You know Wooz. I just lost almost all my respect for you. Seriously if you read the first chapter then tell me that again...
Ok I know what's going on. I've had a similar problem in the past where people I know and trust have recommended things to me such as webcomics. I've sworn they're worth reading to them, but then never bothered to actually read them do to the fact I already read many and I don't want to lose time to other activities. I realise the people in this thread that won't read it just probably can't be bothered to skip other alternate activities and I've done the same in the past.
Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller
P.S.
Is everyones opinion of the art based on the picture on the intro page? If so then I agree the face is messed up, but oddly that never happens anywhere else in the art.

Whining? What?
And no, it is not the "end of discussion", Wooz.
It might, however, be the start of a new one, even if I end up being the only one speaking.
I am not going to bring up all the typical democracy/internet free speech bullshit- both because I know better, and because I'm not the only one who likes the comic. Is that against the forum rules? Not from what I can see here.
I don't care about your disdain.
What I do care about, and want to know is, why try and end the discussion? Could part of it be because I don't have enough posts to be taken seriously by you? That would be ridiculous.
-----------------------------------------------
So what IS the issue, Wooz? You're a moderator; you're supposed to always have a legitimate reason. Let's try and get to the heart of it.
Forum Rule 7, maybe? Can't see anything else that even comes close to applying.
There's no "When a moderator says a non-rule breaking, perfectly in line topic is over, it's over- no reason required." clause anywhere, by the way.
Maybe you could bend Rule 7? Oh wait, I could use that one, too.
Maybe I disrespected Big T and SuAside in my first post? Clearly Big T (It wasn't even aimed at you, brother) and SuAside were quite worked up over it. So, Rule 7 on them.
They took offense to my saying the viewpoint was asinine. Is that illegal? Doesn't look like it- but if that kind of statement is, what about SuAside? He proceeded to call me a judgemental ass, and to tell me to go fuck myself. Oh, and I apparently called him a bad person, don't know where. Rule 7.
-----------------------------------------------
Hey, Perhaps "trolling" as an explanation?
So, am I trolling? Was the first post disruptive? It wasn't meant that way, and wouldn't have been had those who were offended by it not responded exclusively to it, thus breaking Rule 7 of the forum.
However, by the definition, YOU just trolled, Wooz.
Deliberate attempt at disruption. If you REALLY wanted to lock the topic, you'd have DONE IT. The problem is, would you have had the justification?
If not, why reply at all?
-----------------------------------------------
It appears I've missed a rule. Could Montez's second rule- "Don't address posts towards other people instead of the subject at hand." possibly apply?
Does my first post do that? The entire post? I don't believe so, considering it sticks to the topic pretty well if one reads the entire text.
I will not deny that the beginning was addressed specifically, however.
Yet you clearly aimed your entire post, in a deliberate attempt to incite.
Did you simply think I wouldn't respond, Wooz? Either hope I'd be intimidated into not speaking, or just vat anything I respond with?
Interesting concept to ponder.
-----------------------------------------------
So here's a question for you.
Is this discussion, or perhaps just this post, headed to the vats, complete with an ever-so-amusing edited-in subject title? That'd be strange, I really don't think any rules were broken.
-----------------------------------------------
So, is me ostensibly "trolling" the reason you felt the need to post that, Wooz? If so, maybe you should take the classic approach:
Use the "giving a moderator grief" clause in Rosh's ruleset and grant me a stupid avatar, plus a complementary trip to the vats. Maybe a strike, to boot?
Rest assured, I'll appeal it.
So. If there's any other reason for that post of yours, where is it in the rules? I don't believe I've done anything against them. Feel free to prove otherwise, or attempt to bring back the classics.
I see lots of topics in the Vats with replies that cite the rules. Could it be... this time... the topic that does so?
[If SuAside or Big T actually read this: I'm just illustrating points in this post. I don't wish anything bad on you guys- I admire people who defend themselves and their choices.]

ugh...Kan-Kerai said:
i checked 5 pages because i had no time to fucking waste, as said before.
in those 5 pages, i saw pretty useless dialog, flashy colors and very badly proportioned people.
it is not my style, so no thanks. there are plenty of webcomics i need to catch up on that ARE my style, so excuse me if they have priority for me.
if someone says he'd rather not play FO because he has no time & it doesn't seem to be his style, i'd let him. he'd miss out on what i believe to be an awesome game, but it is his choice of priorities.Kan-Kerai said:
if his priorities are based solely on looks, then yes indeed i'd say he has a bad set of priorities. however if he says he has other games lined up that seem to cater more to his tastes, then who the fuck am i to judge.
priorities.Kan-Kerai said:
if you grow up, you'll get to learn about them.
just because they're your friends doesn't mean they share the same priorities or even tastes as you do.The Vault Dweller said:
because this is leading us nowhere, obviously. (and quickly decending into a yes/no discussion, which pretty much equals spam)Kan-Kerai said:
tastes and priorities can be discussed for decades without reaching a conclusion.
if he was acting as a moderator here, he'd have made you shut up. it is that simple.
don't try to read the rules to moderators Kan-Kerai, it's usually not appreciated & surely wont be over something as moronic as this.
Kan-Kerai: don't whine. It's annoying.
Woozy: Objectively speaking, the art is badly proportioned, sloppy and inconsistent.
Subjectively speaking, I like its style. *shrugs*
I like the webcomic mainly because of its story and background, though, and I'm surprised that more people don't like a good steampunk setting.
Ah well.

Ah well.
i like steampunk just fine.
for instance, i follow a graphic novel named Le Régulateur (de Regelaar / the Regulator) by Corbeyran & Moreno. lovely comic.
but that doesnt mean i have to like all steampunk, right?

Compleatly correct suaside. If you do not like the comic then no need for you to read it.
It is all a question about taste. And people have different taste, it is that simple. If people disagree with your taste then that is their right.
It is also Suasides right to be indifferent to the comic based upon one look.
That was not the subject of the original post however: wich of the strips do people here think is their favourite girl genius strip? Still only thorgrim has been able to answer.
To spice it upp I can ask...wich online comic strip is your favourite? Not the collected comic by itself, but what page/strip in online comics out there has been your favourite so far?
And please keep it civil, if you think someones elses tastes are bad, keep it to yourself.

I know, I know. I got your drift the first time, as well as the lot of you which praise this comic. It's a matter of taste, and taste isn't much of a debatable subject, however bad another individual's taste may be.
That doesn't make the artwork look any less shitty.

Consider the following:
The depths of your solipsism are as amazing as they are confounding. There are parts of your earlier posts that I agreed with most wholeheartedly, and due to thas tenuous ideological alliance I now find myself wanting to take my own eye out with a melon baller.
No one's out to get you, man. Before tossing up straw-man slander like "subtle" allegations of post-count discrimination, I'd look a little closer to home-- your own self-righteous indignation, turtling conversational stance, and utter willingness to write a page-long response to a two-sentence statement of opinion are the breadcrumbs that should put you on the trail.
Some people don't like Girl Genius. Get over it. If Wooz had meant to do anything but display displeasure at your soapboxing (which even as a mod, I believe he's entitled to do), he could've. That's not the way it works around here-- they generally let you dig your own grave. I'd suggest you put down the shovel.
If you're some kind of magical fey creature whose life is tethered inexorably to Girl Genius readership like some sort of latter-day Dryad's Tree, I pray forgiveness, and you may continue.
Oh, and Alec, thanks for Minus-- I had missed that one, and I'm adding it to the list.
Awhile back, I was rather pleased to find XKCD. Hope I'm not the only one in the know, but if so-- there you go.

Idiot Comics
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Stivers
The Pain - When Will it End?
These are just the single strip ones, ie. the ones that aim at humour, rather than injokes and cliches. Not to say that I don't enjoy a few "story comics", regardless off their quality. A certain, rather bizarre, kind of loyalty permeates, whereby one starts to ignore the cons and concentrate on the Pros. Indeed, many become irrationally offended when others fail to ape their tastes, becoming abusive and angry at those whose taste does not entirely match their own.()

I rarely agree with Wooz, but seriously - I read the first like 10 pages (Like you recommended...) and I have to say that the webcomic SUCKS. I'd like to erase them from my memory and pretty much have.
As for a demonstration of some good webcomics, The Perry Bible Fellowship webseries is amazing, as well as a couple that Big T listed (granted, I haven't read all of them yet, but I'm willing to try).

Like who recommended? The first ten pages don't give a good impression of the quality of the overall comic.DarkLegacy said:
