This is irony correct?

[denthor]

The vampire that was a member of a religious order that worships rocks got beaten by a stone.:smallbiggrin:

[RatElemental]

The table was also made of wood, which is used to make paper, so rock beat paper if you torture the metaphor enough.

[CriticalFailure]

at least it's not loss

[Peelee]

Depends on what metals were in the rock. It could be irony ore it could be aluminumy. Maybe mithrily.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

You don't know, it could even be Magnesiumy or Manganesey.

[CriticalFailure]

It's probably just silicay.

[Ruck]

I think only if it rains through the hole in the ceiling and it's also his wedding day

[Peelee]

I believe you mean RAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEYAAAAAIIIINNNNNNN. I was all set to make the wedding day joke, too.

[D.One]

And then Elan enters the chamber with an umbrela and starts using bardic song... (because sillyness has no limits)

[NerdyKris]

I think that's more serendipity. Irony is the use of a word or phrase to mean something other than it's intended meaning. From Merriam Webster:


Definition of irony
1a : the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning
b : a usually humorous or sardonic literary style or form characterized by irony
c : an ironic expression or utterance
2a(1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result
(2) : an event or result marked by such incongruity
b : incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play
— called also dramatic irony, tragic irony

3 : a pretense of ignorance and of willingness to learn from another assumed in order to make the other's false conceptions conspicuous by adroit questioning
— called also Socratic irony

Although the second definition does seem like it could fit.

There's a more encompassing meaning involving "universal sarcasm" and iron... :smalltongue:

That rock wasn't really a rock. It cut the table (paper), so it's a scissor. :smallwink:

Does that mean the table was undead and smarter the the Belkster? Does V owe the table an apology?

It's a table (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0285.html), and it's in the world (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0286.html), so yes.

[KorvinStarmast]

:durkon: Treevenge. That made me grin. :smallsmile:

Dark. These silvaciders already eat popcorn and imbibe ale while gathered around the hacked up corpse.

Wow. Think about that. The dwarves consider the trees enemies and make food from seeds (basically the babies of their enemies). Dark, very dark.

[Snails]

You know how to gravely insult a dwarf?

Compliment their family tree.

[hroþila]

at least it's not loss
Everything can be loss if you try hard enough. And that's good.

I am groot! I really laughed at this, and hate myself and this so much for laughing at it that only a groot could accurately describe my feelings. Please no more jokes, I'll just end up laughing at them :-p

[Gift Jeraff]

I'd say it's more vindication that the living Gontor's worship wasn't misplaced, since rocks ended up saving the entire world.

[Rollin]

I'm sure his trapped soul is taking it that way, too.

Rocks Fall, Everyone Lives! (New motto for the Creed of the Stone, once Gontor's resurrected)

[hroþila]

I dunno, it almost looked like the rock was just a dumb inert thing that Durkon and/or Thor used for their purposes, but they still had to do all the work.

Come to think of it, maybe that's what Gontor sees in this. If we get him back, will we see him convert to the Church of Thor?

Five thousand baby plants were boiled alive to make your bowl of rice!

he got beaten by a ROCK though, not iron....

[Gontor to Gontor*, inside his mind]: "We will rock you!"

[Squire Doodad]

[Gontor to Gontor*, inside his mind]: "We will rock you!"

"You know, I'd say that the Creed of Stone had its prayers fulfilled but for some reason I feel obligated to chalk that one up to a coincidence."

[Particle_Man]

Does Gontor have any friends, family or funds left to pay for resurrection if/when Gontor* is destroyed? The Creed of Stone itself has been eliminated unless someone resurrects at least one of them.

[KorvinStarmast]

The Creed of Stone itself has been eliminated unless someone resurrects at least one of them. The Creed of Stone are the Younglings of the OoTS, Book VI.

[Rogar Demonblud]

The Creed hasn't been eliminated. Just those who pulled event duty for the Godsmoot.

Meanwhile, back in Tinkertown, the remaining 5 clerics of the Cree of Stone have a war council...

[Gift Jeraff]

The Creed of the Stone could be a large, worldwide church for all we know. One benefit of worshiping the Inner Planes in the OOTSiverse is that it is easier to convert people from all 3 continents.

Stone for the Stone Stone! Stones for the Stone Stone!

Why doesn't it stay up on top? It's a ceiling! That's it's whole purpose. If it falls down, it's not even really a ceiling! It's just a...a floor!

Things not beeing the way they're supposed to ruins everything.
Foiled by elements of the architecture - again!

Of course, things not being the way they are supposed to be tends to create ruins.
