Fred Really Needs To Wrap This Story Up., Not a troll. Just hard truth.

Yes, but she mentions pictures that she has seen of you... (Why am I one of those who never seen anyone's pictures? >< )

Which, while I can agree about wearing black in pictures, doesn't actually say too much because black is also the color of a lot formal wear...

But other than that, I can say that I do agree with Nekura about you being... well. You do have this... style. *coughs*

One last thing... If ya don't like it, don't read it. There's plenty of space on the 'net for everyone...

If you don't start it soon, Lac, I may have to immolate the story with the wrath of an ancient Norse diety.

Well, the pictures of me that she's seen is kind of something I'm wondering about, too. I'm pretty sure the only one's I've posted around here are black and white drawings, so the color of my clothing would be rather hard to determine. Well, there is a photo of my on Photobucket wearing a black hakama and white kimono.

You all SO completely fail at stalking!

MQC to DevArt to LJ and you have to take it from there. I'm not doing ALL your work for you!

Nekura, be vewwy vewwy quiet...

Or in some cases, just lazy~ zzzzzz.

Nekura wants to be dominated by brigid!
Do you crave press of her sexy stilleto clad heel against your throat, sweet Etowaru?

I'm sorry I was too busy throwing up copiously, what was that you said? I'm sure there must be something in my life that would be more traumatic and odious but I'm not coming up with it

But Hey when Satan needs a parka, I'll get riiiiiiiiiiiiight on that, you betcha.

Nekura, its not easy being green

SHIRT GUY DOM IS THE LORD AND SAVIOR BOW BEFORE HIS WRAITH RIGHTEOUS FURY! Your slander has been noted and we, the Followers of the Stick, shall rain down all kinds of hell for this insult!

----------------

Wait, wait, wait, it all makes sense now! Brigid you kinky little minx~ You have been playing us all for fools but your deeds have been noted! I have new found respect for you, since its not often I meet a S&M artist~

Sorry Nekura, you know I love your body, but I am just not into Roman showers.

This makes me sad, because it implies that the ride is coming to an end sooner than later.

I mean, I do want an eventual resolution, but having followed the comic since the early days (my forum join date notwithstanding, I read MT back starting from strip 39), hearing this is like hearing... well I'm trying to think of a tasteful analogy, but I can't. It's the sense of impending, rather than eventual, loss.

Okay, yeah...that would be more odious and traumatic...and people call ME nasty, OMG.

Nekura, have a seat in the Comfy Chair...

*pours brain bleach on the entire thread, excepting the space occupied by swimsuit miho*

No, I shall remain standing thank you very much, and to show what a gentlebear I can be Nekura... ladies first.

(Rinses face vigorously.)
Thanks Kendermouse ever so much. I think that burn of bleach might purify me a bit after the way they were forcing swimsuit Miho in my face.
(Points toward swimsuit Miho.)
You missed a spot sweetheart... better safe and sure. I will go get my flame thrower.

See, I step out of thread for two seconds and look what you guys do. I just can't leave you alone can I?

Not really...I'm fine by myself...get other people involved though...that's when the trouble happens...

Nekura, with a capital T

These threads are always amusing, if somewhat predictable. Someone posts something critical of MT, or of Fred's output, or whatever. This is rapidly followed by The Charge of the Fan Brigade, or whatever guise it's taking this week. Then the thread descends into either acrimony (and subsequent closure by a cranky mod) or silliness and roleplay (as is the case here).

But there's always something to laugh at.

Having Invisigoth lead the fanboy charge was most amusing, especially if you've followed his career in these forums under its many names.

Of course, there followed the obligatory misreading of the original post, the assumption that it was the same as every previous one, and the presentation of the usual arguments against something that wasn't said in the first place. And let's not forget all those straw men.

The usual response then being, "if you don't like it then GTFO!" Such nice people we all are. Oh yes.

Like all the really good threads of this type, Fred himself just couldn't resist chiming in. I'm still never sure if he gets defensive about the original post, or if he's embarrassed about the fanboy hordes so vigorously defending him.

Now, there are probably many fandoms that get belligerent at any sort of criticism of their chosen object of worship. This one is renowned for its intolerance, close-mindedness and downright viciousness. A lot of people here can't seem to get their head around the idea that someone might really like something, yet still want it to be better. Pointing out what they'd like done better seems to be taken as some sort of ultimate blasphemy and a cue to unleash the attack dogs.

It's still really funny reading the thread though. Shame about the roleplay and barely disguised flirting. That part gets a bit old.

While I'm at it, there's one thing I don't understand. Why is it assumed that once someone has a child, they're incapable of holding down a full time job in the same way as before. I'm pretty sure that Fred isn't a single-dad either. I'm not making any complaints about output or whatever here, I just don't know why everyone puts it up as an excuse for him. (And I don't ever recall Fred himself saying anything along those lines). I'm pretty sure there's a hell of a lot of parents who work full time jobs. Think about it.

In conclusion though, thanks for another entertaining thread. Remember kids, it's serious business.

@ -The Saint- , actually these days Fred sits goes to his secret channel where we mock and ridicule people who start threads like this.

Just as we are mocking and ridiculing you even now!

Addendum: having not seen you post in a while curiosity impelled me to review your past missives. When it comes to analysis you blow dead whales!

That is all

There's only one thing we can do. Nuke the thread from orbit. And then have cake.

SHROOM OF DEWWMMM CAKE!!!

I wonder how many kg's that one was?

I have to Say though I just cant help myself imagining Brigid in leather and high heeled boots now. Thanks guys for the image in my head. I must now go and scrrub my brain of these impure thoughts.

Aw, damn, Nek. Here I was holding back and you go and drop the nukes on this guy. Can't I have a little fun at some point?

I've seen your analysis threads, so no. That is way WAY outside my pain threshold.

Nekura, you'll just feel a little sting...

I never actually said 'gtfo' but I guess one could construe it that way...

And some of us wouldn't even notice a little nuking... we'd just continue along anyways, like nothing ever happened... I'll have me some of that radiated cake though...

Also, brain bleach doesn't work on me, whooooooo!

Besides, it's a fun opportunity to indulge in the MT Drinking Game.

I never expect anything less from SD's fandumb, though I suddently want to write a Tennyson parody. Perhaps if the argument were structured a little more musically?

Gallagher Killed the Internet Star
To the tune of "Video Killed the Radio Star," with apologies to the Buggles

I saw you in a bookstore back in '02
I'd refresh all night to see updates coming through
Though just a n00b it didn't stop me loving you
(Oh-uh-oh)

Then things got boring when you split with l33t Largo
Filling the strip with rot of sad girls in the snow
Do you remember the game jokes used to go
(Oh-uh-oh)

I read your fan board
(Oh-uh-oh)
What are they mad for?
(Oh-uh-oh)

Gallagher killed the internet star!
Gallagher killed the internet star!
Plot lines came and stole the show
(Oh-uh-oh)

So now we're long past the Second Fanboy War
We read the archives of the fun that came before
Now when you update the pages are a bore

(Oh-uh-oh)
It was a fun strip
(Oh-uh-oh)
Too bad, a dull strip

Gallagher killed the internet star!
Gallagher killed the internet star!

Angsty fans and angry rows
We can't fast-forward the strip's too slow

(Oh-uh-uh-oh)
(Oh-uh-uh-oh)

Gallagher killed the internet star!
Gallagher killed the internet star!

Angsty fans and angry rows
We can't fast-forward the strip's too slow
Plot lines came and stole the show
Put the blame on Kimiko!

You are~ an internet sta~r
You are~ an internet sta~r

Gallagher killed the internet star!
Gallagher killed the internet star!
Gallagher killed the internet star!
Gallagher killed the internet star!
(You are~ an internet sta~r...)
Gallagher killed the internet star!
Gallagher killed the internet star...

I enjoyed the gamer jokes at first, but it was the plot and characters that kept me reading. Then when Kimiko and Piro got drunk at that bar, I was hooked hard. I have a hard time understanding why someone would prefer the old style. Not that the very early stuff was bad, just that the later stuff is so very very good.

Not as good as Wavebird_Ocelot's. But imagine old blue eyes singing to the tune of When I Was 17...

When Rodney was here
It was a very good strip
It was a very good strip for gamer nerds
Who liked Neverwinter Nights
Romero jokes would delight
And l33t speak would appear
When Rodney was here

When Rodney was here
It was a very good strip
It was a very good strip for impatient nerds
Who can't wait for a week
Simple jokes they would seek
They had no reason to ph34r
When Rodney was here

When Rodney was here
It was a very good strip
It was a very good strip for shallow nerds
For whom thinking is rare
No plot? Didn't care
Largo drank more beer
When Rodney was here

But now the plot is deep
With sad girls in the snow
And now it can touch you deep in your soul
And Fred's artwork is great
Yes sometimes that makes him late
But it's a lot better, you hear
Than when Rodney was here
