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.

I've been wanting to post to get a dwarf, but it always feels like I’m interrupting something.

[Mr Frog]

You aren't. We may be a bunch of nutjobs writing grimdark fanfiction about a gore-splattered hole in the ground full of mutants and madmen, but we're always happy to induct new acolytes into our little cult.

EDIT: I think this is the third time I've been sigged since I started posting in this board. IT'S SO NICE TO SEE THE PEONS FINALLY RECOGNIZING MY GREATNESS MUHAHAHA I'm flattered, really.

EDIT ll, because I kind of missed the point the first time: Yeah, we seem to yammer on a lot between updates... we aren't exactly an exclusive club, though :p  As long as you're at least following the conversation, there's no harm in putting your two cents in. There's definitely no harm in asking for a dorfing request We don't bite. We leave the biting to the Spawn.

@ llasram - Any specifics? gender, profession... If not, then you'll probably be defaulted into the army.

@ Mr Frog - Added a note at the end that you're post on the main page will be holding stories, quotes, etc. until Talvieno returns to us.

And yes, we do throw alot of idle chatter around, but it's to kill time and keep the thread happy and active.

[llasram]

Male for gender, and a Miner if one is available. Everything else I can work around.

I would recommend, if you want it dorfy, face it with nothing but mugs catapulted at the demons.

[Mr Frog]

@tahujdt:

Alternatively, we could divert the demons to the surface and let the Spawn kill them for us. It's the Spearbreakers way!


@Splint:

Maybe point them directly to my post in the note? It's a bit silly, but I can easily imagine someone not making the connection and getting confused 'cuz you didn't say where to look :\  NEVER understimate stoopid.

Spawn kill demons, or demons kill spawn. Spearbreakers equivalent of a win-win!

[Paintbrushturkey]

i propose to build holding cells for the demons, let one out per siege/spawn attack 

[Hanslanda]

Mr Frog, I love the titles you put on my little story. They're hilarious. 

@Paintbrushturkey: Mechanics of trapping the demons? I'm curious how we'd seperate and enclose the demons so we could selectively release one at a time.

Floors block demons. Cave-ins destroy floors. Magma and water make obsidian which can cave-in to destroy floors. I'm sure one can jimmy something out of that.

Good day, sir.  You called? *tips hat*

Or someone could just modify some handsome man's guide on catching demons.

ThatAussieGuy, making demons his bitch with style since .31. I feel like you're a superhero or something, but then again, you're from Australia, so that's to be expected.

[Mr Frog]

...Why is it that every good idea I have has always already been done by someone 500 times sexier?

EDIT: I was just trying to be funny, but holy mother of waffles is that creepy :V

Oh, I already worked out a partial improvement to your design, Mitch.

Here's a basic side-on diagram


         WWWWBffffffffffffBWBffffff
         WfffffffXffffffW    rfffr
         WfffffffXffffffW
         WfffffffXffffffW
         WfffffffXffffffW
         WfffffffXffffffW
    %%FSSSSXSSSSF%%
MM     WffffffXfffffffW    wwww
         WffffffBfffffffW
                  H


W = wall
f = floor
X = up/down staircase
%% = screwpump
w = water
M = magma
H = HFS
h = channeled space
r = ramp
B = Bridge (retracting)


Essentially;

Breach Hell and the demons will fly up into the tower.  Once they all fill the upper levels of it, close the retractable bridge on the bottom level and pour magma and water to obsidianze them into the trap.  From there, wait till they 'settle' and switch back to their wandering pattern before finally opening the retractable bridge on the upper level to let one into the tunnel.  When it enters the 'outer' trap, you can do with it as you wish (kill it through fortifications for being the wrong type, divert it to where you want it to go, whatever you wish)
