Order of the Stick Trivia XXI: Find Me an Epic Thread!

[enq]

Oh crud, I could have asked for three strips. Yeah, correct =)

[Kornaki]

Find a cat that is entirely orange.

[Peelee]

Find a cat that is entirely orange.

Imean, there's a little black and pink in there too.

Find me evidence that an elf has a nose. Nale and Thog are notably not elves.

Not intended as a serious answer, just being a smart@**: Unless elves smell with their tongues or something, V demonstrates nose-havingness all the way back in 20:6.

[Ron Miel]

Find a person who isn't Tarquin or Belkar, and the person is throwing a dagger.

[arimareiji]

If I had thought my joke answer were valid, I would have asked a question. If Peelee thinks it's valid, then it's my bad and there was an OQ in play. Until then I don't think there is an OQ in play, and in any event we really shouldn't keep ignoring rule 6.

(If it's a bad rule it should be dropped by consensus, but it is a rule.)

6. There's a difference between rephrasing—finding a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers—and just simply rewriting to rule out the last answer. Don't do the latter. (If you are unsure, just ask it.)
7. If an answer is given that in no way is correct, then players can call attention to the fact. At that point, there may be 2 questions occurring at the same time. The 1st question that was incorrectly answered is the valid question. The second question may be answered, but for no prize (aka asking the next question).

_{Edit: Correction}

[Yanisa]

Find a person who isn't Tarquin or Belkar, and the person is throwing a dagger.

Haley throws Crystal's dagger in panel 7, and misses.

I found your answer interestingly correct, but I will err on the side of caution. I will put a question in the box below. If you guys need a question, go for it, if not I will repost it on a OQ. I just couldn't help myself answering a question I know the answer off, but I also will be offline for the next 8-10 hours.

Spoiler: Box with question

Besides the bunny plushie, I did spot another bunny themed item. What and where is that?

[arimareiji]

I'd rather route around, so I think I've got an answer that's unambiguously correct this time: Wrecan says Veldrina has a nose (panel 9).
_{Just on a side note, I love the art in that panel.}

For the same reason, Roy may not have the Greenhilt ancestral weapon -- okay, either of them -- but does have an awesome pair of bunny slippers in panels 1 and 2. (^_^)

Find a company that always has job openings.
(As openly stated in their promo material, not by deduction.)

_{Edit: Because unlike the gods, I have no idea when to just hit Publish and leave well enough alone. There, now I can get some sleep.}

[enq]

Evil? Although it's talking about an industry, not a company, so maybe there's something more specific you had in mind. OQ if correct.

[Ruck]

It has a NASDAQ symbol, so I'd say it's a company and this is correct. (Also, it was the one I thought of.)

This might be easy and I think it's been done before, but I'm not sure. (And hopefully the outside reference won't be too daunting.) Find me a Monty Python reference that is not anything in the Polearm Emporium.

I'm very amused that you got both a kind of sort of technically correct answer and also the answer I was thinking of.

This answer may be cheating of some sort since you'd have to be a fan to notice it, but the one that jumped to my mind is the demon roach in panel 2. Sorry I couldn't think of one that's widely-known...
_{(And regardless, I really wish I knew why my brain keeps wrongly associating the aptly-named Sir Not Appearing In This Film with the opening credits. Have we ever had a callout to the møøse and "those who... sacked" jokes?)}

We recently had a question about what it would take for Elan to master basic multiplication (splitting up the party for another year).

Who might be a good tutor, and it makes sense that it would require splitting up the party since they're not sure if their Sending spell works?

[Peelee]

Speaking as someone who's not seen most of their stuff, I'd say that's one the least "you'd have to be a fan" references they probably have. If someone has seen a Monty Python production, it's probably been that one.

Not to speak ill of your knowledge base, of course.

[Ruck]

It also happens to be the answer I was thinking of when I asked the question, so, well done all around.

[arimareiji]

Minor hint, impatience strikes again... and it's not like she has a whole lot else to do right now, anyway.

[enq]

Veldrina.

Find me three people holding Roy's sword without being Greenhilts themselves.

[ByzantiumBhuka]

First off, there's Haley.

[Ruck]

First off, there's Haley.

And the Azure City blacksmith.

[Lord Torath]

Does Bugsby's Sword-Retrieving Hand count? Yeah, I didn't really think it would.

But Elan counts, right? No? I guess he's not really holding it, so much as he's impaled on it. His dad counts, though.

Open Question.

[Mike Havran]

Veldrina.

Find me three people holding Roy's sword without being Greenhilts themselves.

And Tarquin is the third.
...
Ninja'd. But okay, find somebody who is not impressed with a Feather Fall.

[enq]

But Elan counts, right? No? I guess he's not really holding it, so much as he's impaled on it. His dad counts, though.

Clearly not a talent he passed on to his son.

(I hope someone gets it, at least arimareiji :D)

P.S. Those were the exact three examples I had in mind.

[b_jonas]

Mike Havran: Roy in #180 ninth and tenth panel. OQ.

[arimareiji]

Clearly not a talent he passed on to his son.

Thank you, a literal lol was needed after another day of battles of attrition with insurance companies. I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm in LN hell. XD

Ran into something a day or two ago... even Elan himself says it. "Roy, you may know strategies, and tactics, and basic math, and everyday common knowledge, but *I* know theatrics."

Who does a riff off of "Fake it until you make it", about clerics no less?

I believe the cool kids say "Feign it till you ordain it".

Anyways, find me someone discussing a more democratic form of government. Well, "government".

[Ruck]

I believe that would be "a whiny little toad who never stopped complaining."

Can I get two different statements about a loss of a person diminishing a group of people?

I think one is Elan talking about Girard and the loss of butt comedy or something, but I can't recall a second. Ah well.

[b_jonas]

That's a good one. #153 tenth, Durkon about Roy: “He be tha heart an' soul o' the team, lad.” #165 first, Vaarsuvius about Belkar, “Truly, he was the best of us.” OQ.

[Ruck]

I was looking specifically for statements phrased as "the loss of ____ diminishes ____."

I think one is Elan talking about Girard and the loss of butt comedy or something, but I can't recall a second. Ah well.

You're on the right track.

[Taevyr]

This has to count, no?

If that makes two, OQ.

[Ruck]

It does. It'll make two once someone actually links the other one.
