Apparently the first edition of The Hobbit mentions tomatoes explicitly, but that was changed for later editions.

Thanks Giant!

To freeze in order to ignite; To find myself within, and not fear the edge
To die in order to be reborn to the new world

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
An oxymoron is a term or phrase that contradicts itself either directly or indirectly Freezer Burn (Direct) and Military Intelligence (indirect) are two common ones.
Fyraltari is both spot on and close... a climax comes, so an Anticlimax would be the opposite, ergo going, so a going is to come :)

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
Guys, a crazy and disturbing theory came to me. Suppose Seirini succeeds in force-feeding the Order than amnesia potion, and it ends up working too well and causes the Order to forget all their adventures together and returns them to how they were before they all met?

Silly rabbit, fics are for kids! (^_~)
Just curious, how many times would you guess you've seen people openly disagree with the Giant about What It All Means?
(The actual number of times is probably too high to track, but how many digits would you guess are in the number?)

I'd just like to point out that saying that something unsupported is the case unless someone else can prove that it is not is an utter failure of logic. - Kish

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
Not the reaction I was thinking of. I was expecting people to be upset about the concept that Order's character growth would be undone like that:
Roy would wonder why he's with a bunch of crazy idiots.
Durkon wouldn't remember the mission Thor gave him and once again think he was exiled for no good reason.
Varasuvius would once again become a pompous and arrogant wizard who believes in this superiority of Arcane magic (and be a bit shocked upon being pulled down into a pit by three fiends).
Belkar would once again become a psychotic little monster.
And I don't think I even need to mention Elan and Haley.
Well, something would need to happen in order to forestall the final battle with Xykon. Not to mention the Order would have to get their act together again in order to stop him.
Considering a lot of cliches have already happened, the old "team-doesn't-remember-each-other" concept is one of the few that hasn't been used yet.Last edited by Edward15; 2021-03-27 at 06:11 PM.

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
The Order came closest to defeating Xykon in their first encounter - so setting them back to that might be just the strategy they need.
They can skillfully combat his prowess with their ineptitude - which also was Nale's most successful plan.
This also might with with the knowledge of bards if for instance at present the Order has a one in a thousand shot of taking down Xykon - if they can get that to one in a million it will become a sure thing.

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
I am pretty surprised with Elan, this kind of exposition and unity almost always precedes someone's death due to some shocking incident.
He should try to stop it.Ancient gamer slowly rising from torpor, please forgive my ignorance of these modern times.

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
I think that those who tried and failed to live up to the ideals other Outer Planes go to the Gate Towns of the Outlands. Miko probably went to the one for Celestia, for example.
Mechanus isn't necessarily peaceful, what with those expansionist antlike beings. And it's safe to say that pretty much all authority regards personal freedom as a negative. By and large, there probably is a lot of Stability, but also a dearth of Potential.

Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

Elan is really growing on me and becoming a favourite character.
It's wonderful to see him continuing to learn from his experiences.Last edited by ErisStorm; 2021-03-27 at 08:48 PM.

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
Could be worse... at least you didn't guess down the wrong road and wonder whether Serini's dramatic debut makes her Auntie Climax. (>_<)
I think the Giant said that the Mechanus afterlife is doing paperwork until your consciousness dissolves from the ennui or something? Still better than Baator though, where you LITERALLY get tortured to that point.Last edited by arimareiji; 2021-03-27 at 10:32 PM.

Re: OOTS #1230 - The Discussion Thread
I figure that Lawful Neutral heaven would be like designing and playing incredibly complex but functional games.
Like, you know those board games that take a few hours to set up, and each turn has dozens of interactions? Like that, but more so. And also with elements of Lawful Calvinball, where participants can come up with new rules that might be interesting to work with, agreed to by everyone.
Because, after all, everyone's Lawful Neutral, they're not playing for the good or bad guys to win, or thinking about cheating the other players for their own gain, mastering and coming up with more and better rules is the biggest fun of it all. Better to lose to a perfectly played gambit than to win through a cheat to the pure Lawful Neutral sort.
...
That honestly sounds really fun.
