It would certainly explain why so many of his creations tended towards the explosive side of things.

And why certain people tended to fire crossbows at him whenever he came within sight.

Bloody Stupid Johnson is a character from the Discworld novels, it seems.

Which to me is the definitive evidence that he was a Spark.

[up]Nah, the definitive sign of Spark is either his housing project of creepy or all his rather interesting pipe organs with interesting settings and attachments. evil grin

Johnson had a very clever and inventive mind and a very definite view of how the world should work. Problem was, that view was: 1) inconsistent between projects; 2) unstable even in Discworld's highly magical field. His sanity was also questionable. At best.

Add all that to what's either a refusal or inability to understand or use measuring units of any type, and, well...

Folks, just a friendly reminder that we've been cracking down a bit on keeping these threads more on topic, so, GG, please, rather than Discworld? I know there won't be another new page til Monday, but still...

So the little castle clank is now in control of the big baby catching clank? Sweet! Der Master HAS to be aware of some major hacking of his city systems! If he's this clueless, then he doesn't deserve his reputation at all.

[up] Dunno with all the plots running around some have to slip from under his sight. There is a limit onto how much crackpot he can deal with all the sparks which require more attention than non sparks in the plotting.

The Master's got something going on in the background, or someone's subverting his orders, as the city troops have been ordered to not try and stop the street-riots...

When DK tapped into the city systems, he hinted that the reason the Geisters hadn't been spotted was connected to whatshisnames attempt to take over Paris, specifically the 'subverting the city's control systems' part. A tiny part , useful to the Geisters, got missed because of a larger, unrelated plan.

Maybe this is another thing of 'BIG NEON SIGN over there' both distracting and cloaking what's going on over here.

I like the yellow, but I'm not sure how it'll go with Agatha's colouring. But I suspect the blue is up front for a reason.

But Ferretina and the fashion-clank went off to open that shop in a sort of non-canon side-story! This is unacceptable! smile

[down] Presumably they are revenants.

[up][up] First, it makes things more interesting to have a challenge. Second, it's another reason to fight if one of them breaks the rules. Third, the rule is "go fight some more", what Jaeger would argue against that?

Well, they have to win new hats in battle. I'm presuming that thought process applies to acquisition of other objects?
