you seem to be missing the point, are you sure it was folded a million times by japanese smiths?

edit:had screwed up the link

WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "benign fish" bullshit that's going on in DF right now. Carp deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine carp in Mountainhome for 2,400,000 Dorfbucks (that's about 20 dorfs) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can devour entire sieges with my carp.

Armok spends years working on a single carp and folds it up to a million times to produce the finest fish known to mankind.

Carp are thrice as fast as European fish and thrice as mean for that matter too. Anything a pike can bite through, a carp can bite through better. I'm pretty sure a carp could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical chomp.

Ever wonder why the kobolds never bothered conquering Mountainhome? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined dorfs and their carp of destruction. Even during the siege, goblin soldiers targeted the carp first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Carp are simply the meanest fish that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in DF. Here is the stat block I propose for carp:

[CREATURE:FISH_CARP]
[NAME:carp:carp:carp]
[TILE:224][COLOR:3:0:0]
[LARGE_ROAMING]
[AQUATIC][UNDERSWIM][IMMOBILE_LAND]
[MODVALUE:3]
[GENPOWER:3]
[PREFSTRING:fearsome bite]
[ALL_ACTIVE]
[POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30]
[CLUSTER_NUMBER:5:10]
[BENIGN][MEANDERER][NATURAL]
[PETVALUE:50]
[NOPAIN][NOFEAR][NOEMOTION]
[BODY:BASIC_2PARTBODY:BASIC_HEAD:SIDE_FINS:DORSAL_FIN:TAIL:2EYES:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:bite:bites:1:20:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH]
[ATTACK:SECOND:BYTOKEN:TAIL:slap:slaps:1:2:BLUDGEON][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[SIZE:3]
[MAXAGE:20:30]
[NO_DRINK]
[CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:carp fry:carp fry]
[FAT:1]
[BIOME:RIVER_TEMPERATE_FRESHWATER]
[BIOME:RIVER_TROPICAL_FRESHWATER]
[BIOME:LAKE_TEMPERATE_FRESHWATER]
[BIOME:LAKE_TROPICAL_FRESHWATER]
[STANDARD_FLESH]
[HOMEOTHERM:10067]
[SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:500]
[SPHERE:WAR]
[SPHERE:DEATH]

Now that seems a lot more representative of the destructive power of carp in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Carp need to do more damage in DF, see my new stat block.

Oh lawd, that meme is fantastic. I loved the Macuahuitl one.

[Darvi]

Light sabers for 18$? What a ripoff. I can get ya one for practically nothing.

pfff, somebody needs to update that to .22

A small part of my horde. I need to go garbage pick another bookshelf this spring, so I can unpack the rest from the heaps of boxes in my closet.

[Pandarsenic]

I'll post photos of my short hair soonish. Probably Sunday or Monday.

Also STILL WAITAN ON VECTOR

YEAH YEAH WORKAN ON IT

It's probably at the bottom of a to-do-list, which is as thick as the average dictionary

Actually, it's #5 on tomorrow's to-do list, and I've been trying to find the camera without avail for the past week.

So there.

Fiiiiiiine.

Typical Saturday morning status: bedraggled, been up since 6 AM coding.

I can tell from the pictures that you must have a good work ethic.

Well, I can't waste valuable time I could be coding by turning my room into less of a disaster, could I? 

I'm actually normally pretty OCD about keeping things clean, but this morning was a 'toss all of my laundry in a giant heap in preparation for washing it' day.

[Heron TSG]

Holy crap my laptop has a webcam and I didn't even know it! Cue some picture taking! (plus more evidence that I need a haircut.)

That medal was acquired (by me) about four hours ago at the state-wide knowledge bowl tournament. My team got first, the first time we've even placed in the top 10 in thirty years.

Well done, is that like School Reach?
