Tempts Fate 11 (update 27 December!)

[someone]

mmm, Waffles...
bye bye lucretiaaos, im going to rename you Complain-aout-not-getting-donation-stuff-despite-not-donaiting

Can Moose or one of the other Mods make a special group "Ragequitters", with "Ragequitted" as title?

Personally, I think that would be hilarious. Which probably means that it's mean, and we shouldn't do it.

If you do it, I fear I have to ragequit over something stupid just to get the title and then come back to wear it, like a mask, over my face, and do my little cookie dance...
Wait, where did that come from?

On Tempts Fate: Yay! And no apology needed, you give us so much... a great comic, a lot of fun and a place to cyber- hang-out with our e-maginary friends. We should thank you more often.

Back on topic -- may I just say I LOVED the jab at GenCon in panel 3. Having only learned about the event, and then attending for the first time ever last year, I was really laughing over that frame!

[mnementh]

NOOooooooo-o-o-o-o-!!! Not back ON TOPIC! You MUSTN'T!


Because that would be, you know, normal or somethin'.


mnem
And you don't want that! Noo!

[Krulle]

Now with the SFF, our beloved Mr. Tarol Stephens (THunt) has finally updated the Tempts Fate 11 page with all the missing comics and the first SFF page. :)

Thank you, Thunt!

Now, the Shield of Wonder page could use such an update too. ;)

[Tobias F├╝nke, M.D.]

I am disappointed that we never got to actually see Tempts Fate enter or exit that hellhole. Oh well.

[Krulle]

Well, he entered, now we are searching for Tempts Fate, once we found him, we should receive the last page with him exiting the hell.

[Scur]

So. Even with the "quick sketch" idea, which still looks good to me btw, it's becoming months without an update. Same old, same old.

[Catmandont]

So. Even with the "quick sketch" idea, which still looks good to me btw, it's becoming months without an update. Same old, same old.

With THunt's new schedule and 'countdown timer', I would expect that he'll have more free time to focus on catching up, other than constantly being behind.

I'm still patient, though I say that as a person who DIDN'T donate (I started reading well after that period).

[Krulle]

Well, by now we know that at least all Altsplanations will come, sooner or later (I think the latter)...

All 217 alts will some day be 'splained.

[Miryafa]

So whatever happened to the search for Tempts Fate? I mean... Did he ever escape Waffles?

[Krulle]

We might have to send another group down that specific prison to free the first searching party.

[stevedj]

So, the new title of that will be... "The Hunt for The Search for Tempts Fate"

[Borys]

It's Alien movies patent.
If the search crew is lost... send another one. Less numbered.

[Loyal Backstabber]

Okay, who shot Scur? That "thunk" certainly sounded like he was being shot, at any rate.

Anyway, I don't donate because I can't, but my understanding was that it was just a donation thing, not some sort of Kickstarter for a webcomic with the rewards being him living longer or anything. If the pages are late, that's fine as long as they get done eventually, as far as I'm concerned. My only problem with the SFTF is that the prison should be named Pancakes. Much more impressive than Waffles.

<regular Goblins reader voice>If this Thunt-guilting slows down the main comic any more, I'm killing every single one of you. And then, I'm rezzing you, and killing you again. tiny rage --> <-- see it raging? </rGrv>

Updated first post.

"Guilt Thunt again and I'll kill you twice," eh? That sounds strangely familiar...

Difficult. SFF actually only sent one to Biscuit to find Tempts Fate.
The next group would then be.... (blank)

[Kore]

Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
WhereÔÇÖs the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

IsnÔÇÖt there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
IÔÇÖm holding out for a hero ÔÇÿtil the end of the night
HeÔÇÖs gotta be strong
And heÔÇÖs gotta be fast
And heÔÇÖs gotta be fresh from the fight...

Search party for Tempts Fate... we need a proven hero and winner who is fresh from fight and looking for a new challenge. Who could that be? I think we can all agree that one name fits this better than all others...

The Mighty Psi-Max! He has just proven himself by winning maze of many, he has time now for a new mission, and he really cares about saving others from pain and suffering!

[Krulle]

THAT just earned me confused looks from my co-workers.
Thank you. :rofl:

it's Waffles, not Biscuit

[Krulle]

Eh? my fault, indeed.
Thanks.

[Loyal Backstabber]

it's Waffles, not Biscuit

Maybe they decided they needed to get Biscuit so that he could be arrested for being too awesome as well and then help rescue Tempts? That would explain where the other one is

[OnceUponATime]

the sketches don't match a huge orc. Otherwise I would agree it's a reasonable assumption

[Krulle]

I just saw something posted in a different thread, and I thought that this seems to be the official end for TF11 and SFF... :(

I think it is relevant for here, so I'll copy-pasta:

It is shitty that I haven't drawn the last page for Tempts Fate. Bad At Jokes is right. Let's discuss it a bit.

I'm kidding myself, thinking that I'll be able to squeeze in a detailed, high quality TF page without taking time off the comic to draw it. The drive promised four TF pages, which I delivered, but then I stupidly promised a fifth for no reason other than being emotionally moved by the generosity of the people who donated. My three choices are...

1. I take time off the comic to draw it.
2. I phone it in, drawing something quick and lacking.
3. I don't do it.

I hate all three choices, but that's all there is. I started attempting option 2, with a crudely drawn set of pages, but I hate drawing unfinished looking stuff like that. The mentality was that if I draw a handful of unfinished, crappy pages, it'll sort of feel like I've done enough. I keep kidding myself, thinking I'll somehow find the time to draw something awesome for it.

I should have just drawn the four pages and been done with it. Now I've drawn a total of six pages and I've dug myself into a hole, owing more pages still. It's really dumb.

Bad At Jokes, I feel terrible that you're feeling this way. If you email me the name you donated under, I'll check my records and gladly give you a refund for the amount you gave during the TF run. I'm really sorry.

Well, better to have an end to end, than waiting for ages.
It's a pity, but then the finishing and general glossiness of the TF pages made them so work-load heavy that the comic indeed would have to stay back.

[Kelten]

Woho! new uppdate!

[Xavier78]

Jumping down peoples throats for being upset at the update schedule should not be something a Mod encourages. Is it crap? Yeah, kinda, but those very few people are entitled to their opinions. Nothing good ever came from a forum full of fanboys and elitists. Let them vent their frustration without the "let the door hit you", rude crap.
