I guess it’d look bad if you gave yourself a seal of approval for your own post, wouldn’t it? So here: (One seal of approval from the people that are irritated more by the first post haters than the first post people)
To me it’s always been less a matter of irritation and more a matter of pity. I mean, here you have an opportunity to take the most valuable piece of real-estate in the comments section. To make the post that everyone who reads the comments will necessarily see, with virtually no risk of them getting bored and going to do something else before they get to what you have written…
And “First!” is the best they come up with… Something that most comment readers will subconsciously filter out and not even really notice… What a waste.
Of course, it can be fun for the opportunities it presents to play Cyrano de Bergerac…
Yes but would it really hurt to try to come up with something OTHER than first. I mean if I don’t have something that I think might be funny or stimulating in some way I usually don’t say anything, especially when it’s practically shouting that they don’t care about your comic enough to try to come up with anything. Seriously it’s just plain stupid and it infuriates me to no end.
I used to have a you tube channel, but people like this flooded my channel to the point where it wasn’t fun anymore, and I discontinued it. I guess It had gotten to the point where I grew to resent these types of people, however if you do not care then I shall try to keep quiet about it.
People had gotten into some stupid game of who could post “first” first. It escalated to these huge arguements every time that drove away my viewers to the point where I didn’t see the point of continuing.
See, now this is deeply amusing to me. I realized that, even though I uploaded roughly 10 minutes before we normally post, I had put the wrong date on this post (5th instead of 6th).
So not only are you First, but you are now so First that you have transcended time and space to do so.
Yes E-Merl, go be alone with your satanic book. Open portals and shit. It’ll all work out and in the future we’ll look back on this day and laugh manically while experiencing ptsd seizures.
“Lack of respect”? Where’d that come from? They’re all stressed out during a particularly prickly situation, of course they’re going to be brusque. Hell, they trust him to competently complete a necessary task.
Ain’t no disrespectin’ around these parts (‘cept for cultists, but screw ’em).
The thing with people who post “first” is that if they didn’t, it gets worse. I theorize that there are multiple stages of “first” posting.
1. The… erm… first stage is the one we all know and hate. Some dude sees there are no comments, gets excited, posts “first.”
2. The second stage occurs once the first stage has become common enough that it is now widely hated, and people will now try to actively avoid saying “first.” They will instead post some other meaningless drivel that is effectively the same thing (meaningless, posted only to mark the first post as belonging to the author). Second stage “first” posters may even be congratulated by their peers for having the first post, but not saying “first,” as such behavior is now widely despised among people who frequent comment sections that just having the opportunity to do so and not taking it (even though they really did) is considered and admirable deed. This is the stage currently taking hold among the peoples of the internet.
3. Stage 3 “First” posting: Stage 3 “First” posting is as of yet unknown, as it has not yet been encountered.
And so you are now enlightened. I for one, do not mind Stage 1 “First” posts, for at least these noble posters have not succumbed to the peer pressure that would otherwise keep them from doing so. Once you learn to recognize Stage 2 posting, it becomes much more annoying, so in comparison Stage 1 posters become much less annoying. The desire to mark as yours the prestigious title of “First Poster” will never leave us, so instead we must embrace and accept what will eventually become a noble tradition.
First!
Really. You have to be one of those douches?
Hey, come on. Don’t be rude.
If people care about getting First Post, let ’em.

Perhaps.
At the same time, though: It’s a comments section on a Webcomic.
It really doesn’t matter at all.
It doesn’t matter?
IT DOESN’T MATTER???!!!??
well of course it doesn’t!
Yes but would it really hurt to try to come up with something OTHER than first. I mean if I don’t have something that I think might be funny or stimulating in some way I usually don’t say anything, especially when it’s practically shouting that they don’t care about your comic enough to try to come up with anything.

Yeah, sorry. I don’t really care at all and I don’t need you getting offended on my behalf.
And honestly, it makes me really sad that you would discontinue your creative work just because a bunch of some random comments.
I mean, shit. If I were that way, Guilded Age would’ve been cancelled after Chapter 9.
It wasn’t just the people that did dumb stuff like post”first” but they certainly helped it along.
People had gotten into some stupid game of who could post “first” first. It escalated to these huge arguements every time that drove away my viewers to the point where I didn’t see the point of continuing.
There were some other things too but it still drove away huge amounts of my viewers.
But it is your comic not mine so as I said earlier I will try to keep quiet about it from now on.
Why didn’t you just disable the comments?
You totally knew that chapter was going to be explosive :D
That was:
Really
Uncalled for,
Dude.
Ech…. couldnt think of anything for ‘E’….
See, now this is deeply amusing to me. I realized that, even though I uploaded roughly 10 minutes before we normally post, I had put the wrong date on this post (5th instead of 6th).
So not only are you First, but you are now so First that you have transcended time and space to do so.
You, sir, are the world’s first “Negative First.”
This is simply brilliant.
And they say posting “FIRST” has no value.
But in this case, it’s a negative value…
|-first| is a tremendous achievement!
He has and forever will be the |-first| winner of the internets.
Yes E-Merl, go be alone with your satanic book. Open portals and shit. It’ll all work out and in the future we’ll look back on this day and laugh manically while experiencing ptsd seizures.
Poor E-Merl. He gets less respect from his peers than Barney Fife did from Andy.
(He does have a Don Knotts type personality at times).
“Lack of respect”? Where’d that come from? They’re all stressed out during a particularly prickly situation, of course they’re going to be brusque. Hell, they trust him to competently complete a necessary task.
Ain’t no disrespectin’ around these parts (‘cept for cultists, but screw ’em).
I’d never expect good manners from Scipio when he doesn’t have a cigar.
To be honest, E-Merl isn’t a guy who radiates self-confidence and is anything but commanding.
I half expected Bandit to add ‘Oh, and your girlfriend is dead’
Hehe bowling with cultists isn’t your typical tournament.
He’sa rickrollin’ ’em.
why do i get the feeling this is going to blow up in our face super hard? its cus the elves were evil right?
Or the cultists are smarter than they look…
I’m pretty sure Byron will ‘zerk them really good and then Syr’nj will have a REAL problem at hands.
Now I really really want to see a banditzerker.
This will work.
“E-Merl! Go off somewhere by yourself while there’s a ‘zerker on the loose!”
…And everyone here dies too, while E-merl is away, doubling his survivor’s guilt.
If that cultist just knocked out Rabbit’s front teeth, I demand revenge! Solitary confinement and eternal life should be appropriate.
(Rabbit’s not tagged, btw.)
Pow right in the kisser.
One a’ these days, Rabbit, one a’ these days … to the moon! Bang, zoom!
oh no muttonchops gnome is hit D:
We should all prepare ourselves for the fact that we may, in fact, be facing a TPK scenario for the non-embedded characters.
It’s also possible that Byron will kill Syr’Nj, in which case I will rageflip a table, and continue to hang on every word of every page of this comic.

This reminds me of the Corrupted Blood Plague in WoW!
When the usually stone-faced human tank starts opening eyes like this, the situation is officially fubar. :-S
