Wow, that was unexpected.

Nice to see that she can compete with the big boys again. Really Clockwork, you should not have sent him against her without Scourge's Narrative Field backing him. I mean, come on. He's an idiot and she isn't, plus it's more narratively satisfying for her to win. You should have known that.

I've launched pages for both this wonderful series and its predecessor, because they are awesome and need more love.

As this is a wiki, I call on you, fellow Patchwork Fans, to help these pages grow. Add tropes to the pages as you see fit, and add references to them wherever they could go. :)

Because, seriously, Dr. Ecchs is much less of a buffoonish half-wit than he seems and Ash is a ninja. If anyone could hide his true power level, it wouldn't surprise me if it was him.

perhaps its supposed to be…. Lucky?

First Hint: Comic #161 - At this point, it's revealed the Jim's powers aren't pseudotech, psychic, or anything else that Lockdown can stop. On the other hand, Jim isn't a normal human because Lockdown didn't knock him out.

Second Hint: Comic #185 - During the alternate realities storyline, everyone who could be present in a reality bubble always was. The only one missing in this bubble was Jim. This was because the Chitrani weren't stopped on Sayleen, and thus Jim's entire species was dead in that timeline. Jim was also the one who instantly knew about how the Chitrani were defeated - it's a much bigger deal on Sayleen than on Earth, where it is just another one of the League's great accomplishments.

Third Hint Comic #195 - I still haven't decided whether Handyman actually knew that there was Christmas in Wisconsin. Probably he did, but you can call it a hint if you want.

Fourth Hint Comic #200 - Handyman knew about the Justicars. At this point, that was not as dramatically obvious, but it became clear shortly afterwards that only Magister or K'Lara could have told him those stories, the others being accounted for.

Fifth Hint Comic #201 - This would have been a heck of a lot more noticeable if we weren't in 8-bits, but Fixit's mechanics are the same shades of grey, with the same alternations, as Handyman's.

Sixth Hint Comic #240 - Jim really did have a lot of his current persona connected to that hat.

Seventh Hint Comic #244 - Also, he loves Sayleen food. And is vegetarian (well, herbivorous, technically, but you know).

Eighth Hint Comic #311 - K'Lara gives a discussion about Sayleen philosophies. Most of the things she says are a lot like what Jim says about not wanting to live in the past anymore.

General Hint: Jim's total obsession with not taking off his hat. Under any circumstance. Ever.

There were also hints dropped in the serials, but I can't find them at the moment due to my internet being slow and lazy. Suffice to say that eventually Nadia did find out that Jim was an alien, if only because eventually she was going to see him without his hat, what with them living together.

Don't you mean Nadia?

"You know, I have to go… water my… cape"

mwehehehe…

I'm also quite fond of

"Aged to death. He aged to death. Who would actually BELEIVE that?"
"I thought it was rather clever."
"You would!"

epic. Just epic.

So, at the risk of overloading the forum with posts by its owner, I'll get the ball rolling on this one.

Chances are you all know me, but regardless:

I's the by that owns the site, and I's the by that writes her. I's the by that's totally going to update the Encyclopedia when my roleplaying writing doesn't get in the way. ;)

However, I can't decide whether this is because he and his craziness get to be described in more detail now, or because he (as he said) doesn't have to pull punches against the antiheroes.
Anyone else notice this or have comments to make on it?

You said quite awhile ago that Judgment had found a way to get narrative law on his side. I was wondering how he manged to do that. And, in this installment, we have the payoff. He discovered that Good always Triumphs over Evil, then he spent many years finding out what the criteria for "Good" was and then he always stayed within those bounds while committing his acts of terrorism.

This is not something I would ever have thought of, but it makes so much sense to me now that it has been articulated. It works perfectly. I have said before and I'll say it again: you are amazing at plot twists.

Hopefully, this forum will be getting off the ground, as things settle down here at the new site, so I figured I would note a few rules. Wikidot forums are a bit odd, so this can take a bit of getting used to.

1) Please keep discussion in the right area. It doesn't matter much yet, but it may well in the future if people start commenting. In general, the "per page" discussions are for questions, comments, or speculation based on the daily update. The "General Discussion" section is for general questions about the serial, such as character or history questions, or random commentary and speculation.

If I run across threads in the wrong place, I will just move them to the correct area without much fanfare. Hopefully that'll keep things organized without confusing people too much. ;)

2) Keep it friendly. You guys are a pretty easygoing lot, so it probably goes without saying, but personal attacks or the like would make me sad.

3) Keep it work-safe. If you wouldn't want people reading it over your shoulder, this is probably not a good forum to post it in. ;)

That's about it. I don't want to overmoderate or anything, but I figured better to have ground rules than not. Any questions about the rules can be posted to this thread; this post will be updated if the rules have to be changed for whatever reason.

Great job! Keep it up.
