Blargh. Just got back from a school competition that involved me taking numerous difficult tests on 5 hours of sleep. You'll get your damn update tomorrow. As for right now, I'm sleeping.

Davros might have something to say about that.

Destroyer of Worlds? I take that as a compliment.

Ugh why can I not sleep?

In Soviet Russia, sleep go to you!

Placeholder post for my update when I finish it.

It seems the dwarf I had claimed in 33 is a ghost in 35. This will make naming difficult. Oh well, I'll roll with it.

Diary of Mego, Chaos Crafter

1st Granite, 33

To celebrate the end of the siege, I organized a party with the military of the fortress. I'm on my way there now.

6th Granite, 35

Man, what the HELL was in that drink? I feel like I've been asleep for ages, and I can't even tell where my body is.

Oh, wait. It's over there, being transparent and floating around.

Shit. I'm dead again. Perhaps this whole permanent-possession thing isn't so great. From now on, I'll just be taking over various people for short periods of time. Starting with this guy:

First things first. There's another siege, which means there's only one proper way to respond:

As soon as I gave the order, a panting messenger ran to me, screaming something about an important dignitary from the Mountainhomes.

Damnit, can't they see I'm busy? Whatever, I requested more iron, bronze, steel, and meat, and sent him on his way. Hope I didn't miss anything!

While I was waiting on the military to finish training or whatever they were doing, I noticed a fine pair of guantlets on one of them, and decided I wanted more. So, as mayor, I issued a mandate.



There, the first update with the proper save. For some reason, rather than mercilessly slaughtering every enemy in sight, the military prefers to hang around the barracks not moving for 6 days. Whatever, as long as I get my gauntlets.

Yay updates!..
But your images are broken.
Now they work.

Well shit. They were working when I first edited the post. I never saved them to my hard drive, because Fedora 15 gives you the option to directly upload them to Zimagez. I'll dig around and see if I can find them hidden somewhere.

EDIT: Found them hiding in my /tmp folder, and fixed the broken images. Woo!

OH GOD THE TEXTURE PACKS!!! THEY BURN! THEY BURN!!!!

[Mego]

I can't use the default tileset. It hurts. Plus, I'm colorblind, so differentiation between different tiles is even more difficult. Phoebus' graphics solve both problems.

Oh my armok…



What in the world just happened?

One moment ago, all the animals were in their cages, nice and safe from the extremities of the outside world.
Next thing I know, I hear a loud *CREEEEAAAAAK* followed by the chaotic cries of dwarves and animals as 16 cages simultaneously open themselves.

Beak wolf hunters (they look like giant ugly wingless birds), goblins, rhesus macaques, and a massive minotaur all come stampeding about in the zoo now gone crazy.

Oh, I see one of my traps went off as planned!

I see you also forgot to check on my dwarf. (she went insane, that's why I stopped early)

And nobody fell into my second trap, I see.

your trap JUST now went off? rofl.  Delayed trap ftw!  I wonder if he's noticed my trap yet...albeit mine kind of sucks cause of poor planning.  If mine DOES go off then this fortress is one a very rapid downward slide...

Sorry for the lack of updates - I've been swamped with school work these last few days. I should have enough of a break tomorrow to do an update.

[Mego]

With utmost sincerity, I must apologize for failing to keep the commitment of my turn. Too much stuff has sprung up with school, and as a result, I don't have the time to play Dwarf Fortress right now. Perhaps at a later time I will be able to take a turn. But, for now, I ask that I be skipped.

[Din182]

Mekboy's turn. I'll message him.

[Din182]

How much longer do we give him?
