Magus Magus Magus Magus Magus

That's right, I'm making a list of who to send to my own Zeality style death camps fun farms.


I pick Magil. The change from a child that blames himself, to someone who tries to be completely self-reliant, to someone that others can actually rely on is, in my mind, much more interesting and challenging than someone who reverts back to a self-blaming child from despair. "Darker" isn't better.

Is this a poll for our favorite in the list, or whom we dislike the most?

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Maggiekarp, I agree 110%.

[Sajainta]

I haven't played RD (boo to me), but from what I've read and heard from people who've played it, I have my vote for Magil.

[tushantin]

(boo to me)

Yes, Boo "The Gentleman Caller" to you! (Except he's already married)

I pick grown up Janus.

[CelestialPhantasm]

I voted for Robo... because you gave me the option of voting for Robo.

That was your mistake.

[utunnels]

Nah, a Grobyc/cyborG is better.

For example, captured by some crazy porren scientist and you know what's next.

What actually is a Zeality style death camp fun farm?

[Katie Skyye]

I vote Magil because I'm not a huge Guile fan and because I have no idea who "Alternate History Janus" is...

Also, Tush, what's with the random Bartimaeus Trilogy fanart?

[Kodokami]

Sheeeeeeeeit, that's Bartimaeus fanart? I should have noticed. I love that series.

[Sajainta]

Also, Tush, what's with the random Bartimaeus Trilogy fanart?

Yeah, that was a real "picture is unrelated" moment...

Nope! Everyone just knows that "John Mandrake" is actually a non-Magus Janus / Nathaniel.  

Although: kudos, Katie, for recognizing it!


P.S.: I JUST BECAME A HERO OF TIME! How did I NOT notice it before?

[Mr Bekkler]

Nope! You and Katie are literally the only two people I know of who recognize that. In my experience, NOBODY knows who "John Mandrake" is, period.
Explain your obscure references ahead of time, MANG! Lest you be called a hipster!  


Seriously though, not everybody reads/watches the same stuff, I would say it's safe to assume 99% of Compendiumites aren't intimately familiar with anything but Chrono stuff, Dr Who (that's still a stretch), and Sherlock (a waaaay bigger stretch, there's not even time travel). That's not to say that anyone's stupid, but you can't assume we just know.

[CelestialPhantasm]

I didn't recognize the source of the image. Yet, I understood in the context of his post, that tushantin was using it as a representation of his idea of an alternate-timeline grown-up Janus. So, I really do not find it necessary for him to have explained the reference.

[Mr Bekkler]

Hipster!

I actually voted for alt Janus, because I like the idea of him having another chance.


Edit: And yes, I got that it was tush's idea of the character, but it is a pretty big picture with no explanation. Whatevs. Not a big deal
