Ninja Pichu cancels go about day normally: Praying to Armok for update.

[Arbitrax]

Wow, just read this whole thing, this is simply incredible, thanks so much for writing it MrGimp.

If there are any unclaimed dwaves I'd love one, profession is irrelevant, just being a small part of the history of this foul cesspit of dwarven awesomeness would be cool!

[Svarte Troner]

I suppose I'll take one too, to be part of Ragnarok!

At first, when I started reading this thread, I was like: oh, this seems like a nice DF community fortress. It has dwarves and adamantine and demons and death and stuff. I should read it further.

After 30 some pages, I reached the baby sacrificies and I was like:

Now I have finished the thread and I'm like:

Nice work on the fortress, awaiting more epicness. And death.

[Urist McKing]

I think the dude died...

[The Architect]

What, you mean he got "gimped"?

[Urist McKing]

Lol. Gimped.
His last activity was on the second of september. It's the 26th. I don't think he would abandon us like this without saying anything... MAybe he is in the hospital? Or his connection could be out. Either way, we're boned.

[Innominate]

I think he's just doing a lot of intense work getting some software ready to release. Hopefully this means he gets paid, which means he can continue the delicious cycle in which food is converted into schadenfreude.

[Urist McKing]

Well, if you want some boring explanation...

[BadSyntax]

9 trillion bottles of beer on the wall anyone? 

[Svarte Troner]

8999999999999 bottles of dwarven ale on the wall...

[MrGimp]

September 2nd???  Ack!  So much time passes and all I do is work.  I havent done anything fun or memorable in the past month.  Oy.

I was trying to do an ascii draw scene for the siege.  But it takes forever and I havent had time to finish it.  I think maybe Ill just use screenshots from Lord of the Rings or something.  lol......I dont know.  You are the fans.  What do you guys think?  ASCII Draw siege?  Or Lord of the Rings Helms Deep siege?  lol  =]

Fuck work.  I hate being a wage slave for people like Urist.  How did this happen?  Anyways....I dont trust my boss to pay me what he is promising, so I have started my own side project (so now I have two jobs).  I had a web site company a year or so ago, and the business license is still good.  So I am marketing for that using some of the tricks Ive learned at my job, and I am using some of the money from my job to hire some guys in India to build websites for me.  So I market websites, send the work to them, they build it, I send it out to the customer badda bing badda boom.  At least thats what Im setting up.  I got a guy running a team for me building two small webpages right now.  We'll see how it goes.

Its kind of like an Imperialist venture.  I mean....its my own personal East India Company.  If you dont know what Im talking about you need to study history dammit.  Ive based a lot of this story off of my impression of what Ive read in history books.  So read about the european east india companies.  There were several...even Denmark had one.  The biggest and best of course was Britain's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company

Does the flag look familiar?  lol  Its kinda shocking to think that America stole its flag from what basically amounts to the corporate logo of the largest corporation around in 1776.  It would be like California rebelling against America and then putting the Nike swoosh on the flag.  Fact is stranger than fiction I guess.

Sorry.......I ramble when Im baked off my ass.

Anyways....so now I follow in the footsteps of my evil bastard imperialist ancestors in the exploitation of global wage differentials.  I will make my fortune in the East Indies.  I slave all day to make my boss rich, but while I work, on the other side of the planet, a team of people are now working to make me rich.  How did these programmers, the lower-upper class of India, come to be employed by some slacker stoner 26 year old dude in America?  When you understand how that happened, you will understand how lucky all of us westerners are with our internet access and leisure time to play video games while 4 billion people starve.  We sit on a golden throne atop a mountain of skulls. 

We are the Urists of the world.

"Feh.  How hard could it be?"

-MrGimps last words before being mercilessly crushed by reality.

[Argonnek]

Such is life and enterprise.

I vote for the helms deep siege photos.
