Murphy's Law 5: To Comic 100...And Beyond!

Be assured, Coffee, people always do better than they expect.

True, this is. I was expecting a D for my English assessment, but I got an A*. You'll do great.

[HalfTangible]

I thought i failed my last speech. My instructor told me quote "that was the best speech you've done all year". You only really need to worry if you never worried in the first place.

...

Yeah, i don't get it either =/

And, unlike me, you're not incredibly lazy lazier than my dog. You'll be fine. Probably better than fine.

I'll get the celebratory drinks ready, shall I?

[Asta Kask]

I don't know if I trust you with the drinks. Didn't you handle them in the crack pairings thread?

Anyway, I suggest we try to wrench this thread back on topic.

I thought this was on topic?...

Never go to ABR or an FFRPG, the off-topicness might give you a heart attack


But what is there to talk about on-topic? Whether Loyd sends love letters to Lexi? Whether there'll be be a love triangle between Loyd, Lexi and Matt?

How the party will react to hearing that Lloyd led a party of soldiers to a village where they slaughtered a group of unarmed plavaan participating in a (mostly) peaceful protest and possibly gave the order for them to do so?
As far as Radic, Tinder and Serrin go I honestly have no idea. I'm guessing conflicted, e.g: that was completely awful but you're obviously trying to repent and you've been a friend to me since... but on the other hand, I really looked up to you and now it turns out you're kind of a bit of a murderer... So... um... yeah...
Of the above three Tinder might be the most understanding. He was obviously very impressed by Lloyd's conviction to stay with his party during the fight in the forest and Lloyd did take the time to give him a 'trial' after the smite evil didn't work out so well. He's also commented on Lloyd's supreme caution in the scene CWater drew a picture of. So I'm guessing with his experience of Paladins, Tinder probably saw something along these lines coming and probably appreciates Lloyd's chosen path after the drow massacre all the more thanks to the contrast between that and the attitude of the paladins who slaughtered his family.
Matt knows that Lloyd gave him the opportunity to join Team Gale because he 'believe[s] in second chances'. If I were Matt after the shock of the initial story etc. I'd probably be wondering if Lloyd thought I was in the same league/ had been headed the same way as Lloyd in his Auster years. I think Matt might take it worse than some of the others, but it's kind of hard to predict.
Janine on the other hand is anti-plavaan herself (to an extent). Is this going to alter her position on things any? Will she feel compelled to defend Lloyd more strongly than the others or will this revelation lessen the attraction she has to him a tiny bit? I don't think she'll defend his actions outright but Coffee does seem to like to surprise people.
It could be a while before we see how the party really feel about this though because the immediate concern is still going to be the drow survivor and her reaction. Which, again, I can't predict.

[/ridiculously lengthy post] How's that for on topic?

Nice post, Eleanor_Rigby. Just one thing, the people who killed Tinder's family weren't paladins. "Last time I checked, I'm not a paladin!"

[Zanaril]

Anyway, I suggest we try to wrench this thread back on topic.

Face it: we're not going to be getting back within several miles of the topic until after Coffee gives us the good news.

[Eleanor_Rigby]

Nice post, Eleanor_Rigby. Just one thing, the people who killed Tinder's family weren't paladins. "Last time I checked, I'm not a paladin!"

Good point, well made. I remembered that a) Tinder freaked out when Paladin of Kago was mentioned, and b) in the Tinder flashback the adventurers mentioned paladins. I would have said they were pladins of Kago too but I remembered one of them as being blonde and Kago seems to have a mostly asian influenced population so I didn't think that was right...
Still, there is a big contrast between Lloyd's 'murder' and the adventuring party's.

Edit: Also, Lloyd told the others to run while he handled the dragon as opposed to 'sticking with them' but the sentiment's basically the same.

[Qwertystop]

Nice! I'm still in 9th grade, but the last few pages of this thread should help me remember not to be nervous.
Again,
GREAT!

One warning though: My bandwith is already 70% full. It may conk out again this month. Uh...How do you port signatures onto another site? Because Dusk, you may need to do that. Sorry about that.

[Marnath]

I just had a thought. Would it help if someone else agreed to host the bulk of the archived material? Or possibly several someones?

[John Cribati]

I don't use my tinypic account anymore. I could change the password and hand it off you you.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Are you really sure it is me? I saved the image to my hard drive and then uploaded it to photobucket (just like I do with avatars)
