I think we've all been through, seen or heard of similar situations.

Well, I think they could come to an agreement eventually. They both want to punish Biggs after all.

Yes BUT WHAT METHOD OF POACHING IS BEST!

For siblings the options are Court Bullion or flavored oil.

Court Bullion gives more flavor and a more tender sibling.

But poaching in Oil results in a moister sibling, but more calories.

The question is, if Biggs did kidnap Alexsi, would he have been stupid enough to mail a wedding invitation to his sister?  This presents an interesting scenario, it could quite possibly be a trap or a frame-up.

... or a really weirdly planned Birthday party.

Assuming I'm reading your sentence correctly (I'm not sure, since you've managed to mangle the quote, the grammar, and at least one word in your sentence) I believe ITOS is referring to an earlier scene, rather than the one you have in mind.

Not that that may not be what you're trying to do, I don't know.... but a little more focus on the communication wouldn't hurt, would it?

The only reason he survives Wildy is because it's bad form to destroy your sibling..Not to mention calling Siblings R Us for a new one can really tax your bank account.  :kruger

Methinks Biggs is using Alexi to get Dan to Twink Terrortory so he can marry 'her' (referring to the arc in which Dan wears a dress to try and get Alexis mallet back from Biggs) because he never did find out Dan was a guy. He thinks Dan is a girl with a mean right hook. :)

You're hardly a poster-boy for sanity, Llearch.  Though you might not be as far gone as I am but still, I doubt anyone here could stand up under the scrutiny of everyday folk.  Unless everyday folk are as nutty as a fruitbar.

As for the visit, I'm still expecting an impromptu party of some sort, as this all seems very random and I don't think even Biggs is this incredibly stupid but he might be stupid enough to think that the denizens of Lost Lake would fall for it.

There'll be pie, cake and party streamers before you know it.  You'll see!  You'll all see!!

Post by: luiqui on September 08, 2006, 11:54:07 AM
OK, I'll actually try to think and come up with a meaningful post for once. Watch out.

There must, must be a twist to this story somewhere down the line. Alexsi has been overpowered and kidnapped yes; even then, she won't exactly make for a willing bride come wedding day. Wildy would have certainly suspected something was up, and not rest until her questions were answered. That, or just go postal (what's that supposed to mean anyway? she'd give him an angry letter?). Now Biggs is certainly no fool. He wouldn't have risen to present position of power, apparently with a degree of control over the creature council http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_479.php otherwise. Wildy on the other hand... I'm not so sure. I'm not saying she's stupid, but she's a bit of a loose cannon who tends to let her fists do the talking, so Biggs would have known that such a trick could work. So what could he be planning? Perhaps he's planning something diabolical, and wants to bring her into his domain and then out of the picture. Why didn't he just kidnap her as well? Maybe he just didn't want to have to go to the trouble of kidnapping two people. This way requires less work, and assuming he knows his sister well enough, perhaps more likely to succeed. I'll admit, I'm reaching a bit on that one. What about Rowne's idea? That would require Alexsi to be in on it, which would require the whole reporters thing to be a ruse, which isn't too unlikely considering it was first mentioned only yesterday, story-time http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_622.php. Biggs could have got into contact with her with the information that she hangs around at Lost Lake from somewhere and addressing a letter to the proprietor, explaining the situation. Alexsi would then have been able to schedule the closing of the bar ahead of time.

Well, I can't think of anything else right now, so I'm going to wrap up.

Post by: llearch n'n'daCorna on September 08, 2006, 11:59:10 AM
Just so you know, "going postal" is a reference to the US Postal Service employee's regrettable tendency to snap, take weaponry to work, and dispose of as many fellow workers as they can, before turning on themselves.

Or getting the police to dispose of them, depending on cases.

It's not really as widespread as it seems, it's just the media made a big fuss about it...

Gah!  I totally missed that.  This is what comes of reading the archives backwards :P

[Jakob casts scry on "Illuminatus!"]

Okay, it's a diversion.  Alexsi's kidnap (willing or no) is a ruse to draw Dan and all the other adventurers to rescue her, while the Council's pawns kidnap the now-undefended Jyrras to neutralise him as a threat.

QuoteWhat about Rowne's idea? That would require Alexsi to be in on it, which would require the whole reporters thing to be a ruse, which isn't too unlikely considering it was first mentioned only yesterday, story-time http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_622.php.

Alexsi would then have been able to schedule the closing of the bar ahead of time.

I just don't see Alexsi as being that evil.  Prone to irrational rages perhaps, but not Machiavellian.  It would not explain why Alexsi went psycho when Merlitz left, for instance.  If the reporter thing was a lie, she wouldn't have taken it so badly, unless Merlitz was somehow important to the scheme.

Post by: Rowne on September 08, 2006, 03:28:27 PM
I admit that my idea was more pointless optimism and the desire to see a truly unpredictable plot twist rather than anything else.

I often think up crazy ideas and only once have I ever had the chance to turn to a webcomic community and say "Ha, I bloody told you that was going to happen.  I told you, did you listen to me?  No, silly sods, oh, s'only a harmless bunny rabbit ..."  Usually the response to this is "If Rowne's right, the Universe will collapse soon and the sky is falling.  Is the sky falling?  I can't be bothered to look out the window."  But I digress.

Though, actually Tape, I disagree.  It might've explained why Alexsi went psycho.  Perhaps Merlitz was in on this plan and the plan involved only the people who weren't informed.  In fact, on the impossible offchance that my crazed ramblings might hold some truth, even Wildy might be in on the surprise party thing.  Alexsi might've just been really ticked off that Merlitz wouldn't get to enjoy the festivities.

And I'd wager that Alexsi could be convinced to act upon a machiavellian plot (probably not of her design) under the right circumstances.

Perhaps Merlitz was the organizer of said shindig!

Of course, I have absolutely no idea why I'm arguing the point (other than humour, since it does amuse me at least) since it's the most utterly absurd and wholly incomprehendable thing that probably wouldn't happen not even once in a blue moon.  Yes, I actually realize that.

The more likely option is that it's a plot to make Jyrras vulnerable so a battle between magicks and gigantic freakin' mecha with huge guns will commense.

Still, all the evidence, logic, common sense and reason in the World won't cull my secret hopes for the party that will never be.

(Edit: Wrote involved where I meant to write informed.)

Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing the gigantic, stampy and JyCorp labeled Titans (http://www.fansiteads.com/tiberiumsun/downloads/images/sketches/titan_sketch.jpg) either.

I'd prefer to see Jyrras with a party hat and blower, though.  Who could stand up to such cute?

----

Actually, random thought ... doesn't Jyrras have a reality generator?  I can't help but be reminded of this.  At least I think he does, one of the boffins around here will need to confirm or explain this one.  I remember him saying something about it after our favourite bovine first set foot in his 'lab' and proclaimed it was the happiest moment of her life ... because at that moment it was pretty much candy-land.

Such a weapon turned on magick-users would be entertaining.

I had considered linking something that would make Gigantor quiver in his metal booties but Jyrras seems to go for more small, quirky and incredibly destructive (Gryffon mech) as opposed to Large and in Charge / Could End the World.

I could be completely wrong about Jyrras though and it would be fun to see him pull up in front of the council in one of those, only to ask ...

Yeah, that's a good point. I can't imagine how Merlitz would mesh in at all, really.

As another incidental thing, people have speculated that the shadowy figure in the third panel of #366 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_366.php) might be Biggs. They both have shiny things in their chestal area. But other than that, they look completely different. In fact, I'm drawn to thinking that this is the human representative on the council. Someone has probably had that thought already.

I think a more accurate question is, who isn't? After all, you're gonna have Destania, plus all her friends (Aaryanna, Fa'Lina, etc) and Bigg's Twink friends....

I was going to suggest that Dark Pegasus, but he's dead (not that that's always a show-stopper) and/or some of the people from the Evil Beach Party, but, on consideration, that'd be stretchign the invites a bit far.

Unless, of course, it really *is* Biggs on the Dark Council...

Rampant speculation:

Alexsi isn't kidnapped.  Nobody is that fool-hardly.  Instead she is off to the local Bodyguards-R-Us to find a replacement for Merlitz.

Biggs is not involved, he know better than poaching on his sisters territory.

Instead... hmmm... Jyrras is behind it all.  He is trying to arrange a surprice birthday party for Lorenda, and this was the best way (he thought) to get all her old AND her new friends to meet up.

Or something.

(Incidentally, I am a postal worker...  :gun1 :0)

Quote from: Rowne on September 08, 2006, 04:25:35 PMI had considered linking something that would make Gigantor quiver in his metal booties but Jyrras seems to go for more small, quirky and incredibly destructive (Gryffon mech) as opposed to Large and in Charge / Could End the World.

Of which the Titan is none of the above. :laugh

The Wolverine, on the other hand, is a bit better suited to that role.

Armoured Cores could bitchslap the Gryphmech silly.

I dont doubt most Gundam or whatever-mechs would be able to take on the gryph-mech...the gryph-mec was designed as an armoured transport and to hopefully defend against giant gryphons...not to deal with combat involving other machinery.

i don't think he's big enough or tough enough to survive a combinded pounding from those two.

The only reason he survives Wildy is because it's bad form to destroy your sibling..Not to mention calling Siblings R Us for a new one can really tax your bank account.  :kruger

Methinks Biggs is using Alexi to get Dan to Twink Terrortory so he can marry 'her' (referring to the arc in which Dan wears a dress to try and get Alexis mallet back from Biggs) because he never did find out Dan was a guy. He thinks Dan is a girl with a mean right hook. :)


I actually like this theory, but it probably won't happen. It requires Misdirection to a spectacular degree, and asumes Biggs hasn't had at least a year or more in comic time  to figure out that Dan's the man. Although it could work  if Daniel  was a Dead Ringer for  Alexi (minus hair) while in drag, and maybe Biggs thinks Alexi is "Danielle" and that she dyed her har blonde then the theory would fall under the same catagory.

Taskannon?  Poor Taski.

Though I wholeheartedly support the idea of a crew of technicians standing around a gigantic cannon and yelling out its name every time it's fired.  Perhaps Jyrras could mount it on an airship too.  Yeah, that'd work.  Then he'd hire a chap named Vyse to fly it!  ... what?

I like Skies of Arcadia, I can't help it.

I'm still fond of the idea of him using his reality altering tech though, I'd love to see that put to good use.  He could likely deploy something like that on a large scale now anyway because he has the computing power to handle it.  As I recall, Jyrras did create sentient machine life.

We'll have bouncing marshmallow moons.  You'll see that I'm right, you're all right ... I mean, see that I'm right!

Personally, I can't wait to see what the sentient machine life looks like...
.. or what it's going to do.

... thoughts involve utter willingness to redesign oneself, since it's just hardware, right? It's an odd form of body conciousness, or lack thereof...

Strange how these thoughts appear at 3 am :-)
Title: Re: 9/8/06 Poaching rights
Post by: Rowne on September 09, 2006, 05:07:17 PM
I sheepishly admit that these thoughts are commonplace in my mind.  Plus it's a form of life free of instinct, that makes for an interesting conversation point, it also has the ability to programmatically remove any personality traits it finds distasteful.  So whereas superstars can only reinvent themselves to a degree and as a publicity stunt, machines can do it for real.

We should start a thread taking bets on how the machine is going to first model itself and whom it's going to emulate (most new life forms do tend to emulate).  Having a mechanical Deebs-clone around would be rather hilarious.

Or even have a hard-coded, irremovable set of traits...

...like an extreme[/i] disdain for anything organic.

I once used the example to describe such a situation;

"A single unit would only perhaps refuse to open fire at short range to avoid getting any biological matter on it's chassis. That's how much they disdain organic life."
