You know that Ra dying scene almost made me think him and fanatic were a thing
I was so busy refreshing the Tim Cosing page I forgot to check any other threads! Having said that...
Considering I'm one of the first ones who commented about Tempest, I can't help but feel the gender pronoun comment might have been directed at me. It was by no means my intent to insult the creators of the character with what I condered to be a neutral "in the classic sense" use of the pronoun, "he/him." I'm very much up to speed on Tempest, and - given my strong ties to the LGBT community (of which, as I stated, I also am a part of) - would never intentionally use an improper pronoun to describe someone in any derogatory sense, whether they be a real person or fictional character. If, in my excitement, my intent was not clear or seemed innappropriate, I do sincerely apologize to anyone that might have been offended.
No offense taken, the point of my post is that Tempest isn't a case in which there is a "wrong" pronoun, it's a case in which they're all right.
Since I responded to the pronoun stuff: I'm not offended, I just like singular they. :)
Tempest aside, if we all call people by their preferred pronouns, we're all good.
Tempest may not care, but there's a whole host of issues in defaulting to masculine pronouns, not the least of which is the male-equivalent-of-whitewashing one of the very few nonbinary characters out there, which is why I think some people are quick to "correct" use of "he" even if it wouldn't technically be considered incorrect by the fictional subject in question.
Anyway, what I'm really excited to find out is if actual physical versions of America's Cleverest Legacy are going to be available at some point? My wallet is ready.
So here's a thought.
https://greaterthangames.com/112233445 shows a broken-off piece of the Cosmonautilus. I don't have my Tactics set with me, but... could that be an Oblivion Shard?
I think that is what they are alluding too. When i see this game, I see the troupes of comics and they are eMbreacing it. I got really excited when I saw ¿Quando? ¡Ahora! because of the possiblty it brought.
The after math of this is going to be big. I wonder how much in Universe time passed between Progeny and the Last Cosmic Entity? IT was a few weeks before Chokepoint attacked. But the right away when Ra showed up?
True. I just wrote a paper and did a conference presentation about the singular "they". It has actually been in English for longer than the genric "he". Also, a lot of studies show that pretty much every English speaker used the singular they in speech. It's making a strong comeback, especially in the transgender community, so I don't know why it wouldn't be the best option here.
Wauw. This whole puzzel has been one journey of total epicness. Truly incredible.
I do however can't stop wondering why Parse wasn't here to help the F5 deciphering the codes in
https://greaterthangames.com/201128190 and

She of all persons would be of great help here..
However Tempest self-identifies isn't nearly as important as Tempest's genial and disarming personality.

Well then. This looks like it'll be fun.
Dark Galacthanos is coming !!!!
Sooo...
Still speculation, but:
Matriarch/Harpy Hero Deck
Baron Blade Hero Deck
All of the new Hero Decks will most likely have Oblivaeon's Scions as their nemeses.
I bet Oblivaeon will have no nemesis icon, since if it had any, it'd be EVERY ONE! at which point you'd ALWAYS have to +1 your damage to him, and his damage to you... It would be unwieldly in regards to game design. So I'm thinking he'll have Scions coming out that have their own nemeses.
I bet one of the Scions will be Tempest's nemesis, for... reasons...
Wonder what else could be in the next expansion?!
Oh, that would be something -- he has Scions who are previously-present characters in new forms, like Apocalypse's four horsemen.
Perhaps we'll see certain villains return as "Scions", there's the idea that one of them is Voss, so maybe there'll be more.
There has been a woeful lack of Parse in this ARG.
They need 1000% more Parse.
Apparently we were all so excited about the revelations that we crashed the damn site.
It was a dark time.
