So was Hitler, though.

...and with that, this thread has officially been Godwin'd.

Only thing that happends officially is another proof somebody doesnt know what Godwins law is.
Check it out on Wikipedia, its described nicely there (well, at least last time I've checked).

--- Quote from: Prince of Space on 01 Jun 2010, 07:04 ---I would've liked Marigold to woman up and ask him why she's SO great. She hasn't done anything particularly awesome. I could count on both hands why she's kind of a bother and on one hand why she's awesome. I know she's a fairly recent character, but c'mon Angus. Give us a little insight. Maybe he's just laying it on thick to make her feel better.

Err lol.
She's so great because she's a freaking attractive young female gamer.
Red brilliants are much more valueable than other kinds of diamonds, despite looking like a rubin, because they are so freaking rare.
So are skilled and dedicated gamers who are (a) attractive (b) young and (c) female.
That doesnt mean I'm her fan, though. I'm still with the Hanners crowd.
--- End quote ---
First of all, attractive girl gamers aren't nearly as rare as you think. ; )
Secondly, diamonds(i.e. rare things) are only 'valuable' because certain people put value on them. Like you for instance. You think attractive gamer girls are valuable. The rich guys that come into my coffee shop would rather have a tall, vapid blonde. So, it's all in the eye of the beholder really.
The point I was trying to make is WHY is she such a great person to Angus? His words fall flat if he can't back them up with more than..."Uh...you're a great looking gamer girl!", you know?

As I wrote in the posting you quoted, I'm not a Marigold fan, I'm a Hanners fan. And Hanners has nothing to do with the women I'm attracted to in reallife. First of all, because I never met anyone remotely like Hanners. Dunno how I would react to a reallife Hanners.
Err, I know many attractive young women who GAME but none of them do it in a degree like Marigold. Most women I met in MMOs had been 30+. I dont play WoW though, maybe its different there.
I'm pretty sure you wanted to write brilliants, not diamonds, there. For diamonds are very very useful, so much that one produces them artificially now.

--- End quote ---
Um, I dont think that still can happen in the 21. century.
Not in europe and the USA, at least.
Losing your girlfriend / wife, ok. But not losing your political career. Well ok, at least as long as you're right wing politician. Left wing politicians often have something left that's called a conscience, and that will be a problem in such cases.

(Cough) GARYHART (Cough) BILLCLINTON (Coughcoughcough) JOHNEDWARDS (COUGH)
--- End quote ---
Hmm.
I dont know Gary Hart nor John Edwards, but Bill Clinton was exactly the guy I was thinking off when writing that comment ? Only problems he got was because he didnt wanted to discuss his private life with the public so he lied about that in court. Personally I think that should be allowed, or even better this kind of question should be disallowed in court.
akronnick:
From the looks of Jeph's twitter and the Ustream feed, it seems that everyone in the QC Universe is going to turn up at Faye's party.
This could be the beginning of a wild story arc, or the set up for the apocalyptic disaster that finally ends QC.
I wonder if it will be a natural disaster that takes out Northampton, or the revolution will come and Faye and Dora will be the first against the wall, or maybe it's Zombies.
I'm hoping for Zombies!

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 01 Jun 2010, 12:38 ---TAG, Marigold did lend Hanners her anime and did invite her over for a movie, even if it took Momo's translator unit to figure out that it was an invitation.
--- End quote ---
True, but its still Hanners taking an interest / participating in Marigold things with Marigold, rather than Marigold making a real effort to do something with Hanners that Hanners likes.
--- End quote ---
That's a pretty selective way to remember it. From where I'm standing, Marigold was trying to be altruistic in lending her the entire series of her manga. I'm not much of a manga collector, but if anyone asked to borrow $200 or up in reading material of any stripe from my personal collection, I'm not sure I'd let them do it. Considering this happened not too long after Hanners freaked out on her, something she opted not to hold a grudge over, I'd say she's more than capable of being a nice person. She's just only now discovering that her hopes and desires involve other people on an emotional level, and this kind of revelation invariably leads to one acting selfish and not realizing it. You have to crawl before you walk, and you have to walk before you help old ladies cross the street.
