OMG LEXI I FOUND IT COME SEE

[Tomas Elliot]

So, a LONG while ago, I found this little gem around the internet: it is a guy telling us about his misadventures in a forum-based roleplay. I am not exaggerating when I say, it is one of the funniest, most memorable things I have ever read, so when Lexi mentioned in in a status update earlier, I decided to set out on a quest, to find it and share it with all of you, so that it wouldn't be forgotten.

And I found it.

It is therefore with joy and commotion in my heart that I give to you:

THE BALLAD OF EDGARDO AND A GUY CALLED SQUID!

>5000 words

What person with an exam tomorrow has time to read a story like that?

I'll give it a go some day, and until then, trust your judgement that it's the best thing ever.

It annoys me when people judge stuff exclusively from word count.

And it's not the story per se. It's that there are so many things in there one can relate to. We have all had our share of pricks to deal with around the internet, and we have all acted petty sometimes. It's a tale of the internet.

[Shamitako]

YES, EDGARDO, YOU FOUND IT I HAVE COME TO SEE

Teh status for teh curious

I love you so much RN Tomas <3

I kept thinking it was Dargor or something like that, although I knew it was only one letter off being a normal name

Sorry. I didn't mean to give a negative impression, that probably came off as a bit more aggressive than I had intended. It does sound interesting from first glance, and I'll give it a look tomorrow.

>Because fuck you
>He’s Goldnharl

I remember that Doc loved this line

THE BALLAD OF EDGARDO AND A GUY CALLED SQUID!

That was beautiful. Truly a wonderful tale.

[Arkhi]

Yeah but 5000 words on the week before finals is rough.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I already love this. Thanks for sharing!

This story is beautiful. Nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Long life Edgardo and Squid, those glorious bastards <3

[Combat]

I just finished reading this story, and this makes me feel like a better person because of it. Being someone who has become somewhat sick of the edge factor that has taken over the internet, this was a nice, refreshing look into the human psyche. It truly is amazing what happens on the internet sometimes. Thank you, a hundred fold, for showing me the story of two very unlikely heroes.

Don't forget Goldnharl D:

[Flynn]

This is straight up one of the greatest reads I have had the pleasure of ignoring the class lecture for. I don't think I stopped grinning and choking on laughter a single moment.

[Sutoratosu]

This tale...

Glorious.

Just fucking glorious. Three men, on a mission to stand against a shit ton of whinny edgelords and ass kissers. Inspiring stuff, this, NGL

[Hiss13]

Don't forget Goldnharl D:

Goldnharl was a respectable human being. A true man of honor.

[Sutoratosu]

Oh, btw, apparently the story's thread on the site has an official soundtrack...just found it in one of the lower posts.

((And a pastebin as well: http://pastebin.com/HsG5iPC4 ))

good choice, I say.

"In the middle of town square, Edgardo and A Guy Called Squid shared a sweaty, shirtless, muscley, manly hug for all the world to see. It was super homo."

Absolutely beautiful.

This is one of the best things I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Thank you for sharing it.

[AuthorReborn]

Bookmarking it for whenever I have the time to fully enjoy this splendor.

I remember that Doc loved this line

I love that line too. Laughed out loud as soon as I got to it. XD

Damn, that was a great read, though. Thank you much for sharing both Lexi and Tomas.

My favorite line was probably this one though:

>Swift uppercut, Battle Cry, unlimited Raw Spirit punch.

>Khaine gets punched into the sun. Cue shit being lost by absolutely everyone again.

[rustytengo]

That was a great read. Goes to show you that if your clever you can out maneuver god moders in a Rp.

>Goldnharl weathered the tide, taking kunai and fireballs and shadow spears without so much as flinching.
>Because fuck you
>He’s Goldnharl

this.

[Tomas Elliot]

OMG this got so much attention while I was asleep!

Well, I am glad you people enjoyed it. Considering how old the whole thing is, it would have been a pity if it had just ended up forgotten...

Never forger Edgardo and A Guy Called Squid!

... And Goldnharl too.

[Ojama Yellow]

Okay my previous post was after looking it at for like 20 seconds, now I read through the whole thing. And I gotta say.

Holy.

Mother.

Of.

God.

Edgardo and Squid. Holy shit. I can't even believe this. No matter what anyone says, these men will never get enough praise for this.

I think this is the best story I have ever read. Bookmarking for whenever.

[Shing]

Holy fuck, what a read that was.
