Next-strip predictions

[Riftwolf]

Strip no. 1234:
Xykon, Redcloak and Oona: [Emerge from the tunnel.]
Haley: [Disarms trap.]
Roy: [Polite & pleasant.] Would you, gentlemen, excuse us for a second? We would love to have a brief discussion with Ms. Oona here, mainly about the possibility of her usurping [gestures towards Redcloak] your position, Sir.

More like, if they want to find out what all goblins want, its probably a good idea to ask more than one goblin.
(Also I didn't say 'next page', Roy won't get his confrontation with Xykon right now; the party's gonna get hit by Serini before that happens.)

[WanderingMist]

1234: Blackwing goes turncoat and assassinates the Order.

1. You quite literally said that you are „not sure if it'll be next page” which implied that you are not sure it won't be.
2. BUt that's not really important because mainly I just tried to be funny (with little success, apparently) and I mean no harm.

1234: Blackwing goes turncoat and assassinates the Order.

No, not yet! He'll ominously pierce the skin of a potato first so that we know he's been deceiving V for a long time, making them believe he's harmless!

I think the "next page" there was referring to the fact that his post ended up on the next page of this thread from yours that he quoted, but I am not certain of that.

[Buckethead]

1233:
Roy:"Well, if Redcloak is right about Goblins being treated poorly by us we really need to make things right."
Durkon:"Lad, thar's no easy way to say this'n but Redcloak DID try to implosion me."
Roy:"And you resisted it? Did you consider how resisting his magic would make him feel? He got that magic from his god..."
Durkon:"I'm na' like i'm saying I wanted to have mah head caved in, but I can see why he's nae happy about me head going on uncaved!"
Vaarsuvius:"While channeling fiendish energy I murdered 1/4th of all Black Dragons and 1/5th of all gate defenders. Some people get the short end of the STICK, that's the ORDER of things."
FIN

Not about the strip itself, but I do predict the next discussion thread will be shut down too, for three in a row.

lol.

I might not be willing to bet on that happening, but I certainly wouldn't bet against it at the moment either.

Predicting this feels like making a bet on the result of an election. It's not illegal, but feels wrong...

[ThriKreenLich]

I predict that Roy and Durkon's friendship will become irreparable, possibly due to the events of next strip, but most likely due to the word balloons of next strip.

Can we get a ruling on whether the current one having been locked for a second time already fulfills this prediction?

[Riftwolf]

Unlikely prediction: the strip before the Xykon fight will be called '99 problems' and the strip where Xykon is defeated will be 'But a Lich ain't one'.

This is actually the third time the current thread's been locked. Truemane, Peelee, then truemane a second time.

This is usually referred to as "voting".

Without getting too much into real life situations, betting shops in the UK have run odds for election and referendum results for a while. Its perfectly legal, but seems wrong..

[CountDVB]

For 1234, I suspect a brief debate over on dealing with Redcloak and the plight of the goblins. I also suspect a reference to Roy’s speech to Xykon over why he still fought against him: someone has to be willing to be responsible for what is going on and that having Xykon rule over things is still detrimental to the world’s soul.

Heck, if they tell the others this, Haley may come it as if the world became one giant Greysky City and she has admitted how that living like that screwed her up.

As such, they have to be willing to be responsible for how the mortals have been to the goblins.

Third time's the charm, I guess. Hopefully the next one will be more inclined to the type of serious discussion that's desired.

Didn't expect to have cause to post here again, but you hit my funny bone too hard with this one. (^_~)

[halfeye]

1233 will be another talky/exposition comic.

It's looking as if 1234 will be another exposition comic.

[Squire Doodad]

1234 will contain a sequence of numbers in quick succession!

[Riftwolf]

1234 will contain a sequence of numbers in quick succession!

The comic will be a musical interlude of '5-6-7-8' by Steps.

And we have a winner!

[Mariele]

1233: Blackwing is assassinated.

1233: Roy finally begins to show signs of radiation poisoning.

1234: Blackwing goes turncoat and assassinates the Order.

Strip no. 1234:
Xykon, Redcloak and Oona: [Emerge from the tunnel.]
Haley: [Disarms trap.]
Roy: [Polite & pleasant.] Would you, gentlemen, excuse us for a second? We would love to have a brief discussion with Ms. Oona here, mainly about the possibility of her usurping [gestures towards Redcloak] your position, Sir.

I think it's time for me to go to bed because these caused me to hurt my face from laughing so hard. WanderingMist and Metastachydium are the heroes we need, but not the ones we deserve.

[Ionathus]

1235: The last half of 1234 refocusing on "we'll probably still need to beat up Redcloak and still have to figure out a solution" makes me think the philosophical debate phase is done for now, and the "something physically happens" phase is about to begin. My money's still on Serini.

[pearl jam]

And we have a winner!

Does this make them a two-time winner now? lol

[Dion]

1235: Thog eats ice-cream.

[pearl jam]

1235: Thog eats ice-cream.

That would be a surprising scene change. lol

[Dion]

That would be a surprising scene change. lol

I’m not so sure. I bet Thog eats ice cream whenever he can. In fact, he’s probably eating ice cream during most of the strips.

[pearl jam]

Yes, that's true. I was trying to indicate that by saying "a surprising scene change."

Not that Thog eating ice cream is surprising, but I would be surprised to cut to see that at this moment.

"Tonight, we eat ice cream IN HELL"

[pearl jam]

Presumably very quickly?

[Riftwolf]

Panel Two: Close-up of Tarquin smugly grinning
Panel Three: Tarquin holds up rabbit.
Panel Four: Elan reaction shot
