Crazy theory regarding Kin. (spoilers inside)

[Guboj]

Ok, ever since psymax's intentions about the maze of many were made evident, i've had a theory about the current race. There's only one way to twarth his attempt to throw everyone into oblivion, and it may be the only way to save Kin's tail (and possibly her life). Reality 156 is going to make psymax win the current race, thus reseting everything (except Forgath's beard, that got thrown into an oblivion hole). It would be too bad, since minmax would probably lose it's sweet sword and armor, but I think Kin's tail and the continued existence of every other reality currently in the maze is worth it. What do you guys think?

Hmm... Well.. Throw FMK's counter into an oblivion holw with it and I'm game... but.... Thunt have not.. not today that is, made a "resurection" and i don't think we will see one...

oh.. and MM's sword is oblivion made a weapon... surely it wont reset.....

I think they'll find a really good artificer (Artimax, anyone?) in one of the alternate realities, and figure out how Psimax remembered each run, then convince him to make her a new Warforged-style tail using parts scavanged from the maze and such (all this after killing every alt group except the artie and an unconscious Psimax) and THEN toss Psimax into the winner's circle. With the arty's and their counters broken, the two groups will cooperate to get FMK out, leaving the Arty alt group to level up and exit at their leisure.


(OK, so tossing Psimax in the winner's circle will reset her tail, but it was a decent idea...heh)

[Moroser]

I suppose the whole maze is too messed up by all the oblivion holes, so it can't be reset (properly) any more. LooksAtYouFunny has also pointed out the "no resurrection" rule in GC.

[Insane Kitty]

If she is still alive, she will tell them to go on without her. Knowing that if PsiMax gets his way, they won't have another chance and losing her, is better then losing everyone. (to her way of thinking)

[FleesFromTrees]

Might it be an idea to change the title of this, as it's a bit of a spoiler to anyone who hasn't read the current comic yet stumbling by on the forums

[Zwums]

Minmax somehow gets up to them and trashes Psimax with oblivious and Forgath's help. Psimax escapes and Minmax and kin "see" one another. Forgath and MM escape while PM destroys the maze, including Kin. MM, devastated, steps into the circle at the last second. As he re-enters our realm, Kin has never existed, and MM forgets all traces of her.

My theory.

It's something Thunt would do, I think... I just hope he won't...

Yeah, gotta agree that goes more with what we know THunt normally does. My theory is just the little bit of hope i have left to see kin and MM together. A man can only hope. Additionally, thanks to the admins that changed the topic, forgot to put the spoiler warning there.

Hmm... Well.. Throw FMK's counter into an oblivion holw with it and I'm game... but.... Thunt have not.. not today that is, made a "resurection" and i don't think we will see one...

The sword wouldn't reset, but MM's memory would, and without it he cant bring back oblivious. This is all just wishful thinking, since like someone else already said in this post, it's not THunt's style to wipe everything that has happened and make it all okay for the romantic readers (like myself).

[Sockmonkey]

I said this before when Chief died: The only way nowadays to make people feel like the characters are actually in peril is to be willing to kill them. It was made clear with Chief, Biscuit, and Klik. No plot shields just because we like someone.

[WastesTime]

The maze is definitely not gonna reset. Thunt has shown us bits of this run of the Maze and stated that they've already lost 2 million times so as to add humor, but also credibility (them winning on the first run was unlikely). I think, this is their final run through the Maze. (also: would be nice to finally see some goblins in the comic called GOBLINS )

[Insane Kitty]

Either that, or Kin will ask them to put what is left of her tail in the oblivion hole, that way she will never remember having one, or the loss of it.

Oh.. THAT'S a cool theory.... love it...

I wanted to find out what happened to the GAP, but not like this! Not Like This!

[Free Radical]

There's only one way to twarth his attempt to throw everyone into oblivion, and it may be the only way to save Kin's tail (and possibly her life).

I've mentioned this possibility a few times as well, and I also thought seeing Kin's tail be exploded was a big boost for the idea.

Thunt have not.. not today that is, made a "resurection" and i don't think we will see one...

He has already resurrected the entire group nearly two million times. It's the whole set-up for the maze of many. Psimax has outright stated that he knows this group purposely reset themselves if one of them dies. They have access to easy resurrection here so they would be idiots not to continue to take advantage of it. Thunt has made his setting in general unfriendly to resurrecting characters, but when the characters have access to it like they do here they're not going to turn it down just because "Thunt doesn't do it that way".

The way the maze is set up, if the maze isn't in danger of being oblivioned they will automatically win eventually. Psimax has outright stated that they reset themselves if one of them die, so they'll eventually win with all three alive. If they get Psimax through the exit, the very next page can show them exiting the maze of many after ten million runs. We don't need to see them run the maze again - the climax is defeating Psimax, preventing the maze from being oblivioned and ensuring their eventual victory.

Actually, he did.
Implicitly.
PsiMax's reality has sustained 817 deaths, and all of them were unmade (by MoM-resets), yet remembered.
Our reality has sustained several deaths, as PsiMax tells us. All of them were unmade (and unremembered).

The same is Guboj's proposal: our Minmax, Kin and Forgath will "reset" in the maze.
But then, why do we get told this run of the MoM?
This would only make sense, if our group can remember the run.

Plus, would the MoM be able to "reset" the sword Oblivious? Since Oblivious could only be manipulated by Minmax, the maze cannot manipulate the sword.

[mertol]

And yet the floor of the maze stops the sword.

[Jon Snow]

Thunt wouldn't reset it. He doesn't seem to me as one of those "It was all a dream" writers.

Remember, Thunt has said that every battle something of consequence happens.

[LurksQuietly]

There is a very clear reason why the maze can't reset this time: the process of creating oblivion has begun.

The major difference between this run and the previous 817 times that PsiMax has been through the maze are that he had not previously tried to obliviate the maze. The maze is now irreparably broken, and (while there is no proof of this yet) I highly doubt that it will work to reset it again.

No easy outs on this one...

[Gherkin]

What if their counter has been swallowed by an oblivion hole. Would they regain their memory on reset? Would they regain all their memories from every run?

I don't see a reset happening but it would be fun.

[BuildsLegos]

There's certainly no promise of a reset, but an oblivioned counter in the next round (fallowed by a montage) is the only way for us reading this round to make sense, which in turn is the only way to save Kin's tail.

[kida]

I don't think oblivioned counter will help them regain memory. As you recall, oblivion holes doesn't reverse what happened, and the counter already erased their memory

[BuildsLegos]

Which counter erased whose memory? It's Psimax who destroyed his own counter; our thinking is if there's no counter for our FMK, it can't hide their memories and they'll remember everything just the same. Of course, it'd be best if Minimax keeps his promise of double-death by throwing a dead Psimax into an O-hole first. This theory also requires to O-holes to be unaffected by resets, which is apart of the optimism.
