Murphy's Law 9: Contents Under Pressure

My professor responded saying to write instead about why the plants died. Thanks for the support guys.

Excellent. Now you need to find out why they died. How deep down the rabbithole do you want to go?

Great! So the project isn't ruined, from the sounds of it, even though the plants are dead. Unless he wants you to take into account the Butterfly Effect. That would be just evil.

Drought probably I was really sick for a bit and I doubt my group did what they were supposed to.

Ah yes, the joy of counting on other people who you barely know to help you earn a grade. I've got a group project too this week; we're not progressing as quickly as maybe we should.

[Athedia]

I hate group projects. And as embarrassing as this is to admit, I probably would have put more time into this one if it had been with someone I knew or by myself. Like with Computer Science projects, for our programs I really like the guy I usually work with and since we like to challenge ourselves we get along great so we do more work. It doesn't hurt that he responds to emails within a couple hours.

Maybe we should return to Murphy's Law before one of the mods gets difficult? I love thread derails as much as the next person, but if this thread gets closed Coffee will cry. And we don't want that, do we?

Exactly. The "failure is an option" line is from Mythbusters, it means that even if your result is, fails catastrophically, well, thats a result! At that point, explore WHY it failed, and what to do differently.

Yeah. We need to figure out what to discuss, though, since the latest one has already been talked about for a good while. Hmm...

I suppose we could always make some theories and predictions while we wait. Personally, I think that while Serrin is waiting, Janine is off crying, Radic is searching for Janine, Tinder is nowhere to be found, and Lloyd is still hanging out in his room (basically the party is entirely split up), the assassin hired by Rust will show up and attack one of them. Personally, I'm guessing it will be Janine who gets attacked.

Well, either that or Janine/Radic comes across the throne room while the assassin attacks Prince Riley.

Well, I'd say it's afternoon by this time. I'm so sorry about all the delays, everyone. But I bet it's meaningless at this rate now, isn't it.

[Mutant Sheep]

Apologies are only meaningless if you make them so, Coffee.

[SamBurke]

Apologies are only meaningless if you make them so, Coffee.

And even a placebo "it's coming!" is better than nothing.

[super dark33]

I am your eternal disciple twice Coffee, I'll wait what it takes.

[Lix Lorn]

And even a placebo "it's coming!" is better than nothing.

But, in a lesson that few games companies don't get, 'It's coming on X date!' is only good if it does.

And even a placebo "it's coming!" is better than nothing.

So, if we can convince everyone in this thread that the comic's updated somehow, we'll have an update?

Quick, everyone, pretend that the new comic has been posted!

[Crystalwind]

We understand, Coffee. Between that sickness and college, you've had your hands full recently. We can wait. Anyone who can't is to be fired out of a catapult into a volcano.

You provide us with a high-quality free service. My girlfriend is currently creating a webcomic, I know how much work it is. You're studying and I know how hard that is and I don't even do it well. You've been ill, I definitely know how hard that can be.

My point is, you have no need to apologise here and anyone who thinks you do is entirely unreasonable.

I've said it before and I'll probably say it again; don't worry about us, Cof. You do what you gotta do. Devmaar speaks truthfulness.

[Miopic]

lol I just had a funny random Idea, don't take this seriously because it is just a joke but you should make characters (maybe just somebody in the background, or people who have one or two lines) based off of your fans.

[Athedia]

Okay, so experiments Serrin should run. Use a horde of invisible servants to carry stretchers! Ambulance service :D

[BeethroBudkin07]

Hey, don't sweat it Coffee! You've been keeping a pretty good update rate as far as I know. If we need to wait longer, then we will. Just get better, and don't feel obligated to provide us with content, otherwise there's no fun involved for you.

The folks at Steve Jackson Games never discuss release dates for this exact reason.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Something's coming in the next few updates, that's for sure. The **** hit the fan in Kago, but who's getting splattered?

[PurityIcekiller]

Oh, crap (Yes, that was deliberate). That can't mean something pleasant is going to happen, can it.

[OoTLink]

Haha, yea like that's going to go over well. I'd guess either there's a fake Miles in town, or Rust is making heads roll heheh.

[Lycunadari]

I read the whole comic yesterday. I love it.

You mean you don't know?

[CoffeeIncluded]

Well, obviously I do.

All in one day? Impressive!

Anyway, welcome to the fan group, Lucy! We have... What is it we have? I was going to say chocolate, but I didn't get any free chocolate when I started reading.

Thank you, Lycunadari! I hope I continue to impress and entertain you.

Must've been a mistake, here's your chocolate.
