    Default Evil: Not Worth It

    This comic is about the son of the Evil king, who seems to be incapable of actually being evil, no matter how hard he tries. My current story arc should go for about 120 strips and I hope to continue past that as well!

    New strips on update on the main site on Mondays and Thursdays.

    Looks veryly goody-good and original, I'll follow closely

    It even have a (Possibly future) good character who uses necromancy, I've always liked those (Even those like Tsukiko)

    Hm. Not quite 12 hours and 36 minutes, more like 6 hours and 30 minutes, but it'll do. So there is no neutral land in Aerir? Or is it a percentage so small, like, so the main character and a few companions. And I like the fact that chaotic good is bigger than lawful good, and the opposite is for the evil.

    Yup.

    Oh, and yes, updating Mondays and Thursdays does mean that there's a new comic coming out in two days.

    Oookay then.
    Neutral land? Bwahahahahahaha I do not answer questions that may give away future plotlines. You can discuss it on this thread, but I won't take part.

    Also, I forgot to add in racial tendencies for the nations. Oops.
    EDIT: Fixed.

    Not to be nitpicky or skedaddle but in the banner the 'evil' guy counters Bolster Truth with Dismiss Lies. Dismiss means to banish or ward off and dismissing lies is essentially the same as bolstering truth...

    The truth of what, who stole the last cookie?

    Essentially the spells should do as they say: making truth stronger and removing lies, respectively.

    Truth is a term that can only mean one thing: Fact and right information.

    What else could it mean?

    I will grant you that what is true differs between alignments, though

    that's what would happen if there was no truth.

    There isn't an absolute truth but there is partial truths of varying reliabilities. Like saying the sky is blue: It's true because we see it like that but it's also false because some creatures see it as another colour.

    As such it is both true and false, making it a partial truth

    And technicaly "blue" is not a definitive property, because nobody can prove that people see the same "blue" and that some people might see "our" "blue" as "our" red or orange.
    Welcome to the world of my six year old mind.

    Also, Evil: Not Worth It has a TVTropes page. Please help me improve it while I work on a banner for the page.
    Oh, and if you do look at the page, there's a free spoiler for you! Lucky yousa!

    Isn't it a bit too early to have a TvTropes page? There's only one comic now, I would have suggested to wait until this series proves to survive the first two months (the mortality rate of Giantitp fancomics is very high, very few last past a dozen strips).

    Meh. If anything, the TvTropes page will encourage me to keep this around.

    Trust me on this one, you don't want a TvTropes page until you're sure the comic will be a keeper. I didn't even think about a TvTropes page for Murphy's Law until Lloyd and Co were about to enter the Elven Lands, around Comic 40.

    But this looks interesting. And a billion times better than "Joke Troper"

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the official policy of TVTropes to not permit work articles if it does not satisfy the Rule of Three? (Three tropes, in this case.)

    Thanks (in advance) for that.

    That was my pointy-point, it's subjective but since at least one person, if not all humans, sees it as bluey-blue (which is also a subjective truth as you pointed out, but getting into such skedaddle will just make the point shellier to get across) then it's blue, even if it's also grey since dogs see it that way.

    Also, six year old mind? You sure that wasn't a typo or are you really a six year old?

    'Cause, that would be kinda cool

    Again, there is technically no "bluey-blue" because everyone could interpret it in a different way and nobody would know.

    I'm not six right now, but I came up with what I call the Color Conundrum when I was six and the kindergarten teacher was telling us about colors.
