Yeah, I was surprised people haven't shipped her a lot. Particularly compared to Equius.God damn it. Just looked at a few Damara ones, and yyeeaahh. Ding ding ding. Spot on.
I guess it makes sense, though... Equius fics probably poke fun at his quirks, while Damara fics would just be really vulgar.
That would probably work well as a grid table. Each axis is all names, with the squares being shaded according to number of fics.I'll get on that now. And, of course, a bar graph sorted by number to show the falloff. The only reason it's sorted like that is because I'm lazy and didn't want to bother with programming in the stupid formatting for those, so I went with a very basic output, to get it working ASAP.
Damara was actually unpopular enough that I thought that I misspelled her name, but when I saw she had a few fics with John, I realized that she was just that unpopular. It does kinda make sense though. She is weird by the internet's standards. For those who haven't yet, look at her chat logs. (I mean, JESUS.)I did a thing.: /Spoiler: Kids/Everyone! (click to show/hide)
Conclusions I've drawn from this:
1: Dave is a PLAYA.
2: Damara is lonely. : /
3: Male incest is apparently the favourite thing for people to make their favourite characters do, given omnopotence. Can't say that was THAT much of a revelation.
Eh, it hadn't come up before, and we'd been chatting for quite a while, so something one of us was doing that day probably started it. We both seemed equally surprised and confused, though, which seems to point to it just coming up normally.No, he sits next to me, and it came up... somehow. Don't remember exactly how we got there, but it was towards the tail end of class and we were done with the work, so we were just chatting.another in my C++ class attempting to argue for young earth creationismQuoteProf: "So this is how a class works, and how you simulate an OO program in C++"
Kid: "No that's wrong because the earth is only 200(?) years old."
So... Like that?
From what I've seen, if someone has a strongly held belief, they'll often make SURE it comes up in conversation. Those with good enough social skills can steer conversations quite subtly.

Jade Harley/Jade Harley:0What Gnorm did pissed me off on some level I didn't even know I had, because I usually just get sad for a bit at this sorta stuff. Might have been a feeling of almost ... betrayal? I was here, chilling in the nice, helpful community we have and then, all of a sudden, that happened. After the initial WTF period had ended, I got angry, for the first real time in quite a while. I'm not even sure what exactly it was that got my blood boiling so much. I can see this kind shit IRL (not in that detail, but still) and honestly, just feel deeply, deeply sad. I'm just gonna stop here because this rant's not going anywhere, and is going to veer into WOT territory if I continue.Damn you smjjames!I have to say, this is a really good response. "Gnorm has also been removed."Did Toady say anything on the subject or did he just purge the thread in silence? Curious as to his response to his game being used to do...stuff like that. I know it was a mod, but the engine is DF, and Toady made DF.Smeeprocket, I must extend my dearest thanks to you for putting together this project. I have no doubt that it will offer me an endless source of fun.
I removed the thread created by Gnorm as concerns the quote above. Gnorm has also been removed.
Sat next to a pastor's daughter in maths this year. As it turns out it's pretty jarring to hear somebody talk about religion things like it's normal everyday stuff.I know this feeling. Recently, I have heard not one, but two separate people (One very loudly at lunch, another in my C++ class) attempting to argue for young earth creationism in a very short time, when I'd heard not a whiff of it here before. It is indeed quite jarring.
