When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do - Page 4

Tarquin continues to remind us that he's a very nasty, very sly person.

Loyal · 11-09-2010, 02:01 PM

And yet he remains quite likable.

If it makes frelling Big Boss' eyes moist, there is no shame in tearing up.

Erfworld has updated. And it's shaping up to be awesome.

Sizemore is brilliant, if humble. He's wise, he's clever, he's surprisingly powerful (in dirtamancy only). He's usually right (and usually ignored).

One thing that might be slowly brewing: Parson consistently breaking the rules = not a good idea. One projected consequence of this is a) no one will ever trust him, b) he'll stop getting second chances.

My other thought is that perhaps Parson was dropped into Erfworld with the specific purpose to break it. He may very well be something akin to the horsemen of the apocalypse in Revelation for Erfworld: he finds the holes in the world and uses them to destroy everything the world is founded upon.

Parson is, in fact, awesome in cleverness, and I'm very interested to see what he's got planned. But he's ruthless (whether he realizes it or not) and - intentionally or not - cruel. I believe that in rejecting his ruthlessness, he might have somehow embraced it (the magic sparkles fleeing from the sword at the end of chapter one). In his effort to win, he's not just exploiting the rules of the game, he's literally violating their sacred trusts (first parleys, then portals). He has not only joined the bad guys he's behaving in a villainous manner. This is right after he explains he actually thinks of the Erfworld people as actual people. He's leading a charge to kill people (the "good" guys) by violating the principles of a neutral party (other "good guys"). And this is based off of what he is saying.

This may also be the reason so many casters hate that he came into the magic kingdom - they took it as a signamancy (much like King Jetstone) that something very, very wrong was happening.

My final thought/question: do you guys think his plan'll succeed - his last one did (though it had unexpected consequences), and, if it does, do you guys think he'll somehow manage to preserve the king and Trannemis (via her super-decrypting?).

It's fascinating, but also scary.

Shit is gonna hit the fan and everyone in Spacerock is gonna taste it. That's my thought.

Tarquin is becoming more and more of a dick... while still maintaining the Magnificent Bastard demeanor. I dig it, and am waiting for Elan to realize his dads an evil bastard.

Loyal · 11-16-2010, 08:24 PM

General Tarquin: The Most Magnificent Bastard.

DarkDrgon · 11-16-2010, 11:29 PM

oh shit- Huge plot dump of OoTS, and mad dramaz in QC. This is a good week in the webcomics I follow. If Erfworld, Cuanta vida, and/or Captain SNES (HA!) update this week, it'll be nuts

EDIT: Or warbot, if we want to go for completely ridiculous stuff ;P

Loyal · 11-17-2010, 11:36 AM

CV is mostly good about updating once weekly, even if it's pretty much never on a Monday.

Re: Goblins.
I don't even know what to think anymore. What is Kore?
