Eric: What issues are you having with the fort?

He's talking about problems with Minecraft mods, nothing about the fort. If the save file already has another game-breaking issue, then I say it's proof that the gods want us to stop. Yeah, fuck that.
Also, Ill just presume nobody wants to see me talk about us all playing chicken with black holes.

[Eric Blank]

Playing chicken with black holes sounds like a reasonable sport for inclusion in a sci-fi fantasy...

I wasn't having any specific issues with the fort besides kobolds+zombies=OH CRAP.

I just fear for the first time we get an evil-weather affected titan/FB. (I don't think we have husking weather, but I might be wrong).

(incidently, how many worlds had to be genned to get a good set of evil weather? Mine have pretty lame :-/).

[Teneb]

Sidenote: I think my request (and a dorf) for a turn fell off the list ...

I knew I had missed something. Could you quote/repost your dwarfing request? I can't seem to find it.

The Bronze Colossus Perngvir Anzr has come! A gigantic magic statue made of bronze and bent on mayhem.
The Bronze Colossus is caught in the fetid muck!
Perngvir Anzr, Bronze Colossus is slain.....
The Bronze Colossus shudders and begins to move!

Oh god, if a titan or somesuch appears on the map, and then goes gonzo, then... we are truly fucked. That's all there is to say about it.
You know what? I will post the stupid black hole example, no matter how silly it seems to me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This fortress, nay, all of the fortresses of the Battlefailed saga are essentially us all playing chicken with massive black holes. It's like, someone here researches to find the most large and unstable piece of spacetime motherfuckery they possibly can, then he goes and tries to get as many friends as he can convince to go with him, and it end up being a lot of friggin' people. And then, they all pitch in money to rent a space party cruiser, because it's the future, and they have those, and then we all go to the black hole and proceed to have the greatest fucking party in the history of the universe, while shuffling around who get's to be at the cruisers wheel playing chicken with this massive black hole. All the while, we keep throwing crap into the black hole, taunting it with our mad partying, until eventually we end up in the Event Horizon, and get sucked in, causing the black hole go critical, and absorb everything in the entire universe. And then we do it all over again, with a black hole that also has something even more treacherous surrounding it, because why the fuck not.

...Okay, I know that sounds incredibly fucking stupid, but I just wanted to put that out there.

I didn't actually gauge the level of horror of the syndrome-causing weather, and I probably should have increased the # of varieties significantly. measuring the horror of the world's syndromes would require that I extract the raw data for the random-generated creatures and such, which I don't know how to do* and would also add yet another level of requirements that must be met before uploading. I genned a world to other specifications (including using a elevation map derived from the old 31.03-31.25 Aluonra saves) and then found the worst possible site in that world that still included a section of land that didn't permit the dead to rise. Overall, it probably took somewhere between 20-30 generations to get everything down, ignoring the ones where I began generation and immediately thought of something else I needed to do beforehand and cancelled it.

*I may have figured it out. Maybe. I need to wait until I get home to try it, though.

That was both beautiful and inspiring. I want to make a movie out of that now.

The world is not ready for Battlefailed: The Movie.

No need to worry. The script writer would go missing about 3 scenes into writing the scripts, citing external issues and pressures not giving him enough time to do the job.

And the back-up screenwriter would just write "FUCK" in giant (gold) letters over every page of the screenplay...

Then there'd be some dangling plot thread about constructing a cannon that never gets resolved...

It was in my post on debugging Horrorfailed on Linux at the end:

Also, this fort has already descneded into madness faster than the last few. Add me to the turn list and to the dorfing list (profession: any engineering/red position if possible, else crossbow, else hammer :-)).

Its three pages back.

Part of me is tempted to try and reclaim Hellcannon since its officially done (it would go nicely with my reclaim of Failcannon save). Then again, I don't think anything can top that ending (not even FAILDAY).

This sounds like the start of something amazing.

Tears, bloodshed, and the intricate conspiratorial machinations of one insane Australian.  We'll win an Oscar for sure!
