I can see it now.
“Buy Harky’s spear! 6m on marketplace!”
Hats! Hats for sale! Magic hats, pirate hats, hats on hats!
Today they’re asking for civil rights, tomorrow they’ll be asking for additional servers to handle the load.
I find it amusing that Byron’s eyes are closed in the same expression of gritty seriousness in both today and yesterday’s strips. One of those should be added to the Gravatar roster. I nominate Filing is Serious Business Byron.
Man… if someone could make an argument for selling players of MMOs as a labor force, I’d never have to leave the house again.
Three words: Chinese Gold Farmers.
Like.
I’ve got this nasty feeling that the council isn’t going to grant their request for a guild. :-(
Why wouldn’t they? He mentioned money, DELICIOUS MONEY.
Of course they’ll go for it! It’s a union! Give it a little time and it’ll fit right in with all the other corruption.
From “Brave! Brash! Swashbuckling … ADVENTURERS!!” to “a labor force, unionized to enter the marketplace offsetting the risks for wealthy investors.”
That’s what you get when you trade sexiness for security!
OR one could work to redefine sexiness AS security.
Or intelligence..
You know, the underadvertised qualities that distinguish TRUE sexiness from the overadvertised version
Or just go for the best of all possible worlds: Sexy security.
…wait, that came out wrong.
I prefer to Backwards Worm offstage myself. But to each his own, sweet dance moves.
Yeah, they’ll dismiss him so hard he’ll leave marks all the way to the dungeon.
It’s not even about money as much as it’s about not giving to “those people”. And, of course, defying Syr’Nj just out of spite.
Well, recall each member of the Council has their own interests.
We can guess the two elves and the gnome will back the request, but obviously that won’t be enough.
We can guess that the Admiral and Miyamoto will want to shoot it down because they have bene shown to be the most angry and intolerant of the bunch.
But that still leaves Iwatani, Persson, Jarvis, Pardo and Bedard.
Iwatani is going to for whatever suites his interest, but that man’s mind is so terrifying, I won’t venture a guess on how he will roll.
We don’t know Persson, Jarvis or Bedard that well, though two of them seem at least willing to consider this since they are not actual nobility and likely did not have their seats so long they consider it an intrisic right of their last name.
Pardo will likely just go with whoever seems like they will win, because he wants to finish business up and get on with his vacation.
is Bandit buying or selling? Perhaps the question is why isn’t she stealing?
The fact that you don’t know suggests that the answer is stealing. :)
You don’t steal from your own kind, or those willing to do business with you willingly
This doesn’t apply to kleptomaniacs.
She’s buying. And the reason she’s not stealing is because this is the Fantasy World that Byron is presenting for his sales pitch.
So…he may be laying it on a little thick.
Pathfinder Society, anyone?
Have you seen that dude with the fex in the market? He has curved swords.
curved swords
Wait, why is Rachel looking at the sword? O_o
Is she going to trade down from her ruler-sword? o_O
Lemme guess: You used to be an adventurer, until – *gets shot in knee* GAHHH!
Congratulations on the marriage!
Bandit … little wagon … heeee.
Don’t tell Bandit that it is a ‘little’ wagon (and certainly don’t let her hear you laughing about it)
Canaghem and Persson,
They think we’re nothing.
Are we nothing?
NO!
Ardaic and Jarvis,
They think they’ve bought us
HAVE THEY BOUGHT US?
NO….t yet!
-Even though we ain’t got heads of houses
We’re a new guild just by sayin’ sooooooooo,
AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW!
What’s it gonna take to stop the dragons?
Are we ready?
YEAH!
What’s it gonna take to stop the savages?
Can we do it?
YEAH!
We’ll do what we gotta do
Until we break the will of His Grace Miyamoto
AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW
AND GASTONIA TOO
Freelancers have
An axe to grind with you!
xD
Drop podium, moonwalk off stage.
Second only to:
Drop pants, moonwalk off stage
Could be a little difficult when tangled ’round the ankles.
Well, he probably tried to walk normally.
This series reminds me more and more of the Maoyu manga series, which also uses a medieval/fantasy setting to gradually introduce themes of politics and economics. That series focuses more on deconstructing archetypes as opposed to the meta aspects of this series. For example, all characters have titles, not names. The Hero is Hero, Demon King is Demon King. Head Maid, Female Knight, Shrewd Merchant, etc. Keep up the great work, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maoyu
Be it an action-heavy plot, heavy intricate politics, “real world” intrigue, or heart-warming moments the writing of the comic is always so incredible.
Thanks for saying so, Randonimity.
True that. I just don’t like how rapidly the pacing has been shifting recently. Specifically where I feel like I’m missing important parts of the story because they weren’t told. Ah but I guess whether or not I should be taking issue with it will only become obvious in retrospect. In the meantime: really enjoying the writing.
Remember that we’re getting 5 pages a week. I’m fairly sure we’re getting to see a lot more than we would have if we were still doing M/W/F updates. The rapid-fire updates do make it seem like the pace is accelerating, though.
… Sycophant.
Second panel: I imagine the chest dealer (named Gabe) shouting: “FREE CHESTS! KEYS JUST 5 RALDS!”
I keep thinking this proposal will be killed by fillibuster, resurrected as a rider in an unrelated imperial security act, which is then filibustered until it has been maimed, castrated and disfigured until it is finally approved, then sent to the lower bureaucrats who will misinterpret the provisions either out of stupidity, incompetence, negligence or self-interest.
And later when it inevitably causes more problems than it solves (or not, doesn’t matter), it will be criticized by the people who made it fail for the problems they introduced to it in the first place, repealed and basically they have to start over from scratch in five years after spending lots of money, hours or aguing and crated a whole wasted infrastructure around it.
Why do you hate Gastonia? Tide goes in, tide comes out, never a miscommunication, you can’t explain that!
so… “What do you think, sirs?”
Here here! Now where do I sign up for this Adventurer’s Guild?
..and while I’m at it…let’s push the Friggstarter into $20k territory.
Man… I think this plan economically speaking is just stupid.
The problem has been established to be that the government is rationing healing potions and conscripting healers, making adventurers more dangerous. I don’t see how giving the adventurers money will solve this problem.
It will, of course, create an incentive of more profits for adventuring, leading people to become adventurers despite the added dangers, but it doesn’t solve the problem of the Gastonian Council limiting the supply of healers and healing potions. In effect, this legislation only serves to encourage adventurers to risk their lives questing without healing supplies.
More people will DIE adventuring because of this.
They need to address the rationing problem, not simply expect more money to magically fix their problems somehow… it doesn’t matter if I have more money to pay for medical attention if there is NO medical attention to BUY in the first place!!
