102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Of course Parson is spreading that lie. So easy yet so transparent.
As for the foolamancer, I say his name is Steve.Last edited by Hyozo; 2008-04-02 at 10:16 PM.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
As people predicted, Parson brought Charlie into it. Looks as well like he's trying to convince Ansom that his defenses are concentrated on the outer walls (and thus not on the tunnels).
Perhaps more interestingly, it appears that Stanley is not completely out of touch with the city. Sounds like a convincing reason for Parson to remain loyal (as indeed he seems to be).

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Steve? That's a name for a jerk player, not a foolamancer.
I think Yorrick would be a better name, as it's thematicly appropriate.
As for the lie, it sounds too much like some turn based RPGs I've seen to be taken too lightly. Even a little doubt in an alliance can be disasterous.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Damn that Tool!!! Parson was on a roll...
Parson clearly has one hell of a sharp mind, given that he keeps running into brick wall after brick wall, and still comes up with another plan.
I hope his enough of his bluff and insulting, will create the effect he needs to grasp victory. It will be interesting to see how things pan out.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
So far we have Maggie the thinkamancer and Misty the Lookamancer. Also Wanda the Croakamancer and Sizemore the Dirtamancer. Any paterns that arise?

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Actually, the Thinkamancer giving out might have been a good thing. He says he's been sending thinkagrams all day, wouldn't that tire her out?

New strip is up !

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Awesome! This strip was just made of awesome!
He concurrently makes Ansom more determined to attack through the tunnels, implicates Charlie with the "M'glad you think so!" (which was pure gold btw), and gets in another shot about Stanley and Charlie being superior to Ansom.Last edited by Theodoriph; 2008-04-02 at 10:29 PM.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Something I just noticed: Parson's last sentence that made it through to Ansom, might have been interpreted as a complete statement, rather than getting cut off. Instead of hearing, "I've been sending Thinkagrams all morning to..." Ansom might have heard, "I've been sending Thinkagrams all morning too." And then think Parson just cut the conversation right there.
Nice touch that one.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Didn't totally like the "tiresome bluff" in question... Parson's better than that. Implicating Charlie was a brilliant move, though, and I concur that it can't go anywhere but up that the Thinkagram was cut off.
Question is, will Ansom be pissed off enough to go for the walls anyway? And if so, how far will his senior advisors have to go to con him into the tunnels?
Oh, that will play out nice when they get it wrong...

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Is Parson continuing to hide his intelligence level? Some of his phrasing seems deliberately constructed to sound a bit dumb...
I'll surrender to my secret allies in your coalition
That doesn't sound smart, on the surface. And
Ewps. Did I let that slip?
Just sounds like he's either someone who is too dumb to keep a secret, or too cocky to care. And there's no good reason I see that Parson would present a cocky attitude about that.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Lesse... Parson references Transformers and Gilligan's Island directly, and I think that he made a Austin Powers reference in panel 4. And this is a decent reason as for why the Foolamancer's name has yet to be been reveiled...

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Now... the coalition leaders who were present all KNOW they didn't receive Thinkagrams fro Parson... so Ansom sharing that tidbit will likely shoot him in the ankle big time, as well as implicating only those coalition factols wihout an emissary present.
It occurs to me that one of the most important of those would of course be Charlie.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Is the magical "transmission" of a Thinkagram detectable?
If so, and Ansom has any way of detecting their usage in a Turn -- perhaps just the "carrier signal" or its magical aftereffects in the "ether" -- he could probably confirm at least that some had occurred, possibly even detecting Maggie and Stanley's communication and wondering about its message.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
I'd wager that the foolamancer came from FAQ, along with Wanda. And no one else there knows his name. But she does. Which means she'll likely stay in her zonked out state to heighten the drama. I've also been re-reading, and it looks like her mind snapped when Stanley got pissed, not when Jillian broke the suggestion. Maybe her "distraction" wasn't that much of a sacrifice. Also, it looks like Parson's size is definitely being transmitted, and Ansom doesn't seem to care.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
Oh, and I just noticed the Mathamancy Gauntlet is not on his wrist anymore. More disinformation on his intelligence level; if Charlie and Ansom ever conference, Charlie might mention that Parson's a Mathamancer, confusing and alienating Ansom even more. Or, Ansom may not understand why Parson's doing so well and assume that someone's helping him fight.

^^You're right, there. Rather like a game of Werewolf, no?
It's too bad for Stanley that he doesn't practise Parson's habit of asking and remembering his employees' names.Last edited by Ink; 2008-04-02 at 11:07 PM.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
It's curious -- so he can surrender. But still faithful.
Sizemore seems the obvious helper on name and Bogroll the wildcard. Which of the magics might elicit a name, or is this just a wrong end anyhow.
I still don't see why he was playing as full enemy, though. The other was too obvious, and it could just backfire and help the coalition.

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
i feel like there are some panels missing. There feels like some continuity errors. Never mind I figured it out. So has stanley considered hug therapy?

Re: 102 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 92
... 101 - Uber awesome from Parson. 102 - eh, he slips. Woulda been nice to see if his endgame on the call would match the start, thereby passing over the uninspired middle. I'm guessing that it would've. Parson's a table top gamer, and 3/4 of that is playing your opponents. Ooo, table top gaming Parson! Playing against OR with him would be very fun and very challenging. Time to re-read the entire archive.

In Ansom's head: The thinkagram cut out. His Thinkamancer must be worn out... but why? Has he really been contacting my allies?
