ABR Discussion Thread MCMLXXXVIII: The Plot Pandemic

[V'icternus]

Liek I said, we don't stay on topic long enough to debate.

[The Gremlin]

See, this was supposed to be 'banter only'. So just DON'T MENTION PLOT THERE. It's that simple.

[X2]

I want to start reading CoN. Where's number 1?

[V'icternus]

We just mention whatever we think of... we don't decide anything that isn't posted here.

[Darklord Bright]

Incorrect. You guys debate without us. We can't reply to an argument.

Incorrect - we post things here for debate. As proven time and time again. And "Not mentioning the plot" at all is near impossible, because the conversation may drift there of its own accord. We still do not make important desicions without posting them here to be talked about, so both points are moot.

Check the Wiki in my sig, there's a comic archive in there somewhere.

The last art thread. If you go to the Novaris Wiki, there's a Chapter Log...

Clearly you haven't read the old Discussion threads. We never posted anything relevant.
It isn't near impossible, either. It's very easy. If you want to talk about the plot, post here. Otherwise, the IRC is pretty much replacing the Discussion thread.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

We never posted anything relevant.

Which is why we decided on the IRC.

The recent debate over Guinoids is a good example of all of this. It started in the IRC but It was brought to the discussion thread for people to actively discuss and decide on. The Abr banter was brought over to the thread, and the random chat ranging from dreams to half life 2 stayed in the IRC.

@v That

[V'icternus]

It's there to get rid of all the Random discussion. All the relevant discussion is put here.

No, it's not. It is that simple. You seem to want it to be though, and that's a different matter entirely.

The whole point of the IRC is to remove the off-topic stuff from this thread so that we don't need to make a new one every two days. It is doing that admirably. The "ABR discussion thread" is for ABR discussion, as it was intended.

[V'icternus]

Anything important is posted here, and subject to poking and prodding, just like always. And if you want to debate a point, jsut bring up apoint you think needs debating.

[The Gremlin]

Exactly. So just avoid the plot. Since the whole point of the IRC, as you pointed out, is to help out the Discussion thread. Just shut down anybody who mentions the plot (as in telling them to stop, not kicking them out or anything).

[Darklord Bright]

But we don't really mention the plot. We might bring it up once or twice, but we don't have huge discussions about it. Shut downs are not necessary. When someone starts talking about something important it is posted here for discussion. Is it really that hard to comprehend?

[V'icternus]

Are we all fine now? Yes? Good.

[The Gremlin]

Well, if it doesn't happen often, then it won't matter? I'm just saying, discourage plot talk in the IRC.

[Darklord Bright]

Well, if it doesn't happen often, then it won't matter? I'm just saying, discourage plot talk in the IRC.

And I'm just saying it isn't an issue. Just accept that and drop it, ok? Don't blow this out of proportion.

Tonights review: The Chronicles of Novaris Comic 1-25

"Oh my god this is the greatest comic I've ever read in my entire life! So there's this auction, where this top hat guy with four arms is selling a giant purple gumball!

Hooray!

But then these guards are like 'You must not sell this gumball!' and they attack! It's okay thought because we have outward opening doors on our side! The bane of all gumball hating guards!

So then all these people show up, like this tall one that looks like Imhotep and this short one that's a red goblin... sorry, Kobold! And then theres the ghost of christmas past! Except he's green! Must have had bad thai food, and he... or she... I don't really know, hangs around with this gold cloaky person called... Goldcloak! Original!

So there's fighting... and talking... and fighting. And then someone breaks the gumball! Noooo!

Delicious sugary goodness, it was not meant to be...

And inside the giant purple gumball was a giant purple ameoba! With googly eyes no less! I see giant purple googly eyes amoebas a lot. Y'know before I sober up. But then this one person, seals it up inside a giant blue bouncy ball!

What is this comics obsession with balls? Wow, that sounded dirty...

So then the gold cloak person and the sick ghost of christmas past are argueing and they're like.

'We should do something!'
'Should we do something?'
'We should do something!'

But then this one girl jumps out a window, and then this short guy jumps out the same window and then this tall guy is like 'Why is everyone jumping out of windows?' and I'm like 'Dude shut up! I'm supposed to point that stuff out!'

And then there's this group walking along a plains and they get captured and they come up with the best escape plan ever! One of them turns into an elephant!

That's inspired!

So two thumbs up for me for a wonderful read. This is Xartyve 2 Bum sayin CHANGE!!! You got change! Aww help a guy out will ya? C'mon change!

(Seriously though CoN was... pretty good if a little confusing)

I'm not the one blowing things out of proportion! I'm just asking that plot talk be discouraged!

[Darklord Bright]

I'm not the one blowing things out of proportion! I'm just asking that plot talk be discouraged!

Then why are you still talking about it?

[V'icternus]

We do. But we hardly need to. Nobody really talks about the plot, except, you know... general stuff.

*sniff*

That...that was beautiful.

[The Gremlin]

Then why are you still talking about it?

Why are you?
OMG

[X2]

What did everyone think of my review?

[Darklord Bright]

Why are you?
OMG

Stop proving my point, Gremmy.

Anyways, Xart, that was awesome. What do you think of my idea to start up a backstory for Bright?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

What did everyone think of my review?

It wasn't as good as the real thing.

[kpenguin]

You know what Grem, you're really upsetting me. I'm gonna go talk about it on the IRC.

[X2]

It wasn't as good as the real thing.

Of course it wasn't. No one can match Chester. Not even me!

[The Gremlin]

You know what Grem, you're really upsetting me. I'm gonna go talk about it on the IRC.

That's the spirit!
DLB: Okay, see, you aren't making any sense. You're using rather childish tactics.

[Darklord Bright]

That's the spirit!
DLB: Okay, see, you aren't making any sense. You're using rather childish tactics.

Listen, I've already pointed out that even after the argument, you keep trying to stretch it on, and what do you do in response? Exactly that! Seriously, I'm trying to save you from embarrassing yourself as much as I am trying to end the argument, but it isn't working, so I've had to outright state the issue rather than allude to it in the hopes that you get it...

HA! I love it.

...And strangely enough, I feel like a lot of that has to do with me.
