khy posted:What happened to the Imgur album linked in the OP? Where can I go to get the whole thing all at once? I've assembled each Chapter of Tails Gets Trolled into an Adobe PDF. They average about 10MB in size. They could be made smaller, albeit at the cost of lost image quality and/or loss-of-compatibility with old PDF-reading software. Assuming these files would be useful to folks, what's a good way to host/distribute them?

It's looking less and less likely that this is all an illusion of Ronald's. Chester freakin' Cheetah, one of the evilest in the TGT universe! I can't help but wonder what he's done to Hello Kitty for her infidelity. Also, might he forgive Tails if he can be convinced that Tails had no idea Kitty was his wife?The Bee posted:Mario could stand a chance here. But that'd rely on Mario having a shred of empathy for anything that isn't him or his kingdom. Light Gun Man posted:

simplefish posted:Was it ever explained why her back was scarred to poo poo? nerdbot posted:There's no way this is what he had in mind the whole time, but I mean it works I guess. I can go with it. What's not clear is whether the Defenders group has always been an instrument of Cheeto Man, or whether its origin story per Pac-Man, Frogger, and Leap Frog is veridical. In the latter case, Cheeto Man would've had a criminal empire before he joined the Defenders, and then, once he joined, he decided to take over and remold the group to suit his purposes. This would explain why Pac-Man is the nominal boss, and why everyone seems to respect his leadership: Cheeto Man left the existing organizational structure in place, but made Pac-Man his puppet by kidnapping his wife and kid. If most or even all of the Defenders are in the same boat, why don't they band together to overthrow Cheeto Man and rescue their loved ones? It makes sense, though, if they originally joined up to fight the trolls, and they're counting on him to defeat Troll King. Even Troll King fears Cheeto Man in single combat...

Now that Chapter 20 is complete, I updated my PDFs of the comic. Instead of linking to specific files as before, here's a link to the folder. The 20 PDF'd chapters are there, bundled together as a tarball, as a .zip folder, and as one big PDF with bookmarks for each chapter. There's also an all-in-one PDF for the first five chapters--a Tails Gets Trolled sampler for potential new readers, if you like. Anyhow, I'm glad to see the action return to Demaro vs. Coyote. If this "The Conclusion" of their fight, I hope the coy dawg comes out on top. He's probably my favorite character right now. I'd like to think that the sky changing back means the fight ends unfavorably for Demaro, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. It might just be that the effect on the sky doesn't persist for long after Demaro loses control of his monster.

nerdbot posted:Since everything the Defenders told Tails was a Cheeto-fed lie, does that mean the Dragonballs could actually be real This had occurred to me as well. For that matter, has any non-Defender ever mentioned the Soul Bind? That could be a big lie, too! Thing is, although the veracity of the Defenders has been called into question, we don't know how much truth might be mixed in there with the deception. That is, have the Defenders been a tool of Cheeto-man from the beginning, or did Cheeto-man subvert an extant group of genuine anti-troll guerrillas led by Pac-Man?

PBS Newshour posted:I read TGT by going through the thread, I recommend it because the constantly shifting perspectives on the comic and lazerbot himself were almost as funny as the stuff that was happening in it Same; I marathoned this thread in January '15. I'd recommend any other goon do the same, because in all seriousness it's "value added" relative to just reading the comic, in that you get to vicariously experience the thread's collective experience with encountering the comic, and with following it as it progressed. There's something special about serialized fiction. For instance, sure, someday my children might read the Harry Potter series, but they won't ever know what it was like to read the books as they came out, and they'll certainly never experience the suspense of Spring 2007 as fans eagerly anticipated the publication of Deathly Hallows.

The MSJ posted:Canine misidentified and fourth wall brokern in the new page. It stands to reason that Demaro is going to win this fight: he's an Original Character, and has received considerable attention so far (consider how many pages were devoted to his fight with Garry). But, TGT is undoubtedly one of the LEAST predictable works of fiction I have ever encountered. I'm currently re-reading TGT (when I finish, I'll be happy to post a current plot summary), and I notice that, of the seven who were imparted with the power of Neutrals, only Coyote's hand markings and spirit strings are yellow (the others' are red). Further, Kelic (the officiant of the satanic ritual) genuinely seemed to think that Coyote was more powerful than Demaro (for what that is worth). I think it's possible, maybe even likely, that Coyote will either win this fight, or that it will end inconclusively.

This is an encouraging development...! Coyote and Demaro have been fighting for what...at least 2 years realtime now? Seemingly, Coyote OUGHT to win this fight. Coyote's been hyped up to be the quintessential Neutral. But, Demaro has gotten a disproportionate share of attention in the comic, and he IS an originalcharacterdonotsteal. From a storytelling perspective, a Coyote victory seems odd, since a Demaro victory would ramp up the suspense, and his defeat would make his character development sort of a fake-out. As I've alluded to before, I think there's a distinct possibility that the skeleton centipede behind Demaro's third eye will abandon him (which will almost certainly lead to his death) to (try to) possess Coyote.

DicktheCat posted:Is Tails even in this anymore?? There's kind of a huge backlog, is any of it worth going through? How much of a backlog are we talking? The weed party + Amy backstory is the lowest point of TGT (so far), but you might want to check out the Amy backstory for the artwork. From a technical standpoint, it might be Lazerbot's finest. toanoradian posted:Demaro slayed more trolls than Troll Slaiyers did, and he's on their side. Demaro's agenda is his own. On the last page of Chapter 9, he states that his goal is to become the most powerful satanist and kill all the Neutrals (including Coyote). The whole reason the fight broke out between him and his brother Garry (Chapter 11, page 17) was that Demaro wanted to kill Elmer Fudd and eat his brains to find out where the Neutrals' hideout is. But, Garry's first loyalty is to the trolls, and the trolls need Elmer Fudd because he has turned into a technological genius by having eaten Eggman's brains, and can therefore build the trolls their robot army, and revive the man in the ice (Chapter 12, page 18). I posted a plot synopsis a while back ( https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3467407&userid=39233#post444860193 ), and it's mostly still accurate. Of note since then:
Edit: This is the very beginning of the Coyote-Demaro fight, posted October 9, 2012. So, that fight has been going on for almost five years real-time now. RobobTheGreat fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Aug 12, 2017 |

Ben Saint posted:UpCyaniDown Believe me, I understand putting projects on hold to start something new. If you ever wanna be a guest on the Pro Crastinators Podcast to discuss the state of Tails Gets Trolled or to promote your new projects, you're invited! UpCyaniDown posted:I'm moving in the next couple of weeks and won't have internet for awhile but that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Though my other projects are still being wrote and constructed and i don't know when I'll actually be able to publish them. UpCyaniDown posted:Yeah the thing is TGT isn't remotely close to being concluded and i don't want a rush ending for this story to appease the fans, that's not how i work. I rather wait until i have the man power to have the whole story made, i want to build up my brand and expand first and then when i have the resources come back and create TGT in a timely fashion instead of rushing a ending. So, working alone, it would take him a century to complete TGT?? Edit: Lazerbot recently opened a Q&A session on his deviantart page that I don't think has been posted in this thread yet. Beware of spoilers, because he and his brother explain Shadow and Cheetoh Man's history with the trolls, the origins of the Defenders, the lore of the Words of Death, the lore of the Neutrals, the identity of the Man in the Ice, and what Shadow's "flawless plan" is.
