In the "Histories of X and Y" message, I didn't notice Mettle was used. Is it new?

[Mesa]

Seems like an unlikely addition (in the current release cycle), so maybe you just never notice it before / it never showed up; I don't really recall it either, however.

I've noticed a couple of words here and there in this version that I haven't seen before. I put it down to the mysteries of the rng.

It should be trivial for Toady to add new words in that message. Just add some more words to that list, tadaa.

I mean in other places too. Place names and such.

That too should be trivial, just add words to a list, again.

I think I remember Mettle being used a long time ago a few times. It randomly generates each time but that doesn't mean on a single group of runs of an RNG you'll see the exact same distribution of words as anyone else. You can expect quite a bit of ridiculousness where some people get a word hundreds of times and other people get it no times at all.

Well, yes, that's the point isn't it? Anyone can see within moments of a new release if new words have been added to a list. So, it's either not happening, and just the rng messing with you (most likely) or existing words which were somehow being skipped before are now being included (odd, but stranger things have happened...).

It's always been there - even as far back as version 0.21.93.19a (the first version ever released), the possible "Histories of X and Y" have been as follows:

X: "Greed", "Avarice", "Jealousy", "Cupidity", and "Gluttony"
Y: "Industry", "Enterprise", "Resourcefulness", "Determination", "Mettle", "Dynamism", "Labor", "Toil", "Diligence", "Exertion", "Tenacity", and "Perseverance"

Well, there you go.
Again I wasn't expecting it to be new, since even though it might be a very easy thing to add, Toady's priorities are in completely different areas of the game right now, so it'd seem strange for him to suddenly add new words to the list of possible title screen subtitles when he's working on stuff like false identities and what have you.
