A forum where you can talk about SFFMW, ask questions about the comic, post fanstuff, and anything else (within reason, of course).

I hereby register a complaint about this ruling, based on the nature of borrowing; Granny still has her mind, while Hawking has only
1/2 Body
In fact, Granny could well take his body until she finds a better one.

You never specified that you took his body over, neither in this thread nor via PM, therefore your argument is null. From an outsider's perspective, your last ditch effort did not preserve your own mind, just destroyed his. Furthermore, you would still die from the lack of oxygen and the pressure difference of being in space, even had you taken over his body.

Next time don't tell me that I should start my judging if you are not ready to be judged, Mr. Sore Loser.

I stand by my decision.

Okay, ordinarily, I'd let it stand there; in fact, I don't even care about whether or not I win this; I will officially concede defeat. However, there are several things you said here that could have been better thought out:

1) You're right, I never said she'd taken it over; I just said she could.
2) No-one's in space; Granny and the arena have just been crushed by gravity.
3) I figured you'd know this, but I guess you haven't read enough of the Discword series to; Granny's mind can exist independently of her body; In fact, when she was killed by vamipires in Carpe Jugulum, she was able to circumvent death in this manner.

PS: I'd reccomend locking this topic in the near future.
