Belker's Demise

[jtpete86]

Not that I want my second favorite character to be eliminated, but when is a year from when Roy received the confirmation of Belker's death? I know they said it was storyline time - but when? Where are we at, time wise, from the prophecy?

Thanks

edit: I just also learned about the post mentioned above.

So it seems likely Belkar does not die within the current plot arc (which might not take that long).

It is unclear if Rich meant "Belkar has roughly four weeks left" or "Belkar has a maximum of roughly four weeks left". The latter case could be "Belkar dies in five minutes to roughly four weeks".

As far as the prophecy goes, the latter is correct. The Oracle said he'd die before the end of the year, not exactly at the end of the year. And I doubt Rich was intending to tell us otherwise with his posts, he was simply referencing the same timeframe the rest of us were.

I also doubt that. But we cannot know.

Well I for one think he's not really going to die.

The above is a lie and it is not really what I think.
