Not just traumatizing someone, but also being willing to murder that person's best friend solely for the purpose of inducing said trauma. Willfully killing a person for any reason other than vengeance/punishment for something that you believe that person has done is just plain murder. Now, we know that in order to avoid the auto-Reset penalty, Voltaire needs to convince himself that what he is doing is for the greater good. The question thus raised is, what end is served by forcing Tedd into a breakdown?

And Dan often uploads a new page on Thursday night rather than during the daytime on Friday.

For the answers to these and other questions, tune in tomorrow, same Goon-time, same Goon-channel.

Not only arrow fire, but fire arrows as well--the Greeks would keep trying to set fire to the PT boat, which at minimum would keep its crew busy trying to prevent fire damage.

Nah, there are plenty of short-sighted prople who see that slaves dont need to be paid wages and who forget that it means that the master needs to pay for the slave's food and other upkeep directly (i.e. they mistakenly think of a slave as zero-cost labour). There are also folks who would get off on the ego gratification of being able to abuse a slave in ways that they could not abuse a free citizen employee (e.g. legally rape, beat, or otherwise intimidate then).

Ah, Majora's Mask. The phrase "three days" with no other context was a bit ambiguous.

Sorry, typo. Pandora may be "Immoral", but I had intended to type "Immortal".

I think it's the XIIIth Amendment that Trump would prefer to repeal . . .

Ok, I don't quite get the "three days" reference . . .

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.

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.

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.

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.

"Places other than liquer stores"? Does that mean that they could not be served in actual taverns previously?

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.

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.

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.

Awesome meal!
