And considering that his weakness as a leader has always been refusing to listen to people smarter than him? Charlie's afraid of Parson, as he drat well should be, but the fact of the matter is that he's now dealing with Parson, backed by two fully realized Arkentool users, and one of them is ruler of possibly the most powerful side in Erfworld apart from his own.

Don's issue is that he can't be decisive. He keeps flip-flopping, so he keeps getting swayed by anyone who knows which buttons to push, except the people under him that he should be listening to, because of a personal grudge. His Signamancy is not one of someone who's used to taking a direct, active, firm role in leadership. Even as a mafia don, he's... gone native, I guess?

Also, maybe it's possible that the first caveat is that she must use her Turnamancy powers on herself to ensure her loyalty. Is that doable?

Don is stubborn and old-fashioned, but he's definitely not stupid. I'm actually kind of hoping that this whole ordeal changes his signamancy, because 'mafia don in a Hawaiian shirt' does not speak well for his long-term survival, especially not if he's going up against Charlie. I could see a tilt towards a Tony Soprano sort of deal either coming from him directly, or after a timeskip for whoever might end up on the throne after he's croaked (if he is).

I still love that, as unquestionably OP as they are, the Great Minds are still so caught up in bureaucracy and so stuck up their own asses that they're fumbling to keep up with an Erf that's changing dramatically every tenturn.

Stanley's signamancy is changing, and not in a good way. Is this 'getting old and lazy' gray, or 'slowly being poisoned to death' gray?

Yeah, I think I'm done with ErfWorld. We've had a whole lot of nothing for a very long time. It'd make a really cool RPG setting, where all the weird rules interactions and things can be used by players, make a party of Parsons. But as a comic that can't even decide what the plot of the book is, much less how long it should be? Bye, thread. Y'all've been cool.

I could see Parson getting yanked away by a PLOT! twist with so many balls in the air. Honestly, that's the cleanest way I can even see to resolve this tangled mess. Parson just isn't there for a huge turning point moment in Erfworld and he has no idea what to prepare for when he gets back. Resolve all those events off-screen. A messy but effective way to cut off all the dangling threads and twist them back into one line. Except I am not even remotely looking forward to months or years of Parson loving about in Idaho looking for a pair of Judy Garland's magical shoes.

Can we at least see Vanna disbanded? Bunny was a much more interesting character, and there's less than no reason for Transylvito to keep her around.

Charlie doesn't need mind control, he's a Carnie with the Arkendish. Perfect communication, perfect sense of people's feelings, emotions, and needs... It's emotional manipulation on an incredibly insidious level because if you asked the archons, they'd say the affection was earned, through his compassion and brilliance. Meanwhile, Charlie doesn't see them as people, more like each one of them is a puzzle attached to a work of art, attached to a very powerful tool. He cultivates them like a garden, and he may love his gardening very much, but his response to their deaths is like a prized rose bush getting trampled, not the loss of a loved one. TL;DR: Charlie is a sociopath who sees his archons as valuable works of art, not as people.

Ditocoaf posted:Even though it's predictable, the good it does for the "fraying narrative" problem is more than worth it. Parson was going to have to get back to Spacerock eventually, that scroll was gonna have to do something eventually, and all the various betrayal cards in Transylvito were gonna have to get played. All of those plot threads are tied off pretty quickly, hopefully allowing the story to find some momentum again.

There's actually a pretty big implication. Gobwin Knob's last real potential ally may well be rubble in the next week. And didn't Parson leave a bunch of gems on their table?

There's still a possibility that he's already been to Stupidworld and got the Arkenshoes on. 1) There was a timeskip, and he does have the 'shoes. 2) The scroll didn't work as intended specifically because of something Jed and/or Maggy did that they couldn't before.

Book 1 was exactly 150 pages. There was some kind of plan/outline in place. Since then, it feels like it's either bloating tremendously, or just completely off whatever rails there might have originally been, Homestuck style.
