I really wasn't being defensive. I guess I should have added an XD emoticon. As for why the fish and logs keep getting brought up, I guess they're more controversial than Apostles. I couldn't tell you why though.Borgoff said:No reason to get defensive. If the apostles are so important then...why are we talking about the damn fish and logs?

Ooooook Ooooook, this is a nice thought, but not here please. Think of the fishies...Borgoff said:Maybe include I'll include Idea in my guess on the final kill just for kicks. It would be cool to see Griffith become one with the Idea.I seem to have a way with far-fetched specs today.

Forest Wraith said:I hate to suggest this after so much work has already been done but I think that the Kill count should be ordered to start when Guts first kills someone as a child mercenary rather then when we first see him kill the Female Apostle. It's not canon but it would be a more accurate count in my opinion.
Forest Wraith said:It does make for a more accurate progression of the kill-count;
Forest Wraith said:as starting it in canon from when we see him kill the Female Apostle tags on almost a hundred kills from that time before we flash back to Guts' formative years.
"Griffith No More!" said:Okay...
Since Guts wasn't a real person leading a real life now being chronicled by the famous biographer Kentarou Miura, I'm going to have to sort of disagree with you there. The Female Apostle was and is the first kill depicted in the manga, making it Guts the fictional character's (as he is in realiy) first kill in the series (not counting the protoype, of course). Again, it would simply be chronological to Guts' life, which I agreed would be an interesting feature, however no more "accurate", objectively speaking. Actually, it's arguably much less accurate since the story itself isn't depicted chronologically, and not all of Guts life is depicted, anyway (for instance, if you were following along the in the books, it would just be out of order, not a more accurate progression or whatever bullshit you said).
"Griffith No More!" said:Also, you simply misspoke in the first place referring to the accuracy of the count in talking about it being in chronological order, which has nothing to do with whether or not the count is accurate. Hope that's all cleared up now.
Forest Wraith said:My point is is that its more accurate from a chronological stand-point.
Forest Wraith said:That's what I was trying to clarify. I'm glad you noticed.

Aazealh said:Also, for those that didn't notice there's now a new classification for kills: Legitimate, Indeterminate and Miscellaneous. That allows us to count everything we want in there without diminishing Guts' accomplishments by listing a fish, log or his own arm next to apostles. In other words it's perfect.
Well, as you probably already know, this classification is simply the first step towards the final stage of the roster. The next step is this: http://skullknight.net/php/test2.html (Please don't click submit... it won't work yet.

How about adding the option to summarize the amount of kills by page, episode, volume or arc? So you would still have the total number of all kills on the left side, but also the number of kills in one specific episode or volume etc. in a respective column. The species column would just list all the species involved (And perhaps their quantity too). Would you consider that any good?Walter said:I'd like to include all possible ways of sorting the info, before I start loading each entry into the database. ..

Walter said:Just an update to let you guys know I haven't abandoned this project. Far from it, I've learned MySQL and now I'm learning PHP so I can make this data much more customizable. I don't like announcing dates, but I think I should be done with this within the next month. So, keep your eyes open.
"Griffith No More!" said:This is a great project. I say after it's finished, you make all kinds of crazy lists like alleged kills, such as the 77 other Tudor mercs Guts was supposed to have killed in the 100 man fight.
Not sure I understand what you mean...?Chung said:Sweet, great job!
You might want to add a header for the acual listing, if it didn't occur to you already.
