Makes you wonder if he's going to stay in the current time, or if they're going to send him back. And-wait...I so do not have a crush on a gilded statue.

It was only a matter of time before he'd bring up Cerb again...
I gotta feeling the answer to their problems lies in that Cursed Temple of Pete's, or, perhaps a certain sneaky Ferret might know just what to do.

Well, if Kitsune won't get involved, I think we can assume that things will turn out well for Satau - otherwise Kitsune would help (he's not that heartless).
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Can you just send him back in time? It would be just be like sending him through the portal backwards.

Re: 2015/08/07 - Rules And Statutes
Kitsune left them free to deal with the consequences of following dragon's ill advice. Given that supernatural is present and alive in the HP universe, it is but a matter of time before he gets back to his own era, but yes, I truly feel for him, he's been basically lured into this problem through deceit...But again, Dragon IS Pete's sister, so it should be expected...SuperStar wrote:Kitsune's such a jerk, not helping them out.

Please note, however, he left them a hint. If she noticed it.SuperStar wrote:Kitsune's such a jerk, not helping them out.
They hoped for a ruling of charity
but didn't even get one of clarity
from the gold, lamé, Kitsune.
Satau puts on his best, hopeful, face,
as he hopes for help from golden grace;
but there's none of that today.
Tarot puts up her best angry argument
in the high hope that he might just relent;
but the idol's not going to play.
He gives them hope they're not alone;
“Or are you” is a question plainly shown;
but he wants you to go away.
So run, little Pom, and play his game;
through all his tricks he's just the same -
don't let his way win the day.
Re: 2015/08/07 - Rules And Statutes
Dragon warned him, and Kitsune states right here that she was still within the rules, unlike Pete who deliberately broke the rules. Just because people are siblings doesn't mean they're the same.

Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Exactly, it's not cheating, it's the clever ways of going about things. Pete did cheat, by doing deliberately what was not allowed.Obbl wrote:"Pushing the bounds"

Re: 2015/08/07 - Rules And Statutes
Kitsune said she was trying to push the limits of the rules. and when you try to push the rules, it's only a matter of time before they break, and there isn't a clear indication that that hasn't happened in this instance.SuperStar wrote:Exactly, it's not cheating, it's the clever ways of going about things.

and even if not technically cheating, it is against the spirit of the rule. like using a curse word that doesn't happen to have been put in the forum's filter.
you're right, she did warn him so she at least isn't as uncaring about her avatars as Pete, so he is the bigger jerk. she's only a jerk to Pete.

Re: 2015/08/07 - Rules And Statutes
First off, I like how the statue just has little nubs for hands
And secondly, in regards to the last panel of the strip from two days ago, where did she get those pictures of Satau?

Am I the only one who sees the Willy Wonka meme in that last panel?
No weird time junk isn't very specific but it does still seem like breaking the rules because he was transported into the future.

you really have to appreciate the amount of work rick puts into these comics, just think if these comics were still being made in black and white.
We would never know the gilded glory of this statue.
so i say nice job rick, keep it up

Re: 2015/08/07 - Rules And Statutes
You know, Satau is probably better off in Babylon Acres in the present than in proto-egypt 7000 years ago.
I know that if I was yanked 7000 years in the future into a society as advanced (both technically and socially) compared to ours as ours is compared to his, the last thing I would want is to be sent back. Especially if I have a bunch of billionaire weasels waiting to take care of me.

In addition, everyone he ever knew and loved had been dead and dust for millennia. Sure, he might make new friends in 21st Century Babylon Gardens, but how might such a primitive being attract a significant other amongst these sophisticates?Thomas Hobbes wrote:"In such condition there is... continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

7000 years ago, most of the world's population lived in circumstances that we would consider appalling even by comparison to that.
And Satau isn't likely to suffer from homelessness.

Oh I don't know. A lot of the things we take for granted as having to do every day will have dissappeared in 7000 years. For instance, I like making sandwiches, which gives me the feeling Satau will react to many modern "convenienes" with "I'll make my own crumby sandwich, thankyouverymuch!"Argent wrote:You know, Satau is probably better off in Babylon Acres in the present than in proto-egypt 7000 years ago.

"OR ARE YOU"? So, he will help them somehow? But i think Kitsune wants they do something first.
How else can Satau back in time? Sabby and Tarot are not powerful enough to do it (or they would had already, right?) and I dont think the Miltons had bought a time machine to spare
