    *Salutes*

    *Clicks boot heals together*

    Yes, sir. I will stop smiling.

    Henson I hate making a fuss about this kind of thing it makes me feel really awkward and it's sometimes hard to draw a line...

    I'm just trying to nip a potential problem in the bud before it escalates because I've seen it all happen here before when Narmis started it. I had to insta-kill a build by Nobodybeast about a year ago for the same kind of thing...

    Want me to delete my Camonna Tong for you? I used some jokes in there, I guess I should get rid of it.

    You might be mistaking humor for obvious incorporated choices of his role play.

    To each his own though, that's why there is a like button. I liked this, you don't have to.

    It's not in the group guidelines though Ben...

    The Town Drunk pushes very close to a joke build as well, one wonders where to draw the line on 'what is a joke' because everyones humour is different...

    I've said my bit and apparently I'm incorrect so I'm just going to leave it in the groups hands. I think it's a sad day when things like this are more popular than Albino's Quarra build that was posted at around the same time.

    I'll wait until Henson posts a build he's spent weeks on at the same time as some other joke build and see if he enjoys it so much then...

    I hear ya. When they crop up, more power to you for deleting what you deem unnecessary.

    I just don't see the big fuss. This isn't Narm and is hilarious with an actual build with actual content.

    I don't really care that much what you do lol. I would love it if people stop inflating the issue and causing even more distractions to other builds. All this digression is actually more harmful to what you call "joke builds" in my eyes.

    There have been good "joke" builds in the past. The most recent one I can think of prior to the Cabbage Farmer is the Combustion Golem. It had hilaiously stupid special attacks consisting of "Punch it to Death" and "Burn It!", but its mechanics and presentation were solid. The author followed the basic guidelines and didnt leave readers hanging as to how to recreate his build. 

    Its exceedingly rare to come across a joke build that actually generates any likes. I've seen many failed attempts go by. Remember the Savage Glutton build (is that build even still around)? Remember how that build relied on dropping a F-bomb at least once per sentence to get a laugh? Remember how miserably it failed? I think it generated a pitiful 3 likes. 

    Point is, writing is a huge part of what makes a build successful. It takes a great writer to make people laugh. Its the reason why builds such as The Kook and The Town Drunk are so successful. 

    Rest assured, the flood gates have not been broken. Creating joke builds to farm likes is not nor will it ever become the next big thing. From what I see released on a typical day, most people can't write a serious build to save their lives. So something as difficult to write as humor is out the window already. 

    On a side note I agree that the naked pics need to be gone like yesterday.

    @Mason - I don't post for likes.

    No one said you are incorrect. You are the boss, so you can do whatever.

    I would enjoy it just as much, friendo. I post my builds in the chance someone would like to play it, not to care if it gets buried by a joke, even if only one person wants to play it.
