Three Square Meals - Chapter 156

Tefler Fan 007

NASA is trying to get the designs for Trankaran engines. They will probably work better than the Artemis 1 engines.

Tefler Fan 007

NASA needs Dana to fix their fuel leak problems.

He was called in as a leading consultant to help with launching Artemis 1, and naturally that takes priority over some stupid novel or gullible fans/supporters. :-D

Anthony Kester

I'm personally putting my money on "Aliens" as the reason he's running a bit behind.

Tefler Fan 007

First the Queen and then a hurricane. A lot of plausible explanations this month.🤔

andrew finlayson

You guys do realise of course that 156 is gonna be just a couple of weeks late because Tefler was impacted by the Florida hurricane. I don't know how he was impacted.... just that he was. I'm just getting that excuse out there first.

Well if you leave now you don't get 2 Chapters you already payed for... Scummy tactics

Tefler Fan 007

Someone edited tread🤔

.701: Dear Rev. I see that you 'feel' Tef's expectations are without merit, yet YOUR own expectations are grounds for complaint. Self-centered much? ;-) TTFN

Rev. Thwack

Pledge tier states we're pledging an amount per chapter that we get early access to, not per promise that a chapter is coming. These placeholder charges are not what's listed, not what we've signed up for, and have become a horrible habit of his. I was fine with it the first few times, as I understand that life happens. Now, it's become routine. Last month having two placeholders, and not even chapter previews to go along with it, was a very disturbing sign. This needs to end, or I'm certain that a lot of us are going to leave.

Newnotsure

Not yet we still have a few days. I really hope Tefler does not charge for a place holder again it will not go down well with a lot of his fans or x fans but I will hope for the best.

Sorry, but 156 and 157 are already a month late!!

Anthony Kester

I don't think the soul forge was limited to only accepting women as a power source. Guess I am getting that desk after all.

Tefler Fan 007

Maybe you need a PBM desk to go with your keyboard? It’s a slippery slope, next you will want PBM furniture, progenitor server for computer, or maybe PBM coated car? That’s a lot of women to sacrifice.😜

Anthony Kester

F5... F5... F5... (Bangs head on desk... Needs new desk)

Tefler Fan 007

TF4EVA

Just in case it is a weight or momentum thing - F5

Tefler Fan 007

Lol

Anthony Kester

I've got a few people I'm willing to sacrifice. 🤣😎😈

Tefler Fan 007

So who are you going to sacrifice for the PBM?

Anthony Kester

I plan on upgrading to a black metal keyboard. 😈

Tefler Fan 007

You need one made out of Invictium, Alyssum, or Crystal Alyssum to hold up to the stress.

Yes, the "get over it argument" always convinces people that your view is the right one. It never makes you look stupid, ever.

Brian

I don't care what you were doing last week in school.

Michael56Smith

.183: Ahhh, TSM infusion reading, ... 28th century Space Warfare with a Psychic Haram, ... Wonderful, ... Hey Tony - F5 F5 F5 F5 F5, hah, the same old keyboard, .... ;-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

.182: I never knew, way back in grade school, how to respond to the: "I know YOU are, but what am I" argument, ... so, I'd just stick out my tongue out at them (Hey Brian, brrrrt!) ;-) TTFN

Brian

Oh you're leaving Mike! I am sooooo sad. :(

Michael56Smith

.180: So long Brian, I hope you take Timothy with you, ... good luck! Farewell, Adios! (I refuse to say, 'good riddance', but I may think it). ;-) TTFN

Newnotsure

Be nice everyone we can wait till it shows up

Robster

Just cancel your subscription now.. that way he cant charge you again SIMPEL

Brian

Only 4 days away from a half done/slapped together chapter, bad excuses why things went bad and another placeholder to "Spread out the payments".

Tefler Fan 007

So 156 and 157 should have some big scenes in them. 156) will answer the Faye questions and also will set up Maels defense turrets to target GK forces. Should be something with Zelig talking to Lynette. I firmly believe Tefler set us up for a twist with seeing Faye in the tank and John probably missed a cloned body for Athena laying off to the side. Giving Athena a body would put both Athena and Alyssa at full Kyth’faren strength like John. Chapter will end with them Jumping in front of the leading edge of thrall ships to deploy spider mines. 157) the battles will begin and maybe we will get a one liner from Calara, “For the Damocles!!!!”, before she unloads quantum flux cannon and Nova lances on the ships to destroy engines. There will be some cat and mouse action with Thrall fleets and Invictus leading them to Kyth’shara. Probably some issues with Lynette and high Command. Some Walker trial scenes. Maybe a few scenes of GK getting pissed off that John is disabling his fleets. Maybe he drains some for failing him. 50/50 chance John Challenges GK at end of chapter. Just my random thoughts 🤔😁😜🍺

Rev. Thwack

Definition of a Patreon differs from creator to creator. Effectively, you supply money, the creator supplies something. In this case, the membership states that we pledge a certain amount per chapter, not that we pledge a certain amount for a promise that a chapter is coming. Yes, the amount is small. No, that doesn't mean the principal is meaningless or ceases to exist. You personally might be ok with Tefler deciding to charge you however many chapters in advance he wants, as often as he decides, but not everyone feels that way. All many of us want is for Tefler to return to charging for chapters he produces, not a promise that a chapter will come.

Green Seadragon

Isn't that the definition of a Patron, giving the artist money so he can create something. It's less than a coffee and a scone, get over it.

Rev. Thwack

Michael, The good standing wasn't lost because he wrote his desires and expectations, but because he has made a habit of pre-charging his supporters for work that he hasn't done & delivered, and for having no communication with us other than at the very end of the month. Pre-charging at the end of the month, saying he'll get caught up early, then finally getting caught up and pre-charging again on the last day of the month... this is what has become the expected routine. This isn't communication, this isn't living up to the expectations you give your supporters, and this isn't a proper way to treat the people who you rely upon.

Newnotsure

Michael56Smith keep that up we mite put you up with Rus in the rumours category

Anthony Kester

Absolutely not true, after I get done with a keyboard, there aren't enough chucks big enough to make a fort out of it.

Michael56Smith

.169: ***Rumor - Completely unsubstantiated*** The kids in Admiral Anthony Kester's neighborhood are building a good-sized fort out of all his discarded keyboards, ... next to build is a tree house, ... ;-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

.168: Yes, I do agree that ole Tef has lost a lot of his good standing with a large number of his fans, by writing some of his desires and expectations, but then not meeting them, ... These are Not set in stone deadlines, and we all know that he has historically only posted at/near the end of the month (to get paid) for over the last year or so, ... but, so far, (knock on wood) he has always come through on making his preview/placeholder chapters good, but as much as he tries, he can't seem to catch up, ... if we end up having to forgive him an advance or two for him to break even, THEN there will Finally be a true basis for complaint. But so far, he has made good on his pledges, and we are getting new chapters each and every month, ... better than a few years back, ...Also, Tef does REALLY NEED to catch up on his free sites, (over 12 chapters behind) -- now that warrants a real Complaint, ... he needs to post a chapter or two a couple of times each month, catch up to only 4 or so chapters off the current Patreon chapter, 6 chapters tops. Well, that's enough yabber-jawing for now, ... ;-) TTFN

andrew finlayson

Figured I owed you that for claiming my earlier comments were biased. I hold no bias .... I happen to enjoy TSM. I'm just sick and tired of Tefler treating this as a hobby. It stopped being a hobby when he gave up his day job to do this. I don't care who he is .... if he had missed as many deadlines as he has over the past two years, and put forward expense claims for work not yet done, he would have been sacked from ANY employment he may have held (unless he was a politician) ;)

Michael56Smith

.163: Ha ha, yeah that was a pretty fair and insulting comeback, not accurate, but pithy, ... good job, ... ;-) TTFN

andrew finlayson

Trust Michael56Smith to excuse absolutely ANY behaviour by Tefler. It must be hard for you to smell the roses with your nose crammed so far up Tef's butt.

Michael56Smith

.161: Methinks that Andrew doth exaggerate, a wee bit, to lend support to a biased and fairly erroneous option, ... oh well, to each their own, ... Pip pip!, Cheerio! ... ;-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

.160: ***UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR*** What if? Her Royal Highness was a Deity level TSM supporter, ... Tef would have another reason to shed a tear or two, ... ;-) TTFN

andrew finlayson

@Tefler Fan 007 So are you saying nobody went to work in the UK since the Queen died? Yes, the Queen died .... and its quite sad ... she had been Queen for all of my life. But I didn't drop tools and say, "Well that's it, nothing more from me for the next three weeks".

So, he doesn’t get paid or is the royalty paying him. That is all he needs is another excuse.

Tefler Fan 007

Due to the Queen’s death the country was in morning. Everything got side tracked.

Tefler Fan 007

Not really

andrew finlayson

"I'll polish them up and edit them, but I should be finished with chapter 156 much faster than usual. " Apparently NOT!

Anthony Kester

TF007, did you actually expect any less out of me?

Tefler Fan 007

Bad Tony, bad Tony……😇

Anthony Kester

Michael56Smith, guilty as charged 😎

Michael56Smith

.151: SICK!!! BAD TONY, BAD! (Cover your ears Daphne) ;-) TTFN

Anthony Kester

What, Daphne isn't going to become a Lioness? Yes, that would mean she would have to fuck her father. But, the twins, Edraele and the twins, and let me think 🤔 o, yeah, the twins have be in an incestuous relationships.

Tefler Fan 007

Daphne is going to get an advanced robot body like Faye and fall in love with Calara’s brother Eduardo. He’s an engineer and would find her interesting.

2ndAndrocentric

the Borg is an example of how a perfectly good idea is ruined by gynocentrism. Initially it was SUPPOSED to be a hive mind, not a female led collective. The Borg went from truly alien to yet another cheap modern trope.

Anthony Kester

It was just a thought from my sick mind.

Tefler Fan 007

Maybe Bio Faye will be able to make cybernetic tentacles to interface with technology. We are the Invictus Node Collective, Resistance is Futile!!!

Tefler Fan 007

Daphne and collective are already depressed and having issues with recurring memories (ch 150) so I don’t think Daphne wants to see her mom and dad having sex.

Tefler Fan 007

Roflmao

Anthony Kester

So, you wouldn't want Faye riding John's baseball bat and Daphne walk in all like, "Who's your new friend John?" and John saying, "Ugh... sweetie... that feels good... this is your... o yeah... mother."

Michael56Smith

.138: And PLEASE Oh GRAND WRITING OVERLORD, let there be a scene where Daphne watches her mother awaken / be reborn. And then John proudly introduces them, ... ;-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

.137: And I DO want Faye to be a computer interactive, shapeshifting, cyber-fairy, with wings, ... organic body for psychic upgrades and broodmare activities, ... So. her own full belly might keep her out for the full 14 hours. ;-) TTFN
