Screampacks. Dwarves repelled, once again. Only 4 cats lost!
« on: December 07, 2009, 12:08:33 am »

Note: This game is using a recently released version of my Cat Splosion mod. Download today!

The town of Screampacks lies near the border of the territory of the Bites of Troubling. Once a bustling village full of feline border spirit, it is now a ghost town, inhabited only by wild animals and the spattering of filthy trees that have sprung up in the absence of civilized cultivation.

This is, initially, the story of seven possibly brave cats who undertook the mission of resettling Screampacks. It began in the year 301, when after a long and tiring journey they finally laid their wagon to rest. A town full of mystery, intrigue, and gory gory death lay ahead of them, waiting.

Sign up to be assigned a victim! Choose what name you want your cat to have, which cat you want, and what you want the custom profession name to be.

Starting 7:
'Frogwarrior' Burn Plaitedmelted (M) Judge of Intent 1 / Appraiser 1 / Miner 0 (Frogwarrior)
'Torture' Torture Burstnight, Bonearmorer (M) Bonecarver 0 / Bowyer 2 / Other crafting professions 0 (darkflagrance)
'Linda' Thunder Combatfought, Master Chef (F) Trapper 2 / Other food professions 0 (Spartan 117)
'Bengali' Claw Thrownscour, Thundercat (M) Armorsmith 5 / Leatherworker 3 / Construction-related professions 0 (zefnab)
'Natalie' Shred Laborlightnings, Death From Above (F) Ambusher 1 / Markscat 0 (tehstefan)
'Amalgam' Tusk Graspsear, Killer (M) Wrestler 5 / Armor User 5 (Amalgam)
'100killer9' Spike Stabbedbleached, Stray Cat (Tame) (F) Wrestler 5 / Armor User 5 (100killer9)


Rules I will attempt to adhere to:
With the exception of the trinkets scattered around the town on embark and maybe the starting leather armor and copper blowgun, nothing will be traded that I didn't make or improve.
I'll try to keep it relatively low-tech. No masterwork steel armor and weapons. I might, eventually, maybe, have some iron or even steel, but mostly not. Things will be built out of wood if at all possible. Etc.
That's all I can think of for now.

I'd like to claim:

Claw Thrownscour (M) Armorsmith 5 / Leatherworker 3

Name: Bengali
Occupation: Thundercat

If there isn't much armor or leather related jobs available, mining or mechanics is also good.

I'll take Torture Burstnight the Bonearmorer.

Just name me Torture.

I'd like to become a Bonecarver as well as bowyer. It seems all those things go hand in hand: Bone blowpipes, Bone darts, Bone armor, the bones of the enemies left over after a day of delicious slaughter...

I'll take Tusk Graspsear. Name, "Amalgam." Profession, "Killer."

This bad kitty uses his claws. Armor's okay though, no shield. I'm aware of how suicidal that is ;D

So, uhh, how does this work? Do they have opposable thumbs? Or is this one of those things you shouldn't think too hard about? Ahh well. This is going to be awesome. ;D

I think the grasp tag is in their mouths, so they can never use shields.

darkflagrance is correct; technically a wrestler can use a shield, but then the only thing they can do is bash people over the head with it.

Amalgam, I'm afraid your cat's main weapon will be his frothing, cruelly-fanged jaws - I hope you're OK with that ;)

Also, I approve of the profession "Killer" - on my usual cat embarks, the obligatory combat-cat I usually call that. I'm doing something different this time in that I have not one but THREE combat cats. We'll see how it works...

I'll take spike. I'd like the profession "stray cat".
Edit: and can the name include numbers? If so, 100killer9 will be the name. If not...
Uhh... Catsup?

Numbers work fine. Do you want me to add (Tame) at the end of the profession to make it more confusing? :P



Anyway, I'll have a first update soon. Anyone who wants to claim the trapper / foodsmith, feel free - otherwise, you'll have to wait a whole year for migrants.

Zifnab, my cat will be handed the job of mining, but I think I'll give yours woodcutting duty. Gotta get fuel for that forge somehow, y'know. ;)

Any preference for nickname? (I'm assuming Master Chef would be the profession name)

Yes. Add (tame). Of course, this obviously means that spike is a rogue cat. She has gone astray in life. However, she is relatively tame, and isn't violent to other cats (unless tantruming or insane). Don't confuse this with being a housecat.
And make her a carpenter, if she's acwoodcutter.

The woodcutter comment was directed at someone earlier in the thread; yours is one of the two military cats.

Spartan, I'll see what I can do - but you'll have to compete with Natalie for archery time... :P
