How to avoid telling real names,
and how to keep heads straight

[VariaVespasa]

Actually thats last weeks. He's a bit late with this weeks. I froth in anticipation! :)

[RustMonster]

I'm not late -- the comic always goes up at 12 noon, EST. I used to update at midnight, but I find having an extra morning to work on it lets me catch the errant typo or coloring error.

In other, better news: the dispute is finally over. I've posted the details for those interested. I'm just glad it's settled.

[VariaVespasa]

Oh so you're not. Sorry, I had you down in my mind as a monday updater for some reason. I shall go hide my shame now! :)

On the other hand, if you wanted to update on mondays as well.... :P

Carry on. :)

[Squark]

Good to hear everything worked out reasonably well in the end.

[TheEmerged]

So consider this my quota of "Thanks Mr. Golden!"

[EmeraldRose]

Indeed. I'm happy for you that it was resolved and you can now continue to provide us with our weekly Rusty fix.

Seriously though, I'm very happy for you that it was worked out!

[The Glyphstone]

Mr. Golden sounds very expensiveexperienced in this sort of thing...does that mean there will shortly be a 'Pay My Attorney Fees' Kickstarter?


Also, who got banished from the Cast Page?

[Athedia]

Mr. Golden, sounds slightly superhero-ish. Well count this as my thanks.

[Squark]

Also, who got banished from the Cast Page?

The tentacalis and maybe one or two others- the guys not in the SRD, mainly.

Also, RustMonster, counting the title pages but skipping the critical missives, you're now on comic #197 (196 if you skip the contentless first title page). Any plans for something special in 3-4 comics for the Big 2-0-0? (Crossposted from the comments on the most recent comic).

Not really. I don't go much for milestones and I've kinda got my hands full with shipping out all the plushes. (Also, I had to rewrite the end to this arc, since I'm pretty sure WOTC would not have approved of the original idea.)

[Ravens_cry]

I must admit, the big box of Rusty's was just adorable.

Did the terms of the settlement give them some further monitoring/executive control of the site?

[RustMonster]

Did the terms of the settlement give them some further monitoring/executive control of the site?

Heck no. The site never left my control.

[The Glyphstone]

Okay, good. I wondered because you said you had to change the end of the story arc to not upset them/because it might have upset them, and I wondered what could have caused that. After all, you were apparently allowed to keep the entire Tenticali story arc up and un-retconned, despite prominently featuring the 'Squid Thingies'.

[RustMonster]

Okay, good. I wondered because you said you had to change the end of the story arc to not upset them/because it might have upset them, and I wondered what could have caused that.

Nah. The end of the arc just involved lots of use of one of the terms they objected to. I was sort of setting up a really terrible series of puns. I can't do them now so I had to rewrite. I think it'll still be good though.

This is yuan-titillating to all bad pun lovers, but we shouldn't feel yuan-titled to know the originally-planned joke and instead we should await the revised version with yuan-ticipation.

soo..

you asked several attorneys to take your case.

they said "sorry we're too busy" and gave you some FREE advice instead?!?

what does this tell you about the popularity of WOTC- (or IP-) Attorneys?

That's not quite right. When you start explaining your case to a lawyer, before you've actually hired them, they'll tell you a few things to do to avoid making the situation worse. Some of them said they could take the case but I went with Mr. Golden because he was an expert in intellectual property law, and the only one who contacted me first, and he was also a fan of the comic.

[EmeraldRose]

*snip*
and he was also a fan of the comic.

No wonder he fought so hard to keep it.

[VariaVespasa]

Its 9.44pm- you're late for your monday update! Yes I now know you update on wednesdays, but at least I'm just living in denial now, instead of ignorance!

That *is* better, right?.... :P

[VariaVespasa]

Hmm. Madelline is such a sweetie I have the feeling that her evil side is just someone who slightly undertips her server and suchlike? :P

[Ravens_cry]

Either that or a being so evil that she upstages the hipster vampires. Which would be awesome as I am really starting to hate those guys.

[Athedia]

I think she will be super evil and smart about it. Evil Opposites anyone?

[Keld Denar]

I sent a thank you email to Mr Golden (you can find his professional e-card online pretty easily). He sent me an email back that was really nice. Turns out he is/was a gamer himself. It gives me all sorts of feels to see the gamer community stick together in such an awesome fashion.

Eagerly awaiting my very own Rusty the Plush Monster!

[Keld Denar]

Zomgogglez! I Got My Rusty Plushy Today!
Words...failing...so...cute...

*headasplode*
Pppppppffffffffffffffffhhhhhhhhhttttttttttttt!

[The Glyphstone]

Eat iron-rich blood?

[Squark]

Today's update proves that just because the audience saw something coming from miles away, doesn't mean it can't be satisfying.
