Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
A lot of folks won't have the book.
I also like that the Zz'dtri factoid is OotS-specific, as opposed to the "That's what HE said" joke, which could apply to any list of quotations by any guy.

*checks*
The Index of the Giant's Comments II: The Desert Scrying Eye Was Zz'dtri
does indeed fit the character limit for threads.
If we change it to that, it gets my vote. :smallsmile:
For the reasons already articulated, this gets my vote.

I vote for "That's What HE Said!"
A lot of people don't get the books and won't see that bonus strip. I would even say a majority of people reading the comic don't buy the books and would have no knowledge of the bonus strip.
It's still a question that will come up due to the span of time between the random sensor and the one line by Nale mid-fight about it.

So put it in the FAQ. People still won't get it if you make an obscure reference to it in a thread title.

Put my vote to "that's what he said".

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
Count me in for "The Scrying Sensor was Zzditri." It'll save not only the posts of people asking, but the five or six near-simultaneous replies stating that it was Zzditri.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
Because I don't like the narrow Z reference, I change my vote to "that's what HE said" (and other titles are out of contention anyway)
-
Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
That Z title is long and awkward, is kind of an in-joke, and makes the thread purpose sound more like an FAQ than a comments repository. Put me down for the other leading candidate.

Thanks for your patience... I hope to have the new index up soon.
So, err, actually, no.

QFT. While I (obviously) feel pretty strongly about stamping out the scrying questions once and for all, I'm at least as much casting a vote against worn-out jokes.

Well, "(Insert Title) 2 (or II): Electric Boogaloo" has a comedic heritage that dates back at least thirty years, but "That's what HE said" is actually apropos in this case, since the index catalogs what he (The Giant) said.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
I gotta side with Porthos here.
The Index of the Giant's Comments II: The Desert Scrying Eye Was Zz'dtri
Actually, no. Kurald Galain right below me wins. I'm voting for that.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
Let's do both. The Index of the Giant's Comments II: HE Said The Desert Electric Boogaloo Was Zz'dtri's Gouda.

Seriously, we're going to be getting questions on that for months yet otherwise. Not everyone will buy the books.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
Hey guys, I need this a little urgently, but can someone direct me to where I can find the quote from Rich about
"Fantasy needs to mirror something in the real world, otherwise the rest of it is just escapism"
Or something like that

Thank you so much, I couldn't find it in the table of contents for some reason.

The Index of the Giant's Comments II
Head on over, ladies and gentlemen. The new index is open for comments. Please be patient while I upload the rest (Geekademia Interview, etc). If you notice any quotes missing from the transition, let me know (none should be missing, but you never know what will go wrong).
