On other related news, the demons seem to be… retreating further into the places they own now. They all seem to be assembling in the panic room. All of them. I guess the non-euclidean architecture of HellCannon finally took a toll in their sanity and they panicked. I don’t know if this is awesome or horrific.

Nah, they're just assembling in there to smash furniturethrow an awesome rave party in the best party hall ever concieved of.

Currently updating the archive, a new version should be available in a few hours. Also: Only 11 more pages until we have more pages than Failcannon.

Especially if you consider that it'll be a ‼rave party‼ in the best ‼party hall‼ in the fort.

Shall we start taking bets on how many turns until Hellcannon falls?

[MagmaMcFry]

0

[Eric Blank]

I think 1-2 is a reasonable guess.

I aint paying anyone, though.

[Sinpwn]

Five and a half.

[Dark_T_Zeratul]

I'm gonna go with two. It seems like it could weather another turn, but any more than that and it'll likely be on the upswing.

[Teneb]

It's hard to say how many turns it'll last. Failcannon seemed nearly dead during the loyalty cascade, yet it survived until my rather stable turn when I triggered Failday.

It really depends more on what the overseer does than anything else.

arcangelsd, could you give us any information on the status of the fort, or, if you haven't played since your last post, when you'll be able to get it going again? Hellcannon doesn't deserve to fall off page 1 while it's still alive.

[Mego]

More important than betting on how much longer this abomination will last, we need to pick a name for the next fort, since Hellcannon seems to be drawing to an end (as much as Hellcannon can end). Battlehell gets my vote. Let us continue the cycle.

Battle|failed-> Fail|cannon -> Hell|cannon -> Battle|hell

Then, we will have completed a full 4-fortress naming cycle.

Also we need to take bets on whether or not the fortress will do that thing again where it refuses to die, even with 0 dwarves.

[Dark_T_Zeratul]

I approve of Battlehell.

[CatalystParadox]

I vote for a name with "Fail" in the title - as I believe THAT has been the unifying theme of the series.

Perhaps Hellfailed.

[Eric Blank]

Successfulfailures.

Good news! The new map seed system accepted the old name seed from the original Aluonra and spat out "Aluonra" again!

[Dark_T_Zeratul]

Well, here's the pattern:
Battlefailed -> Failcannon -> Hellcannon

To stick with that, the new fortress should be either "Hell-Something" or "Something-Hell" (and really, now that Hell has been breached, I think it's only fitting, too). If we wanna cap off the "series" we could come full circle and call it Battlehell. Otherwise, we can continue the progression and make the "Something" something other than Battle, Fail, or Cannon.

Everyone is still alive, save Deathsword. I think my turn is going to let you down. For now, it has been chock-full of anticlimaxes (<- Is that right?)
Long story short, Kar Puwuncobi made a TPK of the skeletal wildlife. He's quite promising, maybe at the end of my turn we'll have a total badass, in Hellcannon.
Let's see!

TOO SOON. The clowns are in the first cavern level now.

[Eric Blank]

And how did they get there?
