Cruising along with files...  might finish them off tomorrow.  Then it's on to fixing the bugs that I made when I put them in: dwarves lie around unable to pick things up, some creatures suffocate at random, and a few of the deer that entered the map were called "hunting deer" like the dwarves' hunting dogs.  It allows them to sneak better but...  who trained the deer...  Then it's back into the regular flow of decreasing numbers.

It's the druids you fool! the druids trained em! It's like those horses you read about in the Belgarid, the ones with claws and fangs! RUN DWARVES RUN! THE DEER ARE COMING!

All right, 926.  It doesn't sound like much, but the file stuff is done.  It's not going to be 10 a day again for a while yet, but I shouldn't be stuck on the same number for 2 weeks either.  Lessee...  926*2=1852..  1852/52 = some large number of years.  So I'd better not do that.

[Toady One]

911.  Working on basic save/load, etc.

[Demon]

911 tasks / 15 tasks/day= 2 months.

Hurry!  We're running out of dwarf jokes!

...just kidding.  I don't think it's possible to run out of dwarf jokes.

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

Well I'm all out, now I have to start with the midget ones, then it's the shorty ones, and then I can always go into the blonde, brunette and redhead jokes... and after that the preacher jokes, the bar jokes, the animal related jokes, the heaven jokes, the hell jokes, and by then I can go back to the dwarves  

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

Has it been 2 months yet?

[Toady One]

Nope, only 2 weeks since Demon made his bold estimate.  Not that I'm very far along.  887.  This is because there was a lot of hectic things on the job front these past several days, although I managed to get a position, which is good news.

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

Oh well, patience is a virtue, and being virtous makes you go to heaven.

[Svirfneblim]

Yeah, we're wating patiently.
I'm just a lurker i guess, but i'm really looking forward to this game and i know there's no reason to be overly hasty.

[Demon]

(28 days - 12 days)/(911 tasks-887 tasks)*887 tasks = 591 days to go...      :eek:

By position, you mean you are a Princeton math prof now?

Texas, Princeton, same thing.

Here's a texan joke.

What size box do you need to bury a texan after you've kicked the shit out of him?

A matchbox.

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

Here's another joke: Well actually I don't have a joke about texas, or maybe it is, not sure. Let's try...

This guy was in texas, and he was visiting a bar, and it was really large. So he goes to the barkeep and asks "hey, do you sell cigarrs here?" and the barkeep gives him one, and the guy says "wow this cigarr is HUGE" and the barkeep says "it's because we're in texas, everything is big here". "Can I have something to drink?" and the barkeep puts up a HUGE glass on the table with beer "wow! texas style drink?" he asks. "yeah the barkeep responds, everything is big here." After a few hours of drinking and smoking cigarrs, the now smashed out of his mind customer asks "Where'sh the bathroom?" and the barkeep responds "down that hall, last door on the left". But the guy takes the right door and accidently falls into the pool outside of it. Panicking, he shouts "DONT FLUSH!!!"

Yeah you can resume throwing stones at me now
