But Lying has to have a main part. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous!

To be fair, Lying has had quite a bit of the spotlight (not that he doesn't deserve it) But it would be nice to let someone else have a moment of fame.

[The Gremlin]

I reckon Q fits the character of Scrooge more than Lyinginbedmon does, though Lying allows more links with other characters. I vote for Q.

And Gremlin, really artistic quality counts for little in ABR so long as it's readable. The main factor in a good comic is that it's well written.

I know. So far, Q has ripped off quite a few OotS comics, and very few of his comics have been that funny. Lying's, on the other hand, have been well-drawn, well-written, and have updated regularly too.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I know. So far, Q has ripped off quite a few OotS comics,......

OBJECTION!

Which comics are you refering too?

[memnarch]

Like which OotS comics? I mean, mostly what I've seen is the SSBB stuff, which is pretty interesting.

[The Gremlin]

OBJECTION!

Which comics are you refering too?

Well, for one thing there was that one where Q says that he 'ran out of panels' which was also used in an OotS in DRAGON.
There's also many others. I'll drum up a list.

.

I bet Oots is the first comic to ever use that one. *nods*

I've never read DRAGON. I didn't know that.

And please, drum up a list. I'd like that.

[Shades of Gray]

Szilard is the main character of SDSB.

I'd say Keris and Rodriguez WERE the main characters of plot three. Before it died

I believe that Lying isn't THE main character. There are many main characters of FFF at certain times. For example BRC WAS a main character, as well as Kpenguin. But now, the people that stand out are Lying, Threeshades, and Salmon.

I wonder what other people consider Oliver as?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

I wonder what other people consider Oliver as?

Nothing personal Shades, but atm I just consider Oliver as a normal minor character, like the most of us. He hasn't really done anything to make him stand out.

But as a character he's interesting, strange, but interesting.

[Green-Shirt Q]

1) Szilard is the main character of SDSB.

2) I wonder what other people consider Oliver as?

1) point taken. Nobody cares about SDSB though.

2) To be honest, at first I thought Oliver was pretty dumb since it seemed like you rid Lying's coat tails with his backstory.

I actually like Oliver now. I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact I think he and Q would make great friends.

[memnarch]

Despite Q trying to blow up Oliver's ship.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Despite Q trying to blow up Oliver's ship.

That's what would make them such a great duo!

[The Gremlin]

Alright Q, I couldn't get a list, so the following spoiler consists of a long rant which name all your 'faults'. You don't have to read it if you don't want to.It's a bit harsh.

My mistake. I'd forgotten how few jokes you could actually make, period.
So perhaps I should name some other faults: You have frequently tried to get people to read your backstory rather than explaining it in-comic. You god-modded, as I've already said. You copy-past your artwork (which is, as I keep saying and as you previously said, 'cruddy'). You are never beaten, just convinced to stop. You constantly try to hog the spotlight by creating sub-plots and actual plots, and in the case of 'SW', without even making sure it would be popular. You also try to hog it by attacking people and, as I already said, being unbeatable (although you keep saying you aren't, you have been beaten only once before).

Please know that I don't actually mind you being Scrooge as long as Lying is not just some minor character. Since this 'plot' is basically a reflection of all the other plots, and Lying is a main character in the main one, and one of the first ABR-ians, it just makes sense for Lying to be a main character. Please note that I say 'a' rather than 'the'. I believe that Lying is most suited for the role of Scrooge, but I don't mind Q playing it since he is well suited as well.

[Nameless]

I accedently posted in the wrong descussion thread. :P

Kev, I didn't really get your comic. D:

[Green-Shirt Q]

Unbeatable am I?

[T-O-E]

Well, for one thing there was that one where Q says that he 'ran out of panels' which was also used in an OotS in DRAGON.

I can't even count the amount of times I've heard that joke before. Not a copy.

You copy-past your artwork

...

[chriky]

1) Who are Want and Ignorance?
2) I think The Q should be Scrooge, nameless should be christmas yet to come and Tiff should be Belle
3) I think someone should draw an ABR christmas advent calender.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

and Tiff should be Belle

My knowledge of Christmas tales is limited to a fat man with a sled.

Who's this Belle?

[Lyinginbedmon]

I think Lying would do better as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

For one, he's been dead at least twice (Once in ABR, at least once in Remember).

For another, he is of course the most historically knowledgable character.

And lastly, Scrooge lost the meaning of Christmas (Which, yes, could be seen via Lying's loss of Arcania) but! the meaning of Christmas is togetherness, which Lying has. He has two daughters after all and is doing his best to keep everyone around him safe and sound.

One possible idea is that the child at the end of the story is GSQ, though Scrooge's ailing accomplice could also be GSQ. Having GSQ as the child Scrooge hires to get turkey seems like it would suggest a further story after the affair.

[Keris]

Want and Ignorance are two small children who shelter under the robe of the Ghost of Christmas Present, representing the major causes of suffering in the world.

Belle is the woman Scrooge once loved, before his love for money turned her away.

EDIT:

I think Lying would do better as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Well, if Lying's dropping out, this means that Q is Scrooge, correct?

[chriky]

I'm pretty sure she is the one that scrooge used to be in love with.

WHOOOO! Not even Lying wants it! I win by default!

In your face, Lying!

[chriky]

WHOOOO! Not even Lying wants it! I win by default!

It would be wrong if it wasn't you, because lying is the kind old guy, where as you are the grumpyish stubborn old guy.

[Lyinginbedmon]

WHOOOO! Not even Lying wants it! I win by default!

In your face, Lying!

In my face? I honestly think he'd do best as the GoCP, and just said that myself.

Therefore it's more "Out of my mouth" than "In my face"

[Green-Shirt Q]

It's a joke. I tried to make a joke.

However, according to Gremlin, I don't make a lot of jokes.

He's just a child, don't be too harsh on him.

If you're inclined, could you write down the problems in my comics, so I can correct them ? I think there's something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

[chriky]

Is Keris updating the last table or is he gonna make a knew one.

[Keris]

So so far we have:
A ? by the name indicates that they haven't agreed to it yet.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

I suppose I'll apply for the spot as Belle, gotta do something to get the damned holidays over with. Worst time of the year.

@v - Does he also only have 1 eye?

[Mad Mask]

Perhaps my character can be Fred ? He's cheerful, optimistic and kind-hearted, just like my avatar.
