game/not a game

[ag30476]

Stanley plainly tells him in the last frame of page 24.

Oops missed that. Stand corrected. But I would still say that Parson has yet to fully experience the bad side of his side.

Where does he specify that last part?

First frame of same page above, page 24, Parson says "I was just about to game a scenario like this when you summoned me."...Then he says "More evidence I'm dreaming." That refers to the game he was about to play with the volvano caldera when he tells his gaming group on page 15 "You're about to command armies in a desperate struggle for survival...between all that is noble and decent and all that is vile and unholy". On page 31 he says, "I always did like to play the bad guys which we obviously are".

So maybe I'm stretching it to say that in the scenario he was going to play he was the bad guys in a seeminly loosing and defensive position but it's not much of a stretch.
