    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.
    For the reasons already articulated, this gets my vote.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    So, err, actually, no.
    I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

    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.

    Check this game out! Or at least give it a thumbs up.
    Why "because the plot said so" is not a good answer.

    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.

    Actually, no. Kurald Galain right below me wins. I'm voting for that.

    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).
