    You'll also find it quoted in TVTropes' "Spoof Aesop" section.

    I have a question about the reviews, from Venture, or other... this may be answered somewhere in the thread, that I missed, but, how does one avoid the sin of "just a bunch of stuff that happened?" Does that basically mean that the events don't seem connected to each other? Does that mean what initiated them was uninteresting? I'd like to avoid this because it SEEMS bad but I don't know how it's defined.

    As so often happens on these boards, Arcanaville had a great answer a few pages back in this post.

    On the CoX boards, we don't have Simpsons did it, we have Arcanaville didn't.

    I was wondering when someone would mention The Simpsons.

    Homer: Save a guy's life, and what do you get? Nothing! Worse than nothing! Just a big scary rock.
    Bart: Hey, man, don't bad-mouth the head.
    Marge: Homer, it's the thought that counts. The moral of the story is a good deed is its own reward.
    Bart: Hey, we <got> a reward. The head is cool.
    Marge: Then... I guess the moral is no good deed goes unrewarded.
    Homer: Wait a minute. If I hadn't written that nasty letter, we wouldn't've gotten anything.
    Marge: Well... Then I guess the moral is the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
    Lisa: Perhaps there is no moral to this story.
    Homer: Exactly! Just a bunch of stuff that happened.

    Marge: But it certainly was a memorable few days.

    I can not say I am sorrry to see you go. I feel that the forums have been handled poorly by you for 2 years now and I look forward to hopfully someone taking control that can turn around all the hogwash you have allowed to go on for far to long. And I am sorry but I feel you leaving will be a step in the right direction to solving a lot of the problems the forums have.

    This is of course quite rude.

    I for one prefer the new Swipe to the old because quite frankly, the whole slashing bit was cliché to me. I felt it pandered to the "cat" lovers more than anything else.

    Pander to me! That's what catgirls are for.

    What will "When Kittens Attack" do without her swipies? For stylistic reasons, she only has that one claw attack so far.

    On the other hand, my higher-level scrapper welcomes the changes.
