Cool, this is fun. Answering the way I think most people would… 1. Name a member of the Order of the Stick - **Roy** 2. Name one of their opponents, past or current - **Xykon** 3. Name somebody who has assisted the Order - **O-Chul** 4. Name a character who is or has been dead - **Roy** 5. Name an inanimate object that has been featured in the strip - **Xykon’s Phylactery / Redcloak’s Holy Symbol** 6. Name a strip that was particularly funny (identified by strip number preferably) - [#568, ‘A Sign that You Have a Problem’](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0568.html) (Belkar learns he’s in the village of Lickmyorangeballshalfling). 7. Name a strip that was emotionally moving - [#496, ‘Responsible’](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0496.html) (Roy sees Eric in Celestia) 8. Name a strip that was notable for its art - [#484, ‘At the End of the Day’](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0484.html) (vignettes after the fall of Azure City) 9. Name a strip that had a surprise in it - [#639, ‘If They Pull a Knife’](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0639.html) (Familicide!) 10. To break things up, name an Erfworld character - Uh, the big dude. Parson. ---

Yeah, I tied for 2nd! Still, it’s interesting to see the very varied responses to the strip questions. There’s a lot in the Order of the Stick to pull from. I only had one strip the same with anyone else. ---

There was a pretty wide split on the value of the answers. Questions 1, 2, 4, 5, and 10 were where the answers clustered together. If you got the best answers on those five, you got 41 points. By contrast, getting the best possible answers on questions 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9, would have only given you 11 points. ---

I didn’t know the strip well enough to play, but now I’ve started reading it online and really like it. Thanks, guys! ---

Okay, nevermind. I just saw the link over in the Cafe Society thread, but I’m toooo laaate!!! I thought about putting Miko, but I was set on Linear Guild for some reason, and I wasn’t sure if I should put the whole group or just a member. ---

> [@Ichini\_Sanshigo](#): > > 1. 484 At the End of the Day Oh sure, _now_ you match my answer! Where were you when I needed that extra point to tie for 2nd?? 😃 Seriously, this was fun, **Little Nemo**. I’ve never playd in a Feud before and I’m pretty surprised I didn’t totally suck at guessing. Thanks for coming up with the questions and tallying 'em! ---

Pshaw! I _wish_ I’d seen this earlier. I got a little tied up in Mafia. Okay, a _lot_ tied up. Tied up and dead. And the recent Feuds have been really hard! ---
