Roll back to before Taupe's disastrous turn

Keep going and see what happens

Let it die

[DolosusDoleus]

That thing I said earlier about "take back the surface or die trying"?

My bet's now 100% on the "die trying" bit.

Why is every succession fort preceded by some quote about "Taupe's disastrous turn"?    I sense a pattern here...

Did it involve a webby flying snail, perchance?

Close: it involved a tantrumming dwarf, a poorly-placed lever, and the ravening hordes of the Inferno itself.

Taupe's turns usually involve Lava/Magma, floods, vampires, Forgotten Beasts, Titans, other legendary beasts, invasions/sieges and/or Demons. That, coupled with a sudden drop in the life expectancy of at least 95% of the Fortress....well, it ain't pretty. But much !!FUN!!

[Iamblichos]

Yes, Taupe's contribution to Doomforests was... epic.

[chaotic skies]

His contributions were...interesting here too.

[Taupe]

I was mid-way posting a short message about how I don't really attract disasters when half my basement burned down.

Long story short, we cleaned up and repaired the dryer because it was running slowly. It started working at normal speed and promptly exploded.

Spoiler: After (click to show/hide)

Even Fate tries to tell you that you're a Disaster-Magnet, Taupe. Just try and don't kill your hometown by accident, kay?

On a more serious note: I hope nobody got hurt/your house isn't severely damaged? Half your basement sounds bad.

[Taupe]

Mostly just storage or unimportant items. Windows and mirrors exploded, the electricity took a beating, the basement is blackened, but nothing insurance wont cover. The laundry room was in a dumb, isolated spot, which meant we couldn't get to the fire to extinguish it due to so much smoke, but it also stopped the fire from spreading out too much.

In any case, everyone is alright and the biggest loss was probably my wardrobe. Thankfully it happened when we were home, or it would have been much worse.

December: Mom, im out of socks, if you really dont know what to get me for christmass.
Mars: Mom, Im really out of socks, if you really dont know what to get me for my birthday

*hugs*
Glad you're okay, safe, and are actually going to appreciate the socks.

[Iamblichos]

Criminy... glad you and the family are ok!  Maybe you can score some *pigtail sock*s out of it, and at least there wasn't a flying webby snail involved!

I own exactly one pair of pants at the moment, and it is falling appart. At least the bar was spared. I never felt so dwarven in my life.

Now you know why the dwarves run into goblin sieges to get socks.
Also, the bar is still there? Perfect timing for some drunken fortress action then, eh eh?

[Taupe]

Massuve amounts of inhaled smoke tends to give the kind of headache that dissuades drinking, sadly.

[Mr Frog]

Jesus god I leave y'all unsupervised for a day and Taupe literally blows up his basement

Gosh, that's kinda intense .-.  Glad nobody was hurt.
