Maybe it's because he said he didn't want to burn himself out by doing one long arc after another. Besides, I think he's inclined to answer questions about what he left out to a reasonable degree.

PhoenixAsper

They do all suck, though.

Seriously, nothing is going to happen to kill King.

Seconded, there.

PhoenixAsper

He was still feeding his negative emotions and possibly hatred: am I missing something? :? Sorry for failing to understand. :oops: It's just that this world's system of morality is looking more and more suspect, and Pete's actions have no good moral justification that I can think of. The ends do NOT...

PhoenixAsper

Huh. This sucks. I'm not going to make too many comments on this, but it is congruent--Pete did Joel a "favor" by basically putting him on a fast track to heaven. How? :| What I'm getting is that Pete meant for King to be a source of dark power in order to win the game. No doubt had he suc...

There is to be no name-calling or other flame-baiting in this thread. There is a difference between objectively stating one's positive or negative criticism and ramming it down the author's throat. If you say "I have a concern with X" and the author's reply is "trust me, I've been wo...

PhoenixAsper

There's one I haven't heard.

I also edited my previous post on cosmic matchmaking. I think I got it more accurate now.

PhoenixAsper

<snrk> Raining puppies and kittens sound cruel and unusual to the puppies and kittens. :lol: :roll: You are way too invested in this. Like seriously. It's a funny animal comic with some serious bits for goodness sake. Repeat to yourself. "It's just a cartoon, you should really just relax."...

PhoenixAsper

Well that is why it gets into "celestials don't care about mortals" which is only half the story. They DO care about mortals, which is why there is a heaven. They just don't care about the exact same things mortals do. Well, I HOPE they care about love and friendship at the very LEAST, th...

What I don't get is that Rick has been focusing on 'the roots' of the characters for a long time now. What your saying Liam boils down to. "I don't like it, I only liked it when it was about funny animals and the funny stuff they do." That's precisely it . That's the kind of comic I thoug...

Wow. Lot's of MAJOR reaction, as to be expected. Here's what mindset I was in this morning: <sigh> Finally, the truth. And the truth is that a lot of it is a lie. Milton's dream for human/animal equalization, the prophecy I waited for a long time to see fulfilled, perhaps even Joel's supposed redemp...

PhoenixAsper

I would concur with the earlier statements. It's looking more and more like Pete and SD dragged Grape, Sabrina, Tarot, King and possibly Peanut into the middle of a celestial sibling rivalry-thing. -_- Despite, you know, not being siblings. I'm now suspicious of SD and her motives, and light of rece...

PhoenixAsper

FIRES?!?

Sorrow: WHERE is kurowolfe?!

PhoenixAsper

Did this seriously just happen like this? :shock: :? I think, Pete, I now understand you a little more. Unless you're flat out LYING. Defense mechanisms can do TERRIBLE things to people. I should know. :( Since King hardly has it the worst of anyone in the world (not by a LONG shot) As the writer of...

PhoenixAsper

Thanks guys.

PhoenixAsper

AND this could tie into shenanigans that Keene may be about to pull on earth.

PhoenixAsper

Considering it was just a physical transformation, the is no existential question at all. King is just a name. Just like Joel is a name. They both refer to the same person, the same soul. Joel has not been replaced. His body has had extensive plastic surgery, but he is still the same guy. Not for m...

PhoenixAsper

Which brings me back to what I said earlier: Pete practically ERASED a human being , Joel, and as we knew him, he could only be a memory in King's head. As far as I'm concerned, most of the time, Joel does not exist . In the past, that's the sole way I've been able to keep up on this without gettin...

PhoenixAsper

You'll need to adjust your expectations of what the court is looking for. They aren't (at least to a legal degree) interested in personal feelings of individual mortals. Bahamut said that celestials are allowed to do as they see fit on mortal worlds. That's................................. kind of ...

PhoenixAsper

They want to determine if his actions aren't malicious. :| Let's see: he irrevocably altered a man's life (perhaps erasing or ruining his existence as a man entirely), treated him like most people would treat their pets outside BG (to the point of extreme humiliation), almost always spoke in a cond...

It's just important to some of us, is all.

Also, I can't WAIT to know what his explanation is going to be. This ought to be RICH.

So far, he's given me no reason to think of him as anything but a maniacal, powergaming troll who needs to be put in his place.

PhoenixAsper

The judge is WHO?! Careful, Rick: I wouldn't want you getting a cease-and-desist from Square-Enix.

(I am WELL aware that they don't have copyright on the name, but he looks QUITE similar to his incarnation in FFX.)

PhoenixAsper

Meant to post this yesterday... :shock: :shock: :? :? I can has drama/universe truth/Pete's motives/seriousness/Apetcalypse now? Why am I concerned he'll get off on some sort of technicality? Or have a VERY good and satisfying (at least to the cosmic beings) explanation for his actions that lets him...

Thanks everybody!!

@ Brent: Not really, they are a small one, but successful.

Sorrow: Haven't heard from kurowolfe in forever.

PhoenixAsper

Peanut and Grape at the mall? Excellent and interesting!

I get the feeling that with what Rick has said concerning arcs soon to happen, this will be the fun, happy, zany arc before the Apetcalypse. Looking forward to both.

PhoenixAsper

You know, it doesn't HAVE to be that most people don't want to see this story, and those who do and those who like it are in the minority. If that is so, then I am in an even more minor minority. I never said I LIKED it, but I never said I wasn't INTERESTED, either. I want this Cosmic Nerds thing to...

PhoenixAsper

This arc will also sorta-tie into the one at the end of the year. I just wanted to get some more Peanut/Grape in before that I see. I assume you mean the end of the COMIC year, not the ACTUAL one. I just happen to feel that this epic cosmic game/Mesopotamian legend/doomsday prophecy thing has been ...

PhoenixAsper

Rick, my awesome-sense is sensing something in this dialogue.......... are you finally starting to build toward the payoff that's been left hanging for a long time? Oh, I hope so. Elements that I predicted would cross paths are beginning to do so. But something tells me that that fox and Keene will ...

Quoted for truth. Is Keene going to have Karishad be his "test dummy" for using this horrible temple?

PhoenixAsper

Indeed. I don't even want to BEGIN to imagine what he'd spend their money on.

PhoenixAsper

Do I sense an appearance by Celia and Thomas Milton as well?

PhoenixAsper

Well, I want to say nice knowing you, Steward, but I actually kind of feel for him. Aaaaaaaaand now the ferrets will be COMPLETELY out of control. EDIT: Why am I getting the feeling that Karishad will now be their steward, and the arc will end with the ferrets being totally destitute? Probably won't...

PhoenixAsper

Are you regretting this yet, Keene?

Hee hee!

Why am I getting a definite over-the-top Fozzie Bear vibe from this guy?

If this is what he's really like, it must be QUITE the adventure talking to him.

PhoenixAsper

<mouth hangs half open at Keene's plan>

Uhhhhhhhhhh-huh.

THIS is a good idea. YEAH.

PhoenixAsper

Foxstar, I think you are about to get your wish.

Also, what super-arc?

PhoenixAsper

Enraged at being left for being a zoo animal and thinking his family doesn't care about him, Keene takes his displeasure out on everyone nearest to him, cutting the other five ferrets out of the Milton fortune, firing Jeeves, evicting King and the wolves, and turning Karishad into a talking taxiderm...
