Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
No wonder you defend her, because you are the exact same type of person as Hilgya. Psychopaths will see other psychopaths as perfectly rational, after all. Your reaction to everyone around you finding you objectionable is "There must be something wrong with them, not me! I'm so misunderstood! That legitimizes anything I want to do to them as 'revenge'! Whee!"
Al lwe know about Hilgya's family comes from her one-sided rants. The one exception is the flashback to her husband that the Giant threw in, which directly contradicted Hilgya's claims; which was exactly the point, by showing us the difference between the reality and her interpretation of it for dark comedy.
You apparently admire her for having "strong convictions". Guess what, fanatics and people with paranoid delusions (just to name some examples) all have strong convictions, because their world view is in a closed loop, but that doesn't make their opinions automatically correct if they are built upon false premises.
When people like Hilgya have children, they will inevitably try to indoctrinate their children into the same delusion ("Mommy knows best."), while isolating them from society around them ("We can only trust each other!") the way cults do. And if the child tries to leave, they become angry at the child's "betrayal".

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
There was literally an image of a member of the Firehelms pointing a crossbow at Hilgya in order to force her to marry Ivan. The Giant confirmed that it was true.
And, again: respecting *all authority* got several places in some really hot water. I mean, for all we know, the dwarf that tried to hand Hilgya over like property to Moron was just... You know. Doing his job.
Following orders.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
This is just one of my favorite comic updates ever. Not just in OotS, but in all web comics I have ever read. It is just too damn good! That's all I'm here to say.

Theory: the wooly-haired bard with the brown hair is a student of either Thirden/"Squeaky" or Janna/"Squawky" (I'mma stickin' to that nickname 'till it stops amusing me, which will be never). I nickname him "Shrieky".

if you feel you should do it, then do it and don’t engage further by telling us you’ve done it. If you feel you shouldn’t do it then don’t do it and commit to it by not bringing doing it.

You know what they say, you never know how good you have it until you don't have it anymore.
And now I realize how good we had it when Hilgya didn't appear in the previous few strips.Last edited by Resileaf; 2019-04-29 at 02:11 PM.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
We've got several unnamed characters to speculate about, and yet here we are talking about Hilgya again, like we have for the last 57 comics, and I, for one, am sick of it.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
I have just realized something... the vampires may have missed a very important thing...
The defensive measures of the council hall would strike down anybody who attacks somebody else inside... but the OotS has a ton of dwarven allies eager to die fighting heroically now...

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Well, if only everyone could agree on the absolute truth that forced marriage is and will always be completely wrong and that it entitles the victim to redress, we'd not be in this situation.
That Ivan did not do it doesn't mean they didn't (try to) make her available. If one sells, say, drugs and the guy doesn't use them, they're still a drug dealer.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Am I missing something? As far as I can tell, dwarves don't have to die heroically. They have to die honorably, in battle. There's nothing wrong with living to 350, attacking a tree root and having a heart attack.
I might have missed a long discussion in various threads about this, of course ;)

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Wow it great to see Minrah alive again. And to see them and their families fully repay Sigdi back and then some for what she did for them all those years ago.

I never noticed that one.
And promptly clicked on the one below your post.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
You are not a troll. You are looking for a fight; I used a well known sentence to express my meaning and set up a pun. I was asked what was useful against a troll/other poor behaviour / continuing on the pun and kept going in the same vein. I have not claimed that anyone should be reported here and have not reported anyone because I don’t think anyone has been too far just yet. If I choose to report someone I won’t brag about it and if I don’t I won’t gaslight (is that the right word? Or maybe something with passive-aggressiveness) them about it either. As for wether Tobrian or you were the monster in my analogy... was Victor Frankenstein or the Creature the the monster?
I’d be honoured. Glad you liked it.Forum Wisdom

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
I believe that is the definition of trolling, actually: posting specifically to evoke an angry response.
For example, if Rich had actually written Hilgya shutting down a sex trafficking ring, I doubt very much the Weirdo would repeat that she did anywhere near as many times as he has stated that as it is.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II
