posting to reserve a spot.  I'm already 6 pages behind from the end of turn update.

And now you're 11 pages behind. When you get around to posting, I suggest that you just post up here, Ruhn.
 

EDIT: 12, now.

[Enemy post]

Literally my only experience with the game importing in the threads, reading the (entire, :-/) thread about Cacame, and looking at TvTropes.

Have you read Boatmurdered?

[Glass]

No, but I have certainly heard about it. Murderous hordes of (zombie?) elephants and killing the world in lava.

Also, what I wrote about that stuff being my "only experience with the game" isn't really true: I've also read about Asax the Caveswallowman (the one that killed one FB and fought of two more immortal ones for a long time, and kept renaming his spear and shield), the reclaim of Battlefailed (though not the fort itself; the Failcannon will be able to shoot both hot and cold running fail), and a decent amount of the DF wiki (stupid dwarf tricks, anyone?).

That said, I have essentially no experience with the workings of DF, an incomplete understanding of what is possible and what isn't (for example, earlier, when I suggested steam cannons (impossible, which I didn't know), and when I got rebutted with oil-soaked flaming arrows (rather than my flint-and-steel based contraption, as I didn't know that we could use oil-soaked arrows)). Therefore, while I might be more likely to come up with an idea that an actual DF player might come up with than someone who's completely uninitiated, I am also more likely to come up with something that won't work.

You can't use either ingame. You can't shoot fire from ammunition I think.

You were rebutted IC since you gave a complex solution to a simple problem.

It is time to get ready. I have been given permission to set up shop and, my first case is the overseer of the fort, Sprin. He is an... interesting case. A ghost of the past, pulled through time and placed into a still living body. This is a case the likes of which I have not yet seen. I have to prepare for this and I know just how. It's time to call upon an old friend. Let us see if the God of Magic is busy this time of night.
Lets see another trick up Arc's sleeve, shall we. Afer isn't the only deity he believes in, and he has an agenda that only he knows, though Erin knows part of it.

I have [...] an incomplete understanding of what is possible and what isn't

And I rest my case.

Edit: Sprin, anything you want me to know before I write something up for your appointment, any personality traits or ideas that may be important?

I ocasionally communicate with alternate versions of myself but since the "resurection" or whatever it was I havent been able to establish contact with alternate timeline sprins.

This is called "side effects of time travel and/or of having your personality ripped through the multiverse".

[Sprin]

Great, tell me something I don't know

[Glass]

The side effect is regarding your inability to contact them. Not the contacting them. Also, ask Arc.

[Smoke Mirrors]

Compared to Apiks you are suprisingly sane. That work?
Edit: Like I said, I haven't seen a case like this before, though I would be more than willing to do some research on it.

[Sprin]

Sure


Side note Technical difficulties with comp tonight, miiight be time to get a new PC

[Smoke Mirrors]

Erin apparently has kids, and a wife, Glass, did you know this?

[Glass]

Yes. I did. It had been pointed out how improbable all this was at Erin's very first in-game introduction.

Just FYI, he's watching me type this right now IRL.

[Smoke Mirrors]

Hey, remember those masterwork chairs, I need them.
