We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I dont know if you are still taking new overseers, but ill join up if you are. (perhaps the fort ended, i haven't seen a post resembling an update for a good 10 pages, i gave up at that point.)

If not, awesome read, i am steadily making my way through the gargantuan thread of this fort.

Yeah, I thought I recognized your name. I think you can be dwarfed, yes. Well, if you haven't been already. You may have been. As to an overseer slot... If you've read the first post, I'm sure Splint wouldn't mind. We may have to get you up-to-date on the lore, though.

@ Mr Frog: No, Silena has done nothing except a few things I mentioned offhandedly, which we'd already talked over.

[bp920091]

i have been going through the lore, but its rather slow going (on page 75), Rather entertaining, but ive been just using the forums. Is there an offline version or something for the various lore?

[Talvieno]

Yes there is, in the form of a PDF I made... It's only updated to last August, though... It's a good portion of the thread, but it's far from everything. It ends close to the end of Splint's second reign, so you would be missing Lord Reudh and Tomio.

[Aseaheru]

@ Asea - So basically dwarves being dwarves involved in the creative process? And actually I planned on a Stone airship being hired to help out in the attack in the future in-dimension facility of Eris.

Said airship opened up a major can of whoopass in what I had in mind.

perhaps a bit of time dilation? can we send things forward in time? I think we can but...

[Talvieno]

We can, but it's supposed to go against multiuniversal law, to keep things from spiraling out of control.

[Aseaheru]

ah. woops...
can people go back to a certain location? like can I send a dude to spearbreakers from the ocean?

[Talvieno]

Normally, yes. Right now, no... There's a temporary hold on anything getting in or out of Spearbreakers save through Mr Frog's portal, as he's put up a Portal Interference Generator (or PIG). Basically, it means Ballpoint can't invade anymore... well, until they bring their army and try to bring everything down.

You could send a dude to about half a mile outside Spearbreakers from the ocean, if that helps.

[Aseaheru]

Woo! so I can send a ship to where splint wants from, say, pluto?

[Talvieno]

Maybe not Pluto - I've included Earth a little bit into Vanya's story, but only enough to place Parasol's origin in the same universe as ours. lol   But yeah, from pretty much anywhere. Stone Inc. headquarters if you'd like.

[Aseaheru]

as an example.
so I can do it from a spaceship?

[Talvieno]

Definitely. No issues there.

[Aseaheru]

well, I might want to change a post a bit...
here it is!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

With the completion of the Knerbal District Stone INC slowly ceased operations planetside. after a long drawn out evacuation of the cavern cities a single message was sent to all electronic devices below capable of receiving: Good Luck, You will need it. With that the massive craft, hollowed out of an asteroid, started away for a distant star system, leaving havoc behind as all the installations and equipment produced by the company detonated themselves simultaneously, in inadvertently causing massive earthquakes and considerable confusion. Some say that a small number returned to participate in the final battle, but no evidence of this has been found.

[Lennoxite]

...My original question hasn't been answered yet.

Not sure how to continue the story now, should it be after the time war or in its final stretch? Either way, quite a few changes have to be made.

sorry about that, let me clarify.

The Ballpoint/Parasol war, or at least the Eris portion of it, is supposed to end by the end of Splint's current reign.

Player members in factions:

Mr Frog/Talvieno: Busta!Frog
Reudh: Lord Reudh, Lurit, Tedaz, Strohe
I'm sure there's more, but my brain is fried. Very bad day today.

Eris is trying to get Parasol and Ballpoint to destroy each other. It's spoilerific, so...

Spoiler: Actual spoiler that will ruin everything (click to show/hide)

Parasol and Ballpoint are due for a final battle during Splint's turn, close to the end. Vanya herself will arrive in the summertime. At the end, both Parasol and Ballpoint will be crippled, and Eris will be "utterly destroyed" (note the quotation marks). Canon currently prevents either Parasol or Ballpoint from being done in - we have enough time traveling going on that you'd have to rewrite the past and future in order to make it happen... Unless you want to skip forwards 10,000 years, in which case you'd have to ask around.

I guess my question would be, are you actually trying to have Aegis successfully destroy Parasol?

Nah, I would like them to play some form of supporting role for at least one of the sides. To them, supplying a vast amount of powerful weapons to a company at war could mean potential profit.

They aren't fighters, they are more along the lines of a helper.

[TheFlame52]

I read the whole topic. All 541 pages of it. All I have to say is that Fischer and Dragniean's sickness is the saddest end to a military dwarf's life imaginable. Even death from old age would be better.

I would also like to be dwarfed as one of the future Swordsorphans as Flame.

[Splint]

@ TheFlame52 - Welcome aboard.

@ Lennoxite - So basically they're more on par with being a squishy wizard  that's even squishier than the already squishy Parasol or Eris?
