Jack Snipe is a [[Foolamancer]] in the service of [[Stanley the Tool]].

==Plot==
Jack is a [[unit]] of the former [[Kingdom of Faq]].
[[Jillian Zamussels]] refers to him as a master-class [[Foolamancer]] and genius at distractions. She also mentions that Jack may have had a crush on her.
His [[Foolamancy]] skills were such that he was capable of [[veil]]ing an entire settlement from observation. He was able to [[veil]] the cities of Faq one after another as determined by [[Marie]] and thus kept the location of Faq hidden for a long time.{{erf|1|107}}

=Proposed Canon=
''"May not an ass know when the cart draws the horse?"''

'''Strengths:''' Understanding Others

'''Weaknesses:''' Clarity of Speech

'''First Appearance:''' [[TBFGK 24]]

==Witticisms==
Jack frequently speaks strangely, often using metaphors or aphorisms to get his point across.

*''A house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived''{{blog|2009|06|summer-updates-037}}
*''Fashions change, my good Lord, the taking of prisoners is passé. Skulls are the new shackles. But black still goes with anything.''{{blog|2009|06|summer-updates-037}}

=Speculation=
His sanity was severely harmed either by being linked up with [[Misty]] and [[Maggie]] during [[Stanley the Tool]]'s experiments into [[Caster Link]]s or by [[Maggie]] severing the link and allowing the other two casters to take all the damage{{erf|1|084}}. He recovered after [[Jillian Zamussels|Jillian]] addressed him by name, despite the fact that being called by name by [[Parson]] had had little if any effect.{{erf|1|108}}{{erf|1|113}}

Jack, like [[Wanda Firebaugh]], seems to be extremely loyal to Lord Stanley, although for him this may be due to loyalty spells.

Jack's appearance, manner of speech, and frequent playing of the Fool as well as Foolamancer gives him a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespearean Shakespearean] feel.

Ironically Jill(ian) could arguably be the one who fixed Jack's 'crown' that is to say, she helped recompose his mind.

==Equipment==

Jack has been described as carrying a staff with a Magic Eight Ball on top. This is a reference to how this toy speaks cryptically. Also, the webcomic Order of the Stick, which has had a close relationship with Erfworld, has had its character Elan carrying a similar staff.

==Real World References==
*Jack Snipe's crush on Jillian is possibly related to the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill."
*A snipe hunt is a fools errand inflicted on a gullible person - for example, the act of sending an industrial apprentice to look for a left handed spanner or a bag of half-inch holes. (Or headlamp fluid and elbow grease.)
*Jack's appearance and name may also be a reference to the actor Jack Nicholson.
*Jack's behavior and looks might also be a reference to "The Joker," the comic book villain from the Batman universe. The Joker was famously portrayed by Jack Nicholson (whose pre-Joker identity was named "Jack Napier" which is a pun on the word jackanape, meaning an impudent person, or a saucy and mischievous child). This connection is underlined in the first Summer Update <sup>[[First_Intermission_36]]</sup> and in ''Love is a Battlefield'' {{erf|2|004}}, where Jack is revealed to be wearing a [[raiment]] very much akin to Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker.
*Jack's name and behavior is also said to be a reference to the Jack Snipe, a European migratory wading [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Snipe bird]. The Jack Snipe is known for it's natural camouflage in it's natural environment, and the difficulty in spotting it without specific technique.
*While Jack is suffering from the mental effects of the breaking of the [[Link|link]], much of his dialogue is drawn from or inspired by the Fool in [http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext97/1ws3310.txt King Lear], including such gems as "may not an ass know when the cart draws the horse" and referring to Stanley as "nuncle".{{erf|1|081}}
*Jack makes frequent quotation of real world literature concerning clowns, fools, or related characters. In addition to the aforementioned references to the Fool from ''King Lear'' Jack is seen to quote Caliban from ''The Tempest'' and Pennywise from the Stephen King novel ''It''.
*A jacksnipe is a kind of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksnipe boat]. How this relates to the character, if at all, is unclear.

Talk:Heavy Unit

2010-12-14T03:49:05Z

Paper Golem: /* The bigger they are, the lighter they fall? */

="Heavy units pop in ruins"=
GK wasn't a ruin; it was a heavily damaged city with a low level. -- [[user:DevilDan|DevilDan]]

DevilDan: yes, but the page for the [[Ruins]] terrain type mentions that sometimes units pop there, often groups of heavies.

=The bigger they are, the lighter they fall?=
Bit of speculation here: Heavy units are more likely to survive falls. Evidence for this includes Bogroll's survival of tackling Ansom off the tower, and Parson's minimal damage from crashing a dwagon into the courtyard. Now for the wild speculation! This hardiness, combined with the conflicting nerf of being unable to ride mounts, means that a unit on a flying mount will be forced in to a rough landing. They'll get banged up, but they WILL be on the ground again, wherever they are. Even if it's an enemy city. And it's not their turn. - No one in particular

*My hypothesis is that mounted units promoted to heavy teleport to the nearest ground. No falling or anything between the states of flying and grounded. Erfworld doesn't do "inbetween" very well. --[[User:Paper Golem|Paper Golem]] 03:49, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Date-a-mancy

2010-09-23T22:24:52Z

Paper Golem: /* Known Date-a-mancers */

=Canon=
{{MagicSchool
|Hippiemancy
}}

=Proposed Canon=

Among other things, Hippiemancy is the magic of relationships: detecting and altering the forces of opposition and attraction which bind people or units. Date-a-mancy is the oddest branch of Hippiemancy, in that it follows the Numbers which underlie all action. Date-a-mancy tries to quantify the intangible, things like leadership and compatibility and morale and Loyalty and Duty and even love, by means of match-ups. This can be very useful in warfare and logistics, but tends to wreak havoc among personal and political relationships. Sides tend not to keep their Date-a-mancers very long, because knowing the cold truth behind our interpersonal relationships only causes grief.

==Information==

Date-a-mancy is one of the three disciplines of the [[Magic]] class [[Hippiemancy]]; it is aligned with the axis of [[Numbers]].{{erf|1|038a|Parson's Klog #2}}

==Abilities==

*Date-a-mancy was used in the creation of the [[Magic_Item#Laurel_of_Napster|Laurel of Napster]], alongside [[Hat Magic]], in a [[Caster Link]]. Considering the [[Magic Item]] is worn on the head, we can assume that the greater part of the abilities of the item are Date-a-mantic in nature. The item allows its wearer to instantly and accurately surmise the likely result of any two [[unit]]s engaging in direct single combat. In this way a [[Warlord]] can choose the most advantageous pairings in a fight, and improving his [[side]]'s chances of success. Therefore it is likely that one aspect of Date-a-mancy is the instantaneous processing, and possibly the intuitive acquisition, of important data. Contrasting this with [[Mathamancy]] as in [[Parson Gotti]]'s [[Magic Item#Mathamancy Bracer|Bracer]], the Bracer provides a precise numerical probability of success or failure in a particular venture, whereas the Laurel simply provides a generalized advantage/disadvantage report (with some indication of severity). The Bracer would tell you how likely you were to win a combat overall, while the Laurel would tell you who would have an advantage if the two best fighters were to square off, for instance.

==Known Date-a-mancers==

[[Uhura]], who chose [[Sizemore]] as her 'companion for the evening' in [http://www.erfworld.com/2010/09/book-2-%e2%80%93-text-updates-031/ text update 31], because he was lonely, and she felt it would be interesting to be with a lonely man.

=Speculation=
[[Magic]]al disciplines on [[Erfworld]] often include a variety of different applications, each of which is based on a different interpretation of the discipline's name. For example, [[Turnamancy]] grants power over both the number of [[turns]] it takes to [[pop]] a [[unit]], and the [[turning]] of [[prisoner]]s.

1) The term "[[Date-a-mancy]]" suggests a particularly interesting potential combination of abilities. First, since this magic is aligned with Numbers and with Hippiemancy, "date" may have a meaning similar to a calendrical date, making date-a-mancy an analog of numerology or astrology in some form or fashion. Another option playing on this relationship is interpreting the name as its homophone "datamancy" - the processing of information, like Mathamancy but with less numeric sorts of information.
[[Date-a-mancy]] may also refer to "date" in the sense of a romantic pairing, i.e. "going on a date", and therefore be involved with love spells. This would be consistent with Hippiemancy ("Free Love").
[[Category:Magic]][[Category:Proposed Canon]][[Category:Speculation]]

2) Perhaps the best evidence into the nature of Date-a-mancy is where it falls within, and thus its connotations with Hippiemancy and a date-a-mancy influenced Laurel owned by Duncan Scone, chief warlord of Faq. With their confluence of Life and Matter and their absence of Motion Classes, it may be that within Hippiemancy Flower Power (Erf) might influence the environment/nature (space), Signamancy (Fate) might influence perspective/insight (vision), and Date-a-mancy (Numbers) might influence synchronicity [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity]. Synchronicity may be best understood as "time in meaningful events", or put more clearly from the typical perspective, "the inverse of meaningful events in time".

In this way, Date-a-Mancy may detect or impact meaningful events across dates and time. For example, Dittomancy (also of ''Matter'' and ''Numbers'' like Date-a-Mancy) appears to create causal replicas (''Numbers'') of ''stuff'' that already exists currently (no control over ''Time''.) [http://www.erfworld.com/page/4/] Foolamancy (also of ''Life'' and ''Numbers'' like Date-a-Mancy) appears to manipulate the appearance (''Numbers'') of existing ''beings'' including making non-empty space appear empty (again no control over ''Time''.) In this way, coupled with the apparently experiential nature of ''Hippiemancy'', Date-a-Mancy (''Matter'', ''Life'', and ''Numbers''), may allow a Date-a-Mancer to perceive, create, or replicate meaningful experiential connections (''Life'') of events (''Stuff'') acausally [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality] that is to say with control over ''Time'' or in other words with the ability to manipulate meaningful experiential connections across, between, or irrespective of different dates and times.

So what's the practical meaning of this? It could manifest in multitude of ways, but here are some examples 1) if Date-a-Mancy can give ''perception'' it might manifest as a Date-a-Mancer having the facility for accurate assumptions, as every wild guess made turns out to be true, 2) if Date-a-Mancy can ''create'' it might manifest as a Date-a-Mancer having the ability to cause "the most unpredictable yet possible" coincidence to occur which would be likely unknowable in advance to the Date-a-Mancer or anyone else, yet be ''literally reasonably explained'' post event, 3) if a Date-a-Mancer can ''replicate'' it might manifest as the experience of Déjà vu
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu] or the experience of classically defined synchronicity [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity].

Finally, the descriptions (above) now have evidence in the date-a-mancy influenced artifact owned by Duncan Scone, chief warlord of Faq. The magic Laurel allows Duncan to do match up scenarios of two units (or perhaps stacks) in a battle and see who is most likely the victor. In this way, he can pick optimal matchups and not waste stronger units overpowering weaker (overkill) or the reverse despite unit appearances. This power in addition to predicting the future also has the pun of not being unlike a 'date' between two battling units.

A character is any person or individual. Pages regarding characters may also be included in this category without having the subject of one specific person. Characters are grouped below according to several schemes followed by a list of all pages in the category arranged alphabetically.

==What constitutes a "Character"?==

To be a character three conditions must be met:
* '''A character must be a person''', or at least an empathetic animal. It must be able to act, think and feel. We must be able to empathize with it. For instance, Wanda's wardrobe isn't a character, because we wouldn't care if it were destroyed and replaced.
* '''A character must be individual in a significant way.''' For instance, Stanley's plated red dwagon is not an individual. There are (or at least could be) other red plated dwagons, and being "Stanley's" isn't a characteristic of the dwagon itself. Having a name is individual, but it may not have any significance.
* '''A character must have narrative persistence.''' The character needs to appear at more than one point in the narration. These appearances can be direct, references to the character, or new things that imply the character's existence.

===Character paraphernalia and insignificant individuals===
If, for whatever reason, there are pages with topics that are character-like or related, feel free to include them in this category, but please try to avoid adding cordwood to the taxonomies.

''"This is a great day! A great day!"''

'''Strengths:''' Creativity, Gung-Ho

'''Weaknesses:''' Dealing With Disappointment, Persecution Complex

'''First Appearance:''' [[LIAB Text 30]]

Ace, Lord Hardware, is a [[Dollamancy|Dollamancer]] in service to [[Jetstone]]. He [[pop]]ped in [[Dhrystone]] following the loss of Chief Dollamancer [[Holly Shortcake]]. He has served under four [[Chief Warlord]]s, meaning he began under the Chief predating [[Ansom]].

He is tall and brawny, with metal gauntlets that cover his entire arms, a shirt that shows off his abs, boots, and a tall flat-top haircut, and carries a huge multi-bow [[Magic Item|accessory]].

He specializes in accessories (Hardware), and wishes to create action figures.

He finds using plush and glass boring, and perhaps emasculating, and finds [[doll]]s distasteful, to the point he finds [[Transylvito]]'s Dollamancer, who specializes in them, a pervert.

He created the [[Magic Item#Bracer Blaster|Bracer Blaster]] for [[Ossomer]].

Along with the [[Healomancy|Healomancer]] and [[Dittomancy|Dittomancer]], Ace was sent to defend the [[hex]] on [[Jetstone]]'s side of the [[Expository Bridge]].

Is friends with [[Cubbins]], who helped him pursue his creative interests as a sort of hobby, helping him maintain his sanity.

=Real World References=
Ace Hardware is a chain hardware store serving the United States. Of course the "hardware" Ace specializes in is more military hardware, or small arms and ordnance, than hammers and drills.

Ace himself resembles an action figure. Most likely as a deliberate contrast to the assumed femininity of dolls.

A character is any person or individual. Pages regarding characters may also be included in this category without having the subject of one specific person. Characters are grouped below according to several schemes followed by a list of all pages in the category arranged alphabetically.

==What constitutes a "Character"?==

To be a character three conditions must be met:
* '''A character must be a person''', or at least an empathetic animal. It must be able to act, think and feel. We must be able to empathize with it. For instance, Wanda's wardrobe isn't a character, because we wouldn't care if it were destroyed and replaced.
* '''A character must be individual in a significant way.''' For instance, Stanley's plated red dwagon is not an individual. There are (or at least could be) other red plated dwagons, and being "Stanley's" isn't a characteristic of the dwagon itself. Having a name is individual, but it may not have any significance.
* '''A character must have narrative persistence.''' The character needs to appear at more than one point in the narration. These appearances can be direct, references to the character, or new things that imply the character's existence.

===Character paraphernalia and insignificant individuals===
If, for whatever reason, there are pages with topics that are character-like or related, feel free to include them in this category, but please try to avoid adding cordwood to the taxonomies.

'''[[Situation Room]] Notes 11'''

'''Gravity Exception for [[Archer]]y Off-[[Turn]]?'''

We were gaming a [[dwagon]] attack on a Level 4 [[city]] today, and I asked [[Jack Snipe|Jack]] about where the boundary between the [[airspace]] and the [[garrison]] was. He gave me that "you're pretty dumb for a smart guy" look and told me he "supposed it was the ground".

I said, "no when you're in the airspace of an enemy city and you shoot an arrow, where does it land?" He said if you shot it outside of the city or at the [[tower]] it would stick in the air. I said right but what about the ground? He said "things fall down, don't they? Everyone and everything falls down."

So my idea about non-archers throwing bricks out of the tower to the courtyard extends to [[mount]]ed [[flying unit|flyers]]. In a city airspace, they could just drop arrows or whatever, and yellow dwagons can crap from the airspace off turn.

Could be useful. I wanna talk to [[Sizemore Rockwell|Sizemore]] about bombs. Maybe he can do portable [[Dirtamancy]] traps we could drop from dwagons.

'''Falling Dudes'''

So then we got into the rules about falling people. Because I was like "why can't mounted flyers just fly down close to the ground and jump off their mounts to cross zones?"

Answer: it counts as a "[[fall]]" in the physics of Erfworld. It's natural [[Shockmancy]]. When you fall, one of three things happens: you are injured (possibly only slightly), you are [[incapacitated]] (you [[croaking|croak]] in one turn if not given [[Healomancy]]), or you just croak. Height of the fall does seem to have some bearing on that, but it's essentially random. You can croak from a three foot fall.

So if you get dismounted, it's a fall. Knocked off a tower or a wall? Fall. Your flying mount is shot out from under you? Fall. Flyers that can capture an enemy unit can then release it in midair to cause a fall. [[Weirdomancy|Weirdomancers]] can cancel a flyer's special to make it fall (or make a non-flyer fly, then dispel it and cause a fall). There's a lot of

=Incapacitated=

==Proposed Canon==

When a [[unit]] is incapacitated it is unable to preform actions and will [[croak]] on the ext turn without [[Healomancy]].

==Similar states in other games==

Other games have analogous states. D&D has "alive, but with negative hit points." Most JRPGs has a KO status.

=Fall=

A fall is any transitions from airspace (flying) to the ground without landing.

Falls are natural events that can occur without any expenditure of effort. A fall can violate normal rules for traveling between zones.

All falls, regardless of height, produce damage. This damage is considered to be natural [[shockmancy]]. This damage may take the forms of injury, [[Incapacitated|Incapacity]] or death. All falls represent significant risk.

Paper Golem: /* Caster */

A character is any person or individual. Pages regarding characters may also be included in this category without having the subject of one specific person. Characters are grouped below according to several schemes followed by a list of all pages in the category arranged alphabetically.

==What constitutes a "Character"?==

To be a character three conditions must be met:
* '''A character must be a person''', or at least an empathetic animal. It must be able to act, think and feel. We must be able to empathize with it. For instance, Wanda's wardrobe isn't a character, because we wouldn't care if it were destroyed and replaced.
* '''A character must be individual in a significant way.''' For instance, Stanley's plated red dwagon is not an individual. There are (or at least could be) other red plated dwagons, and being "Stanley's" isn't a characteristic of the dwagon itself. Having a name is individual, but it may not have any significance.
* '''A character must have narrative persistence.''' The character needs to appear at more than one point in the narration. These appearances can be direct, references to the character, or new things that imply the character's existence.

===Character paraphernalia and insignificant individuals===
If, for whatever reason, there are pages with topics that are character-like or related, feel free to include them in this category, but please try to avoid adding cordwood to the taxonomies.

Paper Golem: /* Gobwin Knob */ moved repeated info to higher bullets

A character is any person or individual. Pages regarding characters may also be included in this category without having the subject of one specific person. Characters are grouped below according to several schemes followed by a list of all pages in the category arranged alphabetically.

==What constitutes a "Character"?==

To be a character three conditions must be met:
* '''A character must be a person''', or at least an empathetic animal. It must be able to act, think and feel. We must be able to empathize with it. For instance, Wanda's wardrobe isn't a character, because we wouldn't care if it were destroyed and replaced.
* '''A character must be individual in a significant way.''' For instance, Stanley's plated red dwagon is not an individual. There are (or at least could be) other red plated dwagons, and being "Stanley's" isn't a characteristic of the dwagon itself. Having a name is individual, but it may not have any significance.
* '''A character must have narrative persistence.''' The character needs to appear at more than one point in the narration. These appearances can be direct, references to the character, or new things that imply the character's existence.

===Character paraphernalia and insignificant individuals===
If, for whatever reason, there are pages with topics that are character-like or related, feel free to include them in this category, but please try to avoid adding cordwood to the taxonomies.

Stats

Paper Golem: /* Unknowable */ close paren, right paragrph this time

=Proposed Canon=
A unit's stats(also called statistics or points) are a set of whole numbers that describe it's abilities. Each unit has five knowable stats and at least two hidden stats. It is unknown if units with special abilities may also have additional stats.

==Visible Stats==
These can be seen by every [[Commander]] naturally{{Erf|1|040a}}.

'''''[[Move]]''''':
A measure of a [[unit]]'s ability to travel across the hex grid. Units have their move reset to its full value at the beginning of their side's turn; unused move reverts to zero at the end of the turn.

'''''[[Hits]]''''':
A measure of the amount of damage the [[unit]] can sustain before it is croaked. Units regain all lost hits at the beginning of their [[side]]'s [[turn]].

'''''[[Combat_(stat)|Combat]]''''':
Not explicitly described; apparently a measure of the [[unit]]'s ability to inflict damage. (It is transcribed as "Attack" in one of Parson's Klog entries.)

'''''[[Defense]]''''':
Not explicitly described; apparently a measure of the [[unit]]'s ability to minimize or avoid damage from an attack.

==Knowable==
These can be known, but are not instantly known by all and make take some reasoning.

'''''[[Level]]''''':
A measure of a [[Unit]]'s relative power vs. other Units of the same type. [[Level]] is a statistic that increases, thanks to [[Experience]] gains. As Level increases, new abilities may become available.

'''''[[Upkeep]]''''':
Upkeep is a cost paid by [[Ruler]]s to maintain [[Unit]]s.{{erf|1|039}} Certain units, such as [[Decrypted]], have no upkeep.{{erf|1|145}} Upkeep has not been described as a stat, but it is a value that all Units have, even if zero.

==Unknowable==
'''''[[Loyalty]]''''':
Although the result of [[Natural Thinkamancy]], Loyalty is expressed as a unit statistic. However, the value any unit has is unknown. That value can be altered by [[Thinkamancy]] such as a [[Suggestion Spell]]. It is probable that loyalty is subjective and is different if different sides are involved.

'''''[[Experience]]''''':
Experience is a statistic theorized to exist that explains why units level. A measure of the amount of combat a [[Unit]] has participated in. This statistic increases as the Unit [[Croaking|croaks]] enemies. The value of this statistic is hidden from other units and even from the Unit itself.

'''''[[Score]]''''':
Determines one's fate in the afterlife. Also a measure of one's accomplishments in life. Score is a debated matter of conjecture in [[Erfworld]], akin to a theological argument. (Although it's existence as a matter of conjecture in [[Erfworld]] is quite certain to the readership.)

=Speculation=

==Possible Stats==
It is possible that [[Unit]]s have other non-visible stats or stats that are only relevant with certain special abilities.

'''''[[Leadership]]''''':
A [[Warlord]] unit may have a leadership stat that determines what bonus they provide, or the bonus may be a function of level.

'''''[[Magic]]''''':
All [[Caster]]s of the same discipline and level may not be equal. For instance [[Wanda]] is said to be better outside of her discipline than [[Sizemore]].{{erf|1|013}}

'''''[[Juice]]''''':
How many spells a Caster can throw in a Turn without resorting to [[Scroll]]s.

'''''Intelligence''''':
Obviously not everyone has equal mental abilities. It's also possible that people's mental abilities are more quantifiable on ErfWorld than Earth.

'''''[[Luckamancy|Luck]]''''':
Random events may be biased in favor if those with higher luck stats.

'''''Weight''''':
Resistance to force and gravitational pull. The only implications we've seen are the ability (or lack thereof) to mount another unit.

'''''[[Fate]]''''':
Some Units may have a greater propensity for attaining certain specific goals. [[Wanda]]'s Fate score might be very high.

'''''Sovereignty''''':
Some Rulers may have a greater degree of control over what sort of units their sides produce than others. [[Royal]]s may have an advantage over [[Overlord]]s here.

'''''Immortality''''':
If the Titans do allow some Units to have a life after death in the [[City of Heroes]], there must be a Stat which measures how much progress a Unit has made towards being admitted to the City. One of the other stats, like Level or Experience, might be used to determine this, but it may have a separate stat, if winning isn't everything. Some Units, like [[Wrigley]], never achieve level or experience, but still hope for immortality.

Paper Golem: /* Speculation */

=Proposed Canon=
Ships are nonliving [[Water Capable]] [[unit]]s. They can carry additional units across water [[hex]]es.

Ships have [[level]]s like other units. They can reach at least level four.

=Speculation=
There may be different types of ships, or the type may change with levels. One type is the [[Galleon]].

Ships may level up via experience earned in combat like other units, or they may have to be created at a particular level, or increase in some other way.

Ships may [[pop]] like other units, or may be created through a construction process, like [[Fabrication]].

Ships may level by by being upgraded like cities.

==Carrying Capacity==
A lvl 3 Haggar ship carried 24 units, while two level 2s and a level 4 carried a total of 75.

One possibility is limits of 10 units per level.

=Proposed Cannon=
A unit's score is analogous to the religious concept of Karma and homologous to a player's score in a game. A unit accumulates a higher score through the actions of their life. The existence, importance, and sources of a unit's score seem to be matter of great debate and disagreement.

=Speculation=

==Sources of score==
'''Goodness''': How good and [[Loyalty|loyal]] a [[unit]] is in life.

'''Greatness''': How great or accomplished a [[unit]] is.

=Real World References=
==Games==
In games performance can be characterized by a single dimensional score. A higher score is defined to be more desirable. Using game theory this principle can be extended to any activity with well defined, non-conflicting goals.

==Religion==
Some of the most major debates in christian theology have been over what people are judged by.

===Faith versus Deeds===
The more emotional disagreements have been between weather a person's faith, deeds, or both are essential. More extreme points of view are characterized by the quotes "Faith without deeds is death", and "Your deeds are as dust."

===Complexity versus Single dimension===
A more abstract aspect of the debate is if a person's "goodness" can actually be reduced to a single dimension. If it can then one with enough knowledge (i.e. God) can equivocate between all qualities. Even if you counted multiple things (like both deeds and faith) and were able to add them that would be one dimension. The compexity argument is that some things aren't comparable and judgment must be more complex then that.

A measure of a [[unit]]'s ability to travel across the hex grid. Units have their move reset to its full value at the beginning of their side's turn; unused move reverts to zero at the end of the turn.

'''''[[Hits]]''''':
A measure of the amount of damage the [[unit]] can sustain before it is croaked. Units regain all lost hits at the beginning of their [[side]]'s [[turn]].

'''''[[Combat_(stat)|Combat]]''''':
Not explicitly described; apparently a measure of the [[unit]]'s ability to inflict damage. (It is transcribed as "Attack" in one of Parson's Klog entries.)

''"I did not say it was a stupid idea, Lord. But the strategic advantage of equipping infantry with scary hand puppets is lost on me."''

'''Strengths:''' Patience, Management, Fashion

'''Weaknesses:''' Enthusiasm, Sense of Humor, Capacity for Hope

'''First Appearance:''' [[TBFGK 2]]

Wanda Firebaugh is a [[Croakamancer]] in the service of [[Stanley the Tool|Lord Stanley]]. Before entering Stanley's service, she worked for the [[Kingdom of Faq]]. She is capable of casting a wide variety of [[spell]]s, including the spell that [[Summon Perfect Warlord Spell|summoned]] [[Parson]], but claims to dislike casting spells which are not related to [[croakamancy]]. She has a talent and a taste for interrogation and is capable at it to the point she can break a [[Royal]]'s will. Wanda's ability to gain [[Jillian]]'s cooperation through torture suggests that Wanda has some talent for [[Turnamancy]], since it seems similar to the process [[Vanna]] used while [[turning]] [[Duncan Scone]]. [[Jillian]] thinks Wanda's technique is superior to [[Vanna]]'s.

Wanda is of average height for a human female from [[Erfworld]]. She has raven black hair that reach to her shoulder blades (but is frequently worn up) and white skin. Her eyes are light blue with a white sclera, but no pupil, and the eyebrows are trimmed thin. Like all [[Erfworld]] [[men|humans]], she has a somewhat childlike lower body with slender hips, adequate cleavage, and an overly large head (though this might just be due to artist drawing style). She dresses only in white, red, and black, and usually has some skull motif somewhere in her clothing or accessories.

==The Maze of Fate==

Wanda is absolutely convinced that the [[Predictamancer of Faq]] revealed to her some predictions about the future of [[Erfworld]] that are certain to come true. She knew that she would one day attune to an [[Arkentool]], but did not know how this would come about. As a consequence, whenever she had to make a decision, she took the path which seemed to lead most directly towards the fulfillment of the Prediction. If a choice seemed likely to increase the probability that she would gain an Arkentool, she made that choice, even if it seemed horribly risky. So she conspired to bring [[Stanley]] to [[Faq]], because it was possible that he would die in the battle, allowing her to take the [[Arkenhammer]]. When that plan resulted in the destruction of [[Faq]], she encouraged [[Stanley]] to adopt the high risk strategy of questing for other [[Arkentools]], because it was possible that he might find one she could attune to. The quest for Arkentools nearly led to the destruction of [[Gobwin Knob]], so she persuaded [[Stanley]] to buy an untested, potentially dangerous, and highly expensive spell which might bring a "Perfect Warlord" to [[Erfworld]].
This spell ultimately did lead to Wanda's attunement to the [[Arkenpliers]], which reinforced Wanda's conviction that the [[Predictamancer of Faq]]'s Predictions had been true, and that her method of trying to push history in the "correct" direction does produce results. After she had obtained the [[Arkenpliers]], Wanda made some comments to [[Parson]] which indicate that she thinks she knows some things about his future as well.

Now that [[Gobwin Knob]]'s campaign to conquer [[Jetstone]] has begun, Wanda has once again started to make very dangerous choices, such as her decision to deviate from the battle plans proposed by both [[Ansom]] and [[Parson]], and her decision to personally lead the attack on [[Spacerock]]. Given Wanda's past history, this apparent recklessness may represent an attempt to fulfill another of the [[Predictamancer of Faq]]'s Predictions.

==A Question of Loyalties==

The revelation that [[Faq]] has been restored with [[Jillian]] as its [[Queen]] means that Wanda needs to make a choice she had never before contemplated. Wanda never explicitly choose to serve [[Stanley]] rather than [[Faq]]. She originally hoped that Stanley would croak while attacking Faq. When Faq was destroyed, and Stanley wasn't, she made the best of things and joined forces with Stanley. She continued to serve Stanley even after she gained the [[Arkenpliers]], though whether that's because she feels some [[loyalty]] to Stanley or simply because it seemed the best available option remains unclear. The restoration of Faq means that Wanda could theoretically choose to rejoin her former [[side]], assuming that her [[loyalty]] to [[Gobwin Knob]] is not so strong as to prevent her from doing so.

Since Wanda sees herself as a servant of [[Fate]], she needs to decide whether she could more effectively achieve her [[Fate]] if she belonged to the re[[pop]]ped [[side]] of [[Faq]]. One reason she is uncertain about this is because she really doesn't know for sure how [[Jillian]] feels about her. Wanda originally believed that [[Jillian]] loved her so much that she wouldn't be able to break the [[Suggestion Spell]]. The fact that [[Jillian]] did break the spell suggests that perhaps she wasn't as deeply in love as Wanda hoped and believed.

One indication of how uncertain Wanda suddenly feels is that she does not appear to have immediately notified [[Stanley]] and [[Parson]] of [[Ossomer]]'s revelation. {{Erf|2|011}}

While they are aware that [[Ossomer]] has been captured and [[decrypt]]ed, they have not yet reacted to the substance of his comments. Instead, Wanda requests permission to croak and decrypt [[Jack]], citing as justification the shortage of healing scrolls, rather than the more substantive issue of how he might react to the appearance of a [[Queen]] [[Jillian]]. Wanda cannot raise the issue of how [[Jack]] might react to [[Jillian]] without also raising questions about how she will react. And she doesn't know.

==Wanda's Wardrobe==
[[File:Wanda_livery.png|thumb|Wanda's livery]]
One of Wanda's listed strengths is Fashion, so it's not surprising that she changes her [[raiment]] much more frequently than any other character. At present, Wanda wears an outfit and hairstyle nearly identical to those the Rocky Horror Picture Show character Magenta wears in the final scenes. For a catalog of her costume, visit [[Wanda's Wardrobe]]. Note that this page is image heavy.

Wanda's [[livery]] is a Grey, flowered skull on a black field.

===[[Charlie]]===

Wanda may be the single greatest threat to [[Charlie]]'s survival, because Wanda is trying to start an ideological war. As long as [[combat|War]] is simply a matter of different [[sides]] competing for economic resources, then most [[Royal]]s will not hesitate to hire a non-[[Royal]] [[Mercenary]] like Charlie, if it seems profitable to do so. But by spreading the idea that there is an inherent ideological conflict between [[Royal]]s and [[Units]] [[attuned]] to the [[Arkentool]]s, [[Wanda]] is damaging [[Charlie]]'s ability to persuade [[Royal]]s to hire him.

===[[Parson Gotti]]===

{{:ParsonWanda}}

===[[Prince Ansom]]===

{{:WandaAnsom}}

=Speculation=

==Plot==
Wanda's earliest known affiliation was with [[King Banhammer]] of the [[Kingdom of Faq]]. Wanda is sometimes referred to (for instance, by [[Sizemore]]) as "Lady Firebaugh," which may be an indication that she is a [[noble]].

Following [[Stanley the Plaid]]'s discovery of the [[Arkenhammer]], she attempted to acquire the Arkenhammer by arranging for Stanley to attack Faq. She claims she expected Stanley to be croaked, but her plan failed when Stanley destroyed Faq. She then changed sides, and encouraged Stanley to seek the other Arkentools. {{erf|1|147}}
Since the fall of Faq. Wanda has behaved in a way that suggests she is loyal to Stanley. She obeys his commands and serves his side without being under any loyalty spells. However, this may have been only to preserve his power as a tool to aid her getting an Arkentool to attune to.

During the events described in Book One, Wanda supplemented [[Gobwin Knob]]'s rather meager forces by using [[Croakamancy]] to animate fallen troops as [[uncroaked]]. In particular, all of Stanley's remaining [[warlord]]s (after the death of [[Manpower the Temporary|Lord Manpower the Temporary]]), were uncroaked.

Wanda served as Stanley's chief adviser, being both highly intelligent and adept at persuading him to adopt her suggestions and think they were his idea all along. Most notably, she persuaded Stanley to spend the bulk of the treasury on a spell to summon a "Perfect Warlord" with the military genius to salvage Gobwin Knob's untenable situation, the casting of which summoned [[Parson Gotti]] to [[Erfworld]].

Wanda contributions to [[Stanley the Plaid]]'s war effort during this period included the practice of her "hobbies" -- torture and interrogation. After [[Jillian Zamussels]] was captured and brought to Gobwin Knob, she was subjected to torture and a magic spell (presumably some sort of [[Thinkamancy]]) and persuaded to reveal [[Prince Ansom]]'s battle plans. (There is also a heavily implied sadomasochistic relationship between Wanda and Jillian, which indicates Jillian may not have been totally unwilling.) Wanda also demonstrated that she was capable of handling a wide variety of other [[Magic]], but professed to lack real interest in any besides Croakamancy.

Wanda has recently come into ownership of the [[Arkenpliers]] and was able to 'attune' to them. According to her, it was [[Predictamancy|Predicted]] in Faq "long ago" that this would come to pass, and that she has "wrecked and ruined" more than Parson (who, for perspective, had at the time of this comment just recently brought about the destruction of the entire Royal Coalition present at or near Gobwin Knob as well as all but a few soldiers on his own side) to ensure this would come to pass.

Wanda was able to utilize the [[Arkenpliers]] to acquire control of a large army in a single turn because she had the remarkable good fortune to attune to the Arkenpliers immediately after an army of thousands were croaked and before the bodies vanished. The fact that she acquired an Arkentool at the exact time and place where her new tool could provide her with vast power suggests that her belief that she was 'fated' to gain an [[Arkentool]] is correct.

Since she acquired the [[Arkenpliers]], Wanda and her [[Decrypted]] [[Chief Warlord]] [[Ansom]] have defeated [[Unaroyal]] in the name of Lord [[Stanley]]. Their next target is [[Jetstone]].

==Other Speculation==

Wanda informed [[Parson]] after the Battle of Gobwin Knob that her real loyalty is not to [[Stanley]], but to [[Fate]]. The question is, what does she believe it is her fate to do?

Wanda knew that she was fated to one day [[attune]] to an [[Arkentool]], but did not know which Tool it would be, or exactly how this would be accomplished. This suggests she has not been in direct contact with the [[Predictamancer]] she knew in [[Faq]]. However, now that at least part of her Prediction has been achieved, she may try to seek out further contact with said Predictamancer, assuming he or she is still alive.

Her willingness to continue working with [[Stanley]], even though she now has an [[Arkentool]] of her own, suggests her future goals require at least two Arkentools. It's possible that she will try to acquire other Arkentools for other members of her [[side]], such as [[Sizemore]], [[Jack]], or [[Maggie]].

Given her capacity for casting spells outside of [[Croakamancy]], it's possible that Wanda was required by [[King Banhammer]] to function as a [[Predictamancer]], despite her preference for [[Croakamancy]]. If so, it would explain the lack of [[loyalty]] she displayed toward [[Faq]]. This interpretation is not entirely consistent with the way Wanda explained things to [[Parson]]. But if Wanda was capable of acting as a [[Predictamancer]], but really didn't want to, then she would have good reason to hide her capability from [[Stanley]] and [[Parson]]. After all, if they knew she could act as a [[Predictamancer]], they would order her to do so. If this interpretation were correct, it would help explain why Wanda sees herself as a servant of [[Fate]].

=Real World References=

Her name is a pun on "wand of fireball", a fairly common magic item in "Dungeons & Dragons" and other fantasy games.

Depending on pronounciation, her last name also becomes "firebug", a slang term meaning someone who relishes causing destruction, especially through the usage of fire.
A very prophetic last name indeed, given the pivotal role she plays in the [[Volcano Uncroaking]].

Croatan tribe that Wanda hails from really [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatan existed] and is really lost.

It was pointed out that a company named [http://www.wanda-tools.net/ Zhejiang Wanda Tools Co. Ltd] specializes in making pliers.

Her name has been used as a reference to the film, ''A Fish Called Wanda''; however, there are no obvious parallels between the movie (the fish Wanda or the character Wanda Gershwitz) and Wanda Firebaugh.
Some have speculated that the death of the fish called Wanda at the hands of [[Jillian Zamussels]] may be foreshadowing a similar fate for Wanda.

Paper Golem: Moving info from characters page

Wanda and Jillian have an odd, complex relationship. They possibly were friends before [[Faq]] fell. Jillian remained concerned for Wanda even after breaking free of Wanda's spell.

It is implied in Book 2 – Text Updates 010 that before the fall of FAQ Jillian and Wanda were romantically involved. They appear to still have had a romantic and very intimate relationship during the times when [[Jillian]] was captured by [[Gobwin Knob]], but it's unclear how much of that is genuine, how much was the spell of control [[Wanda]] cast on [[Jillian]], and whether there might be other factors involved.

When Jillian breaks free from [[Wanda]]'s [[Suggestion Spell]], Wanda absorbs the full damage from the spell's abrupt termination. It's possible that she absorbed this damage deliberately, in order to avoid harming Jillian. She asked [[Parson]] not to croak Jillian, immediately after the spell broke.

[[Jillian]] tried to persuade [[Wanda]] to leave [[Stanley]]'s [[side]], but her attempts to influence [[Wanda]] were hindered by the fact that she didn't know certain critical facts about Wanda. Jillian did not know about Wanda's role in the [[First Battle of Faq]] or the prediction that Wanda would someday gain an [[Arkentool]]. Wanda did mention the [[Summon Perfect Warlord Spell]] in passing after she interrogated [[Jillian]] at [[Gobwin Knob]], but Jillian still doesn't know many critical facts about [[Wanda]]'s relationship with [[Parson]].

While Wanda benefited during the [[Battle for Gobwin Knob]] from having secrets that Jillian didn't know, Jillian has secrets unknown to Wanda. Wanda probably did not know that Jillian had rebuilt [[Faq]] and become a [[King|Queen]], until she [[decrypted]] [[Ossomer]]. She still doesn't know that [[Jillian]]'s [[Royal]] [[Heir]] will [[pop]] fairly soon, or that [[Jillian]] has formed separate alliances with the [[Royal Crown Coalition]], the [[Western Giants]], and [[Charlie]].<noinclude>

Chief Warlord

Paper Golem: Fixed headers

[[Image:Warlord_montage.JPG|350px|right]]

The Chief Warlord is the military leader of all [[Unit]]s of his [[Ruler]]'s [[Side]], and is subordinate to that Ruler alone. It is a military position and pinnacle of the command structure. There is only one Chief Warlord per Side.

A Chief Warlord:
*commands all [[Unit]]s of his or her [[Side]], excepting only the [[Ruler]] who is the highest authority of the [[Side]] and can overrule the Chief Warlord's orders.
*knows whose [[turn]] it is.{{Erf|1|107}}
*can end his or her [[Side]]'s [[Turn]].{{Erf|1|116}}
*confers a Leadership Bonus to all [[Unit]]s in a [[City]] he or she occupies.{{Erf|1|040a}}
*confers a partial (30%) Leadership Bonus to all Units in the same Side{{blog|2009|09|summer-updates-033}}
*confers a halved (50%) Leadership Bonus to all Units in the same Hex.{{Erf|1|113}}
*confers a full (100%) Leadership Bonus to all Units in the same [[stack]].{{Erf|1|113}}
*can [[Claiming a City|claim a city]] for his or her [[Side]].{{Erf|1|78}}
*is subject to [[Duty]]. (See below.)
*can form [[Alliance]]s.{{Erf|1|121}}

A Chief Warlord cannot:
*set production for [[city|cities]].{{Erf|1|043a|Overlord sets production order for all cities.}}

==Duty==
[[Duty]], a [[Natural Thinkamancy]], has greatest effect on the Chief Warlord. This spell-like effect causes the Chief Warlord to use his or her initiative in the service of the Ruler. This also prevents the Chief Warlord from withholding information and prevents the Chief Warlord from conspiring against the Ruler, but as with all Thinkamancies, this is not a compulsion, so a Chief Warlord could betray the Ruler with a good enough reason. (See discussion page for arguments.)

==Known Chief Warlords==
Active or deceased ([[croaked]]) chief warlords:
* [[Prince Ansom]] to [[Jetstone]] and later [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Prince Ossomer]] to [[Jetstone]]
* [[Caesar Borgata]] to [[Transylvito]]
* [[Stanley the Plaid]] while in the service of [[King Saline IV]]
* [[Parson Gotti]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Manpower the Temporary]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[K.C.]] to [[Unaroyal]]

=Speculation=
It is implied that an [[Uncroaked]] unit cannot be a Chief Warlord. When [[Manpower]] is killed at the [[Battle of Warchalking]], [[Stanley]] sends [[Wanda]] to uncroak him, and also orders her to select another unit from the ranks to be promoted into his place. That replacement would have been unnecessary if it were possible for him to remain Chief Warlord in his Uncroaked state, or if another uncroaked warlord could peform the task. It is likely that this is because a Chief Warlord needs to have the upper-level brain functions lost during the uncroaking process. The Chief Warlord needs to give orders, not take them, and uncroaked are capable of only simple tasks, reasoning not included. Either that or the zombification reduces the Leadership bonus given by a Warlord to the point where it would have been better to promote a low level unit to Chief Warlord.

==Possible Previous Chief Warlords==
The following may have been Chief Warlords:
* [[Lady Phat-Singh]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Archduke Ferdinand]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Sir Leeroy Jenkins]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Ensign Toast]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]

Paper Golem: /* Duty */

=Duty=
We now have two cases of individuals with Duty defying the Natural Thinkamancy. Stanley is suggested to have betrayed King Saline: this is a weak one. Wanda betrays King Banhammer to Stanley: this is stronger. Wanda, as a Commander, is subject to Duty, though a lesser version than a Chief Warlord. But she arranges to have her side attacked, and even if she doesn't believe Stanley will win, it's still a betrayal. We also have a third attempt: Charlie tries to get Parson to abandon his side, turning to Charlescomm who will ally with RCC, making Parson a traitor. That means Duty is not an absolute. Maybe it takes more to get a Chief Warlord to betray the Ruler, but if Charlie thinks he can succeed without magic, then it must be at least theoretically possible. --[[User:Kreistor|Kreistor]] 01:22, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I disagree that Wanda necessarily betrayed FAQ. In chess I may make an unsound sacrifice. I don't see through all the combinations. It doesn't mean my move meant I was 'trying' to lose. A better comparison may be Poker, since, unlike chess, we have incomplete information. I may bid on my flush - bid high, and lose to a Royal Flush. It doesn't mean I betrayed my hand or was trying to lose. I made an error.
--waynemcdougall 28 June 2009

Might I add that an attempted coup was alluded to in Transylvito - attempted by a Royal Heir, no less. The same Heir was, more than likely (given Royal-ruled track records - See Jillian and Ansom) Chief Warlord, so this suggests either powerful incentive, above being a Ruler, or equally powerful Thinkamancy. That, or Don King is a very unlikable King (which doesn't seem to be the case).--Someone other then Paper Golem

I think all those counter examples are matters of loyalty, not duty. To my knowledge it's theoretically possible for anyone to roll a one on a loyalty check, and that disloyalty must necessitate disobedience and non-duty. I think duty is there more to contrast with obedience.

Consider the following example: A unit see a rock falling towards his ruler's head. The unit has no orders to warn the ruler. Doing nothing isn't disobedient, the unit can watch the ruler die without disobeying any orders. The unit may, however, be duty bound to warn the ruler, to think up orders for himself.--[[User:Paper Golem|Paper Golem]] 03:32, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

==The Uncroaked Warlords of GK==
Does someone have any evidence the four Uncroaked Warlords were ever "Chief" Warlords? They are described to Parson only as his "warlords", wiht no history, as far as I remember. Prop C enough evidence to assuage any reasonable doubt. --[[User:Kreistor|Kreistor]] 15:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

:No, you're right, it's at least as likely that Manpower was Chief Warlord the whole time and the rest died as his subordinates... well, there's his name, "the Temporary," which suggests a slot-in replacement, but no, there's really no proof any of the others were definitely Chief Warlords. "possible" or "likely" under Speculation is good enough. The argument for them all being Chief Walords depends on speculation of Stanley being a creature of habit, only promoting warlords instead of popping them (because that's how he did it, and look how he turned out) and then naming them Chief Warlord, riding them until they break, and replacing them. So yeah, plausible but unconfirmed. [[User:Commander I. Heartly Noah|Commander I. Heartly Noah]] June 29 2009

::Well, I don't limit to just Manpower. I would speculae that since losing a battlefield loses you corpses, lots of unnamed Warlords could have died and not been uncroaked. That was the big problem for Germany's loss of Kursk: they lost all of those tank hulls, while RUssia was able to repair an incredible number of their damaged tanks, and even get some Tigers going to use against the Germans. Same thing here: if you lose the battlefield, and Stnaley lost a lot of battlefields, you lose the corpses and the Warlords cannot be uncroaked. Yes, I agree that Stanley had a habit of replacing CHief Warlords, but no, assuming they were all uncroaked is a big leap.--[[Special:Contributions/70.54.95.45|70.54.95.45]] 02:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The two share a strong rapport. As a [[Caster]], Maggie was probably always aware of Sizemore's "Rock Star" status in the [[Magic Kingdom]]. However, they probably weren't all that close until they [[link]]ed to uncroak the [[Volcano]], and learned just how compatible they really were.

Some level of romantic involvement is implied, but not yet resolved as definitely present or absent.

Sizemore and Maggie have discovered that they can easily [[link]] up for casting spells together. This linkage not only boosts Sizemore's abilities, it is also very enjoyable.

'''Strengths:''' Knowledge, Curiosity, Kindness

'''Weaknesses:''' Assertiveness, Confidence, Effectiveness

Sizemore is (or was) apparently a "filthy rich rock star" in the [[Magic Kingdom]]; an interesting counterpoint to his lowly status under [[Stanley the Tool]].

==Plot==

Sizemore Rockwell is a [[Dirtamancer]] in the service of [[Stanley the Tool|Lord Stanley]]. He was outside of Gobwin Knob when [[King Saline IV]] was overthrown, so he is not a [[Garrison]] unit, but had little if any combat experience before the Battle of Gobwin Knob. His main duty as the story opens is to animate [[Crap Golems|crap golems]].
Since he seems quite competent as a Dirtamancer, it's possible he may have [[level]]ed before, as a result of using his [[Unit#Natural_Abilities|special abilities]] as a [[caster]] in non-combat situations. Earlier, he bored a large number of mining tunnels in the volcanic base of [[Gobwin Knob]], until he believed that the gems had been mined out. He had also, at some point, crafted multiple [[Soft Rock Golem]]s, [[Hard Rock Golem]]s, [[Acid Rock Golem]]s, and one [[Metal Golem]], and done a wide variety of construction jobs in the [[Magic Kingdom]].

His personality, in [[Gobwin Knob]], was that of a meek intellectual, though he may have been much more confident and assertive when dealing with his fellow [[Caster]]s in the [[Magic Kingdom]]. He has attempted to learn various types of magic, and has a basic theoretical understanding of magic in general, but has no practical ability at using any magics other than Dirtamancy. He enjoys visiting the [[Magic Kingdom]], and listening to the intellectual debates which occur there.

Soon after [[Parson]] is summoned, Sizemore teaches him some of the basics of the Erfworld [[magic|magic system]], and teaches him about several magic items, and about the [[Thinkamancy]] link. After Stanley leaves Gobwin Knob, Parson leaves him to modify the tunnels under [[Gobwin Knob]] along with his golems.
During the tunnel battle in [[Gobwin Knob]], Sizemore led the Gobwins and his Golems into battle, using traps and bombs to diminish the Jetstone forces swarming the tunnels. Eventually, he was cornered by [[Warlords]] [[Webinar]] and [[Dora]]. He killed both [[Warlords]] by healing an incapacitated Golem, which crushed them both. After killing the enemy commanders of the battle, Sizemore eliminated the remaining [[leadership]] and routed the tunnel invaders completely.

After the walls were pierced by the remaining RCC, Sizemore was linked with [[Maggie]] and [[Wanda Firebaugh]] to [[uncroak]] the volcano [[Gobwin Knob]] was built on. Upon successful eruption of the volcano, all of the [[RCC]] was destroyed, and Sizemore managed to also use the eruption to blast valuable gems to the surface of the mountain for recovery. He claims to have learned more about the [[Terrain Type|Terrain]] around Gobwin Knob in the few minutes he was linked than he had learned in his entire lifetime. According to [[Hippiemancer]] [[Janis]], Sizemore advanced two [[level]]s during the course of the Battle of Gobwin Knob.

Upon [[Stanley]]'s instructions, Sizemore then upgraded the city of [[Gobwin Knob]]. He temporarily [[link]]ed with [[Maggie]] in order to do this more efficiently. He is currently mining out the top layer of gems, and instructing [[Parson]] in the details of Erfworld [[magic]]. He's also been busy sending out parties of tunnel-capable units to search for feral [[Gobwin]]s in the tunnels underneath nearby mountain hexes. While Sizemore has located many [[Marbits]], he has yet to find a single [[Gobwin]].

During his most recent visits to the [[Magic Kingdom]], he has found that the political climate there is changing drastically, and that he is far less welcome than he used to be.

==Relationships==

===The [[Magic Kingdom]]===

For many [[turns]], Sizemore led a double life. In [[Gobwin Knob]], he spent long, boring hours digging tunnels and working in the crap pits for an [[Overlord]] who couldn't be bothered to remember his name. He received little respect or reward for his hard work. But when he had the opportunity to visit the Magic Kingdom, things were very different. In the Magic Kingdom, his magical talents were in great demand. Many people were so eager to hire him for work he found easy and interesting that he could easily acquire all the money he wanted and still charge rates well below what people were willing to pay. He was universally respected, found it extremely easy to make friends, and he had little difficulty finding people willing to teach him about all of the different types of magic. His mastery of dirt and stone made him a "filthy rich rock star".
For Sizemore, the [[Magic Kingdom]] was his sanctuary, a place where all of the irritations and indignities of everyday life in [[Gobwin Knob]] simply vanished. Until, that is, [[Parson]] had him blow up the [[Volcano]], and everything changed.

Sizemore's new found friendships with [[Parson]] and [[Maggie]] may be going a long way to make his life in [[Gobwin Knob]] more interesting and enjoyable. But the growing realization that [[Gobwin Knob]] may actually have the power to conquer [[Erfworld]] is driving a wedge between Sizemore and all of his former friends in the [[Magic Kingdom]], with the exception of [[Janis]]. Sizemore suddenly belongs to a [[side]] whose vaulting ambitions and radical tactics are increasingly abhorrent to the [[caster]]s in the [[Magic Kingdom]]. And this growing division threatens to destroy not only the entire network of friendships Sizemore has created, but the tradition of political neutrality which the [[Magic Kingdom]] has always maintained in the past.

==Speculation==

Sizemore has a theoretical knowledge of many types of magic, but currently lacks the practical ability to effectively use any magic besides Dirtamancy, though he has been seen to use a Shockmancy scroll on one occasion. He may gain the ability to use more types of magic in the future, either because of his own advancement to a higher level, or because of his ability to link closely with Maggie. According to [[Hippiemancer]] [[Janis]], Sizemore had advanced two levels during the course of the Battle of Gobwin Knob.
There are some signs that Sizemore may be becoming more assertive, confident and effective.

==Real World References==

Sizemore's name is derived from the stage names of two members of the band [http://superbigcool.com/assrockers/ Assrockers]: Durt Sizemore and Riff Rockwell.{{WoT|1646581}}

It is also worth noting that one of the earliest [http://www.freepatentsonline.com/1449702.html/ patents] for a shovel design was given to James B. Sizemore.

Stats

2009-11-20T00:46:32Z

Paper Golem: /* Possible Stats */ Weight

=Proposed Canon=
A unit's stats(also called statistics or points) are a set of whole numbers that describe it's abilities. Each unit has five knowable stats and at least two hidden stats. It is unknown if units with special abilities may also have additional stats.

==Visible Stats==
These can be seen by every [[Commander]] naturally{{Erf|1|040a}}.

'''''[[Move]]''''':
A measure of a [[unit]]'s ability to travel across the hex grid. Units have their move reset to its full value at the beginning of their side's turn; unused move reverts to zero at the end of the turn.

'''''[[Hits]]''''':
A measure of the amount of damage the [[unit]] can sustain before it is croaked. Units regain all lost hits at the beginning of their [[side]]'s [[turn]].

'''''[[Combat_(stat)|Combat]]''''':
Not explicitly described; apparently a measure of the [[unit]]'s ability to inflict damage. (It is transcribed as "Attack" in one of Parson's Klog entries.)

'''''[[Defense]]''''':
Not explicitly described; apparently a measure of the [[unit]]'s ability to minimize or avoid damage from an attack.

==Knowable==
These can be known, but are not instantly known by all and make take some reasoning.

'''''[[Level]]''''':
A measure of a [[Unit]]'s relative power vs. other Units of the same type. [[Level]] is a statistic that increases, thanks to [[Experience]] gains. As Level increases, new abilities may become available.

'''''[[Upkeep]]''''':
Upkeep is a cost paid by [[Ruler]]s to maintain [[Unit]]s.{{erf|1|039}} Certain units, such as [[Decrypted]], have no upkeep.{{erf|1|145}} Upkeep has not been described as a stat, but it is a value that all Units have, even if zero.

==Unknowable==
'''''[[Loyalty]]''''':
Although the result of [[Natural Thinkamancy]], Loyalty is expressed as a unit statistic. However, the value any unit has is unknown. That value can be altered by [[Thinkamancy]] such as a [[Suggestion Spell]]. It is probable that loyalty is subjective and is different if different sides are involved.

'''''[[Experience]]''''':
Experience is a statistic theorized to exist that explains why units level. A measure of the amount of combat a [[Unit]] has participated in. This statistic increases as the Unit [[Croaking|croaks]] enemies. The value of this statistic is hidden from other units and even from the Unit itself.

=Speculation=

==Possible Stats==
It is possible that [[Unit]]s have other non-visible stats or stats that are only relevant with certain special abilities.

'''''[[Leadership]]''''':
A [[Warlord]] unit may have a leadership stat that determines what bonus they provide, or the bonus may be a function of level.

'''''[[Magic]]''''':
All [[Caster]]s of the same discipline and may not be equal. For instance [[Wanda]] is said to be better outside of her discipline than [[Sizemore]].{{erf|1|013}}

'''''[[Juice]]''''':
How many spells a Caster can throw in a Turn without resorting to [[Scroll]]s.

'''''Intelligence''''':
Obviously not everyone has equal mental abilities. It's also possible that people's mental abilities are more quantifiable on ErfWorld than Earth.

'''''[[Luckamancy|Luck]]''''':
Random events may be biased in favor if those with higher luck stats.

'''''Weight''''':
Resitance to force and gavitational pull. The only implications we've seen are the ability the mount.

'''''[[Fate]]''''':
Some Units may have a greater propensity for attaining certain specific goals. [[Wanda]]'s Fate score might be very high.

'''''Sovereignty''''':
Some Rulers may have a greater degree of control over what sort of units their sides produce than others. [[Royal]]s may have an advantage over [[Overlord]]s here.

'''''Immortality''''':
If the Titan's do allow some Units to have a life after death in the [[City of Heroes]], there must be a Stat which measures how much progress a Unit has made towards being admitted to the City. One of the other stats, like Level or Experience, might be used to determine this, but it may have a separate stat, if winning isn't everything. Some Units, like [[Wrigley]], never achieve level or experience, but still hope for immortality.

=Proposed Canon=
Since there is no pregnancy and there are no babies in [[Erfworld]], [[heir]]s are [[pop|popped]], and [[Nookie]] has no bearing on [[pop|popping]]{{WoT|4047518}}; the practical purpose of nookie on Erfworld is unclear, though it seems to be otherwise similar to that of our world. According to [[Parson Gotti|Parson]]'s discussion with [[Maggie]], it would seem that the technical act and, erm, "Tools" involved are much the same.

==Known Nookie Pairings==
*[[Jillian Zamussels]] and [[Prince Ansom]]
*Jillian Zamussels and [[Vinny Doombats]]
*Wanda Firebaugh and [[Stanley the Tool]]

=Speculation=
While [[Nookie]] serves no biological functions, it may be considered to serve social functions like with [[Wikipedia:Bonobo#Sexual_social_behavior|bonobos]].

*Vinny Doombats and [[Jaclyn]], two other [[Archon]]s
*Archons and unknown clients

ErfWiki:Wiki Organization

2009-11-19T23:57:03Z

Paper Golem: Completly restructured page to reflect changes/improvements to the page over the past several months.

==Current Organization==
Currently page are sorted into one of 81 [[Special:Categories|Categories]]. Of those 16 are not subcategories (see [[Special:UncategorizedCategories]]).

The wiki is organized according to a Tree System with the main page as a root. Each page about something general has links to things more specific. i.e. Main page -> mechanics -> magic -> thinkamancy -> thinkagram. We us redundant trees to organize by multiple paradigms.

==Goals==
*Without knowing the wiki's contents well, it should be easy to get a sense of what's here.
**There should be an intuitive path from the main page to most of the contents, without being specifically aware of the contents already.
*Categories should be categorized. Each [[Special:Categories|Category]] should have a browsable number of pages and sub-categories
*Pages should not have redundant categories. For instance is some thing is a [[stat]] and a mechanic, it only needs to be included in the [[:Category:Stats|stat category]]; because that category itself is within mechanics and implies it's members are to.

==Paradigms==
These are the paradigms in use to organize the wiki. With each paradigm is a short list of example categories to provide an idea of how the paradigm characterizes the pages.

===Subject based===

* [[:Category:Wiki]] (Containing page about the maintenance, improvement, and structure of this wiki)
* [[:Category:Comic]] (containing actual comic pages, comic structure, and creator bios)
* [[:Category:Erfworld Mechanics]] (purporting to encapsulate anything that covers the "physics" of Erfworld)
* [[:Category:Erfworld Culture]] (an umbrella under which the social and cultural dynamics of Erfworld live)
* [[:Category:History of Erfworld]] (potential home for battle analysis and events pages/cats]]
* [[:Category:Fanon]] (Listed twice because it's subjects seem to be kept separate from other origins' subjects)

Sword of Ruthlessness

2009-11-19T22:58:26Z

Paper Golem:

==Proposed Canon==
[[Parson]] received a sword in three consecutive [[Stupid Meal|Stupid Meals]] starting on his third day in Gobwin Knob. He received the hilt first{{erf|1|077a}}, the forte (blade near the hilt) second{{erf|1|086}}, and the foible (blade away from the hilt) last{{erf|1|106}}.

The sword is described as conveying [[Leadership]], [[Combat]], and Ruthlessness.{{erf|1|106}}

Parson destroyed his sword by tossing it into a lake of molten lava at the conclusion of book 1.

==Speculation==
It is not known how real or magical the powers of the weapon are. It certainly acts as a killing weapon{{erf|1|133}}, but it gives no overt signs of exceptional magical auras or ability. Parson's eyes glow red{{erf|1|106}} upon first receiving the completed blade, but what that actually means is left to the reader, one interpretation being that at that moment, the Ruthlessness was conveyed to him. Since Parson's leadership bonus existed before he got the sword, it is reasonable to believe that his unit leadership ability is not reliant on the sword's magic, but is possibly amplified by it.

When Parson throws the sword into the lava{{Erf|1|150}}, as the sword melts, there is what looks like a stream of energy leaving it, similar to the sparkles seen when spells are cast.

Mathamancy Bracer

2009-11-19T22:57:31Z

Paper Golem:

[[File:Bracer.JPG|250px|right]]

=Proposed Canon=

The Mathamancy Bracer is a [[Magic Item]]. It is worn on the forearm, covering the upper part from elbow to wrist. Two straps hold it to the arm. The upper portion is similar to hard plastic and includes a spot where Parson's calculator watch can snap in.{{erf|1|054}} The watch is vital to its function: without the watch, the bracer does nothing.

The bracer instantly and effortlessly does raw calculations necessary to analyze probabilities and predict outcomes of battles - that is, [[Mathamancy]].{{erf|1|054}}

=Speculation=

[[Sizemore Rockwell]] hypothesizes that it may be an [[Artifact]]{{erf|1|054}}. A broad estimate of the value is around 500000 Shmuckers to the right buyer (a [[Side]] reliant on [[Mathamancy]]), the very value of the [[Summon Perfect Warlord Spell|Summoning Spell]] including the casting and support package. Given that the Spell that created the Bracer was created by the residents of the [[Magic Kingdom]], whether the Bracer qualifies by the strict letter of the definition of Artifact depends on the inner workings of the spell itself, something which we have not yet been made privy.

The effects of the bracer, when combined with Parson's calculator watch, effectively turns its user into a [[Mathamancer]].

==Predictions about future==

Parson's [[Mathamancy]] Bracer also seems capable of making sophisticated predictions about the future{{blog|2009|10|summer-updates-039}}, so the Bracer may have [[Predictamancy]] abilities as well. (Or it is just really, Really powerful [[Mathamancy]].)
:This is less [[predictamancy]] (foretelling a specific future event) and more extremely advanced [[mathamancy]] in the vein of oddsmaking/handicapping, though it certainly manages to calculate influences seemingly out of the mortal purview.
::Possibility: [[Mathamancy]] handles combat probabilities, while [[Predictamancy]] handles plot events.

This definitely pushes the Bracer into [[Artifact]] category. It is essentially a Do-It-Yourself-instant-[[Mathamancer]]/[[Predictamancer]]. I don't think mere mortals have the power to do something like that. (At least as cost-effectively.)

Natural Allies

2009-11-19T22:48:11Z

Paper Golem: /* Racial Hatred */ Typo

=Proposed Canon=

Natural allies (or non-capital sides) are [[side]]s in [[Erfworld]] that have no capital, no cities and no royals.{{erf|1|079a| Parson's Klog #9}} They do, however, have their own treasuries and can form long semi-permanent [[alliance]]s, or they can sustain themselves via mining, farming, hunting, and such. Rather than using cities, they can pop more units for their side via [[Moneymancy]] {{WoT|6051503}}.

==Known natural allies sides:==

* [[Hobgobwins]] ([[Gobwin Knob]])
* [[Gobwins]] (formerly [[Gobwin Knob]])
* [[Marbits]] ([[Jetstone]])
* [[Elves|Elf]] Brands (unspecified member or members of the [[Royal Crown Coalition]])
* [[Witches]] ([[Dagwood]])
* [[Daemons]]
* [[Western Giants]] (formerly [[Jitterati]], now [[Faq]])

=Speculation=

Since natural allies can break alliance (such as between [[Jitterati]] and [[Faq]] or the [[gobwin]]s betrayal of [[King Saline IV]]), there must be additional benefits to having natural allies (as opposed to using ones own units). Otherwise, their less-than-perfect reliability becomes a major liability. Such benefits might include:
* Access to natural [[moneymancy]]. Since natural allies pop via moneymancy instead of requiring a city's production, a side can convert smuckers directly into units without a Moneymancer. [[Stanley]] did this when he repopulated the [[hobgobwins]] from a single member of [[KISS]]. This is useful both for sides that need units NOW and for those seeking to spend excess smuckers.
* Access to special unit abilities. Since it is known that not all cities can pop all unit types (and it is utterly unknown how those units are determined or how they can be changed), natural allies may be the only way for certain sides to have access to units with particular abilities such as tunnel-fighting ([[Gobwins]] and [[marbits]] for [[Gobwin Knob]] and [[Jetstone]] respectively), mountain-capability ([[Western Giants]] for [[Jitterati]]/[[Faq]]), or various flavors of natural casting abilities (Presumably [[witches]] and some forms of [[elf]].)
* Improved stats. It is possible that most natural allies are innately superior fighters than [[men]] at similar costs.
* Reduced [[Upkeep]]. It is unclear if a capital side is required to pay the upkeep for their natural allies units, or perhaps if natural allies have reduced upkeep costs.

==Racial Hatred==

Some allies do not ally with a side at the same time as other allies; though it is unspecified if this means that they are ''unwilling'' to do so, or if they ''incapable'' of doing so.

For instance; Elves and Marbits will not ally with a side that has Gobwin, Hobgobwin, Witch, or Daemon allies.
