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.

Fifteen days... Oh, joy.  Splint, what have you done by starting such a monstrous tale?
Seriously, though, is this the Boatmurdered of 2012? Even if not, I don't think there's anything quite like it.

In the middle of page 21 now, filesize 6.7 MB. This is going to be a pain to upload somewhere, and I can't remember what my mediafire limit is (it's a free account).

I think putting the sidestories into separate documents is a great idea - go for it. Several of them are long enough to merit it, and it'd help cut down the reading difficulty. I still need to update the story archive post, though - haven't done it in about a week.


EDIT: Here's what I have so far. I spent all my time this morning on it. Didn't even get a chance to reply to PMs. Or write. (to those I needed to reply to, I apologize. I'll get to it soon.)

reedit: typos.

[Splint]

If it can't earn that title, with all of the criscrossing nightmarish hell of continuity snarls and people randomly stuffing thier heads in magma smelters, I will be VERY disappoint.

Also: I think we may need to adapt many a chuck norris joke to Col. Fischer Jokes.

[Xahnel]

Superdorf, AKA Colonel Fischer Norris: Chuck Norris' illegitimate Kryptonian dorf baby.
I like it, it's got a ring to it.

[Talvieno]

Those three jokes/facts I posted were really just adapted Chuck Norris jokes... And they fit. Fischer is the dwarven Chuck Norris, and I'd bet she could easily spear his roundhouse-kicking hide.

So, splint, Word tells me you sometimes don't spellcheck. ;P

Specifically, interim.

[Splint]

Shut up. Typos happen.

[Aseaheru]

do you know what i noticed? these dwarves make Omaha beach look like candyland.

Lol, I've corrected that one a lot.
We're just kidding around, Splint - your in-character updates are more than worth any minor inconveniences.

[Splint]

I am a generally distempered person when it comes to typos. Not grammar nazi bad, but still. When I miss things I get annoyed.

[Xahnel]

Then you should be annoyed to know that the total typo count easily topped 300, not counting words and names I had to force the computer to add to the dictionary for each different form, and grammar where the computer only thought it was right. Took me ten minutes to correct them all.

Word is your freind, my freind.

SPLINT'S EVERYTHING SO FAR
If you have a specific font you want for your entries, tell me, otherwise I'll just pick what matches you best in my brain.
Splint seemed a Rockwell typefont.

Next: Tavlieno

I hope those were intentional.

I'm currently at page 35. Not as bad as I'd feared; I'm making slow, but steady progress. I just re-found this little gem:

Wait. Crap. I just realized something:

Spoiler: DON'T PANIC (click to show/hide)

Necromancers get their zombies from the deceased populations of whatever inhabited sites and battlefields happen to be nearby.

Spawn tend to die in battlefields a lot, and conquered Spawn integrating into other civs' populations is far from unheard-of.

Also, due to a certain screw-up with the raws, Spawn are valid targets for reanimation. In both fortress mode and worldgen.

What I'm basically trying to say here is that if a necromancer shows up with an entourage of 200 zombie Spawn at some point in the near future I won't be even slightly surprised.

[Xahnel]

Wait, just what are you doing? Going page by page? I thought you were just copying the overseer's updates...

[Talvieno]

I'm getting it into a format anyone could read, if they really wanted to read the whole thing. I'm basically taking out all the derails (and most of the random chatter) and rearranging the story posts so that they're chronologically correct.

Since overseer entries are so closely tied to story entries, and vice versa, it's the only thing I could think of doing, if I didn't want to have to explain huge quantities of missing details myself (plus, I'd have trouble catching them all).



...what are we going to do if we get an overseer who refuses to write in canon?

[Splint]

Worst come to worst we'll have to write it in such a manner for him.

[Xahnel]

Apply Fischer's pike to their skull?
