Punishment game was about treasure and free for all. Although paladin wasn't there.

That was an author error. One of the rare times that neorice reuploaded a page to fix a mistake in it. If you refresh, you'll see Shalhia appear in the middle of the group.

I'm a bit lazy with typo's, but an entire character missing from a panel was a bit much hahahaha.

It did save us from about 2 chapters worth of dumb speculation about there the %¤# Shayla were.

[Kantaki]

Those interviews will just keep getting worse, won't they?

[Kornaki]

Don't they kind of not have time for this though?

[Kantaki]

Well, Alden certainly knows the most important part of the business.
PRESENTATION!
I could hear the background music change when he pulled that teleport.

Burk though...
You already got to see the man in action.
What more can you possibly want?

We're back to Noah's Arc

Also the small cat-berus is cute. I want one!

[lord_khaine]

It looks like an abomination. I suspect its there to inflict mental damage.
Well. The royal guard is already doing a good job there. Not doing a good job fostering loyalty though.

Everyone wants one.
Until it grows up.

I'll just feed it my enemies.

A renewable resource.
You always make new ones.

Huh. Another chapter change already? I'm not used to fast webcomic pacing.

I am saddened by Noah bait and switch, and my day is ruined.

Don't worry about that.

I really wouldn't be suprised if that girl with glasses turns out to be worse than Levin

I don't think it'd be possible for her to be worse than Levin. Take a look here:
http://neorice.com/hoh_tobi_1172
http://neorice.com/hoh_tobi_1173

Imagine Levin saying things like "we should give the faceless man a fair share of the loot" and "we should leave the other players some amount of money, too". I mean, sure, her motives for doing so are self-serving (basically the money she leaves behind is to serve as a bribe) but would Levin actually care about that?

[Gez]

As soon as she's been told what button does what, she voted to kill.
Even Levin waited until he knew all the rules

But that's the thing. She had a plausible denial, claiming she misunderstood the explanation because Smile shifted from "vote for killing" to "vote for not killing" in his description. True or false here is irrelevant, the point is that she actually takes into account how people may react and try to plan for it.

Levin has made it his life's mission to antagonize as many people as possible. Like here in the beginning, it's like he's trying to get Fox to snap.

I cant see how being a better manipulator than Levin somehow makes her a better person?
So far the only meaningful difference between them seems to be, she cares about putting up a facade.
But she kinda showed her true face at the vote. Where Levin himself called her out on her BS.

You are proven correct once again. She's a snake in tall grass, compared to Levin that's an Anaconda in plain sight. The difference merely seems to be who's the bigger threat atm.

[lord_khaine]

Thats really hard to tell. Levin has all the subtlety of a kick in the balls. But he is also annoyingly competent.
As recently demonstrated.

Glasses lady meanwhile might be subtle (likely also a coward).
But has not displayed any special degree of skill.

New comic

Infinite is great. I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw a elephant, but he has style.

Also, Bindy's reaction to her boss' antics.
Just "There we go again.".
I think this is the first time she doesn't look half a step past panic.

I'm actually surprised she didn't ask her boss for permission to roll her eyes.

[Kantaki]

I'm actually surprised she didn't ask her boss for permission to roll her eyes.

To be perfectly honest?
This is making me incredibly suspicious about her.

Before she was odd, but believable. Enough that I didn't question Infinite dragging her along.
Maybe it amused him, maybe he knows she won't act against him, maybe he just likes that she isn't like the other underlings.

Now I wonder. Is she really that harmless? Did Infinite take her along because she's actually dangerous?
How much of her scaridy-cat behaviour is a act?
And for/against whom?

In retrospect I should've started thinking about this when she first showed up in the game.

[Kornaki]

I think I mostly trust him here. He can only use this to kill the people so powerless that they need his help getting across. I don't see why he would start a fight with the paladin and burn any chance at getting closer to Tobi just to kill someone he could kill at any later opportunity.

I would be pretty surprised if he dropped anyone to die (or into the rainbow for someone else to kill). That said, he might not fight that hard to save someone if they're attacked or hindered by another player.

[Forum Explorer]

I'm pretty curious to see who will actually take Infinite up on his deal. I expect the Paladin to not bother, but Tobi is pretty up in the air in that regard.

Anyone want to take any bets on who can disregard the rule against killing? My money is on the shy guy, or the cop. Basically seeing how much it would take to drive either of them to kill someone.

[TeChameleon]

I'm honestly stuck on how exactly the Infinite clones are sticking together, especially when they don't have external support.

For the 'allowed to kill'? Kinda leaning towards Bindy, if the Smiles are as sadistic as they generally seem. Somebody that apparently subservient? Actually, come to think of it, probably the same logic that you were going with, Forum Explorer.

... back when the trading game was still happening, I actually half-wondered if it had somehow been Bindy who had injured Three, since we have no idea what her capabilities are, but Infinite brought her for a reason (albeit the reason could just be 'it was funny at the time').

[Kornaki]

It be magic alright.

[Kantaki]

Bindy just looks so done with all of this.
Should something unfortunate happen to Infinite she's the prime suspect.

I'm honestly stuck on how exactly the Infinite clones are sticking together, especially when they don't have external support.

It's quite simple, really.
He is Infinite, they're Infinite.
One and the same, like arms and legs and stuff are part of the same body.
So as long as all Infinites stick together the Infinites stick to each other.

[Forum Explorer]

Can I have an oh snap? I was not expecting today's comic at all.

And it looks like Tobi is a lot more important than we thought. And the ghouls weren't referring to her last name when they talked to her.

[TeChameleon]

Uh...

Huh. Magic, as always, turns out to be weird and kind of icky.

More like they are stuck to the eldritch abomination attached to Infinite.
