Spoiler on Sizemore Rockwell

[battleburn]

What about that guy, is he really as friendly as he seems, is he really just helping by taking away Parson's crap?
Of course not.
Sizemore is a dirtomancer, he can use the crap to get control over Parson. Its like knowing someones true name, or use voodoo by having someones blood. Rockwell can controll someone because he has his/her crap.

I don't think so. Control over a person would probably fall under a different type of magic, something like foolamancy. I think Sizemore is exactly what he seems - a slightly depressed, friendly, non-confrontational dirtomancer.

If he could do that, I doubt Stanley would allow him in the Gobwin Knob cesspit.

[Glome]

Which would ultimately be pointless since he's already controlled by Stanley, and if he in any way disobeys Stanley he blinks out of existence. If he did want to betray Gobwin Knob, he would be better served with either Stanley's or Wanda's crap instead.

Honestly though, I don't see that happening though. For one thing, Sizemore seems generally troubled when he perceives that they're going to lose the war despite their new warlord. Secondly, he seems to have some self-esteem issues and I'm not positive he has the ego to try to pull off a coup here. Finally, if Sizemore was in any way working for the other side they would undoubtly have better intelligence then they apparently have. It's clear that Ansom knows little except for the fact that Stanley has burned through his warlords.

Anyone else wonder why Sizemore said "He's your lackey, and it's his first promotion." "He's probably on some kind of special errand to impress you." in quotes? It really doesn't make a lot of sense in context that he would want to emphasis that entire statement.

I think that's just because the drawing shows a different scene in that panel, and the quotation marks just show that it is still Sizemore talking.

[Pepz]

aye tokiko, the fourth panel was about him talking to parson while we got to see Bogroll making armor for Parson :) hope that clears it up ;)

and OP, think you have to have some part of a human for that, not excrement :) blood and such are important parts of the human biology (nails not really, but you get my drift ;) ) Crap is what the body didn't use :) not good for voodoo

You'd be surprised how much blood is actually in crap, espically considering the likely shape of Parson's digestive tract.

[Demented]

It IS dead blood. Though, if you can use hair, I suppose it does't make much of a difference.

[Azukar]

Oookay, enough about the blood-filled crap.

this thread is icky.
