I want to get rid of this entry under "Moral Event Horizon:

He did so because he does not like Reynardine. And as he quite rightly points out, Reynardine tried to KILL Annie when they first met. People are surprisingly quick to ignore this fact.

On the basis that 1: Trying to do something does not necessarily put one over the Horizon; 2: Rey wasn't technically trying to kill her. He was trying to escape, and (According to Word of Tom) get Eglamore/ the court Magicians/whoever to find a way to stop people from dying when he leaves their bodies, and 3: Annie has basically forgiven him for trying to kill her anyway. To wit: "I don't care! He's my friend!"

Do we have a trope for... um, let's see how to describe this.

A character (Bob) Kicks The Dog by treating a (minor) character in a callous manner. Normally we'd be just like "yeah he's just a bad person." However, for those paying attention, this action - despite in general not jumping out as un-Bob-like - directly contradicts the way the character acted toward a similar (or same) character previously. Which gives clues to the possibility of a Something He Would Never Do, meaning he's possessed or controlled or insane or something.

The specific example I'm thinking of here is Jack killing that robot. I didn't think much of that act except as establishing him as (minorly) villainous, as it's out-of-keeping with Annie's compassion toward artifical intelligences. However, I just recalled that this is the same lad who went and fixed up a robot cow who was having trouble.

It's possible that the detail of the cow was something else (e.g., research into manipulating electronics or robots). But if indeed it was a compassionate act toward a robot, then the current lack of compassion toward a robot is a clue to a personality change. And I'd like to know if we have a trope that covers this, because it would be nice to state this with greater concision.

Can anyone explain to me how Magic Powered Pseudoscience applies to this comic? Because MPS is about a magical device that the creator tries to pass off as scientific, or which they themselves believe to be scientific. Whereas all the magitek in GC is acknowledged as such by its creator (like the Donlan's magic computer) or was created by someone long-dead so we have no way of knowing whether or not he tried to pass it off as science (viz. Diego's robots).

Chapter 31

Wham Episode?

I added some Out Of Character Moment entry which I wanted to edit due to development, but it was removed. I do not know what it said anymore and it's not in the history. Can I know why it was deleted? You see, Annie is currently really acting like someone who's trying to 'Mindrape' Reynard. Evil smile and all. She never have been acting so weird, she usually is calm and logical. That's why I added it. So please someone explain why it was deleted.

Should Tom's tendency to repeatedly explain who Eglamore is whenever he appears in the comic be a Running Gag? He's done it quite a few times, at least once an arc (provided, of course, that Eggers is in the arc).

It's probably too soon to tell, but it seems like Coyote's last line is an example of Childfree Is Not Allowed.

Whats with the superspoilers at the wham episode entry? Any reason normal spoiler isn't enough?

Um, after the comic about robots and being shut off being like death, can we add an Accidental Nightmare Fuel entry?
