Moreso at the bad writing on both sides than which side gets to be morally superior. For the “resolution” specifically, there just wasn’t the setup for the sides to be like “lol gg” and just walk away.
It’s less so that than the fact that people who are satisfied tend to just not say anything while people who aren’t satisfied will pipe up with something. c: It’s not your fault; this happens to EVERYONE.
I been waitin 2 see what Asak had to say to gravster. I can hardly wait to see what HR mini me Carol and our favorite gunslinger/reporter are up to. I have always liked the way the narative has switched up back n forth. Now tha t I seen how Goblaurance messed with our protagonists I can hardl.y wait to see what is on the other end of the Sky Elf portal. You cant please all of the people all of the time but you can please me all of the time. Keep it up.
You can’t please everyone 100% of the time. But you can DISplease a some people 100% of the time. I don’t know if that’s comforting or not. Probably not?
I had forgotten about this, entirely. I really enjoy when Gravedust does his thing.
So, wait, what happened to all the Peacekeeper soldiers? Did they get wiped out by friendly fire from their own airships? Cause there was still a whole savage army left at the end, there. Were those bombs hollow?
Armagede Con was my favorite story arc so far. I’m just surprised his soul is still kickin it in Arkerra. What? Only his body went through the rock ring? I recognized the set as soon as our band of adventurers stumbled on to it. Hope we find out what Gravy’s homeboy’s spirit meant bout that gap that must not be crossed. Oh the suspense!
There’s … more. I– I saw … something. It was a man, or at least I think it was a man? with glasses and a handlebar mustache. He said he was a webcomic writer. And … and … he w-was wearing a saucy little nurses’ uniform?!
“And, I saw you, Gravedust. You were submerged in a tube. Hoses, wires… And… and… you were naked. I almost hurled… until I remembered I don’t have a body. Is that what I would have looked like, if I had gotten old and chubby? …. Wait! Where are you going?”
“Eternal rest isn’t ready for you. I will return in a decade… or three.”
“But, wait! There were four others in tubes! Only, their butts weren’t as wrinkled and saggy as yours.”
It’s hard to feel too much sympathy for him. He was going to kill his cat to fill his blood dispenser. Sorry, killing a pet in cold blood like that? Very cultist. Very evil.
Yay finally past the war part.
And soon back to the irl/cross reality thing perhaps?
Note to self:
We will never please 100% of the audience 100% of the time.
Boo already past the war.
And soon back to the dumb irl/cross reality thing.
:P
Well still overall I’m way less into the war stuff, more this double life and the comedy aspects~nods~
Still great story,just as a reader, hoping it dosen’t end up as a WoW everyone works together,sweeps the attrocites under the rug sort thing.
Though take it if I’m bothering with the comments I can shut myself up
Ooh, boy, it’s interesting you mentioned WoW. I bet it just burns your biscuits that the Alliance isn’t inherently morally superior to the Horde, huh?
That’s a big damn pot you’re stirring there.

Nah, we’ll still always do whatever story stuff we want to see ourselves.
I am just always surprised what some people respond to over others is all.
One of the advantages of web publishing is that the only ones you really have to please are yourselves.
On one hand, Penk and his crew are bad-ass and it’s great to see them triumph over the filthy
AlliancePeacekeepers……but, on the other hand, H.R.’s quest for goodhood is fun too.
So, basically, both halves of the story are nice.
Nah, it’s just funny because there are lots of comments on the sepia comics that are all “OMGGG wtf can we get back to arkerra pls”
Still waiting for the dance-off, personally. Get past all this boring fantasy stuff.

The vocal minority and all that.

I enjoy where ever the storyline takes us. Granted, I also read Faans from start to finish in one week, and I enjoyed that adventure.
Pleasing your audience is overrated. Confusing your audience is where it’s at!
You can’t please everyone 100% of the time. But you can DISplease a some people 100% of the time. I don’t know if that’s comforting or not. Probably not?
Pleasing 75% of people 75% of the time is a good average I find.
Aim to please %90 of the audience %10 of the time. It’ll even out…
PITA readers, amirite? Who needs ’em.
Safe bet whenever you write anything with an audience of more than one person, really.
Dude, do you do anything other than complain, complain, complain? Sheesh.
I was wondering when we’d get back to this guy. Good that the gang is finally getting a hint of what’s really going on.

Oh NO A CLIFFHANGER! Also coming back to a story ark I hardly remember. Time to reread!
There’s … more. I– I saw … something. It was a man, or at least I think it was a man? with glasses and a handlebar mustache. He said he was a webcomic writer. And … and … he w-was wearing a saucy little nurses’ uniform?!
and he was bending over in front of a camera and he was sp… no, no, the horror, I cannot go on.
The Goggles! They do NOTHING!
It was Ashok-ing sight!
Who knew the dead talked so damn much.
What?
Boooo for Chatty Cathy.
We talk plenty. Most people just don’t listen. Read your history books people!
Enter mini naked HR in 13:55. 13:54, 13:53, 13:52….
Do you see a pattern emerging here?
Oh. My.
That sort of … something … is never good to hear.
At least he only said it in italics. If it was a bold … something … it’d be really bad.
And if it was a CAPITALISED … SOMETHING … i’d figure it was definitely just about half past get-the-hell-outta-Dodge…
“And, I saw you, Gravedust. You were submerged in a tube. Hoses, wires… And… and… you were naked. I almost hurled… until I remembered I don’t have a body. Is that what I would have looked like, if I had gotten old and chubby? …. Wait! Where are you going?”
“Eternal rest isn’t ready for you. I will return in a decade… or three.”
“But, wait! There were four others in tubes! Only, their butts weren’t as wrinkled and saggy as yours.”
“Enjoy eternity, down here. Bye.”
“Noooooooooo….”
It… it was full of stars…
I mean, sure, I joined up a death-worshipping apocalypse-cult, but I didn’t think I’d actually die, y’know?
…on the wing.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shores of the Rankin Lake. I watched gnome blunderbusses flash and glitter in the dark near Kings Mountain. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain…”
Wow, what a reference. If I hadn’t just seen Bladerunner this would have been merely poetic; now its heavy, man.
And the bestest part? Rutger adlibbed that entire scene (‘adlibbed’ isn’t in the spellchecker, but ‘Rutger’ is? o_O)
Deep stuff man.
You see me, using this face? Everything I do is deep.
Oh, yeah, this is happening. Like, at the same time. They’re gonna be pissed when they get home.
It’s hard to feel too much sympathy for him. He was going to kill his cat to fill his blood dispenser. Sorry, killing a pet in cold blood like that? Very cultist. Very evil.
