People are oddly starting to migrate from asking Toady things to asking Footkerchief things.

I already asked Toady something in private (not that it is a big secret, it just is uninteresting and not appropriate to this thread... at least not as far as I know)

It is getting close to going overboard.

Goodness I didn't even realise the 26th was American Thanksgiving.

As far as we know Fireballs are still in the game right? Or did Toady add a "Fire" material and fireballs are now Glob Material breaths? Well I am aware he made a "Fire" material for certain creatures.

American Thanksgiving is on the last Thursday in November.  Don't ask me why that day was chosen but it has been a federal law since 1942.

We do i because Foot seems to know everything Toady has ever said, ever, and he answers much more often. Besides, Toady needs to work on programming, not just answering questions for people.
On that thought, we should challenge Foot to a trivia competition. Like "How many times has Toady mentioned the materials available on forgotten beasts?" Or "What new tags are available for weapons?"

[Neonivek]

Foot doesn't have a steel clad memory, though I have no idea how good it is, but he knows how to use a search engine.

Hense the Medal suggestion... Well unless my brain is melting... but I SWEAR Toady said something about it or similar somewhere (like the Devs)

Last time I checked, normal fire breath is going to be the the same way it is now; dunno about the fireballs.

Hense the Medal suggestion... Well unless my brain is melting... but I SWEAR Toady said something about it or similar somewhere (like the Devs)

Assuming this quote is talking about the same thing as the last one:

How does the [DRAGONFIREBREATH] tag work now? Is it going to be replaced with a poison breathe that burns people?

It's still the same as ever.  It is hot.  Fire is kind of a weird thing.  The critters that are made from fire have a weird material for it, but the breath is still a materialless flow.

[Footkerchief]

Haha, Neonivek was referring to this exchange in a Suggestions thread, which was about medals in the sense of awards.

[Neonivek]

Yep further evidence that my mind is melting into a pool of brain juice.

[Footkerchief]

Sounds like a magma man's got you by the head.  Man, that reminds me how creepy and disturbing it'll be when we get Adv. Mode corpse processing.  I just hope all that stuff has combat/wrestling facets, so you can perform classic maneuvers like ripping out a foe's heart and eating it in front of him, or maybe just using it to spray his allies in the face like some kind of demented water balloon.

[Neonivek]

I just hope the people around you will recognise it.

What is the point or ripping out someone's heart and swallowing it whole if everyone around him doesn't suddenly go crazy? Well either that or they find it SOO awsome that they accept it into their culture!

"We are the night, the assassins of the assassins.  We are The Council of Butter.  All of our soldiers wear full outfits of adamantine thread, pitched black as the night that is our home, we climb sheer walls silently without tools, we pass heavily guarded positions as if we were mist.  And our weapon of choice is a backpack full of 80 pound large serrated discs.  I don't know why...I think our ancestors picked it off of some adventurer that raided some dwarven fortress eons ago, they must of thought it was badass...it's weird.  Well anyway fear the giant buzz saw shuriken for it is our calling card. "

American Thanksgiving is on the last Thursday in November.  Don't ask me why that day was chosen but it has been a federal law since 1942.

Mayor Lincoln started it, actually, the 1942 law is because Mayor FDR wanted to move it from Opal to Moonstone to lengthen the winter Trade Depot season and the Miner's Guild complained.

For example, if you stick a wooden sword in a magma man, will it catch fire?

If a wooden sword falls in a magma man, will he make a sound?

[Aqizzar]

For example, if you stick a wooden sword in a magma man, will it catch fire?

If a wooden sword falls in a magma man, will he make a sound?

A short crackling sound, followed by the hiss of your hand evaporating.

[Neonivek]

Well maybe the opposite will happen. Maybe the magma man will freeze solid from the temperature of the wooden sword and hand

Which I guess, since the game doesn't do frozen solid, the Magmaman will shatter

[Aqizzar]

That is not how physics works and you know it.

[Neonivek]

That is not how physics works and you know it.

Isn't it? Thermodynamics? The Magmaman transfers enough of his heat to the sword and hand that his core temperature drops to the point where the magma solidifies.

Then the game's fact that "Cold damage" is all the same will shatter the magmaman.
