Oots Quiz VIII

[Forbiddenwar]

After 50 pages, the thread needs to be reset, so begins the 8th version of the OOTS Quiz

The rules are plain simple. Someone asks a question that can be answered with (one or more) oots comic strips. (However, try to avoid boring counting questions...) Then people can try to answer it which should always include a link to the strip where you can see the answer. (Please do not write something like "Ah, that's A, you can see it somewhere between OOTS141 and OOTS200. Or maybe it was also a bit later, can't remember right now, but it's definately A.")
If still no one has a clue after after -say- 24 hours (maybe earlier) hints can be given. Whoever first gives the correct answer can ask the next question.

OK, 'nuff said, let's get it started! (: YAY!)



Oh, btw... it would be nice if people edited the link to the correct strip right next to the question once it has been answered. (Not the answer itself, just where you find it.)



1)The first player to answer a question correctly, asks the next one.
2)If that player doesn't have a question immediately in mind, then state Open question and let someone else ask.
3) Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strip. (No bonus material either online or in the books)
4) No Counting questions more than 3 parts. For example: how many times has Roy said "the".
5)If the answer given is not the answer expected, but still technically answers the question, Allow it. You can rephrase and ask the question again later.
6) if an answer is given that in no way is correct, then players can call attention to the fact. At that point, there may be 2 questions occuring at the same time. The 1st question that was incorrectly answered is the valid question. The second question may be answered, but for no prize (aka asking the next question).
7)If your response is ninjad, that is if someone beats you with the correct answer, please edit your post stating, "ninjad please answer above question".
8) After 24 hours without an answer, please provide a hint. After an additional 24 hours pass, please provide the answer and take pride that you have stumped us all.
9) Recognize that this is a game. It is suppose to be quick and fun. If a question seems to go beyond the rules, assume that the asker is not familair with the rules, and point them out. If the asker affirms that the question is allowable within the rules, then continue with the game. If the question turn out to be unallowable, it becomes an open question. Groan and move on.

That seems to be a good expression of how we play the quiz game, judging by observing the posts.


This is the current question:


Find the sound effect "kathang".

[jogiff]

If we know the answer but don't feel like looking it up can we give a hint even if we didn't post the question?

[Forbiddenwar]

Sure, why not. I've seen it done before

[Lvl45DM!]

how do i link? very new at this

[Nimrod's Son]

how do i link? very new at this
Typing in

#678 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0678.html)

creates a link to comic #678 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0678.html).

[Ron Miel]

how do i link? very new at this

1) Get the page you want to link to.

2) highlight the web address, and copy with ctrl-c

3) highlight a word in your post

4) click the "insert link" icon. That's the one that looks like a planet earth with a couple of little rings. Its in the middle of the second row of icons, just under the smiley face.

5) a message box will open, asking for the URL. Paste the page's address with ctrl-v. Hit OK.

[Forbiddenwar]

Could you give us a hint, Teddy? Pretty please?

[Dark Faun]

Well, here's KATANG! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0654.html)... I don't remember any KATHANG! though.

If it was merely a typo and I am right, find me V using a contraction.

[Watcher]

But I didn't CAST anything! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0011.html)

Not sure if your answer is right, so Open Question.

[ChrisFortyTwo]

I've read 50 pages of Quiz VII - and now there's an open question - Yay!

Find a "dunce" hat.

[Dark Faun]

Bonk! Bonk! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0014.html)

Find me someone with a very strong hair gel.

[Watcher]

Hint? (Invisatext)

[Dark Faun]

The hair gel is so strong it makes the hair defy gravity.

[Tala Goodweed]

Does V´s hair in this strip counts?
the cape is following gravity yet the hair doesnt

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0334.html

PS: Just created and acount to reply this!

[Cizak]

So, open Q?

Find something from one of the oots-books in the comic, not counting this one. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0580.html)

[Trobby]

"-And that's how I got from the rainforest to the circus" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0651.html)

Find me a plate of spaghetti, with "sauce".

[petersohn]

I don't think it's the correct answer. I think he was thinking about Dungeon Crawling Fools (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0668.html). If true, answer Introbulus' question.

[ChrisFortyTwo]

Plate of Spagetti with sauce

Isn't that what all "MOBs (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0619.html)" eat?

Find me a character mention a real-world person by name.

[Assassin89]

Patrick Swayze is mention by Eugene (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0290.html).

Aside from Xykon, who would the necrophiliac mystic theurge would want to love?

[Shale]

Among others? The huecuva (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0431.html), which isn't just a skeleton, but an actual undead human.

Find me tweed.

[Cizak]

I don't think it's the correct answer. I think he was thinking about Dungeon Crawling Fools (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0668.html). If true, answer Introbulus' question.

Yup, that was the one :smallsmile:

[Nimrod's Son]

Find me tweed.
Does this count? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0100.html)

If so, find a blood-soaked weapon.

[Shale]

That's exactly what I had in mind.

[Assassin89]

Among others? The huecuva (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0431.html), which isn't just a skeleton, but an actual undead human.

Find me tweed.

This was not what I had in mind.

[Forbiddenwar]

Aside from Xykon, who would the necrophiliac mystic theurge would want to love?

Just to clarify, this question is the current one.

[Tala Goodweed]

havent figured it out yet.
hint?

[Assassin89]

havent figured it out yet.
hint?

It has not been 24 hour yet, meaning that I cannot give a hint.

[Tala Goodweed]

24hs!
this is a really dificult one.
What´s the hint?

[Assassin89]

The hint is that the mentioned character is part of an magazine.

[Forbiddenwar]

The hint is that the mentioned character is part of an magazine.

a magazine in the order of the stick? in one of the online comic strips?
Ah, Dracula
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0389.html
sexiest undead. clever.

Whose flying ability makes them part of the problem? (not Durkon)

[Balmas]

Zz'dtri or however you spell his name.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0053.html

Find a stolen pair of shoes.

[Forbiddenwar]

Zz'dtri or however you spell his name.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0053.html


I don't see it. ZZ'dtri's flying spell was part of the solution to reach the symbol, not part of the problem



Find a stolen pair of shoes.

here are the stolen shoes. 1st panel
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0517.html

Whose flying ability keeps them from being part of the solution? (not Durkon nor ZZ)

[Watcher]

Been past 24 hours. Hint? (Not Zz'dtri/Durkon doesn't count)

[Tala Goodweed]

Whose flying ability makes them part of the problem? (not Durkon)

are you refering to these creatures?
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0312.html

if so. find me a star wars reference

[Watcher]

I can never remember how this goes. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0371.html)

Waiting to see if Forbiddenwar's question was answered.

[Funky Goose]

it looks like it's a open question at the moment, if so
Find me tuna

[Katana_Geldar]

Is it here? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0498.html)

[Fion MacCumhail]

is it ok if it's just mentioned (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0403.html)?

[Katana_Geldar]

Tuna treats then? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0522.html)

I actually thought it was here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0622.html) but that's mackerel.

[Forbiddenwar]

are you refering to these creatures?
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0312.html

if so. find me a star wars reference

I don't see how their flying ability keeps them from being part of a solution. in fact its the oposite (if BBQ sauce is considered a solution)

[Watcher]

You never gave us a hint.

[Puns de León]

Also BBQ sauce-related: Haley's jumping ability keeps her from being part of the solution here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0098.html).

Joking aside, though, there are tons of flying characters that cause problems (Sabine, Tsukiko, Kitty the hawk, Xykon, the ghost paladins). Is the exact text "part of the problem" mentioned?

[Forbiddenwar]

The solution is very specificaly mention. The fact that their flying ability is keeping the character from becoming part of that solution is expressly mentioned.
The solution ingredients include NaCL and H20.

[Puns de León]

I'll take a stab and say V, here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0599.html).

Xykon does a good bit of express mentioning when he kills Roy, but that is over land.

[Tala Goodweed]

Ill say V also.
these birds (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0554.html) are keeping v from becoming part of the solution

[Azukar]

Looks like the thread has got a bit mixed up... What's the current question, or is it open?

[Katana_Geldar]

There's forbidden war's question which we are all stumped by, but I think I got the one about tuna right.

Find me a card game

[Azukar]

There's forbidden war's question which we are all stumped by, but I think I got the one about tuna right.

Find me a card game

Firestorm never could keep his mind on the game... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0359.html)

edit: Here's another one. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0050.html)

Okay, question:

Who can't distinguish between different types of monstrous humanoids, even after... close examination?

[Katana_Geldar]

Vaarsuvius (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0107.html)

Who is Dave?

[Azukar]

Vaarsuvius (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0107.html)


Oh bugger, that was totally not where I was going with my question. I meant monstrous in the sense of something really big... I'm not well up on D&D terminology, but I thought "monstrous humanoid" referred to a specific shape or nature of creature. Anyway.

[Nimrod's Son]

Who is Dave?
He's a displacer beast. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0210.html)

Not sure if that was the current question though. If by some miracle it is, I'll repeat my earlier question: Find a blood-soaked weapon.

[Tala Goodweed]

i believe you were looking for this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0021.html)

Find me a werewolf reference

[Watcher]

Roy turns into a girl when the moon is full. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0236.html)

Find someone with X's for eyes (they're dead), and an open mouth (they're talking). It is not a flashback, hypothetical, or illusion.

[Linkavitch]

This is the dumbest idea... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0538.html)

This one do?

If so, find a Dead ninja wearing something closely akin to what he was slain by.

[Watcher]

It doesn't, in fact. The person is actually dead.

Edit: Oh, and it isn't a gnome.

Edit: It isn't "Guh" or "Urk" or anything like that, either.

[Tala Goodweed]

It doesn't, in fact. The person is actually dead.

Edit: Oh, and it isn't a gnome.

Edit: It isn't "Guh" or "Urk" or anything like that, either.

if the mouth is closed but it has a speech ballon counts?

[Watcher]

No. Invisatext to the rescue!

[Shale]

If it does, then I believe this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0095.html) is what we're looking for.

If not, I dunno.

[Assassin89]

How about fruit pie the sorcerer? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0091.html)

Next question is:


If so, find a Dead ninja wearing something closely akin to what he was slain by.

[Watcher]

Fruit Pie the Sorcerer is correct.

[Tala Goodweed]

i believe this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0509.html) is the ninja you are looking for

Find me the first time que see Hayle´s new hairstyle

[Lvl45DM!]

is it the one who is sick of this emo crap? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0319.html)

Edit: if so find me a rainbow

[Tala Goodweed]

is it the one who is sick of this emo crap? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0319.html)

Edit: if so find me a rainbow

yes it is!

[Katana_Geldar]

She's the Haley who is sick of all this emo crap and wants to get back to comedy (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0319.html)

Who is going to get detention?

[Tala Goodweed]

is the rainbow here? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0664.html)

[DnDgeek13]

She's the Haley who is sick of all this emo crap and wants to get back to comedy (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0319.html)

Who is going to get detention?

I'll see you after the battle in my office. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0438.html)

open question

[Watcher]

Find an effect with the same color as boing! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html) that happens outside of the dungeon.

[Purple_cloack]

Find me Black and white-squares!

EDIT Darn!

[Forbiddenwar]

Sorry for not replying earlier. My computer died.
As for my mysterious question about becoming a saltwater solution:
I was referring to this definition:
"A homogeneous mixture, which may be liquid, gas or solid, formed by dissolving one or more substances" so a person falling in the ocean doesn't make a solution, but a mixture. Sorry about the confusion.
the answer is the imp. V says "Your aerial elusions shall not keep you from joining your master in a low concentrate saltwater solution." But they do.

Rule 9: Groan and move on, and I will.

Reading all the questions that came after, I noticed this one was never answered:


Okay, question:

Who can't distinguish between different types of monstrous humanoids, even after... close examination?

There was this incorrect answer, which was for undead, but not monsterous humaniods.

Vaarsuvius (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0107.html)


Now I'm curious what the actual answer was.

[Shale]

Durkon, who forgot to hate Orcs and goblinoids?

[Assassin89]

I think it is that weasel that was eaten by a troll, or was it an ogre (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0174.html)?

FYI, trolls and ogres are giants, not monstrous humanoids.

Who feels like he is a minor character?

[Herald Alberich]

The Flumph (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0346.html). Poor guy.

Answer this question:


Find an effect with the same color as boing! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html) that happens outside of the dungeon.

[Assassin89]

Well CRASH!! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0123.html) appears to be the same color.

Who complains about their race?

[Crazeemeel]

[Azukar]

I think it is that weasel that was eaten by a troll, or was it an ogre (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0174.html)?

FYI, trolls and ogres are giants, not monstrous humanoids.

Who feels like he is a minor character?

For the record, yes it was the weasel!

And FYI, I don't play D&D, so if I mix up the fine detail differences between monstrous humanoids and giants, :smalltongue:.

[Lvl45DM!]

HINT!!!
and for the record no that wasnt the rainbow i was looking for but it is a rainbow so it stands :)

[Katana_Geldar]

It's a quotes, and no one else could understand this line but the one who said it and the one whom it was said to.

[Watcher]

"It's a quotes" you say? What does this mean?

[Lvl45DM!]

It's not what I was looking for, so I'll ask more precisely next time. But it fits what I said, so the current thread stands.

[rangermania]

It's not what I was looking for, so I'll ask more precisely next time. But it fits what I said, so the current thread stands.

If those count find me a Lewis Caroll reference

You are good at finding green stuff I guess :smallbiggrin: I should have been more spesific but sure your stuff works for me...

[Lvl45DM!]

lol yeah probably alot more specific
to be fair though, i have something intensly specific and unnoticeable for mine but im sure there are multiple Lewis Carrol references
Note: any mention of anything vorpal doesnt count as vorpal has been appropriated by D and D and is therefore a d and d reference NOT a Lewis Carrol reference
and i mean the works of lewis carol not carol himself

[rangermania]

You are the first person that calls it "D and D" for a long time for me. It took me quite time to see what that means :smallbiggrin: "Damn you Acronyms"

[Pyron]

open question?

Find roy using a red quill.

Red quill on a blue boat (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0672.html).

Find me a literate barbarian.

[Cizak]

Check the rules. References are allowed.

Uh, why? They were banned for a very simple reason: It's very unfair to those who doesn't know any reference from that movie/bokk/whatever.

[petersohn]

Technically, Thog is literate, since he is multiclass fighter. Also is Belkar.

If correct, and references are allowed, find a Nethack reference.

[Forbiddenwar]

Uh, why? They were banned for a very simple reason: It's very unfair to those who doesn't know any reference from that movie/bokk/whatever.

This was discussed in the OOTS Quiz VII thread. Enough people said they wanted to remove that reference rule.
Because:

A) Google and wikipedia, Yahoo and numerous other searching and reference tools are at your disposal. Don't know how to use them? Ask a librarian.

B) A question has a max life of 48 hours. The question poster must provide a good hint after 24, then the answer at 48. If you don't know or don't want to know the answer, just wait a bit and let others play. Another question will always appear.

C) The order of the stick is rich with pop culture references. By forbidding those questions, we are only giving the people who have an exacting eye for the art of OotS (like find questions) the majority of the game.

D) This is a game. There is no prize to be won for stumping the playground. Hence the last four words of the rules. "Groan and move on." It is just a game, intended soley for fun. Anything that is preventing us, as a whole group, from having fun, like reference questions, should be removed.

[Forbiddenwar]

Technically, Thog is literate, since he is multiclass fighter. Also is Belkar.

If correct, and references are allowed, find a Nethack reference.

You need to post the strip(s) that prove your answer.
In this case:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0265.html
shows Belkar is literate.
and
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0132.html
shows that Belkar is a barbarian

Also, regarding your question:
References are allowed but non canon or bonus material from the books are not allowed.

3) Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strip. (No bonus material either online or in the books)

Like this:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/GuestStrips.html
3rd guest strip

Sorry if that rule was unclear. Every question must have an answer that is demonstrated by one of the online NUMBERED strips.

If this wasn't the reference you were looking for, sorry for the reminder. It was the first thing to come up with a google search ("order of the stick" and nethack)

So unless there is another Nethack reference, it is open question.

Edit: after more searching, I understand that Familicide (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0639.html) is a reference to a scroll of genocede, a NetHack spell. Don't know if this counts as well since, as references go, it is a strech.

Still open question

[Lvl45DM!]

Find me an example of Elan's extrasensory perception of dramatics

You just need to feel it (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0392.html)

Sorry, not had time to get online recently. But that answer doesn't work for me; I was talking about an actual, physical disability. I grudgingly accepted Blind Pete earlier because I hadn't taken him into account when I phrased the question.
