They'll get theirs. I completely trust in Rick on that. Whatever the eventual conclusion to this, I feel it's going to be 100% satisfying.Xane wrote:Brats. Spoiled whiny brats. Space Whale needs to smack 'em not to punish them for King but just to get them to grow up.
Interesting that while Pete used more trickery and bullying to get his avatar, he doesn't feel the need to try to mind control her while Dragon's far more willing followers gave up their free will even though they shouldn't need to since they're "more experienced."
I thought they were Cosmic Teenagers but they're sounding more and more like Cosmic Terrible Two Year Olds.
I do. It does explain really well...Perpetualflight wrote:Wow, this is making... a LOT of sense. Anybody else feel like this one really explained what's going on, really well?
The more I think about it, Rick, let both these two cosmic kids lose. Both of them spending time in mortal bodies, living lives with more limitations and challenges would teach them responsibility and how to actually be mature.Xane wrote:Brats. Spoiled whiny brats.

That would be just perfect. Those two have been noting but trouble and immature for the past 5 years now. I hope their punishment will come to them soon.Acritic2 wrote:The more I think about it, Rick, let both these two cosmic kids lose.

Sounds a bit like that potential inside ourselves in the sense that we have it. And how some of us don't use it.Bailey wrote: Are you saying we keep the power, but stop using it?
XD I don't think that they'd survive for long without breaking down (and possibly crying), but i'd love to see it too!Acritic2 wrote:The more I think about it, Rick, let both these two cosmic kids lose.

well think about it, the classic thing with whining and bullying is that if you ignore it (usually) the bully will stop... I'd LOVE to see Pete get frustrated with King and Bailey just completely ignoring him XDConvoyWolf wrote:So they can forfiet, but even if they do the Nerds can still nad and badger them and stuff. It seems like a case of danged of you do danged oif you dont. Also honestly i dunno whos worse. Pete with his nudging and teasing or Dragon with her whining.
This would be awesome. This needs to happen! :3RatHead wrote:well think about it, the classic thing with whining and bullying is that if you ignore it (usually) the bully will stop... I'd LOVE to see Pete get frustrated with King and Bailey just completely ignoring him XD

As someone who was bullied as a kid, it never stopped. But id like to see Pete get so frustrated me ragequits. He kinda aint that great at it anyways.RatHead wrote: well think about it, the classic thing with whining and bullying is that if you ignore it (usually) the bully will stop...

All the more reason to. What better way to understand this stuff than a hands-on, Hit-the-ground-running, Face-it-yourself, experience? How bad could it change them?RatHead wrote:XD I don't think that they'd survive for long without breaking down (and possibly crying), but i'd love to see it too!Acritic2 wrote:The more I think about it, Rick, let both these two cosmic kids lose.

In addition, Pete never seemed even remotely discouraged over half a decade when his pestering didn't work on King. I don't think that them being left alone is really on the table, sadly...ConvoyWolf wrote:As someone who was bullied as a kid, it never stopped.

Err... I'm pretty sure a mortal life won't last forever... by definition. ^^;valerio wrote:I say thee NAY!IceKitsune wrote:Well we know that Tarot is wrong, they can force them to do stuff as per Dog Days of Summer.
Pete surely has the power to force King to do things, but he CAN'T. Rules forbid, kitsune told him so much.
And before the cosmic summit, King had ALREADY figured he couldn't be forced to to things, that's why Pete had closed him in a cage, in perfect accordance to human rules of owner/dog.
And since rules didn't mention anything about getting back a former avatar candidate, and Grape STILL has the feather, and Fido, or peanut, are candidate dream sunderers, this is soooo going to be interesting.
I guess it will take some time before we see the cosmic game back in full swing, but at least I learnt my lesson about emotivity here.
Just as long as I can see those two BRATS living a mortal life.
...forever...
They can force them to do things if they believe its "in the mortals best interest". Considering that Pete was able to argue that turning Joel into a dog was in his best interest in Heavens court, I'm sure they could argue that stopping the nerds from having to bug the mortals would be in their best interest if it had gone on long enough.valerio wrote:I say thee NAY!IceKitsune wrote:Well we know that Tarot is wrong, they can force them to do stuff as per Dog Days of Summer.

Wouldn't it be cool if Tarot, Sabrina, Bailey, and King somehow confronted Dragon and Pete? That'd be epic XDD3ath_0ps wrote:That would be just perfect.

It is an interesting point. Though, I think it comes down to trust. Tarot and Sabrina may trust Spirit Dragon more to be mind-controlled because of the fact that they had more free-will in becoming her avatars. Bailey and Pete.... not so much.Xane wrote: Interesting that while Pete used more trickery and bullying to get his avatar, he doesn't feel the need to try to mind control her while Dragon's far more willing followers gave up their free will even though they shouldn't need to since they're "more experienced."
The reason Pete couldn't get Grape to become Pete's avatar (according to the Trial in Heaven arc) was because of a rule that the proposed avatar couldn't be in love (although considering that he got Bailey and still wanted King to be a full avatar despite their marriage, that rule still confuses me).SeanWolf wrote:So they can forfeit which in terms gives someone else their powers...could this mean the Grape could become Pete's avatar? Also I'm now curious as to what Kari is texting.
In my experience, that doesn't work. I was bullied for years and if I just ignored their whining and insults they would just change to throwing things and hitting me.RatHead wrote:well think about it, the classic thing with whining and bullying is that if you ignore it (usually) the bully will stop...

Bailey's probably more effective that way, she's playing a Tank and she's already more than a bit of a Tank in RL.Xane wrote:Interesting that while Pete used more trickery and bullying to get his avatar, he doesn't feel the need to try to mind control her while Dragon's far more willing followers gave up their free will even though they shouldn't need to since they're "more experienced."
Yeh, this... also, they start doing things like stealing your work to get you in trouble.RatHead wrote: well think about it, the classic thing with whining and bullying is that if you ignore it (usually) the bully will stop...ConvoyWolf wrote:As someone who was bullied as a kid, it never stopped.gamepopper wrote:In my experience, that doesn't work.

That would still count against them in the game. Kitsune would call them on it even if Bahamut didn't.IceKitsune wrote:They can force them to do things if they believe its "in the mortals best interest".

Dragon or Tarot? I think Kari's just involved in whatever looks to provide the most hijinks.Gamewolf67 wrote:So is Kari Dragon's new boyfriend now?

Well yeah, but think about it, King didn't COMPLETELY ignore Pete, i mean like pretend he doesn't exist. But think about it, if King, Bailey, Tarot, and Sab ALL ignored their respective players completely, starting at the same time, think of what it could do to the Cosmic Nerds!Ryusuta wrote:In addition, Pete never seemed even remotely discouraged over half a decade when his pestering didn't work on King.

Granted, maybe all the avatars start working together with each other to go against everything their players try to have them do?ConvoyWolf wrote:Yeah i hate to say this but its gonna take more then a unanimous "I QUIT" to make that plan work.

i think if Kitsune and the COsmic court notice that the cosmic Nerds'avatars are ignoring them, they may make them stop the game, or change rules to be nicer to the avatars, or something, ya never know!Argent wrote:Yeh, this... also, they start doing things like stealing your work to get you in trouble.RatHead wrote: well think about it, the classic thing with whining and bullying is that if you ignore it (usually) the bully will stop...ConvoyWolf wrote:As someone who was bullied as a kid, it never stopped.gamepopper wrote:In my experience, that doesn't work.

Plus, the bullies have subjective time on their side so they won't get bored.

Sorry Supes but, as with any long-going series, plots develop and go their own way. I'd imagine Rick has plans for Peanut/Grape centric arcs though.SuperStar wrote:I want those days back... :CQ & A wrote:Q:Hey A.
