I see we've reached the point of attacking people's characters for voicing a different opinion.

Shut up! No one is doing that and you are completely wrong for saying that.
Fool.

I like it here, makes me laugh to see how funny I am.

Overreact much?

Telling someone their masculinity must be threatened because they have a different opinion is vaguely doing that...

My comment was meant to be a joke commenting on how these discussions devolve into meaningless attacks... As they often do.

You can always ignore me if you don't like what I say...

But no one here really has the right to tell anyone else to "shut up" and there's no need for name calling.

Have fun being funny.

I'm pretty sure Clem was being sarcastic with his comment...

I agree...I just don't know if others will recognize that.

I agree...I just don't know if others will recognize that.

I read it and wondered whether people would recognise the humour. I did, and the irony of it made me chuckle. The fact that they signposted the fact they were intending humour at the end made it less likely to miss, so I left it.

Pretty sure people will flag if they have a problem with it and if so, I'll review my position.

Blackstone

My submission for the next character:

5* AOA Clembiote ( @ThisisClemFandango )

Affiliations: all of them.

Sarcastic rage: Clem quips and the enemy team recoils. The enemy team takes 55,000 damage. Any enemies still up at the end of the turn gain 60,000 true healing as they realize it was just a joke.

Shut up, fool!: Create a 4 turn fortified CD tile. While this CD is active, no enemy powers, including passives, can be activated. If an enemy passive attempts to proc, stun that enemy for one turn and increase the CD by one.

Here for fun: If Clem would take damage while an enemy is stunned, instead divide the damage evenly among all stunned enemies while Clem laughs and laughs.

Please don't remove on my account...I found it funny...I'm just not as funny myself.

I'm Clem Fandango and I approve this message.
Having reread this I would totally roster me

There's the problem, I can see you went to the Liam Neeson school of improv.

If I may ask a question with your mod head on, would it be helpful if I stated when I'm joking? I am more than happy to add the following to any and all posts

This is a joke
In fact if you've got a minute it's a 12 storey joke with magnificent carpeting throughout, turn down service in all rooms and a big neon sign that says "this is a joke"

Maybe you could have some sort of visual prompt you put at the end like a winky but not a winky? Like a clown face? Except Clowns are evil and I would immediately want you banned. So...uhm...maybe some sort of humorous font?

You know you can't change font on here?
I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do, it's not in my nature to be normal.
I've got something wrong with me, or, something is wrong with everyone else who doesn't see me as some sort comedy genius.

Bad

Acting preemptively, before someone appeared claiming for it: no, this character just doesn't deserve a non derailed thread. Maybe the next one if devs reformed themselves.
So everything is completely all right. Thanks.

It might help in the earlier example. There are some things (e.g. racist/sexist jokes) that just putting "It's a joke" after would not make it acceptable. But there's a finer line in other contexts and that comes down to knowing your audience and them knowing you. If in doubt, put a disclaimer.

OK but it sounds alot of work and negates being humorous when i point out im being humorous, maybe I shouldn't post anything funny which will severely limit my posting ability.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time we've had this conversation.

To be clear, I agree about negating the humour element. I'm not advocating putting a disclaimer every time and I think in the majority of instances it is not a problem. I just answered your question "would it be helpful?" in a probably too literal way.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time we've had this conversation.

Once, someone sardonically called me a "Humor Genius" because I said something they didn't like...

So I wrote that on a napkin and took a picture of it.

Now it's my profile picture so if anyone thinks I said something offensive, they can look at the picture and know I'm just joking.

At least, that's how it worked in my head, but I might be the only person that finds it funny.
