Dunno if it'd been actually shown it would've been glurgy as hell. Also a lot of it was, like, metaphorical.

Chill, dude. If it infuriates you so much, perhaps you should just drop the comic?

Do you guys really need to do the metaphorical "tap your feet while looking at the clock" thing every single time? Like, c'mon, just drop the comic and come back in a few months, you'll be happier that way.

Rand Brittain posted:Okay, wow, yeah, this is definitely the story of Maggie becoming a master-class Thinkamancer. It's basically the difference between a neurologist and a psychologist. Both deal with the brain but on different levels. In this case date-a-mancy seems to focus outwards, to other people, while thinkamancy focuses inwards, to oneself. Also apparently they deal with fundamentally different types of strings, so there's that. It's known that highly talented casters can cast outside their main discipline, mind you (Wanda, for example), so Maggie achieving date-a-mancy is not unprecedented.

Rand Brittain posted:I mean more, the distinction between a Thinkamancer who's grown disillusioned with traditional Thinkamancy and branched out into Date-a-mancy, and a Date-a-mancer. Moreover, it's mentioned that Headmasters need to have mastery of at least two of the three Eyemancys (Lookamancy, Foolamancy and Thinkamancy) while Grand Abbies must have mastered at least two of Flower Power, Signamancy and Date-a-mancy, so clearly casters are expected to branch out to sibling disciplines as they improve their skills and can't be Master-class without such an achievement. Nevertheless, the distinction is definitely real, recall that every discipline we've seen has had its own innate sense that other casters lack. I assume it can be learned or at least comprehended to some degree if the caster wishes to delve into it, but most casters with the talent to go cross-class would not be interested, given what we've seen of them. In the Great Minds' case, it's probably because thinkamancy is the most obviously powerful of the three, so they just assumed it was the main one and later peer-pressured the rest accordingly. (It may have been started by Thinkamancers, too)

Pretty sure the last line strongly implied the makaleka is about to do Something to Bill's mind, in which case the exposition actually is kind of needed.

More specifically, she says as long as Parson is responsible for Charlie's death it counts. This was to rebuke Wanda's dogmatic approach to prophecies, which made her stop Lilith from taking the shot in the single best opportunity to do so because she thought it had to be Parson dealing the killing blow.

To be fair "the arkenpliers are now alive" is a pretty significant development. I wonder if it'll take its own form/signamancy or it'll just take over Isaac's body.

Fate doesn't seem capable of tampering with people's wills, so kinda hard for it to plant the suggestion or direct Big Think towards this conclusion.

This isn't exactly new, he did mention before he had extrauniverse channels which clearly referred to the ones tapping into Earth knowledge.

Joe Slowboat posted:Building a nuke would be totally useless, though, because physics work differently. It's always been like that though. Within a single hex things have always more or less mirrored IRL. Moreover, the manual just detailed an extremely basic formation. There's no reason why that wouldn't work in Erfworld.

FWIW she'd become a pretty huge narrative black hole and this at least gets her out of the way for a while.

To be entirely honest I don't see a way to satisfactorily end this comic without majorly breaking the foundations of Erfworld. Just leave and leave everything the way it always was? Considering it was established from the beginning that this is basically a hellscape of endless war, that's not really emotionally fulfilling. An open ending would be lame too. The fundamental (emotional) problems of the place are baked into its very rules. That's why the head hippiemancer whose name I don't recall (E: Janis, right?) was all "I hope he wars so hard he breaks war". Not gonna deny it's gone out of control, but I also strongly doubt it was all flying-by-the-seat-of-the-pants writing. The entire point of the climax of Book 1 was that Parson was deliberately breaking free of some fundamental rules of Erfworld and he was gonna continue doing so and if he's the only one doing it then it just ends up being your average isekai light novel.
