[Jurassiced]

highest place jumped from? most days completed with missing limbs? most/uber megabeasts tamed in fortress mode? and dam good topic btw

[ March 28, 2008: Message edited by: jurassiced ]

[Kyselina]

Why don't you just build the highest tower, retire and jump from it?

[Sowelu]

"Largest amount of kittens" is going to be a very broad tie.  It's capped at something like 50 per animal type, right?

Actually come to think of it, if (kittens+cats) <= 50, that might be a worthwhile challenge after all.

[Asheron]

Well, then I suppose it's kittens+cats+dogs+puppies+camels+....
That might be a little bit more of a challenge... zoo tycoon, anyone?    

And Kyselina, you could do that, but jumping off mountains into deep pits is accepted too ( and a little bit easier )

Umiman: I'm going to add "best outfitted adventurer". Getting the highest value out of your armour with decorations is not that hard to max out, but it will be a challenge.

[ March 28, 2008: Message edited by: Asheron ]

[umiman]

Put the catagory: best outfitted adventurer there because I'm going to win it.

 :cool:

[Asheron]

Isn't anyone interested in posting records? =(
I'll start ahead, longest living fortress: Takrupan, my story fortress. ( Tale of the Death ), 1 year old  

[Kyselina]

Ummmm, then I can jump into chasm which is infinite?

[Akroma]

most historical figures killed in adventure mode

[Asheron]

Kyselina: Well, the place you jump from counts, so chasms don't really help.
                   
This masterfull created paint document should help:      

Akroma: added

[Sean Mirrsen]

First, please spell Boromir right.

Now, awards.
Basejumper award - highest survived jump. In vanilla DF. Jumping into water would count, but only the height to water level.

"Little Merdwarf" award - most time spent underwater.

The Heart of Gold award - most improbable event. For example, being savagely killed by the wife of the elite bowman you killed in a town on the other side of the continent.

The Black Knight award - best feat achieved with all four primary appendages missing.

The Darwin award (it had to happen) - the most stupid thing done by an adventurer. Like getting the shield arm broken, and deciding to "stay a while longer" in a cave with GCS.

The Fellowship award - most quests completed with at least 7 companions, all of them alive. At least 1 companion of each of the primary races must be present.

The "Please Fix the Randomizer" award - most consecutive hits to the same bodypart, including different enemies.

The Sonic award - collects as many rings of precious metals as possible.

The Pitch Black award - most kills while completely blind.

The Purple Heart award - most numerous and severe wounds received before killing an enemy. Dying before the enemy dies does not count.

The Double Cross award - most companions killed with own hands.

The Tug of War award - most weapons carried.

The Goofy Golfer award - largest distance an enemy gets sent flying.

The Captain America award - most enemies killed with thrown shields.

The Giganscudo award - most enemies killed in melee while wielding two or more shields.

The Power of Rule award - most enemies killed with a golden scepter. (very specific, but I'm running out of ideas here)

The Barrett award - largest distance that a thrown/shot object is used from to kill an enemy.

...

Alright, I'm out of ideas for now.

Artifact adamantine warhammers send those enemies a looooooong way.

Yeah, I was gonna ask to try for the Goofy Golfer award, just as soon as I could find a place with enough open space so as not to have obstacles for the enemy to slam into before they stopped.

[Asheron]

Sean: Borimir?? I'll go have myself run over by some elephants.
     Anyway, suggestions added.

Tayrin: Go ahead, I suggest a desert. Giant scorpion + artifact adamantine warhammer : prehistoric spoetnik

I'll throw in another award.

"Four-leaf cleaver" award (no typo there): Worst luck.

And a story that would be a contender, if it were not with my MA mod, and long lost. I just recently remembered it.

I was playing a PlayNow! drider, visiting a previously built darkelven fortress. The fortress was in a mildly warm temperate region, water was plenty (too plenty) and never froze. I've made a nice trade depot on the first underground level of a hill, then more stuff underground. I wanted a fancy irrigation project and a well, but the latter backfired (forgot about how incospicuous U-bends can be) and flooded most of the fort. Everyone drowned, except a few on-break workers (eventually drowned too, one drowned because a pet jaguar opened the room door) and a pair of traders with their mules that were locked inside the trade depot (had to do it after they refused to trade, and I needed the stuff they brought), though the water had not reached there when I abandoned.

So, the drider, being skillless and without equipment, decided to try and get the equipment provided by the traders that would now be dead. He went into the fort, and climbed down the stairs, only to be met by a chest-high level of water that prevented him from exiting until he learned to swim. In a desperate attempt to survive, the drider strode against the current, and finally reached the only piece of dry floor in the fort - the trade depot. The traders and their stuff were there, but were of no use. The adventurer had to learn to swim ASAP.

After a few attempts to strain himself trying to wade outside the room and train that way, he understood that he needed something different. So he focused on trying to let enough water into the room to safely learn swimming. After a few hours, he succeeded, though the current kept pushing him away and the door shut. Having achieved that, he began training, extending his lung capacity so that he can manage the trip along the corridor to the stairs up that he knew were free from water. A full day passed. The skill had already built up, but the adventurer had to sleep so that he could regain the necessary strength.

Waking up in his watery cell, he decided. It was time. With a swift motion, he opened the room door, and plunged into the current of water. He strode and strode, finding each stroke more difficult as his body ran out of oxygen. At last he was at the stairs!...

...

The stairs were sealed in a solid block of ice.

In all the time of the fort's existence, water had never frozen for so much as a brief moment. Even as the drider's vision dimmed and life left him, dawn broke outside. Several minutes after his lifeless body settled on the dungeon floor, the stairs thawed.
