War of the Forums

[mr_pikachu]

Sage: Perhaps. But what truth do you expect to show your new student?

I'm a very giving person, so I'll consider explaining further on the next page. But whether or not I'll give the full story is anyone's guess.

Hopefully this will stay interesting for some time to come...


B4: Heh, fair enough. I'll keep your insistence of goodness (with that sole exception) in mind. ^_^

We all have our gifts... things that make us exceptional. But what is Mega Horny's talent?


Hinoryu: *starts laughing* No, I'm not going to bring the Twilight Bracelet into this. Nor will Mega Horny have an avatar (the G.U. version, that is). But that's still one heck of a guess. Good thought!

One request... define "pulling an Ovan," if you would.


Gabi: Er, that was the "hidden meaning." I'm not quite as clever as I look.


You want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

#73: I personally like the first frame on this page the most, because it just seems so fitting for Mega Horny's character to respond like that before the question. That and the fact that I added that part on the spot; initially, I was just going to let Dark Sage ask the question.

The title's a reference to the collectible card game with the same name.

[Hinoryu]

So Mega Horny's hidden power, rather than Skeith, is a Ken Akamatsu character trait; that is, the ability to get ten kinds of shit beaten out of him and survive with only comedic injuries. Nice.

And, er. Before I define 'pulling an Ovan', I should probably ask how much you know of G.U.'s plot to avoid spoilers.

[Perfect Chaos]

Damn...this is what I get for being Gainesville for a weekend without Internet -_-;

#71: Poor poor Brian, such an essential for his team, but gets no credit for being so. I guess it was to be expected lol

#72: Yeah, I was thinking DS was sounding a bit like Morpheus. Except Mega Horny seems more like an idiot than a regular Neo. What the hell possible gift could Mega Horny have?

#73: I chuckled alot in the first panel. It seems natural for Mega Horny to just not comply before knowing anything beforehand. Though I have to admit, I am compelled to know how and why he has manage to survive for this long...

Keep up the excellent work Brian. See you for #74

-Sean

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh! So it was not just a coincidence! Nice work making me think it was until now.

[Mega Horny]

Damnit Brian...as much as these comics are insulting to me, I gotta say,#72 got a hearty laugh outta me, and #73 had me cracking up by the end.

Keep up the good work...'dipwad'

[mr_pikachu]

Hinoryu: Yeah, you could say that. But maybe he's got more potential than simply being able to take a punch. Who knows?

As for G.U., I've played through the first volume. Still need to get the second.


PC: Well, at least it's easy to catch up when you fall behind. ^_^

I get no respect at all. They need me, I tell you!

Yeah, Mega Horny isn't exactly your typical boy with a gift. Then again, none of these characters are exactly run-of-the-mill stereotypes, are they?

As for the most recent page, that's the main reason that the first frame was my favorite. But maybe there's more to his talent than we know...


Gabi: Don't you just love plot twists? Actually, I thought you might have realized it, based on a previous post. But it's better for it to be a surprise.


MH: Insulting? How is finding how that you have a special "gift" an insult? WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?

Call me "dipwad" again, and I'll reveal that your gift is the ability to expel your internal organs through your nostrils. Don't push me!


Okay, this is the very last page I've completed. Have to make some more tonight... until then, here's your update!

#74: The "lewd video" was first mentioned in #15 before catalyzing the plot in #19, #20, #21, #22, and #24. And it's baaaaack!

If you hadn't already realized it, the title is just a list of synonyms for "invincible."

[Lady Vulpix]

Hey, don't underestimate your audience. I think the words in the title are common enough for all of us to know them. Or is it just that you've imposed upon yourself the task of always making a comment about your titles?

As for your reply to my previous post, I had that theory, yes, but your reply ("Heh. Well, he does seem to have a knack for surviving beatings. But somehow that seems like a lame talent to me. ^_^;") made me think that it was just a coincidence and you had something else in mind.

[mr_pikachu]

Gabi: Well, I thought "indomitable" might have thrown a few people. But yes, I do tend to mention the title whenever it references something. That forces me to think about my page titles and resist taking the easy way out.

Ah, right. My reply. Well, I never said you were wrong... tricky, eh?


Okay, I made another page last night, and two more this afternoon. Maybe I'm just treading water, but at least I have room to breathe now.

#75: It seems that Pika's frustration is only getting worse. He doesn't like the plan from #71, and he hasn't even let go of his quarrel with Martin in #68!

This time, the title references one of Plantae's short stories.

[Bulbasaur4]

lol, *pets pika* So amusing... your rants... XD

I look forward to the conflict about to come up soon! BHWAHAHAHAAA... Prepare yourselves Gavin and mist! ^_^

[mistysakura]

Prepare yourselves Gavin and mist! ^_^

The first thing I thought was 'Tara???' Anyway, heh I understand Brian's frustration. But at least it means the other mods think he can multitask. I also love how Mega Horny goes nuts about his, ahem, capabilities. I noticed you're using usernames again in the current chapter; does that mean everyone's going hostile?

[Lady Vulpix]

I think it does, Ada. (Or should I call you Tara now?) It seems to me that hostility's in the air.

[mr_pikachu]

B4: I make about that much sense when I rant, too. Not much.

In any event, things are getting intense... can the situation possibly get any worse?


Tara (haha): Multitasking is only fun when you choose to do it. When it's forced upon you, it just makes you mad. And yes, MH can be a little self-obsessed sometimes. ^_^;

As for the usernames, these are indeed stressful times. But there may be another reason yet to be fully explained... or not. You figure it out!


Gabi: No kidding. I can't see anyone singing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" with the recent developments...


Onward!

#76: So, who's the new guy? And what's with the approaching alien vessel?

"Uninvited" was also the title of a short story by Gavin Luper.

[Bulbasaur4]

*rolls over laughing*
XD XD XD XD XD... I can't WAIT to find out who that bloke is!! He's ugly! XD XD XD XD

... *shifty eyes* Hope it isn't anyone here... ^_^;;
[/color]

[The Blue Avenger]

Holy crap, those eyebrows are so big, they could double as bludgeons of +50 smiting.

Thank you! I'll be here all week!

[Greyfox]

...eyebrows...

-FLCL

[Mew Trainer Rose]

Eyebrows indeed. Which are made from a scan of the seaweed used to make sushi. No joke. Though it's hard to see the texture in those pictures.

[Phoenixsong]

"...They're coming."

...That is cliché.

...Cliché is not always such a bad thing.

The rest... eh, too tired to comment individually, but they were most amusing.

...Hooray for overuse of the ellipsis...!

[mistysakura]

I guess that the guy is Jay and the weird spacecrafts are us. (Although last episode we moved on land...) Or it could be Becca's allies from the PCG planet!

[Lady Vulpix]

It could be...

[Perfect Chaos]

Most interesting. The guy's eyebrows remind me of the situation from Goldmember with The Mole. Everyone is going to see him and just start commenting on his eyebrow everytime (now that would be funny to see).

Anyways, not much for #76, so here's to #77

-Sean

[mr_pikachu]

B4: You think he's ugly, huh? Well, I suppose he does have a style all his own...

I've seen worse, though. Believe me. ^_^


Hypotenuse: Yes, yes. That guy's got the mega brow effect going... and maybe he's you.

You never know...


Arbiter: Someone's watched FLCL, I see.


MTR: And you know your trivia! It's odd, but the look actually works for him. Sort of.


Phoenixsong: Cliches are cliches for a reason. The key, as I see it, is simply to not overuse them.

I'm glad you're enjoying this. In any event, ellipses are fun!


Ada: Both of those are legitimate possibilities... no comment. ^_^


Gabi: It could be. But is it?


PC: Heh, now that would also be ripping off FLCL itself. As Grey said, "...eyebrows..." Not sure I'll go quite that far, but it's definitely a thought.


It's time for another page... haha... wahaha... bwahahaha! *cough* Haaa...

*clears throat* ...Yeah.

#77: As M. Night Shyamalan might say, "What a twist!"

I have to say, I find this title especially fitting. After all, it's based off Dark Sage's own fic, Pokémon: Storming Heaven's Gates.

[Phoenixsong]

Fitting title indeed. Actually, I haven't read that yet, as I haven't read Pokémonese, either. One of these weeks months years aeons days I will, though. Really. No, seriously. That and every other interesting looking fanfic here... *cries*

That is quite the plot twist, yes. But how does overthrowing you guys make MH a "hero"? Might there be something nasty lurking in the mods' records? Or is DS lying? Hmmmm...

[The Blue Avenger]

...wow. Didn't see that one coming. Though, from a guy named 'Dark' Sage, it probably shouldn't be that much of a surprise... I'll wager, now, that DS orchestrated the breakout to distract the mods, and will strike while their backs are turned - or he's using the time to do stuff he couldn't otherwise do under the mods' watchful eyes in the name of training MH.

But he definitely released Jay. Ohhhh yes.

[Dark Sage]

Me? Overthrow the mods? Gee, do I dare live out the great American dream?

I'm liking this more and more. I don't know whether this motive is rooted in good or evil, but I still like it.

And I look forward to see who else is in on this faction.

[Perfect Chaos]

Hahaha, nice plot twist there. It shall be funny to see Mega Horny possibly take on Mr. Pika in a one-on-one showdown. That, I will pay to see

Keep 'em coming Brian!

-Sean

[mr_pikachu]

Phoenixsong: Yeah, I liked it. And I understand your dilemma about not being able to read what you want due to time constraints. It's frustrating, isn't it?

As for this perceived heroism, maybe Dark Sage has a different perspective on the world. Or perhaps he's just trying to manipulate Mega Horny to his own wishes. Who knows?


Hypotenuse: The name does fit, doesn't it? Perhaps DS did have a hand in the escapade with Jay. That would seem to make sense, after all. Then again, there may be more to this situation than we know. It's hard to say. Perhaps it all depends upon his plan...


DS: Mmyes. You're evil. Eeevil!

...Maybe. Or maybe I'll avoid making you a stereotypical villain with no reason for his dark actions. Despite how odd that would be considering your username.


PC: I've been looking forward to revealing that twist. But what will MH's role in this be? Only time will tell.


Perhaps this page will change how you look at the world around you, Fanficcers...

#78: It would seem that Dark Sage's motivation has been revealed...

Is Mega Horny just paranoid, or is there a good reason for his fear?

This was one of my most difficult references, actually. I'm trying to show the difference between public communication on the forum and private messages. They're treated completely differently by the staff, for obvious reasons.

By the way, an oligarchy is a society ruled by a few, rather than a single person. Just so you know.

[eevee-shayna]

nice use of PM

[Mystic_clown]

Why do I get a feeling there's more to DS' motives then just that.

[mistysakura]

Hehe oligarchy vs. dictatorship (snicker). Is "they've always ruled this world" a throwback to "And these guys rule the world"? Interesting about the PMs; in practice if we did that it wouldn't work though, because we'd need to track the PMs to determine if there was any criminal activity in them in teh first place, wouldn't we? I suspect there's more to DS's motives as well.

[darktyranitar]

Aha, so Dark Sage is actually evil!

Now, I wonder if he is connected in anyway with the havoc at the fanfic section... And is Mega Horny's gift is going to be any helpful?

[Phoenixsong]

Hmm... I'm not sure that DS's namesake is actually technically evil. YGO is like Pokémon, after all; Dark doesn't mean bad. (Assuming that is where he got it from.)

...Doesn't make the WotF DS a cuddly, harmless puppy, though, does it? We'll see how this plays out.

I like the description of PMs, too. And HA! I knew what oligarchy meant already!

[Lady Vulpix]

What Ada said. And so, what's the plan? Get rid of the old dictatorship to start a new one? History often goes that way, doesn't it?

[Blademaster]

Not just history...

So, the king of YGO fanfics wants to become the king of all fanfics and usher in a new era of who-knows-what... and he's suckering Mega Horny into doing his dirty/get-beat-up work...? Hmmmm...

Anyway, I'll be waiting to see what transpires next... And to see what happens to Blademaster himself.

Ciao.

[Dark Sage]

Mmmm. Lady Vulpix has a point. Whenever anyone seeks to overthrow a dictatorship, they often mean well, but when they suceed, they often form another one.

And I'm not sure if my alter-ego is telling the whole story. There's gotta be more to this...

But anyway, I'm still anxious to see what this leads to with MH. Is Blade in on this too? We'll just have to wait and see...

[Andrew]

Is this WAR actually going to happen?

[mr_pikachu]

Shayna: Ehe, thanks! Wasn't sure how well it worked...


Mystic: Perhaps. Or maybe he really is just trying to improve Fanfic for everyone... who's to say?


Ada: Yeah, there are many ways to oppress people, aren't there? ^_^; I see you caught another of my many hidden references. Nice find! And as for the whole PM tracking thing... think of it this way. When someone actually breaks the rules, they pretty much have to do so through public actions. So at that point it's no longer private, and is thus open to be detected. ...Or something.

I see everyone is hoping for DS to have his own ulterior motives.


Faiz: He definitely wants to enact major changes in Fanfic. But does that make him evil? What do you think?

As for the other chaos... no comment. ^_^


Phoenixsong: You're right that "dark" doesn't necessarily mean "bad"... but does it mean he's good? Neutral? How should we interpret his identity? We shall see...

And I figured that some readers would know what an oligarchy was. But it was fun to explain it nonetheless.


Gabi: Interesting theory. But do you think that DS is so misguided that he would fall prey to such a trap? Such pessimism!


Blade: Not just history? What do you mean?

That's an unusual interpretation. Still, it's a legitimate theory, although it's every bit as pessimistic as the others. You all have no respect for the Sage!


Sage: Of course, you seem to think you're evil, as well. I give up. I'll stop trying to convince everyone that you're a good guy and let them assume that you're the grand antagonist of the story. It seems to be what you want, after all. Whether you think you're power-hungry or simply keeping secrets, why do you have such a negative view of yourself?

As for the whole "association," you'll see. Eventually.


Andrew: If I told you that, I'd ruin the surprise, now wouldn't I?


Maybe the next page will surprise you, and maybe it won't. Either way, it's ready!

#79: Ready... FIGHT!

(The title was intended to partially reference the 1977 sci-fi blockbuster, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.)

[darktyranitar]

Whoo! Orochimaru! ...which means that my prediction was right.

So that's Jay, huh? Hehehe... this is going to be interesting.

[Perfect Chaos]

Whoo, Jay's Orochimaru, hahaha. Maybe Martin will be the one to take him down (reference to the Naruto battle).

Anyways, we finally get to see some fighting! Can't wait for it to start.

And of course, Mr. Pika is still fuming over the lack of regard his colleagues have for him. Poor poor Mr. Pika

See you then!

-Sean

[Dark Sage]

Well, they've finally found Jay...

FIGHT!

It's time to see just how competant the mods are. I have a feeling Jay won't go down as easy as Becca did...

[Sike Saner]

Finally got around to checking this out (aren’t I punctual XD), and I’m glad I did. This is very entertaining—enough so that I went through all of the episodes so far in one sitting. So many priceless quotes and moments…

Here’s a list of my favorite pages, as well as the reasons why they made the list (usually in the form of a quote of glory):

#4 – “So, why do you want to hire my syndicate?” “Well, I… Syndicate? You’re just one guy!” “Are you TRYING to get me to kill you?” XD
#6 – Noteworthy for the amusing “blah blah blah” going on, especially since it contained the word “circumcized” and the phrase “anal probe”… and wtf, he was doing all that strange rambling about his dentist?! XD
#8 – NAKEDNESS! NUDITY! WHEE! XD Lol, “Lil’ Pika”… XD
#12: – So determined to convince everyone of how impressive Lil’ Pika is! XD “ “...Oh, wait. It's not quite as impressive now. Hang on a sec.”—That killed me. XD And so did the whole “Mr. ‘Salute the Flagpole’” thing.
#13: – “How are you alive, and why are you naked?”—ClASSIC quote.
#14: – More classic quotes: “My hat got caught on a rafter, so I stayed minty-fresh.” and “I shower, I bathe, I scrub, I rinse, I change clothes, I put on makeup, and… I STILL SMELL LIKE A TOILET SEAT!”
#21 – The choice of picture for the last panel = PERFECT.
#28 – “It was just a couple of days before the Fanfic Awards. She was talking to a guy named ‘Mega Horny’” “How drunk was his mom when she named him?”
#29 – That image, with the question marks in the background… I love it. XD
#30 – Nice use of the kid-reporting-a-pervert-to-Mommy bubble to protect sensitive eyes from Blademaster’s use of the magic F-word. XD
#46 – Gavin having turn it around less than gracefully in the middle of his announcement like that… XD
#47 – Having a laugh over what Gavin did in #46! “He’s all like ‘Uh, buh, well, I… we’re doing… stuff!’” XD
Extra #1 – “Ultimate Tunder Zap Canon Bomm Picachu” made me laugh so hard it hurt. XD Plus, there was underwear! UNDERWEAR! XD
#51 – “You’re testing me? WITH MISSLES?”—For some reason, that amuses the heck out of me. XD
#52 – “Wow. Mega Horny, man, you really suck.” XD
#53 – The last panel is priceless. XD
#57 – Heh, their reaction to what their spying yielded… XP
#58 – I love that fifth panel.
#60 – Priceless all throughout, but especially there at the end.
#63 – “YOU’RE BREAKING MY MIND!” XD
#73 – “Let me ask you a personal question, Mega Horny.” “No.” XD
#77 – Another one with a priceless final panel.


…Wow, that list contained more XD smilies than… something that contains a lot of XD smilies. ._. Yeah, I need sleep. XD Anyway, yeah, this is some boss stuff. I’ll be back for more.
