2007 was a short year in terms of the archives. There were a lot of delays and missed days and gaps. It was so sparse, in fact, that tallying it up took well under an hour, though putting it all in here will likely take a little longer...

7 hours ago, chridd said:Hasn't this already been done (at least up to a year ago... coincidentally almost exactly a year)?
If you'll notice, this thread was actually created in March of last year. Regardless, he and I have both been doing this for years and years, completely independent of each other. I first started mine over six years ago, and this is merely a reboot of that after the original was lost when the old forum crashed. I typically update on a daily or semi-daily basis (as I plan to again once I'm caught up), whereas Ookii, when it's maintained regularly, usually waits until the end of each storyline.
Now, on to 2006!

*Kaoli is marked as a distinct character separate from her Second Life counterpart, just like Ellen and Tedd. This was an oversight on the original count that has been corrected.
**Pandora was not originally credited for her one appearance here, as it was in silhouette during a Q&A segment before her character was introduced.
***This is the second year (the first being 2004) that Elliot has not had the most appearances. As with that year, he placed fourth, and as with that year, it was Grace who took the top spot. This is the first time either Tedd or Susan have outranked him.
****This is the first time Justin has not had the fewest appearances out of the main cast.
*****This year is notable for having almost no appearances outside of the main cast, as is evidenced by the fact that no one aside from the eight of them broke out of the single digits. This is due to the bottle episode nature of the Grace's Birthday Part story arc, wherein most of the action is contained to a single evening in Tedd's house. Most of the other characters who did make appearances did so in flashbacks, fantasy sequences, or else during the brief Q&A segment and short series of guest strips at the end of the year.

I'm back, ladies and gentlemen.
When the thread was lost after the forum reboot and an old version was recovered, the amount of re-calculating that would have taken me was somewhat demoralizing, and I kept putting it off. Long story short, I ended up moving, losing the original count entirely, and never got around to starting up again.
Well, I'm currently sitting around with nothing to do, have acquired some fancy new pens, and thought I'd try them out with a new-and-improved version of the character count. Improved for me, at least. Now each year's worth of appearances in my notebook will be color-coded. Neat! That does sort of mean I have to start over, which is actually more work than trying to pick up where I left off, but whatever.
I'll be posting the counts one year at a time until I catch up. Here's 2002:
Elliot: 136 (1st to 50, 1st to 100)
Tedd: 127 (3rd to 50, 2nd to 100)
Grace: 102 (4th to 50, 3rd to 100)
Sarah: 91 (2nd to 50)

Bold denotes a member of the main cast. Obviously I don't need to indicate which characters made their debuts this year, as that would be all of them. That feature will begin in 2003.
-
Reading it again, I think the funniest thing about this strip is not that this works, but that it occurred to Nanase to try it in the first place.
-
He just has to make sure he has his phone on him whenever he transforms, I guess.
Does this also mean he could start his car just by thinking about it, provided he had his keys? The possibilities are endless.
Also, Dan's commentary immediately made me think of Louis C.K.'s routine, "Everything is amazing and nobody's happy." (Might be NSFW, depending on how your boss feels about certain words, and about you watching YouTube videos when you're supposed to be working.)Seriously though, language. Don't watch it if that's going to bother you.

10 hours ago, Wixelt said:SUCCESS!!!
By crawling on Yahoo, I found this!
Most recent count as of January 9th 2016 is here!
That's brilliant! It means I'll still have to go back a little bit, but better a month or so than fourteen years. Thanks!
-
It's going to be a while before this is up and running again, since while I still have and use my notebook, it's been a while since I've updated it and I relied on the thread in the old forum to remind me of when I left off. I've heard rumors of an attempt at data recovery, but barring that I'll probably have to recount a lot of things to make sure I'm on track.
EDIT:It occurs to me that the rules for appearances were in the original thread, which was deleted. Here are my criteria:
-On panel appearance (duh)
-Off panel dialogue
-Partial appearance. This one is iffy, but I usually require around 25% visibility (or a face) AND clarity as to who the character is. Said clarity must exist in the strip itself, not including context from previous strips. Rare exceptions have been made to the visibility requirement, such as when The Boar died and only its hoof was visible, but I generally stick pretty hard to it.
-Flashbacks and fantasy sequences count
-Recurring apparitions that are not real, such as Susan's personality aspects, are counted as "semi-characters"
-Characters with alter-egos (such as Elliot) receive credit for the appearances of those alter-egos, and the alter-egos themselves receive credit as semi-characters
-If two alter-egos appear in the same strip (like Cheerleadra and Heidi, say) they would both receive individual credit, but Elliot would only be counted once
-Different versions of the same character, like Zeus/Jerry, or any alternate universe versions like Beta Tedd or Second Life Ellen, are counted as separate characters
