Someone who's received over 10 PMs from me could easily not be awesome, but just plain pesky!~Esty

Well, that pesky person still is being important, just not in a positive way. Kind of look at how Saruman was important, just really evil.

Thanks for the clarification. I now feel better about the pms I've gotten from Estelyn.

Morthoron, I'm also talking from personal experience. I'm sure we all at some point in time (and several times more) are pests.

P.S. see if the phantom sends you a PM that doesn't just mean it was important enough that he noticed, but that it was so important he spent his own time to send a personal response. If Esty sends you something, by her own admission, it probably isn't a good thing. So really what it boils down to, is you need to get tp's attention and be annoying (in moderation).

Can I just say, as a new comics fangirl, how cool it is to be in a comic strip, and how utterly cool it is to be barfed on by Alien

Actually, Beth, I was meaning "Master" as in "Master of 'The Downer', and master of us lowly writers, and master of Downs related entertainment". I suppose I could say "Lord", but he always tells me not to call him that in public.

And regarding the switch from cats to penguins, I figured it'd cut down on the hate-mail. Each time an anti-cat headline hit the front page my mailbox was flooded with death threats. This past week's anti-penguin headlines only yielded one single death threat. Though the writer attempted to remain anonymous, the source is rather obvious. And I seriously doubt the threat could be carried out by such a distant individual.

Yes, Di- you're a big deal. Ranked in the top ten for certain.

That should totally be listed in the forum rules.

In addition to participating intelligently and respectfully, we also recommend that all new members attempt to gain the attention of the phantom somehow. And finally, please be annoying from time to time.

I bet Esty is going to put that up somewhere in the N&N forum.

I can assure you, things get much, MUCH messier for your character.

Also, you KNOW you're an elite Downer if you've appeared in The Phantom and Alien.

Awesome, I'm always up for a gorefest

Would the true test of importance than be getting a request from tp asking for our opinion in a thread/joining in a game?

But I will say if you get Esty to put that up on N&N that's good...that's true power.
