Spaseman posted:I went for it and built my own that barely fit in below the limit. And speaking of avatars, are there any other threads where nearly all the posters have avatars from the topic of that thread? Its like Gunnerkrig has so many panels that would make for good avatars, everyone feels compelled to get one (with good reason). MSPA/Homestuck have a lot of avatars, but they're of (intentionally) dubious quality, and they have a bad problem where they look way too alike because of the art 'style'.

It's pretty obvious that he's covering for something - if I had to guess, Anja and Donald have some kind of magic-meets-technology system cobbled together, but he only refers to it as the technology aspect because his place of employment has taught him to not consider the magical half valid.

MikeJF posted:...that's what they explicitly described it as in the first place. I forgot about that (gogo late-night posting), but I also suspect there's some kind of reason relating to Donald's background that would explain why he sees his and Anja's creations as just machines. Anja and Donald talk about the same system very differently - Anja talks about how the system uses etheric technology to make everything run because she's very aware that the power is a real thing, whereas Donald only refers to the mechanical aspect of their system when talking about it. I mean, the guy's wife is Etherically gifted in her own right, and she's one of the Court's signalers (with an Etheric device!), and he's like "That sure is an amazing computer, huh?". It's just an interesting duality between the way the two of them view their creation. Niton fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Mar 30, 2012 |

Fecha posted:Gunnerkrigg has always been (to me) a comic that was built around stories, relationships and interpersonal conflict. In that regard, I don't really worry about advanced computers magically solving problems, because as the robots have established, feelings are beyond their RAM capacity. The robots say that, but that's not really true, is it? Robot, King Markerface, and the original series robot from Chapter 33 all seem to display deep emotion, and even a lot of the ones wandering around the court react to negative or positive stimulus the same way the humans at the court do. It could just be that they don't feel emotion, but only respond to it, but it seems as though at least some of the Models at the court are capable of holding the same basic emotions as any other 'lifeform'.

Nettle Soup posted:She obviously made an effort to take the beacon stick with her each time though. That says a lot. I think that for all her outward defiance, Carver is very aware that Eglamore is on "her side" when something goes wrong. He's one of, what, 3 court-aligned adults she feels she can trust? Even among them, he's probably the most likely to break with the court to protect her.

Ursine Asylum posted:
What if Coyote missed a spot at some point, and the (saner) Ysengrin told Jones what was going on at a meeting between the sides? From what we know about Ysengrin, he's not an evil force of any kind, but rather one that literally doesn't know what he's been doing for the last god-knows-how-many years, with all of the hatred caused by that layered upon his soul. Coyote's kind of a sick gently caress.

Perhaps Coyote only casts shadows when someone is taking him seriously? It would fit in with his supposed non-existence if he only projected shadows when someone cared about him.

There are plenty of scientists working at the court who not only don't have etheric powers but actively disdain it's use and they STILL have incredible sci-fi technology. Again: her mother is at minimum a techno-wizard, if not an actual one. It's pretty likely she shares at least some of her mother's talents.

Safari Disco Lion posted:she randomly passes out/goes into a coma/whatever it is and it has yet to be fully explained but takes up a whole chapter completely out of the blue. I thought the reason why she passed out fully explained by the end of the chapter - it was because Anthony was using some kind of Etheric Reading through that part again, it would seem that Annie actually helped send him those tools through Microsat 5 in the previous chapter. Kind of creepy! I wonder what Annie would think if she could put 2 and 2 together.

Unless there was a disagreement on who to pick for Medium, in which case his powers might create a tiebreaker that didn't upset anyone.

I get the distinct feeling that the Headmaster himself has a problem with Annie, and he (or someone else) is using the court as a front. From the sounds of the other Court members in attendance, it's more than a bit strange that everyone but him is shocked. Maybe Anthony tried to do (or succeded in doing) something incredibly stupid, and this is their form of backlash?

A big flaming stink posted:Again, everyone knows that Annie is by far the most qualified to be Medium. The Headmaster is choosing the inferior candidate either due to her independent streak, or her extra-curricular activities (the business with Jeanne) or both. If the independent streak was such a huge concern, I don't think everyone would be so shocked, so I would disregard that as the likely reason. Reason 2's more likely.. but aside from Parley, Smitty and Kat, who's she told? Parley and Smitty know exactly as much as she does, at any rate. A big flaming stink posted:
What characterization are you basing that off of? He seems way more interested in doing the right thing, unless.. oh god  Crazy rampant speculation time: What if they need to replace Jeanne and want to use Parley to do it

Any goodwill he might have had from Antimony (and possibly some of the Court staff) has to have been seriously curtailed by that suggestion.

It seems pretty obvious, contextually, that Jones is willing to go to the Forest with Annie -when she goes-. That's probably the most interesting thing on the page, too - Jones pretty clearly has pathos, even if she's unhuman. I wonder why she likes Annie so much?
