Players; can't make a sane campaign with them, can't make a good story without them.
It isn't often that the GM and the Mane Six are in this adversarial a relationship. He's obviously more frustrated than usual...
... Since when? The GM has never been confirmed to be male or female.
I always thought of the DM as a fictional version of Spud.
I think Drax is referring to the fan comic in which the DM is Lauren Faust.
But yeah, she's obviously frustrated, lol.
Now. I'm willing to bet that the players will throw tantrums when RD rolls a 20 and the GM asks for another roll. And another, keeping with the three 20s ruling before; after all, the GM never agreed to honor the one-20-fast-talk-change.
Makes sense, really. Because the previous rolls were not cutting it; they were still sitting at a .0125% chance, whereas now, they managed to bump their odds up to 5%.
Personally, if players stall for time this obviously, I just consider that time keep going in the game, meaning in this case that the ground keeps rushing at Rarity's face. Usually make them stop stalling and act already. :p
I really want next comic for there to be even more delay on this roll.
If I was the GM I would have taken the backup plan off the table by now. "You want to punch out the three NPCs I sent to rescue you from your own mistake? Have fun rerolling your character."
And how is it better then "I'll give you impossible difficulty on your roll so I could still make my NPCs save the day when you'll fail?"
Remind me when I was the only one that could save up the situation so I took all ourDK's left and threw a bucket of dice.
I think we talked like 20min before I rolled because ever since we knew there were a monster my character was boasting about how he'll kill it single handedly. Turned up it was the best roll I ever mamde, ending with a pretty cool arrow through our little Manticore problem. Lucky us because we had 1 inconscious, 1 dying of falling 60m, 1 hanging on the edge and 1 low level failing all his rolls. XD
DM managed to make me lose my magic arrow and make the Manticore unlootable though TT

My very favorite Fuzzy Knights strip:
http://www.kenzerco.com/images/periodicals/TTW/phpslideshow.php?directory=.¤tPic=189
Ben talks the party into Featherfalling down through the levels of a dungeon instead of working their way down, they find a dragon at the bottom that they could have picked up stuff on their way down to defeat, Ben talks the dragon into shooting itself with a suicide bolt.
And then the dragon, having killed itself, gets all the XP.

If the girls aren't careful, the GM is going to rage quit on them again =/
All my tabletop games are online via text with a bunch of very easily distracted people, so the frustration can be very real.
