Check your pm's, Fallen.

Hey everyone, I'd like to say something rather important for the future of the fortress.  What some of you may not know is that there is a lot of work done behind the scenes to coordinate the story and ensure that in the end, there is a satisfying conclusion for everyone.  One of the things that I've realized recently is that because this is mostly done by the "old guard": me, Rhaken, Deus Asmoth, MDFication, and Gnorm, that it not only excludes you all from the ongoing plot but also means that you don't know what we have planned.  This can have unforseen consequences that, while sometimes helpful to the story, can also cause disruption, and frankly we're probably the ones to blame for that for not working with you all to weave your personal narratives into the larger story.

So, I'm going to say something here: if there is something specific you are going for, something you want for your character's story, pm one of us.  We can help you accomplish it while also making it more awesome by having actually affects on the story as a whole.

I like how in story every one is hating on fallen but did every one forget about my body stealing. (I can't really post long posts because of data.) Also how goes the spear trapping for hell?

You body swapped once. He is in his fourth incarnation, steals corpses of major characters, declares a powerful artifact to be his brother and attempts to steal it, impersonates a main character, and attacks characters for teh lulz.

Your point? I see nothing wrong with how the story is progressing.

If you see nothing wrong with how your story is progressing, perhaps I am mistaken, unenlightened. Explain to me then, how I can understand it, for I am in need of your help. How is your story progressing, from the beginning where you were burning insects for fun up until now? Where do you plan to take this story?

Gnorm.

First of all, the passive-aggressive nature of that was uncalledfor.  Second, he doesn't have much of a plan.  I asked him.  But I'm also going to try to work with him to refine his plans (read: have a clear direction to work towards).

This might be a bad time to mention that I'm a teetotaler.

Obviously, one of you must drink my share. I nominate MDFI.

My liver may never forgive you.

Everyone?

Nah. My character noticed your bodysurfing, said hi, then wondered why none of the other "main characters" were bodysurfing reliably.

Three months later, it hit him: he needed to upgrade the resurrection mechanic of the universe.

Holy crap you're alive.

Hypothetically, if Tarmid were to ask your dwarf about Steelhold, how much of the truth would he get?

There's nothing wrong with how the story is progressing, it just makes sense that every other dwarf in Demongate would think you're a sociopath.

Also, for people interested in coordinating with the overarching plotlines, there's link in the OP to a discussion. If you want to keep your plans private and react to things as they come, that's fine too, but if you're involving other people it's polite to give them some idea of what you have in mind.

[danmanthedog]

I was playing around... damm the passive aggressive is thick like molasses.  Let's all take a breather and burn some elves.

[Zaerosz]

I'd like to point out to FallenAngel that it generally helps if things actually make sense within the context of the story. Not your story, the fort's story. None of what I've seen so far from you has achieved that. Just speaking as, you know, a casual observer.
