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

55 (71.4%)

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

17 (22.1%)

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

Try not to pervade upon the other three organisations.

There are four. Parasol, Ballpoint, Eris, and Stone Inc., in order of conception.

Also, perhaps we should memetize Dauros in the same way we did with Fischer.

Then again, is that even possible?

[Aseaheru]

Yay! someone remembered me and the hills of images I still cant find a working scanner for! Or the images themselves at this point!

[Lolfail0009]

Asea, there is a wonderful thing called a Digital Camera. Try it out

It is not. You can't force a meme, Tal. Fischer got to where she is today by, among other things, sticking her head into the Spawn Hive King's head and biting his teeth out while bears bounced off of her. She inspired us to love and fear her. Dauros must forge his own awesomeness. SPLINT! What has Dauros accomplished?

[Lolfail0009]

He kicked a Spawn's hand off.

[Splint]

He kicked a Spawn's hand off.

I gotta give him that. I've never seen a current release dwarf pull that off before or since.

[Mr Frog]

Gonna agree with Xahnel here (I'll give y'all a moment to pick yourselves up off the floor). I think forcing a meme is by its very nature nigh-on-impossible. Memes start and propagate (I think) when something makes some sort of strong impression on the audience, that makes them want to repeat the idea to others (or something). If an impression has been made, the meme starts on its own; otherwise, no amount of conscious repetition can force the process along, except possibly by causing a meta-meme along the lines of 'Milhouse Is Not A Meme', or by consciously establishing the forced meme as a 'secret handshake' of sorts (which I feel is dysfunctional behaviour).

Also: assuming that anyone cares, I haven't abandoned y'all or anything. I've been busy with CraftedDreams (which y'all should probably check out, by the way), and there hasn't been much for me to add in any case.

[Splint]

We'll put it to a vote on what to do. Awl, Skitara, and Dauros all clearly have luck keeping them alive and not stricken by perma-drowsiness, so wat do?

[Reudh]

Those three are easily the most skilled in the fort, but Dauros has a lot going for him as junior Badass. I agree with it being impossible to force memes, unless as Froggie said the idea of a forced meme propagates memetically itself.

Fischer's never kicked a piece off a spawn besides its teeth, a significantly easier achievement. Dauros on my last save was equally as fast as Fischer, presumably starting with a higher agility and being more encumbered by armor, as Splint says.

He's not quite as strong; he has bisected Spawn, but then again so has Jack, Fischer, Awl, Skitaro, Niccolo, PBT and a few others.

[Splint]

You can't really count the axedwarves for bisection trophy, or Jack in any incarnation as even his sword has a higher likelihood of cutting things in half. Their weapons are pretty much designed for that.

Honestly it's largely a question of what will be done, as he has seniority over over all the other surviving soldiers by virtue of time served and managing to not die or be horribly injured/crippled by random sleep sickness.

[Reudh]

Yeah, true enough. Would you care to write an official 'resignation' of Fischer? Or I could, if you wanted, if it does end up that Fischer has to step down. She'd have to stay as puppet/shadow MCom because story wise, no matter the strength of her replacement, when they hear that the tantamount-God of war has 'died'/left her position, then Spearbreakers will be at vastly greater risk of siege, in canon.

Also I've been musing on ideas and I'll pm some of them to you if you like.

[Splint]

Sure thing, I got time.

And I did have something in mind actually for a resignation of sorts.
