The Best of the Quarter 201-225

202 Scanning...
209 Multiclass Discrimination
212 Dirt Farm
220 For a Reasonable Fee
221 Recycling Works

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

I'm in a real doubt between 202 and 221... Belkar x Miko or Belkar x V?

Hmmm...


Ok, I won't regret it. It's 202. "Ethnocentric b*tch" is just too much.

[OOTS_Rules.]

202 rocked. The famous "Lead Sheet" strip.

[BobTheDog]

202, you ethnocentric b*tch!

Edit: waitaminute... this has been voted on already, right?

[Reigheena]

My vote's for 221

[Jarwy]

Definitely 202 Scanning. It's just pure brilliance.

[Sir_Norbert]

Bah. None of these are particularly great and as usual the lowbrow humour is winning the votes. I'll go with 221 because it's mildly funny and therefore the best of the five.

But 223 is obviously the best of the quarter.

[TroyXavier]

221 for me as well narrowly past 202 and 220.

[Nyello]

I 'll vote 220.

[Eldred]

202, definitely. That comic is legendary

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

Edit: waitaminute... this has been voted on already, right?

Yes, that's because these are the playoffs. The 5 first winners of this hundred. The winner here will qualify for the final!

[kerberos]

My pick is 221.

[Ithekro]

209: "Well I know SOMEONE who apparently took a few levels in the Mean Old Cranky-Pants prestige class."

[Dusk_Rider]

I'd vote for 202.

#202, for the last panels and the quote that stuck in my vocabulary

[16oz]

209
Elan genre logic insisting that Miko has to have taken a Samurai level SOMEWHERE for her title. Good stuff.

[David Argall]

221 a bit narrowly over 220

[mockingbyrd7]

#221 is first for me. 202? A close second.

[Cousinbj13]

221.

"I rest easy knowing that your revenge requires you to first outsmart someone's mount."

[Kurald Galain]

Ooh, so many quotes!

Actually it's not the "ethnocentric bitch" remark that does it for me, but the sheer non sequitur fact that Belkar just happens to have been carrying a lead sheet for the entire adventure.

202 it is.

[Kioran]

I´d say 209. It makes an important point about classes - and is, as an added bonus, also funny.

[Megalomaniac2]

202. Classic Belkar and Miko.

[Shott]

I'd go with 220 or 221, but 202 is just too much of a classic. 202 for me please.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

I gotta go with 221. The Vaarsuvious vs. Belkar battle is one of my favorite sub-plots.

[Icewalker]

Huh, close one between 202 and 221, which are my two choices as well.

Hmmm...

"Stop oppressing my culture you ethnocentric b****!"
vs.
"I believe you mean that I shouldn't blow Miko up. I am fairly certain that if I put my mind to the task, I can do exactly that."

I'll vote for 202, the lead sheet set up for future jokes is too great. Heehee, restraining order.

[Tmabbbb]

I'll go with 220.

[ChopSticks28]

202 for me, please.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

#202 makes me roar to this day

[Xaydx]

Yea - 202 is a classic.
