Why didn't you send them to the farm?

[Douglas Quaid]

I finish the episode and see that only I and 23% of players decided to send Colin and Toad to the farm. Guess I'm in the minority on this one, but I thought the choice was pretty clear given that they obviously broke the rules and it was demonstrated that they wern't going to change.

They both put Fabletown at a huge risk and it seemed irresonsible to let them continue. Can someone tell me why you decided to spare them?

[IndigoHawk]

I spared Toad and Colin because they are low priority. Bigby and Snow don't have time to enforce glamour laws when there is a murderer on the loose and the government is falling apart. Other than saying, "Go to the farm", is Bigby really going to take the time to make sure they go there? Why even hassle them if Bigby doesn't the resources to enforce that law right now?

The other reason I spared them is because Snow is picking on weak Fables because she's frustrated. She needs to get realistic about why the Fables don't have money for glamours. If she mindlessly enforces laws without caring about the Fables, they'll turn on her ... or she'll drive them to to rely on people like the Crooked Man.

I've read the comics.
I don't know how much time has passed between game and comics but, from the start of the comics, the Farm is not a good place right now.

Plus, if you want a non-comic answer, I spared Toad 'cause of TJ and Colin because.. because Colin <3 :)

[You takin notes]

I did not send Colin to the farm because, i mean come on, how can a pig get a job?
There is no he he's able to get a glamour.

[Demoman?]

In the same breath, she also tells Bigby to not wolf-up when he's being filleted by shotgun fire.

Can't say I gave a single ♥♥♥♥ about what Snow wanted this chapter.

As it's part of the bigger picture and they also present a risk for Fabletown just not in the same way as The Crooked Man. As Wolf Among Us is a canon prequel and as the farm Fables never mention the possibility of black magic glamours this leads to only one conclusion The Crooked Man is taken down and his operation dismantled.

She might be taking it out on them due to frustration. She also has a point at the same time.

And yes they do eventually turn on her as Animal Farm is about that. Not that it ends well for them

Which means there is no choice but to send him to the Farm as a talking pig in New York is a problem in terms of keeping their existence unknown.

He could just simply shut up when mundies are around

I think this is something he himself actually mentions in episode 4. A bipedal toad in trousers may be a little difficult to handwave away, but hey, so Bigby's got a pet pig. What of it? :)

[Hobbes]

For me it just seems like Bigby is running pretty low on people he can consider friends, so I wanted to keep those sort of peopel around...seems like he needs 'em.

[Lajkos]

Didn't send Colin to the farm becaus he doesn't strike me as someone who will, or even want to, walk around in the mundy world. And he wouldn't be a big threat if he stay in the Business Office area. Also he is completely awesome.

As for Toad, it's just funny to listen to his rants. And I gave him one last chanse to buy a glamor with Crane's money

[Inigo]

Toad's got a kid. Shifty little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but not harmful. Plus he's been threatened by the Tweedles, after Woody beat up a hooker . You know, I'm sure he had a lot to do \ think about.
And, as repeatedly touched on, Crane siphoning off public money is part of the reason his building is so ill-kept and contributes to Toad's "poverty" as well. Sooo...

So a pig loose in New York. How soon will animal control be involved?

The reason he is in Bigby's apartment is because he escapes from the Farm. So instead of him being in a wide open farm area he would be a prisoner in a small office area.

Even though we are given choices, it's up to us to decide which one is the right choice. I feel like Bigby has to make some of his own choices, and stand up to Snow. Regardless of whether I try to keep her calm, safe, and stuff like that. Snow got distracted by the phone, Colin was spared. I wasn't going to send him back and I told him not to worry about it. I won't. And, I gave Toad Crane's money. Hopefully he'll use it for glamour. Probably not, but still... it was an excuse, and I won't send him back. Well, maybe I might have to send Toad. But I don't want to. He's gotten plenty of chances. And they really are low priority. Law or not, Snow is just trying to be in assertive position when she really doesn't know what she's dealing with. I may have gotten the choice to tear Dum's neck out... but I chose to do it, because that just made my job easier. And they pump you full of shells with the intent to kill. Should've killed them both, that is just one less person to deal with later. If it comes to that.

EDIT: Actually, I don't think I'll send either of them to the farm. Nerissa said to watch out for my friends, and I guess that means Toad & Colin. I'm not letting Colin go, but I don't think I'll be sending Toad away either. Even if I should. Snow will just have to deal with it. But Toad really should get some glamour.

[Selvec]

Okay this is weird. On my game, it said the opposite. That me and 26% of players chose not to send colin or toad to the farm.

I'm starting to think the results are fudged numbers that telltale just throws in.

[Nukehouse247]

Mine says 31.9% of players decided not to send Colin to the farm. And 42.7% of players decided not to send Toad to the farm (there are two statistics for both characters, not just one).

It does say NOT send... not just send. The OP says that 26% of players did send Colin to the farm. When in fact, it (the statistics) says 26% of players did NOT send Colin to the farm. He read it incorrectly. He's actually in the majorty, not the minority like he thinks.

Even if he didn't miss a word. That was 10 hours ago. The episode has only been out for a fairly short time, 10 hours is plenty of time for people to contribute to the statistics. They change fairly often, and quickly. Sometimes drastically. For some Telltale games, I'll look at the statistics at one point and I'll be in the 95% majority... then a day later you can look and I'll be in the 45% minority.

i pitied them,well to think of it,bigby destroyed toad's car,toad's wall and he doesn't have the money to repair those or to buy the glamour himself,and seiing how nerissa said about friendship i guess ill treat my friends as good as possible(always doing that since episode 1 lol)
