      Perhaps it has something to do with Penk only having eyes for a certain dwarf.

    No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow.

      Always loved that line. I always use it in paraphrased fashion.

        I know. He’s sooo disappointed. As much as the Five seem to be coming back from the dead, he just figures to nuke ’em from orbit…Just to be certain.

      I know a certain man, from Mars, if you will, who would be baffled as to the location of an Earth-shattering kaboom. This would answer all his questions.

    Chill it with those bombs, Gob. There’s snow problem that can’t be fixed by a nice friendly chat.

    So I went looking back in the archives to see if I’d forgotten the storyline where Best ran a foul the Goblin Mafia and found only this: http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-1-page-20/

      At first I found it odd that Gobularence could so easily identify Best after all these years, but then again I doubt the torching of the Don’s mansion was subtle. Hell he probably wrote a book with a chapter on that particular deed.

        I think a popular song would be more Best’s style than a book.

    “The peacemakers? Here?”
    …. Uhhh … yeah, that’s why you’re out here, Penk. Remember Madame Arfa? “The peacemakers have gone to seek the winter elves! Our champions must intercept them!” – or did you think this was a funky winter sight seeing cruise?

      I read that more as skepticism that the mission was going to be as easy as it seemed to be going.

      … We here at Guilded Age are not too proud when we’ve committed a continuity error.

      Ironically, we actually checked the archives to make sure on this point and still somehow got it wrong. It gets hard as Hell after nearly 7 years.

      Fixed.

    Just thought of something. There are theories that Penk is run by our Sepia world Hacker counterpart of similar physical features. If fan theories that characters run on autopilot with people offline and people RP them online… Does Penk resist outright violence to the Peacemakers due to IRL knowledge of their situation?

      I’m under the impression that the Sepia Five are all playing the halfling crew that Bandit is running with.

      Penk was actually on Xan’s login page, so unless he’s just a big-name NPC…

        Check the link I posted just below — it looks like Lia’s login shows Penk too.

      Sepia folk have directly commented on their characters doing stuff while they’re offline, no fan theory there. Rachel getting deleted, for instance, happened while Lia was asleep.

    I’d honestly find it really humorous for Best and Byron to just be rolling on top of each other throughout a parley, continuing the conversation depending on who’s on top. My sense of humor is terrible yet simple.

      Haha, I was actually thinking it might be better if that happens so Best might be too engrossed with that and keep his mouth shut during the parley.

      So very true, if Best winds up in the clutches of a Lv.10 Gob-Mafia Torturer I’ll be fine with it.

    You should never f*ck sideways. Diagonally – that’s how it’s done.

    Also, why does this episode remind me of Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines?
