01/28/08 [DMFA # 871] - It's all about the win-win

[Damaris]

That crazy Biggs.  Always thinking ahead.

[Naldru]

Yes, but with a mind so twisted it makes a corkscrew look straight.  However, I think that Dan getting killed would get Destania mad at both Biggs and Dark Pegasus.  Of course, Biggs might feel that dealing with Dark Pegasus is safer than dealing with the people sniffing around Lost Lake in an attempt to find Destania.

[Jakon]

And here I was thinking Dan was going to be working for DP. Hurrrr, I'm smart.

[Toric]

I really have to wonder how DP's latest plot in the kingdom of H'Ann interfered with one of Biggs' schemes. Maybe Biggs wanted to hire the guard dragon as a bouncer for a high-profile party he was hosting that weekend.


Let the speculation begin!!!!

[techmaster-glitch]

So, Biggs apparently doesn't know that Dan is the one who's taken down DP all three times before...

[Kayriel]

When she says Kill-Zone, I believe she's referring to the fact that Destania's clan are dragon-slayers, and that Pyroduck is obviously a dragon.

[Fresnor]

Hmm, seems Biggs doesn't know of the 'Mommy Complex'...  Any harms comes to thier babies, and thier liable to level anyone/thing that has anything to do with it, sometimes not even caring which side they were on...

[LionHeart]

So, Biggs apparently doesn't know that Dan is the one who's taken down DP all three times before...

Even if he did know, he would probably consider that that would give Dan an advantage over his own hirelings.

(Was it three times?)

[Zedd]

Im sure Dan will make out this in time....*long pause*

Put all my money on DP to loose!!

[e_voyager]

Remember Zedd you don't have to survive to win the battle. you just have to stop the other guy from succeeding.

[Anri]

Now, Panel 3.. I've seen ferrets make that face. That is a pure evil ferret look.

[e_voyager]

but what kine of evil? there are several kinds i believe

[Fex]

if Amber had drawn two fangs in Bigs mouth in the last panel he would look uber wevil 

Bigs is smarter than he looks when I saw him for the first time in the comic I thought he was kinda brainless .... 

[Reaver225]

So, Biggs apparently doesn't know that Dan is the one who's taken down DP all three times before...

You never know, DP might have been revived a dozen times and killed a few extra when no-one was looking...

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

So, Biggs apparently doesn't know that Dan is the one who's taken down DP all three times before...

You never know, DP might have been revived a dozen times and killed a few extra when no-one was looking...

Well, -someone- would have had to be looking. DP himself, at the very least, and whoever killed him. However, we think we know it wasn't Dan...

Who knows. Maybe Amber is playing with our heads again. ;-]

[Tapewolf]

C'mon Fi, what are you doing?  Even Dan can see this is stupidly dangerous...

[Stig Hemmer]

He is an adventurer!  Stupidly Dangerous is his middle name!  Er, names.

[Sid]

Knowing Dan's odd impulses, he might die just to get back at Biggs (assuming Destania will react in the "You sent him there, so now you die, too!" way some predicted).

Also, Biggs doesn't really factor in Wildy. Even though he might gamble on her never finding out that it was Biggs who sent Dan into his doom...

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

The problem with that is that it has been noted that Dan has managed to kill Dead Pegasus at least twice now, and while he died the last time around, almost, he -was- doing a certain amount of grandstanding etc. I think, if he were by himself, he'd go through DP like a hot knife through butter, honestly. He just felt he couldn't make his friends feel totally worthless...


Although I -do- look forward to a re-iteration of the light switch. ;-]

[Alondro]

I think it's rather interesting that DP doesn't seem to be very powerful, considering Dan 'killed' him with a simple sword and couldn't manage to even scratch a cubi. 

And yet, DP manages to keep coming back to life... something one would expect only phoenixes to manage.  Clearly, he has some unusual ability.

And then there's the fact that what he does interferes with Biggs' plans... which we know involve destroying the dragon race.

Hmmm... very interesting possibilities this raises.   

[Aleolus]

Uummmm, yay for the no-lose scenario?

Oh, I am so sure that Dan is just going to love that response to his honest question.

[e_voyager]

Let's look at this form the mind of E.: check your sanity at the door please

Yes Dan's sword is probably enchanted to cut through stone hard flesh.

no he never used it on Able or any other cubi that we've seen. after all against able he's used  a punch and failed. a melon and succeed. and strange honesty emotions that seemed the throw him off guard.

yes Dan has won agent DP more then once they last time seeming to cost him his life.

yes Dan is Dan enough to go after DP again in the usual 4 to six party fashion.

yes Biggs set this up and Dan's mother may not know about it yet which is a file of worms to be opened another day...

have i missed anything? 

[Kayriel]

He is an adventurer!  Stupidly Dangerous is his middle name!  Er, names.

Stupidly Dangerous
Stupidly||Dan||gerous

Apparently Dan is right smack in the middle of stupidly dangerous. =D

[Tapewolf]

I think it's rather interesting that DP doesn't seem to be very powerful, considering Dan 'killed' him with a simple sword and couldn't manage to even scratch a cubi.

I'm worried because he didn't even manage to smack down a ferret.  Of course, as people said, it's likely he didn't want to annoy Wildy or Dee by killing him.

And yet, DP manages to keep coming back to life... something one would expect only phoenixes to manage.  Clearly, he has some unusual ability.

Well, next time he should kill him, cut off his head and hammer a stake through his heart.  That ought to slow him down a little.

In any case, it's not necessarily DP self-resurrecting.  More likely his minions doing some weird ritual (Dan assumed the Shaman had done this to him initially).


And Abel is seriously going to have kittens when he finds out about this.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Stupidly Dangerous

No, "y da" is right smack in the middle of "stupidly dangerous"...

[e_voyager]

split the hair split the atom same difference. either way expect fallout

[AnizInDisguise]

Biggs looks sexily evil in that last panel

[Zedd]

Everyone seems to love Win-Win moments...Specialy the little perv-o-machino

[E-Jade]

Well he does have a point in that.  Either way you look at it he wins.

[Fuyudenki]

...Dark Pegasus knows that Dan is Dee's child.

Dark Pegasus apparently knows a lot about Dee.

Why does he even bother coming back to life?  He's going to get Dan sent after him, and if he manages to actually kill Dan, he's going to have the former head of SAIA's pain and torture department wanting to give him some... pain and torture.

For Biggs, we call this win/win.  For DP, we call this lose/epic lose.
