Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
Yeap.
The comic was late.
Once.
Because the server caught on fire, and burned a hole in the side of the building.
He had backup hosting up and running, and the update posted, that same day.

The unwavering dedication to updates is one of the reasons I still read Schlock Mercenary.

Them being usually super short helps as well it just takes so little of my time that it would have to annoy me instead of just losing its interesting parts for me to remove it from my feed.

Honestly, Gugro, for being new at this you're doing okay. You could give Tagon some pointers.

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
Before I was thinking that Gugro would prove herself and latter get promoted to an officer. Especially given the way earlier remark about how Ebby is currently the only non-human in the company equal or above the rank of lieutenant.
I am now thinking she will become a Marshall for real.

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
... comics like today's make me really sad that The Mandate turned into vaporware. I really wanted to slowly fill out my table of organization with the best bits I take from my enemies.

At first glance I thought this was another Long Gun attack.

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
Wow, right. Well, we know it wasn't - but will all observers know?
I imagine the UPA command in total confusion right now: An attack by Tagon, an attack by the mysterious longgunner, or just the malfunctioned warheads that blew up? I doubt that they already understand that they were suborned, unless Elf included a real message somewhere instead of just a message.participate in fan translations of OotS to your native language:

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
I think the way it was set up that they would believe it to be malfunctioning warheads, since the Graveplough is the only ship to have reported malfunctioning warheads. If Claw Six or Fangstorm exploded they would realize it was an attack. I don't think the mysterious longgunner is something that is on the UPA's mind even if they did stop to ask who really destroyed the Maxim 39.

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
It was more of an observation that confused myself.
The kitties probably don't even know long guns exist, just that something blew up some ships somehow. This particular ships was blown up by malfunctioning warheads. I assume that Tagon/Elf will leverage this next strip, maybe including Tagon's full title "Killer of Battleplates".

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
Does anyone have a link to a chart detailing what the numbers and letters mean? Considering how much he seems to like using it, I should probably add it to the first post.

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
... Okay, so my search fu leveled up and I found your previous post where you shared it:
So the fleet from Sunday's strip has one 300 - 500 meter ship, two 500 - 1000 meter ships, 4 100 - 300 meter ships, and twelve 10 - 40 meter ships. That is mostly what I wanted to figure out. The 0 - 9 for firepower makes sense. The descending letters for larger ships also makes sense. I was just trying to remember where the various breaks were.

Guess I did post it before. Man time flies.

Why is the classification system missing R, U and W? Is that explained anywhere?

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
I guess we're going to find out if the real local fleet is as sad as the pathetic pirate/militia fleet.

And the last few days has really just been the set up for the popping of a balloon.
This page also reinforces that the main kitty govt is NOT at all on board for what the UPA has been doing.Member of the Giants in the Playground Forum Chapter for the Movement to Reunite Gondwana!

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
Now today's is what I call filler.
The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Re: Schlock Mercenary VIII: insAIne in the mAInfrAIme
Personal pet pieve: People proclaiming "Filler".
I'd only cry filler if a comic is on something that isn't related to the story. Today's strip was picturing Tagon pensive, pondering about his past. Poor punchline, but you can't pssibly put platin in every strip.
