could this plot move any slower?

In other words, Numb, your views are wrong and you should feel bad. 'Nuff said.

EDIT: The glacially-slow plot is why I never started reading Terry Goodkind. Thank the gods.

@V: See, I just heard about the glacially-slow plots and the rape stuff. And as for the rape stuff, well ... I read George R.R. Martin's books, so it would be hypocritical of me to complain.

It wasn't the misogyny, the rape/almost rape, anything Richard does, the endless speeches, the preaching, the horrible plots, the nonsense, the complete lack of consistency, the Marty Stus, the deus ex machinas, the random, meaningless violence, the... oh, I could go on, but do you really want me to?

Anyways, I think Erfworld's pace is fine. Sure, it'd be nice if they could update more often, (although, we've gotten a few in the last week, which is about on par with their original update schedule, which is awesome) but I trust that they'll get a strip up whenever they possibly can.

Never read the book you are talking about: now I never will. Seems kind of like Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire without the pictures.

My oppinion exactly: with the exeption of a few scant tidbits taken from stuff that Rob and Jamie say, everything we know about Erfworld has been given in 98 pages. The series is progressing very well (heck, I would say that there are a few places that seemed rushed, and I would not have been the least bit saddened to see a few extra pages added in), and I doubt that anyone would complain if Erfworld were to be updated more.

Doesn't seem that slow to me. Every strip reveals something of import, or moves the story along at its own pace. Compared to OOTS which is based on DND (and awesome), the writers of Erf need to establish the "rules" of the world and stuff like that since the comic started in the middle of things.

Of course, the fact that I check half a dozen or so webcomics every day might explain why I'm not too bothered anyhow.

Doesn't seem slow to me either. I hadn't read Erfworld for the last 4 or 5 months and just sat down last night to catch up...seems to me that a plot that moves well or slow is a matter of perception in this case. Of course, if one tries to write and draw his (or her) own web comic and tries to keep it updated with refreshing art and sparkling wording...then maybe you'll have a greater appreciation for what they do here...
