Cast page

[Evil DM Mark3]

Take a look at this.:smallbiggrin: (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootscast.html)

[Fale]

Seriously, was there anyone out there who read the latest comic, that didn't take a look at the cast page immediately after?

I didn't: I stopped reading in the middle of the comic and checked it out immediately.

[Mannryu]

No matter when we checked, I still think it's awesome. :smallbiggrin:

[King of Nowhere]

I knew it would have been there. It was fantastic!

[evileeyore]

Rich is the MAN!

[Bat Bear]

Hopefully the updated cast page will be in Volume 4, as a bonus comic.

[Evil DM Mark3]

Very good meta humour I feel. The fourth wall is going, going, going GONE!

[Rowsen]

It was a nice touch. I enjoyed it immensely.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Especially since the Cast Page had been missing for several weeks after they did some work on the site!

Now here's the real question... If Haley somehow aquires another big diamond, will she pay herself back on the cast page, or keep the diamond and deny herself the I.O.Me? Now that's Meta-thinking/gaming/greed!

[Wraithfighter]

...

That implies that there ever was a fourth wall.

The first strip had them talk about being converted into 3.5, FFS...

[DigoDragon]

Hmm, yeah she should have taken the script while she was at it. :smallsmile:

[kpenguin]

Do you think people new to the comic will be rather confused reading the cast page?

[Mannryu]

If someone will start reading it just now, then yes probably they will be confused. But when they'll get to comic #649, everything will be clear.
Still, that's a long way to go. :smallbiggrin:

So that means that since the books exist in the OOTS world (remember, Hank had a copy of OtOoPCs), Haley can just buy a copy of the second book and get back all the dragon's gold.

Buy? Lol, she can swing between web pages ;) why does she need to buy?

[ref]

Yeah, Rich is da man.

I don't think so, actually, because I was just reading the cast page last night for kicks (yeah, weird, huh?), and Haley's diamond was still there in all it's diamondy glory. The IOM is a very recent addition - and I applaud Rich for his meta humor. OOTS hasn't made me laugh that hard in quite a few strips. (Since, you know, evil V isn't all that funny. ._.)

[Kaytara]

Just to be on the safe side... "I.O. Me" stands for "I owe me", right? Or am I missing something?

[DSCrankshaw]

Buy? Lol, she can swing between web pages ;) why does she need to buy?

Well, the cast page is technically outside the continuity of the comic. I'm not sure her ability to traverse the web makes her able to travel through time--that could cause a paradox.

Anyway, Rich pretty much had to update the cast page when he made the comic. He knew we'd be checking it the moment we read the new comic.

Yes, IOMe means I owe me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!*

*- That's what happened in reality when I read the cast page.

[Silverraptor]

Ya Haley needs to pay herself back. Wait she already did! She paid herself back for the diamond right now from herself.

[The_Firenail]

Wow, that seems like a friggin' paradox...

Like I said in the discussion thread, I actually checked the cast page several weeks ago, but it couldn't show. My theories: caused by lag by this site or my Vista, or the fact that he's changing the image to fit this comic.

[Linkavitch]

Very good meta humour I feel. The fourth wall is going, going, going GONE!

No, I think that this comic's Fourth Wall has just never been there.

[Mannryu]

The 4th wall was there in the beginning but after seeing how Rich is going to treat it, it ran away. Far far away.
Poor thing.

*raises hand in shame*

[Elan man]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahaha...
Whew... nice touch I went to the cast page immediately it was just plain awesome

[Studoku]

Wow, that seems like a friggin' paradox...
It could be wierder. She could have given a diamond to her past self.

This would create a time loop and an infinitely old diamond, which would be rather cool.

[someonenonotyou]

*raises hand in shame*

it ok your no the omly one that was awesome

[Magentawolf]

I couldn't check the cast page until now, because I couldn't find it!

The original cast pages were missing (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106043) for a while, probably from the server move in January to about mid-April when the originals were put back up. I guess Rich got the idea to do something with them when he restored them.
