Erfworld Thread VII: No Consensus, Left Unsealed
Erfworld is an online comic about a table top gamer named Parson Gotti that is summoned from our world to the world of Erf, a world based on its own rules that function similarly to a table top game. This makes Parson a valuable player in a game that may very well threaten his life. Does he want to go back to his own world at all, or is this world the perfect place for a gamer such as himself? Is he really dreaming? Will he be there forever? Who knows! What we DO know is that in this world, the pieces are living things, and the stakes cannot be higher. Join Parson on this wild ride filled with real world (or to the Erfworlders - Stupid World) references and puns, gaming homages and glory, fate and chance.

Re: Erfworld Thread VII: No Consensus, Left Unsealed
I have to admit that the latest arc has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me.
There is no emotion more useless in life than hate.

Ever wondered how many games are mentioned in the comic? I have listed them all in a geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/2...es-order-stick

The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep.~ That's your horoscope for today.

Re: Erfworld Thread VII: No Consensus, Left Unsealed
So this is the new thread?
Just so I know what I'm looking at.The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Re: Erfworld Thread VII: No Consensus, Left Unsealed
The next thread may well be VIIInnie, VIIIdi, VIIIci, depending on timing and current comic activity. Vinnie himself is off at Faq at the moment, isn't he?

Re: Erfworld Thread VII: No Consensus, Left Unsealed
The trope was too stretched (both literally and metaphorically). The consensus of no consensus was just too perfect to pass up, and it doesn't require significant involvement of a character that hasn't appeared in a while whereas this was right in front of us. I realize the timing is crucial, but as for me, the extra "I" sealed the name of this thread. Ironic (?) that the thread name came down to the wire just like in the comic :)?
EDIT: Wombat, page 50 came and it was getting pretty intense. In situations like that, people may not remember your request to post the OP.Last edited by gooddragon1; 2016-03-09 at 01:41 PM.

Maybe Vinny, Vidi, Vici will be a quote in-universe.

Re: Erfworld Thread VII: No Consensus, Left Unsealed
SpoilerWell. Can't say that actually tells us a whole lot other than Stanley knows what's going on sort of. Not much else to this update really. Sorta hoping we'd see some of the Vampire's side of things.

Re: Erfworld Thread VII: No Consensus, Left Unsealed
Pends on what's available.
As for the comic, I like to see Charlie crying, but I have a speculation that he may say it's because he lost "beloved archons" while the truth is something else.
Pity about all those units left un decrypted. Still, I look forward to seeing Jojo run out on a rail.There is no emotion more useless in life than hate.
