Yeah... I totally forgot that work success = being a stable person.
Cool story bro.

Hey folks, don't stray into exchanging insults.
* Having strong views, or views that you disagree with is not what defines a troll.
* Expressing what I might describe as "a protestant work ethic" does not make a troll either.
Please accept differences of opinion or viewpoint, and either express your disagreement in a neutral manner or present a reasoned argument in favour of your preference.

Ok, fair enough 6 weeks was probably too much, but my point was similar. If someone did that to Hannelore they'd probably be seen as a bad person or something similar by most of the forumites, maybe iin part because of how popular Hannelore is. I still find the behavior kind of questionable, especially given that she isn't even offering to spend time with Marigold or something similar.

I have to disagree; while limiting Marigold to 3 days of no games may seem harsh to you, dumping dirt on hanners' floor is by no means similar. For one, that's Hanners' LIVING SPACE you're destroying. I'm a game freak, too, and not a neat freak, but I could easily survive the temporary game ban by, y'know, doing something ELSE as a hobby because that's what I'd need to do; dumping a bunch of dirt on my floor and telling me I'm not allowed to clean it for weeks would get you a colossal "WTF" from me, and at best a ban on ever coming over.
Also, since when is Hanners Marigold's friend-agent? Is Marigold so crippled by her shut-in nature that without her videogames, she is so helpless to require Hannelore to fill that time herself? She has her Yaoi, she has TV, and, oh yeah, she has new friends she could go see at CoD. She even has an Anthro-PC with her well-being in mind and her own personality. That in itself out to be more than enough interest for 3 days' worth. The punchline was played just fine if you ask me. ;)
Is it cold in here?:
Hannelore's jobs are not difficult to find out about. They're documented on the wiki, with links to the strips that introduced them.

This has all been discussed in my other threads, the "Marten has no goals" thread and "does Dora really need therapy" thread. I won't rehash those topics here, but yes, a loser in my eyes. He seems to be improving as bringing back the band is something.

Actually, if I may, the "Does Dora really need therapy" thread you're referencing began and ended with the same thing as is going on here - you believe the forumites think Dora needs therapy for dumping Marten, while the forumites collectively (back in that thread) suggested instead that it was for her insecurities that overtake her more rational thought processes. (Although I have to admit I'm curious as to why, if you didn't want to rehash those topics, did you bring them up out of the blue? If people wish to revisit them, they're free to, but it need not be revived here. ;) )
Back on topic, though, I do personally find it fair to have a character, who may have a more personal involvement, to be the one to talk to another character about an aspect they would like to change. Hanners is very much aware of Marigold's desire to be out with other people, and accepted. She knows Marigold would want a boyfriend based on her words and actions. Hanners knows what being the odd one out is like. If anyone is to be delivering that punishment, Hanners is that person; whether or not that punishment is needed, now that could be a matter of opinion. :)
