Everyone's favorite captain, Captain Mystery, is back with his latest SCUMM Bar editorial. The captain is notorious around the Monkey Island sites for whining about fan art, whining about sequel gossip, whining about whiners, and, in his latest installment, whining about Monkey Island fans who hang out in #monkey-island on IRC (on the Gamesnet network, irc.gamesnet.net). Here's a clip:
My unforeseen absence can be put down to the fact I came third in Remi's sub-standard popularity contest poll a few weeks or months ago, with less than 20 per cent of you saying my articles were the best on this site. Naturally, this hammer blow to my ego caused me to sequester myself in a small cave, sobbing into my crumpled code wheel and reminiscing for the days when jokes about losing them were funny. You know what I mean. Yeah, 1992.
All ten of you who read this site and regularly visit #monkey-island are hopefully dreadfully offended dreadfully amused. Now go read the rest of the story.

    There's no way Mort is captain mystery. :P
    And captain mystery is boring yet also a twat.
    Why does everyone think he's someone else anyway? I've never even thought about that. PS: Deadworm, is that you?

    I dunno. He's a lot more resevered this time around. You dont have to worry about being offended every 10 seconds as he doesnt pick on anyone really. Yes, Remi0 is a person, but he backs up his defiance well. I'm just saying hes come a long way from how he used to be. I'd even go so far as to write an article by me "Captain NotMysterious" saying this last one wasnt by him but I stopped caring as I wrote this.

    If only Cpt. Mysterious was capable of that very same feeling of disinterest.

    People consider me an evil bastard, and even I dislike this prick... I agree with many things he has to say (save that rebuttal of my excursion into copyright law) - but boy, is he a dickwad!

    Captain Mystery is about as funny as the Ankh-Morpork sense of humour.

    Mort is Captain Mystery.

    People spreading their painfully dull and immaterial opinions by digital means. What could I possibly do about it? Not pay attention! Thank you, I feel better not having read what any of you have had to say.
