Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull

[eschmenk]

On one hand it seems to break basic rules of the world.

But a linked casters often do that. Keep in mind that in-world, there is no good canonical source for Erfworld's rules. Any "basic rules" just come from generalized observations or interpretations of scriptures. As a result, the rules are about how things usually are or how they seem to be, not about how they need to be.

On an unrelated note: Erfworld is now over 10 years old. The oldest post I could find is from December 2006.
Did I miss any celebrations or 50 $ mugs?

[DataNinja]

Nope. Just a little announcement post on the main forums... I thiiiink the calendar being available for a week in an online format, the announcement of the collectable units, and anyone logging in to the site that day got a 10th anniversary badge.

New comic.

I actually liked this update, albeit it was very substance less. We got to see Hamster interact with other Warlords and Maggie. Which was nice change of pace.

On one hand it seems to break basic rules of the world. On the other hand it would seem like it would be treated like a bigger deal had it been such a tool.

But it breakseems rules in a rule abbiding fashion, since that is the effect of carnimancy.

Meh. The humor in this update was kind of lame all around. I was hoping Parson would stumble on the Bunny-doll but that didn't happen.

The gave a free "unit" that appear in your profile. You can collect other units, supporting with money the comic, and can get other units that require an upkeep, and that sort of things.
Fascinating.

the best part was "he would weight all the facts and details carefully, and come up with an appropriately disproportional response"

[Anteros]

Didn't really like this update either. Aside from nothing happening (shock) Parson is trying way too hard to look badass here and it just comes off cringy. I'm tempted to say that such behavior is in character for him, but it doesn't feel like the cringe is intentional.

[Aquillion]

I thought the cringe was intentional - certainly the part at the end where Skyy thought he was trying to flirt with her was.

[Mando Knight]

Parson brings up a good point, though. Fritos Scoops definitely taste different from regular Fritos.

[Razade]

I'm just curious what he talked about as a native Ohioan. Because Fritos are certainly not a big thing there.

Probably stuff not related to Ohio considering how low an opinion he seemed to have of home. I mean, if it's not food, it's not worth mentioning.

[Anteros]

As someone who visits Ohio fairly frequently...there's really not much of anything there.

Fair enough. Perhaps I misread it.

New comic.

And it's sets up a nice cliffhanger. Too bad, it'd be resolved in next 100 pages.

[DigoDragon]

Fair enough. Perhaps I misread it.

If I were Parson, I'd probably have flirted... with the same resulting cringe.

Huh, interesting little cart there. Well I guess those two are now on the same page.

Nah, she's selling him a line.

[Xihirli]

See, this is why I have a problem with those dungeon designs where one can stick their whole head out of the bars. Too many things can go in or come out.

[eschmenk]

I think it's funny that even though she's stuck in a cell with just straw on the floor, Vanna is making sure to lie in a seductive pose just in case someone comes by. You can't fault her professionalism.

Yeah. Normally things that are a la carte are separate, though. I guess that between that and her pose, Vanna is grasping at whatever straws she can.

[keybounce]

ROFL.

Hmm, need 10 chars, "ROFL" isn't enough of a message.

[Anteros]

To be entirely fair to Vanna, if history is any guide Parson probably actually will end up betraying everyone there and leading them to their deaths.

[Xihirli]

Parson's never had allies before. This is uncharted territory.

Ah, so really it's just... cart blanche to say whatever for what she thinks is best for herself and Charlie?

Gotta take whatever straws you can when going... against the grain.

Well, buffer was nice, while it lasted.

[Xihirli]

But I wanted Parson to take a whole page to do absolutely nothing!

[Razade]

Was there something announced? I'm not seeing anything showing us losing an update or anything.

No. It's just standardly late. Last two/three were early.

[DataNinja]

Yeah, it's not late until midnight eastern. So, almost another six hours, unless I've messed up my conversions. Which is probable.

[Razade]

It's no where even close to late, my goodness. Thirty to complain about something huh? It usually updates around 9PM my time, it's not even close to that currently.

You have, more like eight hours.

[DigoDragon]

Longer if you delay your side's end of turn.
