Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
If the Ditto'ed Slately isn't permanent, the Dittomancer is the only thing keeping Jetstone going right now...could be a plot point waiting to happen there!

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
+1
He could do that and help his side without riding off on a Uni, and after doing it, he may well have been useless: completely spent.
Tangent: I was wondering what might happen if Wanda got back and decrypted Slately (and Cubbins, too, for that matter), but I expect there is no chance of that with the portal gone and the bodies vanishing by the start of the next day.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Yeah, I know. If he wanted to use the rest of his power for that day on a blast, then he could've, and still flown away.
But the main fact against it, the fact that makes it worse to nova and let a couple archers survive, is that even with Spacerock's fall, Jetstone still survives, and while an extra couple of archers would've only serves to help take down an Archon, Cubbins could've helped Ace build more accessories, which would definitely have helped more towards reclaiming Spacerock or attacking weaker Gobwin Knob cities.Last edited by Hiro Protagonest; 2012-07-11 at 06:14 PM.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
On the one hand, he as a caster was the next best thing to useless in combat - he could cast, but not dish out/block hits in an engagement. If Slately failed to make it out of the hex, there would be no future for Jetstone, and he would have failed his Duty. On the other hand, Cubbins remaining behind to dump his entire remaining combat value (his juice) in one blast while an archer who would otherwise be dead escapes in his place to add its combat value to the engagement might allow Slately to fight free of the city. It's coldly mathematical, especially because it means reducing himself and his own life to a variable in the equation, but it makes sense.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Eh, fine. We don't really know much about how Cubbins' discipline (which I can't remember, have to go look it up) works. For all we know, he could shoot a bunny out of his hat every turn for half the juice it took for each bunny he shot out when he used them all at once.
And now that I'm done, I guess I'm going to have to study the basics of the world in Parson's Klog in Book 1 more closely, since all I remember is that two of the three things that define the world (or something like that) are Erf and Fate.Avatar of George the Dragon Slayer, from the upcoming Indivisible!

Is that a Transylvito doombat hovering over the dead King Slately?

Yep there is one. Don't think we have to ask who it belongs to.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
I am expecting now is a good point (narratively) to switch back to the Magic Kingdom.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
One other thing about Cubbin's sacrifice. In his "curtain call" page, it looks very much like he's firing off every last bit of tower defenses, similar to what Wanda did vs the Archons in TBFGK. His Duty probably prompted him to be the one to stay behind to do that, since Lloyd, Pierce, and Ace all had higher combat value in a straight up fight, and if nobody else did, the tower spells would have been completely wasted. Getting a few more archers mounted was just him trying to stack the odds even more.
"Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "What's the worst thing that could happen?"

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
I wish it explained what deck of cards you use. Playing cards? Pokemon cards? Business cards? I'll bet a Wells Fargo vice-president business card is worth more points than a McDonald's district manager business card.

Re: Erfworld, The Thread.
Any ideas as to what that thing in the tower was?
It seems that Haffaton is so over the "Deminising Schmuckers Point" that all they can afford is uncroaked and plants. I assume both don't need upkeep. I guess the plants are Olive branch's work?
If (when) Wanda turns, will it really BE plants vs Zombies???Bad to the Bone!
