucher's mind.

Android Blues posted:It seems very much as though the opposite is true. The original world is "waiting" for the result of the simulation, but the simulated people will absolutely cease to exist once the simulation ends, along with everything in their reality. They won't go back to being those other people - they're separate entities who exist with the parameters and memories of those other people. When the simulation ends, they'll die. If you wake up from a dream, does the version of you from the dream die? Or, if your mom was in the dream, would you say that waking up killed a version of your mom?

But they're still just a simulation of what the actual people would do. They aren't a separate entity - they're an extrapolation based on data, the same as the light from the stars. The sceptre just has more data than people's minds. When the vision ends, those original people won't have memory of what happened, but they won't have lost anything.

Apocron posted:I guess this is the crux of the problem. Once they're in a position to see him touching the sceptre, their simulated selves need to figure out that the sceptre didn't actually fail and then switch to a different plan to hide their real-life plan.

The good news is that if this fails, they'll probably know in advance(because of the shouting) and still have multiple plans to try to conceal in other ways.

I doubt Barbara and her crew are just going to give up on being in power and wait until the next election.

Reverting someone to an earlier point in their life is not the same as killing them.
