It gets worse. Not just the word "plot", but all its derivatives too, like "plotting your escape". The word "plot hole" is irreversibly ruined, "plot device" slightly less so. There's also a peripheral device called the "vector plotter". In some cases "flank" is also used (erroneously) in this form, which makes various instances of "flank speed ahead" and "flanking the enemy" quite humorous.

All in all, this is quite the exquisite fandom.

edit: I also have this image for the phrase "defeated by the power of plot"

Eh, I think I actually prefer having that double meaning. Not to mention it makes the perfect animation counterpart to "I read it for the articles.".

Hey, Kaijyuu, did you lock your penguin thread over on B12? I'm just asking because Toady usually posts something if he does the locking.

Kaijyuu Thu May 03, 2012 3:14 am

Wasn't me. I think capntastic did.

And I swear I didn't intend to destroy the penguins D: Just thought it'd be fun to have a counter meme "rebellion," which didn't take off but did spawn lots of "omg y so srs" comments and killed it.

Ah. Yeah, I think the overreactions are what doomed it. Seriously folks, do I have to type (THIS POST NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY) at the end of everything?

Also, why do people who are anti-pony feel the need to post those feelings in a thread started by a friggin' brony? And I'm not referring to the silly, lighthearted thread-related type of comments. Seriously, I keep pony out of every other thread not pony-related, and I really don't see any pony postings anywhere else on B12 by anyone else except in the 4-5 pony threads, and yet folks are still butthurt about it.

Bah.

Sorry for the impromptu rant, needed to get that off my chest.

Apparently some people just don't like that someone else could possibly get joy from something like ponies, and the very thought is enough to drive them to rather unnecessary anger.

**Flying Dice** Thu May 03, 2012 6:56 am

There were far too many people taking that thread seriously. Talk about creating drama out of jokes.

Necro910 Thu May 03, 2012 7:34 am

Ahem...

Johuotar Thu May 03, 2012 9:07 am

are wtf. Penguin thrrad locked for no good reason. GG WP.

O is capntstic moderator? I thought only toad and threetoe are.

Kaijyuu Thu May 03, 2012 9:28 am

I seem to vaguely recall him threatening to close a topic before, and he was one of the last posters in mine, so...

It's too big a forum to be as well moderated as it is by just two people. I'd be shocked if they were the only ones with general mod powers (otherwise forums like this one would have a higher mod count).

**Flying Dice** Thu May 03, 2012 4:05 pm

I actually had thought that they were intentionally keeping it to only the two of them, but it wouldn't surprise me if a couple people were given mod powers without telling anyone.

Was reminded of the absurdity of a solo raid on a village in M&B. How do 70-80 people live in five single-room huts, anyhow?

**Slag** Fri May 04, 2012 7:30 am

It's easy enough, really. I've seen a good 20 immigrants living in a house of less than 750 square feet before. I'm not sure how they manage, but it's how they live.

Until some bloke wades in with a one-handed sword and a warhorse.

This show has redeemed everything I hated about it.

Lex Luthor gives his best line in Justice League:

It makes sense in context. No, really. It actually does.

Except that most of the huts in M&B are closer to 150-200 square feet, and going by the population that turns out to defend, you're talking about at least 17ish people per building. In either case, still not as absurd as doing laps at a gallop around the village, holding my sword out at neck height.

There are probably more houses outside of the main collective area.

Except that even if you go to the edges of the battle map, you won't see more. I mean, I know they couldn't put in a full village for every single one of them, but they should really tone down the number of peasants to match. Meh.

I mean farther than the battle map. Anyhow, I see your point.

Also: My wrist no longer feels like exploding! I can finally type (albeit slowly) with it
