Ok, it sounds like Analog and D-Pad would be staking out this shared warehouse rather than a games store?
I like that plan. Still more responsible than making Thad’s store a target, and gives them a bit of distance from their civilian identities. And it’ll hopefully mean less risk of civilians being caught up in the crossfire too.
I still think not running this by Ben is a bad idea, but apart from that it seems good. Touchwood.
True, the *real* plan probably isn’t a shared warehouse (I forgot Ethan is attempting to trick Thad here)… but the way I’m reading it, Lucas’ plan was to plant the idea of putting the stock in a secret warehouse into Thad’s head.
Then they just stake that warehouse out.
Not only is it stupid, but a suspicious person could start linking Ethan with these attacks

Nice reverse psychology on Ethan’s part, using their cold-blooded rivalry of one another to try to scare Thad into going with the plan. Guess we’ll see on Friday whether it works or not.

Well played, tho im still not sure what the actual plan here is. Could be a few things, im guessing making Thad move his stuff but prob not to a warehouse, something similar but not Ethans idea? Either way ill see within a few days i assume.

I hate to be on Thad’s side, but… he’s right to refuse? Even if he wanted, I don’t think he’d be allowed to move or hide his stock anywhere without the corporate’s approval, and even then, it should be their responsibility, not his
Despite Ethan’s negative stance, he *is* standing there to offer a possible solution to them possibly being murdered and their stock burned. If you offer your nemesis a chance to join up to weather a storm, while painting a vivid picture of what happens if they don’t, it seems hard to see it as malice.
People also aren’t allowed to give money away. Yet if someone comes over to rob you, you give it to them. It is often even company policy. People shouldn’t be in danger for minor cash money that in most cases is insured. Thad is in potential danger and an action for his and his employees safety is probably sanctioned.

He’s got a red shirt so of course he’s going to die.

Are people still getting upset over video games and blaming them for violence?
It feels like this is a decade old culture war, which has been replaced by immigrants and trans people by the fear mongers…

And yet two comic strips ago…
“… but it relies on your ability to trick Thad into doing something we want him to, just to try and spite you.”
It seems Analog and D-Pad wants to ENSURE Thad’s store is a target, by suggesting the exact opposite.
really either way works! i bet patrons would have insider info on this.. feels like a choose your adventure story!
It’s not a choose your own adventure story, Patrons have no influence on this one.

We’ll see how the story unfolds 🙂
They want Game Haven to be bait, and will rescue Thad’s undeserving hide from the murderer.
i think Thad REALLY believes that last statement. and hes right! it is stupid!
It’s only partially true. Yes, it is a stupid idea, but we are talking about Ethan. This is far from the stupidEST idea he had.

I’d be calling the police. Ethan is doing everything but make direct threats
