Because Wildy playing match maker means she's doing it as a primary for the lulz and secondary to help Jyrras.....
I'm dismayed by Abel's reluctance to engage in wacky antics. It's like he's actively refusing to break the fourth wall and expand his fan base!
Seriously, if Wildy wants to fix Jyrras up with someone so badly, why doesn't she go out with him? She's so much of a tomboy that-AUGH! WILDY'S COMING AFTER ME! HELP! AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Well, if it gets out of hand someone will generally ask you to tone it down a little, like now (unless they're in a bad mood, which unfortunately may be the case with Amber at the moment).
If you've read them, that's good. The main problem we have is people who simply

We don't know much about Wildy's combat arts. For all we know she may have some kind of magically enhanced punches or an enchanted contact lens that allows her to see weak points and hit them for massive damage.

Magical, weak-point-detecting punches might help if physical beings confront Wildy, but Karma is a fickle bitch, and no amount of kung fu and crotch shots will help when her tail falls off, or her house spontaneously explodes, or she finally pushes one of her friends too far and they snap on her, or (and it would be terrible if it happened) Biggs gets assassinated by dragons/mysterious enemies/would-be rulers of the Twink Territories.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think Wildy really deserves anything bad to happen to her. I'm just theorizing that should she ever get any backlash it'd be one hell of a sting.
As for the comic itself, I can't help but envision Wildy dressed up like a brown, fuzzy Cupid, firing arrows at people as they run away in terror. >:3
Sure, Wildy is kinda scary (the character, I've had the pleasure of speaking to the real one and she's a sweetheart and an excellent conversationalist) but folks around here seem to have the idea that she's some sort of unbeatable, killing/fighting machine. Yes, several powerful characters have (for comedy reasons I'm sure) expressed fear of her but I'd point out that 1) she's still a being and that 2) while she may be a shaman and thus have access to some sort of power as well as likely a bit of physical fighting experience, there are plenty of creatures about with plenty of their own power to call on and plenty of methods to enact violence on others. I think if any of them were to become serious about harming her, she'd be in some serious trouble.
Meh. I interpreted Wildy's last speak-bubble as a joke she was making. She's trying to help Jyrras... unfortunately, she's using a method that rarely works.
I hope Jyrras doesn't get hurt by this :<

There is something to be said for Charisma/Intimidation, even without the power to back it up. The Wildy character definitely has it, and it can really save your bacon, particularly when one considers some of the folks about in the comic. As long as people don't see through it, I figure our beloved little feisty ferret won't be having any troubles any time soon.
*Charline knows what the differences between friends and enemies are!* Silly Wildy. Enemies are people you crush mercilessly with pain and torment, and then kill them when they beg for mercy, after you slaughter all their loved ones before their very eyes and force-feed them with their flesh! :mwaha
Friends are people you use to your best advantage to gain the power and influence you need while pretending to care about them! Then if something goes wrong, you pile all the blame on them and abandon them to the angry mob! :mwaha
*for some reason, Charline doesn't have any friends...* I can't imagine why. :<

It's actually kind of odd with Willy.
Her nature seems to get her a lot off respect from the cubi at the Academy.
While at the same time it's mentioned she got a mauling from Regina.
I take it a lot of spunk in a small package gets Lot's of respect from more elder creatures that live in large groups while creatures with little respect for anything like Regina would consider her a tasty snack.
I would guess Willy at one time grow up with demons in her old neighborhood or just lived in a rough neighborhood at one time.

she is allowed to beat up or mess with. Enemies are a free for all. :mwaha

I agree. "Newly out friend"+"Asking men with ambiguous sexuality if they're gay and single" isn't much of a leap to "trying to get a boyfriend for aforementioned friend". It also sounds like Abel thinks Wildy's doing it at random which suggests he either A. doesn't realize Jy-Jy has the hots for him or B. thinks that Jy-Jy has the hots for
everyone now and isn't taking it seriously. Either way- he probably isn't reading Wildy's mind to find out that Jy seems to've targeted on him.
I also don't think he wants to read Wildy's mind. That's a dangerous place...
I don't think Wildy has to worry about backlash from her friends. Despite what Abel's saying she knows when to stop. She doesn't even *start* with Alexei, for example...

Those events did pave the way for many of the storylines and current characters. So even though it was still based on the game back then, it was sill important.

Sure, he might be gay. But he might just be bisexual too. We don't know for absolutely sure that his attraction to Lorenda was only because he was trying to prove to himself he wasn't gay.
Hey, I just realized this... Wildy's a shaman and Amber STILL hasn't made a Shaman King reference!
But regardless, that begs the question... Is Jyrras really gay or is still confused about it? (Unlike Abel, he hasn't had a couple hundred years to get to know himself and mostly hides in his lab.) Hell, is WILDY gay?! She seems more into her mind games than relationships so it's anyone's-HOLY CRAP! SHE'S COMING BACK FOR ROUND TWO! AND SHE'S GOT A PLUNGER! EEEEEEEEYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

And how could his attraction to Lorenda be that? I think someone's in denial....
Something worth mentioning here: Abel said that Jyrras has "decided" he's gay. Does that mean he doesn't believe Jyrras really IS gay?

So it HAS been brought up already.

Either way, he really seemed to be playing (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_562.php) with Jyrras's interest in him at first (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_864.php). Of course, that could have just been him trying to unnerve and confuse Jyrras away. But still.

To tell the truth, I find the term "decided he's gay" totally appropriate.
Even ignoring that I am not yet sure he really is gay (too soon to tell without him having entered any relationship) he didn't just discover it and get on with his life. He started broadcasting it all around up to the point where he adjusted his behaviour so that "certain obligations must be fulfilled".
In addition to "he discovered he is gay" I would call this behaviour "he has decided he is gay".

In terms of Abel 'playing' with Jyrras while at SAIA,
Strip 570 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_570.php) is arguably quite important here. What he was doing earlier was not unlike the bat thing with Dan - something he assumed they'd be able to cope with but misjudged.
What he did in the RoDP arc is considerably later and after they'd been around each other a while. It looks to me like a slightly snarky jab at someone he considers a friend (even if he doesn't really know it himself).

Abel could be more critical of the fact Jyrras seems to think that him learning that he's gay means he has to renovate his entire personality to fit flamboyant stereotypes, rather than Jyrras's revelation itself.

:mowninja Me thinks it is time to switch the subject to something different.
Here's a question that's been bugging me... the source of Fa'Lina's omnipotence. Any thoughts? I know the longer she's away from SAIA, the more that power weakens. Still, what exactly grants her that power?
I think you mean omniscience.
Omnipotence means ultimate power; translated literally, it means all-powerful, I think. I think we're all aware that a) there are limits to what Fa'Lina can do, and b) being away from SAIA doesn't change her power level, just her knowledge.

I'll believe it when I see it. Comedy or not, her capacity for bullying others regardless of apparent power level - and being a karma houdini save for Abel's one shot about writing Janus Bond - is unwholesome and irritating. Our thoughtwaves are incompatible. :B
I've had a (female) roommate with a very Wildy (the character) like personality, and I now can savely claim that such a personality is a) not an inch exaggerated and b) can be scary enough even without any magical powers. :S
But honestly, just like that roomate, I think this is mostly for show. I mean, even now she isn't just randomly asking people to hook up with Jyrras, she is trying to help him after this conversation (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_997.php), even if it's the Wildy way of helping.
As for powers, I mean they all are still friends. I think it would need a little more than that to get Abel into full battle mode. Though maybe Wildy will end up wit some embarrassing dreams for the rest of the week, who knows :P

Here's a question that's been bugging me... the source of Fa'Lina's omnipotence. Any thoughts? I know the longer she's away from SAIA, the more that power weakens. Still, what exactly grants her that power?
Agreeing with llearch, I think it's more like omniscience. (which obviously is a "professionals only" type plot device, too. Luckily, Amber is a professional 8) )
As for the reasons, I have my hopes that this will become important later, but for now, after all Fa'lina were the one who founded and built SAIA and she was already powerful enough back then. So it's not far-fetched she will have put her fair share of powerful charms on the academy, too. (If you think about it, not unlike another powerful magic user and another magical education cen... *gets strangled*)
I guess that's just her very good observation and interpretation capabilities.
After a few thousand years of monitoring the behavior of everyone at SAIA, she just can pretty much predict how any student or teacher would act/react to a given situation.
*Sneaks up in a cardboard box.*
QuoteHey, if you want to talk smack about Wildy, try playing DDR with her and Dan first. Otherwise you'll keep getting a plunger shoved up your censored.
I have NO sense of rhythm. The only way I could possibly win is by tossing some shiny objects in front of her and hope she gets too distracted to focus on the game. And even then, I wouldn't bet on myself. Hey, did anyone else just hear the sound of a flamethrower being lit? Oh HELL no... GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

She says omnipotent... meh, doesn't really matter. However one interprets it, the conclusion is the same: Fa'Lina is powerful. Plain and simple.

That was a mistake on amber's part if I'm not mistaken...
semantics, she said "Semi-Omnipotent"
so she's either Very powerful, or Drives one heck of a big rig. >:3
