Find me evidence that at least one person in the Order actually knows Redcloak's name (by which I mean they know his name to be Redcloak, you SoD-reading nitpickers).

**Ron Miel** · 2013-01-28, 11:25 PM (ISO 8601)

I'll bet Redcloak is 17th level.

**Nettlekid** · 2013-01-28, 11:27 PM (ISO 8601)

How many +5 shoes/boots/footwear-things have been mentioned in the comic?

**daniellay99** · 2013-01-29, 02:21 AM (ISO 8601)

Read the rules: "How Many" questions are illegal.

**WoLong** · 2013-01-29, 02:38 AM (ISO 8601)

In that case, show me an undead facepalm.

Gate? What gate?

Find someone other than Belkar wearing a green cloak with a hood.

Don't be so quick to criticize. The rules say
"No counting questions with more than 3 parts. For example: how many times has Roy said 'the."
My question obeys the rules.

Here are two.

I let Nettlekid's question stand then... If you would tell us if you want one, two or three examples.

**Nettlekid** · 2013-01-29, 10:34 AM (ISO 8601)

I can cite two different strips where +5 footwear is referenced. Maybe someone can find more, but I doubt it.

I start with this one.

No, sorry, it's still against the rules. If you think there are only three (or fewer) examples, then you could only prove it by citing every single strip to show there are no others.

Now, if you want to ask "find three +5 boots" that's a valid question. There might be more than three, and someone might not give the ones you wanted, but would still be a valid answer.

do you see the difference?

I have enough faith in people that they'll have the sense not to cite every strip to show it doesn't apply, and only find the pertinent ones. People aren't stupid. Unless you prove to me that it's against the rules by finding more than 3 strips with relevant examples, then I have no reason to think that there are any more than the three or less strips I've found. And since I'm quite sure that's the case, I'm quite sure that until I'm proven wrong, it stands.

And Ohnic, I had thought of that example, but that's actually not one of the ones I meant. That's a case of shoes that give +5. I'm asking for +5 shoes in the same way that people might say "A +5 Vorpal Greatsword" or along those lines.

**Ron Miel** · 2013-01-29, 10:57 AM (ISO 8601)

That kind of makes the point that there are some +5 shoes in the strip that you don't know about, making it impossible to answer your question correctly.

**Nettlekid** · 2013-01-29, 12:01 PM (ISO 8601)

No, it actually makes my point that I was aware of that potential answer, and had it already accounted for when I made my claim that there were three or less strips containing +5 footwear.

If you want to be so dysfunctionally pedantic about this, then take the question to mean "Find as many pieces of +5 footwear as you can such that the arbitrary number that you find exists collectively within the confines of no more than three separate comics, an individual comic being that which is defined as one of a series of images which appears in sequence under the titling of The Order of the Stick, located under the heading Comics on the website Giant in the Playground. Should one or more of the pieces of footwear you cite as being an answer to the challenge 'Find as many pieces of +5 footwear as you can such that the arbitrary number that you find exists collectively within the confines of no more than three separate comics' is in fact not applicable as a valid answer to the request in regard to any differing definitions between answerer and questioner of such words as 'footwear' and '+5', the answer and the accompanying cited comic will be henceforth removed from the gathering list of the maximum of three relevant comics which can be cited as an answer to this request."

Is this satisfactory, or must I try to drain even more fun and lightheartedness from what is nothing but a fun and lighthearted comic-based trivia game?

I personally don't believe this argument is getting us anywhere, so I figured I'd just answer the question.

The +5 Shoe of Otherness

and

The +5 Boots of Inaction

Through Soda's top.

Find me a person in possession of three pairs of identical objects, except for the colours, each pair having a different colour.

I dunno if this was what you were looking for, but Redcloak certainly has quite a few books here, and I count at least three pairs of books that are the same color.

**Don Ohnic** · 2013-01-30, 05:17 AM (ISO 8601)

No, not the one I am looking for. The one I am looking for refers to exactly six objects in a person's possession at the time of the strip (or rather, the time of the panel).

**Don Ohnic** · 2013-01-31, 01:19 AM (ISO 8601)

Clue: in this panel this person is also gaining experience without effort.

Find me a strip with 5 different bald people, that isn't during a battle.
