He could do worse. Susan would keep him in line. And she has thwack-worthy resources if needed. -
Comic for Wednesday, August 24, 2022

Yeah, but even Elliot knows that, there is no reason for waffling now. The obvious answer is Elliot needs to punch himself. Would it count if he got Ellen to do it? Or maybe he could take imagined punches lessons from Rich. -
I believe that is not true, the rungs assigned to political appointees go several rungs down the ladders. From what I've seen in other agencies, I'd expect the political appointees in the FBI go down to the division level vice directors. Their org chart might have that information. It is a shame, because the career civil servants know their stuff, know the rules, and generally act professional. The political appointees, not so much. From what I've seen, their main job skill is kissing the right ass at the right time, they think they are above the rules, and in a big sense they are, because a rule you don't enforce isn't really a rule, and these bozos are rarely called out.

Comic for Monday, August 22, 2022 Comic does not meaningfully advance the story. Yelling over the phone can apparently distort glasses. Who knew? I wonder at this point how 'read in' Elliot's parents are. "#%@!" seems to say they know quite a bit of detail.

NP Comic for Tuesday, August 23, 2022 There should be an RPG for Shakespearian actors where they can stretch out each action into a noteworthy stage event. "You kill the goblins." "I pick up the nearby corpse. 'Oh, what tragedy has befallen your tainted life! You are set aside by society, and society names you the monster! Would that they had to walk in your shoes, who then would the monster be?' I loot the corpse." "You find five silver, two copper, and a rusty knife."

Some setting aim for coherent incoherence. Planescape, I'm looking at you. -
That raises an interesting issue. The existence of magic is generally secret in the EGS universe. How secret? Is Nanase violating laws by floating down hallways? Why hasn't she gotten a lecture from her uncle about this? I'd imagine there's a need to know component. A non-magic intelligence operative would likely need to know of the existence of magic to be aware of potential impacts to missions. Clearly, Elliot's parental units being unfazed by individuals having flight abilities says that they have such an awareness. They might not be aware that Elliot can fly. They are aware that he has a spell book, again, magic awareness, and Ellen's origin, if not in detail, at least that she is literally related to their offspring, Elliot, appeared suddenly, and Elliot's mom did not give birth to her. (I recall a discussion between them speculating on whether Elliot was Ellen's 'mom'.) So far, they do not appear to have their own magic, but appear quite aware of it.

It has been implied at the end of the Magus arc that they are more than they seem. TBD.

So, her mom was partly right, she's definitely not a thespian, it was just a phase. -

That is an odd item for Nanase to have, Fox or not. How would she explain having that to her mom? Two comics later, Fox is sprawled in the same bed, so maybe you're onto something. -

Darth Fluffy replied to Darth Fluffy's topic in EGS: NP Discussion
Plausible. Ellen's response seems to indicate that she took it to mean the game. In any case I don't think this is a bet she can win. Refer back to the bet being made, no objective win nor loss conditions are mentioned, only "I'll prove it to you". Entirely subjective on both their parts (how is Rich going to measure "half as much as you think you do"), and Rich has shown himself to have delusional fantasies within this comic arc. I don't think she can even break him, he'll just give her that disbelieving stare he does. Frankly, I think her best bet is to spring for the hardcover edition, whack Rich over the head with it, (thank you, Tara, for showing the way!), and taking his lunch money. She could have a good time with Nanase, and Rich only gets hurt in a part he isn't using anyway. OTOH, if everyone besides Rich has fun, she can claim she DMed well, winning the bet, so again, plausible. -
NP Comic for Saturday, August 20, 2022 Huh, George is socially adept, so why is he a loner? How does Justin know that about Nanase? It's come up in casual conversation before? I think "I'll help you win this <RPG>." is going into my bag of quotes to abuse. While in this context it indicates 'doesn't quite get the concept', 'I'm going to win this RPG' seems to be a hurdle some folks can't get past. The solution is, of course, "Rock falls, everybody dies."

Ah. I can see that. I live in an urban area with a plethora of choices. In fact, choosing to live in an urban area is part of the selection. I have exposure to rural living, and it's not something I prefer, for the reasons you are referring to. Rural towns are insular. I could survive and make due, but it is not an environment that I prefer.

Darth Fluffy replied to Darth Fluffy's topic in EGS: NP Discussion
I'm not seeing the dicotomy you are proposing. However, in the comic, Ellen is the GM, so player disorientation and distress, rather than taking the GM offline, would be the goal. Pretty much Aubrey's thing. Dan referred to George as a loner in the commentary. George seems to get absorbed in solo activity even when he's in a group activity. They have know each other for a long time. I don't think Nanase would have had a bad experience in a play and then tried out for another, but she might have done it once then talked to him about it. Plausible. -

Hmm, there's room for a new interpretation of "Go f#&% yourself", via Twincest ++ . "Affirmative. Initiating clone creation." <time passes> "Clone activated, accelerated training commenced." <more time passes> "Clone, what should I call you?" "Kate, you may call me Dupli-kate." "Dupli-kate, please accompany me to my quarters. I have a directive that I need your assistance with." -
NP Comic for Thursday, August 18, 2022
Darth Fluffy replied to Darth Fluffy's topic in EGS: NP Discussion
If she's menopausal, she might be hot in a different way. There is another way. I had a friend that received iodine isotope post surgical treatment after her cancerous thyroid was removed. The half life was a couple of weeks. When she was done, we met her for lunch, and had apps with us to simulate a Geiger counter. She did one better. She had a real Geiger counter, and it was registering radioactivity. "So, how radioactive are you?" "Lunch with me is like half a dental X-ray." She was one hot chick. -
NP Comic for Thursday, August 18, 2022 Hmm. Not convinced this makes sense. She's been acting for her mom a lot. Acting has a lot to do with confidence, which she has in spades. She's shown she has no issue performing in public in her martial arts. Not seeing where she would disconnect and be specifically bad at acting; ... ... especially when it does not demand memorizing a set performance upon a stage - merely for an RPG.

Yes, this is mostly true, to a point, but it is an occasional exception to the rule. And even then, you are still mostly hanging out with your demographic. Similar transportation modes, similar store selection. Similar entertainment venues. And so on.
