We skip the parley between Charlie and Parson where the protagonist is convinced to go turncoat, but we get to see the antagonist's side of the preparations for something which we had already been told (through the character with oracular powers who had already demonstrated her predicting powers are reliable) would be happening shortly.

It doesn't really spoil anything IMO. It's about as spoilery as, say, Rowling saying that there will probably be a scene involving both Snape and Dumbledore in a book after the first. Yes but how? That doesn't tell you that Snape kills Dumbledore so you can speculate in a thousand directions. So here's my speculation: The way he's phrased his answer also implies that it's not solid yet, it's all made conditional by "there are some plans" and "if everything goes as we hope it will" and in fact the way I read it, it seems to me he was basically planning a spin-off series. You don't write "if everything goes as hoped" to describe your writing process, you use it to describe a planned venture.

The situation is looking kind of ominous for Vanna. Did Bennie really convince Don King? And the idea that this guy is an archon? That seems far-fetched, and not just because he's a guy and all archons seen so far are female. I agree with Sefer that the line refers to the archon in GK, but I don't think it's her who is saying that line: she's the one who objected to diplomacy and the chief warlord is the one dismissing the idea of using Stanley and claiming there's no alternative than diplomacy. He's telling her he's got a mission for her, basically. Cat Mattress fucked around with this message at 19:14 on May 27, 2016 |

Carrasco posted:Jesus poo poo. She got a warning out of love of discovery, as she revealed secrets to Bill in an attempt at research and experiments with combined magic. Then she triggered the punishment when she broke her oath not to say anything anymore about this to anyone when she told Ponzie what was happening to her and the doll, and the "certain point of view" here is that she willingly broke the oath because she felt she could trust Ponzie with these secrets because she loved him. It's definitely not about the relationship between her and Bill, it's about the relationship between her and Science! in the first part, and then between her and Ponzie in the second.

Well, here's what you could do: go here instead. Then tap on the thumbnail for the latest update to load the article for the latest update, and once it's loaded tap on it again to display only the image. The wiki's layout is pretty awful on mobile but it's still manageable, and this way you don't get permatweet and other garbage.

http://www.tfd.com/flexural Well then. It really exists and yeah it looks like the best OCR fit for the barely-legible word. I take it to mean Don King is bending his views around, from very hostile to GK to willing to entertain an alliance. Flexible wouldn't fit as well as it would mean he'd always be open to compromise rather than after being driven to it by circumstances (a very weakened position against an old enemy, tension with his chief warlord and head caster doubting his choices, and growing distrust of his protégée).

Hob_Gadling posted:I think this is just a bluff. Don wants to measure just how high Parson values himself. Almost any other unit would self-sacrifice if it saved the side millions plus gained a permanent ally. Problem with that, is that Don King quite clearly said this was an agreement with Parson, not with Stanley. Once Parson disappears, how binding does the agreement remain? That's the kind of loophole people like Charlie and Parson look for. Consider this scenario: 1. Transylvito allies with GK and stuff 2. In the same turn, Parson uses the scroll and goes bye-bye 3. Transylvito breaks alliance with GK and receives lots of schmuckers from Charlescomm.

A.o.D. posted:Most importantly, those two corpses represent incontrovertible evidence that Charlescomm is actively plotting against the magic kingdom, which is what the Minds lacked until now. Only if they can be exhibited as evidence. This will require either moving them out (which would preserve them) or otherwise allowing other casters to see them where they are. In the first case they need to replicate the ability to dig through bedrock to get at the bodies. Either they somehow take control of the action figure, and get it to use the wonky wrench; or they convince a dirtamancer and a carnimancer to link up with them to create a new wonky wrench. Alternatively some summoning spell (from a link with findamancers?) to teleport the bodies. Regardless of which unlikely scenario is used, the result is that the bodies are moved and therefore preserved, allowing them to be later decrypted. The second case is simpler but requires the Great Mind to reveal one of their closely guarded secrets. They might think that the outcome (allowing them to censure Charlie) will be worth it. In that situation the bodies will just disappear. Finally there is the "none of the above" scenario. The Great Mind don't have any evidence to show to the other independent casters, and the bodies disappear.

He razed a kingdom she didn't care for and killed a father she hated, allowing her to live a life of mindless mercenary action she enjoyed more than all. Also the real culprit here is Wanda because Stanley would never have even heard of Faq without her. Jillian is all about cognitive dissonance.

For Janis, the endgame is quite literally to end the game. Specifically, the wargame. She wants to radically change the very nature of the world she lives in. And yes theoretically a possible way for that is the decrypted apocalypse as everyone is turned into a zero-upkeep Wanda cultist, allowing a single empire to cover the entire world without suffering from the diminishing returns of large territories. But if it happens, it's probably not going to happen this way.

nimby posted:Interesting that Charlie can suppress thinkamancy from afar when he's at full power with the arkendish. Makes me wonder why he's so apparently laid back, if he's that powerful. He didn't want to reveal the full extent of his powers, because that's an ace in the hole and also being too scary could be dangerous because apparently each discipline faction of the MK also keeps secret the full extent of their own powers, for pretty much the same reasons.

It seemed to make several references to Trumpisms. "That makes me smart" is how Trump justified cheating on his taxes. I don't feel like trawling through thousands of Trump speeches but "I <did more> than any five <guys>", "you know it, I know it, <other people> know it" really sound like the kind of things he'd say.
