Oooh, Surprise.
« on: March 10, 2010, 09:33:13 pm »
So, I just got the announcement that a caravan had a arrived, so I bustled around, getting the small amount of goods to my trade depot, and such, but the caravan never came. The Liason did (Stayed a long time too), but no caravan. I didn't think much of it until I was scouting for some hematite and saw a particular symbol on the ground. Hello various steel and GCS goods. There was also some gold in there...

 Well, on my unit list, I got a lot of various chasm creatures and some magma pipe creatures, but they wouldn't be on the mountain, so it was probably some ferocious Mountain goats, Llamas, Rabbits, or Geese.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I think you can rule out a GCS attack, else you would see everything covered in webs, and I assume by GCS goods you mean socks and cloth. Caravans also reveal ambushes, and that includes GCS that were hidden before fighting.

This is strange, caravans are protected with nice soldiers, but if there's only one pile of goods then only one wagon was destroyed, and that's enough to get them to turn around and run. It might just be possible a stray fireball from an imp got the wagon, burned it down, and then the imp ran, but that seems unlikely if the magma pipe is far away.

What kind of statues are your masons making, that you think they have "maximum exposure"?

Magnify that image.

Oh, dear god, it is a GCS. ...Wait. It can't be it. That spider looks terrified.
Magnify the image on its eyes.
Now magnify on the reflection in the GCS's eyes.

...Holy shit, it's a zombie carp.

Zoom in on the zombie carp.
A finger print? Run it through the database.
Osama Bin Ladens finger print is on a zombie carp?
Zoom in on the thumbprint.
There seems to be an image on one of the skin particles that left the finger print, zoom in on it.
My god, it's a picture of a second gunman on the grassy knoll. Wait, he seems to have a water bottle.
Zoom in.
It's a license plate, run the numbers.
Dear lord, those plate numbers belong to Hitler. Open reference files on Hitler.
Zoom into the crowd in this Hitler speech video.
Oh christ, Elves.

Perhaps some pathing mistake that got the wagon stuck in some terrain feature? They sometimes blow up when stuck... You'd get crazy beasts of burden after some months though...

I really want that one as a "when". I want "grubs", and "virgin woman" to turn into a dragon. and monkey children to suddenly sprout wings. And I want the Dwarven Mutant Academy to only gain their powers upon reaching puberty. I also have a whole host of odd creatures that only make sense if I divide them into children and adults.

Also, tadpoles.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
