Title: 21/12/08 [#112] - Queen Adharia the Usurper
Post by: Tapewolf on December 21, 2008, 08:11:06 AM
Holy God, that was awesome.  I like her.
That's also really not good if Veled is on her side.  Not good for the other teams, anyway...

Hrm.

I was under the impression that at the end of the game show, there will be one winner, and fifteen corpses. That suggests that some of the people we like will end up dead. Which will be a problem...

... although not for the author. ;-]

That may be, but you have to admire her goal.

My reaction:

...Wait, what? :U

These last few pages are suffering from a severe lack of backstory and exposition.

I have to admit, this is one of the first pages for a while which I could really understand.  I have no idea why it's happened, but two things stand out:
1. Veled and HRH go back a while and are apparently friends.
2. HRH is using the show as a sort of free combat training course, apparently so she can usurp the throne back home.  I think that is really cool, assuming she survives (logically the show should stop when there are only Executioners left alive, but that's just a guess).

Either that or no Executioners at all.

Both would be unlikely, but hey, could be interesting to run through...

Woo, I've been elected to do damage control again.

On Last Resort whoever is left alive at the end gets to go free. In theory they could all survive, which is why events in the show are both deadly and there are the executioners. Killing is promoted and good for ratings.

Addy really wouldn't be usurping since she is HRH, but there's currently something standing in her way... you could say that the problem with her is that things are almost too easy xD

In a final note, I take credit for half of this awesome joke.

If she's princess, that generally means there's someone already on the throne.  Usurpation generally involves getting rid of that someone messily.

No, because while you only know half the story, I'm jealously guarding that half.

... it'll be more obvious after the episode / when I post Addy's profile, anyway.

And please don't take half the credit for the joke. If you did, I'd feel like a right tit.  :giggle

Doesn't count that way just because you're a fan of your own comic.
