Just a random question: Without giving away any major information (read: spoilers  :P) may I ask how many members the Black Cloak Society has?

Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes...

And I'm his little assistant that he pays absolutely no attention to whatsoever!  :suffer:

I think cedric fits in the Black Cloak Society as he is so annoying, as is Alhazred, I have no idea of anything about Shadrack, Mannanan is just plain weird, and Mordack, well, his laugh is so annoying! Chuck Norris, who is he, anyway? And the Neil guy... Well, he's annoying to the sense he won't give any good spoilers to any of us! (He gave one about keyboard shortcuts!) So, on the whole, the BCS is one very annoying group, as Neil and Cedric as the main coordinators of the entire scheme! And Yonkey, please don't make us  :suffer: too much! I've had too much suffering for one generation!

Just wondering, so far there has been speculation that nearly all the KQ villains were part of the BCS. That includes Lolotte, Hagatha, and Malicia.

However the ones we know for sure were Mordack, Alhazred, and Shadrack. Where do we know for sure that Manannan was part of the BSC? Or is that also speculation?

Unless it's mentioned in the KQ companion. Maybe Mannanan thought Mordack belonged to a kiddie school chess club and no part of it.

Jafar

Where do you think he was always running off to in KQ3? :P

I haven't read the companion, but nowhere in the games is it stated explicitly that Manannan is a member. We assume he though, since we know his brother is, plus he wears a black cloak. Sure, it's only circumstancial evidence, but that's more than we have on Malicia or Lolotte ;P

It's still enough evidence either way.  I've always though that the three of them were Black Cloak members.

The companion never states that Manannan is a black cloak member as far as I know. However that never rules out the possibility that he could be a member, seeing as his brother is a member and all.

Seeing as how Black Cloak was largely Jane Jensen's concept (and not something Roberta discussed in length), we would probably have to ask her how deep into King's Quest Lore she intended the Black Cloak society to be involved.

As it is it seems as if the Black Cloak Society possibly wouldn't have ever shown up in later official KQ games(if they had been made) as Roberta never thought much about the idea, and didn't even know the society was included in KQ6(at least not by the name of "Society of the Black Cloak"). She only partially thought about the idea.

Quote"The "Black Cloak Society" was never an actual term that I instigated or thought up. I'm not actually sure where that came from. The closest thought that I have on that subject is that: when I was working with Jane Jensen on King's Quest 6, and we thought up the evil vizier, we talked loosely about the possibility of putting Mannanan, Mordack, and the vizier together as group -- possibly -- in a future King's Quest. There was loose reference to the possibility in King's Quest 6, although nothing was set in stone at that time. I think that it's possible that Jane Jensen might have mentioned the possibility (perhaps) in subsequent interviews on the subject, although, I'm not sure about that. Later on, I heard about the Black Cloak Society and kind of wondered where that phrase came from, but, I never refuted it as I thought it was kind of cool and, probably, would have gone on with the idea in future King's Quests had I had the chance. And, one final thing: Hagatha was never part in any discussion of a Black Cloak Society.

QuoteI asked Roberta [...], and sorry to admit that she said she didn't remember the Black Cloak Society. It sounds cool. Perhaps she should have taken it more seriously and featured it in other games...quote]

Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

In the companion it says Hagatha is Mordack's sister and she's a member of the BCS aswell.
