No, Murphy's Law dictates that Hellcannon will, in fact, survive!  Somehow, I had logic to back that up, but in the space of typing that first sentence, I've forgotten what it was.  Oh well.

I shall be the first to fall!  On the blood of my many past lives, this I swear!

Well, Murphy's law is "everything that can go wrong, will go wrong." So if we were to define what "go wrong" is: Something "going wrong" is when something happens that is the opposite of what people want. "What people want" is for Hellcannon to go out spectacularly. The remaining domain for "going wrong" would be the fort living or suffering an unspectacular death. Since giant three-eyed hummingbird deathbeasts fall firmly into the category of spectacular, it isn't currently possible for the fort to die an unspectacular death. This means in order to "go wrong" the fort must live.

And all of that implies DF doesn't defy logic. Tut tut.

Also, sorry Eric Blank.  Finally had to give up your awesome quote in my sig.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-h well.

At least I've noted one other quote of mine in someone's signature. Not that I ever say much worth listening to.

Well I did replace it with a rapsheet of all the crimes I've comitted against physics and sapient creatures in DF.

I also had a half-baked idea for the next fort - send the dwarves to The Spire of Armok.  Considering the spiritual involvement of various past overseers and gods, ritual sacrifice to keep the fort alive seems a perfect fit 

That's just me having a chuckle at the thought though.

Nothing could ever be more dwarven than a rapsheet involving everything else that is dwarven reformed into a hideous crime against all known laws of science and nature!

And if there be another installment of the Battlefailed variety, it may as well be on the coasts of the Blueness of Malodors once again. The evil, so horribly evil coasts...

This time with husks and perma-rezing zombies!

Actually, El Presidente isn't a zombie. It happens that he just cannot be bothered by the fact that he should be dead, like, 42 times, and he simply gets back up again and simply walks away.
I think we have achieved a new milestone in dorfyness: making this fort's dwarves so used to death all around them that they simply don't care about their own deaths and keep minding their business xD

Yep, that sounds about right.  Props to you for redrawing my line of thought.

Any news on the battle against the death bird, Catalyst?

[arcangelsd]

The bird killed RL catalyst, it seems : /

[Mego]

Spoiler: This is totally relevant (click to show/hide)

[Teneb]

Dave didn't get killed by the bird. The residents of Hellcannon, however, might.

[Mego]

Spoiler: Also this (click to show/hide)

The fact that a giant bird is trying to kill everything in Hellcannon makes these jokes way too easy.

[Teneb]

You may as well point out the fact that we are using birds as avatars. Too bad there are no penguins in 0.31.25

[Eric Blank]

Yes there are. They're just not available in the biome Hellcannon exists in. Only OCEAN_ARCTIC, which I didn't know was a valid tag.
