Murphy's Law (Thread 2!)

[CWater]

If you want beaches, there are better places. How about the Southern Islands?

Beaches are fine, but actually I like cliffs and rocky places more. They inspire my artistic side. I also prefer cold to hot temperature. Yeah, I get odd looks when I say that...

But, as I said, as long as there is sea nearby and the wind blows at least occasionally, I'm happy.

Okay, look for the zipper; it should be somewhere in the back...

Hey, guys, hhm...Would I sound like an attention whore or a jerk if I voiced my desire to have a TvTropes page on Murphy's Law? I mean, it would be pretty cool...

Okay, now I've finally got to ask the question that has been bugging be for some time, and I'm aware that I might sound somewhat oblivious, but...
What the heck are those TvTropes? I have been linked there every now and then and it has been fun to read, but what's it's purpose?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ah, non subtlety. so fu-
Update.
On a tuesday.
...
(Shakespearian death)

...Anybody got a Raise Dead?

Guess what? This is what my schedule is going to be during the summer!

Ooh, you'd like northern Kago then.

Essentially, TVTropes is a collection of cliches. XD

I think you're a... uh... thingy, under a glamer, from the Jennifer Morgue by Charles Stross.
(Mentioning THIS will get you shot.)

...huh. Don't know what a shakespearian death is? XD
Well... it's an ending of sorts... one that you find most commonly in 18 rated romance... that enough information? XD
Shakey used death as a metaphor for it. So did many people, actually...

[John Cribati]

It involves "nothing."

I know what is is. I've just never heard that term for it. (Similar, but not that term).

Now let's get back on topic before Roland starts shooting.

[Draconi Redfir]

It's Poke-week!

upon seeing this i immidietly started looking for a moemon of one of my favorite pokemon (Ralts, Kirlala, Gardivour, and/or Gallete) but then i found this one, and its adorible (having a bit of trouble getting it to look right though, sucks.)


but back on the topic of the webcomic, i now want info on some of those traps Matt/the elf set off... mostly so i can throw dire weasals at the undead players i'm gunna start a campain with :P

[Lix Lorn]

Adorable has another a in it.[/pedant]

Hmm... that elf's gonna come back, isn't he?!

[Lycan 01]

I'm personally hoping for a female elf, so that Matt is torn between his hatred of elves and his pervy nature. Plus, Tinder needs an object of affection and/or his own personal stalker, too.

Uhm...I honestly didn't think about it...Maybe a pressure plate of some kind?

But...It's an elf! How will we know if it's a girl?

[Draconi Redfir]

rule of sexy?

[Lycan 01]

I dunno what it is, but its worth a shot.


But seriosuly now, are you gonna make the elf character androgenous, or was that just a V joke?

The secondary sexual characteristics of elves are much less apparent and much more subtle than those of other humanoids. That's not to say that every single elf is androgynous, but the overwhelming majority is pretty much androgynous. Take a look at Alvis from this comic.

[Lycan 01]

Hm. I assumed Alvis was a dude.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Hm. I assumed Alvis was a dude.

I don't know what sex Alvis is.

[Lix Lorn]

It is far more amusing than it ought to be that the author doesn't know. XD

[Draconi Redfir]

when in doubt, flip a coin!

*flips*

...its male.

[Lix Lorn]

There's only one way of doing this.
(Snaps fingers, becomes elf)
I'm going in. Someone get me my love potions!

[Kumo]

But...It's an elf! How will we know if it's a girl?

it's gender will be apparent and it will be shunned because of it.

i found yous some luve poshons... but i eatted it...

[Lix Lorn]

Whole new meaning for the word sexism, eh?
...

Did I just say that?


Those potions took ages to make!

My Cohort will be furious.

[Grim ranger]

*flips*

...its male.

What if the coin lands on it's edge?

But anyways, I liked the latest comic. It seems there will be no end to Bad Stuff(tm) Matt can be put through within remarkably small timeframe. Of course it serves him right, but still...

Waitwait. Serves him right... for?

[Closak]

At least he's not Black Mage...

So it could be worse.

...Matt VS Black Mage, who is the bigger Butt Monkey?

So far the title goes to Black Mage.
He also deserves it more.

Speaking of Black Mage, Sarda says hi...*Millions of arrows come flying out of the fridge*
Ouch.


So how long will it take for Matt to do something idiotic again?
Maybe get an angry mob after him?
Try to steal from the wrong person and get his ass kicked for it?

[Lix Lorn]

Maybe he'll challenge Black Mage to a 'Who's the Bigger Buttmonkey' battle, and win when BM miraclulously HITS with a hadoken? XD

[Draconi Redfir]

My Cohort will be furious.

umm... why am i suddenly getting the urge to tackle eavrything and eavryone around me?



ehh, mats not so bad. he just dosent like pepole calling him matthew, and he just happens to not be a very good theif.

[Lix Lorn]

You drank several love potions. Duh.

Yeah, Matt's a little chaotic, but he's no worse than Haley. He doesn't deserve this.

[Asta Kask]

What's this about deserve? If people only got what they deserved, the universe would be a very different place.

[Lix Lorn]

...touche. DXD

[John Cribati]

Am I supposed to add the tropes all by myself?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Yeah, Matt's a little chaotic, but he's no worse than Haley. He doesn't deserve this.

Matt's unluckiness comes in waves. Also remember that the scene in the last panel took place several years ago. He did eventually pass that test.

Also, if you think Matt's unlucky, I'm playing in a PBP game here, and I've rolled a natural one in every single god-dammed post.
