But they're interested in the continued existence of the world, no?
Dunno. They're not threatened at all - Hel explicitly is basing her plan on the afterlives being safe-, and nobody not named Rich Burlew has more than the faintest clue what their plan is.

Unless Rich has something else planned and I'm talking out of my arse, which is also a possibility.

it seems implied that Hal has a deal/relationship with demigods to tip the balance of the vote, but more than half of them? Result is not yet given, so the whole gambit could fail on its own as well. Which would be anticlimatic as hell, but not unprecedented

Rich Burlew is selling the OOTS books in PDF form! 2 of them are up new at https://gumroad.com/richburlew#, Dungeon Crawling Fools and On the Origin of PCs.   

I have the physical books but am definitely getting the digital copies. Much easier to carry around than the physical ones.

Ye know, being an usurper overseer gone mad with power isn't too bad. It's honestly not that different from being a normal overseer.
To summarize:
They do an epic face. If that fails, they beat said object to death with their beard.

The sword glows when he is angry, and anyway Belkar does have a psionic dagger that could distract Durkula for just enough so Roy can beat him.

Giving waitlisted people the ability to murder non-responsive players was a great idea. Need to do that more often.

It's a little odd, I'd expect the Norse demigods to mostly follow Loki.  Since a lot of them are probably the monsters he's famous for siring.  He might be feigning defeat for now...  I don't think so though.

To be fair, if Loki was your dad/mom (dat sexy shapeshifting), would you really be that supportive of him?

If that's the case, Fenrir is their man. Seeing as he's the God of Monsters for them. Soo ah... Yeah. Piss on the graves!

Maybe Sleipnir at least would be on the good guy's side maybe?  Being Odin's horse and Loki being his uh.... Mom.... and all.  But that really depends on what exactly qualifies a demigod.  Is it just minor gods like Valkyries?  Half gods like Hercules or Perseus?(I can't think of any Norse half gods, outside of the results of Loki's My Little Pony Adventures.)

Though it's probably moot, the 'if any bothered to show up' bit seems to indicate that they are usually no-shows.  Consitering everything that has happened, I'm betting some DID show up, and the ones that did were all convinced by Hel to do so.

I expect the plan is Bull Rush, but we'll see.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Damn, I was idly hoping that comic 1000 would have the vote of the gods going for destroy and the comic ending at such an auspicious number. Oh well.

A dash of Heroic Willpower from Durkon's soul for a microsecond just at the right moment ...?
