Ah, we're getting to the first post update point again, I see. I'll try to grab it when I'm off mobile later.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
If you do that, can I suggest we use a consistent name for the HPoH? So far, we've been writing "Durkon" with double quotes. In deference to #1030, we might want to write Durkon*, like SaintRidley did. I slightly prefer the latter, personally. But either way, it should be one and the same term across the summaries.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Also, I do rather prefer my version of #1029 to Gwynfrid's (sorry, Gwynfrid). Is having proposed an alternative enough to constitute a contest of the FCFS rule, or do I need to make it explicit?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
As an alternate proposition for 1029 - At this point spending from Durkon's resurrection fund is okay, it's like one random encounter's worth of savings.
I agree that the other options are less satisfactory.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
As usual, I think brevity is an important factor, and it's OK to leave details out. Your proposal is longer than mine, but not horribly so. I could live with it, and I'm reluctant to call for a vote: If you feel strongly about it, I'd rather yield.
Sorry, but I rate this one unacceptably long. I believe a summary's value varies in inverse proportion to its word count.Last edited by Gwynfrid; 2016-03-29 at 04:26 PM.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Having multiple versions is enough by default as long as they both come in before I update the directory and you've had a chance to withdraw your suggestion but didn't. If at least two are proposed I usually just give the thread a week before I pick the one that has a clear consensus, or pick the first one if no one chimed in. If we have one that's close I'll do more formal voting, but we haven't really needed anything that rigorous yet - those rules are mostly there so I won't need to figure them out from scratch if we get into a real debate.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I like Grey_Wolf's summary.
EDIT: Also, for 1031, how about 1031 - O-Chul always wins in a Paladin-Off
Just because I personally thought that was the more memorable point of the strip.Last edited by Elenna; 2016-03-29 at 06:37 PM.

I kinda feel like "sonic reptilian unicorn" should be in there.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
That's a good idea, but let me suggest we make it even more crisp :

Meh, too bland. I was thinking more of:
1033: Unprovoked, Sonic Reptilian Unicorn Cowardly Attacks Paladins.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
We aren't in a race with the Giant for the most impressive comic title (we'd lose). This is meant to be a summary, its only purpose is to make it easier to find a comic. Any unnecessary fluff actually makes the summary weaker from that perspective. By the way, we don't need to mention the paladins, since the last two summaries have O'Chul's and Lien's names. Since a user would browse the summaries one after the other, it's obvious by now that we're in the paladin sequence: we don't need to repeat that for every comic.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Which isn't horrible. I mean, you could also have "Attack of the Sonic Reptilian Unicorn" and have it sound like a monster movie while still being concise and not editorializing in ways we don't know are correct ("cowardly", "unprovoked") - we don't know those are even accurate yet.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
All right, finally got around to chunking up the Book 6 bits so far as well. I'll flip through Book 5 at some point to edit to the "official" rounds as well - I feel like some of them were a bit longer than I'd like for a good delineation point, but we'll see.
