You know, I sort of imagine that with all the things that could go wrong eventually some of the adventurers/soldiers would turn to “normal” jobs, and as such become guardsmen, blacksmiths, herbalists, etc. Let us be honest, anybody who will open a Blacksmith shop or become a healer first will have a monopoly.
Some of the stuffed animals in the room seem semi-human. The bear on the previous page is obviously a werebear and the moose has a humanoid face, especially the eyes. The snarling bird is probably an Avian.
“Also, some of the noble children have built a pillow fort in the main dining hall and claimed it sovereign territory. I suggest we deal with that more pressing issue first.”
It could fit, if you encircled the coin with the quote, or just stared menacingly at the coin until it made room. Fightopians will likely prefer the latter.
A band of soldiers ? What does admiral Annunziata mean ? They can’t be soldiers : if they left Gastonian Armed Forces, they’re renegades, mercenaries or traitors. Former Gastonian service members, at maximum.
Besides, why Syr’nj finds it hard to imagine Ardaic sanctionning Gastonian on Gastonian violence ? *scratch*
Soldiers are soldiers. Just because they defect doesn’t suddenly make them not soldiers, especially if they’re continuing to fight for some other banner.
On the second point, Ardaic is a patriot and decidedly Lawful in alignment. The civil disorder of Gastonians fighting each other would be unacceptable to him.
The ideal of Outer Haven has always been fairly noble, in my opinion, but Big Boss kept going about it the most violent and abrasive way possible. Though, it was all a ruse to try and stop the Patriots, anyway, so the feasibility of Outer Haven is moot.
You could probably print it on a dollar bill, though…
Also, one ‘L’ in ‘field marshal’.
Don’t say I never give you guys anything to do.
Fixed.
while you’re fixing things… that should be “your pardon” not “my pardon”
Yeah, sure.
Fixed again.
While you’re fixing things… there is this tiny hole in the ozone layer over antarctica…
Ehn, they’re both Graces. Nominally equals.
Technically that’s two, what with the one in ‘field’. =P
You have a point, I actually thought that the error was “fielld”, not “marshall”
Double facepalm – when one is not enough.
You can’t see Syr’Nj’s left hand = It could be a triple!
And technically Ardaic isn’t face palming. It’s that pressure hold to keep you from busting a vein when someone does something mind numbing stupid.
…I’m sure there needs to be an official technical term for that…
“Fingering the bridge of his nose” is a common expression for that. Not nearly as common as facepalming, of course.
Don’t you mean “Pinching the bridge of his nose”?
He said what he meant.
One facepalm, one bridgefinger.
Maybe it could be /facepinch
A nation of adventurers. Founded by adventurers. Populated by adventurers. How many ways can this go wrong? Let’s make a list…
No merchants to buy vendor trash…
Kobolds, Goblins, and other various low level trash will be perma-camped in addition to the normal contested spawns.
There will most likely be a lot of lag.

That is, if they do understand the meaning of the word “Monopoly” well enough to try and exercise it.
The last word in the statement was actually the official signature.
Well, now we know who the Dan Hibiki of the Arkerra factions is.
No such thing as a free lunch!
Boar and moose (panel 2) are displeased at the interruption.

Nation building is easier than it looks, keeping said nation is another story.
Heheheh. This funny.
“Also, some of the noble children have built a pillow fort in the main dining hall and claimed it sovereign territory. I suggest we deal with that more pressing issue first.”
Because clearly a blanket fort is superior. Have these children not been taught anything?
I claim Gastonia in the name of Gastonia!

That might not fit on a coin, but “you lookin’ at me?” would.
Sounds like we’re about to see some Gastonian-on-Gastonian violence after all ..
No, no–it’s going to be Gastonian-on-Fightopian violence, if the rebels have their say!

This one killed me today, Phil and Co. Thanks for the laugh!
Apparently their official statement-writer is Dubya.
I needed a good giggle. This made my morning :)
A band of Adventurers has claimed some dirt as their own? Quick appoint a Quest Giver!
Congratulations, Fightopians. You’ve managed to make Outer Heaven seem like a sane and rational concept by comparison.
The ideal of Outer Haven has always been fairly noble, in my opinion, but Big Boss kept going about it the most violent and abrasive way possible. Though, it was all a ruse to try and stop the Patriots, anyway, so the feasibility of Outer Haven is moot.
So, how long do you think it will take until Frigg defects?
i..i want to join them
