Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
I didn't read the initial disclaimer prior to reading and when I saw wanda I thought she was wearing an outfit from V the TV miniseries. Then the final panel brought me back to reality. I love the uncroaked missing limbs or decomposed limbs. Hilarious!
Is it me or does Bogroll look more like Parson. The menacing hamster helmets were a great touch.

I agree. Unfortunately the prof involved is big on not violating intellectual property laws, so he wouldn't even give us students a copy.
Believe what you will, it did happen. How about this. Look at some of Michael Peters (MJ's choreographer on Thriller and Beat It) other works and look for similar dance moves. For that matter, many music videos of the time had synchronized group choreography, and many of the same (or similar) moves were used.

I always thought the game most closely resembled Age of Wonders(2 being the only one that I played). Especially since some files in that game had .erf extensions(if memory serves).

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
An interesting thought occured to me. Someone mentioned Wanda's zombies all being dress in Parson's livery and that they might be "his troop" (Parson's) and not Stanley's. If this is true (not saying it is) could it be that Parson has taken over as Overlord for GK and not realized it? (He is a Special Warlord after all). Stanley abondon GK to try and start again in Faq. Could that be considered a resignation? If Parson did take over I really don't think many people would be upset about in GK though . Also I can't see Parson working to long for Stanley before it drives him up the wall. Stanley is not a good leader of a nation.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
I think it's just a military convention in Erfworld. Looking at Comic 107, we can see that Webinar is wearing Ansom's crest on his armor. Ansom isn't the leader of Jetstone, but he is Jetstone's Chief Warlord. Also, look at Comic 27, you can see that each of Stanley's Chief Warlords had their own crest. It folows from here that all units that are created or turned (or uncroaked) during the service of a specific Chief Warlord bear his/her crest. Kings and overlords don't really seem to carry a crest at all.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
Rob Halford's high-pitched screech a la "Ram It Down" would make the sonic attack from hell, and the song itself would fit Erfworld's battlefield fairly well (okay, except the absence of cars...). Maybe "Painkiller" instead? The robot on that cover would make one hell of a golem, not to mention fitting the whole "evil looking guy who isn't really so evil" motif of Stanley's side.

Nice boobies.
Seeing Parson there fully attired makes me realize how odd it is that there are no Erfworld inspired T-shirts, Hamster Hats, Wrist Calculators, or "3-D Sunglasses" available in the giantitp.com store.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
No, it only assumes that a commander gains experience when units under his command croak enemies. Surely a high-level warlord can level up by exercising leadership skills (as demonstrated by the combat success of those he commands), and not just by direct participation?
Note that Parson's Chief Warlord leadership bonus (+2 to start, at least) applies to all units of GK. It's reasonable to think that some experience gain flows in the opposite direction.
However, this all does assume that Parson (from another world and without visible stats) is capable of leveling up at all."We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is
whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct."

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
Which does nothing to contradict her being the BBEG. I don't think she is, but, hypothetically, if Wanda is the BBEG then she wants Gobwin Knob to win this one, and she wants to end the fight with as many of her private toys still intact as possible and as few as possible of everyone else's toys intact.
That way her final Coup takes over a city with some power, and faces nothing much in the way of resistance. Her actions are entirely consistent with this interpretation.
We have no idea what units she might have been able to suggest the Tool empty his treasury to get, but what she suggested is one that she can probably handle herself at need (a perfect warlord rather than an unstopable fighter, unkillable defender, or a perfect caster).
She's perfectly willing to burn GK's air defenses to try to hit an enemy stack, "let's you and him fight". She wants the Tool to spend all his Smackers on a perfect warlord, "let's you and him fight". She's not happy to commit her own forces, the uncroaked or her hidden spells, which is perfectly consistent if she doesn't want to waste stuff she personally controls.
You're assuming that if she's the BBEG she wouldn't fight hard for GW, why? If she can take any faction over and from that foundation RULE THE WORLD (Bwah ha ha ha!!!) then she NEEDS GW to win as the next step of the plan, I don't think the RCC will ever give her power and influence comparable to what the Tool does. Thus crowning moments of awesum in defense of GW show she's seriously loyal ONLY if they involve her sacrificing something she cares about, which none of them have.

Re: Erfworld 140 The Battle for Gobwin Knob, Page 127
Not quite. Sizemore said gobwins turned and put Saline IV to the sword. While Stanley and all of the casters were off on some kind of special mission. Sure, Wanda could have set this up. But so could have Stanley, or Sizemore, or Jack, or any other FAQ caster.
I don't buy Stanley. I don't buy Wanda, either. I won't be terribly disappointed if it turns out to be Wanda, but I'd be very disappointed if it turned out to be Stanley, due to the whole "Duty applies the most to the chief warlord" rule as it has been explained.

Um, what kind of a foundation to rule the world is the side that everyone else wants to wipe off the face of the map? What kind of foundation to rule the world is the side which had 11 cities and now has only 1? A treacherous person would have turned long ago to either some other side or gone mercenary. You don't try to rule the world by tying your loyalties to a pack of losers.
Awesome strip, and I can't wait to see the action in the coming few strips. Going off of past see-saws in fortune, things will be changing fast with the arrival of some of the missing detached units (Jillian and/or Tool), or some other unforeseen but impacting events. I'm going to be very interested in following how the action depicts the turn-based strategy rules of Erfworld.
And then it goes and gets ruined by all ... that ... other ... stuff.

Animation Goddesses
Though I have not sought such a thing, it has taken over 20 years to find a female character worthy to replace my first true animation crush, that is, having been 14 years old at the time, I thought, man, I'd really like to see her, meet her, **** (boink?) her, if she were *real* etc., yadda yadda.
-------------------
I mean how many of us 40+ guys, recall those two chicks from the movie "Heavy Metal"? Of course, before them, there were Veronica and (the original) "Betty" of Archie comics fame.
I now feel that another femme fatale must be granted membership to the pantheon of Animation Goddesses.
-------------------
With reverence and respect, I set aside Commander Lisa Hayes of the RDF, and ready the alter for Wanda Firebaugh.
(Ba-rowglglglgl ... or however you spell that noise Tigger makes when a hottie walks by)
---------------
For those who are coughing and sputtering, Lisa Hayes?!? What about Minmei?!?!!?
Eh. I couldn't handle anyone so ditsy.

Re: Animation Goddesses
Who said anything about Minmei? Hello, did you not look at Miriya? And later, though she was never animated to my knowledge, Kazianna from the Sentinels novels always looked even better in my mind's eye.
SpoilerConsidering she was able to arise passion in Breetai, she had to be something!

Re: Animation Goddesses
All the Chinese, Filipino and Korean guys at my high school were gaga over Minmei. She was all fluff and no substance.
Miriya? She was a dynamite front runner, until Max effectively emasculated her, if you catch my drift.
That's what makes Wanda so narly: She's Micheavellian (sp?) through and through: The thing that Parson observed before he asked about her childhood.
Ruthless, determined, "I'm not gonna take-any-guff", go-to characters and real people are what give me a kick-in-the-pants. It is the same thing when Jillian focuses on her task that makes her shine too.
Ah, Lisa. Hmm. Considering what I just said doesn't make sense. She was wishy-washy over Rick for years. Huh, maybe it was just cause I was in the 8th grade at the time.

If the metal golems had dance fight, then the rest of the 'rock' ones would too. And I don't think swayying and nodding (Soft) or flailing around and licking the floor (acid) would count as real dancing.
And windmilling is not metal dancing, try that at a show and enjoy the kick in the head."How do I know that you know that my mouth is my own?"
