Engravings of engravers engraving engravings...
« on: March 17, 2011, 02:50:21 am »

So I'm engraving my rather large bedroom level.

I have two legendary engravers - one a newb who made an artifact miniature forge, and one who got there the hard way.

Continuous spam of 'masterful engravings', which is a good kind of spam.  But I went to look at a few of them.

One is of a legendary engraver engraving a masterful engraving.  The next is of the other engraver engraving a masterful engraving.  So are a lot of them. But this can and probably will get recursive... I'm waiting for the engraving of Urist McEngraver engraving an engraving of Urist McTheOtherEngraver engraving an engraving of Urist engraving a masterful engraving.

Or is that where madness lies?

True madness would be the engraver engraving an image of himself engraving to commemorate the engraving of this very engraving. But that can only happen with artifacts to my knowledge, or at least is too unlikely with normal masterworks.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Yep, and it happened with an artifact like I said. Ultimate example of it is Planepacked.
