ONE PIECE PIRATES WRATH CODES CODE
Myers suggested that maybe the code wasn’t so much a warning as a call for a meeting and that undesirable elements learned that the one often proceeded the other.Īllen, however rejected this notion by noting first that several prominent Masons during the 1870s-80s opposed vigilantism, and second that the Masons have never been keen on publicly displaying secret codes. This might be the first time Skeptoid has ever supported a Mason theory. In a rare move for Skeptoid, Brian Dunning endorsed the Mason theory suggested by Rex Myers in which the 3 represents either the general number of Masons required to form a lodge or the specific number that formed the first lodge in Montana the 7 represents the ideal minimum number involved in a decision and 77 represents the number of Masons in Montana at the first gathering. Other theorists have added the numbers (3+7+7+7) and said that it represented the 24 hours criminals had to leave town unmolested. He claimed to have based this theory on his acquaintance with former Vigilantes during his childhood. Judge Llewellyn Link Callaway, writing in 1929, claimed the numbers represented the 3 hours, 7 minutes, and 77 seconds Vigilantes gave miscreants to get out of town. In A River Runs through It, Norman Maclean offhandedly assumed that the numbers represent the dimensions of a grave (3 feet wide, 7 feet long, and 77 inches deep). What the numbers might have meant to the graffitios who tagged Helena’s fences in 1879, we will never know. Today, nearly divorced of sinister meaning, the code shows up on everything from the Montana Highway Patrol to the Big Sky Brewing Company as a short-hand reference to the state’s frontier past. For about forty years, the code appeared fairly regularly, in situations ranging from shooing vagrants out of downtowns to the lynching of union organizer Frank Little. As Allen pointed out, the uniquely Montana tag first appeared in 1879, and wasn’t directly connected to a lynching until 1885. Thomas Dimsdale, the Vigilantes most vocal supporter, didn’t mention the code in his 1865 book, and Nathaniel Langford, a prominent Montanan who participated in the first wave of vigilantism, said nothing on the subject in his 1890 book. Beyond these, few facts exist to present.Īs far as we can tell, the numbers have nothing to do with Montana’s first, and most famous, Vigilantes. In it, Dunning covered much the same ground as anyone else who writes on the topic: the fact that the Montana Highway Patrol and other Montana institutions use the numbers in their logos, the five or so main theories, and Fredrick Allen’s 2013 book A Decent, Orderly Lynching. (By the way, Brambles is really annoying when enemies use it on you.Brian Dunning aired a piece on his blog Skeptoid discussing the Montana symbol 3-7-77. If Wrath of Mithras were truly overpowered, they could have just reduced the range (but still keep it longer than Inferno).Īlso, Light Flash, IIRC, is not any different from Brambles in its effect. This means you get access to the spell before the pirate fight (where it is extremely useful) and can later get near-infinite casts thanks to Charger.Īlso, Inferno does the same damage as Wrath of Mithras and hits more targets. Furthermore, there are plenty of items that cast Zak's speed, including some that clearly shouldn't (some bombs, one specific piece of Magic Chain). Zak's Speed, when stacked, trivializes any encounter that doesn't involve spell casters or fire breathers. I don't buy the "too powerful" explanation. Wrath of Mithras is used by at least one enemy. Furthermore, most Healing Potions (including the one obtainable infinite times in the Tars Ruins Underground) cast that spell when used. Valar (if i remember his name correctly) starts with the spell.
