How has no one mentioned the whole Fyron's son? You know, that thing which is basically a retcon by this point?

Re: Mysteries of the Stick
Yeah, that's just what I was going to say. Most of the OP's questions I have no idea how they will come to pass but I'm quite sure we'll find out and I'm looking forward to it. But the whole Fyron's son thing bothers me for some reason, because at the moment it just don't make no sense at all.
Er, that doesn't "stand to reason" at all. Nothing whatsoever has been said or seen that suggests looking at the Snarl has that sort of effect on people, and we've seen people in-panel looking directly at it. Besides, it doesn't seem all that likely that Shojo could know that the Snarl had already destroyed the first world, yet doesn't know that people are incapable of perceiving it correctly.
I think you and I use very different definitions of the word "logically".
Far from it, actually.Please write all sarcasm in blue text. All metaphors should be marked in red text and for any split infinitives, please use green. Thank you.

Re: Mysteries of the Stick
Thanks for all the stuff. Just to make clear this thread is not to answer questions (that's for the rest of the forum) but to put the questions unanswered on here. I cannot have asked them all and I'd like others to help. The thread is to help people remember the comic's convulted storylines and threads and at the end of the comic, this thread will be a primary resource to find questions which Mr B still has not answered by then (thanks for posting on my thread Giant). Also does any one have any ideas on how to sort the OP it is getting very long.

Re: Mysteries of the Stick
Its a freakin' God-killing abomination made from the very snarls in the threads of reality itself! That like, even worse than Cthulhu, how can witnessing something like that NOT leave you as a broken husk. Beside, we have never seen anyone looking at the Snarl, we've seen images of people looking at the Snarl described by people who haven't actually seen the Snarl themselves.
Perhaps it doesn't even have a real shape, as it is a being of pure chaos, and thus is perceived differently by each person.

Re: Mysteries of the Stick
Most of these things here are more like unresolved plots/subplots rather than mysteries. I say, we make a poll to vote on a list of The 7 Mysteries of OOTS.
Of course, the difference between a mystery and a plot element is that the plot won't require the former one to be resolvedLast edited by M.A.D; 2011-07-14 at 10:48 AM.

Re: Mysteries of the Stick
What is Varsuuvius’ gender?
We will never know. There really is no need to speculate, as the Giant has made it clear there will never be any leads to the truth behind this mystery.
What is MitD?
I think there's an entire thread devoted to this very subject.
When will Xykon and Redcloak betray each other? Who will make the first move?
How do we know they will? This seems more like a speculation than a mystery to me.
What broke up the Scribble so much?
The guilt. When Kraagor died defending the Scribblers, it weighed on their consience heavily.
How did Kraagor die?
He was killed by a reaching tendril from the Snarl.
Who was the eye trailing Mr Scruffy from?
Almost certainly Zz,dtri. But let's just wait for it to be confirmed.
When will Roy learn the Mageslayer trick?
Is that the one Horace taught him? He already learned that.
What happened when Roy and Durkon visited the Oracle the first time?
They asked where Xykon was. The Oracle replied, "In his throne room." Unhappy with this answer, they dangled him out the window until they were permitted a second question. They subsequently remembered him as a beautiful woman whom Roy seduced.
How will Durkon’s return be posthomonous?
Ummm... it will be posthumous because he will be dead.
Will Belkar kill Varsuuvius?
Unlikely.
Will Xykon come within 1000 feet of Girad’s gate?
Yes, for sure. That's what the Oracle said.
Where does Xykon go when he comes back with new tricks?
What does this mean?Last edited by Thattaman; 2011-07-14 at 11:45 AM.

Don't worry, I try to always keep that signature on standby.
The answer is here. It's just to make the poster look nice and balanced.

Re: Mysteries of the Stick
You can use the "Members List" to look up a particular person. But yeah, I figured the answer was something like that, I just didn't think The Giant would actually bother giving an answer to something so trivial.

Re: Unresolved plot point collection thread
Suggestions for improving this list:
This is not a plot point, and we will never know. The Giant had that much decided on long enough ago that it's in the badly-outdated FAQ on this very site.
This is poorly worded, at best. We know what broke up the Order of the Scribble - quarreling over how best to defend the Gates. I think the question you wanted ask would be: "What caused the intense distrust between Girard and Soon?"
That's Kraagor - there's no "n" in his name.
What the heck is this supposed to mean?
This is not a plot point - it's a running joke at best (and I hesitate to even call it that since it has only come up a scant few times), and a question that could easily never be answered.
This is also not a plot point (though I suspect this one we may learn eventually).
I believe you mean "Will Tarquin be deposed, killed, or otherwise defeated, and if so, how?"
I'd add a "when" to this. And remove the quotation marks.
Um, he already did.
This isn't really a plot point, given what little relevance it could possibly have on the story has long since passed, with us getting enough information on it that there are no real lingering questions of any importance surrounding it.
Better way to phrase this: "What was the Oracle alluding to when he started to bring up an excuse about Belkar killing Vaarsuvius?" (Also, you misspelled V's name.)
We know the answer to that: yes.
Same misspelling of "Kraagor" as before.
I seriously doubt that's a plot point so much as a way to foreshadow new factions we didn't know about as of that strip entering the conflict (such as the IFCC) and give the forums something to speculate wildly about for pretty much the rest of the strip's life.
First, this is not a plot point. Second, given's V's sex will never be revealed and part of the reason for her spouse's ambiguity is to preserve V's (and generally run with that motif for the character, expanding it to her sexuality since their kids are adopted), I'd say we can be almost certain that this too will never be revealed.
We know the answer to this: a couple of Lizardfolk he hires to regularly resurrect him after each death. He can see the future and has a lot of money, so he can do that.
