yeah? I'm a smart person,
fetching the toad to stop your spamming.

Actually, you just have to ask nicely. I was trying to get some general weirdness into this thread, but if you don't like it, I'll just stop.

Nice work, The Master, now you scared it away. Shame on you for opposing general weirdness.

[The Master]

...you're very strange life forms, letting the troll baby grow up to be a big troll. You have to kill it before it kills you!

[rridgway]

........Anyway, how goes the fort?

[Reudh]

Hey Stuzang, honey baby, how have you been?

Lord Reudh, your babbling babe!

[MagmaMcFry]

The one time you finally manage to scare away a troll and it isn't even a real one.
But we're on the Bay12 forums, so it's natural to be afraid of something you've never seen before. Apology accepted.

Brilliant stuff so far, I especially like Strategia's Stuzang reprisal.  Have you guys plotted out much of the backstory yet?  I've been meaning to contribute, but I'm sort of developing a game and my time's been spent very painfully slowly learning sprites and chiptunes.  Makes you realize why DF is ASCII.

Thank you I got the idea of a multiverse-devouring abomination after some people were talking about rifts in reality and such, then I re-read Battlefailed and Failcannon, realised the precedent had already been set, and decided to tie it all together, Battlefailed, Failcannon, Hellcannon and the metaplot.

Spoiler: Meta-metaplot stuff, completely OOC and spoiler-y (click to show/hide)

I actually took the name of the Foul One from your stories about the gods. The bit about killing Stuzang, weakening the Foul One and erecting the (imperfect) tachyon shield around Hellcannon (which may be the reason why the fortress survived extinction, come to think of it) was meant as a beginning-of-the-end kind of thing, with hooks for advancing the metaplot and eventually killing/driving off the Foul One before it becomes a huge plot tumor like the whole Parasol Corp ^{(thanks Mego, I forgot what its actual name was)} thing in Syrupleaf. I specifically avoided actually killing the Foul One, it still needs some more time to develop, but the die has been cast, so to speak, the Rubicon has been crossed. Reintroducing it and then killing it off in the same turn would feel wrong, the whole thing about killing Stuzang and erecting the tachyon shield already feels like it's creeping towards Mary Sue territory, hence why I tried to justify "my" spirit falling through the cracks, and finding others like him who'd wound up there in quieter times and had had no reason to do anything at all, by now having degraded to vague inactivity. I initially intended to do more with the quantum mechanics aspect, but I sort-of forgot halfway through, which is why the talk about mesons and baryons and such hardly appears between then and the end. I don't know who's behind the Stuzang account, it isn't me (and I think it's better if I don't know, I just wanted to clarify that).

I got a few lines into that and then couldn't focus on the rest because you said

Master, how goes your savescum alternate timeline of the fortress?

[The Master]

Going good, so far nothing bad has happened, and a journal is out of the question because of this.

Not being able to do a journal because nothing is going wrong gives a great impression of Battlefailed.

Err, that sounded better in my head. Because we're so used to reporting all the bad stuff that happens, when things go right for a change, we're completely lost on how to do logs. Yeah, that came out better.

The Forgotten Beast Murphy has come! A huge skinless lizard. It has external ribs and it squirms and fidgets. It hunts those who taunt it. Beware its deadly law!

I saw "Forgotten Beast" and flipped out. Fucking Swordthunders.

Now who's cross-threading?  And after the first two attempts, I'm surprised you didn't make all seven starting dwarves militia-types to assault the FB's and miscellaneous horrors lurking in that fortress.

[Mego]

Crossthreading? Oh, you haven't seen the light yet...

[Groveller]

Question is, where is its soul?

I'm expecting it to put on a disguise, or possess some other fort.

'Course, it'll have to make an account (like Stuzang did) before it can ask to be put on a permanent re-forting list.
