    After Two Villages I'm placing my bet on Oona. I think things are going to hit the fan pretty soon for Team Evil, though maybe not before they have an inconclusive battle with the Order, and Redcloak feels the most likely to cause it.

    As for Greyview, he either escapes or gets to drop a one-liner that bothers Redcloak more than he'd admit.

    I don't remember if its name was ever revealed, but I'd like to bet on the creature under the umbrella. Just a hunch.

    Alright, I don't know if this 100% would count, but I bet on Banjo.

    ...yeah, I think I'm going to have to disallow that on the grounds that it's not clear how we would judge that.

    Awwww

    Understandable, in that case I'm going to second Monster In The Darkness.
    Edit - Banjo is valid, so this bet does not count.

    [but if Banjo somehow ends up with a clear death scene then I get full bragging rights ]

    You can't disallow Banjo! You already agreed to allow him, based on that he's a character, has enough appearances, and could presumably be destroyed just like the Crystal golem. Also if you disallow him then he'll smite you.

    Oops! Thanks for catching that! Sorry, this whole thing has been somewhat dormant for so long that I've forgotten these things. I'll go correct that, then!

    All good! I didn't even know that such a ruling existed
    Thank you @b_jonas for finding that judgement in the thread!

    Question Re: OOTS death pool (thread #4)

    Wait did Miko get raised and I didn't know? Last I saw she was two half-corpses in the ruins of Azure City.

    Also I'm betting on Banjo.

    Nope, someone just bet on her anyway. It's legal! <shrug>

    Also I'm betting on Banjo.
    Then so shall it be recorded. :)

    My earlier question about stoning and shattering the statue is getting more relevant now that we have Sunny who can turn people to stone. #1243 7th panel has the relevant dialog: “Can't you turn her to stone?” “Mom! She'd shatter into a million pieces if she fell up from here.” “We have glue at home.” “Mom.” This is new information about how stoning works in the Stickiverse, so you can change your preliminary judgement if you wish, though I don't think there's a need. #1259 10th panel confirms that turning Elan to stone again can be dangerous.

    Bumping the thread. We're still interested in this one, it's just that no characters died recently, despite that it seemed like in #1222.

    Also bumping. No confrontation yet. If the Order finally meets Team Evil again, and Bloodfeast or Blackwing get killed, we'll feel ashamed for nobody guessing them.

    Question. If I bet on someone, then an event happens in wich noone of consequence seems to die, and then before the next person dies it is revealed in a flashback that that person died in the event, does my bet count or get disqualified under the flashback rules?

    Also betting on Sunny

    I'm having a little trouble interpreting your question. If there is a specific person who maybe died, and then it's revealed that they did, that's covered under rule 8a (i.e., it counts). However, you're saying if nobody seems to have died, and then that person is revealed to have died...? Who is "that person", if nobody seems to have died? Do you just mean if someone is revealed to have died? I think that would still count under 8a (see example). As long as it's in, like, the rough present of the strip, rather than a distant flashback, seems to me it should still count.

    Let's say I bet on redcloack, which I don't, but whatever. Then we see Xyxon's castle exploding from a distance, and it cuts to another scene immediately. Later, there is a flashback where we see redcloack running through the halls trying to prevent the explosion, but arriving too late. The death happens in an event we saw, but the death is only revealed in a flashback.

    Yeah, I'd count that under 8a.

    Perhaps 8b (and rule 5) should be updated to clarify that they apply only to flashbacks to outside of the comic's timeline.

    Although I guess this does raise the question of what would happen if I eg. bet on Julia Greenhilt, and then we get a flashback showing that she died before the start of the current book. In that case she died during the events of the comic, but we didn't realize it for a long long time. Or if eg. it turns out that one of the cast was killed and replaced with a doppleganger back in Book 1 or something.

    Hm, yeah, that's troublesome. I don't know, I'm not sure I want to go doing things like "is it within the current book or not?"; I'll just add the clarification about flashbacks being outside the comic's timeline.
