I think I figured Wildy would be ready to kill something.
Heh, well Wildy's only really violent when angry, and I don't think the question is the sort to anger her. Anyway, I'm sort of in her situation right now so I can totally agree with this point of view, no point in dating when you're not ready. Though working out with Wildy would be cool.
She goes from sarcastic to evil in 2 seconds, and she's as unpredictable as all get out. So it's perfectly plausible that shes not gonna kill something.

True, but she's also shown a lot of restraint, except when people push her buttons, and personally I'd not want to do that, I enjoy having my pelvis not adjacent to my collarbone.
wildy has a damn intelligent stance on it.
and i for one honestly can't understand people who feel the *need* for constantly being in relationships, or those who think relationships > friendships.
bros before hos, man.
Though I don't approve of the choice of words in 'bros before hos' I do agree that friends before relationships is a good prioritization.
As logical as such an answer may sound, most of the times it is brought up by some sort of rescent disappointment, that has left the person unable to commit to anyone at the moment. Mind you that such decision are not made by the mind, but by the heart. The mind just finds the rationalization for it!

Also true, but about the only one's who push her buttons, as you say, are ones who kidnap her friends, for example, like the SAIA arc, or Biggs. Or the stupidest people who have walked the land.

That's some thing we all should know. We don't *need* to be in a relationship, sometimes, or even most of the time, we're better off not being in a relationship. Foamy also has a say in this, see here (http://www.friendsoffoamy.com/videos/foamys-rant-episode-023). It's not a lot but it makes a point. Much swearing in it.

This is good advice, although "The Boondocks" says homies over hos.
Kipiru: I can't find a response to that.//
Of course, she doesn't want a relationship tying her down. She wants a relationship tying someone else down. :rolleyes
So, vote Wildy King of Furre. (She doesn't want the sissy title Queen of Furre.)
With regards,
Ted
I'll just call her Supreme Ebil Overlord of Furre.
She can be my supreme overlord anytime, I'd be her willing minion! Besides, being a minion means I get all the fun of world domination, without the stress of developing plans. Plus plenty of adventure, I'd just have to watch out for secret agents, I'd probably subvert standard minion stupidity to the best of my ability.
And back on topic:

I don't know if she's coming back from a bad experience, but then maybe she was expecting something to happen with Jyrras when she wrote the book and when he walked away when she offered to let him hit her she was disappointed, but that's the only thing I can think of that fits your theory for her. As for myself I haven't had a relationship in a while, and the last one just kind of ended abruptly.
Wow, the worst part is that she's almost exactly like a good friend of mine. Oh well, fav character.
I suppose I really don't get people who aren't looking for a relationship, like Wildy. Life is pretty short, when it comes down to it. If you don't act now, you'll wind up alone for the rest of your life.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm scheduled to cry myself to sleep.

It's understandable to me. Some people (myself included) don't want some kind of relationship tying them down. I've known plenty of people who's greatest achievement will probably end up getting pregnant (right out of high school, even) and there are those that couldn't see themselves raising a family at this point. Differing priorities, I guess.

Ooh, what does this one do? <poke>
>WHAP!!!<
Personally I agree with the concept of repression.
I think she has feelings for Dan ( may not be aware of it herself ) and since she instinctivly knows he is not ready ( for anyone at this time ) and sees her as just a friend she is playing the waiting game ( perhaps also unknowingly ) to make sure Dan is either out of the picture or that she is ready to move on.
But then I am a hopeless romantic.
She's not looking for romance, but you know, if she can go sweet to evil in 2 seconds flat, she can go disinterested to married over the course of a long weekend. Or a short weekend. Or maybe a particularly late night out on the town. :P
I've totally seen that happen to people who talked just like her. Not all of them by a long shot, but she seems the type.

... And there you just went wrong, I think. Perhaps I'm just strange, but I prefer hanging out with my wife to hanging out with my friends. One of the reasons I married her.
Balance is important, of course - one has to have some time alone, some time with your partner, and some time with your friends, but you do need all three. IMO.

I actually doubt that Wildy would ever really intend to dismember Dan, she does however depend on how gullible he is for this torture.

Yes, it does, but if your hypothesis includes that the pushing the buttons of ferret you know to be dangerous, you should not be surprised when she maims you upon pressing said buttons during testing.

Yeah well, if you do any kind of testing on Wildy that she didn't approve of of course you're gonna get hurt.
Stress huh? The question is For who?
One wonders how long Wildy's attitude would hold up if she met a Being/Creature she really liked though........ *chuckles nastily* especially if they liked that outfit she wore in comic 173......

Your wife.
"Behind every great man, there is a great woman. Behind her is the wife."
Hum. I suppose I'm not too surprised by Wildy's answer. I just hadn't considered it before.

It's not so much that it was taken seriously, as much as that I tried to run with it and failed. Much like any attempt to date Wildy.
That's alright as Wildy can be good friends with anyone :3
Yeah, she can be good friends with anyone, it just depends on whether she wants to or not.
Wildys opinion I can not only agree to but relate to as well.
Relationships can be a pain at any given time, even if they are seemingly good ones.
Many of my friends are all in a rush to get into a relationship, and most of them have already crashed and burned numerous times. I on the other hand am standing by and trying to sort out the majority of my life before I begin considering partnership. After all if/when I do find a person I like, I want to give all that I can to keeping them happy. Which I imagine would be extremely difficult and stressful if I do not have a handle on my own life yet.
Not saying trying is wrong, but its rather silly to run into anything before your actually ready..
...with a frying pan (or some other type of bludgeoning instrument).
i am under the belief that wildy WOULD like dates, however she would only enjoy it without the boyfriend/girlfriend part.
yeah, why ruin a night of good food, fun, and recreation by having to maintain a boyfriend like a virtual pet or something where you need to actually imput attention
LIES LIES AND MORE LIES!!! (it says at the bottom of the pic) Perfect date WILDY! that is no the perfect date....she looks like shes about to rip my head off......eeeeeeeeeee save me!!! *runs off in fear* XD
I share Wildy's viewpoint on this. I have too much going on, maybe later. I've been happy without any form of relationship up to this point in my life, and I can damn well stay happy without them.

It's not saying she's the perfect date, it's showing her idea (none right now) of a perfect date. Why do you think she's about to rip your head off, did you say the sweatpants make her butt look fat?
Sorry if previously asked, but how are the backgrounds done for this arc? Do you draw them, Amber, and then blur- or does it start as a picture?
Really the art- shading and coloring in particular- for this is just really pretty.
Awwww, me favorite character isn't available. Oh well, I can still totally rule her in Street Fighter II!
He he you wish. :mwaha
Though I would imagine she would respect you quite alot if you could, or beat you to a pulp for defeating her.

What? Where?
Quote from: AmigaDragon on November 05, 2008, 10:52:59 PMWhat? Where?
There's a bit of an in-joke here, but most of it should be pretty accessible once you know what we're talking about. B^U refers to Tim
Buckley, author of Ctrl+Alt+Del, which gets a lot of justifiable crap from real webcomic artists. (The B^U in particular is a reference to the stoned, slack jawed expression that all his characters have at all times. VGCats also did a pretty funny April Fools strip called Be Up Arrow You)
Anyways, the reason for bringing it up is that Tim is known for lifting photos and simply blurring them for use as backgrounds. I've been well-trained in my Buckley hate, so the blurred photo effect sort of jumped out at me when I saw the Perfect Date strips.
Though I certainly don't have anything against Amber for using that method.
I actually think the photographic backgrounds are very appropriate, given the fact the comics are supposed to resemble a dating sim. It makes the individual pages look more authentic. Plus Amber's in top form with the shading and coloring of her characters.
Not to mention, c'mon, guys, she's churning out pages at a constant rate. She needs to take a few shortcuts to make the workload easier on her.

Like I said, I don't have any issue with it. It's just that I have negative associations with the style (unless it's in a sprite comic, in which case, I'm reading 8-bit Theatre).

Come on over to Halfpixel. Our most recent thread of Buckley hate is 63 pages long (http://www.halfpixel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10905).
Personally, I think hating someone for a style of backgrounds is horrible and borderline evil.

Oh, no. I hate him because he steals comics. Also because of the WoW guild thing and the fact that he's a tepid artist who creates bland artwork from templates and never challenges himself. Seriously, watch the Abandoned Mine. I'll see if I can't find the make your own CAD thread.

Yes, he has a story recently. He has done for a while. It's a good one. Now, I can't say anything about his character, and I doubt you can, either. When you do, THEN you can hate. Until then, think seriously about the meaning of hate, and don't go anywhere near me.

You will note I said nothing about hating him - merely criticised the strip itself. So.. why is it you feel that any attack on the contents of the strip are an attack on Tim himself?
Perhaps you should think about that a bit.

Meh. I'll admit that I said I hate Tim Buckley. I suppose it's more of an aversion and morbid curiosity, though, and I just use the word hate as shorthand.
I would like to point out in my defense that I said my peace and then shut up because I didn't want to keep taking this off-topic.
And for my next trick, I will shut up about this and hope the thread goes back on topic.
Sorry, but yeah. I heard him say hate, and then just assumed everyone agreeing with him meant hate.
Sorry about that. Guess I'm a bit stupid sometimes.
So yeah, I guess as a way of introducing myself to everyone, I shall say that I am a college student who also feels like he does not need the extra stress of a relationship at the moment.
Maybe someday, when I've cleaned up the mess that is my life a little bit more.
i wouldn't mind waiting after all love is worth it. problem is is she willing too look when she's ready or will she just take the one she's already chosen?
