Re: My Turn 2012-10-15
It's been a while and the chronology is all starting to get a little fuzzy, so maybe someone else can remind me -- was that thing with Monica not-quite-dodging bullets before or after Shelly shivved her in the head?

Monica: Whut? Who? How?
Shelly: Are you ready to give up with the denial BS and listen to us now or do We have to rip your head off and shove it up your butt to get your attention?

I usually do that - as you'll notice in my comment.shadowinthelight wrote:I think I added a link on the very first thread I started since that is how other forums I visit where the author/moderator starts the official daily thread usually handle things. No one else seemed to do so so I didn't keep it up. It actually surprised me when I first saw a forum where the whole comic was hotlinked. Of course it is Paul's decision but IMO providing a link to the current page would make a good addition to the official rules.

Re: My Turn 2012-10-15
It occurs to me that it's rather easy for Bud to say "My turn to trust you" to Shelly... She won't have to live with the consequences if Shelly was wrong... At most, she'd have to live with the guilt. On the other hand, if Shelly was wrong, Monica's the one who'd have to live with the fact that she was dead...

I am just trying to figure out where all the blood and viscera from Bud's hand went to.

I sure hope noone ever gets a blood transplant from her shortly before she kicks the bucket AGAIN, or they could be in for a serious case of anemia when that happens...

If nothing else, I'm sure accidental killings are nothing new to Bud, even after her chimera days. Shelly, all her murders have been intentional.
I guess if Monica didn't "respawn", Bud would just be under Tepoz's charge again. Instant happy hour.

A golem attacking its commander and primary object of protection is a pretty serious issue. Can Bud (and by logical extension and psychic link Brandi and Jin) maintain the exclusivity of that uniquely deadly parameter?
Or is she already more than just a "fancy machine"?

Re: My Turn 2012-10-15
When Monica "released" the girls to have normal lives, that removed the safeties on the safeties, if you get my meaning.
Monica could use Acacia, Brandilyn and Ms. Aedobie to destroy the world, but all three would be trying to talk her down from doing so.

Re: My Turn 2012-10-15
I don't think they would have that opportunity. When Monica directly ordered Bud to tell her about the girls deaths, Bud did so in a robotic manner. She instantly went from very emotional to compliance. Any freedom they have depends entirely on Monica not giving a direct order, but instead trying to persuade them to do what she thinks they should. Apparently they have some leeway when it comes to protecting her, however. It seems to be a judgement call on their part when to do so.jwhouk wrote:When Monica "released" the girls to have normal lives, that removed the safeties on the safeties, if you get my meaning.

Re: My Turn 2012-10-15
I think it's more a matter of their higher mental functions being trusted to decide whether she really is in danger -- if they genuinely believe she is safe their automatic functions are not triggered. Pretending to believe would be unlikely to work.Bathorys Daughter wrote:<snip/>Apparently they have some leeway when it comes to protecting her, however.
