I've got nothing for this, though I suppose the fact that I just left the Skype group of some guys that I'd been with for 2 years would be somewhat relevant to the "pretty chill" part. Suffice it to say things weren't pretty on my end of things due to stuff like that.

So...GM officially confirmed as Gordon/whatever his official name is? Where does the "who taught you how to min-max" trait come from, then?

I assure, there is a time-line that works. I may or may not share it one day. :p

Oh, I have no doubt. I'm just thinking out loud.

Luke: Okay, I'm gonna try and get creative with this.

GM: Okay, go ahead.

Luke: I grasp Sanji's hand, and look him right in the eyes and tell him, "The All Blue is out there, waiting for you. Let me take you there. We can find it, together."

GM: sanji seems intrigued by your straightforward attitude and offer.

Luke: Good. I put an arm around his shoulder, and whisper into his ear. "Can't you hear it calling? Your destiny is out there, waiting, and I can take you there."

GM: Sanji's eyes sparkle as he imagines the wonders of his destiny.

Luke: I hold up a small bottle. "But before we leave, I need you to swallow a couple of these. They'll loosen you up for he long trip."

GM: He seems puzzled over the small pills. "No, that's alright. I don't need muscle relaxants."

Luke: I pocket the pill bottle and say, "Well, it's your call, but don't say I didn't offer when your butthole tears after just the first eighteen inches."

GM: What.

Luke: No, it's cool, me and Cory worked out a schedule. I mean, the plan specified a cabin boy, but ship's cook works fine.

Cory: yeah, man. Speaking of which, did you ever fix that belt of gender change?

Luke: Sort of. I got a muddled response. It might change him into a girl. Or a ghoul. Or a gorilla. But it definitely had a G and an L.

Nat: Hey guys, what did I miss?

GM: Luke and Cory apparently have a... schedule.

Nat: Cool, do I get weekends and holidays off?

Luke: Yeah, we can make that happen. Nat, are you okay with having an extra, honorary title on the ship?

Nat: Sure!

Cory: Sweet! Sanji's off the hook for now.

GM: Luke, Cory, i'm going out for a few minutes. When I come back, we are going to have a long talk about just how much this isn't going to happen.

*GM leaves*

Cory: Sooooo... How exactly do condoms work with you?

Luke: I don't need a condom. I'll just stretch some skin over it and call it good.

DM: ... What the hell did I just walk in on?

No one breaks a brain quite like Raxon.

He has a rare gift, yes.

I think I may need some brain bleach for my brain bleach.

I dunno. Luke doesn't seem the type to make a schedule. He seems more of a heat of the moment kind of guy for something like that.

And then Cory jumps in halfway through the, ah, "moment" to try to one-up Luke. All in good fun!

You know, I wasn't planning on doing any guest comics this time mostly because I didn't have any ideas. Also there are other things I should be doing.

But at least now if I want to I can do something with the ideas you've given me.

OH GOD

Please don't.

Sweet lightning, no...
DO IT

Y'know, with a decent artist you could probably make a decent profit off of hilariously fucked-up doujins.

Raxon makes my brain hurt. This last post of his is more in depth then his normal stuff.

Every now and then, I feel inspired to make something truly magnificent in its mindscrewery.

Oh Wait... i thought they where eventually going to invite Gordon, so that the GM won't have to use Sanji as a GMPC for too long. ...But if i get it, Gordon IS GM.
Make sense actually. if i remember, he is the one who invited Nat to the group.

So, chronologicaly that would be...
at various points yet unknown, Nat, Luke, DM, COry start roleplayin.
Nat invite Gordon to play, but they have problem with Nat's old group, Gordon nearly drop RPing.
at some point Nat leave her old group.
at some point Luke got kicked out of his old group. (possibly interchangeable with the previous line).
DM invite Luke.
They meet Gordon and invite him.(before or after that, they meet Cory, i can't tell when it was).
DM teach gordon how to minmax.
DM stop DMing and gordon become the GM for Luke and Cory. and he teach them hox to minmax
GM eventually invite Nat to join in their new campaign.

just my aproximation on things, but i supose it work this way.

I think i get it, i just had a reveal!
In reality, DM is a big Softie at heart !! softie like soft like a milk chocolate bar stuffed with strawberry flavor marshmallow. the packeging of the chocolate is just hard hand scary, and a bit of jerk, which make sense, because when you eat a chocolate, you throw the packaging in the trash. (lost my metaphor somewhere ...)
She figured that GM had a bad experience in the past, and purposedly took him under her wing, and taught him how to minmax, so that no one would ever be able to dare making fun of his game or disrespect him.
And she took Luke with her when she saw that he was to crazy for others groups.
For some reasons yet unknown, she play like a jerk and create PC killer character, but she's a good person herself.

Ok, com'on lemme guess.
with what new information we get with Cory's flashback during the fight against Mihawk, and what we could grasp from Nat's and GM(Gordon), here is my suposition. some point can for the moment be switched as i'm unable to know their exat position.

*Cory and Luke go way back, actually before they start roleplaing.
At some point Luke meet Cory's cousin Rika.
*Luke get into RP.

*Nat get into RP. (possibly before Luke)

*Luke get kicked out of his group for a atempt at cow catapulting. DM invite him in a group. At this point DM is not yet DMing (as mentioned by Cory who once said "even before she start DMing" or something like this.)This implie the precense of another Master.

*Nat invite Gordon to a game, and it did'nt end well, because the rest of the group where A-holes. (might or might not come before the above point)

*At the game store, Luke or DM or both, meet Gordon, and invite him in the Get Backers Game.

*Luke invite Cory to try RPing, still in the GetBackers game. Cory get into it and become part of the group.

*DM become the game master for Cory, Luke and Gordon.
Gordon start assisting DM in GM-ing, and learn some of her min-maxing science. GM pass down this science to Luke and Cory.

*DM quit DMing due to a lack of free-time.
*DM become a TA and meet Rika.

*Gordon become the GM for Luke and Cory.
They start the Pirate campaign.

*While the above point where taking place, Nat was going through one bad-group after the other, and came close to dro RPing because of that.

*GM (gordon) invite Nat to join in the Pirate game.

*Rika come to town and join.

*DM join. Rika discover that her TA was the group former Referee, which might or might not result in some special, gentle form of rapprochement between a student and... ahem, i digress.
*The same day, Phil see the the pretty girls at the table and decide to join.

We know the rest.

Yet unknown point in time: Rika get into RP, most certainely between the moment where Luke got into RP and the Cow-catapult incident.
She might or might not have played games with Luke, Cory and Gordon before, but not with GM as she did'nt knew that her TA was a acquaintance of them. she appeared to already know Gordon before she joigned in the pirate game.
The alternative would be that Rika had been part of the Get Backers Game, but not GM. we don't know, as of yet, if GM was part of this game. (though it appear like it could have been a group of which DM was part, Cory described it as "competitive".)

For the sake of simplification, i did'nt include the moment and circumstance in which GM, Cory and Luke met Robin, Dan, and Emily, as i have no way to locate theses. and did'nt include either the fact that they might or might not know characters from others campaign comic.

I forgot to put my pseudodyme. i should make a registered account.
