Lets see where you really stand - no if and buts and "these oh and him/her from there"s

The Wizards of UU
The City Guard
The Witches
Tiffany and the Nan Mac Feegle
Death & Co
Moist Von Lipwig & Co
Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? ~~ Oddball

I'm 50/50 with the Wizards and the Watch.

I'd go 50/50 between the watch and Death.

I would choose Moist von Lipwig, but there's only been the two books, so I'll choose Death and company.

Call me Mr Obvious but the Moist & Co group means all the one-offs that weren't parts of the other groups ie; Pyramids, Small Gods, Maurice etc. :P

Okay Mr Obvious, but Pyramids, Small Gods, and The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents weren't amongst my favourites. So my decision is still justified, if not even more so.

EDIT: Oh, and Monstrous Regiment.

:roll: Pyramids is the first of the 'deep' philosophy books and if nothing else deserves respect because it's the first proper and purposeful exploration of the Wrong Trouser Legs of Time (although Terry might not have said it 1st in there for the quote-nerds the theory's self-evident) :twisted:

I love to hate agreeing with pooh! :oops: :lol:

No dithering for me it has to be the Witches on the basis that they're the most powerful and above all sensible people on the Disc. I like the Watch as much really, but they don't have Greebo (which is why they have the edge - even though I really love Gaspode regrettably he can't change his morphic field)... :wink:
