I can't put all the characters as options... Sorry.

I like Augua and Captn Carrot. They make a good team.

Carrot... a man who can bluff the head of the guild with nothing more than an honest expression and the truth...

Then there is the Partiarch and his pet inventor...

It has to be death, he is just such a well written character.

What the heck is discworld? :sniper: we should just kill all of them

What the heck is discworld? :sniper: we should just kill all of them Series of books by Terry Pratchett, and you cant kill 'em all with gonne, 'cos Vimes will catch you.

Hey, yeah... thanks for that....


Anyway... the BEST characters always have hats with "WiZZZard", written on them, I think...

Rincewind, definately.

Butbutbut! Death! and the adorableness! Wahhh!

Ironically, I voted for Vetinari :p

I had to go for Death

He's just such a great character, and kind of sums up the discworld series for me.

As I pointed out in the other Pratchett thread... (TWO pratchett threads... did I DIE?)... I'm not familiar with this 'death' fellow... do you mean good ol' Bill?

But, you got to love Rincewind... where is he always running to? Doesn't matter, it's the 'FROM' that's important...

:D

if you'd have had it up, I'd have voted for the chest lol....

As I pointed out in the other Pratchett thread... (TWO pratchett threads... did I DIE?)... I'm not familiar with this 'death' fellow... do you mean good ol' Bill?


There is two Pratchett threads 'cuz I posted 'em. And 'cuz you said you're not familiar with Death, you probably aren't dead.

if you'd have had it up, I'd have voted for the chest lol....
Well luggage goes without saying when you mention Rincewind

I think he is asking you to read Reaper Man again ;)

Damn I totally forgot luggage! Did I hear tiny steps? Lots of 'em? Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
!!!!! :( !!!

The Patrician or Death.
I just voted for the Patrician because hes alive.
I know, Im a vitalist ^_^

As I pointed out in the other Pratchett thread... (TWO pratchett threads... did I DIE?)... I'm not familiar with this 'death' fellow... do you mean good ol' Bill?

You don't know Death? And you call yourself a Pratchett Fan =P
Death, as in Grim Reaper in 'Reaper Man', 'Soul Music', 'Mort', and many many other very good Pratchett books

Sam Vimes, but i couldn't explain why. Probably because he's very human.

I think he is asking you to read Reaper Man again ;)

Here's your cookie... :)

Billy Door, alias Death, from Reaper Man. Thou shallt not judge!

I guess Pershikia get's the cookie, too... :)

Gee, thanks!

I voted for Granny.... she is a bad ass....

but I really love Gaspode the dog, and Carrot is always interesting

Death.

Wait! Death of Rats was a choice? Grr. Still, I also like Death of Fleas, but I've only seen him in one book.

I have to mention the witches since no one else has. Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and to a lesser extent Magrat.

Whats Discworld?


*waves hi to Grave* :)

Whats Discworld?


*waves hi to Grave* :)

As been said, it's fictional place where most of Terry Pratchett's books take place. (Dry, eh.)

I liked Scrofula when he came to get Rincewind...

Whats Discworld?


*waves hi to Grave* :)

Hi hi, honey child.

Discworld is a series (a big series, now) of books written by a very 'English' author... with a very 'English' sense of humour.

Despite that, he is becoming quite popular in the US, now - although still hard to get hold of, down our way.... try a Barnes and Noble.

It's a series of fantasy stories, set on a world which is a big disk, on the backs of four elephants, balanced on a big turtle (cookie for the first person to NAME the turtle...)

Very funny, highly sarcastic... almost all of the books take a surreal look at modern phenomena, transposed onto a fantasy backdrop.

Dr Horace Worblehat, aka the librarian!

http://www.unseenuniversity.demon.co.uk/pictures/librarian.jpg

Anyone who can play BSJ's organ, "invent" the motorcycle, and manipulate L-space is pretty cool.


Fred Colon, Foul Ole Ron (Millenium hand and shrimp!), Susan Sto Helit/Death, C.M.O.T. Dibbler, and Greebo are my other favorites.

AAAH... I forgot Foul Ole Ron. "Tantrabobs... how's your granny off for soap...", "Tuppence more, and up goes the donkey.."

Genius.

I love the series, death, the librarian,sam vimes sr. and all the others are just fantastically designed characters...Tolkien could've learned a thing or two, three...hundred. :p

Where does it tell the name of The Librarian?

And I want my cookie!

Great A'tuin

So... TWO threads (that's got to be worth a cookie), the Bill Door connection, (that's got to be worth a cookie), and naming the turtle....

You're doing okay for virtual cookies, today... :)

"The Turtle Moves".

Where does it tell the name of The Librarian?

And I want my cookie!

Ooh, that's a tricky one... it might have been Moving Pictures.. :(

*Assorts all his cookies in line* Yes!!! I got cookies!!!!

This tread is not gonna drop from forum, I want more cookies!

*Assorts all his cookies in line* Yes!!! I got cookies!!!!

Hail Pershikia, Cookie Messiah... :)

I honnestly can't choose... they're all so great in their different ways. And what about Twoflower?!

*mutters* I don't know how anyone can describe the discworld series as being fantasy above satire. I mean obviously it's both, but you read it for the satire. *grumbles*

Did anyone describe it that way?

I know my 'review' starts out by saying it is funny, with a very English sense of humour... long before going into 'how' it is framed...

Vote, you heathen! Vote or I burn Ank-Morpork!
Go on then. They won't care. Infact they'll probably do it before you. For they have in-sewer-ants.

Sorry... I was skim reading... It's just one of those silly things that I get worked up about, and it's nothing really.

The Discworld Companion hinted at that. Don't know if it's really cannon.

Ah, yes, I forgot that. Well, it doesn't really matter, since he won't be turned back. ('Cuz nobody wants to irritate him.)

IIRC it is also mentioned in one of the more recent books. But it is only briefly and since I read fairly frequently I have forgotten. I think it may have been Lost Continent though.

I've always quite liked Quoth the Raven. Even though he is more of a bit charachter.

::EDIT::

I've also just found this, may be of interest.

Which is, for anyone interested a translation of this:

Death.

:D

for me it was a toss up between Death and Rincewind. I think we all feel alot like Rincewind.

There are far too many good characters to choose one really good one...but I have gone with Death...his dry humour just cracks me up.

You're wrong, the translation of "clicky!" is actually "oooook!" - see, it's got to have the same amount of letters. Compare the two links, you'll notice.

Luggage

Gotta be Death, I think. :) Although the Luggage is fabulous.

I'm also partial to Agnes/Perdita, but that's just because she reminds me so much of myself.

Dr Horace Worblehat, aka the librarian!

http://www.unseenuniversity.demon.co.uk/pictures/librarian.jpg


It is said this is a possibility in 'The Art Of Discworld' by Paul Kirby/Terry Pratchett
Dr Horace Worblehat lead a quiet Wizarding life, until one day a magical explosion ripped apart his genes. But they never 100% confirm it

Damn I totally forgot luggage! Did I hear tiny steps? Lots of 'em? Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
!!!!! :( !!!

That will teach you to ignore something (hears lots of tiny footsteps), {ummm.. Ok Ok, just don't bite me :headbang: } someone, made of Sapient Pearwood. Which as we all know, only grows in areas of High Magical Fallout and has High Intelligence, An EXTREMELY Bad Temper and A VERY VERY Short Fuse :D

BTW: I voted for Granny Weatherwax. I mean when you can Stare Down the Sun, Defeat Elves AND Fairy Tales AND Chauvanistic Wizards, and Borrow the Collective Mind of a Swarm of Bees, it makes you pretty hard to beat. Just ask her yourself, go on, I dare you :rolleyes:

Whitch one?

Cut-my-own-throat Dibbler and his equivalent, Disembowel-myself-honorably Dibballah

Nobody seems to like Nanny Ogg. :confused:

What the heck is discworld? :sniper: we should just kill all of them

http://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/

Forgive them, PTerry, they know not what they say. ;)

Nobody seems to like Nanny Ogg. :confused:

She's just...comic relief. :p

Sam Vimes for me. Always liked the Watch books best. DEATH is an anthropomorphic personification, so doesn't count. :p

Nobody seems to like Nanny Ogg. :confused:

I like Nanny Ogg, but she IS my mum... :)

The Librarian Rules Ook!

Whitch one?

Both together! I constantly second-guess myself, have a little voice in my head that says, "That's stupid, that's not going to work", etc. about both me and other people, desperately wanted to be cool but still have truckloads of soft toys. Also, I'm fat, I have extremely good hair and yes, sadly, 'a nice personality.'

The Librarian (if you couldn't already tell).

Though, the entire watch is great.

A'Tuin

Did I win a prize? Or did I come too late/mispell again?

For anyone that hasn't read it, think Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, only about Lord of the Rings. It's like the two books had a love child in a satirist's head.

LOL yeah pretty much! Sadly my singing voice is nothing to write home about, although I do have quite a musical bent!

Think you missed the cookie by a couple of days, to be honest... I might have a virtual-muffin around somewhere, as a consolation prize... :)

Woot muffin!

Oh wait, I don't like muffins. Still, I suppose it's the thought that counts.

DEATH IS WAY COOL, of course, but the luggage, man, the luggage!

Half of a virtual treacle-tart? I love treacle-tart... even virtual ones, so you can't have all of it... :)

Mmmmm....Treacle Tart.

Vote, you heathen! Vote or I burn Ank-Morpork!


Who would notice
:(

Whitch one?

And you call yourself a Fan..

As all real Discworld fans know.. They are one and the same person. Agnes was Perditas' real name before she decided she was a witch.

Of those posted, Rincewind and the Luggage. However I'm also very partial to Hamish

I chose Death...but I wanted to choose Bill Door.

Im torn between Death and Vimes.

I chose Death...but I wanted to choose Bill Door.

I'm a little bit in love with Bill Door. How macabre of me... :p
