Can anybody explain to me...

[Ridureyu]

...What the heck kind of reasoning is behind "The cloaked ghost is THE GHOST OF MIKO'S PALADINHOOD?"


How does this work? Every job you have gets its own ghost? If I quit my job now, the Ghost of Rid's Editor Job will chase people around?

Is it personality aspects? The Ghost of Rid's Temper and The Ghost of Rid's Sense of Humor hate each other?

Maybe Miko isn't a single person, but several souls amalgamated into one body?



Seriously, can anyone explain to me how A: this idea was suggested, and B: it looks like a lot of people agreed with it immediately.

I mean... how?

The forum recently went crazy... this is but one of the many signs...

[Cryo]

It's a concept used in many stories... a character with several extreme personalities splits between "aspects". I couldn't think of an example for a second, until I thought of this. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0382.html)

I can't remember the other shows/books that exploited this, but I've seen it often... Not that I'm a big fan of this theory, though.

[Froody]

It's the Miko fans acting like her favorite character: Ignoring all possibilities in order to arrive at a preconceived conclusion that happens to support their existing emotional state :P

Just the same as with theories like Miko suddenly bursting out of jail, immediately heading to the throne room without actually knowing Xykon and Redcloak are there, killing both villains, and voila, being redeemed :P

I can think of lots... though in most cases it has to do with a massive spike in charecter power...

This may just be me not paying attention, but Miko fans generally tend to be a little crazy and actually think like Miko. She didn't really fall, this is a test, ect (This includes the Miko Blackguard fanatics.) They look for every possible way that their favorite character can return to being a paladin.

And no, that wasn't Miko's Paladinhood ghost. That was another Paladin. I'm sure there is more then one blue cloak in Azure City.

That's not the same. have you noticed that none of those aspects of Haley ever do anything specifically independent from Haloey herself? Havinga shoulder-devil and a shoulder-angel (or a shoulder-goth) does not imply having multiple ghosts that can rampage around.

Now there's an interesting question. So far we've seen shoulder-angel and -devil (and -slaad and -modron) for Elan; shoulder-devil and -demon for Belkar; and Haley's personality fragments.

Does Miko have a shoulder-devil and shoulder-angel?

And if so, which is the good one and which is the bad one? :smallamused:

So... why did you assume that was Miko or something like that? what's your point? :smallconfused: I don't get it.

I never heard of this theory before, but it made me laugh hard.

Good angel: Smite Evil!
Lawful angel: Smite Chaos!
Evil demon: Smite! Smite! Smite!
Slaad: Rational linen dentistry!

[Ridureyu]

it's been proposed by people in at least two threads, and then usually gets at least one other person going, "yeah! I agree!"

:smallconfused: No, I've read it at thursday, which means that it was wedensday strip, as I'm few hours away from US. So we're stil waiting for friday strip, which provokes forum members to spawn bizzare theories.

It'll come up when it comes up.

For all we know he's getting Start of Darkness ready to sell, or somesuch.

I'm just waiting for it to pop up before this thread reaches page two, then everyone can go "Oh, there it is".

Oh, I'm not complaining. It'll come when it comes, as you said. But the more the strip is late, the more insane theories appear. And the "Belkar's Romantic Interest" and "House of Horrors" threads are reching new levels of disturbance.

It isn't really that implausible if you compare it to some of the others.

[dehro]

ye gods..it's easy..that's gotta be Shojo

the cloak is of the wrong color because he was no paladin, but he's still there by right/duty because of his bloodline.

[Setra]

It isn't really that implausible if you compare it to some of the others.I do actually notice all the silly theories, my favorite being Scruffy is Lirian.

I just like to feign ignorance.

Miko is an Aasimar! Haley is going to marry Belkar! Sabine has a robotic left eye that sees the future! Thog is actually a psychic warrior!

Yeah, but that was an intentional joke.

Sorry, the insanity in the forum is my fault http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45881

Paladins can not have evil little demons on their shoulders. They would fall.

There were not that many people talking about the topic in this thread. At least not in the way the starter of this thread seems to imply. It's just an idea someone tossed in the main thread and one or two people found likely. The fact that this is the first thread devoted to it means it's not something generally agreed upon.

Yeah you're right, almost as bad as those forum members who write posts just to call other people crazy.

[happyturtle]

There are so many wacky theories that it's hard to tell the jokes from them. (In case anyone is wondering, I don't really think Mr Scruffy is inside Xykon's phylactery!)

[Setra]

Yeah, but that was an intentional joke.
Really? I couldn't tell because of the complete lack of correlation to the actual story in itself.

Wait.. were you talking about the original Topic (about Rube) being a joke, or his response to mine being a joke..

See now you confused me.

I have to go to bed, but the ghost of my paladinhood is going to sit up all night obsessively watching the RSS feed for the next comic.

I just rememebered that the OT reason had something to do with the unbreakability of the honor of a paladin...
