Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Looks like I accidentally edited rather than replied and deleted the entry I'd proposed for 1016.
So, a new 1016 one. 1016: Dvalin must consult the elders. Time for the vampires to split.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Durkon's banishment has technically been lifted since as far back as #375. I'd prefer something like "1024: Roy learns where to go next; the message from the High Priest of Thor to Durkon finally reaches the Order."
edit: or something about how this is old news that got blocked. My version is rather clumsy.Last edited by unbeliever536; 2016-02-16 at 03:13 PM.
Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
We aren't going for faithful and exhaustive recount here, just a quick and easy to use tool (easy to use = short to read). I believe brevity should trump precision in nearly all cases. Anyway, "Durkon's banishment is lifted" is correct: It just doesn't say when exactly it happened. That's because this information isn't necessary, when all you want to do is find the comic from the summary.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
The cost of two extra syllables to your proposed summary for the payoff of extra clarity for anyone reading the summary? It seems a worthy trade to me.
If someone did happen to catch the summary for 375 over six hundred summaries before, reading "Roy learns where to go next, Durkon's banishment is lifted." could very well trigger a "wait, didn't that already happen?" break in the personal chain of thought, which is going to consume more time than reading a couple short words will.FeytouchedBanana eldritch disciple avatar by...me!

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Significantly better than mine. And in general, I think accuracy is of critical importance in a summary because it is short. The goal is not just to quickly pass information to the reader but to quickly pass correct information. Anything that needs to be justified with technicalities over the meaning of a tense in order to evade the charge of being misleading ought to be avoided.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Yup, we're totally overthinking this, thanks for confirming.
Seriously, though: the summary isn't an educational tool. It just a quick reference list meant to find any strip without combing through the comic page by page. Anyone who begins to draw conclusions, whether wrong or correct, from the summary's language is just using the wrong tool.
... That said, I'm fine with adding two words if that makes you more comfortable.DM in Mummy's Mask I, II, III | Keshkaru and Ozkrak in Extinction Curse | Marzena in Age of Worms | Elrembriel in Wrath of the Righteous | Gurmok in Nightmare in Katapesh | DM in Catacombs of Ravenloft Avatar courtesy of Neoseph7

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I think including that adjective is editorializing, and it would be simpler to use the word "and" instead of "also".
1025: Wrecan gives Roy his copy of Weapons of Legacy and a speech about inevitable and unplannable death.I like semicolons; they make me feel smart.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
For summary purposes, I feel like it might be better to focus on why that speech is so significant to people, as in (hypothetical writeup):
"1025: Wrecan gives Roy his copy of Weapons of Legacy, while paying tribute to his real-life namesake."
