Order of the Stick Trivia XXII: Find Me An Original Question

[Cicciograna]

Ummm... is that a joke involving an orange and/or the color, or an orange rag shoved in/tied around someone's mouth?

The latter.

Which is interesting, because now I immediately thought about an instance of the former.

[Cicciograna]

Hint time: so, the gag is needed for mechanical reasons. But philosophically speaking it is...almost unnecessary

So, the gag in #822 fits your hint. But it is red, not orange, right?

[Cicciograna]

Yeah, that fits the hint but it's not orange. Which is...weird.

I double-checked the hex color code of the one I'm thinking of (e07445), I would say that it is more orange than red (although one specific website defines the color as a shade of red-orange).

[Cicciograna]

Huh. I'm surprised this went unanswered, you were zeroing on the solution.

(…
Checking that comic was one of the first things I did. I have no idea how or why I came to the conclusion that the panel I was remembering isn't actually there.
(Also, is that a voiced palatal plosive there? Neat!))

Find me a goblin species that is not represented on Gobbotopia's flag
(and don't say Norkers or Nilbogs!)

Apparently we ARE using psionics in this world.

OQ

[enq]

I don't know how I'd verify they're not on the flag, but the aquatic goblins in panel three here always stood out to me.

[watersnap]

@cicciograna
That wasn't even the one I was thinking of! Nice job.
@enq
That was the one I was thinking of, though you got beat to the punch.

[Rogan]

Taking the OQ.

Find my V talking like a sith.

Give in to your anger, young Greenhilt

For that matter, find two instances that somebody explicitly says V is, or was, right about something.

[enq]

Maybe this counts? Though I'd say Durkon saying he was wrong is not the same as him explicitly saying V was right.

[Metastachydium]

This should be one.

[Mike Havran]

Indeed. This does not count

This should be one.

This one does, even though I did not have it in mind. I guess V is right even more often than I thought

[petersohn]

Find a burning feather.

[Metastachydium]

Find a burning feather.

Super-advanced flying stealth dinosaurs ROCK! (I like birds.)

That said, we still owe Mike an instance of V being validated.

[enq]

We're in overtime, but panel five. OQ.

[Rogan]

OQ.

You already found V talking like a Sith. Now find me V talking like a modern Scientist.

She responds to a term by adopting the scientific meaning and using other modern terms.

It is a misunderstanding.

Non related question:
Is this a valid/ legal use of a double post?
I used to edit my hints to the post with the question, but that way they are more easily overlooked.

The Mod on the Silver Mountain: not really, no.

In this case, I'm sorry. In the future, I will edit the post again. Thanks for the answer.

[Ron Miel]

Seriously, what does it matter if someone posts twice in a row? How does it disrupt the thread? Who is damaged? What is the point of the rule in the first place?

Fortunately there is a dedicated section of the Forum just for questions like this!

Metamagic Mod: Peelee is correct that the best place to ask these kinds of questions is in Board/Site Issues. However, because we get questions like this frequently, and because I wish more people knew the answer, in brief: one person posing twice in a row in one thread harms no one. A thousand posters posting a thousand times in a row in a thousand threads destroys the forum. Therefore a line must be drawn. Since a line must be drawn, the best place to draw it is at 0. Anywhere else just shifts the problem sideways for no benefit. In the grander scheme of things, the rules need to succinctly manage a large number of users across a large number of individual use cases, of which it takes only a vanishingly small percentage of bad actors to cause widespread problems. Not everyone agrees with every rule but they are neither arbitrary nor capricious. They were each given serious thought by conscientious people and they all exist for good reasons.

NOTE: I know I started it, but please do not continue to discuss the rules in this thread. If anyone has questions or concerns about any rule, like Peelee says, the place to ask is in Board/Site Issues or by PM'ing a Moderator. We're happy to answer questions about them.

A × B = C

OQ

[enq]

Hmm, I don't feel that suits it, other than being a reference to a relatively modern branch of science. This strip feels closer to using scientific language, but I bet there is an even better example.

(If I'm correct the OQ still stands)

This is another good fit, at least for the question. The hints are fitting better to the first answer.

OQ still stands.

Find me a panel with a reference to a villain in the Darkwing Duck series, a pop-star with a song that was really popular about 22 years ago, and possibly a member of the Brady Bunch?

All those things in a single panel? Or one panel for each of those things?
