He has that sort of impression on people. You know, that "Be friends with me or die" kind of impression.

GoGoGadget40kAnalogy: Like the Tau empire, and also like the Tau, it's actually a relatively warm and sincere one compared to the alternatives.

When a multi-millenarian evil engineer who has a footnote under genocide in the dictionary is relatively warm and sincere, things are wrong.

Wrong?

THIS IS BLOCKEDLANCE! *SPIKESTAB*! *ETERNAL SOUL CRUSHING AGONY!*

[MrGimp]

I wish I lived at Blockedlance....

I'd be smart enough to worship Armok.  So I wouldnt ever be sent to pull levers.  And after a few years of making soap I would be legendary, and never have to worry about money again!  The community would literally support my rat weed habit out of their own coffers!

Dwarven society rocks.  Much better than humans.

I recently got hired at a programming job that has me on at 300 a week as basically an intern (slave) for three weeks.  After that, if I havent completely fucked everything to shit, they hire me on at 1000 a week.  $52,000 a year!!!!   WOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

I'll finally be out of the peasantry!  I wont exactly be a purple-robed noble...but I'll be solidly middle class.  It will cover food, rent, and my rat weed habit.  That's all I really care about.

But yeah....I have to slave away on masterwork web applications.  Updates might slow for a bit.  Hopefully they wont overload me too bad on the weekends.

[Tradanbattlan]

Hell yeah. Armok is employed, baby.

[MrGimp]

Who knew Armok was a pimply faced 25 year old computer nerd who has never made more than 10 grand in a year before?   

[Moose Fisher]

Climb that ladder Armok! 

[MrGimp]

How come it can't be more of a career escalator....or maybe a career elevator?  I'm tired of climbing this damn career ladder!!!  Where's the career hot air balloon?

I've been writing code for this guys real estate software since 10 am.  So thats 16 hours, minus a couple hours here and there to smoke herb.

After many months in the void speaking with and watching the strange telepath, Christes had pieced together as much as she could.  Apparently, after many eons, he had discovered that the white void was the base of all reality, the basis of all existence.  From this empty base realm, one could - with great mental effort - affect and bend the void to one's will. 

Christes wondered why the telepath stuck to coffee tables and a simple bed....perhaps after thousands of years he had just kinda gotten into a routine?  He didnt even seem to notice that he was affecting reality around him.  One minute, he would be explaining the nature of the white void, and yet the next, he would claim that the table he just manifested had always been there, it had just previously not been seen.

Christes continued to attempt to learn the ways of the mad telepath.  Perhaps she could manifest Tradan back to her?  Or manifest a door back to Blockedlance?  She focused all her thought on that which she wanted to be, and make it so.  Nothing.  There was nothing.  She could not manifest a thing out of the whiteness.  Oh well....she had 10,000 years to practice.  In time she would get it right......

[MrGimp]

Alright, MrGimp, what's in store for Grigrak next? Maybe he should spend a thousand summers hitchhiking through the void before returning to kill Queen Urist? Or maybe he should get right back to it and possess another doomed victim?

I have no idea what will happen to Grigrak....

I like the idea of incarnating him into the Tax Collector....but I already killed this years tax collector.   

[MrGimp]

Howdy. I used to post as Guy Montag untill my computer ate shit, exploded, and I forgot my password.

So what is Baron von Montague doing these days? Head of the Soviet Supreme is muy excellente, thats how I envisioned the guy. A power-hungry, conniving bureaucrat with an axe. The historial Soviet Supreme ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Soviet) isn't much different.

As it stands now, with the coup defeated and Queen Urist now clamped down on the of populace with a stanglehold and degree of power greater then ever before. With the duke under her thumb, all malcontents dead, time traveling save-loss quantum implosions and all resistance ritualistically stained on Urist's gentialia, the fortress seems to be once again under the old 1984 style dictatorship where no lesser can possibly displace the Queen.

Still, you'd wonder if the folks in Letterclose would be concerned that their queen is copulating in dwarf blood and is causing their demon invasion problem. That bit of Demon Meat they offered for sale almost seems like warning, like the horse head in your bed to tell you you are out of line.

Doh!

I forgot I promised the head of the stonecutters to you!  Aw man....I made the Duke (Soviet Travolta) the Supreme Soviet / Soviet Supreme. 

Isnt that like nobles to just come in and swoop shit out of hard working dwarven hands?

Well damnit, Baron von Montague is still a baron, and so what if the Duke gets the TITLE of the Soviet Supreme?  Montague is still the REAL leader of the stonecutters.

hmmmm....might add an interesting plot dynamic within the stonecutters...



Also....as for Letterclose, they dont even exist anymore.  I abandoned and looked in legends, and my civilization is officially dead.  I dont get migrants other than tax collectors and hammerers.  Blockedlance is literally the last outpost of my nation.  When I abandon....thats it.

[Moose Fisher]

Then where are all the Tax Collectors and Hammerers coming from?

Surely Armok has better things to do than incarnating dwarves and sending them to the slaughterhouse that is Blockedlance.

Then Mogror will have to find another civilization to poison.

At some point, I hope Grigrak will be able to be a thorn in the side of Queen Urist, as a minor villain (hero?). Maybe Grigrak gets smart, realizing that he should incarnate himself as a threat to Blockedlance. A slightly more than competent goblin commander? Or maybe he's come to audit Blockedlance's finances as the next Tax Collector?

Or maybe he comes as a false prophet of Armok to lead the flock astray!

Okay I just checked again, and my civilization is (barely) still alive.  Letterclose is abandoned, we have no settlements besides Blockedlance.  You cant start as a dwarf from my nation in adventure mode, but you can start an outpost from the ageless matched lashes in dawrf mode.

When I abandoned my fort and let it run worldgen a couple years, Urist and everyone else moved off and settled in some old human ruins.  haha  But then they went nomad again after that and didnt settle for ten years.  So I gave up peering into the future and went back to the game.
