Okay I will do that so I have when to post? Also it seems that I had adama armor for a bit and helped killed the dust Fb to which I passed iut from the dust getting on my foot.

[Timeless Bob]

Ah, well I just came from Guinee, where an ebola epidemic started, and I take daily meds against Malaria, I will cycle through minefields at Westsahara and have to survive the desert in the first place. If nothing else, my vacations are at least not boring.

Thanks for details on the grinder, I hope danman can make good use of them. At some point someone has to conquer that curios underground fort.

Those quinine derivatives are almost as bad as getting malaria, euch!

[CaptainMcClellan]

Key word there is "almost". Meph, when you have completed this trip how much of the world will you have cycled over?

[TalonisWolf]

 I predict it will reach within the realm of 70-90% of bikable land.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Depends, are you counting Antarctica as "bikable land?"

[TalonisWolf]

  It's covered in snow and ice, or the terrain isn't suited for biking in any way. Thus, it is not bikable land.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Mmm. Yeah. Someone needs to invent a snow bike. In the meantime, Meph's bike-space should be good enough for quite a few years.

Ehm, guys, you know that several people did already bike to the south pole, and that snow bikes are a thing?

I will have ~60% of the un member states, and about 0,000001% of "all bikeable land". And whoever says that malaria.prophylaxis is as bad as getting Malaria: Know that he is woefully uneducated on the matter. Malaria with the best treatment in the best hospital still has a 10% deathrate. No one dies because of prophylaxis. And that quirine has been mentioned, as in chloriquine, tells me that the info is also outdated, as almost all Malaria worldwide has become immune to it by now, since many years. I know its still marketed in northern america, for unknown reasons.

But yeah... 117/193 un member states. If you guys really want to know more, there is that libk in the description.

Wow, that's great that there's another kind of bike I'm incapable of riding!

Also, I did not know that malaria was resistant to quinine now. Thank you for the useful information.

[danmanthedog]

Well I have 10 ironclad boars all level seven with ruins on them I just have to link up the defenses for the airlock and then put last line of defenses which are hellfire mines in case they some how break the bridge. You guys got any ideas to help with killing the undead?

I just happen to be working on a chloroquinine study in Africa!  It appears that some pockets of malaria have lost much of their immunity to CQ, so it is being tested again as a cheap alternative.  Never thought this would come up in DF forum threads.

[danmanthedog]

It work for a bit the boar idea, they would kill all the zombies that WOULD come near but only came in. So I tried to give them all to the commander and send them into battle right wrong they would not follow him and he jump into the glowing pit and is now spraying blood all over a frost wraith so im all out of ideas and my computer can't handle it anymore. So skip me.

Noone did. How awesome is that though? Congrats on doing potentially life-saving work. * thumbs up *

Umm... I can't take the fort right now, can someone finish Danman's turn real quick or just move me down a notch to the next spot? I'm still busy with MurderMachines... It's been ridiculous time-consuming.

Thanks Captain!  I'm just a data manager for the study, and I cannot talk about specifics, but I like working on projects that help people, and it is nice to know others appreciate those of us doing that kind of work.

I'll take a look at a casual pace.  Probably this weekend.  If it's not far in the new year, and the situation got as gnarly as danman said, I may fork from my save.  Partly because I am working on relaunching my gaming site, and because I am trying to get some work done in other in depth games.  Mainly because this fortress is some work to play.  But I do want to see it come through and not just die due to instability of players being able to play.  So I'll take a look over the weekend.

Another thought:  Maybe we should just turn this into play-as-play-can.  It seems only a few people are interested at the moment in actually playing, so open it up to whoever wants to give it a crack, and let multiple people fiddle as long as they give updates.  Then, if two versions are going, the active players and watchers can vote at various points to decide on the cannon fort.  Or we can just have fun watching various attempts at the fort. Thoughts?

[danmanthedog]

I was only 2 months in, if only those damm boars or undead just stormed in to the fort it would have been awsome but no it was not to be. Also the guy who jump into the pit I turn off teledwarf for him and told him to attack a zombie.... he moved at the speed of sound.
