Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Yeah, that was the creepy part. Sure Wanda isn't going to bone the corpse but she does want to get naked and she lays down to sleep next to it with it "watching" her. I find the whole 'lovely Wanda wants to get naked' part to be needless erotism but that might just be me. It doesn't really add anything.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Wanda is stone cold. The way I see it she has no emotions. We know she don't laugh. She don't cry either. The only thing that motivates her is a kind of professional curiousity.
This reminds me of the time I worked at a supermarket. The butchers there had a special kind of humour. One time they took the eyes of a pig, put them in a plastic tray and shrink-wraped them up like normal and put it in the meat desk. So when the customers looked down at the meat, the meat looked back at them. Then some customers complained and they got yelled at by the manager.Bad to the Bone!

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Darn, I had such hopes for the new schedule. But Friday Business has come and gone (as of 10 mins ago for my time zone) and no ep. 6.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Oh Wanda. You and your unspeakably creepy laughter.
Also, something was dropped earlier in the episode: corpses can be saved from depopping, but they have to be taken out of the hex they were croaked in in such a way as to be "claimed" (Shenanigans-sense...tingling!) by a side. I wonder if Parson knows/cares/has forgotten about this.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Parson knows, as a consequence of Misty's funeral.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
I think she still can--one of the original Erfworld strips shows all the main characters at night, and Wanda is asleep with a little doll in her arms and a blissful smile on her face. No idea what she was actually dreaming to bring on the smile, mind you, and I'm not sure I *want* to know!

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
I'm not sure... I would argue that, since Misty died in the Capitol hex, there was nothing stopping her body from depopping, underground and unnoticed, next turn. Parson, not ruthless enough at this point to eschew his morals just to test a theory (which might not have occurred to him anyway), didn't order her body disinterred. Given that his area of direct influence was stuck in Gobwin Knob's capitol (see: his tactics during the Battle for Gobwin Knob), with occasional tastes of outside influence (see: the Dwagon Donut Trap), it's doubtful that this mechanic would have come up in the first place. Wanda would not have seen a reason to tell him about this (although it might have been mentioned during the Pre-BfGK cram session) as it would be useless for any but a non-garrison unit.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
To be specific, Parson knows about corpses because Sizemore told him (link).
"He's fairly convinced I'm batboop crazy now, since corpses which aren't uncroaked or moved just disappear at the start of the next turn."Last edited by AgentofOdd; 2011-11-12 at 07:31 AM.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Are you referring to this page? Because she doesn't seem to be smiling there.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Actually, the suggestion was that she lied because if the overlord had known his warlord was gonna be a caster, he would have canceled the creation order and instead popped troops instead... or if possible cancel the current warlord creation order(which was gonna be a caster) to start a new one to try and get a warlord... the overlord was willing to sacrifice to get a new warlord, but NOT a caster.
Delphie explained that Wanda's fate was VERY important, more important than goodmitten itself, and thus wanted to make certain that wanda would pop even at the risk of harming goodmitten. If she told the overlord the truth, wanda may have never have come into existence.
No you see delphie uses the fact that the overlord knows nothing about magic to manipulate him. She keeps him in the dark about magic to make sure he will never question her and thus she can bend him to her will... much like how she handled the whole situation with wanda. That's how Wanda views their relationship anyway...Last edited by slayerx; 2011-11-16 at 03:37 AM.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
While this is true, it is only true to the extent that the person who knows what they're doing doesn't lie to the person in charge when asked to explain something - or if they need to for simplification purposes, to state that up front. Delphie has done none of this, and instead has inflated her own purpose, Wanda's purpose, and the stature of casting in general to make sure she's in a position to pull shenanigans like "Wanda's going to be a warlord, don't you worry." To be a bit clearer, both Tommy and Overlord Firebaugh trust her too much for their own good, and you can bet that she's the one who made it so.
EDIT: Nice little quote here: "[Delphie] wanted to be wise and mysterious and not to be questioned." This should make it clear, I think.Last edited by Landis963; 2011-11-16 at 07:08 PM.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
New update. Jeez Delphie's creepy. I think she, more than any character thus far, can conceivably be called the "Villain" of Inner Peace.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Here's a scary thought: We already know that she wins. By the time the main story starts, Wanda has completely internalized her philosophy.
