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.

Sorry about that. I was juggling a bunch of deffering tasks, one involving school, one ponies, and one a drawing of a soldier.

[Talvieno]

Aw, I missed a tinychat session? curse my ruined laptop. You guys stay up too late.

saw that beautiful female tackle the spawn

I screamed and sprinted at Lantern-jaw, throwing my full weight at him in a flying leap.

Now things are interesting indeed. 

Other than that slight continuity problem - which should be easily fixed - it was brilliant. I think you got Vanya's character almost perfectly, and the addition of Splint's Talvi-Trapomatic was excellently executed.   Bravo, bravo.

The scary thing is most of the individual stories are pretty short save for those of Talvieno, who seems to be able to smash out novella-length tales on demand

I am sigging this. It reinflates my possibly already oversized ego. EDIT: that wasn't meant as a compliment, was it...
By the way,

I now call you Talvi because your consternation amuses me. Plus I'm trying to see how long it takes for it to stop bothering you

Yay, you stopped.

Continuing to read up on what I missed.

CONTINUED:
Not sure what I think of Mr Frog's inclusion of ThatWhichIThoughtWasNotSupposedToBeNamedInThisThread, but I especially liked this little bit:

... [Mr Frog] would love to dissect one sometime.

I suppose it goes somewhat with my suggestion that Eris' symbol be one, but still. I challenged the DFForums pony thread to convert me a while back (before yet another thread was locked by Toady). They gave me one episode to watch that they all agreed ought to do it - something about a yellow one being spineless through the majority of the episode before her personality abruptly changed without clear reason so she could rant at a dragon. Conversion incomplete, needless to say.
Might we just call them extraterrestrials?

Unrelated:
Wait, did I miss more than one tinychat session?

And finally, great work on the TVTropes page, Mr Frog. Looks a lot neater now.

@Talvi:

herp derp nothing to see here

Also... yeah, it was more of a neutral comment than a word of praise. Take it as you will.

@Splint:

Are we gonna get a proper version number in the thread title yet? Also, when's PBT coming back? I'm getting antsy.

E: Quibbling over You-Know-What removed.

[Splint]

Dunno. He probably had some sudden crap to deal with. He did say his turn was almost over though so he ay just be taking a breather.

And fuck it, I am assuming this has been fully updated. And I still say whiever one of you assholes did it I'll go out of my way to kill you.

And finally, I know what seems to best exemplify this place story wise. Our dwarves have been sent through such a veritable gauntlet of sheer horeshit in such a short amount of time that they probably see the greatest threat to dwarven kind as little more than an annoying roach infestation.

Simply living here has conditioned them to accept it.

And Paintbrush, when was the last zombie killed? I'm going to do a short story of it being declared a national holiday.

[Mr Frog]

Maybe add the tropes to the article instead of here? That's where they need to be.

[Splint]

I've no clue where to go with that. Besides you seem to have a far greater understanding of it than me.

Sad I know.

Story to come at some point today.

[Mr Frog]

Okay, okay, I suppose this traumatized old veteran can micromanage the fuck out of one more article :V

[Splint]

Thanks man. Much appreciated.

And you wonder why your character has so many interpretations?

[Aseaheru]

wow.

about the first timewar one, i thought WP were smoke.... nevermind. im idiotic.

[Splint]

Nope, White Phosphorus here was used for incindiary weapons. Sot of falls under the "Nothing quite says "fuck you" like an x" type things, in this case it was "A can of fiery death being shoved down your throat."

[Xahnel]

So, i started reading last night, and i'm on page 195. I gotta say, so far i've laughed myself almost to death dozens of times, and i'm finding myself hoping this place doesn't collapse before i finish. If i can get caught up in time, i think i'd wanna start posting journals. No promises, but you guys are living up to your hopes of being an excellent fortress.

[Splint]

Glad we could make youlaugh.

This may be a dismal depressing hell hole, but we like it that way!

[Mr Frog]

And you wonder why your character has so many interpretations?

I've decided that it's because he doesn't really display a well-defined, comprehensive psychological profile, which means other authours are forced to fill in the blanks with what they think his traits are. Since everyone fills in the blanks differently, the result is a new characterization for each authour.

I had written an essay-length treatise on how tropes influence his various depictions, but decided not to post it as the sheer amount of pretention made me gag.

[Splint]

Is that some impressive feat or something for you?

[Mr Frog]

...This sounds angry, and I'm not sure why.
