Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
In the first post of the thread, where you list the last significant death, I think it would be useful to list which strip the death has happened in, and the date of publication of that strip, so that it's easy for anyone to tell which votes can still be changed. Currently (after #1107) the last significant character death is Crystal (reanimated as a Crystal golem) getting destroyed in #981, which was published near 2015-04-27T08:49Z.
Since I voted later than that (on 2016-12-20), I can't change my vote now, even though now that Hilgya has joined the party to provide punchlines, it is finally possible to off Belkar.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
Ah, I was assuming people would tell by checking post order relative to the post I made announcing it. But I'll go edit in the date as well.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
I would like to place my bet on Vaarsuivius, please. After all, we all know how deals with fiends inevitably end...

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
I think Belkar kills the Vampire Dwarf with Blue Beard and Balding Head in #1119 panel 5. He should die permanently because Belkar used a stake and his eyes changed, and this death counts for this thread because the Wrecan thread says he's got 10 appearances (but I have my reservations, so I've asked them). Do I understand this correctly? Who gets points, and do we get to change our votes now? If we can change, then
I bet that Belkar will die next.
Update: I can confirm the ten appearances:
- #1101 splash panel very back;
- #1102 third panel bottom left corner;
- #1104 ninth panel, half of him is visible on the very left;
- #1105 first panel second from the left, and eleventh panel leftmost;
- #1109 eight panel bottom right corner, just barely visible;
- #1111 second and third panel middle, with dialog;
- #1116 third panel second from left climbing the wall with super spider powers;
- #1117 sixth panel second from right, with speech, then seventh and eighth panel attacking Vaarsuvius, then twelfth panel, slowed down by the chaos hammer;
- #1118 second panel right front;
- #1119 fifth panel, Belkar kills him with a stake.
The fun part is that since he has exactly ten appearances, the tenth being his death, nobody could have cast a valid vote for him. (Unless Sniffnoy rules that the intelligence he delivers in #1111 makes him significant.) But that's what you get if you write lawyerable rules.Last edited by b_jonas; 2018-05-11 at 06:18 AM.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
...huh. Yeah, that's an edge case I hadn't thought of. I should've made the rule to require one more appearance for those purposes. I didn't! I'll change it in the future but this one counts.
Nobody gets points, bets may now be changed!

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
To confirm, if a vampire is killed and resurrected, it counts as a death, right?
If so, I'll vote on the Nameless Vampire from the end of strip 1111.
In the Number of Character Appearances thread, they're listed as CoTS Usher with Sandy Hair and have 12 appearances.
(TBH I'm pretty sure most or all of the spawn in the current battle will die first, but I don't feel like figuring out which is which.)I'm Chaotic Good! Ish!

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
I guess I'll change mine as well... to a different vampire. :) I'm betting on the Vampire Dwarf with Red Ponytail.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
Very left of the second-last panel of 1119, he's got X's in his eyes.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
As my "it seemed like a good idea at the time" prior vote for Tarquin would indicate, I haven't been in this thread in ages, but I figured it can't hurt to get back into it. I'd like to change my bet to the nameless Creed of Stone human vampire ("CotS Usher with Long Hair" in the character appearances thread; also nicknamed 'Ponchula' by some). I think all of the vampires in this hall apart from Durkon* will not survive the fight.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
OK, pretty sure at least one qualifying character died in #1122, give me a moment to figure out exactly who...
It looks like the deaths are: Vampire Dwarf with Red Ponytail, and... some other vampires who don't matter for these purposes because nobody bet on them.
One point for me, and bets may now be changed again!Last edited by Sniffnoy; 2018-05-21 at 02:15 PM.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
So, just to be clear, #1126 does *not* contain any deaths that count. (The one vampire shown to be killed in it has only 8 appearances.)

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
I’ll bet on... let’s say V, as the party member with the fewest HP.
The Greatest Threads Of GiantITP (in my opinion):
A story of the exact wrong way to run a campaign.
The best thread derailment of all time.
The "canonical" list of Mostly Useless Magic Items.
A ridiculous campaign.
Weird dreams.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
Heh heh heh. We're so bad at this game. There's a big fight between the high-level party of the Order of the Stick and the supernaturally tough vampires, plus a low-level character Minrah. Minrah dies in #1128, and nobody foresees it.
I'm not changing my vote though, for now.Last edited by b_jonas; 2018-07-21 at 02:48 AM.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
Yeah, basically as soon as I saw the post about her death I was like "Hang on, she's a low level character in a fight too big for her, she's an easy target to kill off to show that things are serious, and her role as Cleric was taken over by Hilgya so she's not even important for party balance. How did I not see this coming?"
Granted, the last two things turned out to be irrelevant since the whole Order was knocked out at the same time. But they would have been good reasons to vote for her before #1128. I guess my excuse is that I forgot she existed...Last edited by Elenna; 2018-07-22 at 10:28 PM. Reason: typo

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
I still feel like Tarquin is going to be announced to have been killed unceremoniously offscreen, so I'm not changing my vote.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
And I think this time we actually have people who scored points, but I'll wait for Sniffnoy's announcement. Congrats to ti'esar if he manages to climb on top of the leaderboard, and congrats to everyone who got the point.
(Update: to explain, since Sniffnoy only spells it out in the volatile first post, Ponchula died.)Last edited by b_jonas; 2018-07-28 at 06:22 AM.

Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)
Welp guess I shouldn't have bet on Ponchula escaping this room. (I suspect the audience liked her quite a bit more than the Giant anticipated.)
Changing my vote to Greg/Durkula/HPoH for obvious reasons.I'm Chaotic Good! Ish!
