    This? This is nothing. You should check out the xkcd.com forum, where a discussion about the Third Reich can devolve into an argument over computer operating system versions.

    Ah, so the whole motive behind wanting Elliot to die was because of the reactions that his death would produce in his closest friends. The question now is, does Voltaire want Tedd to become some kind of supervillain like Lord Tedd, or does he simply want to ensure that Tedd will not use his special "Seer" abilities? Possible scenario: Since Voltaire is frustrated that Immortals have rules-lawyered themselves into impotence and wants to shift the balance of power back towards Immortals, he wants to ensure that the Magic System Change goes through. However, Tedd (and a possible small handful of others who share his "Seer" trait) would quickly decipher the new Magic System and speed up the restoral of human knowledge of Magic. Voltaire however wants to see Humanity de-Magicized (which puts him at perfect opposition to both Tedd and Pandora's desires to spread human Magic as far and wide as possible). Therefore, Tedd must be taken out of action. Tedd is much too well-protected for Voltaire to hope to have him killed (at least three strong Mages in his family, plus several Mages as his closest friends, Shade Tail as his live-in girlfriend/bodyguard, an Elven Godfather, and an Immoral Godgrandmother, not to mention allies that all of the above could call in). Thus, Voltaire must find a means of steering Tedd to a different path.
  3. If Trump himself is nervous about it, then maybe that nervousness will lead to a bit more self-restraint.

    Well, Rhoda is about eight times her height, so her boobs are more like giant bean bag chairs compared to Catalina. It has an extended monologue while accompanied by a bowl of petunias?

    The Will of Magic may distinguish between Internal Magic (Awakening and Dreaming) versus External Magic which requires items (magical artifacts such as the Hammer statue and the Dewitchery Diamond, and spell catalysts such as wands or Tedd's gauntlet). Magic doesn't want masses of people getting their own spells, but may overlook people using items to invoke preset spells, just as it overlooked presumably thousands of women invoking the Hammer statue.
  6. EGS Strip Slaying

    I don't think that Sarah is going to go past "fully bisexual" to the point of preferring female partners over male...more likely she will be "Boy, girl, whatevs", as Elliot terms it.

    In Tales of Rebirth, the healer (Annie) has no spells that heal a bunch of HP at once--instead, every one of her spells will heal HP in a slow trickle, and then only for characters who remain standing within the spell's zone of effect. I was able to swap her out of the active party and barely noticed the difference in terms of how many healing items I needed to use.

    Allosaurus for President!

    Pandora was uninterested in giving Ashley healing spells because the only ones she could give her were really weak ones that nobody would take notice of ("heal minor scratches", etc.). Pandora might have gone for it if she could have given a "Cure Serious Wounds" spell instead.
  10. What Are You Ingesting?

    Venomous snakes in the USA are generally native to southern latitudes (being cold-blooded, they don't survive frosty winters very well), so the likelihood of anything invented in the Northeast being called a "Snakebite" is kind of low.
  11. "Places other than liquer stores"? Does that mean that they could not be served in actual taverns previously?
  12. NP Friday November 11, 2016

    I don't know about Clerics, but we have a Summoner, a couple of Monks, and a Flying Brick handy . . . As for "boiiiing", if Rhoda's height-change is anything to go by, it takes a few seconds of concentration for her transformations, similar to Elliot's transformations.
  13. Things that make you MAD

    Yes, it often contains dung...how do they prevent it from melting in the rain?

    Ellen did say that Noah seems not to attract any attention to himself in gym class, so he probably is trying to hold back.
  15. The Weather.

    30 degree swing is average where I am, and I'm thankful for it, because otherwise there would be NO relief at night from hot daytime weather.
  16. What Are You Ingesting?

    Awesome meal!
  17. What Are You Ingesting?

    Ooh, sounds tasty.

    Who says that she didnt do that?
  19. Story Friday Nov 11, 2016

    Given that Pandora has declared Rhoda to be 100% S-rank, Rhoda might fall under the "really (magically) strong" heading . . .
  20. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    At some point (probably the multiple-mount Vulcan setup), you are consuming more ammunition than it is practical to have available, and will run out so early in the fighting that your weapon system becomes dead weight until resupply comes around.
  21. More Speculation.

    He suspects her, but this would be more solid proof.
  22. Yes. If only bad witches are ugly, and Glinda is asking Dorothy if she is a bad witch. . . Then again, perhaps it only happens over time, and it takes years of badness to become properly ugly, in which case it wouldn't show yet for someone of Dorothy's age.

    If Mama Kitsune had not turned her back on the family tradition after Noriko had abandoned her family, then Nanase might have been trained from childhood.
  24. The Weather.

    Blech, I hate that--sometimes my sweat/freeze zones even overlap, so I'm sweating and shivering at the same time.
  25. More Speculation.

    She might, which may in turn lead to him realizing that it is his mother doing this...
