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.

Maybe give Talvi time to finish his story, just in case we die.

Noooooooo. Will not happen. I'm not going to be the cause of Spearbreakers not getting updated for a few months. >.> Seriously, I have a lot left to do. Even if I end the story at the end of the Parasol arc (which still leaves Joseph on the loose) you're looking at another 10 chapters or so.

I don't mind reading another 10 chapters, I quite like these kind of stories.

...what about another thirty? :\ Thanks for the encouragement, though.

@Talvieno

If, as I recall, Vanya's journals are told in the style of a noarrator reading a history book, then it won't matter when you finish, the end result is the same. We could conquer Hell now and you could still be writing about Vanya's arrival.

This is true. The narrator wasn't originally a narrator, it was just a piece of text at the beginning of each chapter to allow me to describe the journal. Now that he's a narrator reading Vanya's journals in the future, I can technically end the story whenever I want... but Vanya's story itself can't go much farther than the end of Spearbreakers.

On the plus side, when Vanya gets back to Spearbreakers, she'll be a lot tougher emotionally/mentally than when she left... I imagine she'll want to take part in its defense, and I look forwards to writing about the first dwarf/elf battle. That would produce a lot of internal conflict, I would think... She dislikes her own kind because of the bad name they give her, but at the same time, she'd feel like she was betraying them... But then, she wants to defend Spearbreakers... but then again, she doesn't want to kill anyone. Joseph's doing the same thing with her right now - toying with her mind. I think he might actually derive a perverse sort of pleasure from watching it, as the most use she can actually be to him is a pawn.

I think if to comes down to her home and frends and her own bigoted species, I think she'll choose home. After all, HOME! It's where the heart issss! Yeah i know not what i do, ignore that.

[Talvieno]

She would. lol   She'd just be conflicted about it. She's a dwarf at heart, after all.

late edit: Meh.
That best sums up my current mood, I think.

[Rocknlol]

Could I be dwarfed as Rocknlol?

[Splint]

Absolutely! We have many available dwarves who've I've yet to give a nickname (For ease of identification, though some won't receive them, such as Uvash.) Anything specific job-wise? Gender?

[Rocknlol]

I'd prefer an engraver, a male if that's available.

[Splint]

Well we seem to have a very large number of assitant engravers. Honestly i think at this point Mr Frog or Talvi should be the head of an engraver's guild because those two are among the most prolific engravers in the fort. I'll get you set up with a male. We have plenty.

Have a nice day!

Can I repost to get a turn?

[Splint]

You sure you'll be able to take it when mine ends?

EDIT: Ok, sorry about the lack of updates boys and girls. I promise I'll get one out either late tonight or tomorrow. Been working on other stuff.

And seriously, Do you have any specific requests for something Talvieno?

Awesome! Hopefully I can start my story, soon. I could have started now, but I want to at least work with what my dwarf was described as in-game.

[Splint]

I'll post your dwarf's description if you like, but we just kinda stuff it and make them up on the fly (Every dwarf I've drawn has been improvised though.)

Sure, go for it! If I don't like something I might as well omit it for the love of the story.

[zacen299]

Question are only the leaders of the military squads named or is the entire military named?

[Splint]

Simply to avoid confusion I assign everyone nicknames. However a good chunk of the army is actually manned by player owned dorfs, excluding the civil defense corpse which is just the civilian boltspam force intended to thin out the enemy or slow them down as needed.
