2119333683[]

Geisterdamen architecture is apparently weird. Who would have guessed, what with them being albino, spider riding, warrior women from another dimension. Still, the question remains... how badly does a war have to go for no one to win and no one to apparently survive? The Gentleman Adventurer has yet to find any survivors or even signs of survivors. But something might turn up in the ruins, assuming he isn't irradiating himself to death. -Grumpy Celt66.82.162.20 04:56, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

It's looking like Phil is getting tired of Twitter, and is about to write off Alternate Timeline Othar with terminal radiation poisoning. Not much else you can do when you've written yourself into that kind of corner. --Tatter D 15:52, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
That's pretty assumptive there. Have you ever seen him be a sloppy/lazy storyteller before? Othar's at least 70 in this story, if not older. I think he has a right to be tired. Also, what corner? I'm starting to get some Babylon 5 flashbacks myself. -- Corgi 08:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
If Phil had wanted to stop Twittering, he could have ended at the point when Othar decided to go for a happily ever after with Oslaka. (In fact, for few days, I wondered if that had been a sign-off tweet.) I don't quite see the point of bringing Othar back (so to speak) just so Phil can kill him off in a slightly different way so soon afterwards. -- Brassica 11:47, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Unless he wanted to show us first-hand what would be the result of an Other victory, without actually doing it in the main GG comic. --Tatter D 20:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh! Someone stopped the Other with a nuke! Or maybe the GG equivalent. That explains why even the Other isn't around. I got that the "funny suit" was for the radiation, but wasn't putting two-and-two together. Phil may be ending the twitter story, but he's definitely got something planned here. It's such a great narrative device for conveying information we would never get within the comic. I hope he doesn't plan to end it anytime soon.

Any guesses as to who's in the suit? m (talk) 21:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe that barmaid with the pretty eyes from the first twitter adventure. I don't think it will be Agatha. But I would be very surprised if Othar just died of radiation poisoning. There is probably a cure for that any way in this world. Just take a pill, get a good nights sleep and be cured of that 4K rad problem by morning. -Grumpy Celt69.19.14.44 04:07, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
I think it's Othar. -- Corgi 05:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Oh, phoo. -- Corgi 23:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
