I think we've lost images from the past.

Wow. This is the only turn of events in a forum game, to make me feel an emotion other than mirth. This is the only forum game, to make me feel sad. Bay12, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

WOW. I leave you 5 minutes (okay, maybe more), and this story went from "light hearted" to "FFFFFFUUUUUU-ING GRIMDARK"...
wow. just wow. ^100

We took the dying anguish of every dwarf you ever caused and unleash it in a unassuming forum game.

Introduce yourself and try to force a smile

Say thank you.

This. It may be a good idea to warn bee-lady that THERE IS A GIANT FUCKING WORM MONSTER ABOUT TO MURDER-FUCK OUR ASSES.

Naw. Too much of a touchy subject.

Open the door we came through, walk away in a random direction. Let the compugirl deal with Riltia.

Where are we? Who are you?

You run up and throw your arms around Proxxy.

Oh dear, this isn't good. If FFS runs forum games like I do, then he probably doesn't have originals on his hard drive anymore. The worst part about this all is that FFS doesn't even know about this. I can only imagine his face when he finds out.

So much for archiving this when it gets finished. I hate that feeling you get when you witness something spectacular and then realizing that people in the future will never be able to see it. I know I should be glad that I was lucky enough to see it before it was gone, but damm I just can't.

A brief random sampling suggests that only some images from 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 have been lost; for obvious reasons I have not done a visual inspection of every update, but I didn't notice anything in a few random links from other chapters, nor from posts immediately preceding or succeeding those. In other words, right now the damage stands at 2 posts out of ~702 (or 0.0028%)

Of course, it may be prudent to archive what we have before any more old images go missing. I'd suggest archiving Parts or Acts as they conclude, then merging them into one big archive when the thread is completed.

yha someone start archiveing stat!

when ffs gets back he can fix things up

[NAV]

Quickly archive the twoota before we loose more!
And someone create crappy mspaint recreations of the lost images.

On it!



Arguably I should have tried to figure out what the image was first.

Meh, close enough. 

[freeformschooler]

Guys calm down. The only missing images are some reaction images I'd stolen from elsewhere on the Internet. That could be confusing on a first read-through but the game is all still here.

[endlessblaze]

so?

we still need to archive as we go along

Imgur doesn't delete pro members' images, I think.

IIRC, one forumite, possibly Cinder, had a bunch of TWoOTA images saved. Can't remember though.

[hops]

Not me. Good idea, though.

[Baffler]

I just read that whole archive.

It was really good, and I'd do it again, but can someone tell me what year it is?

(PTW.)

[hops]

Welcome to year 2050. Have your complementary psychic cat.

hey guys just finished my readthrough
fixed the images inside spoiler. just view image > change image name in the url to fix the broken images
they should probably be edited in the original posts after being reuploaded to imgur, seeing as the postimg images are the only broken ones.

also, got a couple of theories of my own, which i'll talk about in a bigger post later
the main thing you guys seem to be missing is that riltia's sin is envy. she's jealous of the rest of the party and isn't likely to give up her chance to be the AI-selected character so easily. she's even jealous of ciro praising goombess!

riltia is nearly always put down/insulted, even by ffs in meta, (remember him saying she was the least interesting character a while back?)
dunno why some of you were thinking the soul stars were corrupted. why not have us, the spirits, compliment her battle prowess or something instead of questioning her every action. if she feels equal in value to the rest of the party, maybe she'll cut the delusions.
