War of the Forums

[mr_pikachu]

Phoenixsong: That would be an interesting development. But in that case, did someone else release him? Or did he escape under his own power?

Pyromania is awesome. And don't fight the computer to get your brain back! Just have the device upload your consciousness to the internet. Believe me, life's more fun when you're online.


Blademaster: Iffy Pop? Hmm...

I've watched a little bit of Case Closed, so I know what you mean. As for the spoiler tags, you can add them (Spoiler:) like this. I did so in the first two posts of this thread in order to create the character guide. Just put the word "spoiler" in tags. Simple!

Of course, if your idea is obscure, illogical, and incorrect, it probably doesn't need spoiler tags. Then again, everything here is completely crazy, so you never know...

And I find it rather funny that you used the word "faction" in your post. Yes... very funny indeed...


Gavin: *sees list of comments*

*whimpers*

#69: Yeah, it seemed fitting for MH to say something like that. As for Blademaster, it's clear that you ignored the title of that page.

#70: Yes, it's Jay! But how did he get out? Hmm... good question.

#71: Yeah, Gavin's taking this mission very seriously. And wisely so. The “delta formation” was just a short way for me to say they'll be moving with one person in front and two in the back. Glad it made you laugh, though. ^_^ And Pika gets the lamest job, as usual!

#72: Sarcasm is fun. As for his gift, well... you've already seen it, haven't you?

#73: Yes, the sarcasm lives on! Sasshi's expressions are really what made me choose him as Mega Horny's character. And I was worried that Dark Sage's retort might have been a little longwinded, but I guess it worked.

#74: Yeah, I love using a couple of humorous panels in the midst of big revelations. Especially when it allows me to further develop the relationships between characters.

#75: Fear the frying pan! ^_^ Yeah, not everyone is happy about this arrangement. It's definitely creating some animosity...

#76: Who knows? Maybe I'm pulling yet another trick on you. And yeah, those eyebrows are entertaining. As for who that new character is, I'm not saying a word. But I'm glad you appreciated the reference.

#77: Threats all around! But who is allied with whom? Just how much do these groups have to do with one another?

#78: I have to say, he makes us look pretty bad. Is he right in his critique? Or is there more to the story? Considering that you want to crush the peons, I'm starting to wonder if he's correct...

#79: How irresponsible of us!

#80: When I saw your comment about the spamming infraction ages ago, I must've laughed for a solid minute because I knew what was coming. (I think you suggested techniques based on Harry Potter spells.) And yes, that was as good of a reason as any to make that Jay's character. In addition to the general evilness of his appearance.

#81: We always need to keep our guard up! That's what I've been trying to tell you... and there's definitely something weird happening. But what? How scared should we be?

...You just gave me carpal tunnel syndrome. Are you happy now? ^^;;


Gabi: Bad timing or faulty planning? You be the judge.


DS: This snag may be troublesome... but what trick did Jay use for his prison break?

And yes, the War may be rather catastrophic. But for who? And how will the groups deal with the ensuing conflict?


Shuppet: Hey, welcome! I was wondering if you'd join our group. It's good to have you here! ^_^

I'm glad you like your character. Yes, you gave Mega Horny a royal pounding. But can you keep that dominance over him, now that he's training under your sensei as well?

Well, I hope you keep reading. Even though you're disappointed in my birth name.


Sike: Ehehe, don't worry about it. I see you were reading Knights to Remember, anyway. Since that's part of one of my favorite sagas here, I'll forgive you. You cheating son of a...

*coughs* Ahem. You know what they say about the best-laid plans... we'll see how well Dark Sage and company deal with this wrench in the works.


Of course, there are still many more developments on the horizon. Whether that horizon is metaphorical or literal.

#82: Perhaps she's not as invisible as she thinks, huh?

(Yes, I love references to things on the forum. Invisible mode is cool, to a point.)

This title references an old fic by Shadow Trainer Ash.

[Dark Sage]

Hmm... A lady in red...

Is this one of Becca's alien friends? Things just got more complicated.

Between this new visitor and the guy with the eyebrows, things might heat up rather quickly.

I'm liking this more with each passing day. Each strip makes me want more. Keep it up.

- DS

EDIT: I now also assume that the guy with the eyebrows is most likely Andrew.

[Gavin Luper]

Oooooh. Who is she? It must be someone from Fanart or something, given they have employed Saffire Persian's "cloaking device" (I'm assuming that's who you meant by "Saff".) Or maybe someone from yet another forum ... hmmm ... I'm gonna take a random stab at Kalah (not literally).

Eyebrow Man appears again. He must be some kind of omniscient fanficcer. Andrew!

Hehehe - I didn't expect you to actually reply to all my comments, but thanks anyway! I'll have to go back and reread some things I think. Sorry for giving you carpal tunnel syndrome.

[mr_pikachu]

DS: Who's the lady in red? And will she go dancing with you? Good question. Don't expect an immediate answer. ^_^

And Mr. Eyebrows has his own secrets, I'm sure. Like his identity, which you seem to believe is Andrew. But what will happen next? I hope you enjoy the pages to come...


B4: Girl power! Woo!


Hypotenuse: You're the first person who caught the word "Saff" in that post. But perhaps this is the biggest trick of all... I have a lot of secret, elaborate plans. Should your first assumption be wrong, the following analysis is a moot point. As for eyebrows man, I'm not about to just give you the answer for free!

The next page will arrive in just a few paragraphs.


Gavin: Noooooo! Don't stab Kalah! She's a nice person!

Eyebrows Man may or may not be Andrew. Who's to say? Not me, at least not right now. You'll find out soon enough.

And you should be ashamed of yourself. My hands are still sore! *pops all 28 finger joints at once*

...GYAAAAAAGH!


Phoenixsong: Finally, someone who disagrees with the popular opinion! That seems like a pretty big assumption to me as well... but yes, his facial features are truly impressive. Almost like they grant him super powers!

...But those are really lame super powers. Even worse than not dying from a titanic bludgeoning.

That's an interesting theory. It does hinge on whether the incoming guest knows who the mods are, but you've definitely done a bit of thinking about it. Curious idea; I have to admit, it's worth a second look. Even if those eyebrows are terrifying to view.

And I'll respond to your last paragraph with a short comment: I'm not saying a thing. Hee!


Ada: Hey, I've made plenty of references to people who have left the forum. Like The Decapitated Mole, for instance. Sure, he's never exactly appeared, but still! It could be a PCG mod, but that doesn't leave many possibilities... and why the heck do you all think that sushibrow is Andrew?


Sike: Oh, yes. Extraordinary eyebrows must provide extraordinary powers. Why else would anyone wear them if they didn't? It all makes perfect sense!

I plan to coerce one of my friends into creating an account here under the name "Safflower" in the next few days. Yeah. That's totally not a complete and utter lie. Totally.


Shuppet: Heh. I may have a few more serious pages up my sleeve... we'll see how the tone plays out.

I did get the balloons from the free version of Comic Book Creator; you're right. But when I experimented with it, I realized that I didn't like how the program itself worked. So I kept the images and ditched the program in favor of Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop. They work much better for me.


Charles: Okay, let's have a show of hands. Does anyone not think that Eyebrows Man is Andrew?

...I see.

So, you think this is an alliance of the ladies? It's certainly possible. After all, what war is more vicious than the battle of the sexes? But that would be an interesting recruitment process, since the other mods might not take too well to that.


Here's hoping you all take well to the next page!

#83: Does Jay have a trick up his sleeve? Or has he finally lost it?

"Facade" was also the title of a one-shot written by Andrew. And I think it perfectly describes the contrast between the worry that Jay shows and... whatever that was in the last panel.

[Blademaster]

Thanks, Brian.

Now I can potentially spoil the whole comic for everyone right here in public! Yahoo!


POSSIBLE SPOILERS - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DON'T BITCH AT ME IF I GIVE ANYTHING AWAY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T FORCE YOU TO READ IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!


(Spoiler:) We have 5 current factions in this comic: Fanfic, PCG, Dark Sage and his goon squad, Jay, and Eyebrows. Way I see it, PCG has sprung Jay from jail, either because he's working for them or because of his grudge against Fanfic overall (This is more likely in my opinion.), and he is their 'decoy' while they send down another/more of their own in that spaceship to rescue Becca. So, while Jay (which Shuppet Master likely picked up on and sees as a potential threat to his boss' mission) has the Fanfic Mods occupied, PCG is on a rescue mission. And Eyebrows is likely indeed Andrew, or perhaps even Chris the Admin - he must be someone high on the food chain to see through PCG's parlor tricks.

So what does this all mean? The summary:

Fanfic: Is distracted by Jay
Jay: Is working for PCG
PCG: Has sent a ship down to rescue Becca and/or attack Fanfic
DS' cronies: Have picked up on Jay's and/or Fanfic's efforts and it's making them nervous
Eyebrows: Is onto PCG

That is all. Thank you.


Anyway, I'm done ranting. 'Bye now!

(runs)

[Gavin Luper]

Jay has Snivellus hair in panel 3! Hehehe and "It hurts" ... well ... that's obvious, you foolish escapee. Anyhoo, good page: I'm not sure if Jay actually does have some kind of secret weapon/back-up, but if he doesn't, I think he's deluded. Three mods onto one crazy guy - he's gonna lose.
