You'd really think a divine test of self would have thought of "magic item that lets you go up."

To be fair, the test kind of cheated too. So it's only reasonable that he cheat back.

You know, this scene would have been actually fun to read if there hadn't been a month between updates.

[up][up][up] The test didn't really care. Like, at all care about the partaker. It is setup in simple by the letter check. Even the executioner called to do it only cares a little bit about the goblins, but is very clearly here just to give a perfunctory performance.

[up][up]It's funny I really feel like she's been quicker over the last couple of months. Not "quick", just quicker than she has been.

If we can believe the URL, this one is the 10th this year, which is not much more than one per month in average. Even if it has sped up lately, not by much. But the point is that by the time we got to the punchline, I forgot the setup. A joke is much less funner that way.

I'm just reading this by rote now. I figure I can go back and re-binge it later and get the proper effect.

[up]Whoops! I clicked on the wrong link. Still, the setup was 6 pages ago and far enough in time that I didn't remember what was being said by the time this new one came out.

Did Ellipsis say anywhere that she was moving to a bi-weekly update schedule? It sure seems like that's what happened.

I don't think so. Over the last of couple of years, ellipsis has a tendency to be very slow at the beginning of the year, and then speed up towards the end of the year.

So, hear me out. Duv’s whole thing was that she had wings, and there was a prophecy that a winged goblin would rise to be leader of all goblins, or something like that. But now she’s out of wings. On the other hand, Complains is slowly turning into a demon, and his IME even has wings now. Could the story be moving towards Complains being the goblin from the prophecy, rather than Duv?

She needs money for some transition-related surgeries, and so is making comics as quickly as she can.

I'd argue that she cheated here, too, in a way she didn't really do with Kickasso. She asked him "could you have been a beneficial chief?", but expected him to answer "are you eligible to be chief?" (which he legit didn't know, but it's also not what she asked him).

Complains is right that the question as asked probably wouldn't be on a character sheet (while the latter would), as she's basically quizzing him on future knowledge. Even the syntax of the question is weird.

Okay, so I went back a bit and read that the angel asked "could you be a beneficial chief?". Complains answered "No, because I can't be a chief at all". Which was indeed the wrong answer.

That makes me slightly less annoyed at this rather weird development, so okay.

The questions are still kind of unfair if they rely on information that the character couldn't possibly know, like the ceremony.
