This description is missing an implementation layer. The king can decide what's ethical, but he needs the priesthood to sell it to the masses. Ultimately the power is a balance between the "definers" as described, and the people who actually build the reward system to the definers' specifications. At the limit described in the last panel, for example, nothing stops the priesthood from assassinating the royal family. You have to keep them happy, and that means the two groups can be set to watching each other.

I can't remember the name of it, but I read a sci-fi book a few years ago that had the idea of "life as a video game" for all of a future society. It was ok, especially at first, but I remember it kind of devolved.

Un-scrollercausted the thread by wrapping each comic in its own personal spoiler tag.

So, rather than say "hey guys, you should check out this comic" and link to the author's website (which will then make them money from ad impressions and possible clicks), you hotlink the images?

And then, since they're tall comics, you make this thread a scrollercaust instead of putting them behind spoiler tags?

Fuck.

Vana, you act like he is doing something different that he has been doing the last 15 years.

He's just being worse about it lately, and it's finally getting annoying.

My favorite is in the Current Events & Politics section when he just posts a link to an article/video. :skewl:

Is it me, or are we just looking for reasons to hate on each other now?

No reason to hate on Worthy! I like seeing what he posts next.

I've come to accept Worthy and his idiosyncracies. I am still adjusting to the new emo Tranthas, however.

Eat a dick, Neesha.

Van, Worthy has linked the images directly before. Why is it an issue now?

To be fair, you have been pretty bad in the last few weeks.
