on the turn list Seth's name is actually glowing

which i feel is pretty appropriate

Yeah, it is.

   I dunno what to say, overwhelmed..  Thank you all, everyone on this forum is awesome and it's a privilege to write here.  I'm glad the turn was enjoyable, I had fun.  I'll be more communicative about the fort's status next time.

i'm downloading the fort now, let's see how far i can get today

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I checked the fort again, I freed the new dining room moving tables around and didn't actually reassign it.  If you want the adamantine, it's by the forges level (F6 I think) to the southwest, if you channel a tile into the magma sea nearby it should reveal itself.  I went down three levels without hitting HFS but I didn't go past that.

Make Failcannon great!  I'm really hoping Led shows up without dropping dead of old age.  So many possibilities.  If you make a single paved adamantine road you might cover architecture and roads value in one move.

nyone else thinks that it needs to be animated?

There needs to be animations of all the epic forts, in our time as well as in the past. Boatmurdered, Headshoots, Syrupleaf, Nist Ahnk, Battlefailed and Artendikes.

If done right it would be legend.

Me and Seth are tied for most posts for a turn.

Now that I said that someone is probably going to try do more.

Requesting dorfing as axedwarf!

Seth, you are an amazing story teller, using the medium of Dwarf Fortress to the max. I wouldn't even be posting here if it weren't for your skill. You don't need to apologize, as you did nothing wrong; quite the opposite! That turn was sheer awesome and insanely fun to read. I guess I just want to say... thanks for playing and giving us such great entertainment!

EDIT: I am kinda sad that now Derm's kickarsery is non-ish cannon. Just have to find some other Cthulhus to punch out, Derm ;3.

Oh fuck, I just reread the ending of Battlefailed while listening to this, and now I have to ask if anyone else thinks that it needs to be animated?

I could think of better music to accompany the epicness.

Anyway, it is a very good idea. I don't think it would be suitably atmospheric if done in Flash or some other sort of colorful computer animation tool. Pencil-drawn stop-motion would be ideal, in my opinion. Another option is a slideshow of faux engravings (that one would heavily depend on the music to set the mood)... or real engravings if someone was in the mood to spend months or possibly years working on that. In any case, there would have to at least one skilled artist in the creative team.

"or real engravings if someone was in the mood to spend months or possibly years working on that."

Megaproject for the fort: sculpt the history of the Battlefailed and FailCannon. You could dig out a different frame of animation on each z-level.

Considering it'll soon be Christmas, I suggest we give him a posting deadline of before christmas - Because, you know, we'll probably not be around for a few days afterwards.

[MagmaMcFry]

Posting to follow.

Also, dorf me.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Christmas will be the last day of Mountain-King's reign.

[Mountain-King]

as you may have guessed i am going to be unable to do this

i am really sorry for the delay

[Urist Imiknorris]

Understandable. Sending PM.

[Oglokoog]

Wouldn't it be better to just postpone everything until (at least) January first? I doubt anyone is going to be able to play this week.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Yeah, let's.

Fortress will reconvene on New Year's Day.

[breadbocks]

Wow. I didn't think this would get to me. I've totally forgotten about this thread. So.. tomorrow begins the reign of capatain no clue what has happened.
