Roll back to before Taupe's disastrous turn

Keep going and see what happens

Let it die

[pisskop]

I picked up the save.  Gwolfie, you used a tileset?  The next person will want to make sure that the proper files are vanilla before replacing them with default values.

Also what is this?  Besides trap spam

You should give us write ups pls.  My dwarf is dead, you're a baron, wtf happened?

[pisskop]

Okay, Mr Frog died in a cave-in.  I died to a goblin.  At least 1 hero dwarf fell off that bridge(?), 1 dwarf died to <unknown>, and theres like 400 more battle-deaths.
Fortress population is 132, with like 30 kids.  What happened to the GCS you had?






Also, could the next person free the two trapped miners on the floor with the siege weapons?

...@Gwolfski, I very specifically said, in the rules, to uninstall any tilesets before uploading. I am actually legit angry with you now. Unless someone can figure out how to fix it promptly your turn is null. I've had enough of this.

E: Okay I think I've worked out how to correct it.

E2: Ran into a hiccup. Too irritated to continue and I have things to do anyways. Will attempt the fix later tonight when I'm calmer.

[Splint]

Am I free to voice my opinion on that matter? Because I know Mr Frog has final say regardless.

Only if you're polite, civil, and refrain from personal attacks or other open hostility. I'd like to minimise any ensuing ‼DRAMA‼.

For the record, provided that Gwolfski posts the remainder of his updates promptly I see no further reason to null his turn, as I'm 99% sure I can fix the save (can't at the moment due to prior commitments) and getting rid of a week of gameplay simply out of wrath seems extremely counterproductive.

[Splint]

I'd like to voice that I feel Gwolfski has performed in a sub-par capacity on all grounds, with few (and very underwhelming,) write-ups, seemingly breaking the trapspam rule (I can't tell if he has or not from the screenshot,) failure to observe the time and communication rules until after being poked about it, and violated the graphics rule. As such, I honestly feel that such a underwhelming presentation and wasting the thread's time for the most part, warrants a discard.

I mean no offense when i say these things, it's just how I feel in wake of them.

[Gwolfski]

look, i was in a bad situation, ok? i uploaded the save with graphics, cos , you wanted it strait away. easy to fix. go to init.txt and replace the phoebus something entries with curses16x16.png

[TheBiggerFish]

FWIW, you probably could have asked for a bit of time to take the tileset off.

Eh.

[Gwolfski]

look want me to do it for you?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

yeah you do.

[Gwolfski]

look, im really low on time. howa bout i post a non-in-cf=haracter update now and tommorrow ill edit it into charatcer.

 i have an unfinished silk trap. finish it like this:

Code: [Select]

#####
#d#s#
###+#d is were you pit the dog from above, s is where you build the cage with the gcs, link it to the righter white lever. # are fortifications and + is a stone door, that will be forbidden after the cage is wired up.below the microcline bridge, build a bismuth bridge and link it to the purple lever in the control room. i gathered all the bismuth and made it into bars. when done, remove the spider room from the burrow and forbid the doors leading to the bridges. pull the cage lever to release the gcs. if you ever need to remove the dog,pull the top white lever.toggle the bridges to make silk fall down. be carefull ot ot crush the weavers. build some looms, one on collect web on repeat and the other make silk.

the big bridge with trpas is for military engagement with enemys .thetraps   re bacup in cae enemies get past the soldiers. and to get war tigers for the arena.

be sure to make sure no dwarfs are in cages.

It's not that simple. The graphics pack you used tampered with the actual save file to change the display tiles of ores and such -- you can see this in pisskop's save screencap where unsmoothed walls don't have the right tile. What I now have to do (which I am extremely annoyed that I have to do) is copy unmolested raws from an earlier save into the save you uploaded and re-upload it.

Also, I didn't want the save straight away. I never said that. I needed an actual update. That's it.


Also @Splint: Those appear to be cage traps, which I never specifically banned, although the sheer number of them is a bit silly. I do have more than half a mind at this point to annul this turn but since we already have a save (...of sorts) up I'd rather try to keep things in motion rather than roll back. That would be a true waste of time.

E2: Although, for the record, anyone who pushes their luck in terms of not giving updates from now on is gonna be skipped -- if I have to pester someone more than once or twice they're canned. I tried being nice this time, but it backfired, and now Angry Frog is on the loose and I really, really don't like him or want to have to bring him out again.

E3: Save has been fixed. So that's one fire put out.

E4:

look, im really low on time. howa bout i post a non-in-cf=haracter update now and tommorrow ill edit it into character

Just make a separate post for the in-character version, and please, make it nice and big.

E5: Fixed a wrong word.

[Splint]

I'm not getting my hopes up.

[Mr Frog]

I'm not getting my hopes up.

There's no need to get snarky.

Gonna go and mull things over for a bit.

[Mr Frog]

Okay, so. I've mulled it over thoroughly and in light of the massive delays, need for repeated pestering, and demonstrated ignorance of and/or disregard for the rules, I have lost faith in Gwolfski's ability to perform in a timely manner without having to metaphorically stick a cattle prod up his butt, which is already noted by himself as resulting in extremely-slapshod work. As such, I am annulling Gwolfski's turn (with profuse apologies) and rolling back to pisskop's save. Please send any bitching to me directly via PM, as there's already too much drama regarding this in the thread and I'd much rather keep things tidy -- I'd like this to be the last in-thread post on the subject. I apologise for flip-flopping on the matter.

Not to be draconian, but hereafter I'll only pester someone about status reports and updates once or twice before just skipping them, so please nobody push your luck.

Now, if y'all don't mind, I have now stressed out over this silly forum game way more than I should have so I'm just gonna go play Earthbound for a few hours.

[Monitor Lisard]

In fact, game-related fiction in this thread amuses me more than the succession game itself. Also, the last two or three of my own games were abandoned, not because of lack of interest, but rather the overabundance of rules and such.

Thinking about starting an Ms Paint adventure or something like that.
