Everybody's horning in on my action.

[shiney]

"I approve of your choice of words" or "I DISAPPROVE of your choice of words".

[Ecks]

I am rather confused as to the nature of this thread. What exactly is its purpose? Do we just rip on Seil like we normally do or is this thread exclusively for you, shiney, to rip on Seil, as is also the usual case?

[shiney]

"This is a thread to make fun of Seil for his thread titles" or "this thread can become an NPF meme regarding Seil titles"

[Amake]

Hey, I just remembered I used to see a forum that had subtitles on thread titles. Kind of like what Seiltitles attempt, but cooler. Maybe we could have that here? If it can be done without effort? Make it easier for everyone to write Seilposts, and when you get a good Seilpost it's going to look as good as it deserves. Everyone wins. Probably.

[walkertexasdruid]

"I think Siel is really cool," or "Seil is a bad influence on me."

[Azisien]

"Mutually exclusive threads" or "What about And?"

[Darth SS]

"Seil is a fuckhead," or "Seil is a headfuck."


Huh...that second one is probably a better description...

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Man, you people don't get Seil thread titles. Also, OR I still pronounce Seil German. Because it's a German word and I don't care if it's supposed to mean something else

[Revising Ocelot]

Petitioning for Seil to be renamed Seal.

And be forced to have a seal avatar. Or walrus.

[greed]

So how do you pronounce Seil? Like Sail or like Seal?

[Ecks]

I could be extra douchetastic and say it's pronounced "SAH-yeel"

Yeah, I'm going with that.

(I actually pronounce it Sail, but whatever)

[TDK]

Most likely it'd be pronounced "syle", rhyming with "kyle".

Going by german pronunciation, anyway.

I always thought "seal" personally.

[Arcanum]

"It's pronounced 'seal'" OR "Seil always corrects us on TF2 when we pronounce it 'sail'"

[Seil]

Gosh darn it.

I made, like, two seperate threads in the RaiRO forums asking people to take each of their characters and write out the pronounciations of their names. (Sea-Ill) It turned into three pages of people writing down five or six names each. Now it's gone. Deleted in the great forum reshuffling.

Next time, Shiney. NEXT TIME! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_2_cJxYYhM&feature=related)

[shiney]

I forget who you were before you were Seil. I've always pronounced it Sail but now you will be Sea-Ill.

or

shut up ecks

[Seil]

There was a thread what where I ranted about being used as a Priest for my sweet, sweet heals, where Sam banned my puppet account and was like "Poetisch," you should be ashamed.

And then three or so years later, I'm still... well, I'm ashamed.

[shiney]

Yeah. Poetisch. I remember now.

[Seil]

Oh, stop the madness.

OR "When will it END!?"

[Fifthfiend]

I suppose this is still less annoying than when Seil decided "his thing" was posting shitty webcomics that barely had anything to do with the topic.

Not much less annoying, though.

Got lost in panel 2 of CAD somewhere a few years back.







HIYO

[Ecks]

Yes Seil, you are the only one who reads CAD. I can't get over Buckley's insistence on having only one facial expression (though I hear he's been better about that lately).

[Meister]

CAD is utterly worthless drivel with no redeeming qualities, although these days it's not so much the facial expressions as it is the fact that he's an incredibly bad writer who can't string either a basic plot or a 4-panel joke together, his characters are one-dimensional, his protagonist is a genuinely unlikeable self-insert, and his art is abysmal.

or
"I don't like CAD"

[Meister]

No, that would be an opinion, as opposed to objective fact.

I guess the "unlikeable" part might be a matter of opinion but it takes a certain kind of person to look at Ethan and go "that Ethan sure is an all-around nice guy."

Oh okay you're not actually trying to discuss, you're just parroting the "X or Y" format gimmick, thanks for clearing that up

[Geminex]

[Meister]

That what posting here is about, being "cool" by jumping on the latest trend instead of exchanging thoughts, opinions and arguments?

Cause turns out it's actually genuinely annoying to put a little time into making a point and have that turned into a silly soundbite automatically.

e: I'm sure one of you comedy superstars is already typing "or 'goddammit Geminex'" and chuckling at the cleverness and I'd just like you to stop and think about it for a minute.

[Betty Elms]

If you've got enough spare room in the annoyance-holding bit of your brain to take genuine umbrage over the respect granted towards your statements on webcomic quality, I'm quite envious. I was figuring the chief offense of this thread was just a comedy deficit.

But I mean shit, we all know CAD is bad, we all know the reasons its bad. It's not like you're tearing apart Calvin and Hobbes here.

[Meister]

THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW THE TRUTH :argh:

I mean yeah it is supremely silly to get worked up about webcomic criticism but I just can't help but look at low-effort posts and say to myself "sure now it's in a silly thread but it's catching on so much that it's just a matter of time until that shows up in more serious threads, then becomes ingrained in this forum's posting culture, and that would be terrible."

Or (!):

gimmickposting just gets on my nuts something fierce.

[Archbio]

I saw an XKCD strip a few weeks ago. Inserting murderous sociopathy (with a side order of silly hat, if I recall correctly) as a direct source of comedy into the comic somehow didn't make it less unfunny for me.

---

Gimmick posting is a noble art.

---

I'm not sure how to distinguish the objective fact of how sympathetically or unsympathetically a character is written as from the subjective experience of how much sympathy or antipathy one feels for a character, but somehow I feel as though this distinction exists.

[Geminex]

Well, given that the very purpose of this thread is gentle ribbing at seil's gimmick, I don't think anyone will be using it unironically. Or ironically.

If it does become ingrained, you can say "I told you so.

Or: We should have just discussed CAD"

Seriously, though Meister. I apologize for offending you and making you question the ultimate fate of this gaggle of internet dorks by keeping this silly gimmick thread on it's silly gimmick topic instead of discussing WHY a shitty comic is generally shitty.
Edit: and hey, it DOES take effort to be mildly pissed about pointless bullshit, so I guess this should satisfy you.

[Ecks]

There is entirely too much serious in this silly thread.

D-> You will stop.

I am somewhat ashamed of how long it took me to realize that. CAD sucks bad, and I think it´s biggest offense is simply having a very stupid plot with no actual humour.

[Seil]

Whatever happened to "if you can't say anything nice about something, don't say anything at all." Also, what ever happened to chuckling at a joke, or realizing the joke that the writer tried to make and chuckling at that?

I'm not saying that they should be webcomic of the year or anything, but I just appreciate a little silliness every now and again. Just like this thread.

[Fifthfiend]

Meister told me to tone it down, so I'm gonna tone it down. Bust is this 'cause of the LICD and CTRL ALT DEL comics? Am I the only one around who reads them?

Just the only one who enjoys them.

Whatever happened to "if you can't say anything nice about something, don't say anything at all."

Me.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Me.

Who's this douchebag?

[Ecks]

Who's this douthchebag?

FTFY

[shiney]

I think CAD would do a lot, lot better if the writer would quit laying it on so thick. He has decent punchlines, and then he goes on to explain the punchline or add in some LULZBROHUMOR or whatever. Like, the setup is that someone is gonna die, and then someone dies? Humor potential. Adding a character going LOLZ U GOT PWNED NEWB (or whatever) is where he goes wrong in almost every single comic strip he's ever, ever made.

or "How not to unfunny in less than one step"

e: how...not to un...I'ma leave it.

[Fifthfiend]

CAD would be a lot better if it stopped existing.

LICD would be a lot better if LICD weren't an ongoing hate crime.

Who's this douchebag?
