Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
To be frank, I doubt Wanda would ever consider a plan that involves her letting Decrypted go. She is too stupid to see the big picture.
This was a balls to the walls theory, how GK could both get more casters, and change attitude towards Decryption.

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
I did not read it that way. I read it more in a "please don't be an ass when giving suggestions" way. It is not like he can stop people from giving suggestions, and with the size of the fanbase, the change of not getting any is pretty near zero.
I mean, sure, if he doesn't care for it he might have written "please don't send any suggestions, I'm not interested in them" but...well, you have been in the internet, you know that would not diminish the amount of vitriol-filled suggestions received, right?

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
Take a good look at the end of that update:
... the involvement of the tower entity as possible actor [, causing] the unsealing of the two oldest decision spaces in the temple record
So the great minds know about these, and have known about these, and have surpressed knowledge of them.
Reading this update, and the whole "This hurts our side less than it hurts their side", plus the complete disregard for someone that might hurt the GM's, I am now more than ever convinced that the GM's should be Parson's target, and if GK and CC could possibly stop and compare notes, the GM's would face a battle of epic proportions.
Also: MK Zombie Apocalypse for the win!Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
The GMs are looking increasingly villain-like, but Charlie needs to go down too and Parson may not have the power to pull that off without GM assistance. What Parson really needs to do is play the GMs and CC off each other until he can eliminate both.
That would be one hell of a batch of superpowered zombies. I think the GMs are completely correct in their concern over that particular scenario, however misguided and/or selfish their other conclusions might be.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming?

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
No. Closing a decision space merely means that they think they know whatever there is to know about that topic (they made a decision), so they think they don't need to think about it anymore. It doesn't mean that they have suppressed knowledge. I think that passage meant that what Jed did contradicts a couple parts of their fundamental understanding of how Erfworld works.
Yes, but you don't need to cite references for something that's become generally accepted and you are expecting the reader to already know. Einstein was expecting that the readers would already be familiar with Maxwell's equations and also that there were problems with them. The English translation of his paper on the Special Theory of Relativity (PDF) begins:

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
And that ace will have nothing at all to do with Wanda. Her loyalties have always been ironclad, even when her friends have abandoned her to her death she will never join Charlie, never croak and decrypt the great minds, never give Parson a unified band of evil to face off against. /s

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
Apparently great minds think alike.
People that die in pier depop. No decryption there.
Why not offer them a Deal to serve GK as Decrypted, for the duration of the deal?Afterwards, using special Turnamancy*, you return to live out rest of your life as a Barbarian Decrypted caster?
In fact, I expect this is what she was starting when she attacked Janice. (She may not have thought this through, but the scenario looks a lot like one where everyone ends up dead and her hat is missing.)

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
SpoilerIs this going to spur Sizemore to make a rescue attempt?
Hmm, what could he do... Available assets are himself and Ace, as the only ones able to enter the portal, plus as yet uncoordinated casters already in the MK, of which he knows of Wanda, Marie, and Janis (who is merely friendly, not loyal, and I suspect will be aiming for a mercy kill). Wanda seems helpless until freed, Marie will likely take care of inserting herself into whatever plan takes place, Predicting where she's needed.
Opposing forces: every free caster who realizes what he's up to.
Stealth is called for. Fortunately, the Great Minds are temporarily blinded by the New Bargain while they work out new loopholes.
I'm going to guess that Sizemore will dig a tunnel underground, trying to reach Wanda undetected. Either by coincidence or with guidance from Marie, he will encounter Claud and Ivan on their way out. They will then break into the Dirtamansion together and free Wanda. He might bring the Arkenpliers with him, figuring losing them on failure is no big loss but having them will be a big help on the homeward stretch of a success, or he might leave them securely in the city in case of future attunement to a new wielder.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming?

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
Spoiler: New PageI have this theory that Charlie has the little action figure using the Wonky Wrench to dig out the foundation under the Great Mind's palace. When it collapses suddenly, most people aren't going to know what happened, and if the GM's suffer heavy losses, well that's just too darn bad, right? Certainly would cause enough chaos for Sizemore to take advantage and free Wanda.

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
The action figure took away crates and crates of guns and ammo, right? What if it took all the gunpower out of the bullets and packed it directly under the floor, then lit a trail of gunpowder leading to that?
I think Charlie would have wanted the guns moved to where Charlie's archons could get at them. Still, I want to see the action figure using the guns at some point. It would be like AK-47s sprouting feet and running around and automatically firing. The GMs probably wouldn't have any idea what to do at first. Ivan and Claude might be the first to run into that, though.

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
Do we know if the action figure can use the wrench though?
Is it not a rather limited unit?
And is it not more or less nececary for the story that it cant use it? else it would be impossible for Claude and Ivan to follow it, and their decryption would be completely pointless.
Meanwhile if it cant use them, then those 2 would be able to find the wrench, and most likely either resque Wanda or give it to Sizemore.
Also, who here suspect he will get to bond to the wrench at some point?thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's one of those gamebreaker multilinked item creations.
On the one hand, I'm curious about some of these multilinked items are OP even compared to the Arkentools.
On the other, I'm reminded of the custom Epic Item Creation rules in DND, and how they can be really powerful.

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
Make a Guy Fawkes reference out of that, then?
"Remember, remember, on turn 5 you surrender..."
Tiny figure using a big rifle... heh, that would be amusing. All it has to do is create a bit of chaos to give Sizemore his opening to free Wanda.
Hmm, since Charlie rigged his portal to allow anything to pass through, wonder if he also rigged how it opens and closes?
No idea who can and cannot use it, but I'd guess it'll work for any Dirtamancer.

Re: Erfworld Thread IX: By the Flower and Gray Skull
Im not certain even a master class Carnymancer can cheat an arkentool.
But also, i can see arguments for why it may or may not be an arkentool after all. And i am currently on the fence on the subject.
On one hand it seems to break basic rules of the world. On the other hand it would seem like it would be treated like a bigger deal had it been such a tool.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar
