Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I don't think that's what a meme is. adc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 That answer was in a nutshell, but that was quite mean for a new member. I haven't reached the era where Spiderweb memes are trending, the only meme you've probably heard of is the fluffy turtles right? They're in your head right now chewing out your mind. Or maybe the nine-headed cave cow thing. I dunno, but a meme is something quite original like rage faces, that comic strip, Doge etc. what you created is something more of a comic strip, and less of a meme. Meme comics I think. ----- -Nightwatcher Valdain the King 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The "Boardroom Suggestion" comic is indeed an internet meme. http://knowyourmeme....room-suggestion That said, I don't think Jeff is clueless about what a majority of his customers want, and the sales of his recent titles speak to that. Granted, we can all argue about things we like or dislike (I agree on the level cap in Avadon, btw), but this is a matter of opinion, not a matter of obvious business blunders or oversights, which is what the meme is going after. EDIT: One more nitpick. A meme is a broader idea that passes between cultures. The comic that was posted itself is not, strictly a meme. EDIT: See Slarty's comment below. Just beat me to it, and it's a better explanation. Ircher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 A single instance of a meme is not the same thing as a meme. Unlike, say, chairs, we use "meme" only as a name for the class of things and not for the things themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 One can create the original idea for a meme, but cannot make it a meme by themselves. An idea becomes a meme when enough people within a community or culture spread it to the point where it continues to spread by its own inertia. In this case the meme is the boardroom suggestion comic template, and the meme is being spread into this community by an instance of it. If people here like it, they may use the same template to make new instances, perhaps spreading it to other corners of the web.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Memes are often generated from each other by simple replication, but the process can be dangerous. Sometimes one iteration is an improvement but the next is too much. For example: Me: Meme: Mememe: BMA, nikki., Triumph and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk WLDD Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Guys I don't care if that is not meme, I made that for fun, not to get critics if that is meme or it is not, in my country meme doesn't even exist no translation for that word so call it how ever you want, funny picture if want...

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 We're not putting your work down, Dartzdolls! And I'm sorry if it seemed like we were.

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Yeah sorry, Dartz, I should have known that would start a nitpick spiral and derail your thread*. A lot of native English speakers wouldn't have known the difference either. Forgive me? Edited January 1, 2014 by Jerakeen *Actually I did know it, but at that moment, I kind of didn't care. And now I feel bad about it. :( WLDD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulate Vlish peteralexanderjex Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) why is everyone such a god damn genius. Everywhere you go from the [man] on the corner to [a] troll on a forum. genius genius genius. every single one of them. I may be the only non genius in the world. you know what I think spiderweb should do. Make a game that asks it's user what game it would like to play, what features, game play, story and then creates it. . . . . wait someone already made that game. all you need to play it is to be a genius and fortunately every internet troll ive met is a ......genius.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hey, peteralexanderjex, I've edited your post to remove some of your more choice language. In future, can you try to be a bit more family friendly, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
