OOTS death pool (thread #4)

[FlawedParadigm]

Belkar Bitterleaf. Even if it's not soon, it's guaranteed. I'm getting at least one more point in this thread. :p

[Rorrik]

Since Wrecan is a tribute character, I'm pretty sure he'll make it out alive. The Giant can't be that cruel (...right?). Likewise, I think (read:hope) Belkar will live to the end of this book at least. One bet on Durkula, if you please.

I thought about that. But personally, I think it would be a great tribute to have a character named after me die nobly, better than getting some snarky lines in and then departing to an unknown fate.

[Rinazina]

one Belkar for me, thanks

[Pory]

Long time since the last time I voted. I don't think it's his time yet but I'm going to bet on Belkar, just in case.

I don't currently have you as having any points. Is that in error?

[gadren]

One bet on Belkar, please.

[Arin]

Put me down for The World, in two strips. :)

[Elenna]

If the world is destroyed, do we all win?

[Sniffnoy]

Uh, yeah... kind of an unprecedented situation, that... I'm going to say yes, everyone who bet scores a point in that case. (I mean, unless they bet on a god or something.) And you can't bet on "The World" as per rule 11. :P

[Gift Jeraff]

A shame this thread got pushed over here. Only the thread curator got a point during the Crystal Golem scene...I would've gotten a point for Crystal if I remembered this existed back then.

Have you talked to a mod about allowing it back in the OOTS forum? I don't see how it's much more structured than the Trivia threads or the Stick Awards.

[Sniffnoy]

I hadn't asked, honestly! It would certainly be nice to be moved back.

Edit: OK, I've asked about it now, we'll see what they say.

[necrochicken]

One bet on Belkar, please.

Oh well. Truly he was the best of us.

[DeliaP]

I'm going to be wildly optimistic, and change my bet to "High Priest of Hel"

I know the whole "death and destruction" prophecy is currently in HPoH's favour that he'll escape (while Hel not managing to win the vote, of course), but I still reckon it's more likely than my previous bet coming in!

[Elenna]

Bump. What happened to asking if this could be moved back to the OoTS section, by the way?

[Sniffnoy]

I don't know. Mark Hall said he would ask the other mods about it some time ago. Never seems to have happened; I bugged him about it once more after that, I could do so again.

Edit: Sorry, the answer seems to be no. Oh well.

[Sniffnoy]

Bumping the thread since it had fallen off. Unfortunately the thread is apparently stuck here in structured games. But this seems like a pretty good time to place a bet...

[Sniffnoy]

I'm not sure whether Little Whiskers is dead, but regardless he doesn't count because he only has 5 appearances and nobody bet on him.

[Aquillion]

I doubt he is. He's connected to a donor character (presumably part of her description), and it'd be a bit harsh to kill off her tiger like that.

[GM_3826]

I feel like they sort of confirmed in the comic that the vampire didn't suck enough of his blood for him to die.

[Sniffnoy]

Bumping for visibility.

[Disc Lorde]

Can we bet on the tiger? Little Whiskers, I think his name is?

[Sniffnoy]

Sure, I don't see why not. He's got 7 appearances, a name, and seems generally significant enough. RSLee, who originally wrote the rules, may have intended to be more restrictive about them, but I've generally been pretty permissive; I'll allow it. Should I assume you are indeed placing such a bet?

[Disc Lorde]

I was thinking about it, but with that post I was just asking if we could. After some more thinking, put me down for Durkon/Durkula.

[Sniffnoy]

Bumping once again for visibility.

[Moo, I'm Human]

Hm. Dunno why I haven't seen this before...
I bet O-chul, the MITD needs motivation to turn against Team Evil.

[Black Socks]

I bet on O-Chul. I have a hunch that either he or Lien will die, and it would be more dramatic if Mr. Stiffly got killed....

Edit: by which I mean that O-Chul is a symbol of strength and resistance. He's the guy who survived Redcloak's torture, fought through Xykon's gladiatorial matches, busted out of prison, and took out Redcloak's eye with a metal pole! If he got killed it would be tragic, but also give the characters a new reason to fight.
Plus, he's the MitD's best friend. If he got killed, it would give the MitD a reason to turn against Team Evil. I can see it now...
O-Chul falling to the floor
MitD yelling "MR. STIFFLY!!!"
A flashback to them playing Go together
The MitD roars and throws off his umbrella
And attacks!

[anjxed]

I bet on Lien then

[Moo, I'm Human]

But just as he throws it off, one of two things happen:
1. He yells "*Insert whoever killed O-Chul here*! I will eat your broken corpse lightly seasoned with nutmeg!
or 2. Elan remins him to do something like that just before.

Then after, Elan cries at the amazing reveal.

[Gift Jeraff]

Changing to Lien

Lame. It's not like the OOTS section is too fast/crowded to handle another recurring thread.

[Sniffnoy]

Yeah, I tried also suggesting that other similar game-like recurring threads (awards, trivia, etc) should be moved down here with us, but that seems to have gone nowhere...
