Cudley wields the +7
Vorpal"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

I don't really like epic-long webcomics for some reason. I like short 'n' sweet ones. I'm not going to vote for this one.

Multiple large comics, sequentially, with a story that extends over multiple days is kind of dragging. Some comics are designed for story and exposition, but so far, this one hasn't been. It does kind of break from the norm.

Gonna hold off rating until the series is done. I don't think it's fair to judge a movie scene-by-scene (although MST3K was never "fair"...)

Intelligent life outside of Nethack? Is that...possible?

Um, Mr Nameless? I think you forgot the punchline.

I was going to rate it good, till I saw the corpses of Dogley's DISINTEGRATION blast.
