Goblins V: It's Hard-Kore!

[Mordokai]

though that seems like something you would see in a saw movie.

Oh yeah, because Jigsaw totally wasn't a sadistic bastard

If anything, comparing it to Saw would mean that our party would need to make great(and painful) personal sacrificies, but in the end they would survive and win the prize. Jigsaw(the original one, lets leave Amanda and... was it Matt(?) out of this) was fair... in his own demented way.

[The Linker]

That was sort of my point, anyway. They have to kill the other team to continue. The Saw movies are one example of that, yeah.

[Draconi Redfir]

Why is pushing the hole wall more plausible? Both doors are closed. Woo, they made it to the... other closed door. Besides, there are lights hanging on the ceiling. It doesn't look like the wall's designed to move.

Could be that there is a switch of some kind on the opponent's spiked wall that opens the opponent’s door once activated.

[The Linker]

I could see that -- you have to push the holed wall as far as you can, completely squishing your opponents, and then you can reach the switch...

...Wait, but then you could just push the wall past their door, press the switch on your side and leave.

[Draconi Redfir]

no what i mean is th switch is ON the spikey wall, somewere between the spikes, and it can only be activaited by the hole-wall.

and quite possibly both doors would open into the same room.

[The Linker]

no what i mean is th switch is ON the spikey wall, somewere between the spikes, and it can only be activaited by the hole-wall.

Right, that's what I was thinking. I just don't see why it could only be activated by the hole-wall, unless maybe there's several pressure switches that all have to be pressed at the same time.

and quite possibly both doors would open into the same room.

That makes sense. But only if the hole-wall is not movable.

[Camelot]

"This is intense, I wonder what's going to happen!"

My thoughts exactly!

[Imgran]

Oh it's really very simple. The walls start moving in gradually, as per standard convention. The trick here though is that there are two switches, one on each side of the wall. Push them both at the same time, the door opens, both teams advance. Push only one, and that side's spikes SLAM shut, dooming both teams. Visibility is very limited and both switches are placed so that the other side has no way of seeing them. All both parties need to do to survive and pass the room is trust the other one enough to rely on verbal cues and be on the switch at the same time, all the while fully knowing:

1: that the guys on the other side hate you
2: that the guys on the other side have an incentive to eliminate you
3: that they just might be shortsighted enough to let you die anyway
4: and even if they aren't, they might let you die and hope to find another way out of the trap

Oh and for some added diabolic glee, the switches require a strength check that only the Minmaxes can pass.

[Shpadoinkle]

Is it just me or does MinMax have flowers painted on his armband? I never noticed that before looking at panel 7 for some reason.

[DeadManSleeping]

I believe that they are merely purple hexagons.

[Neoriceisgood]

I wonder if every challenge within this maze will be a spar between different teams of some sort, I kinda feel like it probably will be.

[Lord Raziere]

hmmm...I think the new universe looks more barbaric.....

I mean even Minmax realizes that Barmax is stupid so....barbarian methinks.

also the purple tattoos spells "MM"- Minmax.

[Yuki Akuma]

I wonder if every challenge within this maze will be a spar between different teams of some sort, I kinda feel like it probably will be.

No. It won't.

It'll be an actual fight to the death.

[The Linker]

also the purple tattoos spells "MM"- Minmax.

Yes, that is what Traab said.

[Imgran]

So I was just thinking, kinda funny that there's no alternative universes at all in which the drow survived.

[JonestheSpy]

They might have survived, there were just no circumstances that lead them to this adventure with Minmax and Forgath. Would YOU want to hang around with those idiots?

[Draconi Redfir]

I think MFK's session is minmax-forgath-kin exclusive, requiring at least one of those three to be present for them to enter that specific maze of the many. any instance the Drow enter would show 217 different Drow parties.

[blackjack217]

Or he already did the drizzt clone joke.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Has anyone else noticed not all the comics are in the archives? It seems to be that every other comic shows up in the archives. Which is a problem since I started reading less than a month ago.

Those are plot arcs. If you're trying to find each page by the archives you're doomed to fail.

Instead, use the next button. They're all there.

Ah, okay, got it.

Edit: the comics aren't loading right, they cover up the previous and next buttons.

[LOTRfan]

Really? I don't seem to be having that problem...

[Morph Bark]

That very well could be so. In that case, the goblin we saw earlier actually is Forgath. He simply was born as a goblin in that world rather than as a dwarf.

[Draconi Redfir]

no i think that's still one-eye. but Kin and Minmax are still there so they get transprted to the MFK Maze.

If it was big ears, Kin, and One-eye, then it would probably take them to the BEKOE maze or something. IDK

[The Linker]

That very well could be so. In that case, the goblin we saw earlier actually is Forgath. He simply was born as a goblin in that world rather than as a dwarf.

There was a Forgath in that world. He just died, hence the 'This is a Helmet' hanging around Minmax's neck.

[LOTRfan]

Yeah, he made mention of that on Twitter. Whenever he gets a certain amount of followers, he posts more information about each group from the alternate realities here.

[CJvR]

Things have gone far when MinMax thinks you is an idiot!

[Ganurath]

I just had a sad thought:

Is there any reality where the goblins successfully rescue Kin from Brassmoon?

[Phase]

Yes, but in those realities Kin never tells MinMax and Forgath about the Maze, hence they aren't here.

[Jallorn]

On the old fraction of infinity topic: the phrase, "fraction of infinity," means infinity/x, right? So therefore any value of x, or any fraction of infinity is still infinite. Arguable for 0, since dividing by 0 is undefined, but it could technically be anything. I like to think anything over 0 is infinity, but hey.

IDK myself. Maybe Luke wore a leisure suit?

Am I the only one who thought, "Elvis?"
