[knag]

I don't know looks gray to me. It's the one with the full helmet, back right, not the scull cap.

[Squire Doodad]

The one on the left is brown, the one on the right is grey/black.

[knag]

The one on the left is brown, the one on the right is grey/black.

Yeah the one on the left is Clan Whiterock Male Guard.

[D.One]

Yeah, that one I recognized.

This Council of Elders' Guard always seemed to have a dark brown beard to me.

[Ionathus]

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I was curious: is there a place where other things the characters have done are counted?

Specifically, I was wondering if anyone has a tally for how often each character has broken the 4th wall. Thought it would be interesting to see the numbers

We don't have a count, but I do an annotation which calls out things like that.

We used to have a place where we counted how many times Belkar invented nicknames, but then we got bored counting so it fell past the thread necromancy limit.

#1183: Blackwing, Cedrik, Lee, Nero, Qarr, Shirra, Vaarsuvius

And don't forget the brave sparkly boys doomed to flutter into oblivion...

The magic thread indexes all of the uses of magic in the comic. This is in the process of being cross-indexed with the wiki Categories pages, which also keep track of spell use, e.g. Category:Uses Fireball. Other things like bardic music, sneak attacks, and halfing rage leaping attacks are similarly categorized. Breaking the fourth wall is not currently a category in the wiki, but it could be if you want it to!

Speaking of, I need to revive that thread. Oy.

Is it time to consider a new thread curator? Martianmister said she'd be back to update the thread by the end of August, and it's now well into November.

Her profile says "Last Activity 2019-08-26 12:19 PM ".

I instigated the last attempt to find a new curator. She turned up at the last moment just in time to keep control. So I shall say no more. I hope her research and life is going well.

[knag]

I do think there's got to be some limit after which we're forced to find a new curator. My personal feeling is to give her a little more time. Has anyone DM'd her to ask?

The Mod on the Silver Mountain: Keep in mind part of the Forum Rules on thread necromancy:

Thread Necromancy
Bringing a thread back from "the dead." If a thread hasn't been posted in within the last 45 days, don't reply to it. Start a new topic, if you want to discuss the subject (you are welcome to link to the old thread). If you think it would be better to resurrect an old thread, PM a moderator for that subforum and wait for approval.

That's not to say all such requests will be approved, but it's certainly possible, if you think it would be better than starting a new thread. I even amended my signature a while back to that effect for a specific thread.

As the guy who was going to be the new curator after the last attempt (and who would still be interested in the job if it opened up again), I agree that we don't want to go through that again.

I think we should wait at least until the end of the year before deciding to select a new curator. Given the likely hiatus after Utterly Dwarfed is completed, I don't think that should be an issue.

[ti'esar]

Yeah, given that this book is about to end, I think the thread can get away without having a curator for a while yet.

Speaking of unupdated threads, I'm seeing close to half of the character portraits on page 1 (where appearances are listed) as broken-graphic blotches, while the rest look just fine. Is this just my computer being fussy, or is anyone else seeing this too?

Most of the smilies are being hosted by photo bucket, which currently blurs out images appearing on other sites such as this one, so thats why they're blurred out (imgur has also blocked us I believe but several browsers just ignore this, which is why more than just the 13 forum smilies we have here work).

#1186: Andromeda, Bandana, Belkar, Blackwing, Carol, Durkon, Elan, Haley, Kwesi, Mateo, Minrah, Ozzie, Mr. Scruffy, Roy, Vaarsuvius

#1187: Belkar, Blackwing, Durkon, Elan, Haley, Minrah, Mr. Scruffy, Roy, Vaarsuvius

#1188: Andromeda, Bag of Tricks Rat, Bandana, Belkar, Blackwing, Carol, Durkon, Elan, Felix, Haley, "Hors D'Oeuvres", Minrah, Roy, Vaarsuvius. (Hors D'Oeurves callback from #174!)
edit: I see that Hors D'Oeuvres is now listed as Bag of Tricks Weasel. Not sure when that change was made, but I seem to recall that in earlier incarnations of this thread it was given that name because that's what the ogre who ate it said it was. Interesting also that in 174 it was no longer living in Roy's bag of tricks, but now seems to have reconciled with him. I, for one, look forward to the spinoff comic, "Adventures of Hors D'Oeuvres", which delves into what happened to it in the interim and how it came to rejoin the Order and its Bag of Tricks mates.

[Schroeswald]

What will we call the mysterious voices in 1189? While the second one only has one page the green voice has two pages so qualifies to be included, so, Mysterious Green Voice?
Oh and for 1189;

Demon Roaches, Greyview, Lien (+2), Monster in the Darkness, Mysterious Green Voice (+1), O-Chul (+2), Oona, Redcloak, Vaarsuvius, Xykon

[ByzantiumBhuka]

And Mysterious Orange Voice, if and when it gets more pages. If they have names revealed, they can be changed later.

[Mad Humanist]

Lien named him "Mystery Voice". The orange one does not have a name yet.

[Mad Humanist]

Also in the final panel you can just about make out Kraagor's statue.

[D.One]

Lien named him "Mystery Voice". The orange one does not have a name yet.

Why don't we call the green one "Mystery Voice Boss"?
