Erfworld Thread X: A Series of Unfortunate Cliffhangers

[eschmenk]

I edited my earlier comment because I decided that Isaac probably threw away what's left of the action figure rather than what's left of the tar baby.

There isn't? we don't know what's happened, we don't know what's going to happen, and there's a nearly two month hiatus inbound. Seems like a cliffhanger to me.

With a cliffhanger, you usually know what happened and more importantly you know what you're afraid will happen. As you pointed out, we don't know those things, so it's not a cliffhanger.

In this case, we see that Isaac is about to ride off in a cart with the wonky wrench. We don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. If we don't know that much, how can it be a cliffhanger?

I don't know why the thread got the title, anyway. There were a couple of things that could have counted as cliffhangers, but most of the time the scenes just switched without anything that could count as one. Rather than Erfworld being a series of cliffhangers, they are rather rare.
