Line 112:
* I don't see how Jade turned Jack into a [[Game Breaking Bug]]. From what I could see everything she did was within the game's rules.
** She (inadvertently) supplied Jack with a weapon (the [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003861 Bunny]) that was strong enough to allow him to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922010523/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003568 kill the Black Queen], take her ring, and just generally screw thing up. It was within the "rules" (what little rules Sburb has), but it seems fairly obvious that Jack wasn't supposed to be able to do that.
*** But both time travel and psychic powers don't seem to bother the game, it even seems to encourage those, so the Bunny came about normally. And there is nothing to show that any of the characters going crazy and killing the Queen is out of the ordinary, there are no other games besides the Trolls to confirm that. And to get really technical, Jack is still winning it for the evil team, just in an incredibly violent roundabout way.
*** It IS out of the ordinary. Jack Noir is a game mechanic that provides the players with a way to get at the Black Queen and take her out of the way early on, but since HE gets the ring in the kids session, his ambition, which normally is a good thing for the players, is turned against them. Basically, Jack is "programmed" to be ambitious, and giving him too much power has derailed the game from its intended path. It's pretty obvious too, now that he's gone and killed the two "final bosses" the kids would've had to fight.
Line 406:
* So, what possible point does John have in his favor as the leader of the original human team? While they may all respect him as leader, his powers are nowhere NEAR theirs. Control over the wind doesn't really help beat a power control over Luck, Time and SPACE. Also, while he may have a small weapon advantage by wielding the Warhammer of Zillyhoo, it doesn't really make up for the fact that he got killed so quickly by Jack and the others have ways of either predicting their opponents attacks, having multiple selves fight or controlling the physical space about them. Manipulation of an element is powerful, but his original God Tier has become obsolete.
** John's [
** That, and doesn't John's heir of breath powers make him essentially invisible to Bec Noir's nose?
** John is the leader because the rest of the kids say so and Sburb has set him up for it. The Kids don't exactly have a reason to betray a good friend of theirs because he's weaker.
