Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

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

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

How messy was the fort at its end? Worse than before the great cleaning?

Excluding the combined Spawn and Zombie attack, I managed to keep it mostly tidy thanks to our population excess, at least until the clusterfuck on 18th Felsite.

Woke up 2:34 in the morning with this in my head:


My little children of innocence

You've fallen astray of tales

Which shadows fear the light

And all is good and well



Let me tell you stories around the fire tonight

Of things, so cruel and dark

Which don't fear the light

Nor the courageous soul



Undead Hordes walk the lands

Reaping lives into their horde

But even they fear the rumour,

The shadow over even them



Do you hear the whispers in the deep

The Holistic come, as they always say

Corrupting body and trapping soul

Bringing doom upon your Dwarven Mountainhome



But there is a greater horror I fear

The Manamaids have come

Busting a "sexy" move

Which will make your eyes bleed


But worse still there is to come

For worse is the Medicare

For the horrors within The Hospital

Are from which you'll never recover


It's a start.

I misinterpreted 'It's a start' as part of the poem, and it worked so well.

[Aseaheru]

Nice poem...


If the "It's a start" was part of the poem it would be better off as "For a start". Makes a tad more sense.

In other news, I dont think I have posted this, and it is very old.

Spoiler: The First Story of the Wall of All. Yes, you read that right. (click to show/hide)

Far down in the hall there was a wall.
This wall had the story of All.
And within this story of All,
Was a story of Thrall.

Defeated by the Breakers of Spears,
Distrusting Elvin ears,
Were the Spawn.

Throughout the years,
They fought those spears.
And died horribly.

Fire, siege and death,
Never stopped their breath,
Those noble Dwarves.

And although some lives grew dim,
They never let Them in,
To kill the dwarves of All.

These Dwarves fought hard, they fought well.
They even defeated Hell!
But once they fought too much.
The wizards of tomorrow,
With much sorrow,
Defeated those Dwarves of old.

And although they killed ‘em,
We still defeated them.
Helped by the Breakers of Spears.

Is bad, yes?

[TalonisWolf]

It has a more Dwarven feel- rough around the edges in a way which makes the poem feel darker and colder.

I like it!

[Aseaheru]

Its nowhere as bad as the second one...

That one mostly seems to be about at thrall...
And I had only completed one paragraph at the time...

[TalonisWolf]

Err... I was talking about the second one.

[Aseaheru]

of mine. I havent posted it yet. Hopefully never will.

  School has started, but the Project is bigger than the scanner. Opps.

  Any advice (other than find a bigger scanner)? Taking a photo, sadly, won't work. I tried, and it was horrible.

 I drew something else, and will try to put it on (at least it's the right size). However, before I do, I'm going to give you something to keep you active.

 The "something else" is based off a quote one of you made. Everyone gets three guesses at what it is, whoever wins gets to choose whose dorf room I draw next after I finish Mr Frog's room (I split it into two seperate parts to do it justice).

  "Mr Frog's" is the right possessive, right?

[Cynm]

If your image is a physical piece of paper slice it up, scan each part indavidually, then stitch it back together in Photoshop or gimp.

[TalonisWolf]

Why didn't I think of that?   

Thank You, Cymn. I "should" have it up tomorrow, if nothing happens...

Edit: Scanner only does Microsoft Word Docs... but maybe Public Library has one? I'll try that next time I get a chance, but that could be anytime from tomorrow to the next long weekend.

Man, do I feel like I'm letting you folks down. Sorry!

[Mr Frog]

@Talonis:

As the only person who's been doing anything, period, I don't think you have to apologise for letting anyone down.

[Lolfail0009]

So I may have found the best theme song for the fortress.

Note: Above link contains anime. Click it at your own risk

[TalonisWolf]

The lyrics look amazing, I regret I can't listen to it (not Ipad compatible audio clip in wiki you provided, sad face)

While I'm at it, has anyone guessed what quote I used in that little contest yet? Hehehe...

Edit: Hint: It's one of Tavieno's quotes. Oh, and it is (obviously, but covering my bases here) on this thread.
