Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally

[Lord Torath]

Question time! Find me a lovely thing that plants do.

Administer a beating. In Belkar's opinion, anyway.

What tastes like crabapple cobbler?

[Metastachydium]

Administer a beating. In Belkar's opinion, anyway.

Go plants!

What tastes like crabapple cobbler?

A certain spell. [Starts wondering why Sigdi tried to poison Durkon.]

[Peelee]

Go plants!



A certain spell. [Starts wondering why Sigdi tried to poison Durkon.]

It's easy to do, if your cooking skills aren't up to snuff.

[Book Wombat]

Find me a strip where it seems that Belkar was sleeping in Vaarsivius's room.

[b_jonas]

For the new thread title, I propose these three again, because of a certain common trivia question about #314.

• Order of the Stick trivia 21: world record
• Order of the Stick trivia 21: find me a record
• Order of the Stick trivia 21: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

You can tell by the explosion mark on the wall.

It's been asked 24 times. Should we wait for the 24th thread? It's not really that far off...

And On-topic, Life is senseless. What else is? You know, according to someone in the strip.

[Moogle Man]

Death, according to greyview, as seen in 1221.
OQ
Also, some titles on the fly:
Order of the Stick trivia 21: Pack some extra bowstrings
Order of the stick trivia 21: We’ve gone Epic
Order of the stick trivia 21: We can lie as much as we want
Order of the stick trivia 21: Order Stickier!
Order of the stick trivia 21: needs more gears, though.

[b_jonas]

It's been asked 24 times.

At least 25 times. I list 25 in the spoiler box in that post, am replying to another such question, and there may have been more since. In any case, if it's asked more than once per thread, we might never catch up with it.

[Peelee]

Find me someone setting a new world record.

[Caerulea]

With arduous search and effort, I have managed to locate Elan, breaking the world record for amount of times somebody has said "blah" in a row.

OQ

[Yanisa]

Find me another time somebody tried for the world record of saying blah.

[Caerulea]

Voting on new thread title season has finally arrived!

(Twenty-One:) This Quiz Isn't Fixed	Ron Miel Metastachydium

We should probably have a separate vote on which style, Roman Numerals or Arabic Numerals, we prefer.

Style	Supporters
Roman Numerals (XXI)	Caerulea Peelee Yanisa Metastachydium
Arabic Numerals (21)	b_jonas
Eastern Arabic Numerals (٢١)	b_jonas Metastachydium
Base 8 (25)	Metastachydium

[b_jonas]

Yanisa: probably one of these. OQ if that's enough of an answer.

Find three different situations in which the word blah is used repeatedly.

One, Two and Three!

And I vote on arabic numerals. I vote on arabic numerals over roman numerals for every use of numerals, including forum thread serial numbers in the thread title, numbered districts of Budapest, month numbers, year numbers, serial numbers for volumes of a book, everything.

[Peelee]

Roman.

And I vote on arabic numerals. I vote on arabic numerals over roman numerals for every use of numerals.

I only do all math above algebra in Roman numerals.

ETA: Ooooh, put me down for Blackjack as well.

[Yanisa]

Voting on new thread title season has finally arrived!

I vote for Find me an Epic Thread!

And Roman Numerals (XXI).

Yanisa: probably one of these. OQ if that's enough of an answer.

Blah...

Can you also find a time the word blah is used at least 3 times in a single word balloon, without the blah's being consecutive. (Bonus points if you can discover if that question is also asked and answered earlier.)

[Metastachydium]

Roman numerals, please.

[Ron Miel]

Roman numerals, please.

Why? Some titles depend on using other forms of numeral. (MitD 007: GoldenEyes )

If someone has an interesting title that uses 21 or Twenty One or 10101 or Vingt-et-un, then I support using it.

My suggestion: Order of the Stick Trivia Twenty-One: This quiz isn't fixed.

(If you don't know the reference see here)

[Metastachydium]

Why? Some titles depend on using other forms of numeral. (MitD 007: GoldenEyes )

1. Roman numerals have this almost lapidary air of authority and grandeur about them;
2. I'm pretty sure I couldn't convince the folks 'round here to switch to Eastern Arabic numbers or base eight.

That being said, I do like your

Yanisa's questions got kind of lost in all the "Let's Choose the Title for the Next Thread Even Though It's Still 4 Pages Away" discussion.

2. I'm pretty sure I couldn't convince the folks 'round here to switch to Eastern Arabic numbers or base eight.

Either of those are an improvement over roman numerals for me.

[Ron Miel]

"Let's Choose the Title for the Next Thread Even Though It's Still 4 Pages Away"

Do you prefer waiting until the very last page? I think it has been left until too late too often, which doesn't give time for discussion.

[Lord Torath]

I personally don't feel it merits discussion. It's the trivia thread, not the name the next thread thread. When we get our 1500 posts in this thread, whoever has the next question or answer to the previous question starts a new thread, and calls it whatever they want.

On topic, I'm thinking it's Belkar mocking an absent Roy "Blah daddy issues blah sword blah not listening anyway" or something like that. But I can't remember when it would have been. It could technically be panel three here (blah...*bleep*...blah...seriously...blah), but I don't think that's the intended answer. Panels one and two could also work.

Yeah, #257 was the answer to previous blah question, I was trying to avoid that one. So let me rephrase. (Rephrased parts in italic.)

Can you also find a time the word blah is used exactly 3 times in a single word balloon, without all the blah's being consecutive/on the same rows. (I.E. 2 blah's are consecutive, but on separate lines within the word balloon. and the third blah is another line. I am unsure about how clear my English is here.)

Also you are getting warm. So for the hint: It's indeed a conversation between Belkar and Roy. But Roy is doing the Blah, and Belkar is learning (about) character growth from two incidental background characters.

The answer was inside the penultimate panel all along..

I think voting is fun! And this way we get to see many creative thread titles.

With Metastachydium's implied OQ:
After what does everyone get bored and move onto something important?

[Caerulea]

This is a bit of a belated hint, but the thing that everyone moves onto is the main plot.

[Yanisa]

After what does everyone get bored and move onto something important?

Random encounters are tedious and a waste of everyone's time.

Find me three demon roaches with a hat.

[Caerulea]

This has three roaches with one hat, but I don't know if you're looking for three roaches all wearing hats.

OQ if it counts, but we should wait on confirmation.
