Well, at least he's not slowing down the succession fort any.

It's really hard to go slower than 0.

Well we had a little pace for a while.  It's hard to play a fort that actively warps space and time to deter people playing it.

Don't give it ideas, dude. The last thing we, as a species, need is for Swordthunders to figure out how to make time go backwards.

Any ideas how long it'd take for time to go back so far that Swordthunders is no longer sentient, thus being incapable of re-reversing time?

You all turned Swordthunders into a bastion of madness that seems to warp in on itself under its own hatred of sanity.  I'm so happy!

Well, then we'd just go and make Swordthunders again. Endless Groundhog Day loop.

This holds true even if we were able to retain our knowledge of what happens.

Hmmm, maybe if we obsidianized hell it would cooperate...

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

If you guys want, I'd be willing to take a turn and concentrate 100% of my efforts on simply organizing and cleaning up the mess.

As long as this fort has been running, I imagine it's a nightmare of half-finished projects and millions of stones floating around.  I have no problem dedicating a year to the creation and feeding of many atom smashers.  I might even be able to set them up as part of a defensive network of traps depending on how much room there is around the existing defensive structures.

(Don't attempt to answer that.  Down that path lies ... well I was going to say madness but you all run towards madness as if it was made from chocolate and puppies.  Just forget I said anything.)

You're added to the list, you poor soul.  This fort actively resists people trying to play it, so Armok help you.  Honestly though, if there were going to be surface defenses in this hellhole, lava would be the only acceptable option.

Godspeed, Farmerbob. Anything we should tell your next of kin?

(Normally, my reaction to everyone else failing so miserably would be to grab the ravening crime against reality by the horns and sign up for a turn myself, but I have strong moral compunctions against fucking with eldritch forces beyond my comprehension, so I'll just sit here making snide comments.)

If you want something to play with that's... less eldritch in its horrors, have a look at The Spire of Armok in my sig.

That would be a good idea.  This thread is full of delicious quotes.

Part of me is wants to give this another shot, but the rest of me realized it would probably result in something truly horrible happening. 

But what's the worst that could happen?  I mean really?

you Dig into Spearbreakers, linking these two Bastions of insanity, and time-space cluster fuckery and basicaly divide reality as we know it by zero, repeatly, Either that or Sanity would be returned to ThatAussieGuy, and/or Mr Frog...which leads to the same conculsion.  Now if you'll excuse me i'm going back to reading myself deeper into insanity.

Nice story here.  Good Job to ThatAussieGuy, grade A Insanity

I've got a pretty modern machine with 16GB of RAM and a strong video card.  I will need to know what version of DF I will need to acquire to play this save, since I know it's an older than current version, and no computer is going to make the game work right if the code is all wonked up due to mismatched versions.
