I know i shouldn’t think about this too much, being that a wizard did it and all, but if the gravity is at a 45 degree angle to the ground, wouldn’t everything eventually slide fall in the direction of the slope, causing it to be normal gravity? Or is an infinite plane, so everything is tumbling forever?
Perhaps the ground is horizontal, but gravity at 45 degrees makes it seem like a slope. That’s my interpretation, anyway.
Hell is full of fallin’ angles?
I think it would be fair to say that the normal rules of physics don’t apply on many other planes, especially the afterlife ones. They barely apply in the Stickverse as it is, given narrativium and the odd fourth-wall breakage.
Everything can’t pile up at the bottom, because there is no bottom. Loss of material due to erosion is replaced by eroded material falling in from higher up.
Ooh! Topical!
Wow, the Cobalt Elder almost single-handedly defeated all of the vampires, there.
Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
You know, I’m normally pretty lenient of character decisions, but this strip really strained plausibility for me.
Are you seriously expecting me to believe that the chair doesn’t realize a motion to bring business before an assembly is not interruptible and requires a call for a second with a majority vote prior to bringing Clan Whiterock’s separate motion for investigation before the council? Yeah. Right. Just took me right out of the story.
Do you really expect a humorous comic strip to follow Robert’s Rules of Order to a T when violating them provides a joke?
Who’s Robert?

I am enjoying reading the GITP forums, and trying to see which of the posters will run afoul of the no real life politics rule, and just how close to the line many will walk.
The whole situation with the Elders does sound really silly. As a few of the posters there said, “Don’t Dwarves get a bonus to wisdom, especially elderly ones?”
Yeah, it strains credibility to the point where I didn’t really find it amusing but whatever. Onward to the next strip, I guess.
I’m hoping the next strip will have more context as to why they’re being such idiots.
And the political parallels are so on-the-nose it hurts.

A reminder that while our rules here concerning politics aren’t as strict as they are on GiantITP, we should still avoid getting too deep into the real-world parallels.
Well, how did HE vote on the question of whether to destroy the world?
And don’t tell me he’s from a different pantheon, or I’ll counter with an objection that the dwarves don’t have any business holding themselves accountable to follow his rules.
BTW, it seems to me that the impromptu Thundershield clan has enough members there to take one for the team, so to speak, and knock the Dominated elders out so that they can be restored with the Song of Freedom (or, if the Song of Freedom can’t be played within the Chamber, then regrettably knifed). Their petrification would be cancelled out when the meeting was adjourned, no?
Or just, you know, drag them outside of the chamber. The Godsmoot wards prevented that, but I don’t think anyone said anything about the Council wards doing the same.
Or just leave them in place unconscious, and let them count as abstaining in the vote.
Does the paliamentarian get a vote? Maybe he just skipped the Godsmoot because they kept violating the rules he made up.
