Do I see the very beginning of a tantrum spiral ?

And it's all that she-demon's fault.

No, it's because I left a rotten chunk of giant eagle meat in the meeting hall.  My bad

Where have you found a giant eagle ? I haven't seen one since v0.31.25

[WillowLuman]

Don't worry, I'll make crafts and Fen will make engravings to immortalize the following events.

Also we ought to contact monk12 and bring him into this.

Together, we will ensure the entire world will know of the tantrum spiralling of our fortress! And they'll have such lovely commemorative knick-knacks, toys, and figurines to take home.

The elves recently brought me one in the caravan in my fortress..... I've been hoping to get a pair.... I turned the savagery way up to the point where dwarves are nearly extinct. The elves constantly bring giant creatures in.  So far I have breeding pops of giant lions and giant dingos. They've brought a giant bark scorpion, a couple female giant ostritches, lots of mismatched giant parrots of different types, and even some giant hamsters in addition to the giant eagle.

Should I be concerned that I won't get a mating set?

[saltmummy626]

well this thread seems to have gotten way way out of hand eh? 6 days and already another 50+ pages? I should really pay more attention to threads like these...

I think the coming spiral can be averted with a liberal application of scorpion and magma. would someone like to get the lever while I release the "children?"

[wierd]

Careful, kodkod's in charge of the scorpion pit, and she doesn't like strangers messing with her charges.

If you go in there, she might just lock the door.

[Splint]

Between going to a meeting I didn't want to go to and sleeping 6 measly hours you bastards left me out of the loop! Also I am fully against caver exploration until you're positive none of us have to go down there (send the dwarves, they can probably take a mauling better than the majority of us.)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh no, no; nothing so crass. Revenge is a dish best served ice cold, Mister MetalHead. When you get what's coming to you, you will have long since forgotten this converation, it will be a vauge, distant memory of a time long since passed.

But I won't forget, no, no, I never forget. I have the names of every single person who has ever crossed me carved, with all the malice I can muster, into a little black book of grudges so that I can never forgot the wrongs that have been dealt me. And every so often, as time slowly marches on, someone's turn will come up. They won't know why, having long since moved on like any non-psychotic human being, but I will turn their life on its head and make them suffer thousand-fold for every injustice paid to me; perhaps all at once, or perhaps a thousand tiny needles draining them dry.

Then, when the pit of despair can be dug no deeper, who will show up but KodKod to lend a helping hand and get them back on their feet. For why should they suffer but once when I can build them back up to fall again, and again, and again, for so long as my insatiable need to break human beings keeps dragging me ominously forward like the creeping veil of night covering the world as the sun breathes its last and dips over the horizon.

I am Nemesis.

*reads through black book*

Hey, when do the pages NOT filled with "Oliolli" start?

Whenever a hand cramp stepped in and "Oliolli" was impossible to write.

If the Bay12 forum were a mountain hall, we'd need some serious quantity of booze to keep everyone drunk and happy to avoid the fruitless conversations we tend to get into...

But those are the BEST conversations! What good is living a life in DF if you can't contemplate imaginary doom-bringing giant sky whales fighting armies of theoretical demons?

Our fortress needs a "tablet of raw editing", which "contains the secrets of the whole universe" in it!

Imagine the knockdown drag-outs that would ensue should somebody mention "oompa loopmas", with a chisel in hand!

"No! New creatures require a new world-gen! You idiot!"
"Stop him before he causes the world to crash!"
Etc...

LOL!

Raw editing?
*cracks neck dramatically*
Stand aside.  Stuff's about to get [MAT_FIXED_TEMP:300000].

[Loud Whispers]

The only affection displayed by THIS community will be violence and passionate bloodletting.

Exactly! People love each other that much more when their lives are in their hands... Or being threatened by them. Stockholm syndrome isn't pretty, but it happens.

Raw editing?

Ah... Good things will come of this.

What's stopping us from invading other worlds? Creating our own worlds?

WE WOULD BECOME GODS.

Very, very killable Gods.

With fluffballs. Still counts.

[KodKod]

There's no chance of kodkod having the capacity to develope feelings for anyone, or anyone else to kodkod. The only affection displayed by THIS community will be violence and passionate bloodletting.

Neither of you comprehend the disgust that is the accusation of physical attraction outside your orientation.

Quite true, the only emotion I possess is a churning, tempestuous rage.

Careful, kodkod's in charge of the scorpion pit, and she doesn't like strangers messing with her charges.
If you go in there, she might just lock the door.

I'm only going to say it once, people had best stay away from my children. They don't like it when anyone but their mama approaches them, and they have a tendancy to lash out.

[Kibstable]

I'm not allowed to assign anyone jobs that they didn't specifically request in this thread. As a result, we have almost no woodcutters, tanners, architects, and some others.

I expected (like many dwarves) to get a job I didn't want.
I didn't want to say what my skills were, In reality I'm trained in sylvicultural management (planting and looking after trees - including thinning and clearfell harvesting) but I'm not all elf, I have recent experience in developing a small hydro electric station. Also skills in sheep and cattle herding, and adequate level of skill in dry-stone-dyke (wall) building.

I rarely need alcohol to get through the working day.

If I ever ended as a dorf in a mountain hall with the rest of the bay12 community...well, I'd grab a pick, dig a hole in hidden map spot, and after closing it with a wall to avoid others coming in, would live the rest of my live through plump helmet farming and brewing the stuff, and i'd hope the nightmare to end soon.

[Gizogin]

Regarding labors and such; what would mechanical engineering fall under?  Obviously mechanics, but since a large part of it is design and efficiency and stuff, I think architecture would fall under it as well, at least the way that DF defines it.  Basically, if you need another mechanic/architect, I'm available. 

Then again, I'm the CMD, despite knowing very little about modern medicine in real life.  I can do first aid and CPR and stuff (thanks to the BSA; I have First Aid, Emergency Preparedness, and Lifesaving Merit Badges), but that and some half-remembered stuff from random wiki walks are about the extent of my actual medical knowledge.

Regardless, I'm not going to stop being the CMD.  Don't try to take the position from me, either; I've been studying martial arts for the past twelve years.  Also, I'll remove your [BP:LUNGS].

[Talvieno]

Thanks, Gizogin, for volunteering. I think I'm going to start playing through the next bit now, after editing the raws a bit to reflect things discussed the thread. This'll be interesting.
