Some people are acting as though Faye asked Pintsize to track down Gina's address and send her a bomb in the mail.

As for "she's not behaving with poise and maturity" - who maintains their perfect poise when they're angry, and especially when they're angry and hurt?

Personally I think she's doing this the right way, she realizes she's angry and venting that anger in a non-destructive, fantasy way (unless you're ready to believe QCverse is facing an impeding robot revolution...) instead of taking it out on someone around her. I think the main reason she asked Pintsize to google Gina was to see for herself what she looks like.

Thank you. I had written the same thing in another thread.
Man we all love QC because the characters all seem real. But then people get really angry when the characters actually behave like real people

Border Reiver · « **Reply #52 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 05:10 »

Dora I believe you may need to reassess Faye's paygrade and position at CoD. She's showing some management potential here - the ability to delegate tasks.

kurzon · « **Reply #53 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 05:20 »

"I want her to be first up against the wall when the robot revolution comes" has got to be the mildest thing Faye could ever do to anyone in revenge. It has no impact on Sven. It has no impact on Gina. It probably gives Pintsize the chuckles.

Unless you think the robot revolution is really going to come.

Not that I'd say no to that...

woah, she has a blog?
http://countrysuxx.net/

So, for all you who say Faye's doing harmless venting, if, over the next few weeks on the blog we see stuff like—

AnthroPC I never saw before threw a dog turd at me today
Icemaker in hotel broke down today. Lots of little round footprints
Tire spiked on the van. Third time this month. Still all those little footprints around it
Took me forever to convince the rental people I'd had the equipment trailer for fifteen weeks, not fifteen months
Every time I walk on the street I swear I hear someone saying "There's the country-whore." Got to get more sleep.
Went into the studio today. The backing tracks on the server for "He's hunky (but I'm chunky)" now sing "Slut-monkey" in 16-part harmony.
Every day there's some glitch in this track. Wish I'd never got the lyrics for "He's hunky" from that Bianchi guy.

Well, you can all 'fess up to your lameness.

Sooner or later, we all feel excluded, Mali. Grow from it.* Meanwhile, I think any modification of Hanners can only result in improvement. Though I wonder how the Roomba's gonna do that without hands.

*Edit. Sorry. That was snarky. But I'm so very happy to have the poll back. Let's all try to refrain from grousing about it for a fews weeks, at least.

About the robot revolution...

I believe the first ones against the wall will be the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

I'm sure Jeph agrees.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #62 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 11:42 »

Typical reaction. Don't feel mad at the person who hurt you, no. It is completely reasonable to be mad at the person who had no intention of hurting anybody.

YES. I was at least hoping for more than just Sven's twitter image.

But I was amused by the cute kitty pictures.

Dagdason · « **Reply #64 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 12:58 »

I think that if there was a robot revolution, a unanimous consensus would be made by the Anthro PCs to make HK-47 their patron God.

That or the Terminator...they'd probably find Arnie and actually turn him into one. That'd be absolutely terrifying.

assface420 · « **Reply #67 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 17:11 »

I guess I can understand why Faye would focus her anger onto Gina. If she really cares about Sven and whatever they have together, she would find it hard to be mad at Sven (even though it's obviously his fault). It's a lot easier to direct her anger towards the innocent girl that "seduced" her man.

Milesb · « **Reply #68 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 17:19 »

I was actually highly amused to see that googling Gina Riversmith images brings up raoullefere's avatar picture on the second row. Wooo raoullefere! =D

Ahem. back on topic; Yeah she's just venting in an attempt to not kill Sven. I'm not sure if I want Sven to turn up and try and apologize (only to get his ass kicked) or if I want Marten to turn up and get his ass kicked, thus making Faye realize how horrible she is as a friend.

choices... choices...

I thought it had something to do with Laser Tag. But I could be wrong.

(Hmm, wonder if someone is going to reserve the domain of laserfight.org?)

Newbia · « **Reply #70 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 17:25 »

Admittedly, everyone secretly expected Sven to cheat on Faye. Thus it is harder to be mad at him, and easier to be mad at Gina.

Judging my Sven's reluctance to confront Faye, I'm going to say he's hiding in the corner of his linen closet with the lights off jumping at every little noise in fear of someone trying to attack.

As for the second option, Martin seems like the kind of guy who asks permission before he beats up one of your ex's.

muffmasta · « **Reply #72 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 18:55 »

Yeah, I hate when people do that "blame the innocent party because I don't know them" thing- happens all the time.

Fay, although as right as she is to be pissed off and hurt, should also be glad that he told her without trying to hide it or sleep with her first. It would have hurt so much more if this had happened, when she finally did find out.

Golani · « **Reply #75 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 20:50 »

I can believe Faye's anger, as I had it towards my ex's boyfriend. Whilst I could never harm my ex (physically), I wish i could pummel her boyfriend. but nope, I gotta be better than him, and that includes not stealing someone from him, even if he stole her from me.

Anyway... I sometimes wish that there was a robot revolution, seeing who would sacrifice themselves for another.

As for the poll, definantly the cyborg lesbian, I know that is the most far fetched, and that jeff would never do it. That is why I would like it to be made.

There are 20,000+ registered users in the forum, though not all are still active of course.

Common wisdom on such things is that <10% of readers ever bother posting.

So if everybody did actually buy the song, we could very possibly chart it.

Anyway, pre-emptively saving the poll results NOW.

Quote

Faye spends too much time alone, becomes emo.    11 (8.5%)
Sven goes into denial and emotinoally removes himself from his sex life.    22 (16.9%)
Dora pisses Faye off by not being concerned enough.    9 (6.9%)
Marten sides with Sven, and eventually moves out.    13 (10%)
The roomba slips into Hannelore's room and turns her into a cyborg lesbian.    75 (57.7%)

EDIT: Wow. Jeph's art is fan-diddly-tastic. Really.

Faye is not drunk!

Maybe this is progress and she's learning to handle her pain instead of knocking herself out to avoid it.

Or maybe that first statement should be "Faye is not drunk yet".

jeph · « **Reply #84 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 23:01 »

If my Project Wonderful stats are right, QC gets around 250,000 unique visitors on update days. So in reality less than 1% of my readership posts here regularly.

Option four on this poll makes me think of the old Seinfeld commercial about "Bear Week." Damned if I can remember what it was actually pushing. Anyway, after Penny's Perilous Park* incident, I can see Wil atoning by becoming a bear expert. Or bear dinner.

*Aliteration: the hallmark of a quality post. Though of what quality, we ain't sayin'.

Edit: Jeez, it was hell getting this to post. What I get for trying when the new comic went up. Anyway, let me be the first to point out to all familiar with Elizabethan culture the double meaning 'asshole cod' could have. Yeah, I know it's not exact, but it still amuses me.

Too bad Martin isn't a Time Lord so that his previously severed hand can regrow into a half Time Lord/half human mortal version of himself to leave with ~~Rose Tyler~~ Faye.

Though, Pintsize is about halfway between a Dalek and K9...
