I want some elephant soap now.

Also, hopefully the topic picks up again. It's been real fun reading this.


Now that I mention it... I'll do some art. Any suggestions on what to do it on?

[Dermonster]

Just read it. Extremely sad that it is sorta dead for a bit? Would like a dwarf when it picks back up.

Don't really care what it is, as long as he gets screentime. Maybe military, they get a lot. Derm (lastnamegoeshere), [Soulchopper] likes Axes!

[Conan]

I've read the whole topic, but I don't know exactly what's the best stuff to do pictures from.




Also if this picks up again, I'd like to be a hammerdorf.

Zephyr, your writing is excellent. I really enjoyed the story of Soaplanterns and the premise of the fortress.

Best of luck with the computer. FWIW, it sounds like overheating to me - and that is often simply dust accumulation or a broken fan, either of which are usually easy to fix.

Is Soaplanterns dead forever? So sad...

[Hitty40]

I don't know, just PM'd him a few days ago. No reply.

[jaxy15]

He hasn't been on in 16 days. I sure hope he hasn't succumbed to infection.

Remember those that are worried, he did say that his computer has been having problems and that he's not the best with computers. Often what that equates to is getting a new computer, as those that don't know much about computers have a hard time figuring out what parts they can replace or even just clean off to make the computer work better again. If he is going the route of getting a new computer that means spending a good chunk of change. While some people have enough money to buy a new computer at the drop of the hat, others need to shift their financial plans around and wait a bit to make sure they get a good computer without hurting themselves in the long run. Also keep in mind that some people only get paid every 2 weeks and not every week, and if he's not been on in 16 days that's only 1 or 2 pay checks toward fixing or getting a new computer. He's not likely to to just stop doing other things that he does with his money, so I would give him at least a month to gather money together. Extension on that time if he is a student or other type of person with low income and high expenses.

Only after that time should you really even consider entering panic mode. Before that time you should just be in "polite concerned worry for a fellow gamer" mode.

[Conan]

so tl;dr he just needs more time to fix/get a new computer.

If he gets a new computer then he'll need to somehow recover the save. Hopefully the problem wasn't too serious...

[Rurik]

I read this within a day after finding it and the current state of affairs is certainly a shock. I hope you'll get things fixed, Zephyr, because your writing is superb and the story is awesome. I love it how you intermingle evil omens with absurdly sympathetic simple dwarfs who only want to make soap. The outcome is comedy, but it is the kind of that makes you feel for the characters. I really like those soap makers and I hope things turn out for them as well as they can in the dwarven world.

And of course I hope you can resume the tale of Soaplanterns someday too!

Ok, due to lack of posting and inactivity from Zeph, I am offcially declaring this fort dead and thread closed. Please do not post any further.
