what's the answer to the old "one of us tells the truth ant the other always lies" situation, when you CANNOT threaten or injure either of them?
(I know it's not OOTS, bit I'm curious if anyone knows the answer)
and Open Question as well

[InuSaga]

Illiander, I have never understood the solution to that. You're supposed to ask one, "If I asked him, would he tell me that this path leads to certain destruction?" Then, if he answers yes, you take the opposite path. If the answerer was the one that always told the truth, then he would tell you that the other guy would say yes that was the path to certain destruction even if it wasn't. But, if he's the one that always lies and he says yes, then . . . I'm not explining this right. It makes absolutely no sense no matter how I try to figure it out.

So, back to the questions. Finish this quote: "Vomit now . . ."

i'm sneaky like that

what does roy need to grow
a sense motive (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0046.html)

[Illiander]

Illiander, I have never understood the solution to that. You're supposed to ask one, "If I asked him, would he tell me that this path leads to certain destruction?" Then, if he answers yes, you take the opposite path. If the answerer was the one that always told the truth, then he would tell you that the other guy would say yes that was the path to certain destruction even if it wasn't. But, if he's the one that always lies and he says yes, then . . . I'm not explining this right. It makes absolutely no sense no matter how I try to figure it out.

ok here's my best explination

you have to assume that they know each other (so that they know that the other one will always tell the truth/lie), and that they take their definition of 'lie' very literally

if you ask the guy who tells the truth, then he will tell you exactly what the other guy will say, which is a lie. If you ask the guy who always lies, then he will lie about what the other guy will say, and since the other guy always tells the truth, he wil just plain lie. So you will always get a lie.


now, it you understood all that, what question do you ask when there are 3 people and you know 2 of them always lie? (I'm not asking the really nasty one where you have one guy who always lies, one guy who always tells the truth, and one guy who sometimes lies, cos I don't understand how that one works)

[Begle1]

Elijah Wood and Vin Deisel i've noticed, never Warwick Davis.

I didn't notice Warwick Davis, but I remember Lou Ferrigno being mentioned somewhere between strips #1 and #390...

[pita]

I'll explain the 3 people, one lies, one truth, and one is an a-hole.
What you do is you ask them "If I asked you if the one most to the right tells truth, what would you say?" The one who tells lies will tell truth, and the one who tells truth tells truth. Now, the one who disaggrees with the other two tells both truth and lies, and not only that, but if they agree that that is not the one who tells truth, you can repeat for the one on the left.
My ideas were to keep asking them random questions about things that are obvious so I eventually luck out.

I SHALL RETURN!! hows 4ish sound for you? :smallbiggrin:

[Sir_Norbert]

I'll explain the 3 people, one lies, one truth, and one is an a-hole.
What you do is you ask them "If I asked you if the one most to the right tells truth, what would you say?" The one who tells lies will tell truth, and the one who tells truth tells truth. Now, the one who disaggrees with the other two tells both truth and lies, and not only that, but if they agree that that is not the one who tells truth, you can repeat for the one on the left.
My ideas were to keep asking them random questions about things that are obvious so I eventually luck out.
I posted this already in the #327 discussion thread, but never mind, I don't mind repeating myself :elan:

Let's state the problem more precisely. Three people, one tells the truth, one lies, one is free to tell the truth or lie as he chooses. You have two questions. Your solution requires six, as you've asked two questions to each of the three.

Solution: first ask A, "Is B more truthful than C?" If A says yes, then either (1) he's the truthteller, so B is neutral, C the liar; (2) he's neutral; or (3) he's the liar, so B is neutral and C is the truthteller. Either way, you know C is not neutral. If A instead says no, by precisely the same reasoning, B is not neutral.

For the second question, ask the one whom you know is not neutral, "If I were to ask you which is the correct road, what would you say?" The truthteller would indicate the correct road and tells you this. The liar would indicate the wrong road, but he lies about which road he would indicate, so he also tells you the correct road.

Answer: ...
Question: What is the highest amount of injuries (# signs, slashes, bruises and otherwise) that have been ever been on one character at one time and in what comic?

Edit: Oh yeah, btw, where was that silence spell thingy? Link?

[Demented]

And the most injuries on a single poor sod goes to:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0201.html Roy, by Miko!
Sabine couldn't cut Roy up that bad.
In fact, a dragon couldn't cut Haley up that bad.
Even V can't do that much scarring, to a Chimera, with Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion.
Miko and Belkar tore into eachother up but good, and they barely beat him out when combined.
Miko versus Redcloak was another nasty one, and if you count the scratches on her foot, they're quite the contenders. Still, it's not a team competition.

(Notice it's the Miko fights that have all the best gore?)

Honorable mention: This would the "trick question" answer.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0335.html
Belkar's killer wasps make quite the number of injuries. Though, I doubt that's in the spirit of the question. :smalltongue:


Question: What character has a golden earring in each ear?

Nope, I meant comic number 201. I guess I didn't specify whether or not I meant battle-wounds (which I did). Just gonna search for the golden earrings.

Btw, you have a very... unusual... signature. Is it just gobbledeegook or is that just one freaky, obscure sentence?

Lavender and purple

Question: How many licks does it take to get to the elvenny center of a Vaarsuvius pop?

[mockingbyrd7]

C'mon, I know you guys know this one (bump)

[Eriol]

Question: How many licks does it take to get to the elvenny center of a Vaarsuvius pop?
"One" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0322.html).


What does Belkar think are cute? (really REALLY obscure, but it's in the comics that are on the web, not a book exclusive)

[Kelsith]

the answer is ONE

my question is what excuse does :roy: give :miko: when getting yelled at for possibly killing a good dragon

[Kelsith]

woops sorry eriol umm im pretty sure just pretty halflings and humans

[Eriol]

my question is what excuse does :roy: give :miko: when getting yelled at for possibly killing a good dragon
Just so that my hard question remains the only one standing, "its scales weren't all shiny" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0207.html) is the answer.

Back to my question. ;)

[Ikkitosen]

What does Belkar think are cute? (really REALLY obscure, but it's in the comics that are on the web, not a book exclusive)

Easy: Lemmings! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0058.html)

Q: How many hobgoblins were eaten by ghouls in the week before Xykon's army departed for Azure City?

[mockingbyrd7]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0300.html
341. (That lemming one was really obscure!)

Question: Where do we see a dire lemming?

Heh heh heh...

[Ikkitosen]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0300.html
341. (That lemming one was really obscure!)

Question: Where do we see a dire lemming?

Sorry, your answer is incorrect. 341 Hobgoblins were killed and 315 animated as ghouls leaving 26 that the ghouls actually ate!

Dire Lemming is seen in one of the Incentive Comics (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/Incentives.html).


Q: how much does Belkar offer as a bounty on Yok-Yok's head?

[Demented]

Hobgoblins eaten? Not enough! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0300.html)

Dire Lemming? In my pants. (http://www.giantitp.com/Images/bcx/MonsterMash005.gif)

Edit: Aw nerts.
Ah well, I'll get this answer in a moment... hold on...

Bounty? Certainly enough for me! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0357.html)


Question:
Haley blushes! Where?

[InuSaga]

That would be right here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0223.html), my friend.

Open Question. I got nothin.

[Holy_Knight]

Besides Elan, who else has taken a prestige class, and what was it?

[Demented]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0390.html
Technically, Elan hasn't taken the prestige class yet. But Julio has.

Repeat Question: What character has a golden earring in each ear?

[Illiander]

not a clue
but since this is too good to let myself forget it
how many eyepatches have we seen so far?

[Eriol]

Besides Elan, who else has taken a prestige class, and what was it?
I think you're talking about The Shadowdancer (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0229.html). He even SAYS it's a prestige class.


Continue with other questions as they have been. I got nothing right now. I was very disappointed with how fast somebody got the Lemming answer. I thought it was more obscure. :smallfrown:

[Demented]

"how many eyepatches have we seen so far?"

Well, I can find one (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html), but that's the obvious one.

[mockingbyrd7]

Answer: ...

Question: What is the least amount of panels we've seen in a comic? (And which issue?)

[Illiander]

"how many eyepatches have we seen so far?"

Well, I can find one (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html), but that's the obvious one.

there's at least one more

and 5 panels is the least I can get http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0274.html

[mockingbyrd7]

"5 panels is the least I can get"

BZZZZT! INCORRECT!

Good guess, but there's a shorter one. (That's probably the second shortest)

[Demented]

My guess is #105 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0105.html). 3 panels, 1 issue, 1 page.

The honorable mention is #274 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0274.html), because one of its pages is a single panel, though its second page bumps the total panels to five.
Edit: Okay, illiander spotted this one, but the one-panel first page is worth something!

"I was very disappointed with how fast somebody got the Lemming answer. I thought it was more obscure."
There was a similar question earlier on which was similarly obscure. As it happens, some people just have photographic memories.
Let's see.... this one. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1667025&postcount=20) Unlike the lemmings comment, it's not even referenced in the main dialogue!

[DrowWolfrider]

when was V first shown cursing? Outside of the Origins of the PC's

[mockingbyrd7]

I'm guessing #200, "Suggestion! DAMNATION!"

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0200.html

Oh, and question. When was Durkon used as a footstool?

[Demented]

"I be a healer, not a foostool!" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0260.html)
You gotta admit, strong and stout as they are, Dwarves do make excellent footstools.


there's at least one more

and 5 panels is the least I can get http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0274.html

#159 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0159.html)
Gotcha!

[Eriol]

My guess is #105 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0105.html). 3 panels, 1 issue, 1 page.
I think that one's only two panels. The thing that LOOKS like a division near Durkon is actually part of the doorframe (the twisted remains of the door that Roy broke down in the previous strip are behind all of them), just as is the vertical line behind Belkar.

So you're almost-certainly correct on shortest # of panels, though the count is 2, not 3.

[mockingbyrd7]

Wow, Eriol, you're right. Hadn't noticed that.

Answer: .................................................. .....................

Question: After their first big encounter in the Dungeon of Dorukan, when did a member of the Order of the Stick next see a member of the Linear Guild in person (in their true form, I'm not counting when they talked to Sabine as the dwarven smithy)?

[mockingbyrd7]

Yoohoo! Any takers?

[Draigo]

well, in person is here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0343.html)


uhhhhhhhh
when is the first time we see Miko attack some one

[pita]

It is when they attack Miko, not the other way around. BELKAR LOVER! TRAITOR TO THE NATION! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0189.html)
Lessee... ummm.... how much does the most expensive sealed scroll booster pack cost?

[pita]

A hint: All of the scroll boosters are in the same strip. I'm not sure if it has the prices... if it doesn't it is my fault and someone else should post a question.

[Illiander]

there's still at least one more eyepatch

[Vargtass]

Well, the booster packs are for spells, not scrolls. And the prices are not listed either. The strip, however, is here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0049.html).

Can you show two goblins with hair in the same strip?

Has anyone quoted this eyepatch? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0137.html) That makes three so far...

[Eriol]

Can you show two goblins with hair in the same strip?
The blonde, and the mother with brown hair. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0093.html) You said same strip, not same PANEL, so this one DEFINITELY counts.



Name a "non-standard" sneak attack that Haley has done (she's done two IIRC, though I could be missing one or more). Extra credit if you name both.

[Illiander]

Head butt http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0100.html

and there's still at least one more eyepatch

so far you have:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0159.html

Who was the first who vomited?

[Illiander]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0170.html
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0169.html

I think they're the same guy, but there's still at least one more to find

[Aurumvorax]

Question: how many strips can you find where one of the OotS has his/her tongue out? :smalltongue:

[Vargtass]

The last eyepatch: here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0392.html)

and by the way, that strip was excellent!

Sorry to disturb the order of things. Back to you, Aurumvorax!

[Jarelk]

Uhm, my question was first...

[Illiander]

nope, there's still at least one more to be found :biggrin:

for reference:
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0392.html

Edit:

And by the way, when I wrote "last" eyepatch, I meant that literally...
ok, I'll admit that it's the latest one

[Vargtass]

Uhm, my question was first...

Sorry Jarelk, you are right.

I go with this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0130.html) one for vomiting, though you might count it as drooling. Last panel, guy sitting. Otherwise ther is always the dragon... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0184.html)

I won't post a question, but I suppose we could go with Aurumvorax's now...

And by the way, when I wrote "last" eyepatch, I meant that literally...

[Illiander]

I belive this is the first time (Elan's response to "no-one denies me!"):
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0061.html

[Draigo]

I'm kinda confused, is that question answered now?



ahhhhhhhhhhhhh well, if it's not then I'll take this question back, if it is, then this is a new question :smallbiggrin:
when was the first time we saw miko attack

[Jarelk]

That question was already answered. But it's the bandit Campment, when she attacked the Evil Sorceress thingey.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0189.html

[Eriol]

Since it's been quite a few hours from a question, I'll put this one up then:

Who besides has whistled with a note in their speech bubble? (I'm assuming that ONLY a note in the speech bubble denotes whistling. There are at least three different people in the strip who have done this, so this is a multi-strip answer.

[Aldebaran]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0334.html
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0356.html
there you go :)

my turn: What book did the Mind Flayer read?

[Wolfie_1066]

Psionics
&
You

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0030.html

lets see...i havent wred this whole thread so i'll just say one :smallannoyed: what other then Wiener dog (sorry for a typo) is a name for the type of dog belker rides when they get horses and ponys?

[mockingbyrd7]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0140.html

It's also called a Riding Dog.

Question: How many times has a girl called Elan "Cutie" over the course of the comic?

[Eriol]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0334.html
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0356.html
there you go :)
Well I was missing one of those, but you're still missing at least two, though I won't get whiny and make people have them. But there's still more to be had!

[Wolfie_1066]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0140.html

It's also called a Riding Dog.

Question: How many times has a girl called Elan "Cutie" over the course of the comic?

no i mean the name for the dog like they call dogs chocolate labridors or things like that...i know that its called but i want you guys to figure it out but you got it WRONG!

[mockingbyrd7]

Uh... dachsund, maybe?

[Wolfie_1066]

thats right :smallwink: sorry for makeing such a big deal i just want the right awnsure

[mockingbyrd7]

Oh.

Question: How many deaths have Nale and Thog caused? (how many counts of murder)

[Tharj TreeSmiter]

Well there was the police chief clearly that was murder
16 total massacres in the city of cliffport, the only massacre shown had three victims so assuming the others had three victims we get 48 murders
Not-Harry Potter, kind of murder
Maybe Elan but since he didn't actually die...
Earth Sigil guardian murder

So that would be 51

[Demented]

Totally wrong.

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0363.html

417 counts of murder in Cliffport alone.
That the CPD found, anyway.

Question:
Find me a joke that was so funny, someone had to wipe away tears of laughter.

[Eriol]

Question:
Find me a joke that was so funny, someone had to wipe away tears of laughter.
"It's just we had no idea you had such great cleavage." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0102.html)

Leaving the question open, though if somebody could find a THIRD whistler as I asked in my question that was never fully answered, not just two (even though there are two MORE), that would be great to.

[The Anti Hero]

Actually, there's some more guys with eye patches that no one's mentioned. This guy, http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0110.html look for the little goblin dude with the eye patch. And one of the tavern adventures http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0357.html and there's also the warden http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0367.html

Now then, I have two questions. What is the first creature we see that has green eyes, and when do we see a character with light blue hair?

[flarewing]

how was hak-tonog the moderately incontent killed and by whom?

[Demented]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0133.html
Belkar, impalement.


Now then, I have two questions. What is the first creature we see that has green eyes, and when do we see a character with light blue hair?

Dracolisk! http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0055.html
NPC with... well, not very light blue hair... http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0238.html
But the next-best I could find was Poseiden, so meerrh!

Question:
THOR'S TAINT! What? When? Where?

[mockingbyrd7]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0308.html THOR'S TAINT, MAN! In talking to Roy in #308 about his sword.

Question: What is the longest comic title there has been?
Bonus points if you find the second and third longest.

[Demented]

Is it cheating to just link to the answer (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html)?

[SolkaTruesilver]

The longest strip name is If a Druid Falls in the City, Does He Make a Noise?

Now, my turn:

What are the names of the, not 2, 3 or 4, but of the FIVE actors mentionned in OotS?

(with a link to each one of them)

[The Anti Hero]

Actually Demented, you were technically right about both of those, but I was referring to the earliest mention of both the green eyed monster and the blue haired kid. And yes, their are earlier comics of both those creatures/comics.

And just because I want to throw another question out there... Who can name all the comics that contain NPC's that have Roy's head?

Hint... There are at least two.

[mockingbyrd7]

The longest strip name is If a Druid Falls in the City, Does He Make a Noise?

Now, my turn:

What are the names of the, not 2, 3 or 4, but of the FIVE actors mentionned in OotS?

(with a link to each one of them)

BZZT! INCORRECT! There are two with titles longer than "If a Druid...Noise?" Check again.

[Demented]

Let's see....

If a Druid Falls in the City, Does He Make a Noise? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0353.html)
Now If Only We Could Organize the Fiends Somehow (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0207.html)
You Should Have Seen What He Did With the Corsage (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0340.html)
The Crayons of Time: Doodles on the Sketch Pad of Eternity (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0273.html)
It's Not a Gaming Session Until Someone Quotes Monty Python (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0136.html)

That works.

[mockingbyrd7]

Wow, we have a winner, bonus points AND the hidden reward: a cookie!

Question: In what strip does Haley say, "Fqgj mx dow gwrrt! Fqgj! FQGJ!" And what is a rough translation of it's meaning?

[Yzorth]

Who said this:

"Certainly! Be back in a jiffy."

[pita]

So, is this a custom now, to completely ignore all posters before you and ask another question?

[Eriol]

Question: In what strip does Haley say, "Fqgj mx dow gwrrt! Fqgj! FQGJ!" And what is a rough translation of it's meaning?
"Back in the cells! Back! BACK!" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0264.html)

I'll leave the other question open (though the comment above is right about people just randomly starting questions, which is bad).

[SolkaTruesilver]

Actually, "If a Druid falls in the forest, does it make a noise?" is 12-words long, making it the longest title name (if you count in WORDS à la "Order of the stick", such as "It's" is only 1 word)

Now, my legit (and diabolical) question: who are the 5 actors mentionned in OotS?

[Demented]

It's been answered in this thread already. Someone would have to go through and find it, and that person won't be me! Stinkin' boring counting questions....

[mockingbyrd7]

Oh, I was counting letters (also, if you put your finger at the end of "The Crayons of Time:......<blah>.....", and scroll up to "If A Druid...Noise" you'll see that Crayons is longer.

[Ikkitosen]

Now, my legit (and diabolical) question: who are the 5 actors mentionned in OotS?

Boring counting question it is, but to keep the thread going I'll start:

Elijah Wood.

[SolkaTruesilver]

We are 1, gentlemens. Keep going :biggrin:

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

Vin Diesel http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0119.html

[SolkaTruesilver]

It's been answered in this thread already. Someone would have to go through and find it, and that person won't be me! Stinkin' boring counting questions....

Indeed, but the question that was answered was:

what are the 4 actors mentionned in OoTS.

I found a fifth...

(HINT: the first fore-mentionned actors are found on page 8 of this thread)

[pita]

Elijah Woods, Patrick Swayze, Vin Deisel, Warwick Davis, and Lou Ferrigno. Don't remember when I saw Davis, but Woods is mentioned when the ninja's leg is cut off I think, Swayze is mentioned by Roy's father ("Who did you expect, Patrick Swayze?"), Deisel is mentioned by Elan when he and Roy jump ("Just like a Vin Deisel movie!"), and Ferrigno is mentioned by Belkar when Roy destroys Xykon ("Who knew all you had to do was break his sword and he'd go Lou Ferrigno.")

[Fenix]

Don't remember when I saw Davis

Warwick Davis : http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0335.html - on The List :)

[ThorFluff]

since i don't actually see a question:
Who posed the following question, and where is he/she from?
"Who uses a twelvesided die, i don't think i've rolled a d12 in all my life"

[Eriol]

Who posed the following question, and where is he/she from?
"Who uses a twelvesided die, i don't think i've rolled a d12 in all my life"
Dave, from Kansas City (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html).

Now for a fairly easy one, but be specific: which two characters have had "problems communicating" with the rest of the party, and in which strips did they LOSE their abilities to communicate easily? (be careful. Not the strips in which everybody REALIZED that they lost their communications abilities. It's different in both cases)

[Khantalas]

V (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0176.html) and Haley (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0245.html).

What was the first SW reference in OotS?

[SolkaTruesilver]

V and Haley

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0176.html
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0245.html

my turn:

Who feels he's playing hopscotch?

[SolkaTruesilver]

damn, ninja'd

I think the first SW reference was http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0179.html

If I am right, my question stands. If not, please correct me

[Aurumvorax]

Who feels he's playing hopscotch? Belkar does, right here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0175.html)

My question: how many portions of ice-cream can Thog eat?

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

I count 10 here, if that's what you mean...http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0252.html
If by some miracle that's right, my question is; What weapon does a mocha latte use?

[Khantalas]

Isn't it soy latter? Bow (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0301.html).

Who regrets nothing as they die?

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

Not the one I was thinking of, but right weapon, in any event.
Mine was http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0350.html.

Your answer is Fruit Pie the Sorcerer.

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

Here:http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0091.html
And my question is: Where is fresh pepper available?

[Demented]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0192.html
Xykon's old tower.

Question: Where is this pepper needed?

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

Wait, do you mean, right there to feed the monster?http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0192.html
Or are you referring to another place where pepper would be needed?

[Demented]

Well, they don't say it's needed there, so there's no evidence that it is. =P
It's just there, just in case.
Pepper doesn't go well with hobgoblin sashimi anyway....

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

Who's informing Milan, and why?
"It's official: Orange is the new green." (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0148.html) And the demon roach is the informer.


From two different strips, please state two different skills explicitly mentioned that are probably not present in people's normal AD&D games (not spells, but abilities you put skill points into).

[Demented]

As much as I want to mention "Craft (Disturbing Image)", it's just too convenient to link to one example:

"Where do earspoons come from?"

[pita]

Eriol still has a question left unanswered.
Gather information when Miko SLAUGHTERED INNOCENTS?... there's no need to wave that sword around... she helped the greater good! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0189.html)
Does gather information count? I've only used it once in my life, when size modifiers to intimidate ruined another skill (Guess which?)
I do not recall another nonexistent skill. Craft Disturbing Image was indeed a feat, not a skill.

Since I don't play any form of tabletop, I was willing to go with whatever is obviously "not in actual games" skills/feats/whatever.

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

...Earspoons?

[PirateMonk]

No idea on the earspoons, but the goblin with the eye patch first appears here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0105.html)

In answer to the Origins question I rejected, since I got it for Christmas (see signature), the answer is Mr. Swordanboard (pg 28). I have also, in my usual selfish manner, decided to loosen the restrictions:

An Origins question must:

1) Be mentioned in a Wikipedia article on OOTS or a character.

2) Be in a flashback
Example: How did Durkon leave his homeland?
(Quote shirts, like What does Durkon think human beer tastes like, are a gray area.)

or

3) Be an optional question, and specifically noted as an Origins question.

I suppose the blindingly obvious (On V's application form, what bit of info was blotted out?) is acceptable too.

I'm sure we can all agree that these are fair rules. If you would like to make an adjustment, go right ahead.
Also, can we move this to another thread? It's getting kind of long...

Here there be bundt cake. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0366.html)

Open question. I can't ask any Origins questions. I apparently lost my copy in the move. I'm going to go be depressed some more.

EDIT: Oops. Take it back. What was the priest of Freyja's name?

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

Wait, so is that Origins, or no?

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

If you mean Freya, then is it 'Brother Hiriam'?

Brother Hiram, #122.
EDIT: Darn it!

No question, so:

What does Roy tell Elan he thinks Shojo is?

or

(origins) What newspaper does the CitD read?

[InuSaga]

Because I can't ask Origins questions, uh . . . crud . . . okay, where was the earliest sign that Haley had the hots for Elan.

[Draigo]

ARGGH! tryed to answer that, but i can't tell which ones are just my point of view....


sorry, just thought i would waste a post to make sure every one knew that

[Mayo_the_Thurmaturge]

Wait, the reason I didn't ask a question was because the name of the temple was different, and if I was wrong, I didn't want anyone to get confused.

Also, the Haley thing is highly subjective. For instance, she could have not chosen Elan here:http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0002.html due to nervousness about being next-to alone with Elan.
