    Yay, and livid is more the appropriate word. I love how the first four panels the Cavalcade are confused about why the Reclaimer won't respond.

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)

      'Livid' and 'furious' work equally well in this case.

    Seething with pure liquid rage is the most appropriate :D
    Clearly the cavalcade aren't as savvy with humans as they think.

    OoooooOooo.. He's pissed. ..i will admit, my first thought that is continence was off somewhere else, but this was much better to see (and less strange).

    oh, and well done with the fire. well placed grenade or flamethrower?

    Oh he's lost it. He's had it up to here with them. And it was a flame grenade, possibly two to get that sort of fire. And you can throw a flame grenade, whereas you have to be close for a flamethrower which makes it hard to take a photo. Oh and there id the characteristic napalm splatter on the ground where it went off. This sounds to me like "Hello? Are you alright? Hellooo?" After you've knocked someone over the head with a baseball bat. But that's just me :P And all those biorhythms are consistent with someone who has just freaked out about nearly being killed :P

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      March 11, 2009 at 1:22 pm | #

      'Freak out' isn't exactly the right turn of phrase here. 'Cold, seething anger' would be much closer to the truth. ;)

        but it is easy to see where the calvacada were confused… to the untrained, the bodily effects of anger and fear are very similar… adrenaline.

        liked this one, and love that fact the reclaimer isn't so much a toy of the Calvacade any more

        • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
          March 11, 2009 at 6:08 pm | #

          Well, so far, the Reclaimer has been little more than a puppet, a tool – wielded first by Ferial and now by Viper. As a trained soldier, he's been conditioned to follow orders, but now he's starting to redefine his image of himself.

            I think that that wasn't a typo, you just want us to think it was a typo.

            Actually, not really, but you had Viper on your brain when you wrote that.

          • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
            March 12, 2009 at 10:35 pm | #

            Actually, more appropriately I was replying to comments while trying to multi-task on things at the office – and it's easiest for my mind to pair up Ferial and Viper, since they're all the bad guys.

      The Reclaimer keeps a tight rein on his emotions, even when he's furious. Imagine him speaking in a low voice, teeth gritted together. His dialogue here is definitely not warm and conversational.

    Curious as the coming "ground rules".

    Well done Jim, "seething anger" well depicted by the position of Reclaimer. The Cavalcade are in for a ride themselves.

      They're definitely about to find their relationship with the Reclaimer changing somewhat.

      March 11, 2009 at 9:12 pm | #

      At first I though he might be going into shock, but by the second panel it was pretty obvious from the fact that the calvalcada could not determine what was going on, that he was just ticked. A lot of people when going past a threshold of anger appear cold an emotionless.

      • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
        March 11, 2009 at 9:39 pm | #

        The Reclaimer isn't one to fly into a blind rage. He will, however, take raw anger and channel it into cold, calculating action.

    Remember the Reclaimer has no easily discernible facial expression, he didn't say anything, and there isn't really a scientific instrument or algorithm to identify rage/anger.
    However, I knew as soon as he wasn't responding that he was pissed (as I sure some if not most of you did as well), so I wouldn't say the Cavalcade aren't human savvy, rather I'd say Humans aren't their forte.

      (in case its hard to tell because it's under a few other posts, this is a reply to Uccxxv.)
      As far as facial expression, his suit POSSIBLY monitors body shape…in case something concerning body shape is affected IE a bone sticking out of the skin, welts forming, ect…sorry for the bad examples, but I just got a new game and I'm so excited I can't think straight.

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      March 15, 2009 at 2:57 am | #

      I'm not sure about geo-glitching, but interlocking involves placing an item, adjusting its spawn time upward, setting it to NOT spawn at the start, then starting a new round and placing a new object so that the two will overlap when first object finally does spawn.
