The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
Welcome to The Stick Awards II: Second Edition!
The Stick Awards are handed out to the best strips of all time as chosen by our fellow Playgrounders.
This week we are covering the comic strips 361 through 370.
For full details about the Stick Awards, please check out the main thread here.
To read more about the original Stick Awards, created by Nazzo, the 102nd, please read his thread here.
To vote in this thread, simply state which comic of the ten listed is your favorite. Bolding the number of the comic (Like this) helps it stand out.
Voting for this week will close on March 25th, 4pm EDT. Any votes made after that will NOT count toward the totals.
Last week, 352 The Turnaround gave a stirring speech that.... shattered all expectations, not to mention a few eardrums, causing the judges to narrowly vote in favor of it over its competitors.
Now it is time to move on to the next challenge, to the next adventure, and maybe even on to voting for who will win...

Eesh, tough choice this time around. But having two siblings, I have a special liking for 364, so it gets my vote.

Oof, that's rough--a choice between a great Thog strip and a great Xykon strip. I'm gonna have to go with #367.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
Gonna go with #368.
The idea that they first try to go in the watchtower without breaking it down and trying to sell encyclopedias and thin mints (why do they even have them?) is just priceless to me beyond measure.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
Some nice stuff. This time not really a strip that really focuses on the CPPD . I really like the transition 362 to 363. If I could vote for "Last two row of 362 + First row of 363", I would totally do that. 363 also feature the rise of the Rookie Chief. Elan/Thog in prison is just awesome, but I'm going for 369 - Fight!. Miko vs. Redcloak and the last panel are simply too good to turn down

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
At first I was going with 361. Like I wrote one week ago, in a bunch of well but not marvellous strips, that could be to remember.
Then, I read Thog's words game in 367 and changed my mind. This is not one of my favourite parts of the comic, and this could be just the second or third time I read this particulary strip. And that Nale nail not-Nale is remarkable, along with the eviltwin assumption.
Then again, I saw 368, 369 and 370. New bunch, much higher taste on my tongue. And 369 flies all over the ten of them.Was vernünftig ist, das ist wirklich; und was wirklich ist, das ist vernünftig. (G.W.F.H.)

Oh man. 367: Innocent Man. Is there even a question?
I'm pretty sure this strip is going to win Best of the Hundred from me already. Best of Ten is a no-brainer.Number of Character Appearances VII - To Absent Friends

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
367. Really, it is a strong candidate for best in hundred, or thousand, not merely best in 10.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
Wow, this is a tough one! The Wizard Guy scene always makes me giggle, as does the not-nale, not nale... monologue. Also, is 369 the first time we see the roaches taking bets?
In the end, though, I'm going to have to go with 370. It does the most to advance the non-Nale-related plot, and shows Xykon being awesome.

367. A perfect dramedy.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
With the forum downtime coming up, people might want to get their votes in while they can. If the forum is down much past Tuesday, I am very likely to close this week's poll very soon after the forum is back up and running.
So get those votes in ASAP if you wanted them counted.Concluded: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
As others said, great Thog moment and a great Xykon moment here, too. I suppose that in the end, I'll go with for 367.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
361 was marvelous, 'cause it showed for the first time that Nale was also a really dangerous schemer.
But yeah, 367 trumps all.Last edited by Killer Angel; 2014-03-20 at 04:08 PM.

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
#367 is hilarious, but is going to win anyway so I'll give it to #362. These few strips were Nale's best moments.
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Already addressed uphread.
Depending on just when things close down on Saturday I might just shut this week's poll on Saturday. Or I might allow any votes that come in after the forum comes back up, but before I get around to creating the next poll. Playing it by ear, mostly.Concluded: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition

Re: The Stick Awards II: Second Edition (#0361 - #0370)
I hope I'm not posting too late, I just made an account. But anyway, 369. I mean, 367 is admittedly one of the funniest in this set of 100, but 369 deserves second in this set for an epic battle with Miko and Redcloack.

Yay, the forums are back! I'm gonna be swamped today, though. So I'm gonna grant a 24 hour extension and close up this batch tomorrow at 4pm EDT. I need the time to get used to the new table code (as well as fix all the old ones) anyways.
