Could you please finish the Project? The last burrow in the list is the plan for the construction. If you wish to continue construction and don't understand the plan, I'll sketch something up in Paint.

If Cignus doesn't mind, I could do it.

[Mormota]

We had this once, best not give people more time than what they're supposed to have.

[arcangelsd]

Okay. Wall of text and save incoming, then.

[Eric Blank]

Hard to publish a newspaper in real time

Cignus must be pm'd!

My cat just puked on me... ew...

[Teneb]

I bet the next sucker sacrifice victim dwarf that tires to slab me will drown. Again. So do it!

Your slab fell to the sea, so, in a sense, it IS in the STFO xD

I got inspired by the thread title:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here, huge success
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Dwarven !!SCIENCE!!
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

Now there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of slade
And the !!SCIENCE!! gets done
And you make a neat pun
For the dwarves who are still alive

I'm not even angry
I'm being most sincere right now
Even though you broke my limbs and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into the ocean
As they sank it hurt because I was so happy for you

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
And I'm GLaD I got hurled
Think of all the things we learned
For the dwarves who are still alive

Go on and leave me
I think I'd rather stay underwater
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you
Maybe The Detective
That was a joke, haha, fat chance
Anyway, this FB is great
He's so undulating and moist

Look at me still talking when there's !!SCIENCE!! to do
When I look up there it makes me GLaD I'm not you
I've experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the dwarves who are still alive

And believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing !!SCIENCE!! and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
And when you're dying I'll be still alive
And when you're dead I'll be still alive
Still alive
Still alive

I call it... Ode to Failcannon.

And now I suppose you want me to sing that or something. You probably don't, but that does give me an idea anyway. May or may not result in something acceptable.

[Eric Blank]

You'd be amazed just how many times that song has been rewritten for dwarf fortress. I think there actually WAS one for failcannon/battlefailed at one point...

[Teneb]

It just gets TOO silly when I try to sing it. Mainly due to my voice and accent. So scratch that.

You got me, the thread title is a reference.

I am actually working on trying to get a decent-sounding version made.

[Urist Imiknorris]

It would need to be sung by a Viking, a Scotsman, and Genghis Khan, all filled with various alcoholic beverages.

[Mego]

I'm fullblood Irish. Is that close enough?

Also, fixed:

I can't believe I screwed up some of the lyrics on one of my favorite songs.

[Darvi]

It would need to be sung by a Viking, a Scotsman,

I'd volunteer for those two except that my heritage has probably been too sullied by middlewestern-european blood.
