Total aside: My grandmother had a clock that would sometimes strike fourteen times or more before stopping. It was pretty old.
And yeah, I get the feeling Wizard just plows ahead, come what may. No takebacks!

You guys act like Wizard's never changed his mind before.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - masamunemaniac - 02-05-2008 09:18 PM
But was protecting Shadehawk originally a conscious decision? Or was it something he done without thinking?
Say he's decided not to save Shadehawk from the brink of death any more. He would then let Shadehawk die if somehow that would happen (and Wizard could have prevented it), because he didn't change his mind on that decision, even though the experiment (whatever it may be) would probably be completely ruined by this rather than merely "tainted" by changing his mind.
I may not have communicated that well. And either way it probably makes little difference.

Prior to that change of heart, Wizard may have just happened to decide "I'll go save him" every time he saw Shadey in danger. This is not the same as deciding in advance "I will save Shadehawk every time he's in danger".
I don't know whether that's actually the case, but I think it's what Masa's getting at.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - masamunemaniac - 02-05-2008 10:41 PM
Hooray, Milo managed to read through my garbled attempt at communication!
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was wanting to say.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Aegof - 02-05-2008 11:45 PM
I figured the Guardian Devil bit implied that keeping Shadehawk alive was a part of The Plan.
I admit that it could've just been Wizard acting mysterious and spooky.
Also holy crud that comic's from like five years ago.

Holy crud it'll take five more years to advance the plot by a similar amount.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Boss^Boss - 02-06-2008 01:49 PM
So, there's a sinister conspiracy behind everything that has been going on.
Sudden plot twist! Cardmaster Neon duels Wizard in a game of cards, using a Trinary Black Hole deck, thus skipping the plot ahead several years, and updating the archives accordingly!
Not going to happen, huh. I suppose it's good enough, as is.

I kinda wonder that, too. I still hope bricks weren't involved.

Loving Hector's anime-style expression in the second last panel. Also how Wizard just said "yes".
As for what happened to Tera, I say that Hector made her a test subject for his experiments.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Darg - 02-08-2008 10:16 AM
Wizard's "yes" was classic, I agree. But ... is it really that much of a shocking reveal? Most of us already knew, and I'm guessing the rest had some strong suspucions.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - masamunemaniac - 02-08-2008 10:34 AM
Interesting to see that Wizard wants to know about Tera. His expression in the second panel looks markedly sane as he's asking. And Hector's refusal to tell him? I wonder what it's all about.

The exchange about Wizard's insanity is the joke, not the "shocking reveal." For new, shocking information, look at, well, everything else.

It would have been funnier if Wizard started listing board games in the first panel.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Aegof - 02-12-2008 12:11 AM
Does this count as new information?  We know so little of the specifics that I forget how much I've extrapolated and how much we've been told.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Chris B - 02-12-2008 12:37 AM
I think it is new information, it helps give a picture of how Jacob might have gotten the Silver Arrow.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Darg - 02-12-2008 01:14 PM
Holy hell, that most certainly counts as new info!
In only a few weeks of updates, Webby has revealed nearly as much as he has in five years.
Cooooollll.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Aegof - 02-15-2008 01:50 AM
Tera Corp really is evil. Guess I'll have to stop thinking of Hector as Cancer Man.
Oh and there's some stuff about Jacob and Dechs and some prototype or whatever.
RE: Phase 8: Manipulators; Chapter 1: Pawns and Knights - Ultros - 02-15-2008 02:49 AM
Hey. Guys. I may just be jumping to conclusions, but I think Dechs is actually Shadehawk.

Yeah, right. And I suppose Celestina is Crossroad too, right? Crackpot.
