What about something along the lines of "tard" with an appropriate prefix. Or any other slang that was somewhat created/popularized here or used alot in your responses to trolls (makes it more like you're the actual clonetrooper).

The problem with that is that you'd have to make several versions to cover each of the individual types of trolls that pop up here when "Asshole" covers them all.

Excellent job, Darth Wong. I like "Asshole" or "Motherfucker." I think the best one, though, to get the point across, would simply be: "NOW."

I think that, like the Galvatron one, is a great deal of the charm. It's cold, precise and to the point. He's getting the sharp end of the stick.

I like the picture as it is, and just the phrase "It's time for you to leave." is plenty.

"Bantha Shit" springs to my mind as a good line instead of "asshole."

"Asshole" is much better.

I think just 'Scum' would be most appropriate. Short, simple, and it fits.

Actually, no it doesn't. "It's time for you to leave, scum" doesn't have the right flow, like a melody ending on a bad note.

Count me as thinking "It's time for you to leave" is good enough on its own.

"It's time for you to leave", sans anything else, is best, I think.

In your opinion. In mine it does.

If you must abandon "motherfucker", I suggest replacing it with "bitch". When somebody says, "It's time for you to leave asshole.", there's no justifiable dramatic pause between "leave" and "asshole", hence making it a poor finisher. You've got to imagine somebody saying it: which has more vitriol, "motherfucker/bitch" or "asshole"? The latter only works as an coup de grace when used in conjunction with "Eat shit..." or "You die..."

At any rate, I highly recommend that you have a ban picture with "bitch" on it. Something like so:
You're banned.
[img]something%20with%20the%20words%20"It's%20true,%20bitch!/Welcome%20to%20eternity,%20bitch."%20on%20it[/img]

Personally, I think "Asshole" works well. It's... classier... than "motherfucker" while retaining some of Wong's standard vulgarity.

Post by **Surlethe** » 2006-03-20 03:59am

In all honesty, neither of the pictures seem to work well. I mean, the background pictur is perfect fodder for a ban pic, but the captions just don't mesh. The punctual vulgarity -- both suggestions -- seem so incongruent they almost lose the gravity of the picture's intended purpose.

Silver Jedi · Post by **Silver Jedi** » 2006-03-20 04:51am

I'm going to agree that the last word should be changed to bitch. Motherfucker implies something of a worthy adversary (sp?), and you can take a certan perverse pride in being an asshole (just look at Dennis Leary). OTOH, noone wants to be a bitch. I think it's the most appropriately degrading.

Here's what it looks like without the finishing insult:

Mange · Post by **Mange** » 2006-03-20 11:14am

IMHO, that's more to the point.

Lancer · Post by **Lancer** » 2006-03-20 11:24am

The way the pic is currently composed, it just doesn't seem complete without a finishing insult.

Toss in "Bitch" to wrap it up or move the "It's time for you to leave" to the bottom of the picture. Either way, it'll look much better.

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » 2006-03-20 01:47pm

I think it looks just fine without the insult. Clonetroopers are cold, methodical soldiers, an insult seems out of place for them.

Shadow WarChief · Post by **Shadow WarChief** » 2006-03-20 01:47pm

I think if we're dead set on keeping the Motherfucker/asshole portion of the pic, it should be put first

"Hey Motherfucker!, it's time for you to leave"
"Hey asshole!, it's time for you to leave,

Ryushikaze · Post by **Ryushikaze** » 2006-03-20 01:51pm

Might I suggest changing the text to "I think" where the current text is, and below the rifle, putting "that it's time for you to leave." Or perhaps the existing text, but below the barrel, add "I mean Now."

Has the same one, two punch as the original "It's time/MoFo", but is still utterly dispassionate, as befitting the image.

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2006-03-20 01:53pm

I think it's best with just the "It's time for you to leave." Yeah it's missing the SD.net style swearing, but frankly anything after that seems tacked on and odd. Between motherfucker and asshole asshole works better.

Lord Revan · Post by **Lord Revan** » 2006-03-20 02:09pm

of course you could the thing the clone said in the movie (as in "'sir', it's time for you to leave" or "it's time for you to leave, 'sir'").

Arrow · Post by **Arrow** » 2006-03-20 02:18pm

"Its time for you to leave" doesn't work with that picture. "Get out, asshole" or "Get out, fucker" would be better . Something brief would be better.

Post by **Simplicius** » 2006-03-20 02:56pm

(Version 3)

The text concentrated in the upper left like that throws the visual balance of the pictuer off-kilter, I think.
