Current mood:

cynical

And we're at it again!
Yup, it's GAFFers getting up in arms again. Over a game thread of all things! Honestly, we can wank over anything.

It all starts when Theaphelia decides to start a game thread called Cut off Your Own Po. Sounds innocent enough, right? C'mon, you know better than that.

Everyone plays along taking it in stride until Tilly comes along and let's us know she's not amused.
Dare I ask what is even the point of this?

After this it all goes to hell.

Theaphelia tries to put out the flames, to no avail.
Damnit, I restarted this thread to get away from the wank in the JW forum! Please, don't bring it here. Let us enjoy ourselves like the intelligent-but-sometimes-goofy-GAFFers we a

Sadly though, things just keep getting uglier and uglier.
Quoting longchecjeredhistory, quoting Tilly:
We? ...You heard it here first: Tilly is the spokeswoman for all of GAFF. Make sure to suck up now, before she starts naming her inner circle!

Look here:

Snarking badfics=the ultimate good
Cutting off posts=a two-sided issue

Yes, we criticize shitty fanfictions as a community...but look around...a number of members seem to be enjoying this little game. So, don't cry irrelevence, because it seems a little hypocritical when you compare our holy rantings to your personal vendetta against the occasional bit of nonsense. GAFF purist? Nah, you're not. But I hope to God you'll get over it soon, because this is ridiculo

We have angry Tilly defenders here.
Quoting WhiteLotus25:
Sorry I'm not participating in this game. I just wanted to point out something. It's Tilly's opinion. You don't need to pounce on her. It's not as if she posted a thread dedicated to herself.

And Tilly defenders/thread haters here.
Dissolved Girl:
Just want to add that whoever dragged Tilly's opinion from her LJ to GAFF was being quite immature.

As for the game, whatever. I don't want to play, but I'm tired of pointing out things I think are stupid. =P

And from here on in, interspersed with people quietly playing the game in the background, it's almost nonstop fighting and complaining about how downhill GAFF has gone. Ugly as this thread has become, I really hope it dies away, but before it does, I figured you people would have fun shaking your heads at how wanky GAFFers can be.

ETA: Link should actually work now, sorry about that. Midnight posting+me=mistakes galore!

	Ha! I finally figured out why I kept giggling over the name "Tilly" -- it was the name of one of the teddy bear mascots at my (now closed) elementary school. So now I keep picturing this very irate white teddy bear sitting in front of a computer. It makes the whole thing much more entertaining. wanders off, singing "with fairbear~ and tilly~ mascots on a roll~" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It's been ages and I can't remember -- was Adam (Zach'z replacement in the early series) Asian? Because ooooh, BABY. Though the wolf-guy in Wild Force was pretty hot too.

	He was also Sakaki in Witch Hunter Robin and Kiba in Wolf's Rain. IMDB is a wonderful thing -- about half of the people in the early Power Rangers series now do anime dubbing. It's a wonderful thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Hotness* heals all wounds! This is where I cracked up. In the post your picture (http://www.godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1395&start=800), thread, Tilly posts her picture. (http://www.godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=268072&highlight=#268072)

Longcheckeredhistory who originally brought Tilly's lj into the mix and made the 2X4 / ass comment gets all " OMG TEH PRETTY@ (http://www.godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=268228&highlight=#268228) Can we make ~~out~~ up?"

Then he posts a picture. Tilly gets all, "Your'e cute too, and don't worry we're not fighting!!"

Loki gets in on it, too.

ANd love is born? Is it a threesome?

*(just for the record, by my standards Tilly is not that hot. If you see other pictures of her especialy. I'm not saying that to be mean, just an opinion, which is SO popular of a thing to do on GAFF.)
