Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Well, no, but the setup is so obvious that I kinda expect it to wrap around and make her the medium anyway.
Maybe Parley will be made medium, and Coyote will insist on making it Annie anyway?
Tom is such a troll that I'll expect anything hereSpoiler

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Turns out none of them are the Medium. Kat will be the new Medium!

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
To be honest, if I was making the choice, it'd be Smitty.
The dude's ability is to explicitly create order.
Do you know how useful that would be in a diplomat? I mean, okay, we've seen that it doesn't resolve every interpersonal issue, but considering that he can guess when his girlfriend is going to teleport behind him and is always right, come on.i am going to make it through this year

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
I'd say the same except... "She is the clear choice."

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Well, yes. But that's why I'm saying that if I was making the choice, not Jones. =P

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
If it weren't for 'She is the clear choice" I'd be springing for all three of them to be medium. It's a big job, they work well together, complimenting each others' abilities and reducing their shortcomings... As it is I think Annie has a lock on it, unless her earlier attitude of defiance and disobedience persuaded Jones she was unsuitable.
If George were named, though, that might actually have the same result as making it a three member tribunal, as Andrew and Annie would both feel compelled to help her...

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Clearly, the medium will be Paz. The Court sees "Good with animals", and says, hey, clearly she knows what she's doing!

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Eh, it could go either way.
Annie is a little too predictable as the Medium, but it kind of fits. If Annie needed to undergo a Trial By Fire to become Medium, it would probably have gotten it's own chapter, rather than being on the end of a Kat-focused chapter. However, the chapter is titled Changes. If Kat is now "Officially" The new Diego, and Annie becomes the Medium, then it fits thematically.
I very much doubt it's going to be Parley. She's a terrible choice for a wide variety of reasons.
No, the other choice is something totally out of the park.
1: The Court will appoint no new Medium. It has nothing to discuss with the Forest.
2: It will be somebody who was never even an official candidate, like Zimmy.
3: It will be Boxbot, who is terrible.Last edited by BRC; 2013-02-06 at 01:33 PM.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
I really can't imagine it would be Annie, after the whole incident in the forest- She's shown herself to take neither the Court nor Coyote halfway seriously.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
My prediction is that somehow, someway, Tom will manage to leave this a cliffhanger until Monday. I don't know how he will do that, but this setup suggests we should get an answer Friday. But from my reading of the comic, I think Tom is allergic to solving ANY mystery on a Friday. So somehow he will make this cliffhanger last till Monday, even, or perhaps especially because he has setup a situation which suggests the answer would be in the next strip.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Apparently, slouching like that is better for your back than sitting straight up- your back should be at a 120 degree angle to your thighs, provided they're parallel to the ground.
Less disc slippage or something, and considering that the principal does seem kind of old, maybe he knows it.i am going to make it through this year

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Curse you Tom, I thought it was Annie too.
But yeah, she's proven to be somewhat unstable and a bit too pro-Forest to be a mediator. Not sure that Coyote will like Smith though. Or YsengrinAwesome OOTS-style Fallout New Vegas avatar by Ceika. Or it was, before Photobucket started charging money.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
That's where you might be getting a little ahead of yourself.
(Or maybe they wanted to hear their own name but all expected Annie to win, because she's been in extensive contact with both sides, and her mother was the previous medium, and all that.
Or, god forbid, that's humor.)Originally Posted by on Dwarf Fortress succession gamesOriginally Posted by Dwarf Fortress 0.40.01 bugs

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
I hope this is in earnest, because Smitty would make the best Medium of the three.
However, he's not a "she".

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
A little SLOW on the uptake there, aren't they?
The reactions Monday should be interesting. We'll see if Annie was really surprised they wouldn't chose her. And if she's fine with that. Being the Medium may not be the best job, after all...

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Because they weren't...
Even though they were still taking the class they had come to fully expect Annie would win and thus were fully prepared to offer their congratulations to her. Annie for her part, is actually showing a bit of modesty and dishonesty by saying she was surprised she was chosen since this whole exchanged shows that she came here fully prepared to accept the job.Last edited by slayerx; 2013-02-08 at 10:19 AM.
