Fail

[nahkh]

Bump for the bump god; updates for the update throne.

[Qloos]

I failed, skip me.

Don't ask, I dont want to talk about it.

[nahkh]

Ok, PTTG. You're up.

[PTTG??]

I've got my notice and I'll be begining play this evening.

[nahkh]

Hokay people, listen up.
As a semi-observant follower of this thread I'm seeing a disturbing trend. I see people eagerly signing up, only to disappear after a mere few months wait. Fye on it! These kids have no STAMINA.
And further, you get your hands on the save and go off to a glorious start, only to lose interest once the difficulties start setting in.
"Oh damn I lost half the military to an unlucky ambush and the other half is throwing tantrums."
"Oh boogers, I just flooded the fort. With magma."
"Ohshi- pits!"
or more likely "Oh bloody hell, this place is an incomprehensible mess! I can't even find the food stockpile nevermind the bridge lever."
Shame I say. These things, heavy loads an overseer must bear, they wear you down, do they? A pox on you! These are the things that should INVIGORATE! To work, to strive, to excel! That is the dwarven way. The harder the challenge, the sweeter the reward.
Oh, running a mountainhome isn't such a breeze? Well tough shit. What do think this is? A holiday camp?
THIS IS BLOODY ETERNAL HALLS.

Yes, this was intended as a bit tongue in cheek even if I do hold the sentiment. However, there are some things I do want to say in all seriousness.
First, if you signed up, please let us know if you want to retract your offer. Just courtesy, please.
Second, if you start and can't finish, don't drop the save, especially if you screwed up royally. Upload the incomplete save and we'll carry on. That is what Eternal Halls is all about, no? If you do drop the save it's the same as savescumming, which is definitely against what this fort is about.

Thanking you in advance,
 -Nahkh

Ps. Qloos, I was so waiting to hear about the hilarious antics of having the entire population ordered to the meat grinder obsidian sword practice. Many decapitations?

[Heron TSG]

I'll still do my turn, and I'll make sure not to sign up for anything else in the meanwhile.

Be fair, abbeyverse landed on me.
Hard.

[nahkh]

As the spoiler should be making clear I'm not quite as foamy-mouthed as the post indicates. I certainly can understand if other business come up that take priority over playing a game.
What I object to is those people who simply lose interest. It's not nice to those who actually want to play the game.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

I agree.

Could've at least uploaded the save so all your work wasn't for naught.

[PTTG??]

Quick update- things going OK so far.

Got a siege right away, and Aqizzar and company handled it personally with no losses.

Meanwhile, got the elven diplomat or whatever, and I was asked to cut down no more than 100 trees for the year. After long thought, I decided to give the elves this token, if only out of respect for the numerous barrels of fine booze they had brought us. I agreed to this and sent them on the way happily.

Meanwhile, things where going ok, but then-
The impertinent Vegetation has defaced a Masterwork!

...

THE GALL.
These plants will pay-

They will all pay.

COMMENCE THE CLEARING! LET NO TREE STAND ALIVE! LET NO SHRUB GO UNROOTED! SCOUR THIS TERRAIN TO THE DEAD SOIL!

[Jackrabbit]

Burn all, let not a shrub remain. Fuel the fires, heat the sky, blacken the very sun. No vegetation shall survive the terrible wrath. Fuel the fires, fuel Isenguard! What? Okay, fine, fuel the Eternal Halls, whatever.

[Heron TSG]

YES! THE ROMAN PROVINCE OF WHERE FRANCE IS NOW!!!

or... gall?
