MSPAFA Chat Thread In... The Mysterious Mystery!

[Dragon Fogel]

I knew a guy whose pose count reached six digits.

Wow, that's a lot of poses.

How long did it take him to think up that many? I can only think of a few hundred!

[98714123340]

It's simple you count any slight variation as a pose. You moved your arm by 1 centimeter! NEW POSE!

[MalkyTop]

And considering the numbers of fingers you can hold up and in what order, that itself is a whole lot of combinations, isn't it? And then you combine that with how high or how low you hold them.

[Jovian]

wow through this whole discussion I never realized my post count has broken four digits

this is the most posts I've had on any forum ever, even

how on earth did that happen

General / comic chatting help a lot, as does maintaining (and suggesting to) adventures!

I SUSPECT THIS QUESTION WAS RHETORICAL THOUGH

[ProfessorLizzard]

I ask the same thing about my five digits, Jovi.

[OldManRupee]

I heard if you reach 90000, you get to learn the truth about Dr Brinner.

[curiousTerminal]

He just disappeared right at one hundred thousand. Nobody knows what happened.

3 digits gets you nothing
4 gets you secret mod powers
5 gets you demigod status
6 gets you ascension to a higher plane of forum posting.

[simon.clarkstone]

Yes.

EDIT: And as for this person's posting rate... how have I never heard of them? Is there some vast area of the forum I have never explored or something?

[Jacquerel]

Even the most cursory glance at their posting history reveals a great deal of time invested into the trollslum homestuck roleplaying section, if you don't hang around that area then obviously you wouldn't have noticed him or her before :P

[OldManRupee]

I don't venture there. Trolls the size of bears in there, or so I hear tell...

[Dalmationer]

They also have rainbow blood and can make people love them using just the psychic energy in one toenail.

Also I'm pretty sure that's where Haggisfarm hangs around. He's the guy that makes all the trol seasson music, I think.

(he isn't)

[Flyingphish]

Theres a forum thats been running for just over a decade.
A user there had so many posts it broke.

[Zombiitwo]

I don't really keep track of my postcount here, but on another forum I have 7k posts.

[Jacquerel]

I have more posts here than on the forum where I am God King of all That I Behold

although to be fair, despite that I still have second most total posts out of every member on that forum so it's a bit of a question of scale

[ArsenicNog]

Sorry guys. Actually posting is for squares. Registering and never coming back is the best thing to do.

[Epamynondas]

What if I already lived my days of posting glory and now just lurk in the shadows, awaiting for an opportunity to lay my hilarious insights down?

Do I get the sweet four-digit powers AND not being a square?

>Caring about post counts
>>>>>/b/

Oh wait, wrong board.

I feel like I don't post enough on this forum.
I only make .96 posts per day! ;_;

[Lankie]

I'm averaging 2.5 posts a day apparently.

Presumably I go to make a third post and then I mention Candlejack and ruin it for myse

[curiousTerminal]

You know, he may kidnap people who say his name, but at least Candlejack is kind enough to press the enter butto

[animatedBlasphemy]

Candlejack?
Jesus, quit using old memes newfa

[Phevnil]

I make very few posts. Very few posts over long enough still gets you a nice post count.

[GenTrigger]

This conversation:



Anyways, to spur on more productive conversationing~

Anyone else have to make certain compromises in their illustrative style to make drawing updates less of a hassle so you could actually get around to doing them easier? I ran into an odd one where the outlines in Cirrus's chapter were somehow demotivating me to just get in there and start doodling panels. After ditching them, I feel somehow liberated.

[MalkyTop]

I do that all the time, pretty much. Trev's bag is barely drawn 'cause I figure it's obvious it's there, and even if it is, I never draw all the pans and ropes and swords and shit tied to it because I did it a few times and then I couldn't be bothered.

...Although that's the only one I can think of right now, so I guess 'all the time' is an exaggeration.

Basically, I'm a very sloppy artist and after a while I decide that a poorly-drawn hat is 'good enough.'

[The One Guy]

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so the only times I really compromise on quality are when I don't catch a mistake until after I finish drawing it and don't feel like fixing it (and even then it still bugs me). That's probably part of the reason I update so rarely.

Edit:
This example from my latest update exemplifies what sort of mistakes I let slip past:

• The perspective out the window seems to suggest looking down and to the left rather than straight out, but by the time I realized this, I had already drawn most of the neighborhood and would have to redraw everything to fix it.
• The curtains look like foam rolls rather than curtains. Granted, they kind of looked like that in the game that this window was based on, but it still looks weird. I don't feel like redrawing them though.
• The light coming from the streetlight is not centered on the light, but I didn't notice that until after I posted.
• On the left of the right pane of the window it shows the thickness as a perspective inward when it shouldn't (the viewer is looking straight at the window, so the point of perspective is in the center; it should do the same sort of thing I did on the left side of that bar), but, again, I didn't notice that until after I posted.
• The windows, door, and garage door of that far house don't seem to quite match up with the established perspective, but that's yet another thing I didn't notice until after I posted.
• The curtains were drawn as if one was looking from above, yet the window was drawn as if one was looking right at it, but it's just one more thing I didn't realize until after posting.
