I am the evil genius behind Epic Fail!  www.comicofepicfail.com

Behold what happens to my enemies! Bow down and serve me!

See my video; it's EPIC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5e4J8iU3HQ

Help Epic Fail to win the Webcomic Planet War by posting this video everywhere: On your websites, blogs, twitter, social networks and anywhere else you can think of.

Welcome to the board...I think.

You are going to stay past the advertising, right?

Huh?

Am I getting this right? You're somehow going to win the internet by posting a video that depicts the violent destruction of a bunch of webcomics and asking other people to do the same? I'm curious what makes you think that people who make webcomics are going to be big supporters of you hating on other webcomics. Some of those webcomics might be made by members of this community. I'm not sure what you're hoping to accomplish, but I suspect this is one of those things where people do something really juvenile and inappropriate and then think everyone is just being uptight when they don't find it hilarious, like the problem is us.

No, I won't be posting that video anywhere. I regret watching it myself.

The theme of the Webcomic Planet War is 'Evil Genius.'  We're supposed to role-play!  I only included people in the video who joined the competition, so basicallt they're in on it (I.e. no offense meant, none taken).  Sorry but evil geniuses are... well, evil.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well that makes more sense. If they are participating voluntarily and are part of the contest then that's fine.

You might want to consider giving that explanation up front though.  :-\

Welcome to the site. Hollar if you need anything. Hope to see you around.  ;)

It's a good friendly forum, the hate fairy hasn't visited us with her troll army yet, so that's good.

What are the rules for this webcomics war thing? It sounds like a good fun marketing opportunity, is it still open?

Yes I would think you can still join.  You'd be a little later to the 'gathering' phase, however I was late last year and came pretty close to winning so don't let that discorage you.

It's really all about promoting your webcomic and having fun.  I certainly learnt a lot last year about how to bring new readers to my comic, so imo there are no losers.  It encourages you to get out there in the community, and it's a great community!

Here are the rules as they stand so far: http://webcomicplanet.com/news/event/war-2010-evil-genius-rules/

Ahem... *switches to evil voice* I shall enjoy crushing you. Mwaha hahaha haha!
