Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #24 Post by: macavity on July 27, 2022, 06:27:51 am Love the series, just wish I could still decrypt the commands. I coped with the symbolsand the various caesar ciphers but lost it at #21, recovered briefly at #22 and have now lost it again. It might be a simple cipher but I guess you need to at least know what sort it is.... (pause for theatrical sigh) ???
Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #24 Post by: hereno on July 27, 2022, 11:46:40 am Oh my. This one pushed a lot of buttons.
THK has always leaned harder than any other series here into power fantasy; Daffyd doesn't just want lots of sex, he wants territory. Something I think is undervalued across MC fiction. This issue is directly driving in that direction. That also makes THK the most plot-dense of the MCC lines, which occasionally makes for an issue without much sex/MC. This issue, though, was sort of a pause in the direct plot to just have more fun with the sex/MC side of things. Which is basically the payoff for all the plot! So yeah. This was good stuff right here. (Also, prediction: the final issue of this series will have Daffyd as the Emperor on the cover.) Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #24 Post by: hereno on July 27, 2022, 03:27:26 pm Ah, small thing, but I just noticed Bethany and Nikki don't seem to have their brands in page 9/12. Not a big deal... but the brands are hot. I like that he's marking his women.

This issue is directly driving in that direction. 'Everything Is About Sex Except Sex. Sex Is About Power' Oscar Wilde - maybe....

Come on, that translates to 5 years give or take :P
To my credit, I tried Vigenere cypher, Beaufort, Autoclave, Vernam, things I never knew existed, and it's all gibberish. Not like we haven't made an effort :P Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #24 Post by: Dr. White on July 29, 2022, 10:54:01 pm Yeah, I liked when I could read the 'magic words'.
(I miss those days) Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #24 Post by: hereno on July 29, 2022, 11:30:56 pm Daffyd's skills have grown beyond our comprehension.

Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #24 Post by: Vidor on August 24, 2022, 11:54:30 am I don't guess this series will ever end, but if it did, it would be hilarious if it ended with Janice's husband murdering Daffyd in a jealous rage. And who knows, maybe inheriting all of his slaves with the murder in some magical transformation property.
