Is it Sept 17 Yet?

[DMcCoy1693]

Just thought I'd ask? Why is it taking so long to get here?

[Kaelaroth]

Because Tharidzun is playing around with Istus again, and she forgot to turn the clocks around....

[Omicroncubed]

Relax, it'll be here soon. In the meantime, play some games, have some fun, enjoy life!

I mean, Friday, Saturday and Sunday left! That's not even MUCH!!!

To tell the truth, I had almost forgotten about the OOTS in this time. :smalleek:

[FireDrake]

Just Imagine it this way. For the last two, or so, weeks we've been given a load of silly filler material, that we intantly forget.

Feel better?

No... me neither

[Kaelaroth]

To tell the truth, I had almost forgotten about the OOTS in this time. :smalleek:

What? Witch! Heretic!

*prepares the stake*

[TheTick]

I'd much rather you prepare us some steaks.

[mockingbyrd7]

Perhaps we could cook the steaks on stakes and have steak-stake-kabobs? No? No?

[TRM]

No.
:smallfrown:

[ref]

It's only a weekend. You can now assume Friday's strip (the 14th) will be missed due to some unescapable appointment, and we're back on schedule! :smallbiggrin: :smallcool:

[explanetpluto]

Maybe we could make steaks from the witch?

[wojonatior]

or we can turn the witch into a cow then burn her and have steaks. yay:smallbiggrin:

[David Argall]

My calendar says Thursday the 13th. Have patience.

[someonenonotyou]

four day's away
the horror
THE HORROR:smalleek:

[explanetpluto]

or we can turn the witch into a cow then burn her and have steaks. yay:smallbiggrin:

But.. if we turn the witch into a cow, they'll think we're witches!!

I have only survived the hiatus by buying SoD.

[wojonatior]

but we could set somebody up.

[The Ninja]

But.. if we turn the witch into a cow, they'll think we're witches!!

"She turned me into a newt!"

"I got better......."

[blackspeeker]

And if we ate the cow/witch... wouldnt we be cannibals too... polymorphing is confuzzling...

[warmachine]

Another thread bemoaning the schedule?

In before the lock.

[DMcCoy1693]

I have only survived the hiatus by buying SoD.

I've reread all of the comics, twice.

Ok, how about now? Is it the 17th yet? Its 5 o'clock somewhere. Is it the 17th somewhere?

[ref]

Just wait 12 measly hours, and we're back on schedule!

[DMcCoy1693]

Another thread bemoaning the schedule?

We're not bemoaning the schedule. We're anxiously antisipating Rich's return. Not saying anything bad against him. I just want the space time continuum to bend in one fashion and speed up one thing and one thing only. Besides that one thing, I'd prefer the space time continuum to slow down for everything else. Life goes to quickly.

[Lord_Jadawin]

Assuming there's a comic on September 17th, that is...

:::ducks, runs:::

*runs after him, firing off polar rays*

[SteveMB]

Ok, how about now? Is it the 17th yet?

Don't make me turn this thread around.

[Fawkes]

You could always freeze yourself for three days.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Hey look! It's the 17th! It's coming early!

Oh, wait! CRAP! It's being chased by Chuck Norris!

Ow! That's gotta hurt! Chuck Norris just kicked the 17th in the back of the head while standing in front of it! Ouch!

Wait, the 17th is back up, and now it has a gun! It shoots, but Chuck is too fast! The gun goes flying, and now the 17th is running back the other way!

And there they go! The 17th is leaping from building to building, with Chuck Norris in hot pursuit!

DANGIT!!! The 17th just fell into that alley, and landed in a dumpster! He's not going to make it back to us until he is able to post bail! Chuck Norris wins again!

[The Ninja]

*khan-yell voice* "CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!" :smallfurious:

Anyway, so......


Is it the 17th now?......:smalltongue:


No?.....:smallfrown:


How about now?

[....]

*khan-yell voice* "CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!" :smallfurious:

Yes. :smallbiggrin:



















No, I was lying. It's not. :smallwink:

[JasonDoomsblade]

Guys your gonna have to be patient. The 17th wont come any quicker if you wish for it. And none of you say something stupid like, "it will if I believe or something like that.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

If Chuck Norris wanted it to be the 17th, it WOULD be the 17th!

You better believe it!

[David Argall]

Guys your gonna have to be patient. The 17th wont come any quicker if you wish for it. And none of you say something stupid like, "it will if I believe or something like that.

Oh it will work, It just takes a lot of wishing, at this point, 2 days, 11 hours, & 28 minutes worth.

[Bayar]

Maybe if this was a D&D based world, we would just use a Wish spell...sady it is not.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Maybe if this was a D&D based world, we would just use a Wish spell...sady it is not.

Isn't wish a really high level spell? By the time one of us were high enough, the 17th would have passed...twice.

[Green Bean]

Isn't wish a really high level spell? By the time one of us were high enough, the 17th would have passed...twice.

I wouldn't have to level up that much. I just finished a box of mallomars, and they were especially chewy.

[dakiwiboid]

I wouldn't have to level up that much. I just finished a box of mallomars, and they were especially chewy.

Perhaps another half box would do the trick.

[NerfTW]

Isn't wish a really high level spell? By the time one of us were high enough, the 17th would have passed...twice.

I only takes two months to get to level 18?! SWEET! :smallbiggrin:

[feras]

just two more days :smallredface:

[Arbitrarity]

Surely this is a superiour option for the passing of time. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0155.html)

[Aerysil]

Meanwhile, two days later...

... :smallconfused:

*Ahem*

MEANWHILE, TWO DAYS LATER!

... :smallfurious:

Hmm. Works for Haley.

[Spiryt]

Meanwhile, two days later...

You are obviously not a PC in "Earth" campaign setting.

No, it'll work. It's just going to take a while to take effect. It might take... 24-31 hours, maybe?

[Emperor Ing]

I say...wait 36 hours. Then ask me. :smallsmile:

MONDAY!! C'MON!! I CANT WAIT 36 HOURS!!! MEWANTS OOTS NOW!!!

[JasonDoomsblade]

15.5 hours left! Can I hear a YEAH?

[Surfing HalfOrc]

15.5 hours left! Can I hear a YEAH?

As much as I'd like that to be the countdown clock, don't bet major money on it...

Rich has a tendancy to post just before Midnight (EST) on the update day.

So it could be 15.5+24 hours, which is 39.5 hours from now. :smallfrown:

But rest assured, there will be a new comic awaiting you when you wake up Tuesday morning!

...unless Rich is still not feeling well, and takes another day... week... month...

Um... strike that from the record!

[basilisk 89]

"What's all that blubbering about?"
"Gareth, you're alive? You.... you were dead from OotS malnutrition!"
"Nonsense! I was merely napping."
"But.... we buried you six feet deep! And then I filled the hole in concrete just in case you turned into a zombie or something! How did you get out?"
"You made one fatal mistake! You left me my spoon."
"No!"
"You don't mean..."
"That's right! I ATE my way out. That cement was like a gooey butterscotch filling."

[Caractacus]

Here in Finland the 17th will come LONG before it does to the Americas...

Ahahahahahah!

Naturally, the comic strip will arrive early, too, right? Right?

Oh.

*sag*

[Darkmyst]

Sept. 17th has come at long last... but the day hasn't made it around to your side of the world yet. Don't worry though, we'll pass it on as soon as we're done with it :smallsmile: .

[PhallicWarrior]

How long will that take?

[Moff Chumley]

An estimated 7:30:15-19:30:15 left on the clock...

[dish]

An estimated 7:30:15-19:30:15 left on the clock...

I'm sure the collective wishes of a legion of fans could speed the earth's rotation up by a few hundred nanoseconds. Or so.

[feras]

oh god oh god oh god 3 more hours and its 17!!!!!!!!

[Roderick_BR]

I'm sure the collective wishes of a legion of fans could speed the earth's rotation up by a few hundred nanoseconds. Or so.
Superman could do that too. If he pushed Earth back, why can't he fast-forward it?

[Yagerr]

I hope its not like he doesnt start working on the comic till the 17... then you goto wait till wesnday... it's amazing how great a comic can be with stick figures

[Omicroncubed]

3 more hours in Finland... then it's 17th... then school... then homework... then... HEY!!! WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT ME BEING A WITCH :smallfurious: Where was I? Aww damnit! I forgot :smallannoyed:

[BobTheFerret]

...

The OotS servers are most definitely crashing tomorrow. :smalleek:

It's quite possible, though, that Rich won't post until 11:59PM Sept 17.

[Emperor Ing]

8 hours! I cant wait! No more <insert random OOTS character here>'s gender and/or alignment threads.
(I AM NOT JOKING!!! there was a thread questioning SHOJO'S gender one time! :smallyuk: )

[Vuzzmop]

Can't wait can't wait can't wait!.

I prepared explosive runes thismorning

[Emperor Ing]

:smallconfused: WHY isnt the Arts and Crafts forum flooded with OOTS guest comics?

[basilisk 89]

NO! I can't wait another seven hours and fourteen minutes! NOOOO! http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa122/Gareth_Lorn/help.gif

[silvadel]

Shhhhssss the more people conjecture about 12:01am the more likely it will be 11:59pm.

Really the only argument majorly in favor of 12:01am is the sheer number of hits the server is likely to get up until the comic is posted.

[Glarx]

I think it is quite obvious that the Giant meant the 17th of 2008.

And if you believe this, then you will be pleasantly surprised when I'm wrong!

:smallwink:

[Castamir]

Two... more... hours...
It's already Sep 17 here, but it's generally GMT what counts.
But then, the Giant will probably cheat by using his local time zone...

AAARGH....

[Elfanatic]

AND it is 12:00. Well, at least in Holland.

Where is the comic? :smallfrown:

Got to go to bed, have to work in the morning. Not fair. :smallyuk:

[Spiryt]

Ok, it's September 17 now, from 3 minutes.

Where's my comic!? :smallwink:

Anyway, forum default time is GMT - 5, I think and Giant posts new strips probably according to it to. Am I right?

[Ancalagon]

In case you did not notice: The 17th is NOT the minute between 0:00 and 0:01. It actually has freaking 24 hours! So there is a lot of time for the new comic to show up. If it does today at all.

Remember... only because the last comic shows it will continue, there is no cosmic law that actually forces Rich to post something on the 17th. Or on the 18th. Or... you get it, I hope.

[Spiryt]

Or... you get it, I hope.

No. Can you explain? :smallwink:

[Vhaidara]

Rich seems to be in my timezone, where it is the 16th, 6:23PM to be exact.

[SPoD]

Rich always posts according to his own clock, which is in New York. So yeah, I wouldn't expect anything for at least 6 more hours, and even then, probably not until much later.

[ref]

Plus, it was all this "where's the comic" crap that made the Giant declare that 23:59 was not late.
