Ok... this is it! I promise... maybe.

Anyways, this is extremely important so please read this before voting.

I would just like to remind all of you voters out there of what this vote truly means. This is more than just picking some name for some bunny that just happened to get fried by some random warlock. No, this is a vote to elect an icon, a hero, an inspiration to all of us. We must take this seriously and think through this in a rational fashion. Remember, we will have to live with this choice for the rest of our lives.

Ok... perhaps that's a slight exaggeration but you get my point.

Let us rationally exam the choices.

Let us start with the one that got the least votes: Fwoom

What does Fwoom offer us? Well, it is symbolic of Richard as it seems to be a sound that he is quite fond of. It is also symbolic of the bunny's heroic sacrifice. But is there anything else Fwoom offers us? I'm afraid not. At least by itself...

Next we will look at the name that came in second to last: Don Alejandro Vásquez Montoya Delflamico Perez

Well, what does Don Alejandro Vásquez Montoya Delflamico Perez have to offer? Not much. Granted it is quite the name and certainly one that all you lucky hombre's who possess it should feel proud to have. But can you honestly say that this is the right name for the bunny? It really doesn't bring anything to the table here. Plus it's a heck of a mouthful to say when referring to the Bunny.

The next name we will analyze came in second: Little "Fwoom" Guy

Little "Fwoom" Guy does a number of things for this comic; perhaps it'd be easier to list them:
What does Little "Fwoom" Guy offer ________________...
1. The Comic
The answer to this one is really quite obvious. Looking For Group. LFG. Little "Fwoom" Guy. LFG. Can you not see the blatant connection? Thus Little "Fwoom" Guy is representative of the comic as a whole.

2. Cale
This one is rather easy as well, seeing as how the name Little Guy derives from what Cale first called the rabbit to begin with. Do the other names take time to acknowledge any of the characters in the comic? I'm afraid not my dear friends.

3. Richard
And not only does Little "Fwoom" Guy represent Cale, but it also symbolizes Richard as well. As stated before in the discussion on Fwoom the sound Fwoom is one that Richard seems to be quite fond of - having caused multiple creatures to turn to ash with that same sound. One might suggest that it is in fact quite representative of Richard's entire philosophy on life - that all creatures were created for his amusement. What better tribute to Richard can we offer?

4. The Authors
By acknowledging the name Cale gave the bunny we also acknowledge the ones that gave Cale and the bunny life. How can we leave Rylar out of this decision? To even suggest that we do not acknowledge those to whom we owe so much is heresy of the highest form. To all of you out there that choose to do so - I hope Richard finds you.

And lastly, the name that was leading: Lord Fluffles the Crispy
...
I think that about sums up this name nicely. What on earth does this name offer to an icon such as the bunny? Nothing!

Sure... it has a certain cutesy appeal to it - but last time I checked Richard was traveling around helping starving orphans and Cale did not go skipping through fields of flowers singing show themes with his pink unicorn, Sooba. This comic is not cutesy! Please people, do not degrade it as such.

What does it offer at all? Is it symbolic of the comic? Let's see... LFtC... nope. In fact, is there anything in this name that acknowledges the comic. Nope.

Perhaps it represents Cale? Come on people, there's a distinct difference between innocent/naive and preppy/effeminate. I highly doubt that Cale has or ever would say Lord Fluffles in his life. That's the kind of thing a cute, 5 year old girl calls her teddy bear. Even Cale isn't that bad...

Or maybe, Richard? After all, it does have The Crispy in the title. Could you be any more insulting? It has become apparent that Richard never does anything half-way. If he's going to burn you - he'll burn you to ash, not till your a little crispy on the outside and pink and tender on the inside. To say he would do any less is simply insulting.

I know, the authors! It represents the authors!
...
Are we talking about the same guys here? The one's that suggested adding on "Or I'll F***ing kill you!" to any request to your boss, coworkers, or any other person you happen to come across? Heh. I think that's enough said.

So does it offer anything at all? Nah... so why would you suggest this name for the bunny?

I would be sincerely disappointed if all the members of this fine forum turn out to be little girls. Don't worry ya'll, I'm sure if you ask nicely enough your mommy will finally get you that unicorn you always wanted. By the way, puppies DIE!

I'm begging you... make the right choice! Do not let such a hero become something as horribly cute as Lord Fluffles. That's all, you can vote now.

unbiased.

Don Alejandro Vásquez Montoya Delflamico Perez is the perfect name for our little bunny because it gives him an air of importance, setting him above all other rabbits in his natural social order. For ages young rabbits will say "Hey, do you remember Don Alejandro, who fell bravely in combat with the powerful Richard?" and the other bunnies will Ooo and Aaa and say, "Yeah, my mom and dad talk about him all the time. He was a hero."

Do not let our hero be defiled with cutsey names. Bring him respect and honor!

Viva La Don Alejandro!

...
*votes Lord Fluffles*
ha! spited!

Even if it loses, and he becomes known as Little "Fwoom" Guy, I'm still going to call him Lord Fluffles the Crispy. And you'll know who I'm talking about, because we've already won. You just don' realise it yet.

When this poll ends, I just know its going to make 2 side's. We'll have Clans. The Little 'Fwoom' Guy 's side and Lord Fluffles the Crispy . I just know it.

And the Lord Fluffles the Crispy side will ritualistically burn it's victims.

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

*runs off to make Lord Fluffles banners*

I forgot to tell you... I'm not left handed..

Neither am I...

Anybody want a peanut?

Well, you made your point, Mr Fwoom dude, but there's something I like about Lord Fluffles the Crispy. For one thing, I'm voting on a name for a small furry thing that was ANNIHILATED. I don't particularly care about all this ssssssssymbolism. Yes you have wonderful reasons behind your favorite name, which is wonderful, but I simply choose to worship our Crispy Lord because I can.

=O. Yet again you amaze me.


Black Mojo, I think I might just propose and make an honest woman out of you.

I know you love me, Soy, but my penis might be a dealbreaker.

Damn. Why does that ALWAYS happen to me?

Please refer to gay marriage thread discussion of "the closet"... hehehe


edit: how appropriate for my 69th post!

=O ah hell nah. I likoo the vagoo.

LONG LIVE LORD FLUFFLES!!!

lord fluffles won....

Come on, we need some more votes to get that 50 percent! How long is this poll running? And don't say "until fwoom guy wins". I say one more day.

haha 11-10....
gawd im an arse...
viva la the little fwoom guy....

Truly, this thread is fraught with strife and indecision. I can see only one way to solve this. Three days from now, everyone who wishes to call the unfortunately deceased rabbit 'Lord Fluffles the Crispy' shall meet in Loas Angeles, driving a large vehicle (you know, like an SUV, Hummer... Mack truck, whatever). Everyone wishing to name the noble rodent 'Little 'Fwoom' Guy', shall likewise meet, only in New York City. They shall gather, of course, in similarly large vehicles. Then, someone in Salt Lake City will fire a gun, and both sides will start driving as fast as they can, straight towards one another. In a week or two, there shall be a huge collision. Last one standing gets to name the rabbit.

Being in Salt Lake already, I nominate myself to fire the gun.

How about until midnight, Friday. It'll be something to look foward to after my job interview.
But I do like the symbolism behind Little "FWOOM" Guy.
Because it's less newb-friendly to people who start reading the comic in a few years. Let them backtrack and make the effort, don't just LET them understand the occult favorite.

Er... that made no sense, I think I'm still a little groggy after my nap.

Isn't fwoom LESS symbolism of the beginning? The guy said it himself, that's the sound effect all of richard's death spells make... seems like lord fluffles the crispy will make less sence to newbies.

Yeah. But it's a sucky name.

And anyway, whenever we're talking around a noob, we can all just be like, "Lol, remember LFG?" "LOLOL, he was cute." And then noob'll be all like, "Dude, wtf?" And we shall chuckle quietly to ourselves, inwardly laughing at his noobness... mwa-ha-ha...

Lord Fluffles the griddled?
Grilled?

That way we can still have the royalty bit, and have LFG

If he was grilled, Richard would've lightly marninated him before setting him aflame.
I imagine he would prefer a light sesame seed and lemon blend, with a hint of raspberry, for an extra bloody appearance.

To day on Richard's Cooking Show, we show you how to properly saute and grill a bunny, how to overcook your meat, and finally, how to use your daggers to remove the teeth of the annoying orc and use them as decoration.

FWOOM!

This whole debate is dragging on a bit too long. How about we all compromise? Like "Lord Fwoom The Fluffy".

Denied!
The Crispy part is what makes it so cool!!

Uh, how about Lord Fluffy the Crispy Guy?

even after last click's completely biased speech about the names i think lord fluffles the crispy still has a figting chance!

LORD FLUFFLES THE CRISPY FTW!!!!!

Go Fluffles! Go Fluffles!

I'm sorry... Little "Fwoom" Guy... is lame.

Lord Fluffles the Crispy is campy, fun and trendy... and I'm sure his ghost will come back and haunt Richard at some point in the future.

maybe he has a son. in which case, we HAVE to name the son ignio

Wow... this debate is really tense. I've really only got one question: why would you vote for Fwoom or... the long spanishy name? Seriously?

-Because I can

"Hello! My name is Inigo Fluffles! You killed my Father! Prepare to Die!

See... that's much better than:

Hello! My name is Inigo Little "Fwoom" Guy! You killed my Father! Prepare to Die!

Just doesn't work.


VOTE FLUFFLES!!

I like Lord Fluffles the Grilled. Like someone else said--same meaning, and also has LFG. On the other hand, it just doesn't have the same ring as "Crispy".

No. No he wouldn't have to say that. In fact, if he attempted that, the actual conversation would probably go something like this:

Bunny: "Hello! My name is-" *FWOOM!*

Cale: "The heck was that?"

Richard: "I dunno. Some rat or something..."

LFG wouldn't be so foolish. HE would get himself a sniper rifle, find a nice spot on top of a tree... take aim, accounting for wind resistance of course, then ease on the trigger... BANG!

Then he'd go FWOOM too, cause Richard's just so cool. But analyzing their respective demises, we must admit that LFG's was much cooler. MUCH cooler.

If not much cooler, at least it isn't lukewarm, like Lord Fluffles, the Crispy. *snobbish scoff*

EXACTLY!

eh, either way, the argument is dragging out! whens it gonna be decided?

probibly never, though that would be waay too soon.

As you wish... and I mean that in the perfectly Princess Buttercup/ Westley kind of way, NOT that I'm preparing to die.

Sorry, your comment just made my night.

lolz it was funny...but fwoom is gonna win!

'Tis tied as of 9:42-ish, Pacific Time

When should the ballot close? Midnight, Saturday? Sometime where we can all stay up late to count down. Like New Year's, only better.

well lord fluffles is winning at 4.56pm Aus time and we lead the world!
I say midnight Friday in whatever timezone Sohmer is in, cos I know how that translates into my time.

I say end it now, its gone on long enough -.-

Yeah, but your never gonna get the "Little Fwoom Guy" crazies to go with that!

Lord Fluffles by a nose!
