which you'd need some suitable merchant skill (be it Observer or Negotiation) to spot beforehand.

try judge of intent

Excellent choice, but that's for picking up clues based on looking at the trader. There might be a scenario where the trader doesn't know a conman set him up beforehand so that the goods/currency he's giving is fake. Then you'd need a separate skill to recognise that you'd be ripped off if you go through with the deal.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Hi, I've been running a tournament of sorts using the Arena Mode in Dwarf Fortress.  I'm wondering whether the testing arena will ever be expanded upon to include skill levels beyond grand master, quality modifiers for weapons/armor/shields, quivers, etc.?  The testing arena has already been a great boon for players learning the game mechanics, hunting down bugs, and just generally having fun.

Yeah, being able to adjust the quality of the equipment in the arena would be very nice.

Oh yeah I forgot that skill exists because it levelled up too easily in fortress mode. Yes, that will do fine together with judge of intent to see whether you get ripped off or not.

A good counterpart to the JoI skill could be liar.
Toady, If the number of skills used for adventure mode go higher, will you add a scrollbar to the skill menu or will skills be sorted out between eachother in different menu's?

I'll be upfront and ask this (although I am putting it in a spoiler because it could spoil things, which is not very upfront and I apologize for the contradiction)...

Is there a limit to how many ghosts can exist at a time?

But there arn't any ghosts as it is anyway.

At least I don't think there is, because if they are I REALLY need to read the logs.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

Try leaving a dwarf to rot for a while in the latest version. ;)

Goodness, I feel almost like something really cool has just been spoiled and should have had a spoiler tag.

Toady doesn't put things in the logs if he doesn't want to spoil them.

To be fair, you were basically asking.

Oh, was that a sarcastic hint to spoiler my post? The reason I didn't at first was because I didn't know that

were spoilers. Since they evidently are, I'll go back and fix that.

...Actually, the rest of you should as well. Otherwise it'll be quite obvious what we're discussing.

It *was* strongly hinted at in the logs. Multiple times, IIRC. Besides, anyone reading this thread and/or the devlog is probably not the 'oh noes it's been spoiled!' type.

Although that's true, it is impolite to ruin the experiences of others. I'd rather be safe than sorry, y'know?
