I guess I'll out myself as the other Kristin voter then. 99% for Hersh, and 1% because I like Tai, and know someone a bit like her.

For comic #1994...
1. Looking at strip numbers and timing, unless we get some Guest Strips or if Jeph is smothered to death by a large fluffy white dog, comic Number 2000 should occur on a Friday. Will there be something special? or some millenial-turning weekend cliffhanger? Guess we will see... :?
2. Unsurprisingly, as most also anticipated, Hannelore has recruited Momo to her "stern parenting" cause. It will be interesting to see how Momo will prevent Marigold from finding a video game "fix."
3. While it is likely that the next strip(s) will be Marigold trying to feed her addiction, I personally would prefer to see Marigold going out and doing other things to try and get her mind off her video games. Perhaps hanging out at Coffee of Doom (or even trying out being a barista for a few days!), or visiting SMIF Library, or running into Sven again, or getting some actual sleep, or something completely different (but outside her apartment). Plenty of humor angles that does not involve Marigold acting like a drug addict, which after this strip I think is pretty much what she has become :( .
4. Or on a darker theme, she could run into Dale, who tempts her addiction with his WiFi laptop if only she makes a WoW Alliance character and run a few instance-Dungeons with him and his guildies... But I was never particularly fond or interested in that story-angle (Dale vs Marigold) anyway, and this is coming from a WoW-player.
5. I would only approve of Momo giving in to Marigold's $30,000 bribe if the Mitsubishi PX-3500 chassis is the equivalent of a "theorhetically possible" chassis... :evil:

I like the angle of Marigold having addict-like symptoms after a day of the punishment. Like have her beat up Angus for forgetting to run the dishwasher.
Tova:
After the drama we've been through, it's quite enjoyable to read a story arc that just brings the funny.
Blackjoker:
If I miight make a point, it isn't like the others, save Hannelore, have done a whole lot to reach out to Marigold beyond the first initial time they had her come to the bar with them. One time while at Coffee Of Doom Dora nearly bit her head off when Marigold essentially said that the website was decent given Doras lack of formal training. Hannelore comes to visit but by and large most of the others aren't coming out to see her, hell part of why she might enjoy WoW is that she at least has some people on there she might enjoy hanging out with or at least playing alongside. (Hell, before I quit WoW the big thing stopping me was just that I'd miss a few of the friends I'd made, so we ended up swapping numbers and then I did end up quitting.) I'm just saying here that part of it might just be that they generally haven't given Marigold a reason to come and hang out with them. Hannelores thing might be 'for her own good' but I could say the same thing about spreading dust over Hannelores floor or telling her she isn't allowed to clean for six weeks, after all the dirt won't kill her. But I seem to be the minority opinion here, so meh.
