Altruism comes from the strangest places. Though it's pretty cool that the big cheese herself came to say bye-bye-bye to old Commander Hurricane.
I've always felt off in my Fallout Equestria game. My character is pretty altruistic, but it seems like the general world at large sees it as a bad thing. Yet, some NPCs seem to find my kindness to be something missing from the world and want to share in it, but at the same time they don't want to acknowledge it so they put on some tough-pony attitude or jerk facade so they don't appear weak to other NPCs... it's confusing.
Newbie, I don't know why, but I didn't take you for the type of human being to know what a tsundere was. This made me giggle.
Furthermore, this suddenly makes a lot of my past NPC interactions make so much more AND so much less sense...

Your post made me laugh so hard I swallowed my spit down the wrong pipe and choked. You should be proud. ^_^;
...*Ahem* If it makes you feel any better Digo, my cleric is altruistic like none other and even the world itself seems hell-bent on screwing him over for it. But then, you know this by now. Ironically, this just seems to give him more reason to continue being altruistic despite it all. Dang, I really need to get back to playing my cleric again.
@Toric: You should know exactly why. It's a towering European-descent man acting like a petit tsundere Japanese girl.
To (possibly mis)quote Angel, "We have to act as though the world is the way it SHOULD be, to show it what it CAN be."
Still, there are times when I wonder if the DM throws this crap at him because he enjoys watching me act out his reactions to it all. *Shrug*
@Digo: Someday, Digo, someday that dream will come true...
@CrowMagnon: That pretty much summarizes my cleric's outlook on things, yeah.
I suppose it could be said I'm too bright for Grimdark. :3
Gonna file this comic page under "Things my last local gaming group would NEVER do." They love taking credit for everything, even actions that resulted in a TPK.
Truly there was no such thing as bad publicity with them. I miss those murder-hobos. :D

Or at least I would if I hadn't just remembered that my first DnD group was like this to the point where many a sessions turned into shouting matches over who did/got/convinced/seduce/etc what. Things thankfully mellowed out over the years. Sadly, I can't say that I miss that time or that group. I'm having a much better time nowadays.
Troupe time
For today's troupe, Heads I win, Tails you lose.
Has that ever happened to you.
(Only one I can think of at the time)

Early in my role-playing days, D+D. It almost turned away from RPGs.
The DM had us meet a big-shot (Not sure if he WAS the BBEG) who had given us a quest, but made sure he got the lion's share of the loot while LAUGHING about it.
Being a newbie, I figured that the GM was just being a jerk and determined to kill his character out of spite. Another player joined the attack "just because" while the more experienced players yelled warnings.
"Rocks fell, everybody died" so to speak.

"Hello. I see you are here for my head, and it seems there is nothing I can do to stop you. But before you proceed, please notice the rope tied to my body. If it were to become detached from me, or if my body were to go slack for any reason - say, if I were to die - the floor beneath us would open into a pit of...well, let's just say you would have just enough time for your brains to process reports of your tails dying - possibly your hindquarters too, if you think quick - before you lost consciousness. I note that none of you are presently able to fly."
Unfortunately, the villain forgot about the "shoot the rope from outside the room" solution.

if there's one thing that impresses me with this comic, it's how you manage to keep people learning friendship lessons. It's honestly kinda incredible how you managed to weave your own adventures with the same graphics and characters.
Makes sense, since Twilight did sort of discover the burial ground by doing her magic skill roll. Its technically her 'find' so to speak.
And (cheaply) technically she reported it to the Princess. Were IRL Twilight not as Lawful Good as her character, she COULD say in that report that she found it...
Why am I cynical enough to think RD & AJ are setting Twilight up to get chased and harried down by the stampeding NPC mobs from "The Ticket Master"?
Well, Spud was taking guest comic submission until page 630 so... that would make for one heck of a funny way to end the arc. XD
Personally, I worry that this means Twilight won't get her own little adventure for a ticket and RD/AJ will double down.
As the princess of friendship, she's aptly suited to making sure her friends get plenty of perks.
I love the idea of Canterlot's historians literally talking the ancient ghost to the death. :D Why I have never seen such concept anywhere?
So, when you read Celestia's lines...did you hear them in canon Celestia voice, in Mentally Advanced Series Celestia voice, or other?
Mine. I rarely hear the cast voices when I read this stuff. That's not a criticism of Newbie, just how my mind works.
I looked back after reading this and I gotta say it fits the MAS tone a lot closer than the cannon Celestia. Just needs a backhoofed comment or a veiled threat and it would be perfect.
Today is more of a Crystal Empire day: direct and to the point.
*Oh*, I see where this is going. Twilight wins the race, earning a Gala ticket. And she discovers an ancient tomb, earning a Gala ticket. So now she has two Gala tickets and five friends who want tickets, and next we'll be getting the Friendship is Dragons version of The Ticket Master.
Then either they'll go through some series of shenanigans and end up earning the full set of tickets shown at the end of The Ticket Master, or we'll come back to that clip after they each individually go through some shenanigan to obtain one.

So... yeah, to justify that option existing now, you'll probably see me doing a lot more livestreaming in the future, maybe even to a weekly schedule. (Not immediately though. My region of the world is experiencing the tail end of a heat wave and I'm trying to go easy on my computer.)
