	Rather than the tabletop rpg setting of constant combat that we see today, Erfworld REALLY started off like a time/resource management simulator, and all the sides were supposed to be racing to see who could create the most profitable society in the least amount of time. Somewhere in the distant past, one side got ahead of itself and kept claiming more cities than it could pay for, and was in danger of going bankrupt (and thus "losing" according to the original game) when it stumbled upon a hack that could save it... attacking other sides. Other sides heard the idea and started to copy it in part or in whole, more sides were forced to join in simply for self-defense, and with all the focus on making it through the war, all resources were turned to making warriors. Tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of turns later, we are at the Erfworld of today... no one even remembers the world's original intent, or that there even was a time when warfare wasn't an option. The only ones who even have an inkling are the Hippiemancers, who dream of a world without conflict... and Charlie, who is only in it for the shmuckers. --[[User:No one in particular\|No one in particular]]		Rather than the tabletop rpg setting of constant combat that we see today, Erfworld REALLY started off like a time/resource management simulator, and all the sides were supposed to be racing to see who could create the most profitable society in the least amount of time.

	So why wasn't Parson blasted? Because his stats are invisible! None of the casters present could understand why they couldn't tell what he was, so they held him there, awaiting word from those in charge of the Kingdom. Janis lied when she claimed him as a Hippiemancer, but it was the only way to ensure he would survive to end war on Erf, since who would dare dispute the word of a Grand Abbie about recognizing a fellow Hippiemancer? Once the Sizemore-Wanda-Maggie link-up was broken though, it was discovered that Parson was a Chief Warlord as well, and opinion turned against him. When they wake Parson up to send him home, the casters of the Magic Kingdom seem more disgusted and angry, rather than frightened and confused, which would be the natural reaction to someone stumbling through your perfect defense and not dropping dead. Simply, they felt betrayed. --[[User:No one in particular\|No one in particular]]		So why wasn't Parson blasted? Because his stats are invisible!

		+	===Parson is a Date-a-Mancer===
		+	Parson is not a signamancer, as has been previously put forth, but is actually a date-a-mancer. From what's been said of it, date-a-mancy is about looking at units, comparing them, and trying to understand the underlying numbers of every action. They are "useful in warfare and logistics."
		+
		+	Parson doesn't care what a unit looks like, but he sure cares about what it can DO. After all, in his spare time, he was with Jack running "What if X and Y fought?" scenarios, not designing new uniforms for the troops.
		+
		+	Any Signamancy Parson has been doing has been cross-class, much like Ace's rhyme-o-mancy or Wanda's Dollamancy. Parson shines not when he's dressing something up or interpreting what it stands for, but when he's presented with a situation, sees that it would end badly... then figuring out how to make it end ''better.'' --[[User:No one in particular\|No one in particular]]

		+	Taken to its logical conclusion, clearly '''every branch of magic represented in the Kingdom has a conspiracy of their own'''. Notable examples include:
		+	*The dirtamancers have the Underground Movement
		+	*The stagemancers have the Producers, who rule from their casting couches
		+	*The predictamancers have their Psychic Hotline (the leaders of which just sit around all day saying "I knew it!")

-	On the other hand, perhaps Erfworld was meant to be a testing ground for a different type of conflict. Instead of the straight Nation versus Nation conflict it currently is, or the economic arms race proposed previously, Erfworld was supposed to be about class warfare. Royals versus Commoners. The bonus Royals get would have represented the claim to rule by birthright; faster leveling for education not available to commoners, and possibly a better diet. For balance, the Commoners were given a quicker pop-rate and the Arkentools. After all, of the three Tools seen, all have been attuned to non-royals. This would have been representative of the fact that although royalty leads, the commoners are the tool-users, the doers.	+	On the other hand, perhaps Erfworld was meant to be a testing ground for a different type of conflict.
