I to commited to that sin, heck I thought Miko was cool up until the time the Hotel blew up, a little over-eager but awsome, then AFTER the hotel blew up I started my hatred.

I am still hoping V goes evil.

I am sure I have others, but I am having a hard time remebering them.

[Snipers_Promise]

I dont own any books and I use wiki to find out spoilers. I have sinned.

[Tmabbbb]

I did not know that Haley loved Elan until the bandit story arc.

[Omicroncubed]

Might be out of topic, but it still is a confession:

When I was reading OOTS at someone elses, I can't remember where, I was reading comics, then I had to go home for a reason I (again) can't remember. I read strip 362. Grand Theft Identity (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0362.html). After I came home, I thought of reading more of OOTS because at that time, I hadn't finished all the strips but I also wondered: ''Now what strip did I end in? I'm pretty sure it was a little bit over 400 or so.''

Well then I thought, ok it was this one, but I ended up with 402. Speaking from the heart (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0402.html). Then I was like, ''where the hell did Nale get that outfit? why's Haley calling Nale a honey, I haven't seen a kiss yet?'' Then I read rest of the strips that were done so far (that was about 441. Getting ahead and staying ahead (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0441.html)).
I thought of making an OOTS game starring Elan in strips 367+387-400 on powerpoint
Then I decided, sience this whole thing with Elan (who I by then halfly thought that was still Nale after seeing Nale himself in Azure City Prison) is really fishy, I was going to read back from 362. It's a good thing I did it though! I mean strip 468 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0468.html) would have then gotten me all ''O_O WTF''

EDIT:
I did not know that Haley loved Elan until the bandit story arc.


You know what? Neither did I. Took me till Haley saying I'm in love with y... ukuleles (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0184.html)

[Elfanatic]

I once played a level 10 warrior named Roy Greenhilt (this particulier game was against heathens who had never read OotS), and got him killed trying to leap over a gap.

[Uzraid]

My L5 dwarf cleric is a direct Durkon ripoff, although his deity is Mahal instead of Thor. Does that count as a confession?

U

[Megalomaniac2]

During the "Battle of Cliffport" arc, I was convinced that Belkar and Pompey were going to team up to kill Vaarsuvius, then strike out on their own.

[Dalenthas]

I'm in love with Haley.

[Jinura]

I think that Sabina ( or was it Sabrina can´t remember and to lazy to check, anyways :sabine: then)
is one smooth sexy b**ch and very hot.

[David Argall]

I don't count it as a confession, but if I run a paladin, it will be Miko.

[Oxymoron]

I feel warm and fuzzy inside each time I kill a player in the sessions I DM.

(I don`t kill them on purpose though, I`m evil but fair).

[Cade Shadow]

I did not know that Haley loved Elan until the bandit story arc.

I didn't get it then. I didn't get it until the inner conflict thing.

[AKA_Bait]

I feel warm and fuzzy inside each time I kill a player in the sessions I DM.

(I don`t kill them on purpose though, I`m evil but fair).

On that note, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside each time I totally bumfugger the DM's planned plotline and leave them scrambling through notes for 40 mins.

[Emperor Ing]

There is a thread in the Arts and Crafts forum called OOTS-style house of horrors. Some1 made female Elan, and I thought she was HOT!!!! :smalleek: (yes i knew it was elan!)

[Cubey]

this thred is here so that you can admit things that now shame you.

I... I'm not sure you want to hear that. Okay. I'll try my best. Just don't be disgusted. Here goes.

I used to... like Haley as a character.

*slumps in embarassment*

[Duke Malagigi]

I've always thought that Captain James T. Kirk would make a much better paladin than Miko, just the way he is. Is that shameful enough?

[evileeyore]

I've always thought that Captain James T. Kirk would make a much better paladin than Miko, just the way he is. Is that shameful enough?No one is better than Kirk, no one.

I still think Miko was one of the best thought out characters in the strips.

[Tolkien_Freak]

I had been hoping that Elan and Haley would hook up since before reading Strip 100.

[Green Bean]

I use random OotS phrases in ordinary conversation with non-readers.

"Your approval fills me with shame"

"It has become unto a tiny refreshing god!"

etc.

[teratorn]

These are stick figures and such but I hate Belkar, really truly hate him. I would gladly give hundreds of $ for a book where I could see Belkar being killed, raised and killed again, in all possible and painful ways possible: boiled, grilled, impaled, cut to pieces, put in acid, whatever.

I know, it's not healthy.

[Shadic]

I think that Sabina ( or was it Sabrina can´t remember and to lazy to check, anyways :sabine: then)
is one smooth sexy b**ch and very hot.

You can't even remember her name? You must have all the girls swooning over your suavity.

[Belkar's Left Foot]

I have made dozens of characters based on OotS people, the only one that worked really well was oddly enough the Belkar-ish one.

[mockingbyrd7]

I use random OotS phrases in ordinary conversation with non-readers.

"Your approval fills me with shame"

"It has become unto a tiny refreshing god!"

etc.

Me too. When friends are doing really stupid stuff, I use, "If I don't look directly at it, it can't kill my brain." Not to mention, "Excuse me, I need to go soak my brain in battery acid." I made up my own version, "Excuse me, where's the nearest brick wall? I need to slam my face against it repeatedly." Also, "Your approval fills me with shame." and "And so begins yet another conversation that will test the limits of my sanity." and "Although, I suppose your presence will negate rational thought within a 20 ft. radius, so go ahead." and "It's like watching my life, but from the outside." The more I think about it, the more I realize how quotable Roy is! Wow, I'd never noticed, really.

Also, I used to think Vaarsuvius was Varsivus. They called him/her V too much for me to pay much attention to the spelling or even pronounciation of the full name.

[mockingbyrd7]

You can't even remember her name? You must have all the girls swooning over your suavity.

ROFL! Sorry to double-post, but that is a crack-up.

Oh, and by the way, another confession: Strip 35 turns me on.

[Gallanoth]

I did not know that Haley loved Elan until the bandit story arc.

I too did not know. You are not alone. Also I really want V to go CE and Belkar to go LG. I HAVE NO SHAME!!

[Platinum_Mongoose]

Miko is my second favorite character, after Elan. (Redcloak is 3rd, Belkar is 4th, Thog is 5th.)

I think that Redcloak is either the true villain of the strip, or will turn on Xykon and redeem his evil ways before the end. Either way would make me happy.

[Spiky]

I can spell 4 and 5 letter words correctly, yet I post here.
Sorry to be an embarrassment.

[Haruki-kun]

My Ragnarok Online Wizard's name is Vaarsuvius. Spelled correctly with no numbers or weird symbols *_+~.

My thief's name is Xykon, same case.

(THEY ARE BOTH JUST SUCH COOL NAMES!!!!!!!!)

[The_Hunting_Enemy]

When Haley landed on Elan during the first Xykon battle I said: 'Those two are totally gonna hook up'

Also, I once used a dwarf with a scottish accent in an MMO, I even made him a cleric.

[evileeyore]

Oh, and by the way, another confession: Strip 35 turns me on.#35 was sweet, but I think #355 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0355.html) was a lot hotter.

When she goes through the window I get all wobbly in the knees. And Roy tossing her piercing down to her is the money shot...

[Setra]

Here's a confession.

I don't like Belkar. Or Thog.

Edit: Oh wait shameful? Nothing on that note.

[Morty]

I consider Thog more annoying than funny *hides*.

[slipper]

You can't even remember her name? You must have all the girls swooning over your suavity.

The word suavity doesn't make you suave.





It makes you HOT

[ChopSticks28]

Up untill episode 20 or so, I was pretty damn sure elan is a girl.

[Thanatos 51-50]

I like Miko. Not in the romantic connotation, ether, just, I thought she was a generrally likeable, if somewhat tragically misguided charecter. Kinda like Odipus, rather, instead of the whole accidently-sleeping-with-his-mother bit, you have a accidently-killing-the-good-guy bit.

Haley is my favorite charecter, close second is Elan, followed by Miko, then Roy.

I don't like Redcloak, Belkar, Nale, or really even Hinjo (if he goes GreyGuard, I may be tempted to revise this statement. A little, since the stick-up-the-rear is a Paladin class feature in the OotS-verse), much.

Shojo was just... eh. Mr. Plot Device, son of Mr. Disposable Charecter, nothing more.

I find none of these shameful.

[Nerd-o-rama]

I dislike Miko more for her inefficient build than for her actions.

Belkar, however, is my hero, no matter how many wasted class features he has.

And like many, I'm in love with Haley. Although Celia can be more physically appealing. Yes, I can find stick figures physically appealing. I have an overactive imagination.

[Morty]

I dislike Miko more for her inefficient build than for her actions.


:smallconfused:

Another confession: I belive that Miko's death is single best thing that happened to this forum.

[happyturtle]

I'd totally try on a gender change belt if I found one. Well, I'd wash the ogre blood off first...

[Kesnit]

I can't stand :roy:. I cheered when he died and hope he stays dead for a long time.

[TETanglebrooke]

i one time went on for like 30 minutes about how dolies will rule the world during my baking class at school.

[Cubey]

I dislike Miko more for her inefficient build than for her actions.


I on the other hand dislike Haley for BOTH her inefficient build and her actions.

[jeffh]

#35 was sweet, but I think #355 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0355.html) was a lot hotter.

When she goes through the window I get all wobbly in the knees. And Roy tossing her piercing down to her is the money shot...

It's not a piercing, it's whatever was holding her hair up previously. The comment is presumably abouyt what Roy saw a couple panels earlier.

[SolkaTruesilver]

I did not wondered wether V was Male or Female until a specific strip where the ambivality was CLEARLY demonstrated for the first time..

Didn't caught the question during the toilet joke.
Didn't caught the question when the Shoeless God of War looked at the lizard's back
Didn't caught it until Sabine and Nale were talking about her(him), and were switching her(his) reference gender...

That hurts..

[Setra]

That hurts..I didn't ntoice the ambiguity til I saw the forums.

I still say V is male.

[Firestar27]

Sometimes I call my cleric Durkon. (and he's a human cleric. Although, he is represented by a dwarf miniature.)

[Nathander]

I am still a Miko fan, and unrepentently so. THe only thing I can think of that would make me dislike her would be if she decided to eat babies or something. Of course, this possibility is more unlikely than usual at the moment, considering her current position.

I shed a tear when Roy died. Despite how much I liked Miko, her death didn't make me cry. Yet, still, I couldn't help but shed a tear when I saw Roy's death.

I used to dislike Belkar horribly, but I think I can stand him by now. One character I doubt I will ever like, however, is Xykon. The only thing that I could like about him is when he'll eventually be destroyed.

[Talyn]

I'm really, really happy that all of Redcloak's family was killed, and only sorry that they somehow missed him. Also, Xykon is only funny when he's the butt of the joke, not the teller.

Oh, and I didn't realize that Celia-the-lawyer was Celia-the-sylph-from-the-dungeon until my second read-through.

[Nasrudith]

I played Miko as a samurai in nethack several times, once accidentally creating her as a male character with the same name.

[Omicroncubed]

I got another confession:
I don't get the title for strip 400, Your Ship Has Come In (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0400.html). Has it got something to do with the strip or is it just... something?

[Emperor Ing]

Dude, thanks for the link, i had forgotten how funny strip #401 was! :smallbiggrin:

[Omicroncubed]

I didn't put it there for the shortcut to another strip, but your welcome.

[Luklan]

I never read the titles to comics

Or rather, I pay no attention to the title :smallamused:

[JoseB]

The "ship" from the title refers to "shipping" (possibly an abbreviation for "worshipping"?) and "shippers". These are fans of a body of literary works that feel strongly about two characters in the story that, in their opinion, should get together. You can have Harry Potter and Hermione Granger "shippers" in Harry Potter fandom, or Lila and Fry "shippers" in Futurama fandom... You get the idea.

Therefore, when in episode #400 Elan and Haley finally got together, the shippers were told that their dreams had come true; their "ship" had come in.

Just my 2 eurocent!

[RyQ_TMC]

Uh... OK.

I identify myself with Elan, up to the point of getting turned on by Haley, playing multiple musical instruments - and none of them well - and recently, playing Insult Sword Fighting in "Monkey Island" over and over again, so I can feel like a Dashing Swordsman.

Also, all (and I mean ALL) of my D&D characters are Chaotic Good. I think Bards are underestimated and have plans (which actually went quite far) of creating a campaign setting where Bards would be the main focus.

I once had a red-haired GF, does that count as having a virtual relationship with Haley?

I'm not blonde, though. Tough luck. Also, my Charisma is lower than 18.

So, I'm not Elan, but I'd like to be and do my best.

(that's how homicidal mania starts, did you know that?)

PS. I also never ran around naked. But I can try, if it will make me any more Elan-ish.

[BardicLasher]

Up until I got Start of Darkness and read through it, I was rooting for Xykon in the comic.

[Fraz-Urb'luu]

I too was one of the Miko fans for quite a long time. However she became boring shortly after the explosion of the hotel.

[SteveMB]

The "ship" from the title refers to "shipping" (possibly an abbreviation for "worshipping"?) and "shippers". These are fans of a body of literary works that feel strongly about two characters in the story that, in their opinion, should get together.

I'm pretty sure it's short for "relationship(ping)".

[Luklan]

I'm pretty sure it's short for "relationship(ping)".

Ayup. Haley/Elan Relationship = Haley/Elan 'Ship.

etc.

[evileeyore]

It's not a piercing, it's whatever was holding her hair up previously. The comment is presumably abouyt what Roy saw a couple panels earlier.http://www.geocities.com/evileeyore/fist.gif Don't ruin my fantasies!

Dammit, know you got me thinkig it was just her hair tie.


I got another confession:
I don't get the title for strip 400, Your Ship Has Come In (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0400.html). Has it got something to do with the strip or is it just... something?"Your ship has come in" is a colloqualism meaning your "good fortune has arrived".

It refers back to the good old days of the Dutch East Indies trading company when entire fortunes were made or lost based on oceanic trade.

[Spiky]

http://www.geocities.com/evileeyore/fist.gif Don't ruin my fantasies!

Dammit, now you got me thinkig it was just her hair tie.

It was just her hair tie, which she dropped. Roy hit her with a sword to knock her out a window, he didn't do anything more....um, precise.

[Triggerhappy938]

I find Haley attractive, despite being a stick figure. There has to be something wrong there. Very, very wrong.

[Daine d'Deneith]

Lord Shojo is one of my favorite characters, despite him being an NPC class

[Haruki-kun]

Confession number 1:
I did not know V was deliberately androgynous. At first I thought s/he was a guy, then a girl, then I simply said I didn't know and waited or someone to call V him/her.

How did I find out V was androgynous? That's right. Wikipedia Article

Confession number 2:
I couldn't believe it when Roy died, but when I realized it was for real, I was happy. Sorry, guys, better him than anyone else in the strip.

Confession number 3:
When Miko died, I was sad. Still am.

I know, there's something wrong with me. Don't remind me.

[Caractacus]

I am 37 and yet my summer wardrobe is now almost 100% Oots T-shirts.


No, wait... I'm PROUD of that! :smallcool:

[Lenny]

I once quoted the "I wish I would learn to stop asking questions to whichI will regret learning the answers" - but forgot who said it first.

[Tolkien_Freak]

Confession number 2:
I couldn't believe it when Roy died, but when I realized it was for real, I was happy. Sorry, guys, better him than anyone else in the strip.

Confession number 3:

Same.

Mine:
I hated Miko, but I still had hoped for redemption. She would have made a great character if she could have admitted she was wrong.

[comicadv]

Stabbybelkar here, this thred is here so that you can admit things that now shame you.

I'll start, while she was traking the order and fighting them I thought miko was cool

Hey I still think Miko is cool! I hate howshe killed Shojo, I think that was evil of her. But when it comes down to it Miko is cool.

[Yeril]

Same.

Mine:
I hated Miko, but I still had hoped for redemption. She would have made a great character if she could have admitted she was wrong.

I disagree, Miko wouldn't be Miko if she wasn't a over zealos stick-up-the-ass paladin, and thats why I think Miko is a great character, I was kinda sad when she died but happy that she went out in style, I still hope that she will be back aslong as its in a cool action sequence:cool:



1) I dislike hinjo, he just seems like a plot device to contrast miko.

2) Elan realy isnt that funny most of the time, although the best quote ever is "I GOT A FOUR!"

3) I thought Durokon (yellow wizard guy) and roys fathers teacher wizard was the same person, I was slightly confused at the fact that I saw xykon kill him, only to fight him later on as a lich.

[RyQ_TMC]

2) Elan realy isnt that funny most of the time

Oi!

YERIL! Your bones will taste deliciously lightly seasoned with nutmeg!

[AkodoKoji]

#35 was sweet, but I think #355 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0355.html) was a lot hotter.

When she goes through the window I get all wobbly in the knees. And Roy tossing her piercing down to her is the money shot...

I want Rich to have a scene, probably a Belkar dream sequence, where Sabina and Haley do naughty things together.

Edit: Throw Celia and Julia in there too.
