Looks like CatalystParadox is up. I guess that means a loyalty cascade or something similar.

Oh.  And I couldn't figure out what the fuck to do this weekend.

Looks like I'll be ruining Hellcannon.  Good thing I've been paying such good attention.

>.> ... <.<

Downloading now.  May Armok have mercy on your souls.

The miasma caused Sethrist to go miserable and throw a tantrum. During the tantrum he mauled a dog to near-death and that caused his mood to go all the way up to content. Apparently, beating the crap out of dogs is the best way to achieve happiness.

Urgh, every time i try to play it seems to be crashing on me after a few minutes.  Not sure what's going on.  If I can't get this sorted out pretty soon I might need to pass.

Are the crashes only with Hellcannon? Or with any DF save?

I'll download the save and try to see wheter it crashes or not.

I've read the entire series and would love a turn (and a dorf, any engineer (red) position, mechanics prefered if possible).

I've even tried my hand at a reclaim of Failcannon (and successfully managed to get a foothold before the ghosts overrain me. I did get the control room partially unflooded, but the engrave bug makes a reclaim close to impossible short of zapping ghosts with Runesmith (which I think would go against the spirit of failcannon). It was an interesting year before I got obliterated; might have to write it up ...

My guess is it's disliking graphics.  I'll try again either tomorrow or late with the nice raw ASCII graphics and see if that behaves any better.

I tested the save here, and it loaded just fine. DF 0.31.25/Linux.

If there's no errorlog hinting at any problem, I figure DF is eating all your RAM and crashes due to lack of it. Although since I assume most comps have at least 1 GB of RAM, it shouldn't be that either because the game worked just fine for me the whole time, not a single crash.

Eating my RAM seems unlikely, as I have a crapload of it.  I think I've just managed to introduce some kind of RAW error when converting the save to graphics, and when it runs up against it, boom.  I'm going to re-download and try running it without graphics, and see where that gets me.

Results in the next hour or two should tell us whether this will work.


UPDATE:  I think we're a go, folks!  Expect an initial update before the end of the day.

UPDATE 2:  O_O.... two things.  1 - the fort seems impressively not-dead, compared to what I have come to expect based on Failcannon.  2 - where the HELL is everything?!  All I can seem to find are traps, endless stockpiles, tree farms, and gigantic crypts.  I may just give up on trying to understand what has come before and dig my own micro fort, for the sake of my own (hah) sanity.

Last I saw of it, the fort was spread out in a disorderly fashion between the surface and the caverns.

I expect you'll MAKE it dead? :P

Mego; I asked for another turn again quite some time ago. Where am I on that list? I just wanted another chance to start some fires! :(

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Whoops, I knew I was forgetting someone when I updated the turn list. Fixed it now.

What the hell. I just (re?)discovered that I had the updated turn list with yours and Eric's requests all typed up and ready to go in a text document, but didn't ever post it.
