EXCEPT IT WASN'T YOU LIAR

[LordSlowpoke]

i thought we were above being jealous of the first post here

i mean yours is about vampires, fair and well to that it's a pretty nice first post but ominous warnings? these are the best I ADMIT NOTHING

[penguinofhonor]

From the other thread:

I think this one's my first post.

I like it, but I don't want to have to bail out my fortress or put a roof on it... I guess grates would work... But they are a bit of trouble. I guess I'll have to deal with it.

[Putnam]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you use TRAILING_DUST_FLOW as a sort of "Fus-Ro-Da" type attack?

Code: [Select]

[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:TRAILING_DUST_FLOW]
  [CDI:ADV_NAME:FUS-RO-DA]
  [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
  [CDI:BP_REQUIRED:BY_CATEGORY:MOUTH]
  [CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
  [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:15]
  [CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
  [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:50]Also, would I need to define a material for this to work properly?

This was from when I was still struggling with modding. I gave up soon after.

There was a disturbing lack of me back then in that topic

To be a part of the world's history! I brought the world out of the Age of the Hydra and Forest Titan once, and it was the best feeling ever!

MY ENTHUSIASM IS OVERWHELMING

especially for something so hilariously minor

Also, 2 of my first four posts were new topics. Good god.

And some of my earliest posts (first 400) were from the DFTerm posts. Huh.

[Tylui]

Evidently the posts are out of chronological order from before the new forum merge. Probably due to the way the IDs were generated when parsing through the old forum data. Anyway, this is the oldest one I could find of mine.

How WEIRD!  I just had to do this also...  And indeed, it didn't work when converting .png to 24-bit bmp, but it worked fine when copying it over and replacing the contents within MSPaint.<P>I ran fc through the cmd, and it  gave this message:  "Resync failed.  Files are too different."<P>
And look at <I>that</I>!  The file sizes are even different.  How awkward...<p>[ March 03, 2007: Message edited by: Tylui ]

I can't even remember what the old forums looked like :O

[misko27]

Every time I see my old posts I want to edit them all. Some of them are barely readable. Others contain too much information and must be redacted.

I think I'm going to do that soon. Some point when I have free time. A lot of free time.

I just realized (after years of playing DF) that you can designate digging areas over multiple z-levels by simply selecting the starting tile on the first z-level, going down the wished number of levels and then selecting the ending tile on the last level.

All the precious time wasted by stoicly designating stairs, going down a level, designating stairs, going down a level, etc like a robot. I always knew about the macro stuff, but never bothered to use it... but this, boy I feel like a caveman who miraculously got his hands on a futuristic fusion self-powered jackhammer and then used it like a deformed pickaxe to smash stone.

Actually, that's new as of the last major version IIRC 

You can!?! PRAISE THE MINERS!

That saved me so much damn time. So, much, time.

Even today. So, much, time.

[Baffler]

Nothing interesting here, just a very boring:

PTW.

Followed by an equally underwhelming:

Yeah, he's pretty much stuck in Russia. The only people who seem to be willing to accept him don't seem to have the resources to get him. And the will to move him out is basically nonexistent in the countries that could, because they don't want to piss off the United States. It should be interesting to see what the Russians ultimately decide on, but I have a feeling all this won't end well for Snowden, one way or another.

I'd like to say I've improved over time, but...

[Avis-Mergulus]

Oh. Okay:

Spoiler: Text Wall Alert (click to show/hide)

Basically, my fort was divided into three parts by bridges: one trap-lined entrance corridor, one floodable corridor after that, and my main fort. Well, what happened was that a goblin siege just happened to coincide with the arrival of a human caravan. I, in my infinite foolishness, decided to wait until the humies enter the fort, and then drop some siegers into the drowning pit under the first bridge. So, the humans arrived all right, but the first sieger was a War Cave Dragon. The others seemed to fall behind, so I just thought I'd let him in, and then raise the bridge.

I made a fatal mistake.

Specifically, I didn't account for dwarven stupidity.

Let me give you a description of the events. The cave dragon rushes through the bridge, but he is intercepted by a macedwarf halfway through. The macedwarf flies off his rocker and goes medieval on the poor beast, bruising its innards, breaking its legs, wings, and other appendages, but, being a macedwarf, he can't seem to actually kill the wretch, and its bruised carcass prevents the bridge from being raised. Another cave dragon arrives, crosses the bridge (completely ignoring the macedwarf currently whaling on its comrade) and then he sees him. The Mule. His dragon heart overflows with hatred. He bullrushes the creature, grabs it by the head, and starts shaking it around, spraying blood all over the place. The human caravan guards promptly surround him and pull his head through his rectum. The mule goes berserk with pain, kicks the human merchant in the lower body, and runs off into the corridor, where it is bisected by a -large bismuth bronse serrated disc-. The macedwarf continues to abuse the dragon. The merchant retches. And then...

The rest of the siege arrives. They slaughter the macedwarf and the guards, but the merchant somehow escapes them. They chase him through the killing corridor, a cage trap dispatches a Hammer Lord, and the rest of the dragons refuse to follow, for some reason. The abused dragon has crawled off somehow, so I drop the goblin stragglers into the pit. The rest of the goblins pass the trap corridor with significant losses (~65%) and engages my military. This is where I found out that my marksdwarf squad hasn't been issued ammunition, and one of my two melee squads has somehow failed to arrive to their positions. The marksdwarves are promptly slaughtered, excepting their captain, who is a badass. The other goblins are dispatched by my BSDM melee squad, The Conquerors of Whipping, but not their leader, whom I shall call Boris (Baseborn Orifice Ravaging Imbecile Sonovabitch), a goblin swordmaster. My remaining five fetishist dwarves chase him around, while the marksdwarf captain has decided to screw off to the hospital for a nap and a refreshing drink.

By now I am sure of my success, being only a Novice DF Player who hasn't encountered a goblin swordmaster in melee before. Well, Boris lops off my militia commander's hand, kills two other dwarves, receiving the title of Boris the Bastard of Eviscerating, before I even notice that something is wrong. In frustration, I decide to flood the corridor to drown him, but fail to account for the fact of the second bridge being lowered (it blocks the water flow when raised), so I only end up muddying everything and spreading merchant vomit all over the place.

In a completely unrelated (I do so swear) accident the living quarters become flooded, preventing my 68 civilian dwarves from sleeping. Everybody is damn miserable already, since we have lost some dozen soldiers plus a half-dozen idiot civilians who got caught outside. Boris finishes mutilating my hapless soldiers, of whom only the militia commander and another macedwarf escape, and decides to just camp in the trade depot with the remaining dragon, since the bridge is raised. I lower the bridge, and he walks off into the sunset, his extremely long hair billowing in the breeze. The dragon remains stationary, since he can't be bothered. The rest of the military goes and shows him his error, losing another hammerdwarf in the process.

The mayor throws a tantrum and deconstructs the second bridge, while some other bastard deconstructs the first. The remaining macedwarf goes berzerk because her husband was killed in the attack. So now she's caught between the first bridge and the second with only some children to keep her company. The fort is in a tantrum spiral.

 A Russian adage goes, "Why love, why suffer? I'll go eat and go to sleep". I think I'll follow the advice. If there is a single living being in the fort by morning, I'll make love to my goggles. Do excuse me for the wall of text, I just had to tell someone the whole story.

[The Darkling Wolf]

And the windows version is up already.

It was in the original Cata thread, with regards to someone asking about the windows version.

[Caz]

Welcome  I started playing DF about 4 days ago, takes awhile to get used to things but it's the best game I've seen in a long time.

Aww, little-midget-past-Caz likes playing DF sooo much <3<3xoxo~

Shit, I feel old.

[Iceblaster]

This abomination:

Boatmurdered Murder-Murder of Murdering

I know what you are thinking "But IceBlaster, recreating Boatmurdered is a sin to all dwarfkind" and that is true, but nobody said this is boat murdered  . I will need about 10 players who will-for a year-will run this Armokforsaken place.

The Rules

Dwarven atom smashers are to be deconstructed after getting rid of a glitched item(Or getting rid of that catsplosion before it kills your PC)
Project Fuck The World Mk. II will be finished before all 10 or so overseers are done, no exceptions
Dorfing yourself is encouraged but not required.
Pictures are not required to participate. Ya know, for the people who don't have a screen cap program.

Method to Exchange Saves

I would prefer Email, but if it won't fit just use Mediafire, I think free should do it for new users.

What Will happen

Elephants will find and brutally rip us apart... tooth for tooth

Submit your entries(I don't come here but once a day, so expect this)

I don't know what I was thinking...

[FritzPL]

As I see now,sending caravan into swamps was a BAD idea.

Also,what the hell about those elves left behind?


(make that diplomat plot on the fail of caravan. remember,he was upset that HE wasnt chosen. :>)

i want to die

(this was in the now-dead drawn adventure, Elves of the Anamareli)

[AlleeCat]

It's a great sign that my first post was about anime

[Willfor]

Nothing is inevitable in terms of being taken over. A person who doesn't make their project publically owned is under no obligation to sell out due to stockholder pressure.

I was still spelling publicly wrong. I'm not entirely sure how I was doing that because spellcheck.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Sometimes spellcheck gets it wrong, or you want to use a word that doesn't exist.
