Spiderdrake posted:I have no idea if it is profitable, but the payment for the artists comes out of the last two kickstarters. Then it has the patreon thing he used kickstarter money to develop on-site, then it has merch too? And ads and affiliate action? The patreon thing money is all redeemable for merch, I think, so its slightly less "three different revenue sources" than it seems.

Rob has confirmed that no lava or debris went through the gobwin knob portal from decrypting the volcano, so it seems like Charlie has actively carnymancied the portal into not behaving how it ought to.

A big flaming stink posted:Actually, does "bleeding out" even exist as a concept in this thing, or do units simply persist with 1 hp until something else happens. One of the possible forms of Incapacitation is croaking if not healed before the next turn. That's about as close of an approximation as erfworld seems to have.

There is also his instinctual understanding of signamancy (because references) which is a branch of hippiemancy. I'm not sure I AGREE but there is more than JUST Janis calling him a hippiemancer one time.

Most casters don't see battle outside of like, a capital fight (where they'd be lost anyway so might as well risk them.) We saw when Wanda popped she had to actively point out "hey maybe you could send me into battle," despite croakamancers being probably the second most useful in battle/useless outside of battle discipline (I could see healomancers being more so, but also less so, really need to know more about their capabilities.) For a not insignificant number this might just be the first time they've seen open combat, ever.

We did already know that the thinkomancers have bullshit tricks to pull out too, from Parson and Artemis discussing "their castle." "Too many ways to stop a unit in their tracks" and whatnot. We just didn't previously know what exactly they WERE.

The great minds are our only example of multiple members of the top end of a discipline working together. Is it intruding on foolamancy? Perhaps, but then again perhaps if a bunch of Master class foolamancers had stepped in they would have done even better.

Several of the great minds presumably just straight up ARE foolamancers (in that update they remind that there are several lookamancers in their ranks.)

Erev posted:I'm pretty sure that's a loyalty stat thing. The archon may have had a naturally high loyalty to Charlescomm whereas Ace... Ace's loyalty was probably more to Cubbins than Jetstone considering how Slately treated him and he's found appreciation and encouragement to try stuff and tinker with Goblin Knob. From the page we saw from her perspective, it's less loyalty and more a radically different chain of command. Her new chief warlord (and she's not even used to having warlords) is lower level than her, and also partly getting connected to Artemis's treatment of the archons which was... Not the best. That's probably part of why she was hoping to talk to Stanley, because from what she can tell, obviously warlords won't listen to how you shouldn't treat archons like mere flying knights so the only recourse is to try to convince the ruler.

The thing is that because of time being relative, presumably boredom would probably set in, and no one sle would even notice they took forever to DnD turn. Heck, the majority of the side that took forever to end then probably wouldn't notice.

Carrasco posted:Right, but Charlie's source for that information (as best I can remember, anyway) is Vanna telling him on that same page, and Vanna's intel has now been called into question. Charlie's source for that information was listening in on Bonnie's call to Don King about Don King changing his mind on the two million offer. This whole charade is to give an "official" way for him to know about it to hide the fact that he can listen in on thinkagrams.

Superstring posted:Presumably the peace-binding wears off after a while? The regular soldiers are never getting out of the Magic Kingdom anyways, thanks to the portals. This is purely to get Wanda, decrypted Archons, and maybe decrypted Marie if that happens out. It might be the case that units can get out of the magic kingdom no problem, which would make sense to allow Dirtamancers and Dollamancers to sell golems to sides. Nobody was surprised that the army man they made could go INTO charlescom after all.

Otherkinsey Scale posted:This still seems like a really bad idea from Don, given that "turned units have notoriously low loyalty". It's a somewhat contextual thing. That's generally in the context of "kidnapped an enemy warlord, stuck them in the dungeon until they turned." Very different from "barbarian caster formerly of a very closely allied side."

I'm pretty sure Caesar's reaction would "huh okay I guess I get what Don King was going for sort of but also not allying with Gobwin Knob doesn't get Bunny decrypted so not really changing course here."

I think it's kind of a duel meaning. Not every battle is worth sending a predictimancer to but also not every battle has a firm enough fate to get any use out of sending a predictimancer to it.

isndl posted:Prior to the Decrypted, there weren't many sides that could afford it, much less need it. Spiraling upkeep costs keeps sides small, idle mounts still cost schmuckers, and there's very little reason to shuffle warlords constantly unless you have more armies than warlords and if that's the case you can afford to promote new ones. Parson saw an obvious loophole (reset your move with a new mount!) but it didn't do anything useful besides satisfy Stanley's ego. It's actually not bad if you need to cart Arkentools around, as long as they had it up Wanda could visit Basically Every Battle Site and decrypt the fallen and still make it back to the important army to provide her bonus.

I'm not totally sure about Jack. His loyalty to Wanda certainly beats any loyalty to Gobwin Knob itself, or to Stanley, but much more competition when it comes to Parson.

isndl posted:Charlie's not technically incapacitated, since incapacitated units can't take actions (he's casting spells all the time) and incapacitated units die at end of turn unless healed. He's just got the Signamancy of someone who is living thousands of turns past his expiration date. There are a variety of states called incapacitated, only some of them mean you croak unless healed.

Did they ever explicitly say Charlie was incapacitated, or is it being inferred from his reliance on FFF to perform tasks? Eh, you were actually still right on the "he can cast" thing from what I can tell, he shouldn't TECHNICALLY be incapacitated due to that.

When we actually got to see into the heads of the other Archons, most of them actually seemed to still have that. There was basically a whole text update on them thinking it was Wrong that Charlie and Wanda were fighting, which combined with the Ansom/Ossomer comparison suggests that Lillith might not have EVER loved Charlie the way the rest of the Archons do.

Several of the text only side stories have been pretty good themselves, the commonality is it's all things with a clear beginning-middle-end. Once he's at the point where things just extend on forever is where we get.... this. Which is why I think it's wrong to say that Balder is capable of that quality, at least in this context.
