Re: D&D Demotivators Episode V: The Demotivator Strikes Back
So let's get back on topic.
Dunno if the challenge has been done, but let's try this one:
Odd Template use. Not necessarily powerful, just odd.

They renamed The Gilligan? Why has TV Tropes turned into a nest of Stop Having Fun Guys?

Re: D&D Demotivators Episode V: The Demotivator Strikes Back
They apparently rename everything to generic terms. When the name is a reference to something specific, it gets changed.

Understandable, but a shame. Those ones were my favourites.

Re: D&D Demotivators Episode V: The Demotivator Strikes Back
Heh. For the longest time, I thought "The Wesley" was named after the Buffy/Angel character. So, it might really be a lot clearer this way.

That's why it's only possibly suicidal. Retardant doesn't necessarily mean it will hold out forever, not to mention that all that fire seemed to have overheated his brain for a few moments there...
But then again this is Dan McNinja. The fire might be an indefinite non threat due to the sheer force of his moustache.

So how many dots is appropriate before it stops being an ellipsis and starts being the textual representation of "talking...really...slowly...with...long...pauses. ..in...between...the...words..."?

I'm the first to admit that I'm not an expert at at technical english but I was not aware that was actually a rule of grammar.
He was making a post complaining of the grammar mistakes and his own post was a big mess of misused punctuation. Hence the irony.
-
Re: D&D Demotivators Episode V: The Demotivator Strikes Back
Smilies aren't a rule of grammar either, but I don't think I've ever seen an ellipsis ever used to skip words or letters outside of a school paper or a quote box. On the internet, it almost always indicates a pause without breaking up a sentence.

My point here being that even the speech of a character who sucks at spelling is generally spelling-correct unless it is to denote an accent.
If you want, I can go back to my post and edit all the periods to random non-alphanumerical non-punctuational signs. :smalltongue:

Re: D&D Demotivators Episode V: The Demotivator Strikes Back
Just adding to the consesus: Ellipses officially are used to indicate omission of words while keeping original meaning. However, online and in dialogue they are often inteded to suggest that the speaker is trailing off for some reason, normally from losing their train of thought or some similar interuption, before they then continue.
