While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

[Eltain]

I am never included as a dwarf or NPC in anything, Daft.

 

[Terrance888]

I have 23 unnamed dorfs. Any preference?

 

[Eltain]

Eltain 1-23 squeal

 

[qoou]

Finally got around to this: actual maps of this succession fort.

Year 1 (noob)
Year 2 (Luckymoose) (ugh graphics pack compatibility)

 

[JohannaK]

I want to be in any of these AARs. Sounds fun.

 

[Optical]

I have 23 unnamed dorfs. Any preference?

I want one!

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Me too!

 

[Terrance888]

I have resolved to not join any new NESes.

Also, going to start this session of DF in about 30 minutes, so hop on over to neschat for live updates of hilarity!

 

[Tycho]

I would like a dwarf be named after me, though in all likelihood, it will be crushed, boiled alive, killed, maimed, or otherwise tormented before one year ends.

 

[Terrance888]

Anyway, I am ALMOST done with my HW. Game starts "imminently".

 

[Luckymoose]

I am never included as a dwarf or NPC in anything, Daft.

That is not true.

 

[Eltain]

Let me correct that. It is uncommon for anyone to inform me or otherwise make public that I have been selected as a test subject/NPC/dwarf, and rarely do exploits of my mini-me's adventures make it to the public's eye.

 

[spryllino]

Well, I never get included as a dwarf or anything in anything.

 

[Luckymoose]

Well, I never get included as a dwarf or anything in anything.

That is a lie. I have used every NESer's name in my forts.

Granite 1. Spring, 253
Decisions: Expand Workshops, Plug holes in Aqueduct, order furniture
Disgraceful, so many dwarves out of work
Damn, a cat was adopted by the Catalonian JoanK. At least some of the kittens are being slaughtered on time.
Over the should of dying kittens, the inescapable slime begins falling one more
Employment quickly rises as the number of kittens fall!
3rd Granite
Within a few days, five kittens were slaughtered. Their mewing death cries are music to my ears. The farmers arrive with their plight-there is a lack of seeds. I conscript several to double our brewing capacity.
AS the number of corpses rise, the number of idle workers fall.
Crezth also created a masterpiece.
4th Granite
Praise ARMOK! The new Butchery Hall is completed! MWAHAHA! BONE CRAFTS FOR ALL!
7th Granite
We have too many workers! Even after opening new workshops and filling them with orders, TWENTY SEVEN still roam!
Also, pulling random lever by front gate. FOR THE MOUNTAINHOMES. Huh, just a bridge. Since i have no idea how to time caravans, I will leave it down for now
I have designated new bedrooms. The hauling will surely take care of unemployment.
8th Granite
I have enabled some new cooks to handle the tallow. I have thusly reserved the kitchen for making roasts for myself.
13th Granite
BLOOD GNATS EVERYWHERE!!!
Loudbot also gave birth to a girl. She should be known as Louderbot
14th Granite
Praise the miners! We have struck native gold! I will order immediate contraction and commission a statue of yours truly!
Water is flowing all over the place. I am truly confused at what is join ton and will resolve to simply leave it alone.
18th Granite
Exploratory mining finds Cobaltite, more gold, Galena and more such goodies! However, we lack fuel, and thus I suspend exploitation, athlough not further exploration. I must have my golden statue!
Flying chicken seems to have found a job for himself as a planter.
21th Granite
After a visit from the Lucky Moose, I have ordered the cursed waterwheel to reinitiate turning as well as other duties. The high rate of unemployment bothers me. Luckymoose again won the election as Expedition Leader, but in his drunk speech he gave me the control of the fort.
28th Granite
Lucy the Clother is possessed! She takes over a clothing shop and begins badgering the rest of us for items. Hopefully we have all she needs, but just in case I ordered walls to be built around it, and a door to be installed with a stiff lock.
That same day, Das gave birth to a boy.
I have yet to consider what my legacy shall be.

2nd Slate
Several dwarves fell into the slimy river. I order the construction of several stairs.
Then I fond out that the mister worked too well! The entire first floor is flooded. Damn the noob!
Dozens of dwarves are giving birth at the sight of all that water.
WORTHLESS! All the food is rotten!
7th Slate
While dwarves drown, Immaculate, who was the cleanest of us all, organized a party. I approve of his humor.
Luchy has created Shar Nirmek, an alpaca wool robe! Why do I care? The "Mile of Defense"? Hilarious!
9th Slate
It seems that Milarqui was too stupid to climb up the stairs his fellow workers used to save themselves from the river. No more lives will be risked! I will commission a burial slabe and install it in the mosuleum.
14th Slate
Wohoo, pupies!
15th Slate
Migrants!
16th Slate
Lucky says we need the mists to clean the slime
17th Slate
OH GOD THE FRONT GATE IS FLOODING. LORD IGGY GOT FLUSHED OFF THE BRIDGE
19th SLATE
LORD IGGY IS DEAD. DEAD!!!
20th
DAMNIT, THOMAS IS ABOUT TO TANTRUM, SMOOTH DWARFS! SMOOTH THE STONES!
13th Felsite
The Elves are here.
It hurts my dwarfhood, but I am glad to see them here.
Sunshine wine would definatley be good for morale.
18th Felsite
For a few handfuls of damp eggs, they traded us the useful half of the caravan!
How such a idiotic species can survive is beyond me.
20th Felsite
SNATERCHER! PROTECT THE CHILDREN!
As soon as he showed his face, he got peppered by our countless and formerly useless hunters. Praise them!
Three more showed up, but we showed THEM up! All killed. FOR ARMOK!
23rd Felsite
Goblin thieves distract our troops, when an ambush sprouted! I quickly recruit our most useless adept migrants sin to the Militia
It was hilarious, the goblins and dwarves chased each other, vomiting over each other in their nausea!
24th Hemetate
Stormbringer leads his new squad of incompetents in drill while we dig new workshops and an archery range
3rd Galena
My defensive works continue, with a maze built around our hatch-entrance when, the miracles of miracles: ACTUAL RAIN!
8th Galena
After a near week a rain the weather clears. The world looks much cleaner than before, and it brightens my spirits despite the many deaths that have plagued my reign.
Oh great, another clothier has been possessed!
14th Galena
Cruel Armok. Another shower of filthy slime has drenched everything!
18th Galena
Some Humans have arrived. They were so perturbed by the slime one of them nearly fell off the bridge, then rammed into the wall, unable to move. The merchant refuses to trade until all their wagons have arrived. I have half a mind to deconstruct the depot and "borrow" their goods.

OOC: That is just hilarious.

 

[Nylan]

This is fantastic. I also just finished reading about Boatmurdered. Next semester I will probably start learning to play.

Also, I remember XCOM! What was that thread named the first time you played, Daft?

EDIT: Ah, here it is

 

[Luckymoose]

Boatmurdered is so out of date it isn't worth reading.

 

[Angst]

It's perfectly fun and plentily worth reading.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Announcement on NESLifeV - I've done most of the hard work in updating, but I got a little stuck on writing up the update, and RL concerns are pressing. But it will be updated this week, on my life!

Also, I remember XCOM! What was that thread named the first time you played, Daft?

EDIT: Ah, here it is

Nylan, I believe that thread was closed at the time and thats why it ended - to be fair it wasn't really relevant to NES forum. I just like NESers I may have the save game on my old PC, that will be interesting to see.
