Pete's referring to the game in its entirety, not the struggle between himself and Spirit Dragon to control the gaming group.Sansash wrote:Question, though: Why did Pete say, "Just so we're clear, if anything is unlawful about this game, there are four more who should be here with me" during the Trial in Heaven?
Allow me to refreshen your memory.CreativePr0cess wrote:Wowowowowowowowow we don't know that yet.
Besides, I always pictured Keene as a... Well... To his own right, GOOD character. Sure he has his downfalls, but he isn't exactly evil. Even in his bio it says he is "one of the few [ferrets] that feels guilty about inheriting all that money and not carrying on his owner’s legacy to any significant degree". If that isn't good, then I don't know what is. I don't believe Keene would do something like this for selfish reasons... UNLESS it's actually to help fulfill his fathers legacy.
Oohohohoohohohohohohohohoho that's juicy.
But in no way do I believe Keene "wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice Sabrina's happiness"... At the very least it would take a lot of thinking from him. And maybe not even then.

I'm sure there is a chance for Pete to choose a different class. No doubt in my mind. The reason I am putting so much faith in Dream Sunderer is because Pete mentioned his best chances against a Soverign Spiritist were to create a Dream Sunderer. I'm taking a chance here that the weaknesses in the game are more like balancing issues, and if that's true, then Pete is going for a Sunderer to stop Tarot's communications with the spirits. It may even flat out stop her from being psychic.Obbl wrote:Why can't she be something other than the 3 classes we know about? It seems kinda silly to have only 3 classes in a Dungeons and Dragons style game. Surely there are others. Plus if she was a Dream Sunderer, she'd be no use to Pete for the same reason Peanut, Grape, and Fido are no use to him. She is clearly in love with King.
Correct, but Pete did mention that he could at one time at the temple bypass the love restriction. Infact, it wouldn't surprise me after this that his next task is to trick or guide Bailey back to the temple so he could remove the restriction. After that, without the restriction, it's just about how good Bailey is at the game than Tarot at this point.Gren wrote:It'll be better to clarify a couple of things:
-The Dark Paladin only have a chance with the age bonus.
-The Dream Sunderers cannot be in love.
-Tarot is a Sovereign Spiritist. Not to mention she has the generational power boost and a ton of experience. She's not someone you can beat by mere brute force. And above all, she deserves to win because she is a better character than Bailey and the corgi runt.
Now that is a theory. =PValerio wrote:BUT there is the chance that while 'She Loves Me' is referred to King with Bailey, then 'She Loves Me Not' could be referred to Pete and Bailey
If that were the case he wouldn't have changed his main strategy which was Grape.

Mightbe because there was a requirement for Grape, who was a cat, that was broken thanks to Zach. Bailey might have different restrictions either because she's a new character or a dog.Gren wrote:If that were the case he wouldn't have changed his main strategy which was Grape.

There's also the possibility that Bailey might have something that Grape doesn't that makes her a lot stronger than Grape. Sure, Grape is rough and tough, but Bailey is a dog, a huskey as well, and is devoted to King. While we could say the same things about Peanut, Grape and King ~ Bailey's devotion has already been shown likely to be the strongest of any pets so far, and Pete ~ in a dark tone ~ seems to be driving the point home that this is likely the reason he wants Bailey, so it's very likely she will have a lot of strong qualifications Pete wants.
My reading of this seems to indicate he had one shot to get his Dream Sunderer regardless of being in love, which Zach accidentally messed up. So, I also think it unlikely that Bailey (being very much in love with King) is useful to Pete if she is a Dream Sunderer. Now she might be something else where strong love and devotion is a bonus to the class. That would fit well.Pete wrote:I could have ignored the "loveless" requirement had they received the energy directly from my mana pool (which is why I waited), but a mortal ineligible due to his species ended up activating it, so the point was moot
Now that I think about it, the issues between Dragon and Tarot might actually tip the balance in Petes favor even more then it is already. If Pete sticks with his Dark Paladin plan, he stated that that class is also powered by discontent. He doesn't specifically say it had to be the Paladins discontent, much like how Spawn takes in the sins of others to fuel his powers.Argent wrote:Dragon seems to be doing a good job of that already.Saturn381 wrote:Does anyone else feel that Pete is going to sabotage Tarot's life before the battle starts so he can get an easy victory?

Agreed, Pete isn't bad nor evil, he is just the other side of the duel, and maybe the antagonist but that doesn't makes him evildiss wrote:Pete isn't evil.

At least she should try to barter like when Hercules got Hades to promise he wouldn't hurt Megara! I can only see a few possible reasons for this impulsiveness:
1. She isn't thinking straight - it's the middle of the night and a giant griffin shows up: weirdness overload!
2. She's acting fast so King doesn't have a chance to stop her, throwing caution to the wind because her love for him is the wild kind.
3. She's shocked by the revelation the her husband's a man and she wants to reconcile this by becoming an instant part of whatever craziness he's dealing with.
4. She's a dog - she does what she likes, and what do contracts have to do with anything important, anyway?
5. Rick simply wanted to skip past the talk to the dramatic reveal. (A matter of taste whether you like this - I think it could have used more buildup.)
Well, I'm just hoping we get a little more explanation here, to narrow down the possible interpretations.
Yeah! Not only that, but they nerfed the Dream Sunderer and Necro Prophet classes by FORBIDDING them from using the d1000000!

Kinda doubt he'll go back to PETA, that bridge has been pretty thoroughly burned and I think King has seen the error of his way regarding how he used to view animals. As for how Fox would handle it, he never knew King was Joel so the moment Fox saw Joel again I think he would try to have him arrested immediately. I think this is something that would hold true no matter how much fast talking Joel engaged in or how much knowledge he revealed that would point to him being King. Fox wouldn't believe the magic stuff without some kind of intervention from Pete, Dragon, Tarot, Sabrina, or now Bailey. Fox would more likely believe either Joel tortured the info out of King (especially if King has "gone missing" for a while before Joel runs into Fox) or that Joel and King were working together somehow all this time.CR4CK3RW0LF wrote:(blows dust off of login button)
*cue Pete's musical number for "Poor Unfortunate Souls"*
so if he does end up human, would he adopt/steal her from her current owner!?!?!
will he go back to peta!?!? how will fox hand him being human!?!? will king even tell fox at all!?!?
oh the ever infinite web of possibilities!!
allow me a hint: NOTHING goodCrux wrote:Oh dogs... Now i wonder what Pete has for her...
I don't think he'll escape but rather give himself up to the police as a proof that he is not the same person he used to be, but specially to prove Fox and Bailey that he is a good person now (since they were a positive influence on him) and will try to rebuild his life from scratch.Jamonius wrote:As for Joel adopting/stealing Bailey I consider that unlikely as well. Gotta remember that as a human Joel is essentially an escaped convict. Were King to be turned back into a human he would almost certainly want to go into hiding right away if he wants to remain free and I'm pretty certain he wouldn't want to subject Bailey to that kind of life. He would be far more likely to turn himself in rather than put her through all that.
