WAYF:
I can relate much more than I should to today's installment. :P
The question is, is that officially Marigold's name now? Marigold Louise Farmer? Or was Hannelore just making it up like Veronica was for Marten?
Method of Madness:
J, that's awesome. Also, I think this is the first time Marigold's last name was confirmed. (Sure, there's her twitter, but I'd assumed that was her making a WoW joke rather than her name being a WoW joke)
pendrake:
For comic #1992...
1. So now we know Marigold's full name is Marigold Louise Farmer. I wonder if her surname is intended as a pun, Mari-"gold" Farmer, like her WoW name is "MariGoldFarmer". But as a "normal" (whatever that term means) name, it is actually quite pretty.
2. For those unfamiliar: a "gold farmer" is the term for the parasitic scum of the MMO world (not exclusive to any single game either sadly) who spoil the enjoyment of an MMO game by trying to make RL money off in-game currencies &/or materials through various EULA-illegal and mass & automated player-harassing means. Were I ever to actually meet one in Real Life, I would beat them until a noticable quantity of their blood was spilled, pry their eyelids open, and spit in their corneas.
Then I might actually remember to get angry...
3. Sadly I have done what Marigold has. Sometimes via MMO play, more often with a book I have not yet finished for the first time through. "I will just read a few more chapters..." 15+ chapters and birds chirping at 0400-0500 later... :psyduck:
4. On an interesting character development note: I find it amusing and heart-warmingly ironic that Hannelore, who used to (and probably still does now & then) sleep over at Marten's on his couch, now gives the same service/concerns to Marigold on her couch. Especially with the previous thread posts about how the other QC cast are parental over Hanners. The "trickle down" effect, I suppose :wink: .
Tova:
You can't get much more parental than invoking someone's full name when they are in trouble.
Method of Madness:
In regards to number two, Pendrake, I actually had less animosity towards the gold farmers and considerably more for the gold buyers. Although that was before I read the part about automated stuff and harassing. So...fuck both groups, I guess.
