Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
... Which only distantly relates to the fact the ship is trapped. By your line of reasoning, one could just as well say that Julio is responsible for the ship's present situation, since he chose the crew.
I guess my beef here is: This makes it less of a summary and more of a commentary - an opinionated one, too. I think it's wholly unnecessary. That said, it doesn't defeat the purpose of the summary, since it's still usable to find the strip. So I guess I'm not going to make it a big deal. It's just a bit of unneeded weight.DM in Mummy's Mask I, II, III | Keshkaru and Ozkrak in Extinction Curse | Marzena in Age of Worms | Elrembriel in Wrath of the Righteous | Gurmok in Nightmare in Katapesh | DM in Catacombs of Ravenloft Avatar courtesy of Neoseph7

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Her lack of self-awareness is pointed out in-comic. It's worth including it in the summary.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Honestly, I think you're just being overly pedantic about that one. I de-editorialized and removed "is stupid" and added common sense to the lack.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
This only covers the last 2/3 or so of the comic, and misses the (apparent, at least) end of the Bandana vs Andi subplot. I'd suggest:
1075: Bandana finally gets some respect around here; another villain is tossed off an airship.Last edited by unbeliever536; 2017-06-06 at 08:27 AM.
Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I might be in the minority, but I'm going to give you the same objection I gave SaintRidley above: Yours is more of a commentary and less of a summary. The point about respect for Bandana isn't particularly helpful with finding the strip in the long list (which is the goal of the summary), because it was already there in the last strip. On the other hand, why are neither Roy or the giantess worth mentioning explicitly?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Perhaps "Bandana puts Andi in her place, then teams with Roy to throw the giantess overboard"

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I liiiiive
I've been very busy with RL stuff, as you guys may have finished. I'll keep updating the first post whenever I get a chance, but if anyone does ever feel like taking over when we finally get to the next thread, you are welcome to. In the meantime, give me a few minutes!
I see that this thread is still marked as "Coming soon" in your signature, so I may actually be 'in time' with this response - yeah, go for it!
EDIT: Okay, and that's the first post all updated now!Last edited by DaggerPen; 2017-06-30 at 07:41 PM.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
It will be a long time until we need the next thread for this: By the present average rate, it would take another 300-350 strips. That said, I wouldn't mind taking over if you'd like me to. This thread is really useful, and it isn't more work than I can handle.
A couple of line returns are missing, by the way.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Hrm, I found one but am I missing any? I didn't spy any at a glance.
And thank you! Both for the welcome and for the offer. I'll hold out a bit longer and see if I can be more up to date, but if I ever get really behind again or this thread does actually make it to the point where it needs to be restarted anyway I may take you up on that.I am: Neutral Good: -2 chaos, -21 evil and 15 balance!

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I see missing returns between:
- 1020/1021
- 1050/1051
Also, I think there might be an extra return at the very beginning of the DStP spoiler? And I notice a bunch of pre-DStP summaries use dashes rather than colons after the strip number. Finally, #1024 is not numbered at all.Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

On my phone, so links have to wait until I get computer time to edit them in.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
DaggerPen, hoping you forgive me for the plug, but I figured someone in this group might have some interest.
I'm not sure if anyone who likes to summarize these strips are interested, but the thread I curate that handles Transcribing the Comic is in need of some help! I've got a bunch that haven't been claimed yet, unfortunately of anything after 1025.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
No worries about the plug, Wombat! I might gently shoo you out in a non-vigilante-modding way if it were a plug for, like, an OOTS betting thread or something, but the Transcription is a closely related project to which I've contributed - heck, I'm surprised I didn't plug it in the first post.
Speaking of the first post, holy crap these new comics backlogged quickly. I'll edit the first post with the new summaries in a few minutes, and hunt down those missing line breaks.
EDIT: This has nothing to do with anything, but I just wanted to note that for all the years I've seen you around these forums I have mentally parsed the smokestack behind the giant wombat in your icon as an inexplicably smoking hat that the wombat was wearing and your icon now makes so much more sense.Last edited by DaggerPen; 2017-07-10 at 06:48 PM.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I think we should probably mention the world 1.0 info. I'd modify to:
1082: Hel complains about how her worship has changed since the previous world.Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
The previous world has never been much of a factor in the story. I think that sort of detail will be quickly forgotten and isn't necessary.
1083: Hel's bet with Thor. That would be enough words
