Time for some Flame Fun!
Why should we have all the fun?!
Since it looks like we'll have a decent number of flames available when we print, I thought I'd reach out to you all for some text upgrade suggestions. I'd like to change some flavor text on a few cards to reference well known celebrity-ish grudges (or grudges that we want to start!) as often on-line surrogates do the feuding. I've got 5 cards that I'm looking for help on. Here is what they are, and what the current text is.
I'm good with total text rewrites as long as the grudge makes it all work.
Post 09 - Petition: I don't care what you say XXX Betamax is way better.
(as an example this could be redone as "From: MaaaaatDmn: I don't care what everyone else says @BAFFLACK, Jersey Grl was your best work."
Other posts I'm looking for suggestions on...
Troll 25, Drunk Post: I did something bad last night to XXX. And there are pictures...
Power 23, Shopped Picks: Nice 6-pack @XXX. Odd, that I thought it was more like a keg last time I saw you...
Troll 2, Versus: You know who would win in that fight XXX? Your mom.
Post 6, Chat Speak: 4COL XXX, that is 511
So, submit any suggestions you have below and if there are some clear winners we'll take 'em! And if we do use them, we will own them (so don't submit if you don't want them used!) but sadly that's just how user generated content works. As the lawyers in the office next to me would say "all submissions are freely given and blah blah blah, you don't get paid blah blah blah." On the upside, you'll clearly be much more popular with your friends and it is highly likely that you'll not be forced to dance in the sun with butter on your head. So there's always that.

Games + Internship Opportunity! See how the fast paced, insane world of a small game company works. Spend 2 weeks working out of the Geek Dynasty offices in glorious Lebanon Pennsylvania! You’ll get to work with us on whatever our current projects are. It could be another Kickstarter game, or maybe a major release based on a TV show, who knows? In addition, you’ll not get paid and have to find a place to live! You’ll also get one flame on a "Make a Post" card, 3 copies of the game, and a line on your resume that will forever confuse future employers. Free international shipping. Don't laugh too hard, someone actually chose this for our MSfG launch, and is in our office as I type this! Hi Josh!

For Troll 2, Versus can we get a Chuck Norris fact? e.g. Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
Creator Mark Biggar on May 24, 2012
I don't know how it would fit into your game structure but there is a well known pseudo-rule for INTERNET discussions that mentioning Hitler kills any INTERNET discussion dead in it's tracks.
Creator Simon Guy on May 24, 2012
I hope that you have the "this looks shopped, I can tell from some of the pixels", etc quote used already. If not, use it for the "Power 23, Shopped Picks" card.

I don't care what you say, XXX, my uncle works at Senintari, so I know better than you!

I don't care what you said. If George Takei didn't post it, it didn't happen.
