Boatmurdered recognised in Diablo 3/LoTR discussion.
« on: May 24, 2012, 09:44:09 am »
Not sure if it's been posted before, and wasn't sure if it would go in this forum, but was playing D3 and found this epic reference to Boatmurdered on the auction house. No way it's not a reference =P

Didn't have any use for it, wasn't an upgrade, but I just had to buy it after reading the text on it. Anyone familiar with BM should remember how it ended and recognise it.

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)

Saw it before, but it's still awesome.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

Honestly, if anything, it should give an Intelligence penalty.
This is Dwarf Fortress we're talking about. There isn't a fortress that is not doomed in some way by dwarven stupidity.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Obsidian axe!? Pff, everybody knows that 1) there are no obsidian axes in Dwarf Fortress and 2) Sankis killed with his burning fists.
Also, what is up with those stats? I propose a better item:
               THE BURNING BEARD OF SANKIS

  Legendary Beard                                                        1-Head
  31.8
  Damage Per Second
  17-32 Damage
  1.30 Attacks per Second
  • +12-16 Fire Damage
  • Adds 50% to Fire Damage
  • -15 Intelligence
  • Each Second Adds -13 Life
The ever-burning beard of the mad dwarf Sankis as he turned on
his own dwarfs inside their fortress. Even as he burned to death
himself, he would not stop his attacks on those he had once ruled.
                                                                   Unique Equipped
                                                                Required Level: 22
Sell Value: Gift for the Elves                               Durability: 2/31

Perhaps Sankis forged one in the burning embers of his mighty beard, but it fell through- Screw it, a burning beard would be awesome.

You missed one bit:
3) Sankis was female. See here for proof.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

Lol. Someone should go post that as a comment on the weapon. I tried, but it won't let me since I don't own the game :p

Good point, but wasn't the player themselves male?

edit: Also while there are no obsidian axes, there are indeed obsidian swords.

That only matters if the player was the one lit on fire while beating people to death ;)

Looked up the part with the rampage, even if the dwarf itself was female, people are referring to it as a "he".

"That only matters if the player was the one lit on fire while beating people to death "
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened irl at some point, some sanity had to have been lost over the life of that fort =P
