No, no, I get that terrible terrible things happen to every Battlefailed fort. I did read the entirety of Battlefailed and Failcannon. It's just that no one is doing the updates well. I used to think I was the absolute master of low-content succession fort posts (horrible horrible screencapture problems did not help) but my posts for a year could generally total like two pages double-spaced counting season headers.

That's not the Battlefailed curse. The Battlefailed curse is real life rising up to devour the current overseer before he or she completes their turn.

In my defense, nothing happened during my turn. Mostly because I played it safe and just tried to keep everyone we currently had alive and happy. I was quite successful in that respect.

I'm fairly certain that should be renamed the Swordthunders curse.  We've physically LOST an overseer somewhere.

Another reason for me to read swordthunders, I guess.

Also, Sinpwn: Is the fort running without major problems?

... Now that I think about it, we probably should be ready for errors like those that happened with Hellcannon during The Master's turn.

It's the reclaim of Swordthunders that had been eating people. Also Battlefailed did it first.

Regarding the errors, where's that Nemesis picture I had?

Anyways, could one of you overseers give us a proper succession fort update? I never thought I'd say this, but if I had the time I could do better updates than any of you have managed. Which is saying something, if you look at my previous succession fort attempts.

Hey newcomer.  Welcome to the Battlefailed saga.

It's not that you aren't welcome here, but please contribute something before complaining.  It's not the best way to introduce yourself.

I dunno... he has a point. With most succession games, I have a pretty good image in my head of the fort's structure by this point, which helps give context to the journals. Not here, though. There really needs to be more screencaps.

And yes, I'm aware that I probably fall under the 'newcomer' heading as well. Please don't hurt me.

You probably could have put it more politely, though... saying 'I could do better' does not leave a good impression. No harm done, though, I should think

Yeah, this is the hornets nest I was prodding at earlier. I hope the next overseer provides a couple screencaptures.
Also, I was thinking of doing a bit of posthumous journal-based RP-ing. Not now, but later. Is that okay?

Eric wrote on the fabric of reality itself during Hellcannon, and tore it several times. I think posthumous journals are perfectly acceptable.

That was Gizogin. I did no such thing!

No, don't!  I need test subjects for my Demister project.  If I can actually collect a cloud of nefarious mist, that is.

Yeah, in hindsight that comes off as much more like a smug jerk than intended.

See, I used myself as a point of comparison because I am honestly embarrassed by the low quality of my overseer posts. I was not kidding about totaling two pages double-spaced. For an entire year, with few to no pictures. I would prefer much, much better posts than I can manage, but would have felt kind of hypocritical demanding that.

No don't. I like living.

Good, because there's a chance you'll survive.

Even if there's no screencaps, it's important for the overseers to let everyone else know what's going on, and that doesn't seem to be happening as much as it really should.

I somewhat agree with this, even though there are few things more entertaining than seeing someone's reaction to the various "surprises" we tend to leave for each other.

[Mr Frog]

Well, the big thing about screencaps is that they're probably the most efficient way of building an image of the fortress's layout. A single screencap can quickly establish where something is in relation to other things in the fort.

Granted, I'm willing to bet that the entirety of Chateau Horrorfailed consists of a festering hole in the dirt strewn with corpses in various states of unlife, and you can't screencap infrastructure that hasn't been built.
