Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About MitD!

[Lord Torath]

Taking the OQ:

Who do we have reason to believe might be addicted to crackers?

Taking the OQ:

Who do we have reason to believe might be addicted to crackers?

A poor BIRDY (and that's not even the saddest thing in that comic).

[Peelee]

These questions never involve blood sweat and tears. Find me two out of three on the same page. And in fluid form, dont try to pull out a map on me.

Same panel, no maps!

[Peelee]

Same panel, no maps!

Alright, if you're so smart, then who tried to frame Haley for murder?

[Metastachydium]

Alright, if you're so smart, then who tried to frame Haley for murder?

Cousin Sheila! (I didn't realize what this has to do with maps and no maps until I remembered where we find out, so bonus points for that!)

[ZhonLord]

Assuming a Meta OQ, find me a page where the same spell gets successfully cast specifically four times throughout the page.

[Tzardok]

Page 106 of Start of Darkness has five Energy Drains.

Probably doesn't count.

[Lord Torath]

Assuming a Meta OQ, find me a page where the same spell gets cast four times throughout the page.

Does it need to be successfully cast four times? Or is it fine if it fizzles some of those times?

[ZhonLord]

Successfully cast, thanks for asking clarification. Updated my original post.

And sorry Tzardok, 5 is not 4.

[Bilbo Baggins]

Assuming a Meta OQ, find me a page where the same spell gets cast four times throughout the page.

How about: I prepar'd FOUR sendin' spells taday

Perhaps this comic would work as well (I count exactly four Sendings on the first page, not including the first three panels which continue the Sending that was cast at the end of the previous strip), although we don't actually see the spell being cast there.


What item is one character adamant that they aren't, but another character has always dreamed of being?

[b_jonas]

Peelee: wow, that's a nice question.

Bilbo Baggins: footstool, Durkon #260 2nd, Thog #458 6th (it's everything he imagined and more). OQ.

[Peelee]

Peelee: wow, that's a nice question.

Thanks! Lets see if I can't replicate it. What do a kobold, lizardfolk, and hobgoblin have in common? (hint: they're all in the same panel).

[Joerg]

They are miniatures?

…or they are hungry and fine paying money to remedy that.

[Peelee]

…or they are hungry and fine paying money to remedy that.

This one.

[Metastachydium]

Alright, then! In the interest of keeping things rolling, I'll use my question! Who is implied to have difficulty aging (and not because of creature type or magic items interfereing with the process?

[Peelee]

Well, if they stop making assumptions...

[Tzardok]

I dunno, I think he's talking about the Empress and her problems with "growing up"...

[Metastachydium]

Well, if they stop making assumptions...

I'm not sure how that's relevant? (He has aged just fine, and there's nothing there about difficulty aging further.)

I dunno, I think he's talking about the Empress and her problems with "growing up"...

That one's not about aging, though, but rather size. (And if the Empress ages slower than those around her, that is a result of her creature type.)

[Peelee]

I'm not sure how that's relevant?

Haley implies he had difficulty aging re: loss of hearing. Frankly, i assumed by "implied" that there was no actual difficulty aging and could have sworn you were talking about this strip specifically.

[Metastachydium]

Haley implies he had difficulty aging re: loss of hearing.

I'm pretty sure she just doesn't remember the rules (hence the need for that reminder), but yeah, it would qualify in that case.

Frankly, i assumed by "implied" that there was no actual difficulty aging

That is correct! But it is explicitly brought up as an "accusation".

and could have sworn you were talking about this strip specifically.

No, and like I said, I think that logic is a bit shaky, but should you have a question in store, well, fire away, I suppose.

[Peelee]

That is correct!

Well dangit, now i want to know! So ill go with an easy one. What does Vaarsuvius have to say on the subject?

[Lord Torath]

Well dangit, now i want to know! So ill go with an easy one. What does Vaarsuvius have to say on the subject?

Well, V's finger had quite the stirring dissertation prepared regarding the tediousness of 20-30 strip-long trial scenes (and two idiot lawyers). Vaarsuvious is not her finger, however, so that's probably not the correct answer.

[Peelee]

Vaarsuvious is not her finger, however

I think that's the only thing preventing this from being an acceptable answer, yeah.

[Ron Miel]

That is correct! .

Well dangit, now i want to know! So ill go with an easy one. What does Vaarsuvius have to say on the subject?

Is that a new question for the quiz? I don't think the previous one has been answered. The phrase "that is correct" was a response to a small point. I don't think it means the question was correctly answered. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding it.

It was taken as an acceptable answer here (bolding mine):

I'm pretty sure she just doesn't remember the rules (hence the need for that reminder), but yeah, it would qualify in that case.

My question is indeed a new question, as it has airway had an attempted answer that both the other person and I agreed almost fit but not quite.

[ZhonLord]

Just to make sure, you're asking what V has to say on the subject of aging, correct?

[Lord Torath]

What does Vaarsuvius have to say on the subject?

On the subject of being turned into pub snacks, Vaarsuvius has this to say: Fireball!

Find someone telling someone else to leave without telling them to leave.

I have one word for you: "Go". (EDIT: Removed confusion of Page 1204)

Show me a teeny tiny expression of divine wrath.
