DERP (split from A celebration of FreeSpace)
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. :)

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

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.

derp de derp
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

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.

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.
