Hello everyone!

Now that I’ve reached my first tridecime (thirteen comics), I feel that I’m ready to introduce my webcomic to the Entropian community. If you don't feel like reading, skip this post into the survey and contest below.


The idea came to me one afternoon while sweating at Nea’s.
I was just about to cut my virtual wrists out of sheer boredom when I suddenly understood what was wrong with Calypso: it had absolutely no humor! (Nothing official, at least). I decided that, if people were being bored to tears, I should be the one to at least make them sneer.

Don’t think that I didn’t go looking for websites full of Entropian jokes.
I did find some, but they were desperately outdated! Every magazine had fallen into oblivion. And the very few comics I found were mere samples at best.

With so many stories of utter failure I decided to compromise on one comic per week. That way, I wouldn’t have the pressure of approaching deadlines and I could almost guarantee a steady stream of comics.

So, with that in mind, I built a website and made a few comics.
I first published a teaser on March 13th and decided to make a special one for today, June 13th. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about it suddenly becoming inactive. If I were to die today, the webpage would automatically publish one comic per week until the middle of July.

Anyway, I didn’t just open this thread to make some publicity (although that is mainly the goal), I’m also including a survey and a contest!
Read below!

Seven Deadly Sins Contest

The infamous seven deadly sins seem to be present in all of us modern human beings. But to what extent? Some are driven by greed or lust while being immune to sloth or gluttony.

Can you guess to what degree I’m possessed by sin?

To participate you must post a list with the seven deadly sins in the correct order, from top to bottom: top being the strongest and bottom being the weakest.

For instance, if you believe I’m a hopeless gourmand, a stuck up snob with a morbid desire for sex and occasionally for money too, but still calm, diligent and mostly satisfied, you would post this:

1. Gluttony
2. Pride
3. Lust
4. Avarice
5. Wrath
6. Sloth
7. Envy

The first to guess the correct order will win 1k EFDs!
Only unedited entries count, so think before you post.

If no one gets it right by June 20th 00:00 MAT, I will pick up the closest entry.
The closest guess will receive 111 EFDs for each sin in its correct place.

I hate math, by the way. So, instead of adding donations to the « prize pool »,
I will use them for future competitions. You’ve been warned.

(HINT : Pragmatism is but the hypocritical version of my worst fault)

hm not really my style in humor, but keep it up :silly2: the average webcomic artist quits after 14 strips ;)


also, a little fact error... The Atrox Egg = 10k PED not 100k PED :rolleyes:
 
LOL @ the blatant narcissist joke :)

i didnt get all of them... i guess they're not all that funny :)
Some are pretty good though so keep it up !
 
I didn't expect many people to understand ALL the jokes.
Maybe you understand them but they don't make you laugh?
I understand that too, as I am no professional comedian, really. :D

the average webcomic artist quits after 14 strips ;)

If I quit by next comic, I'll blame EF. :laugh:


also, a little fact error... The Atrox Egg = 10k PED not 100k PED :rolleyes:

According to Entropedia, it was bought for 10k USD (100,006.33 PED).
I took the reference from this page. If you have proof to the contrary, I suggest you sue them for misinformation. I will be the victim and witness. ;)

1. Gluttony

4. Avarice
5. Wrath
6. Sloth
7. Envy

That's exactly what I think. :silly2:

1. Gluttony
2. Pride
3. Lust
4. Avarice
5. Wrath
6. Sloth
7. Envy

That's exactly what I think. :silly2:

You just... copy/pasted... :scratch2:
I was thinking on puting the exact order in the example to surprise you all with a coup of irony, but thought better of it. :D

Nope that's not the order at all.

Second hint:
None are in that order.
 
1. Lust
2. Avarice
3. Pride
4. Gluttony
5. Sloth
6. Envy
7. Wrath

;)
 
You know, I just went out for a few hours to the movies and, now I checked, I found out that I got 1,000 views just today! ^_^
That's much more views than the whole trimester put together! :D


Anyway, the movie was "Angels and Demons". In the movie there's a lot of people speaking in Italian, Spanish, French, German and some Latin here and there. The movie was subtittled in Spanish and the actors kept explaining and translating.

To me, those explanations and subtitles were redundant but it made me think:
Maybe people don't understand my jokes because I don't give enough explanations?

This last comic is half English-half Latin. So... :ahh:
Quousque tandem abutero patientia vostra?
 
1. Lust
2. Avarice
3. Pride
4. Gluttony
5. Sloth
6. Envy
7. Wrath

;)

:laugh:

I think most who know me in EU would say that, yeah. :silly2:
However, my RL personality is distorted through the freedom of anonimity. ;)
 
That's super! :D

Though my German barely helps me to understand the page. :laugh:
(Yes, I know it's not German... but they have certain similarities)
 
People... maybe you didn't get it....

I'M OFFERING 1,000 EFDs!


Go check the Seven Deadly Sins Contest post in the front page.
 
I just found this today, and I love it lol :D Maybe I have a weird sense of humor :)
Love it, keep them coming!

Oh and the survey:

1. Did you know Cynicism is Dynamic before today?
Nope, no sir. Found it through your signature.

2. Which one is your favorite comic? This one.

3. Do you enjoy this kind of humor? Yes!

4. Would you prefer a harsher comic? Stronger remarks? Direct accusations?
Nah, from the few comics Ive seen where you make snide remarks towards players, its still seems like you're balancing it out good. Imo, dont cross the line when people cant take it those remarks with self irony anymore.

5. Do you easily understand all the jokes?
Yea, mostly.

6. Would you prefer language to be simpler or even more complex?
I think that Entropians in general is pretty well educated, but we're also from many different countries -so dont make it too hard for people to understand, but you may go a lil verbally crazy if it suits.

7. Do you enjoy the weekly commentary?
I havent read.

8. Do you find it easy to read everything in the page?
Yea. The headline on what the comic is about though should be in a stronger color, or change the side with the logo. For some reason my eyes always land on that part last, and thus the plot kind of comes with that in stead of in proper order.

9. What other features would you include in the revamped site?
Better design maybe?

10. If you like the comic at all, how would you make it better?
Nothing much, keep developing your personal style!

11. Any comments?

Cant wait to read more. Ive got you bookmarked.
 
Thanks for the feedback! It's greatly appreciated.
I will work on that header. ;)
 
The 1k PED offer is good 'till saturday, guys. ;)
 
Um... first 10 to answer my survey will get 50 EFDs!
 
Somone moved this thread to Galleria and spoiled the competition as such threads do not show up in the front page.

So, I'll redo it for next week.
The two people who posted their guesses can try again next week. ;)
