I'm betting it'd be super boring.
"FUCKING VASHJ'IR THIS UNDERWATER REPETITIVE SHIT SUCKS."

Hey you shut up about Vashj'ir, that zone is rad.
Besides, more likely she comes in dazed and muttering about "leveled Archaeology to 525...n-never again..."
--- End quote ---
You and the girlfriend are both all about that zone. Maybe it IS me. :psyduck:
Good lord, Archaeology makes me want to punch small defenseless stuffed animals right in the teeth.

You mean there's another kind of owl??? :-o

Jehovah's Witness owls. God, they're annoying.

goddamnit see this is why I stopped posting in these threads for years, the more I have to explain the most basic shit to some people the angrier and angrier I get

Welcome to the Internet, Jeph (as the saying goes on another site "The Internet Makes You Stupid").
What about the argument that Marten's behavior while drunk is indicative of some pretty deep running issues he needs to get sorted out (and the whole Nice Guy sub-argument here and in the characterization thread)?

No, not banned (not that I've got any such powers). And not in the least belittled. What you certainly have is our sympathy, for what little good it does.
It's clear that your "friend" went much further than Marten did, and had the size/strength differential been in Marten's favor, this incident could have ended much differently. In the comic, it didn't, Faye was able to stop him. It's also possible that, faced with what he was doing, Marten would have realized he was going too far, even in his drunken state.
While it's possible to play the what if game with fictional characters, your real life went in a different direction, and to be honest, your "friend" (and I use the term very loosely) was clearly no Marten. I'm truly sorry for what happened to you, it should never happen to anyone, and it clearly puts you in a different place than many of us when reading this comic. I hope you've been able to get some help for the trauma.
But Jeph is right about Marten and Faye. He has to be, they're in his head. The situation sucked, he was being a dick, it went no further. There is no alternate reality here, where Marten goes beyond the pale. We realize it wasn't your reality, either. Doesn't make you unwelcome, it's just more proof that in various ways, different for all of us, life sucks.
Well, parts of it.
The rest is pretty awesome, Keep trying to focus on that. I understand it can help.
