[up][up] Well Konrad will make sure they all Die and Stay Dead. And by some miracle one or two escape with all their limbs still attached, they'd be too traumatized to ever pose a threat to anyone ever again, and spend the rest of their days looking over their shoulder, wondering if this is when the Night Haunter comes to finish the job......

Okay, normally I leave this sort of thing to Marq, but dude, you're kind of becoming an anti sisterhood version of Violet. Might wanna tune it down a tad, cause it's starting to give some bad vibes.

I visit 8Chan, why am I the one tone policing!?

[up] Fine, I get the point. I am letting Tats and his creations get to me. I'll calm down.

[up]Yeah, let's not go with the guy that would skin the pimp for objectifying the woman, the woman for taking the job in the first place, and the sisterhood for trying to break the girl out, since all of that is against his "morality".

[up][up] Thank you Yami. Sorry to do that, but the Abyss was starting to start staring back, know what I mean?

Little Terrorist is running true to form.

I can't believe that Tats intends her to be a Good Example to us all — she's a violent, self-congratulating, extremist fanatic. But then , I've met Social Justice Warriors who were smug extremist fanatics, and who were utterly convinced that they were our moral superiors, too.

If I were writing this arc, I'd have Little Terrorist do something violent and stupid and ultimately futile ... such as unilaterally deciding to charge outside and smite the wicked drones. This would draw attention to Tess' Garage as a Sisterhood hideout, and would result in the arrest of Tess and/or Miko. Then someone would have to rescue them. The rescuer could be almost anyone, depending on whether the goal of the arc is to show character development (Squig, Slick, Crim, even Vainglorious) or to demonstrate the invincible wonderfulness of the Sisterhood.

But I'm not the one who's writing this arc. Tats probably will give us something profoundly unsatisfying ... und shtoopid.

[up] I've seen Dn D groups that are less Murderhobos than her.

[up][up][up] And thanks. I just gotta remember to not stoop to tat's level.

[up]I agree about the murderhobo comment - and I've seen a player want his character to attack and destroy a PEACEFUL alien entity for, you know, being an alien entity... despite him being a normal human with a sword and the entity being a mechanical hive mind the size of Los Angeles.

What is Garage Xanthe so worried about? Just get on your knees and wish for them to explode. We've seen Seymour being able to stun the drones by prayer, so the sky is the limit!

Those eyebots need to take a level in badass in order to fry those little twerps.

[up]At this point a level in badass would put them at the level of Team Rocket.

Currently, they are Team Skull level then.

...as if they needed anything to make them even more powerful... Seriously, why haven't they won already? They have technomantic robots hacking reality, sorceresses that can lay the smackdown on God, enough technology that Tony Stark would call them to ask for tips, the support of abstract entities like Liberty and Time... on all accounts, they should be able to beat up Galactus for lunch money, let alone take out the Patriarchy!

[up] My theory is if they win, with in a year people will realize they traded in one dictator for another. And then They'd be the ones getting overthrown. No, better to play at being the resistance than risk seeing themselves become the villian.

Hm. Random observations:

  • Tess has pink hair. That figures ...

  • Shogun to the rescue! Of course! So simple and logical ...

  • Don't any of the neighbors notice that Tess is what looks like a machine pistol? Where are the cops? And is Tess a child or not? Either way, what's she doing with a machine pistol?!

  • After this, Tats has better not do an arc about how guns are tools of Teh Patriarchy's oppression.

  • Why doesn't Tess' Garage have a garage door?

  • The eyeball drones are even worse shots than Imperial Storm Troopers.

  • Great ... charge out there and "wreck 'em." So now Satan knows that Tess' Garage is a Sisterhood hideout.

  • The eyeball drones have software (!!!) that enables them to duplicate material objects, including body parts. So if I were Satan (And I might be! Who knows?) I'd try a benign variation of the old Mafia trick: Kidnap Tess and Little Terrorist, duplicate their heads, and send the heads to Nana and Xanthe with a note that says "Quit annoying us or you'll all end up like this." (Less benign: Skip the duplication step.)

Between the overpowering stench of Mary Sue of the Sisterhood let's ask an obvious question that isn't answered in the least: why did the drones decide to attack?

They fired a couple of shots in the sign of the garage, which can only mean the Patriarchy knows what's going on there. So let's count the amount of stupidity, because either:

- The Patriarchy knows where its mortal enemy lives and decides to send an entire THREE DRONES to attack the place.

- The Patriarchy only just found the "secret" Sisterhood location and decided to ruin any amount of tactical advantage it has by sending the couple of drones that found it straight in for an attack.

- The Patriarchy has some sort of unknown feud against garage signs that use a possessive 's where a simple ' would have been fine.

Tats is an idiot of a writer and isn't able to build tension to save his life.

[up] I think it's more likely that the Sisterhood girls shot first. One particular Sisterhood girl, in fact.
