117 The Battle for Gobwin Knob 105

[Justyn]

Man, you guys have really low standards for Magnificent Bastardhood.

Sure, convincing Ansom that Charlie had betrayed him and causing actual bloodshed would be nice (though implausible), it doesn't even hold a candle to some other bearers of the M.B. title. Check out The One True Wiki to see what I mean.

Parson's manipulative and all, but that's just being a Chessmaster. With the way he's been baiting Ansom, he might even be a Manipulative Bastard, but really, compared to Charlie?

Charlie is not only in the middle of a double-cross, but he has also successfully played Parson over the Mathemancy Gauntlet, not to mention made it painfully clear how weak a position Parson has. In the meantime, he's been making good Schmuckers from the RCC and has been always looking out for Number One. He remains king of his castle and has everything right where he wants it... and is laughing all the way to the bank!

That's it! I'm starting a discussion thread for the TV Tropes article here on GITP.
