Title: DERP (split from A celebration of FreeSpace)
Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on March 22, 2010, 09:50:54 am
If you don't know the significance of "DERP", get on IRC moar! It's an in-joke.

It's not so much an in-joke as it is a cue for any IRC operator except Goober to kick you, and a cue for Goober to ban you. If it is enough to piss both him and Axem off, it's nearly enough to piss me off.

If you continue persistently using "derp" on IRC all the time, I will regret having reversed Goober's ban on you for as long as my memory on that can serve me, and I will make it a point to ban you if I become an operator on HLP IRC again.

In the meantime, you can call your purple beam a "Derp Cannon".

I will concede, however, that you have an excellent taste in title fonts. If I was ignorant of your history of using derp on IRC (or if I forget, which is unlikely to happen), I would go so far as proclaim that it is THE best title screen I've ever seen in a fan-made FreeSpace thing. :)

Heh, thanks. I can't take full credit for it though- see my screenshot with the lens flare two pages ago? That's actually the backdrop for this logo. So I didn't really "make" it in that regard, Lightspeed did.

You can partially credit Battuta for my choice of the font, too. Without his input I'd probably still be using some crazy font with serifs all over the place.

I'm renaming the campaign, too. It used to be a derp campaign, but like I said, the tone has gotten increasingly darker, and the Big Bad (DarthGeek) has turned from Affably Evil to Complete Bastard very quickly. :nervous: Fortunately, I still have the .xcf, so renaming it and keeping the same title image is as easy as redoing the text effects.

WTF does DERP even mean, and why is it so offensive you want to ban people for using it? :wtf:

Where's Aardwolf and his custom title of "Spoiled Derp!"?

Derp is an imageboard expression used to denote speech without meaningful ideas or information being involved.

Arguably, just like both our posts.

Basicely a condensed expression of trolling?

Not really. It's quite possible to to express nothing worthwhile or meaningful without trolling.

It's a very non-verbose way of saying that someone's statements/opinions are stupid. 

Pic unrelated.

Actually I think it's hilarious.  I didn't ban Shivan Hunter aka DarthGeek for derping, but rather for trolling.  And I was going to lift the ban in a day if you hadn't.

Derp is okay if used sparingly. NOT okay if you're doing it ALL THE TIME, or just to piss someone off.

Hey, did you ever notice if you say "derp de derp" out loud several times, people will never associate with you in public again?

And yet it seems that people love you more if you post on HLP while severely drunk... :p
