Alright, new AE challenge: A Nemesis Plot within a Nemesis Plot. My 3 slots are already filled, so I'll leave it to another to make this a reality.
@Leetdeth - Virtue | MA Arcs(all challenge arcs): Big Magic Blowout! #369774 | Who Really Cares About This? Z! #509577 | That Meddling King! (teams recommended) #21450
2/5
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
I might've found this slighly amusing if I knew the man pictured was named Nemesis without having to infer it from contextul clues.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

I'm not sure what you're saying.
Are you not aware of this joke?
Or are you saying you are aware of it, but you don't think it's good because not everyone knows who Nemesis is?

I'm saying that the joke wasn't funny to me because I didn't know the person pictured. Given the context, I might presume his name is Nemesis, but for all I know his name is Alvin.

I don't get this.
Did Xzibit change his name to Nemesis?

Wait, so that guy *isn't* Nemesis?

But there's no Nemesis in that Nemesis, it's just Nemesis.

Yeah, the joke would be better if Xzibit was actually named Nemesis and I don't think he ever referred to himself like that....

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
@Lyrik
It was supposed to be funny because of the idea of nemesis plots inside nemesis plots in the context of the meme. 
My friend thought it was a winner.
edit--
Xzibit wasn't named 'car' either.
He also wasn't named 'flames' at any point.
Including his picture is just part of it.
Never mind.
*sigh again*
That's not the point. The point of the meme is that you put something of the same into the same because Xzibit heard that you liked that something.
As in your picture there is only Xzibit and Nemesis the joke doesn't work.
It would work if you had two nemesis plots in the picture:
"Yo dawg, I herd you like nemesis plots, so I put a nemesis plot in your nemesis plot"

@Lyrik
But all Nemesis plots include multiple Nemesis plots. There is never just ONE. More are implied with the presence of any!

Yeah, were I to do something along those lines I would've put the cover to Nemesis' Temple of Boom with Lord Nemesis edited in with the rap group in front of Xzibit.

Aside from the fact that the image coulda been made by a 9 yo in MSPaint... and that even KNOWING the meme doesn't make it particularly funny... this is, NOT a winner in any book. And didn't really need to be posted at all... since there was also no context for this "joke."

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.
This community is so interesting sometimes.
There is currently a 13 page thread discussing the hot topic of an all female server and I get told my leetle joke is pointless. 
There is definitely a bit of a trend here of taking the most dramatic approach to every single situation to prove how much more awesome you are than the last person to say something.
Everyone jumps at the chance to let everyone else know how dumb they think something is instead of thinking to themselves, "Oh that is not interesting to me. Perhaps I will post elsewhere."
It's one thing when someone posts something totally retarded (like suggesting an all female server) but I just posted this because I thought it was kind of funny. No harm no foul, I would think.
But anyways, sorry that you guys did not like my joke. I am sorry for wasting your precious forum space and I will let you get back to calling each other stupid in different, more productive threads.

For the record, I enjoyed this immensely.

I thought your joke was dumb but this thread is still more productive than the "Female Only Server" thread.

When you read a post that seems especially venomous and seems to come out of nowhere, its helpful to remember people who screech and grandstand about every small feature change to the game. That's what your post is to them: a feature change to the game.

Congratulations you pwnt me with your cleverness. You now win 5 paragon points, thus awarding you this smiley face:
Anyways, just for the record my last post was only an observation. I'm not butthurt or anything, I just think it's peculiar (and sometimes perplexing) how things work sometimes.
I just picture like, one of you guys working as a cashier at a store I shopped in and I made a joke you thought was sort of silly.. So instead of just going "keke," you gave me an analysis of why my joke was not funny and told me what could be done to improve upon it in the future.
