Hurfworld? No - Erfworld!

It's possibly because Wanda's resurrection brainwashing made him think that Arkentool ordained people are above nobles didn't make him a meritocrat. Thus while he's fine with Stanley and Wanda bossing him around, Parson with no nobility and no Arkentool is as far as Ansom is concerned a complete nobody.

If I was a betting man, I'd wager that either Ossomer or Tramennis is immune to the flash mob and notices what Ansom, Wanda and Jack are up to. While Tramennis is the obvious one, I would not be surprised if it's Ossomer instead.

I think not necessarily. Decrypted are as close to alive as you can get without actually being it. I wouldn't be surprised if Ansom can twist the enchantment of the Arkenpliers. I'm not saying he'd break it, but twist it so that in his mind he could kill Parson and remain Loyal to Wanda.

It would certainly keep the Pliers from being the most powerful Tool in the game.

Depending on exactly how powerful the other two are. We don't know for sure.

I tend to think the Hammer is the most powerful. Like, the Titans handicapped it by attuning it to a complete idiot.

The hammer certainly does seem to have its uses.

And the early scene with him cracking walnuts open to make pigeons always seemed to imply that he could actually make Dragons if he smacked something big enough with it.

I don't think Stanley is an idiot, but merely insecure and that is his biggest handicap. He wants to be the biggest, and is overly concerned with the cosmetic.

Also, he (and by extension everyone but Wanda, Sizemore, and Maggie) doesn't know how to deal with Parson's lateral thinking since no one in Erfworld seems to be capable of it and I think that is the biggest obstacle to them coming to at least respect each other. There seems to be some glimmers of Stanley at least starting to respect Parson though.

Also, I would love a complete list of the Erfworld rules (It strikes me as an awesome game.) but that's not likely to happen until the comic is done, if it ever happens.

Do any of you know the Heroes of Might and Magic series? Turn-based strategy with RPG elements?

That, with Erfworld. And a good level editor.

Best game ever.

But anyway, Charlie seems to have been interested in getting Ansom on his side... Wouldn't it be conceivable that so is Wanda? What's more, if she killed and decrypted Parson, she'd have the best of both worlds, wouldn't she?

[Loyal]

I imagine Wanda attacking Parson would cause Stanley to instantly either disband her or try to kill her. Regardless of her ultimate goal as far as Stanley is concerned, Wanda wants him content with her for the moment so that he doesn't do anything rash. Or moreso than usual anyway.

[Jagos]

He's already afraid of her... Afraid and jealous. That's kept him at bay from beating on her since the first turn after Gobwin Knob was destroyed.
