I have an honest question.
Did I write a moderately psychopathic sociopathic person who doesn't care when he or others die?

Sociopath yes, but I found your character really, really unpredictable. As in I couldn't grasp their reasons for doing anything.

Even if this story is ok we should start a new one. We know we can do better!!! Just take what we learned from Steelhold and Demongate and apply it to a new story. One thing I know I learned is that we work better with no past influence when there is no set objective or story arc and when there is little to no resrictions. There has to be limits but let those Be your own common sense in most cases!!! That is what made Steelhold different we didn't say oh are final objective is to build a megaproject and you can't do this or that. We also didn't say lets defend against the bloodkin!!!! We just wrote and created one of the best story's I have ever seen!! Let's create another masterpiece not something we're fine with!!! Let's create a "New World".

Being extremely unpredictable was my intent, actually.

*sigh*

I'll upload the save later today, with a brief synopsis of what happened that I would have written in narrative form.  I'm just... not able to finish the story :-\

If you want to PM me the synopsis I can finish writing the story long form. I have a few free days and not much to do.

Should I get the badgerdogs to search for the deceased?

Yo guys, I think Gnorm is kill. Apparently he did something... Meatgod-y with a transgender mod.

I removed the thread created by Gnorm as concerns the quote above.  Gnorm has also been removed.

Anyway now it says he 'can't receive pms' so I'm fairly sure he got banned. Don't know when he'll be back, the Meatgod guy actually got his account back eventually but I didn't read the thread in question and can't say how fucked up it was.

So in summary;

a) RIP sweet prince.
b) Don't take inspiration from Steelhold's moral standards.
c) Your overseers are safe now, the nightmare is over.

No more mass killing of our dearest overseers! What was his final tally, by the way?

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

They are never safe.

There's always an unfortunate accident waiting to happen: whether it's an unfortunate accident or an unfortunate "accident" doesn't matter.

Let me think...

He managed to kill:
-Jackal (via goblins)
-Modi (via goblins)
-Lenehan (via Giant Tick)
-Emdief II (via 'training accident of an unknown nature. >mfw trans character mysteriously dies Gnorm)
-Rhaken (via Demon)
-Vlad (via goblins)

Congratulations Gnorm, on being responsible for 6/23 Overseer deaths! That's just over 25%!

Also, upon further investigation of the moderation log, he seems to be permabanned. Guess his thread was at least 1.5 Meatgods in fucked-up-ness.

Rest in pork rinds, Gnorm.
Your legacy shall live on.

Funnily enough, I'm pretty sure the only overseer death I'm responsible for was myself.
EDIT: I confirmed he's kill, he doesn't show up on the user list.
Check page 474 near the bottom, Gnorm should be between Gnorc and Gnu.

Hrm. Meatgod was banned for child abuse or something, wasn't he? What did Gnorm get up to?

Also, I wouldn't say your overseers are safe yet. I still hold the record for highest death toll, I think, though I can't curse everyone in the fortress this time around.

Since we're close to the end of the overseer list anyway and the thread's been quiet for a good while now, I figure we might as well start planning for this sequel people are in favour of. Do you want to stay with .34? Going to .40 would be better in my opinion since we'd get to witness the slow advance of the bloodkin armies via reports from our liaisons. The world will have to be fairly small for FPS purposes if it's in .40 though.
