#CodeZeta liveblogs

[krixwell-liveblogs]

UNfortuantely Quow's liveblog of Pact and and CodeZeta's liveblog, the only other liveblog of pact that I'm aware of, both stopped without much warning.

That’s a shame. Though I did take a superficial look at Quow’s blog before adding them to the Other Blogs page, and judging by a post made less than a week ago, they do want to get back into it.

...and looking at the blog now, it seems they did! They did a session two days ago!

Love re-reading to see those little touches, like WB making sure you remember that minor capes like Circus, just so he can bring them back later when and if he needs to, knowing the reader has enough background to draw lines. A fun little exercise, trying to come up with powers based on name and descriptions of capes you have yet to see in action! WB as a writer with a degree likes his wordplay a LOT. Arc names are a big one for him, as he likes to fit every chapter in it to the Arc-name theme

I do like to imagine what an arc may be about based on the arc title. Usually it’s a swing and miss, yep. Trying to guess a cape’s power from their name is a bit easier, and the last time I tried to do that was with the Slaughterhouse Nine since most of them didn’t have a power associated to them, so...yeah, time will tell how accurate I was with them!

I doubt I got more than two or three right, hah.

codezeta-liveblog also said: You've also already picked up on something you might have not even have realized: The first chapter of the Arc is the pillar that holds the entire arc together, unless its one of the "I'm going to come back here and do some cleaning" arcs, like 10 was for the unnecessary-ness of the invasion with all members, in retrospect it was such a dumb plan and the same situations could have been made without it, and only a couple others much later on

Now that you mention it...yes, you’re right. So far, in most of the arcs the first chapter does shape the rest to some extent. It’s not a guarantee, but it’d indeed give an idea of what’s there to come.
