The [GM]Dave Fan Club Update

Okay, donations for the month of April are now closed.

Of course, you probably figured that out since it is now May.

Things went very well, I must say, and I am very impressed with how much people seem to appreciate the blog.

Is it too soon to start calling you Daviacs? Or Davites?

I will be doing up a mailing list later this evening and should get your free Fan Giftpack sent out by tormorrow. I'm still working on a few odds and ends to make it something the fans will enjoy.

The contest for highest donation of the month was extremely heated. I thought it would go to someone bidding 7 or 8 dollars.

I was wrong.

I will not say the highest donation, but I will tell you I nearly fell off my chair when I saw it. There were a number of very high amounts, but one was head and shoulders above.

That supporter will be contacted this evening to see if and how he would like to take part in a blog entry. Should that person decline, I will move to the second highest donation.

Again, thank you very much for the support. It means a lot.

Tonight, when I'm feeding some mouth breathing fish botter to a dragon, I'll be smiling.

Well... smiling more than usual.

Congratulations Dave!

I apologize for not donating; rent was due yesterday and I was slightly strapped... ; ;

Will there be open donations for May? I would very much love to be a member of your fan club. =P

The fan club will be continued each month for as long as the blog continues.

Or I achieve world domination.

Also, if you can't donate, that is still cool. I appreciate any form of support you want to give.

And, Galkizzle, if I wanted your gil, I'd just take it out of your inventory.

Actually, I deleted your posts because they have nothing to do with this post.

Not you, Galkizzle. Your posts were very cool.

No one, GM or otherwise, has to buy fecal matter from NPCs.

You want excrement from an NPC just talk to any NPC from San d'Oria.

They spew scatological waste at you for free.

I hate San d'Orians.

Hello. My name is Celyia and I am a Dave-oholic. I've been addicted for the last month and constantly need my daily fix. While it's true that addictions tend to be destructive (even more so than usual once you add a certain dragon to the equation), this is one thing I enjoy too much to give up. ;; So, forgive me while I camp this blog even more than I ever camped the Valkurm Emperor. >.>

Congrats, Dave.^^ Glad to see you getting support and I hope next month I'll be able to submit to the peer pressure and donate, too.^^

Sigh.

Rasanette, it's only good if the people giving you attention are on your side.

Being the biggest moron is not the same as winning.

Of course, someone has to win the gold medal at the Special Olympics, too. Might as well be you.

So back in the day when I worked tech support phones, there was a pre-blogger blog (now defunct, alas woe) that a bunch of people posted to daily because human stupidity hurts, and when you're working, you have to be nice. When you hang up the phone, you can spew about what a blithering moron that caller was. Anyway, every... single... day.... someone would reply to our collective cries of pain with something along the lines of "omg u ppl are so mean how can you say such things about your customers" and "if you hate it so much why don't you get a real job" or my favorite "well this stuff is funny but real people aren't that stupid."

Oh hell yes they are. I think anyone reading this far in the comments realizes that now.

Incidentally, Goblin Smithy and [GM]Dave are the same person/writing team, but they are not the same person/writing team as Simon Travaglia who writes the One and Only BOFH (http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/bofh/).

P.S. "you're not my f'ing customer, you're an idiot who purchased an expensive product but didn't read the manual and you're blaming your stupidity on me. i didn't even make the stinking product, or recommend it, it's just my job to explain it to you. now shut up and listen." "what the hell do you think i'm doing here? how else am i supposed to pay for college you moron?" and "quod est demonstratum"

And oh, I'm between jobs O Great and Mighty Dave so I miss out on this month :D

I take any comparison to BOFH or Acts of Gord as an extreme compliment. I'm not near as funny as either of those guys.

I just got my fanclub package YAY!

Thank you GM Dave you rock. And on the note of my membership card...I will never bother you about becoming a Dragon Snack. I have a hard enough time keeping myself alive...unless of course you promise to Raise III me afterwards...
