--- Quote from: Shogouki on 28 Mar 2013, 14:01 ---I think a lot of it probably comes down to the competitiveness in them. They both think of themselves as hardcore gamers and the way they first met could be interpreted by Dale as a throwing down of the gauntlet. ... I also kind of think that they've both been growing somewhat attracted to each other and neither of them seem to know how to express that in a healthy way.

Yup. I don't think Dale's been any more creepy to Marigold than she has to him. More sinned against than sinning.
He doesn't know how to handle a deadly opponent who's attractive. One who's super-competent too, foiling his Evil Genius adopted persona. That's not what s supposed to happen!!!
Neither does Marigold. She just squashes him like a bug. Teasing boys is fun..... but I don't think she's ready to think about that yet.

lurker jumping in, hi all!
Just had to comment on the Dale business. Personally I really like him! I agree with the comments that his conduct towards Marigold thus far has been a bit shady, but Marigold's to him has not exactly been a model of calm-tempered and well-adjusted interaction either.
I think the rivalry between them does have flirtatious undertones. Much like grade school children, gamers (myself being one of them!) are, at times, socially (and especially romantically)... lapsed. Not all of them of course, but a good percentage. I suspect this is the case for Marigold and Dale--who, again, as grade school children in terms of social experience, express interest in one another rather... bizarrely.
I'd also say it's just part of gaming culture. Playing with your friends often involves a significant amount of trash talking--it's all in good fun and is just part of the experience.
I think there is certainly Marigold/Dale potential but I also like the idea of them as ~just friends~. I'd love to see a situation where Marigold is trying to overcome her WoW prejudice towards Dale & get to know him, but continuously slip into WoW-inspired arguments. It'd certainly fit into the tsundere niche she seems to have filled.
Dale's habit of hanging out in alleyways is slightly alarming, though.
( back to lurking I go! )

As far as I can tell.

Two people can keep a secret, three are a crowd.
To be honest, I already find he is talking too much about the cuddling. Shouldn't he discuss it with the person in question first before telling half his circle of friends? Or at least keep his mouth shut completely until he knows more? It's only a question of time before Dora and Faye start discussing it in front of customers and/or Raven.
Oh, drama idea. Dale overhears it. And he knows Claire. Unspecified drama ensues :D

Is Second Life still a thing anywhere? All the interest in it which I saw (including an island for Oxford University) seems to have evaporated.

The same here.
What if something more intimate happened? Would he still discuss it with his evil exes? With many details and sucking noises? He doesn't seem to notice he's compromising Clair's intimacy as well. This really lowered his Good Guy Greg rating in my eyes. And then I've read the ballfarting joke...
