Lots of plans.

Only one more spot needed?

So, this raises the question:

How many of the people in the tournament way-back-when were in on Snowman’s plan? How many of them were beaten by the main character directly?

My guess? Aquaman was one of them.

Then…well, you know what happened to him.

Er, not Aquaman, *Waterman*.

Though Aquaman might also be in on the Anti-Tenka team too – wouldn’t be too surprising.

Waterman tried to get Jane removed from the group. Jane being in the group is part of Snowman’s plan. In addition, what Waterman tried was a desperation move. If you are part of a conspiracy, you have no need to do desperation moves.

Man, really seems like pvp is a lot more common than I thought, this is two parties in two sessions picking a fight with them. Though this one seems pretty shady. I’m surprised the open slots that led to the tournament Kat got in through were such a big deal, given the way permadeath works in this. Maybe they’re just easier to knock out permanently because they’re new? Maybe there’s mechanics in place to stop people from spawncamping you and killing you repeatedly to go through all your esones, which would give you time to go get more before you got in another fight. Or maybe people don’t do that because viewers would get upset about it? Hm.

Two things.
1. They are currently in a hacker’s area. Dunno if the snowman group is the hacker or not but they definitely seem very well informed. Nothing about this current area is suppose to be how the game is normally.
2. PvP is always more popular with viewers then PvE. Look at Twitch or other game streaming sites. Do not forget they are suppose to be doing this for views, and killing other people brings in views.

I am sure there are mechanics to stay in the game, otherwise the player list would rotate like crazy. It is probably discouraged to spend large amounts of time doing that stuff tho, for the above mentioned views.

Snowman’s team is trying to be subtle in this case where their PvP tactics aren’t intended to be seen.

This is my prediction: Jane is going to take them out one by one from behind without them noticing until it’s too late.

Maybe it’s just the unusual lighting from all those portals but…that doesn’t look white enough to be Jane. Could it be that mani group-leader with the blond pig-tails? Admittedly, she’s no friend of Jane’s, but she’s just as anti-Tenka.

Possible, but the style is different. I think it’s Jane & she just looks more blonde because of weird cave lighting.

Unless Aneeka’s misleading us, it is Jane, as she’s tagged:

Hmm. Spots, huh.

So who’s that in the last panel and are they watching or part of the group?
Wait, is it Jane with that sand in her hair? So it’s a ticked off Jane. o.O

I like long hair too. …oh; Hello Jane! Speak of the- oh, umm… 😉

Since nobody’s asking the real questions…
Are Snowman and Waterman related?
Is there Fogman, Cloudman, or steamman? What about Plasman?
Or is Snowman actually Waterman, but cold because that’s how revenge is best enjoyed?

;^P

So, looking back at this, I think Jane wants her buddies on the team to replace the Tenka players. Her lashing out was a calculated move to create a panic and set the stage for this raid.

I was looking forward to today’s update to see Jane’s reaction! Will there be one today or will it be delayed? Or is it possible the page scheduling ran into an error?
