Well at this point I kinda COULD use the help, I'm about ready to pass out and I havent made much progress on it. Well I did figure out a new way to implement it that should make it less difficult but in the tests of my new method I STILL cant get the crazy shit I've been trying to implement correctly so I suppose I could send you the files to my super secret chocolatey awesome project by PM or something, so long as you promise not to let anyone else in on it :P
Also I'm still only in Arena testing stage, afterward gonna test it on a worldgen and maybe a quicky fort to make sure it actually shows up correctly (the way im doing it is FUCKING STRANGE AS SHIT)

- A single creature called the Thread Necromancer. I hardly modified your code - I just made it "work". This may or may not ever show up in the actual game.
- An interaction that makes people learn Thread Necromancy during worldgen and live in towers. Includes book topics such as Trolling, Banhammers and Lulz.
- An entire race called Thread Necromancers and their slaves, the Thread Zombies. They live in dark fortresses and attack in large, deadly sieges.
edit: forgot to add in the PM, if you want option#2, you'll need to name the book file "secret_thread.txt".

Just genned a test world. Thread Necromancers (interaction-based) are working now. Choice Thread Necromancer books:
"The Homely Bravery And The Necrothreader"
"Thread Unlife In The Time Of My Ancestors"
"The Troll: Common Practice"
"Can Cow Leather Save The World?" (unrelated, but too funny to leave out)
"Lolcats: Problems And Solutions"
"4Chan In The Time Of My Ancestors"
"Start Your Day With The Lolcats"
"Errors In Trolling"
"Thread Necromancy Explained"
"The Necrothreaders: A Brief History"
"Lulz When It Counts"
"Traditional Admins"
"Victory By Lulz"
"The Banhammer: Principles And Practice"
These from a 100 year worldgen, small map size.
Just Necrothreaders isn't quite enough for ambient flavor, in my opinion... I'd like to do some stuff like change cats to lolcats, and add things like Chuck Norris and such (just adding Internet memes in general), but I don't want to do anything without consulting you guys. Therefore... suggestions, anyone?

I only have a limited amount of time per day to be on (my laptop's hard drive crashed a few months ago, I'm borrowing someone else's computer when I can), but yeah, I'm adding a lot. :P Hopefully I'll get it finished this morning - there's not really that much left to add. :) I'm torn between whether I should tell you guys what I'm doing, or leave it as a surprise...
Leave the stuff that we can find ourselves out. As for minor stuff, you can say it :P (If you want to, that is).
Post by: Talvieno on August 31, 2012, 08:00:43 am
I think it's about done... Well, except for testing, but normally I'd spend at least a week doing that. The thread is already started, and everybody's waiting, so instead of allowing interest to dwindle, I'm going to just let us get this show on the road.
Major features of the current version of the Lolmod:
- Dwarves are now called forumites.
- Several of the dwarven job names have been changed. The expedition leader, for example, is now called the site founder.
- Three new civs: Necrothreaders, Trolls, and Haxxors.
- Dwarves/forumites have knees so they can take arrows to them.
- Seven new creatures, three of which are domestic, one of which is the lolcat.
- Two new weapons, the Banhammer and the Laptop. The laptop is ranged and has its own weapons, while the Banhammer is craftable from stone.
- Instruments have been replaced with forum-related items such as sigs and avatars. (It'd be nice if we made these for trade.)
- High Lord Necrothreaders, a type of megabeast.
- The ability to become a Thread Necromancer during worldgen by learning the secrets.
- Many new book title parts specifically oriented towards lulz.
- Thread Zombies.
- Increased Thread Necromancer spawn rate - on average, more towers per world.

Thoughts? Are we ready for this?

We have some potential here. I don't like the meme idea too much, I've learnt to hate memes, but I can bare with it. Nice modding, Talv! Looking forward to this!Enh, I don't like the "arrow to the knee" meme much - it got a bit annoying about 6-8 months ago, but I've softened towards it some since. I put it in largely just for laughs. It's not exactly game-changing, and can be very easily removed. Just replace the body_default.txt file, and you're done.
The idea was to base the mod on teh internets, so that's what I attempted to do. I may not have done the best job at it, and four/five hours of modding total can only go so far. :P But I think I did all right for the time I had.
Amazing Talvieno. Would you care to explain to me the1. Dwarves, Trolls, Haxxors and Humans can learn to be Thread Necromancers during worldgen. This works in pretty much the same way as Necromancers, except it happens more often.
"The ability to become a Thread Necromancer during worldgen by learning the secrets.
Many new book title parts specifically oriented towards lulz." parts
And yes, we are ready for this. It will be amazing. Feel free to release the mod whenever you are ready and I shall get some embark sites up on the second page for you guys to choose. Amazing work. Good job.
2. When Thread Necromancers create books, they may be named something like "Bay12: Before and After" instead of "The Tower: Before and After".
And thanks for the compliments, guys. :)
If we don't have any further suggestions, I'll upload it right now. I'll send a link to you via PM when it's done, Apiks.
EDIT: OR, I could upload it to DFFD and just post the link here. Which would be preferred?

Apiks' Diary - 1st of Granite
I cannot believe that they actually made me come here. But what could've I done against their sweet talk? They kept saying stuff like "You will be heavily awarded when you return. You're the only one that can do this." and the likes of that. But here I am now at this place and it gives me the creeps. People have already dubbed it "Necrothreat". This worries me a great deal but I'll have to manage. As such I have ordered the miners to begin mining at the side of that small sand mountain there is. There are 2 rivers that merge into one at this place. It will server as a good natural defence if somebody comes to disrupt our work which by Armok I hope will not happen.
2 hours later...
By Armok! Did you see that? An animal just came out of the water. What was it called? Allie gator or something? It seemed to have big teeth so I've ordered my men to immediately move into the mainland onto safety and have made myself - the most experienced forumite in the art of warfare on this patch of land - to the militia commander. Our miners include the site founder Toady One and Nish Ducimmishos. They told me that they are competent miners so they better be.
Apiks' Diary - 2nd of Granite
These rivers are hazardous. Today I saw a snapping turtle. We may be able to turn it into food but I dare not go near the river with those allie gators there. I hope the 4 dogs that I brought along will be enough defence in case something happens.
Apiks' Diary - 3rd of Granite
Blasted! There is an aquifer directly bellow the sand mountain. This will indeed present a number of challenges. For now I have immediately ordered for the miners to mine out the sand mountain for a temporary base.
Apiks' Diary - 10th of Granite
This is ridiculous. I never thought I'd be missing those forsaken rocks back at home. I do hope that we find a way to find some material soon.
Apiks' Diary - 13th of Granite
Those idiot miners have been on hauling duty instead of mining. I have corrected this and they are working on fully efficency. We have to strike the earth, and strike it fast.
Apiks' Diary - 6th of Slate
Progress is slow. I have ordered the miners on hauling duty again. Who knew that getting our stuff from the caravan was such a slow work.
Apiks' Diary - 26th of Slate
This really is slow proress but atleast our stuff is in the mountain and workshop as well as bedrooms are being made. This will help us greatly since all of our backs ache from sleeping on the ground for almost a month now.
Apiks' Diary - 4th of Felsite
I have ordered multiple holes to be dug out and our most promising one - next to the river failed as well. There is no stone in this forsaken land. This aquifer dooms us. As such I have ordered for a trade depot to be built. The traders will bring us stone. And a lot of it it shall be.
Apiks' Diary - 16th of Felsite
Blasted. Our food stocks are running dangerously low. Whose brilliant idea was this place anyway?
Apiks' Diary - 25th of Felsite
Beds,a wooden bridge and a mechanic's workshop have begun to be constructed. I will make this place to sustain a population if that's the last thing I do!
Apiks' Diary - 4th of Hematite
RAWR! Why is almost everything in this world made out of ROCK? That's the only thing that we DON'T have. I hope the caravan comes soon because we will be needing it.
Apiks' Diary - 13th of Hematite
I...will...make...sure...this..fortress...survives....

As per 28th of Hematite, you can see that I am in a pinch. How do I handle this aquifer? I need rocks I need a lot of stuff. Can somebody give me advice on how to proceed? I am at a loss.

Post by: Talvieno on September 01, 2012, 07:57:07 am
First, we have plenty of sand, but do we have soil anywhere on the map? If we do, dig out a plot underground and start a farm. If you decided to make a kitchen, go to the z --> Kitchen screen and disable plump helmets from being cooked. We'll need to start farming plump helmets quickly.
Aquifers aren't difficult to pierce, unless they're multi-level, in which case it's often difficult to find a large enough space to drop a plug. And plugs themselves are difficult to create, for a new player. Armok's infinite beard, what have we gotten ourselves into...
In the DF Wiki there's a page on aquifers. It should be able to help you with figuring out how to get past. If not... I'll draw up a quick diagram on how to mine out a spot for a plug to fall.
edit: Ninja'd by BFEL, who has the right idea. :P +1 to you. I'd like to add, though: if you're channeling the last connection to drop the plug, it is almost guaranteed to drop your miner into the water below. (this can be deadly in frozen areas, as your miner will splat.) Still, I don't see a way around it.

Ok, first mine out the white parts, leaving the green layer of dirt there for later, then channel out the green layer (I forgot to draw an escape route so your dudes dont drown, but you can figure that out) Anyway after that just channel out the yellow piece and the plug will drop, the red lineish things are where the plug will end up, which is to say, as a solid piece of dirt bridging the aquifer. You can then mine the red part down through the plug and into the stone beneath.
Post by: BFEL on September 01, 2012, 08:25:25 am
Also he did it better, leaving room for multi layer aquifers :P oops
Post by: Talvieno on September 01, 2012, 08:30:20 am
XD I just got ninja'd back by talviNo, I didn't, actually... To leave room for multi-layer aquifers, you need to increase the size of the plug by about... three tiles per side? If we have a multi-layer aquifer, we may be screwed unless we rig something up with pumps (which is very dangerous work). The trick with pumps is to have engravers smooth the walls as the water is pumped out. If we have dirt, sand or clay, that's not possible.
Also he did it better, leaving room for multi layer aquifers :P oops
I also forgot to mention that after the plug falls, you dig a staircase through the CENTER of the plug. Emphasis added because if you mess it up, the plug can't be repaired. :P keep it in mind.

Today I have received a lettter from my master. He is indeed worthy of the title master. He has told me how to proceed to deal with the aquifer. As such I have immediately begin doing his "plug" method. I have ordered the plug method to be built inside the damn sand mountain in case we are attacked, we will have 2 lines of defence (the sand tower and the entrance to the plug).
Apiks' Diary - 3rd of Malachite
These lousy men will have to be dealt in near future. They are causing me a lot of stress on whether they will attack or not.
Apiks' Diary - 5th of Malachite
Great! The plug is completed. We are completely ready to show that aquifer bastard who's boss. As such I have ordered for the plug to be activated and for the aquifer to feel our wrath.

We must not falter. I have ordered yet another hole to conquer the aquifer to be dig out. This time there will be no mistakes. I promise you that my people!
On the bright side though, one less mouth to feed. Although it is truly a shame that we have lost one of our picks. Food is dangerously low as well.

Curses! A giant gray langur invasion has arrived! These monkeys have plans of stealing our stuff and riping us to shreds! This is extremely bad. I have immediately ordered for us to stay at the fortress and a door to be built immediately before they reach and spell the doom of the fortress. I'd fight them myself but I have no equpment to do so and I hardly stand a chance against what? 10 Giant Gray Lengurs?

These Lengurs are formidable opponents. I have decided that our best course of action is to wait for a trade caravan to come. Our only concern is with food. It is outside. This might be a problem but we will maange.

Actually, in the update it says that the second plug attempt was successful but it's outside which means that I'll have to connect them somehow. And yeah, I kinda picked on the fact that I plugged a floor and not a block. That was uncalled for to happen. Poor Toady One. I didn't expect that he'd die. I thought the other miner died. Anyway, we lost one of our picks so now we're working on 1/2 efficency and the other miner doesn't want to work.Ahhh, I misunderstood that part - I thought you said you were making a bridge. :P But bravo! We have stone! We'll just need to make walls over to it or something, to keep our forumites from getting slaughtered. lol
This is great. :D

In short, if we don't turtle, we may get wiped out. :P This isn't your traditional succession game, and nor is it your traditional fort. (also, the raws uploaded had a couple minor errors, which I had Apiks fix manually. The modded races are even more powerful now.

The Haxxors have no ranged weapons, but will seem to teleport in and out randomly... and they will run very, very fast.

And menacing spikes!
I hope I get a strange mood in this.

Despite the physical desciption looking almost nothing like her, she says she likes it.Lol, and I've seen a dwarf, with nothing BUT red on everything. He turned out to actually be pretty damn badass when I jokingly put him in my military (he was weak, suspectible to disease, quick to tire and all the social crap was red too). He pretty much went "Screw how I am, I'm kicking ass and taking names!" Became a legendary swordsman and killed like 30 goblins himself before I blew up my fortress with update -.-
The kill list of five elephants made her day.

Bahahaha! My plan has worked, and Apiks can kiss my shiny dwarven backside! Booyah, baby! I, Tal Denber Machinebend, am now the sole ruler of Necrothreat! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! All right!
A couple weeks back, my buddies and I got a call that we could be the rulers of a fortress, "easy as 1 2 3!" I said, "eh, I could take it or leave it." I decided to take it - after all, that's why Armok, our holy and most blessed redeemer, invented thievery. I stole a fortress, baby! Man, I don't know what's funnier, how everybody's eating their food outside in the rain, or how we don't have any stone yet!
...
...What exactly have I gotten myself into?
Okay, first thing's first. We're gonna need some serious quantities of alcohol. I commandeered the wagon, emptied it, and now we can fill it with moonshine!
6th Limestone, Early Autumn
Seems like we don't have anything to brew in our wagonstill... And the farm plots aren't set to grow anything... Man, first brewing and now farming? I have to do TWO THINGS?! Forget it.
7th Limestone, Early Autumn
My love for the blessed Lady Alcohol got the better of me. I got some of these schmoozes making it for me! Booyah, baby!
I also decided it'd probably be a good idea to build a table/chair out of wood, indoors. I dunno about the dwarves, but I like eatin' my meals in style. Even if they're stolen meals. (Tip #82: Stolen meals add extra flavor.)
We've got a path to the underground, but sorry to say, looks like there's nothing protecting it. I set some of the dumber dwarves about chopping some wood. Is there anything I can't do with this newfound power? All right! Shoot, I need somebody to high-five.
I need a room... There's no way I'm building one of my own, though. You crazy? Too much work. Naw, I'm stealin' somebody else's. I'll get a nice room, covered in engravings of me...
8th Limestone, Early Autumn
Okay, so we don't have any rooms with stone walls, so no engravings. No prob, no prob, I'll just... huh. You know, crazy as it sounds, I think that infomercials scam you sometimes. I've been SCAMMED! The scammer has become the scammee!!! Or... maybe it's the other way around... They just THINK I fell for it. Well, just wait! All my actions are pre-determined, which means they fell for their own scam by creating it! They think they're going to be successful! Bahahaha!
Still, we need that wood. And those chairs. Augh, this is gonna be a problem. Can't I just have somebody else do it? Nah, you know what, I AM gonna have somebody else do it. They can all kiss my shiny dwarven backside! I'm king, baby! I bow to NO tree. The trees bow to ME!
...on second thought, chopping wood suddenly sounds appealing...
12th Limestone, Early Autumn
(http://tnypic.net/00a6b.png)
Oh yeah, baby! Bow to me! We're getting some wood, now! And the lame-o farmers have already started growing plump helmets! Soon I'll have barrels of beer, and all to myself! No... why stop at beer? I shall allow only the finest Merlot in my esteemed mansion. I'll have some lame-o carpenters commence on building it.
(http://tnypic.net/b1915.png)
Man, these Gray Langur Men are stealin' everything. That's MY job! Still, have to say I admire their style, but they have horrible tastes. I only settled for stealing a whole fortress, while they're fine with a few socks and shoes. Bahahaha, losers.
3rd Sandstone, Mid Autumn
(http://tnypic.net/50b92.png)
So, it's been a coupla weeks, and we still don't have any booze! I can't think straight! Still, I've chopped a lotta wood, and we're getting my mansion built! Booyah, baby! Those gray langnurs can kiss my shiny dwarven backside... While I'm swimming in my three-hundred foot pool! Booyah! There's this awesome pit in the ground that nobody's using, and I'm gonna fill it with water from the river! Who's awesome, baby? That's right! Me! I'm sure the fish won't mind too bad if I steal their water.
Apiks is helping build my illustrious mansion. I bet he had no idea he'd be working for me before his term was even up! Bahahaha! Sprin's hauling wood around, Mastahcheese is helping build my mansion, too, Ushriromiya is helpin' grow my mushrooms for my booze, and Esther1... is sleeping... Hey, whoa, nellie! Nobody's lazy on MY watch! She needs to get back up and keep doing my work for me!
Bah, there's no way I'm climbing those stairs to the living quarters. Too far of a walk. Maybe I can find somebody else to do it.
7th Sandstone, Mid Autumn
Nobody's doing a thing! They all say they're starving! Liars... trying to steal my food from me... Oh well, I've ordered a butcher's shop built so we can slaughter our animals. We dine on fine red meat tonight, baby! Booyah!
11th Sandstone, Mid Autumn
(http://tnypic.net/aa682.png)
Migrants! Bahahaha, suckers. I'll put 'em to work building my mansion. Oh, and might I mention... WE STRUCK GOLD?! Booyah! Right on the other side of the aquifer. Denber, you, my friend, are a genius! Mwah! Oh yes, my mansion will be made of solid gold! I'll tear those walls down and build it fresh! Solid gold!
Bah, I'll just leave the walls up there. Too much work to pull 'em down. I AM going to have our miner, Nish, dig out a nice spot for us belowground. We'll feast on our meat in style! Only the best for Denber and associates!
...Nine migrants?! What are we gonna do with them all? I'm gonna have to build somewhere for 'em to stay... Damn it, maybe being a ruler isn't all it's hyped up to be. Maybe I can hire somebody else to do the dirty work. I'll just sit back and watch. But hey, we got a second miner! Wait, correction... THREE miners now! And they brought along free picks! We're going at the stone doubletime now! We'll have gold out our behinds! Booyah! Stealin' has never been so profitable! I estimate a 100% profit margin... and I didn't invest a dime! That means INFINITE, baby! Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch?! I steal mine daily!
17th Sandstone, Mid Autumn
We're brewing my booze! Booyah! All right then, one little issue. My unwitting slaves inform me that merlot is made from grapes, and we don't have any grapes. I suppose I'll have to be content with fine wine. But hey! I got a table up, and it's serving as a dining hall! All for me! Actually, I tricked a few of the migrants into putting it up. I just leaned against a wall and told him what to do.
(http://tnypic.net/3832a.png)
Phew! Being an overseer sure is tough work. Obviously, I am taking a much-deserved break in this picture. Beside me are smelly animals. They poop on my floor. I'm going to have them executed.
22nd Sandstone
(http://tnypic.net/69c3a.png)
My diving board is done! Booyah! Sad, though, my idiot carpenter slaves didn't understand what I was saying, and built the diving board ACROSS the pool. Maybe I didn't give them enough of a description. Or maybe they just haven't seen my standard of living before! That's right, baby, Tal Denber's in the house!
I'm gonna put up a fence around the place, just to make sure I can keep trespassers out of my pool.
10th Timber, Late Autumn
Nobody's doing what I'm telling them to anymore, so I made myself manager. Now they HAVE to do what I say, and on my schedule! I want my mansion up double-quick! It ain't enough that I'm mostly done with my private fence! And I want a dining room! And I don't want to have to lift a finger to make it happen! Make it so, chumps!
I also made Mastahcheese my site moderator. Sources tell me (which I shall keep secret) that this is similar to a sheriff. He carries a gun, and booyah, you know it! It'll keep my forumite servants in line!
(http://tnypic.net/ba0c0.png)
Such a nice place we're carving out for ourselves... You can see Esther1 over at the mason's workshop on the left. I don't know anybody else's names (takes too much effort to learn them), but as you can clearly see, I'm not going down there until that place is finished! No way you'll see ME working in the mines! Uh uh! I'm too high-class for that. That's right, baby. Stealing is classy. And if it isn't, then I made it so. I'm Tal Denber! All shall fear my handsomeness and bow before me!
That room at bottom-left is going to be the dining hall. Doesn't it look grand? And yes, it has walls of tetrahedrite! Silver walls, baby! Booyah!
11th Timber, Late Autumn
Umm... Mastahcheese informs me that tetrahedrite is an ore of copper, not silver. Still. I've got all the booze! Can't touch this! And I can't be bothered to learn it anyway. If I say it's silver, it's silver. My word is law, man. Can't steal my words from me, nuh uh.
24th Timber, Late Autumn
(http://tnypic.net/80946.png)
The caravan has finally arrived! About time, too. I had us some spiked wooden balls made beforehand. Those things sell for millions. Bahahaha, suckers, all they get in return for our goods is a few worthless pointy balls. They can kiss my shiny forumite backside. Booyah! Oh, and better - my privacy fence has been installed! Now I can swim in my pool in peace! I can't wait until they finally get my waterfall done, and the pool, and the sauna...
Apiks suggests I'm demanding too much of everybody. I told him to go train himself. That's what you get for messin' with the man, Denber! Oh yeah! That's right!
He's got a nice room to train in, at least.
2nd Moonstone, Early Winter
(http://tnypic.net/23a09.png)
They're not worth as much as they ought to have been, but I guess that's what you get for having skilless carpenters workin' for ya. I therefore decided that Esther and Mastahcheese could have their old jobs back. We've got plenty of useless migrants for the task. Mastahcheese is still gonna be our Site Moderator, though. And I made Ushiromiya our Banhammerer. If anyone steps out of line, they can have him to fear! And THEN me! I bet I'm scary enough already, though. Still, I can't be bothered to lift one of those heavy banhammers. Too heavy. Takes too long, too.

This made me feel like my writing skills suck badly to be honest. Alteast Succession Fortressy-wise.Sorry, wasn't what I was trying to do at all. :( BFEL had it right - I dwarfed Bender. I chose a random dwarf, and saw that it had the last name of "Machinebends"... It was just too perfect - I had to. :P Overdramatic characters tend to be fun in succession games. Rule of drama. You're actually a pretty good writer - please don't get discouraged. :P
THAT WAS AWESOME. Can't believe I have a gun now, what kind is it? And, OH SNAP, I cancelled EATING to go into a fey mood? At least if I survive this horrific incident I'll be legendary at whatever it is I'm making, hopefully I'll become a weaponsmith or an armorsmith.It's a steel laptop, last I checked, which is ranged. :P They spam, derail, and one other thing I can't recall at the moment. And I paused before I could see what workshop you would claim. I wanted it to be a surprise. I should be able to get the final update out today, but we'll see.
And that's totally like my wife to go sleeping like that, I don't even bother trying to wake her up.
Also, about the wife - lol. :P
Fun stuff, you guys!Yeah, I know. :P I figured I'd make Tal Denber misunderstand what Mastahcheese would've said.

5th Moonstone, Early Winter
Man, Mastahcheese has stolen our only carpenter's workshop. Now he's gonna go build something we can't even sell! I hate this, man. Artifacts won't even get you any money! But maybe I'll steal whatever it is out from under him... Heheheheheh, sucker.
Still, we needed more to trade with the caravan... I wonder if they'll take spare migrants... I bet I could put a nice spin on that... "GETCHUR MIGRANTS HERE, UP TO 50% OFF! ADDED BONUS: FREE STEAK KNIVES!" Bahahaha, they'll never guess the steak knives are made of paper.
12th Moonstone, Early Winter
It's only worth 6000 bucks! I've stolen booze worth more than that! Still, it's a nice door... Might look good on my golden mansion... "Splashspun the Decisive Confederation"... now that's a name you can toast to! ...That reminds me, where's my slaves? I want more fine wine.
(http://tnypic.net/c43c3.png)
On another note... Forumites from the mountainhome appear to be "too good" for the slave trade. Oh well, no issue, I'll just steal back what I sold them and sell it a second time! That's right, baby! Nobody messes with the T D! Denber all the way!
... You know... If I treated my slaves with a bit more respect, I might be able to teach them a thing or two about thievery... Imagine what we could steal THEN... Imagine - a whole country full of stolen fortresses, all belonging to me! And all I have to do is sign a paper to approve a school to educate my servants in the fine art of thievery. What's that? Bribe them to do my dirty work? Never! "Bribe" is such an ugly word. I prefer "extortion" - the "X" makes it sound cool.
Eh, then again, too much effort. I support and oppose many things, but not strongly enough to pick up a pen.
23rd Moonstone, Early Winter
Dammit! Those meatbag merchants left before I could hoist more worthless goods on 'em. I wanted them to stay - there were still so many things I don't own! Still... I got me a lolcat. And some gray langnurs killed one of the fleeing forumite oxen! Booyah, baby! Stolen goods! Ain't nothin' better! Y'know, maybe those langnurs ain't so bad after all! I should hire some as my goons...
(http://tnypic.net/36722.png)
The workshops are coming along nicely... My office is already up, too. Mastahcheese keeps pestering me for one of his own, but eh - he can wait. I'm boss, I come first. Muahahaha. He can kiss my shiny dwarven backside! And I still don't have bedrooms for everybody... But I figure that can wait. Digging bedrooms is counter-productive - nobody sleeps on my watch! Except me. I've got nothin' against sleepin' on my own watch.
(http://tnypic.net/b06c8.png)
6th Opal, Mid Winter
Mastahcheese informs me that the laptop I gave him is worthless - we don't have any electricity. I told him to go get struck by lightning, and that would fix the problem. Bahahaha, would've been beautiful if he'd fallen for it! But he didn't. Instead, he's getting a banhammer. Those things are fricken' heavy.
20th Opal, Mid Winter
The Liaison wouldn't quit following me around... I think he's a cop or something. It's hard to steal when he won't quit pestering you, so I finally sat down and asked him politely, "What the hell do you want, scumbag?" He claims he just wanted to know what we wanted from the caravan next year. I told him "Mostly booze, but some of everything. Except the dumb stuff, and don't bring any cheap wines. Oh, and bring lots of booze!"
He'd better not forget the booze. I want my booze.
On that note, the dorm idea won't work. I'm giving everybody tiny rooms of their own. Productivity, baby! I think I'm gettin' the hang of this!
(http://tnypic.net/1ab81.png)
Meanwhile, my mansion is... Well... It's not quite done...
(http://tnypic.net/54042.png)
Okay, fine! They haven't started on it at all, and I've wanted them to build it for months! I don't get it - why would anybody NOT want to build it for me? What on earth could anyone POSSIBLY HAVE against ME?? I don't understand people sometimes. Or ever. Too complicated. Takes too long. They can all go dig a hole for themselves to fall in or something.
But... Guess what. MY MONUMENT IS COMPLETE! That's right, baby! Screw dorms! Lady Liquor will be pleased with me! In the words of the Archangel Shampain, "Sip swish swish gulp sip swish gulp gulp gulp pouuuuuuurrrrrrrr gulp pouuuuurrrrrr gulp shatter chug chug chug chug chug." I have made a monument to booze! It is beautiful! It shall have floors of gold! And walls of gold! We will be swimming in booze! And I'll BUY my effing merlot like any true gentleman, and spit in the faces of anyone who gets in my way! Booyah, baby! Denber's back! All right! Oh yeah! Go Denber! Go Denber!
(http://tnypic.net/13200.png)
Booyah!
And before I Forget, I made Esther1 Archiver. She seems to be doing a... somewhat okay job so far. Not as quick as I'd like, but hey! I'll just cut her wages a bit! Not like she'll notice... Hee hee hee hee hee... Oh, Denber, you are an evil, handsome genius!
19th Obsidian, Late Winter
I've been too busy to make an entry. Soap operas don't watch themselves, baby! I want to be an actor someday. But right now, I'm an overseer of a whole fortress. That totally trumps a make-believe role. Booyah!
Strange, though - the miners STILL haven't built my room! I set a place to be channeled out so that we can have a waterfall in our dining room, too. But for SOME REASON nobody's finished that, either. What's worse is that Mastahcheese informed me earlier that my term is almost up. "Term"? "Term"? Baby, I've been here for less than half a year, what do you mean my term is up? Don't I get like four years, or somethin'? Come on, man. Not cool. Heck, I'm Tal Denber! I ought to have THREE terms! Twelve years, baby! But he says nooooo, it was in the contracts I signed, didn't I read them? I told him, "'Course I did, fool? What do you take me for?" Of course I didn't read the fine print, squinting's too much work. Bah, I should've been an actor.
Only half the bedrooms are done, we don't have any spare doors (and I'd rather go sober than make one myself), and my swimming pool froze over? Cheap-o knockoff... I'm sick of it. I'm walling it off. See if I care if we don't have any hot chicks come over next year. I'll just be sittin' in my room... Wait, what? My room STILL isn't finished?
(http://tnypic.net/3b652.png)
What's up with these people? They seem to be celebrating about how my term's almost up! Esther1 actually just threw a party celebrating it... IN MY DINING ROOM!
Come on, guys... I'm the great Tal Denber! I love parties! What do they mean, I'm not invited! I practically INVENTED parties, baby! And they even got my name wrong on the banner. It's Tal Denber, not Tal Dander... What's up with that, man?
Maybe I'll just take a nap in my room. ... Oh, wait...
1st Granite, Early Spring
Well... This is it. I'm officially out of a job... again. Can't tell you how many times this has happened. I finally got my bedroom finished - had to get off my backside and dig it myself. No sooner had I stretched out on my bed than an angry mob came and pounded on my door. I remember when I was part of angry mobs... those were the days. Heck, man, I used to LEAD angry mobs, baby! But now I'm just a loner... My waterfall isn't even finished, and my swimming pool is empy. My shrine to Lady Liquor is gonna have to do without floors of gold. This sucks, man.
(http://tnypic.net/c8230.png)
But what they don't know... is that the joke's on them... Chumps! Bahahaha, you thought you'd seen the last of me? Hell, no! I'm Tal Denber, baby! And you all can kiss my shiny dwarven backside! I'll be back - may be a week, may be a few years, but you can count on it! Booyah! And oh, guess what? I'm puttin' Sprin, the doc, in charge! He's mad as heck! You'll all wish it'd been me, but too late! Losers! It'll take more than a fortress to convince me to run this place again! Maybe a better bedroom... And a lifetime supply of fine wine, pre-aged a lifetime. Booyah, baby!

At least it has a hyena killing a human on it, would have been better if it were an elf getting mauled, but oh well, that's ok.
And, Woo! Banhammer! I still wish I had that gun, though, but not enough for a new world gen, that'd be pointless.
Hey! Maybe Sprin will get around to making my office so I can do my job properly, now.

And I did finish your offices, actually - sort of. They're functional, at least. Let me show you.
(http://tnypic.net/54042.png)
The room at top-left: Yours and Esther1's bedroom. Congrats, you have the second-largest bedroom in the fortress, and arguably the most valuable one. :P
The two rooms at bottom-left: Your personal dining room/snack lounge/whatever, and your office. Esther1's office is right next to yours (she's archiver/bookkeeper). The room with the yellow "X" is Denber's. When he's not being lazy, that's where he manages the work orders.

- Trolls got ALL THE WAY to the deepest part of the fortress.
- We have a berserk farmer.
- Apiks, Sprin, Ushiromiya and Tal Denber have all died.
- Sprin reappropriated Denber's room as his own and redwarfed himself. Nobody else got redwarfed. (He reappropriated Denber's room before Denber even died, and left Denber without a room.)
- Esther1 is the only survivor of this crazy half-year.
- We're almost out of drinks.
- We have four dwarves left outside with the bridge raised. Two of them are injured. EDIT: nevermind, 5 dwarves. One is in the river and missing a foot.
- There are four dwarves in the hospital.
- Sprin destroyed the raising bridge across the river and made it solid. Now we have no secondary line of defense from the north.
- Almost everyone in the fort is unhappy. The rest are wounded, and a lot are both. (there are 29 people at the moment.)
- There are bodies everywhere.
- Sprin reappropriated my dining room waterfall drainage ditch and turned it into a hallway for bedrooms (I'm guessing those are bedrooms).
- Hilariously, according to the logs, Sprin himself (mad doctor) went berserk and started killing everyone.
- A lot of dwarves are throwing tantrums.
- The bridge appears to be broken. I can't get it to lower.
- We have eight coffins. We need 38.
- Most of our beds weren't made into bedrooms. There's still a room shortage.
- We have almost no doors anywhere.
- Miasma. Lots of miasma.
- Edits following: Sprin forced Esther1 out of her room. :-\ No idea why.
- Sprin destroyed the old dining room in favor of a smaller, unsmoothed one. :-\ What's the logic behind this, exactly?
- Trade depot is destroyed, construction is suspended on a new one.
- Our army is a mess. We have plenty of skilled soldiers, but none of them are in the army. The people in the army have no skill whatsoever.
Basically... the fortress is an absolute disaster/war zone. and this is only year 2. Actually, I don't know if it can even be salvaged. Seriously, it looks post-apocalypse. And we only got an ambush. Not even a siege. Just a troller ambush.
Thoughts?

But in all seriousness, I think we should try to continue with what we have, that way we have like a second rising of necrothreat WITHOUT a reclaim. And a wise man once told me: we need that little bit of chaos in our lives to create order... This our little bit of chaos? :P

NOTE TO NEXT OVERSEER: Move all corpses and refuse below ground, as deep as you can get it. DO NOT leave anything up top.
Those that cant be put in coffins are to be atom smashedThis is optimal, but may take a bit of time to set up. Belowground first. Atomsmash second.

might be why it dosnt work...
Also Ester1 was evicted for the new moderater and died on his way to bed by trolls.
denbur was evicted as well as ill be evicted from the nice room and given the sand one near the hospital incase of emergancy witch is gana be a wile.
The hospital needs plaster and soap but everything else is covered and then some due to awesome trading with humans and elfs.
we have a well near the hospital so we should be fine during or drout...
Sory for fucking the fort up it was built in a bad embark for me and with bolts being forign my main defence plan couldnt work...
Post by: highmax28 on September 10, 2012, 06:54:11 pm
I couldnt find a lever for the bridge after the langur disaster so I built one next to the bridge...When it comes to my turn, i'm going to have a really hard time doing hunting and stuff since we cant make bolts out of bones... I'll have to just be more resourceful... I'll use swords! Or the sword equivalent!

edit:
If I recall correctly, the "laptops" were supposed to be your ranged weapons, but the ammo wasn't implemented correctly, so they don't work. That means you're stuck with melee weapons, traps, etc.This is true. I think traps are pretty much necessary and should be implemented in mass quantities - upright spikes especially. Those can get anything.
Something I didn't think about:
Haxxors are fast - about four times as fast as dwarves. They can "cloak" themselves and possess inherent stealth skill high enough to get all the way to the center of the fortress, if they're lucky. They're also short-lived, which means they have a lifespan, which means they can become the most badass necromancers ever seen in any game. I saw one earlier. If one of those gets to us, we're pretty much screwed if they have any corpses to play around with. Hitting them with melee-only will be a major pain.
For ranged weapons: importing from humans and elves would be helpful, but I doubt there will be enough. Fixdiplomats in DFHack should help somewhat - we'll be able to ask for ranged weapons from the humans.

Second year. It's halfway through year 2.Well then, I guess I'll have to start the iron industry and make HUGE AMOUNTS of LARGE IRON SERRATED DISCS! I've had a hallway that took over 100 disks... Lets just say nothing made it through in one piece...

Swordsdwarves are swordsdwarves. Dwarves are called forumites only when talking about them as a species. There are still fisherdwarves.
I'd like to be reforumited... But just call my dwarf "Tal". I figure Denber's dead at this point. :( Oh well. I'll come up with a new character, I suppose.

6th of Sandstone
Well, after our good friend the docter decided the best medicine is fist applied directly to the forehead, they've decided to elect a new overseer. As the laziest among them, I've been unanimously elected to the position. Buncha bastards.
Well, I've decided to take a inventory of where we are. I don't actually know since I was napping on a bag of plump-helmets most days, and ignore what happens. Huh. I wonder if that's why I was called "the laziest Forumite I have, or ever will see, so long as the laws of nature remain stand"... Nah, I was, um, "supervising" the plump helmets. Yeah, thats it. That's going on fort record too, so everyone knows 'bout my supervisions, and slander can be laid to rest.
Well, Looking over death records, the first 2 are of Giant Sponges. This is truly a cursed site, and all who remain here shall perish. This omen is more terrifying then anything I could have read. And I will be sure to cry on my plump-helmets later.
Looking over the fort, I see that there has been no production of Garb (That's what it actually says on the little thing they gave me. What time period do they think this is?), little in the way of weapons, and our largest industry is that of "other objects". I imagine some sort of criminal activities, so for now the official explanation will be one of speculation.
Oh, and regarding the former good docter, a random planter smashed Sprin's skull with her fist, killing him. I don't understand so much here, it's just wow. How did I end up here? I'm currently operating under the assumption that this fort is a secret project to isolate and kill dangerous forumites who manifest extreme physical abilities, and/or unwanted lazy people. That, or this place is just evil.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
For some reason there is a sad human and his pack mule staring confusedly at the busy forumites. Not entirely sure what to do with them.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Seriously though, Its not that bad. Sure, everyone is upset, but that can easily be fixed. Overall, It wil take a lot of work to get this fort up to speed, But I'm confidant in my abilities. That said, I'm gonna catch a nap. Maybe the upset people need naps?
BTW

This is a leather bound journal yadda-yadda why the hell do we put all this needless subtext at the start of all our books and journals?
"1st Granite or something, fuck if I know
So this whole place is a disaster area, bodies strewn everywhere, rooms mismanaged, all sorts o fun stuff. Now I'm just a hauler, and my pappy was a hauler, and his pappy was a hauler, and his pappy was a hauler this continues for TEN pages
so in all that time we haulers see a lot of weird shit, and no I ain't talkin bout what Denber put in the farms for fertilizer. But anyhows in all this time of me, my pappy 10 more pages I ain't never heard o no sludge like this that I just found heres. Its all pink and squishy and it MOVES. Ah well, moved it into the damn stockpile."
"Later, still Granite or something
You member that crazy muck I told you about? Well it up'n disappeared! Nobody seen it in days. I told the damned manager I carried the goop to the stockpile, and he better believe hes in for a fight if'n he tries to throw me in jail for violatin some haulin order. But thats not even the weird part. OH NO instead o this muck in the stockpile, they find this hairy forumite huddled in the barrel that sludge was in. Says hes a doctor. Well says isn't really the right word. More screamed directly into your eardrums. Ah well, crazy blighter can stay a crazy blighter for all I fuckin care."

27th of Sandstone: So, I started of my career as leader of this e**ing hole in the ground, after a quick nap.
When I went out to go check how the cleaning was going, I was alerted that there was an axeforumite trapped outside, and a human merchant
trapped inside. It was the random guy from before. Why was that guy still here you ask? He said he can't jump 6 tiles. I told him to ride the mule over it. He told me that wouldn't work. Ass, hasn't he seen it before while shooting falming deer with a axe crossbow? Oh wait, I was dreaming that. Well, I hope that having one survivor of a caravan is better then no survivers, We really don't need any more sieges at this place. Although, When the human tells them what transpired here, I dount anyone will want to siege.
When I open the bridge, more forumites then I expected come rushing in, especially given I expected only one. Why hadn't anyone told me about the others? I sent people to go rescue the injured, which is exactly when the bridge is retracted. What idiot did that? I don't know; I don't think any dwarf in the mountain knows. Well, fortunately no one got hurt, but one of the human's two remaining guards (who were standing outside, waiting dutifully) fell down. I hope that was't a rental guard.

Seems like he can swim. Well, since I don't have anyone who particularly cares to help him out, I guess he'll be guarding our moat now. He doesn't seem to mind. Probably more interesting then that merchant anyway.
I set up a corpse disposal area, deep in the ground so no one will smell them. Anyway, a planter was beating on some bastard we pulled out of the dirt who also called himself Sprin (who woulda guessed?) When I get a message from da scouts:
(http://i.imgur.com/CDtNt.png)
That the so oft-mentioned caverns, I wondered? I think I heard about those: See, I was sleeping in a bar once, and these guys came in at some point, and when I woke up, they were talking to this other guy about these deep dark caverns and all the stuff that goes on in there. Something about giant skinless cat shooting webs and hissing at pond-grabbers. No clue what those are either. Anyway, I thought they were myths. There's a deep dark downward passage just beyond where our scouts ventured, but I'd rather leave that alone.
Anyway, while I was looking around, I realized I have no clue where the hell anything is. Worst part is: I've been here the entire time, and yet all I know is that first I was sleeping on sand for a while, then I wasn't, then it smelled like something died, and then someone decided to punish me by making me Overseer. I bet I'm not even on fortress records.
Hey guess what? There are fools who think this is great fort to live. Yeah, I know. You want proof?

Fecking. Migrants. HOW THE [area smudged] DID THEY GET PAST THE [area blacked out] DEMONIC SPAWN OF HELL? THEY HAVE PASSPORTS OR SOMETHING? DID THEY KINDLY ASK: "Dear sir, can we please pass by your passing siege?".
Well, I suppose it's something to help increase the workers numbers. The approaching migrants were confused to see anyone living here at all, let alone supposedly civilized people. They were even more confused when we claimed we controlled this land. I am meself, but if I were ever honest to the people here about what I think they'd be very upset. As in even more upset. And they might overturn our plump helmet stockpiles, and that's bad for misko.
We appeared to have attracted a large ranger population. They made up more then 50% of the new wave. I don't understand what the Home page is trying to say. I think they expected there not to be anything left here, and are trying to start a new settlement. Considering there is a farmer, a miner, and a single fisherman, this theory may hold water. This does not bode well, given news of our troubles (yeah, let's use nice words like that} hasn't spread yet.
Looking through records, I figure there might have been some Giant Langur troubles before I took over. The last four deaths on record are those. And there's langur blood everywhere (you can tell because it smells a lot like cat blood). I wonder why I never noticed. Must've been how they look a awful lot like everything else here: Death. While looking at that, I wondered why there is a male skin listed as deceased. That's literally all there is on report. "Male skin". I decide I don't really want to know; about either the skin or our record-keeper.
A few days later, our remaining professional mason goes mad as
Arising as if to illustrate why it's good, The Ghost of the Toady one rises from his corpse a day later. I tell the Archiver, Esther1 to write down that "Life sucks, and Unlife doesn't look too much better, so go to Armok as you should already", and to put this message in his corpse's body, and then go tell a priest to exorcise him. She tells me we have no priests, or paper, or coffins, and his body is in water; moreover she is a dwarf and incapable of such flowery writing. I tell her this does not concern me, and that I have full confidence in her abilities to do so, including putting the message on the floating body. Sure as hell not ME going down there.
To tired to continue for now, napping. Did you know I've been awake for 11 hours now? I'm such a brave person. I can really understand now why these people are so upset: No sleep.

Toady One's Ghost?Same thought. I wil exorcise him at soonest possiblity, but I'm more concerned about getting berzerkers into coffins first, don't want murderous ghosts showing up.

28th of Timber: Dodok above, more tantums? Why won't you guys just do your damn work? I swear I get no rest anymore. Anyway, when I was looking over some records, a medical forumite I questioned readily admitted to murder during the riots. So brazen, but I can't imprison him; we need those doctors. Still, we need a justice system, lest more murderers go free. Dungeon time!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A "better rest" program was instituted to increase morale, rooms have incresed in general furnishment.
The moderation team has been created. It is composed of nobles. They have weapons. (what have I done?)
Hmm, oh yeah! Progress on both the cage traps on the entrance and on more coffins is slow, due to people being injured and such. Hell, I imagine that if this fort wasn't compsosed almost entirely of migrants and the mad, we'd all be dead. As of right now, ther are too few forumites for a proper riot. BTW, the manager is tantrumming. Why can't it be the less useful forumites?
I decided to organize a thrips hunt, to bring levity to our problematic situation. We had an awfully large population o' thrips people near out entrance, and they're scaring the bejezzus out of anyone near by.
The manager was accused of murder by the admin. The manager is a member of the Moderation Team, so the manager decided to undo my order for execution. I send a select order out to loyalists to have him hunted down. The admin of all people follows my order and beats him to death in the dining room. Just another day in Hell I guess. I'm not even fazed.
While nobles fought, the thrips flew over the walls and entered the fort. The military hunted them down though; they are good, strong, inspiring exemplars: proudly exterminating semi-sentients for our protection.
And then, Merchants! We had no depot, so a temporary one was built inside the walls. They have lolcats and courage wolfs, so I hope to have to breed some guards.
With the death of the manager, I realize we have 3 nobles in total. Esther1 is assigned various position, including CMD, and Banhammerer. She is not happy. However, after having fulfilled her new room requrements, she begrudingly accepted. Oh, by the by, did you know she has two daughters? I did (now). Only one is still alive though.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
More ghosts, and the Trade depot is still not finished. On the other hand...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The trolls are killed, but the Haxxor disappears from view. I'm completely serious, thats actaully what what they told me :
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Unsure what or how to react, I stationed a squad near the entrance to ward off further attacks. The haxxor reappears slightly deeper into the fort, disappearing soon after. A troll thief is then seen approaching from the north, and a badger attacks our hammerforumite in the field. I don't even know. Tired of this, I order everyone into a single station near the entrance. The troll is taken down, and the hammerforumite bravely strikes down the badger.
The theif is still somewhere...

Part of the river froze today, Booze production has been ramped up in anticipation.
The badger hunt suceeded, all badgers have met with death, incuding the one who attacked the hammerforrmite earlier. I just found out that hammerforumite was mastahcheese. I learned this when I discovered what blood the badger was covered in.
The depot was not finished in time, and merchants have left.
(A CMD started beatin gon someone here, I didn't take pictures so instead I have this.

Our friend the Mad Mason of Necrothreat has decided to finally keeel over, and did so on the stone pile. The new mason shat herself.
The fort has begun to calm themselves. Forumites have begun to calm. The scars will heal. Except the blood and bodies, but thats decreasing too. I'm hopeful.
Moreover, I'm worreid about the state of the entrance. The infiltration of the fort by the haxxor worries me. Can they fly? I think not. In anycase, animals are being put in the front to facilitate detection.
Ghosts Ghosts Ghosts. This is seriouosly pissing me off, Mass slabbings are ongoing.
A woodworker goes batty, but but not in the way were they try to kill me.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He runs off to a carpenters shop and starts collecting wood, gold and stone. Hey, that reminds me, I need moar gold.
The entire river has frozen, and we have no booze. Shiiiiiit. Brewing has finally commenced, so I hope we can avoid more deaths.
Jesus, the more I look through this fort, the less I want to deal with it over the next year. Everything is everywhere else. I'm just trying to keep them all alive right now.
Haxxor showed up next to militia. It was amazing. It managed to strike the militia commander 4 times before running off. She never got a single shot off
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
God, If we were to mee these monsters in a actual engagement, we'd be slaughtered. I'm even considering use of the "Danger room method", one I highly disapprove of, just to keep tabs on these beasts. I mean seriously. That scares me.
The woodworker has started her construction. I swear, if she makes some useless piece of crap that just increases this forts value, She's getting thrown into the pit with the moat guard.

Awesomeeeee! I thought haxxors DID have teleportation power. That's why they vanish from view? Anyway, when I saw the haxxor, I was like - Aw shit.
Well theres currently no actual teleportation ability, I dont know the specifics but the way the haxxors "teleport" is basically by going invisible or something and reappearing somewhere else. My method involved a tag that bees use to model them dying when they sting something in conjunction with a interaction that transformed a dwarf, cat, or other random creature into a new haxxor. Basically "teleporting" right now is just about creating the best illusion of actual teleportation. My method unfortunately couldnt be used because tags weren't compatable and such, so the haxxors now use the disappearing method.
Post by: misko27 on September 17, 2012, 12:09:40 am
A marksdwarf gave birth today. I suppose thats good, assuming we can keep them away from the Haxxors grubby hands.
(http://i.imgur.com/9fYej.png)
A wild boar person hunt was organizaed right as another snatcher was seen. She punched the newborn then disappeared. She grabs the baby from the marksdwarf then disappears. Somehow, the military is still capable of sensing he is here, even as the newborn is carried off the map.
Following the request of some of the dwarves, I have not slabbed my friend Toady.
Little else has happened, and Spring strikes.

You're starting to sound a little paranoid, Misko... ;D If you want to keep them from coming in, all I can suggest is that you turtle and make sure there's no way to get in. I think they lockpick, too, btw.

Went over the military scheduling today, hope to fix it up. I ca't tell you how many forts haven't gone over their scheduling. Mostly because I wasn't awake when I was at those forts. I need a nap.
Anyway, Today a fisherforumite ran over to the river. At the time it was frozen, so I was curious to see what he was planning. Right as he got there, it unfroze. Psychic bastard.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I was disturbed to learn that I am not being let off my sentence, and I will still have to serve as overseer. Balls.
MUAHAHA! FINALY CAUGHT ONE OF THOSE SNEAKY BASTARDS!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Sure its not a Haxxor, but It won't stop me from drssing it up like one and dropping it into magma. hmm, no magma. In any case, I alerted the military of possible snatcher activity. A goblin is caught as well, but we see no further attacks. I hae installed a few war dogs, so no more damn haxxor will be finding their way in the fort.
During this I noticed that Mastah cheese is still on duty, despite multiple severe injuries. While I admire his dedication to duty, it decreases efficiency. He won't hear of it, however.
God, I'm just not sure what to do about this stockpile and workshop nightmare. Frankly, I'm not even going to tr to fix it, I'm just going to deal with it as best I can till I can pass this off on some unwitting fool.
Too many fishers, not enough craftsman. Story of my life. On the other hand who wants calamari?

Liason meeting is finally over, and here are the results.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Fascinating. I suppose I'll need these.
Metal is going slow, realized we haven't any charcoal so I haope to get enought to soon get some metal armor.
Put a few to rest, caught a goblin or 2, nothing intersting.
For reasons beyond my understanding, a couple of dwarves were stranded on the far side of one of the rivers.
A dissecter withdraws from society, At this point all I want is fewer dissecters, so as long as he doesn't make "HungryBarrel, The fish of Reckoning, a prepared fish", I'll be happy to see it.
A baby grew to be a Child. Good for him.
We finally got to those poor saps on the other side of the river. They were happy to see us, and came bearing fish. They had spent alot of time fishing.

We have a absolutely huge wave, bringing us to 68 dwarves. well, I gues rebuilding commences then. The military will be getting a increase
I have decided to put myself officially on record, because I could really use a bed. I will be a individual known as Fikod Lancerscales, a milker. I don't know much about milking, but I know I could probably Do it. I should probably enlist in the military, since I'm a little fat. I've noticed some ability with a axe, so I suppose I will use that.
our friend mister secretive has started on his construction. I wonder what that will be?
Barrels, We need barrels. And doors. Masons and carpenters are working non-stop.
Thrips people are annoying, military playing sad game of cat and mouse.
Bastard is done with his Artifact.

It occurs to me that our hammerdwarves have few hammers. As I attempt to rectify this, I realize i don't know what a banhammer is, nor what its made of.
I decided to open up the caverns when a herd of drunians came nearby. I sent the military after them, but they beat me to it and started attacking a dog. Since members of the military where engaged in trips fighting a breach into the fort occured.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I send the moderation team in to head them off. Esther1 shows up first, armed with a steel laptop, and goes martial trance, and starts beating them with it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
More military dwarves arrive on the scene as a elven caravan shows up. Fearing the posssiblity of a ambush while tied up so, I hastily bring them in a seal up the fort.
Esther1 bleeds to death as they gang up on her. Both members of the family are now dead, only their child remains. She gave her life in order to preserve the life of these citizens. Her sacrifice will not be in vain.
A Necrothreader snatcher has showed up. It lit alot of things on fire then disappeared.No clue whats going on here. In other news this fort is now surronded by legions of Giant Magpies and Grey Langur people. Why does all hate this fort?
The Grey langur people attack our entrance, but lagging members of the miltia are near and manage to push them back, but some start returning from the dead. A number of the remaining things in our outdoor refuse pile reanimate. I attempt to regai control, and a giant toad is attacking a marksdwarf deep in the fort I No Know why.
Most of the undead outside are killed, save for a random boar arm scaring those who would remove refuse, and the toad is dispatched. The fleeing elven merchants are also killed. Not getting away with the supplies THIS TIME.
Right now Were focusing on moving the large amount of newly created refuse deep in the fort. Banhammers are appearantly made of stone.
This debacle has reduced us to 50 dwarves, mostly military. I worry about the future. Mainly, we're going to need to get rid of fishers, and start turtling.

5th of Malachite: Well, I Decide its time to get this fort ready for a major military conflict. I just want the military to be strong enough to last until someone thinks of a better solution.
Well, Right now, I divide tasks into 2 groups: Fix theobvious glaring holes in defense, and move towards greater industrilization. Industrilization requires wood, And I have to say, I'm stuck between a rock and hard place with that one. Choice one: Outside, where the snatchers are. Choice 2?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Other problems include the LOS necro problem, where a necro can get on the hill and raise all the corpses in our yard, and the Dreaded Caverns, which are currently unguarded.
To help increase morale, a project has been suggested by one of the less Sane council members, a "BFEL" Birdstowers. She says we should build a great big tower and fill it with corpses. I wasn't entirely sure how to respond, but construction builds character, so I let her do it.
You know, looking over the citizenship records here, I'm surprised by the numbers of killers we have here. A few examples:
(http://i.imgur.com/gFG3I.png)
Killed 43 males elves did ya? Uh, okay. Are we at war with the elves or something? Not to my knowledge. They seemed friendly as the zombies surronded them, and when in the chaos our best dwarves ran after them to cut them down and steal their stuff, they didn't take it too hard. Elves are weird.

Troll attack, cavern-dwelling. Miner was in the area, ran over and beat it. Bunch of others showed up and did the same thing. At this point, it occurs to me that The main problem afflicting our armed forces is lack of weapons. I set out for some copper ones, at least until I melt down the goblinite. Right now we're using it in its raw form. Oh, and the marksdwarves joined and beat it with their laptops. It was a sad picture, I'll tell you. Especially when they started biting it. On the plus side, they' got some good fighting experiance.
I decided that, since we lack bolts, we may as well use bows. I've set up a bow-sqaud to this effect. Its hard finding the former-marksdwarves, since they don't want to join a bow squad, and while I don't blame them, It is vital for the fort. In addition, a Zombie-only Force will be created, soon as I get the materials.
Many are upset, but there has been no tantrumming. Tension bubbles below the surface. I can only hope our luck holds out a bit longer, till people start to forget our losses. There is one exception, a angry ghost who possesed someone into tantruming, but that doesn't count.
It would appear a kidnapper stole a lolcat. I'm not entirely sure why, and no one wants to explain it to me. To increase security, I have added a few hooved grazing animals to our defenses. Trololololo right back at you guys.

EDIT: Apiks, it may have been hard to tell, but your new dorf actually killed 2 trogs. It killed the first one by severing, and the seconds skull was , well, pick'd. There may be more to come, assuming they didn't all run off. I've never actually seen trogs run away before. You pretty much single-handedly drove off the entire attack, and you did so as a civilian, because I didn't noticethe fight until after the fact. I was focusing on a scuffle between 2 buffalo.

Awesome. lol I was hoping we had an ore of iron somewhere. How are the corpses coming, do we have them all underground? And are we raising the walls up top so that necrothreaders can't send fireballs our way?Yes, Iron. The lack was killing me. I so wish we had gold hammers, but iron will do fine.
Did I mention we have a mountain of gold? Cause we do. I could spend the rest of my turn doing only smelting related-activities, and still not have smelted all of it. Or even much of it.
Corspes are mostly underground, one or two stay ears remaining. Still haven't managed to get all dwarves into coffins. There are a lot of corpses. I forgot to raise walls, doing so.

Atleast we won't have to worry about trade in that case and whether or not we have the funds. The question is - Who's gonna make a megaproject made outta pure gold.
The problem with this is that we would have to find a way to convert gold into corpses.
A giant cave of falling gold maybe? Golden Minecarts flinging gold at gobbos?

I imagine her as just skipping around, driving her pick into trogs when applicable. The survivers flee.

SILVER HAMMERS! About TIME! This should aid greatly in our fight against the undead hordes.
Things slowly progress, this is probably a running theme at this point. I'm upset about how little in the way of burial is occuring, our miners have still not mined out the temporary extension to the catacombs. Must be because their too busy mining out gold (or, in aoiks case, mining skulls). Bah, no one is helpig me here.
Did I mention I'm in the hospital? Yes well, after the recent attack, I injured my self. Curses, I know, But Its why I've been recieving reports from others instead of the real deal. I think I've figured out why though. It turns out the CMD has been incapacitated themself. How odd. I was in a seperate room, so I didn't know. Bastards. All I still need is a immobilization, so I hope to be out of here soon.
The troglodytes dispersed. One of them started chaisng a random mechanic, while the militia chased him. What a terrifying game of hide-and-seek.
(http://i.imgur.com/aLwAH.png)
The militia caught up with them before any serious damage could be done,and the trog was killed. A counter-attack was then launched by the trogs, getting the jump on the dwarves there. Meanwhile, Apiks, slayer of the trog, decides the best use of his time is to store something in a bin.
(http://i.imgur.com/akYMv.png)
A maceforumite is killed. A hammerforumite arrives on the scene and dispenses basalt-based justice while the afore-mentioned mechanic is single-handedly beating to death a trog. A hammerforumite arrives with a granite banhammer and finishes him off.I think its safe to say the trogs have been BANNED.
A Troll shows up right next to the combat zone immediately after. It kills a random bowforumite and engages in bloodthirsty combat with a hammerforumite before highmax, ( member highmax? that recent migrant), attacks from behind, teariing it to shreds.
(http://i.imgur.com/sKvLV.png)
The fights going on in the centrance are becoming weirder. tell me, how does this occur?
(http://i.imgur.com/nAVxH.png)
I wil be sure to ask someone that. I'm begining to think that the reports I'm recieving are less then accurate. I'm going to need to reprimand some people upside the head when I'm able.
The wall that prevents LOS for necros is finally being put up. Progress is being made on the smoothing and furnishing front. Coffins are being built. No one has removed the elf corpses in the front yard though, might have to dump'em.
Uh oh. The frienly humans have arrived. You knwo what that means? I do. I quickly order all corpses moved inside. Corpses start moving soon enough, and I order the bridge closed. Better lose a few then all.
A dog shows great bravery in charging the corpses, giving us time to pull the lever. A fleeing horse notices a necromancer. The dogs and a jackal charge him, injuring him but not sufficiently.
He enters the fort proper, and raises various things.A miner manages to seal te gate so his friends can't help him out. The militia kills him quickly and kills the undead in the walls with acceptable casualties. I dragged myself out there to help, and I have to say, a funny image was the strange mood guy running right through the melee to grab a piece a leather. As the last head is crushed, the bridge finally raises. Gonna be a freaking while before It lowers in MY power. Turtling it is, opening only for migrants. Now, the only threat is from ourselves.
(http://i.imgur.com/ibJH5.png)
What? Infighting between the monsters? Are they not united agains the forces of good? Weird.
Anyway, after battle report. Our bowforumites were of a great help, and will be counted on in the future. It was one of them that actually delivered the finishing blow to the necro, a Dastot Gearedmine.
(http://i.imgur.com/yH5Cz.png)
At one point in the fighting, a undead spotted a kobold. That poor kobold never ran as fast as he did now. Many members of our quickly drafted militia are injured, It will require a hospital Expansion.
I've looked around, spoken to people, trying to get afeel on things, and the Fort is mostly content. A number of fines. one or 2 happys, a small number of unhappys and 1 miserable. I think we will perservere.
Also, LOL, did this happen again?
(http://i.imgur.com/Z14AB.png)
A head is up there, watching people, scaring haulers. The Bowdwarves are taking potshots at it. Yo, stop it, the ammo is scarce. Eh, let them have it, we could use the damn practice. I'd rather a few guys get awesome shots of then everyone miss.
My spies report that a necro is caught in a cage outside. Huh. The bastard can get comfortable, cause He'll be there for a while.
The archers kill off the last 2 undead. I temporarily open up so that dead may be retrieved. That necro is going to get Hammered.
BTW, A bunch of random epople got kills, no named people got killed, go day, I think. Greycat got a kill. BFEL is missing a hand, and has moter damage in the other one. That didn't prevent him from getting kills though. We're at 48 forumites.
Post by: BFEL on September 24, 2012, 08:30:46 am
Everything in there is pure gold, the cow and the horse, the monster infighting (prob cuz threadzombies have emotions, unlike normal zombies) and of course the zombie head potshots. All of that is just pure win.
Also you might wanna keep that necro caged and not kill him, cuz eventually you could totally weaponize him against a gobbo seige or something.
Also MAH POOR HAULIN HANDSISIS

It appears our friend highmax is still upset about his wifes death. He killed 2/3 of all the trogs himself, one of them single handedly. Actually, imemdiately follwoing this combat report he jumps onto a trog rushing at the militia and bisects his skull in one attack. Looks like we have our hero.
Our secretive friend has still not finished colecting things for his useless junk colection. He draws bizzare pictures of gems, leather, and quarries. Well, we have oceans of useless stone, gems, and leather, so I assume its metal blocks he wants.
A thief is seen by our guard animals.

He runs off.
A party is organized by a child. How utterly useless. We are so short on manpower, and the only upset dwarf went mad a while ago.
Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that. She lost her mother and went mad, stripping to her pants and quiver. Lordy, Thats just wrong. I, lacking the power to jail her for this, arrest her for murder.
My reports have said hat the miners have found Cats eye. Uh, what? I sincerly hope that is a gem, and not solidified cat optical systems.

Thats, not, good. It attacks a yak, then a recruit, then focuses on strangling a jackal. The rest of the militia shows up, and attacks the werecapybara, missing consistently, while it attempts to strangle the jackal. A recruit actually becomes a hammerforumite while trying to wail on it. It is impressive, onl a few hit it, like a bowforumite with a arrow, and the admin with his laptop. Well, at least they're practicing.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Right as the jackal suffocates, the WereCapybara turns into a reptile women. She appears to have picked up some skillz from her time dodging the entire militia, as she manages to dodge all of their attacks. She runs off dodging the attacks and arrows enough to run off the map. Uhh, okay. That was weird.
One dwarf was bitten by the woman. I do't know if he was infected, by he will be quarantened nonetheless.
Our secretive friend is appearantly not just a mad collecter, and has decided to construct something.
A Fight betwee a Cave crocodile and a glassmaker ended in tragedy today. it appears like he kicked in the face, and this enraged it. After it had started mauling him, the militia was forced to euthanize the beast. Unfortunately, the first on the scene was a recruit, who was shredded before our friend The Enthusiast appeared and dissected the crocodile. (The recruit died following this incident, probaby for the best, as his arm was gone, as well as being viscously mauled.)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He was not able to kill the beast, however, due to its tough hide. A recruit wielding a banhammer appeared and finished the job.

A farmer was shifting through the seeds when some burnt crumpled paper tumbles out.
The papers are almoste unreadable but the signature at the end was as clear as day, Sprin. The overseer from the horible misreble time about a year ago.
The farmer went to the arciver to recover the infamous history of Necrothreat...
Damn that Danbur, he stuck me with the task of overseer, IAM A DOCTOR NOT AN OVERSEER!!! Well if he thinks this is funny I'll evict his arese and move into his room.
NURSE WE ARE CHANGING SHOP!!!

For some reason I imagine that everything that happened was entirely according to DorfSprins plan.
Also I imagine him using the phrase FOOLISH FOOLS more then necessary. Which is to say I see him using that phrase at some point :P

By the way, when Sprin releases enough of those, we need to have links to those parts on page 2 for easier locations, in case someone wants to fanart this fort into a comic or something.

Anyway, If shes kills the baby, I have a solution. I'll lock up the necromancer next door, so when the monster kills the baby, the baby'll come back to life, attacking the mother. Because of the necro, the baby will continue arising and attacking, so eventually, it should kill the mom. If its doesn't well, I'm a evil Son of a elf.
I feel weak, Despite my time in the hospital, I still have uet to get better. I fear I won't even live to see the end of my term as overseer. They spend much time not focusing on not feeding me, Just the other day a miner dehydrated in the bed right next to me. I fear for my life.
I decide that I will make a posterboard to keep the poulace informed. I'm not good with drawings, so I will take some time inbetween posters.
Our poor friend the mad Bone carver is still alive, despite numerous beatings. Asshole. She has been accused now of triple murder, including that of killing Sprin the mad docter twice.
MIGRANTS. YES. YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE. EVERY SINGLE ON OF YOU. YOU ARE GOING TO ALL BURN IN ARMOKS PERSONAL PISS-HOLE.
RANDOM DOOMED MIGRANT TIME:

Odd assortment of Skills.
10 migrants in total. Most are skilled in the military.
A spinner goes Weird in the head and refuses to speak to anyone. He claims a craftsshop and decides his little project requires gold ore.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
My worst fears have been confirmed. Worst yet, the baby in question was none other then Super-baby. The baby fought long and hard, but none could withstand the might of the capybara. His Brother has been informed of the incident, and he has woved to carry on his legacy. Of toddler rage.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The mother returned to normal at the end of the night, and expressed great confusion and grief at the sudden death of her child. She accused us of murdering her child in the middle of the night, to justify our quarentine of her and presumbable sacrifice to our dark gods. I resealed the wall, and her denial was silenced as the last block moved into postion. Archer stations are being made.
(NOTE TO FUTURE OVERSEERS: She turns around the 10th)
A sword dwarf that happened to be running by the water near the time of the incident was surrounded by peach-faced lovebirds. I don't know why he reacted to lovers in the way that he did, but I assume he was justified. All of a sudden, he rushes at them, with a strange look in his eye. He stabs a number of them, and forces the others away from the fort.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A Engraver Ran up to me demanding that he be renamed "GoombaGeek" in honor of his Human great-Grandfather, as the price for his works of art. I asked him why the hell he was asking me. He said all new names had to go through the overseer. I gave him the paper apropos and sent him on his way.

Caravan.
I put up the posters I made and copied earlier. Here is the first one made by our clothier:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Troglodytes have once again reappeared. The Troglodytw war wages on.
As soon as the dwarven caravan is safely inside our walls, a ambush was sighted. A Zombie ambush. I did not even know they existed.
I have convinced certain members of the fort to part with their trinkets of bone and tooth, so We will manage to trade some usefullness.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The trogs present themselves as a formidable force, attempting to enter the fort with a Olm leading the way. A door is locked in there path, which delays them enough for The military to mass. The attack is swift, and brutal. The trogs are are dead.
Meanwhile, a second ambush is spotted, which scares off a yak, and is shot full of arrows.
The The Bowforumites practice their archery while the Undead Soldiers practice their arrow dodging. the rest of the fort watches. The Diplomat is already ready to leave, despite being aware of the undead horder outside. I swear I've never seen such ability to get through negotiations.
Our infected friend's day of transformation was the 7th theis month. How interesting.
Most of the undead are caught by traps, whilst others are injured by arrows. Just a few are alive. I'd open the gates, but frankly, the fact is the undead are better armored then us. That isn't good.

Anyway, the last 2 picture spoilers are the same (thought I'd notify you about that).

Golden age? If you define golden age as "not actively on fire", then sure, yeah. I simply see a calm before the storm, from which we will comeout, injured, into a new era. seriously, In one of my frequent save-scums caused by forgetting thingsm te fort was being ambushed, not by zombies, but by a squad of flamethrowing, dead raising monsters. Seriously. we are Screwed unless the next overseer can help us. I spent almost this entire year repairing damage and building basic infrastructure. I really wish you had droke through the aquifer indoors, cause Right now the fort is divided in 2 should someone capture the courtyard.
Post by: apiks on September 30, 2012, 11:16:07 pm
Anyway, the "Golden age" was a bad thought of pun that has to do with the massive amounts of gold that Talvieno I guess will smelt and make use of it.
Post by: misko27 on September 30, 2012, 11:22:08 pm
Well sorry about the aquifer but I got really irritated with it. My first attempt failed althought I thought it'd work due to a simple mistake and I just couldn't afford mistakes and time was cutting short.Still wish we could make gold stuff. Right now, All metal is being requisitioned into armor, of which we have none, by far the largest reason for our failures.

And as for the were-capybara, atom smash it, drown it in that hole in the ground with the human, or pit it in magma or off a cliff, SOMETHING to kill it brutally! Hopefully with no blood, so magma would work... If we can get it to that z-level where the magma is, we won't have to wall it off and have a were-capybara howling in our halls! ;D
Serioisly though, use that seige as a prophecy or something, thats like a story builder there!

6th of Obsidian:Uh oh, The strange mooder decided he doidn't have enough of something, and is currently obtaining tooth. From forum faces.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He starts off by attempting to borrow a few from the surgeon, though the surgeon dodged him until someone arrived. The first on the seen was a military recruit. He beat the little beast and was doing pretty well until the marksforumite shot him in the leg. Armor, we need armor.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Geez, U mad bro? A hammerforumite sees this exchange, rushes at the guy, and beats him with the hammer till he dies.
Now with that unpleasant out of the way, I must admit diary, I feel sicker and sicker. If I continue like this, I may die. If I do, be aware my sister will take over for the duration of my term. A fine lass she is, just arrived in the recent migrant wave. she'll keep it alive till its time.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
FUCK YOU GHOSTS. BACK TO YOUR MAKER.
I have grown weary of the ambush. they do not leave, and The dwarven caravan must leave soon. I resolve to open the fort up, knowing I may doom it. Theres only 3 of them left though, and theres like 30 of us.
The first person out of the gate is a marksdwarf not where he should be. He rushes a swordsmen into the last cage trap and follows a axeman, getting beaten in the process.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This doesn't make sense. Why is anything bouncing off leather. We need more leather armor, it seems.
the marksdwarf is run off after suffering several injuries. He is chased everywhere by the axezombie. A marksdwarf follows them and substitues himself for a while in fighting him unitl a milita captian shoes up. Frankly, I'm worried by the fact it dodged so many attacks. This was counter-balanced by the weight of their armor, which slowed them enough that the forumites got the largest majority of the attacks.
Right as the miltia commander earns his hammering "wings" so to speak, he is injured. which slows him down enough so that the axe man can strike back, which he does quickly and elegantly. At this point though, highmax arrives, and swiftly dismembers the beast.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another one joins in the brawl, and the injured frind wakes up.
The fight goes on forever. the dwarves are incapable of killing them, but injure them more and mroe heavily, while they does so in kind. After the highmax had cut off 2 legs, 1 hand, and a arm, and the creature was still up and injuring, the drew on. Eventually the creature smashes its shield (its sword had been lost) against highmax's head, knocking him out. The fight rages on for days, months, until, finally, a hammerdwarf succeds in crushing the remaining ones skull. The results of this incodent show me several things:
1. Fights with these creatures can and do go up as long as 66 pages.
2. 66 page long reports aer very heavy, and will crush your desk.
3. These creatures cna be killed by any method other then bleeding.
4. It is very very hard to kill them, and they are highly trained.
5. If this been a actual engagement we'd all be dead.

My goodness. I don't want to think what the serious part of the mod is when we can't even handle this part. Keep them up Misko. Liking them.I;m more worried by the fact that he actually broke highmaxs skull.
without a weapon. He smshed his skull with a shield.
He survived though, so i guess its okay. The reason it messes with me though is that hes kinda aour champion, and these things just really hurt him.
Post by: apiks on October 02, 2012, 11:48:31 pm
Post by: misko27 on October 02, 2012, 11:58:52 pm
He'll be fiiiine. It's Highmax. I doubt much harm can come in his path. As for the shield part though, well that's amazing. I don't want to see them with an actual weapon.I saw that, briefly, on what they did to the yaks. *shudders*
Anywaym why it is generally best to have zombie squads be hammers, the fact of the matter is that bisection would work very well with these. If highmax hadn't cut off his leg, and slahsed the axe from his arm...
The speed thing I noticed though. Because our dwarves are unarmored, they are very light and quick, and the marksdwarf was able to get off many shots before the axeman was able to even return fire so to speak. That, is the real saviour today. Alot more causalties would have occured. As of now our entire military managed to kill them with no losses, thouh a few will require hospitalization.

Speaking of tehlolmod did you make the threadzombies into an entity? Is this why they are ambushing and using equipment? Or was it one of the tags I just threw in for flavor? I know that so far we have seen the zombies fight amongst themselves and this was probably either because they now are prone to rage or that unlike normal zombies, emotions and the LIKES_FIGHTING tag are not removed however I dont know how they would be using equipment unless you put them in a entity.

*Ironic Mode off*
Post by: highmax28 on October 04, 2012, 03:41:50 pm
Oh how wonderful. Everyone wants us to die against some more heavily-than-us armored thread zombies that can even equip weapons, go into a trance and even have emotions for all we know. And what's everyone doing? They're happily lolygagging and having so much fun of our ultimate indesposable demise against what is called a High Lord Threadomancer who can ressurect dead threads from forums and revive thread zombies that aid him in ressurecting that same threads. Yeah. Everything is just about fine. Nothing wrong with that. Carry on.Im going to change up some song lyrics now for our situation:
*Ironic Mode off*
Here comes evil's twin
His armies have arrived
The death lord rises from the flames
High Lord Threadromancer Laughs
Fires lights his path
His armies are full of primal hate
Translation: We're screwed!

Have you guys considered polishing the mod off and publishing it? I find it a little mean to deprive others of this wonderful nightmare. Also, next version must have berzerk wolves.
BTW, I randomly tossed a few war trainable tags in, soo If you happen to see a war lolcat, you haven't gone mad.

Speaking of tehlolmod did you make the threadzombies into an entity? Is this why they are ambushing and using equipment? Or was it one of the tags I just threw in for flavor? I know that so far we have seen the zombies fight amongst themselves and this was probably either because they now are prone to rage or that unlike normal zombies, emotions and the LIKES_FIGHTING tag are not removed however I dont know how they would be using equipment unless you put them in a entity. Which is totally cool, its hilarious to see them being more heavily armored then the dwarves. Can't wait till one trances....Yes, I looked through the mods files when I downloaded it, they DO have their own entity.
Basically, when this mod was being developed, when Talvieno suggested Necrothreaders, he suggested them as a secret like necros are, or as a full-on entity, and then decided to do BOTH at the same time.

YEAH
Post by: misko27 on October 04, 2012, 11:19:00 pm
Ok the ten finger thing? That means it can shoot 10 fireballs.That wasn't my experiance, although it did look alot like anime, what with the squad shooting constant fireballs that looked almost like machine gun fire/ (I am speaking about a experiance that occured when I left DF running, this, fortunately, did not occur ingame) It was so funny watching them attempting to kill the zombie wuth their rapid-fire shots and failing miserably.
Simultaneously.
Every turn if I'm not mistaken.
YEAH
Adventure mode would be bitching. Are you guys ever planning to publish it? I think necrothreat could provide screenshots.

Of course, use machine guns on zombies, i don't think that idea has been used before.Not flying necromancer wizard squads shooting fire, no. Plus it doesn't even work on zombies.
Or at least not in a video game.
Post by: apiks on October 04, 2012, 11:48:15 pm
But yeah. If we got somebody to actually add,remove and/or polish the mod, it'll be published. Otherwise in it's current state, it needs a few minor tweaks to make it playable and can be pushed right into their LOL mouths. As per now, the only way to download the mod (this isn't even the latest version. The latest version has fixed lolcats) is from the main comment (page 2) on this topic. (Or alternatively manualy finding it on the DFFD without knowing of this succession fort)

I would be willing to try helping with "teh mod" in my spare time, but I would probably rather just make stuff to try to add, rather than try to bug-fix, simply because I wouldn't know If I was fixxing a problem, or changing a fundamental aspect of a well-liked addition, so I would just stick to my own stuff and send it to you guys.I already added war-lolcats, so theres that. Just, because. I couldn't resist.
But I'll try to make the mod more elaborate in order to help out.

Icould help out too, mostly dealing with artificial cosmetic stuff. But I can still be useful. My first thought is the BERZERK WOLF.

It wasn't your experience because those are normal threadnecromancers, only the high lord has the "ten fireballs at once" thing going on....I think.....then again I didn't even think to give the normal ones the fireballs, that was Talvi's idea so he might have just copy pasted the High Lord Threadnecromancer's spells onto the normal ones. I hope not though, that would kinda make the High Lord feel less badass, as we already would have fought something just about as powerful, but in greater numbers.
I was holding back on telling what I thought was his most powerful ability, but turns out it probably won't work. I set the range on his necro spell to a ridiculous number, with the intent that he would be able to raise things even deep in the fort, but then I realized they need line of sight so....crap... He's probably not gonna be all that scary after all....:(

Umad BFEL? I can imagine all the dwarf corpses we'll have just by fighting the zombies. If that High lord necrothreader gets any line of site whatsoever of the battle of our dwarves and his zombies, we're utterly screwed. It's like converting our own troops against us when they hit 0 Hitpoints. I can already sense the agony and screams with pain.I think when it comes to my turn, we're going to be utterly screwed...

Secondly, If you guys are seriously talking about an Anthem, I can make some music I guess but I'll need a little chorus going on here and there which means that I'll be needing some voices mashed in together with lyrics.
Thirdly, I would like to know what happened in GlideSnarls as well. This is just plain ridiculous of them killing elves left and right.
Fourtly. I'm adding all the "fun/famous" lines that we have had in this thread, as well as Sprin's mini-stories in the main post (Page 2). So I suggest you guys post on which lines should be added (such as Sprin's Foolish fools)

So, um, he has been buried in one of the few gold sarcophogi we have, as he asked.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Okay, the reason I'm writing this is the Misko stated his last wish was that Our famlily finish out the year, and that he not be rememberedlike Sprin, as one who failed, but as himself, one who brought much greatness to te fort despite hardship.
So, My job is to keep the fort alive for the rest of the month. Doesn't sound so hard.
First order of buisness is the honering of Highmax the Hero. I am supposed to publish this list, but also keep in mind he contribution is not limited to it, for example, he was instrumental in defeating the thread zombies, as well killing the cave crocodile.
Upon the 12th being reached, many of the forumites begged me to seal the entrance. I asked why, as there were good men injured out there, but they said that they had rescued highmax so who cared. Feeling confused and worried I ordered the closing. I soon found out why.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It soon disappeared, so the fort wentsearching for the beast. Meanwhile a actual ambush by them occured outside. Thats not good. They killed the war horse and the war lolcat, and a second ambush was seen across the southern river.
Well shit. Fortunately, they appearantly were not aware of the injured dwarves outside, so they were safe for now. In addition, the haxxor thief decided to get the fuck out and fled using the caverns.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Seriously? SERIOUSLY? That person may well be already dead, so impossible to tell now. If I find then, A: They're going to fight our werecapybara, and b: Will get a present for killing a child. Armok knows we don't need useful forumites being killed.
Anyway, deciding to be more helpful then they were last time, the grey langurs attack the haxxors. Unfortunately, they also attracted the haxxors to the injured.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well shit. Being more useful, the thrips people decided to fuck the Haxxors brains, since they run back and forth trying to hit them.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The fort remains calm, save for 1. I imagine most of them are used to tragedy by now.
While looking through the migrant records, I found something, interesting.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well hello mister vampire.
A child threw a party. It was kinda interesting, although the theme of "At least WE'RE not dead yet" was probably a bit of a damper.
I've been called up to join the bowsquad. Ordanarily I'd say no, especially considering my brother, but I really want to help.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That was fast. He took three pieces of golld nuggets and one tetrahedrite.
A ghost was put to rest, and another is on the way out. The werecapybara turned on the 27th this month. interesting. Anyway, she is pretty depressed, what with not having shoes, and being haunted by the ghost of here undead child.
Well, thats it. My hort time of Overseer is up, and I can only hope that our family name will be forever remembered.

EDIT:
I just saw the fort and I got some reccomendations:
1) TAKE THE DAMN CMD OUT OF THE MILITARY! We have a full hospital and we need him for diagnostics!
2) Destroy the damn were capybara and the vampire... We need less creatures of the night...
3) Remove the corpse stockpile from the front gate... We're worried about an impending doom approaching, so we can avoid that...
4) Let the haxxors run around and do thier own thing... Unless they come towards the fortress or enter it with haxx, we're ok!
5) Get more people to do healthcare jobs, I think thats how everyone in there is dying of thirst and whatnot... Plus I don't want to die in that stinkhole!
6) Get more soldiers AFTER we get migration waves! We're at 36 fourmites and we need more people to come to our aid...
7) Dig deeper, we need more resources for iron and whatnot... Mostly magma so we can torch the corpses of Non- Fourmites
8) Start a military based on sparring sessions, two person squads
9) Deal with the people in the hospital first! We need people on that RIGHT AWAY!!! Especially since half of our population is either in the hospital or outside guarding...
10) For armoks sake, DO US A FAVOR AND KEEP ME ALIVE!!! I want my fourmite to live till my turn!

Also Toady One, you were Forumited during my turn but you,eh, died during my first attempt at a plug for the aquifer. Now you haunt people with no way as of yet to retain your body.
Main Post (page 2) has been updated with the last update of Misko's turn and the savegame. Now it's time to see what Talvieno will cook up for us. Can't wait *watches with puppy eyes*.
Post by: Talvieno on October 07, 2012, 06:02:13 am
Okay. First first. I just got an idea how we could implement the future "expanded" version into the mod into the succession fort. Firstly, when the fort dies out and everybody is happy with how it died, I or someone else will create a background story of how 7 dwarves went to another place (new genned world so that the expanded mod works) and they settle there. Since this succession fortress is more about the mod than the actual fortress, I think this might work. But it'll take a long (very long) time until we are depleted with this one so this remains for future discussion. For the story we could make it so that somebody managed to escape from Necrothreat and was forced to gather an expedition to go to settle somewhere. But Necrothreaders all wish for our demise so they follow us everywhere (thus why we settle near a tower whilst the escaped-from-Necrothreat dwarf thinks it's safe) until our utter demise.As to expanding the mod, I had a ton of ideas that I never really got a chance to implement, but as I said before, I'm a bit distracted with my other mod. :P
Secondly, If you guys are seriously talking about an Anthem, I can make some music I guess but I'll need a little chorus going on here and there which means that I'll be needing some voices mashed in together with lyrics.
If you need singing, I'll try to help... I can't guarantee anything epic, but I'll do my best. Hopefully you have a good sound editor, because I don't have a thing, and can only record on an MP3 player. :P
I think it was awesome that Toady commented. :D I never got to see the spambot post, though.
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?I'm here, I'm just being quiet and watching... and dreading my turn. :P And... I guess it's my turn now, then. I need to work on the Vanya story this morning (edit: that's Spearbreakers, to clarify), but I'll see how far I can get with the save this afternoon (hopefully), and I'll (hopefully) have something ready for you guys. I still haven't decided what I'll replace Debner's character with.
edit: I'm running behind on everything lately. :-\ I still need to update the second post in Spearbreakers. Still. >.> But don't worry, I'll do this first. :P Wouldn't leave you guys hanging.

So impending doom is probably from a normal threadnecromancer... And btw, all of them are considered gods... literally, theyre associated with stuff!
Post by: Talvieno on October 07, 2012, 11:55:29 am
Allrighty then, this is the journal-log-thingy-whatever of Sarge Boatbores, Militia Captain. I'm a military man... I served my country... I did my time in making the world a better place.
And my country sends me here. Well, if that doesn't beat all that's good and holy in this world, I don't know what does. I mean, look at this place! It's a doggone bonafide mess, for crying out loud! Coffins aboverock, corpses everywhere, and there's a DOG stuck WITH HER PUPPIES on top of the aquifer shaft! It's a miracle she survived the fall! She will be our mascot. Perhaps we can immortalize her in obsidian at some point - a fitting end to a marvelous hero.
And...
by the gods...
Haxxors. There are HAXXORS alive right outside the fortress. ALIVE! OUTSIDE!
I cannot emphasize this enough. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
Being a military man, I put my thinker to the grindstone and used my combat experience to come up with a brilliant tactical strategy to defeat them with. It wasn't long before I'd gathered my troops together... Ah, I remember the day well... The day I took charge...
The carpenters hastily cobbled together a stage for me to stand on, and I began my speech.
"Gentlemen," I said, my voice ringing clearly through the room, "Today, we are going to defeat the foul-footed creatures that plague us! They will not steal our poor souls today, because fear not! I am here!
"My blessed bretheren of the forums, today, we build... A MIGHTY TOWER!"
There was some murmuring among the ranks, I kid you not.
"OHHHHHH, yes," I assured them with a roar. "We're building a TOWER! A tower that will reach TO THE HEAVENS with its mighty... rock... things... BUT BEWARE! From THIS TOWER we will LAUNCH items onto the poor fool's heads below, and they will be flattened! NONE shall survive the might of Necrothreat!"
"Sarge, I don't think that's the best idea," Mastacheese said. "You see, I -"
"WHAT?!" I interrupted him with a majestic roar. "DO YOU DOUBT ME, MORTAL??"
This brought curious glances from the assembled group, and raised eyebrows. No doubt they saw the validity of my question.
"Mastahcheese, tell me," I said, lowering my voice, "How old am I, today?"
He didn't even have to check his records. "Eighty-seven, sir," he replied promptly.
"That's right," I grinned, thumping him on the back. "And what can live to be eighty-seven, Mastahcheese?"
The global moderator hesitated, clearly stumped by my brilliance. "Um... A tree?"
"No, of course not!" I roared. "A goblin, you fool! And how long do goblins live??"
"Forever - they have no max age."
"THAT'S RIGHT!" I shouted, trying to give him another thump on the back. He sidestepped it - how rude. "Magnificent, my friend! They never die naturally! And what else never dies?!"
He remained silent.
"Anyone?" I asked, peering out over the crowd. "Anyone at all? Surely somebody knows what -"
A little child spoke up from the back of the room. "A god?"
"YES!!!" I roared gleefully. "EXACTLY SO! I am a GOD, my friend Mastahcheese. Thou shalt not doubt me today!"
Mastahcheese frowned. "We don't have enough stone, sir."
I froze, and the smile slowly faded from my face. "Oh... I suppose that does present a problem, yes... Well... I suppose... I decree that we shall simply stay underground and wait til this is all over!"
As I exited the stage, I cried out, "AND GET THOSE COFFINS DEEPER UNDERGROUND! We don't want necrothreaders raising old threads all over the place!"
And thus began my reign.
My reign over a fortress of 36 lacklimb dwarves.

The CMD is in fact in the milifary, hes also the only half decent diagnostian, so he must be kept alive.
We are facing a severe man-power shortage. Everyone is constantly busy.
Maybe we should make BFEL the broker/Docter, you don't need hands for that right?

We should, for the next update of the mod, create a thieving grazer animal called the "Wild SpamBot". And then, in honor of the first ever sentient spambot, we should make a skulking civ to replace the kobolds, which would comprise spambots that have gained sentience.

What's the full spambot story? Toady removed all the posts, and I never got a chance to see them. Why exactly are you saying it's sentient?
And yeah, I only took a quick look at the fort (slow, man, seriously - lol), but it looks like there's a LOT that needs to be done. :P
Post by: misko27 on October 07, 2012, 06:39:36 pm
:D Awesome idea. Spambot.Okay, First there was a spam bot, doing spam botty things. I called you guys out by saying a spambot had posted before you. Then, the spambot responded going "All New guys are spams?". Freaked out, I asked it how was life in india. I had a friend up in Kazahkistain It could go meet. It wondered why I was mentioning a kazakh friend. I got really freaked here, started telling everyone not to scare it, and The Toady Cavarly arrived, deleting its comments. Appearantly it then sent a confused face to toady.

and now I'm telling Talv'y that he's insane.
now I'm telling Talv'y
Talv'yNecrothreat: The place your name gets chopped to bits.
That whole spambot thing is ultra-freaky. It sounds like some bizarre cross between a spambot and cleverbot (which isn't actually real AI, by the way). Still, makes for a good ghost story. :D If you're a robot. (Portal 2 reference)

What is this!
This? Oh nothing. Just a succession fort based on a custom made mod especially for it in which war lolcats exist, haxxor, Necrothreaders who can shoot 1 fireball per finger, PER TURN, Toady one is killed during the first year because of the first aquifer plug, Gray Langurs battling thread zombies for our sake, wounded men both inside and outside, massive amounts of corpses aboveground all ripe for the Necrothreaders, instruments such as signs and avatars, laptops as crossbows who don't even fire anything (You beat thread zombies with laptops!), dwarfs are now forumites and we have had many great forumites such as the Lover of Apiks who stopped a troglodyte attack with his pick, the fort has MASSIVE amounts of gold which in the end is useless, Banhammers that...well... ban creatures, several job names are changed, Trolls which troll us, near death of Necrothreat during the mad doctor's reign, fort was stolen for a short amount by Denber and overruled my rule, some forumites who have each killed 43 male elves in Glidesnarls, our mascot Highmax who has lost limbs but still persists, attacks by sentient spambots in this very thread in which Toady One comes to our rescue, random insane blabber that mostly has nothing to do with anything at all, discussion on how the mod should be advanced, a werecabybara mother that killed her child and is currently locked in a room and she weeps for her child most of the time whilst being denied death, thread zombies are with armor which makes it nearly impossible to kill them whilst they are not with weapons, our only ranged weapon is bows that works, impending doom is nearing.
Nothing out of the ordinary you can see. Completely normal NecroThreat Standard. Continue.
Post by: highmax28 on October 08, 2012, 08:15:54 am
EDIT:
FOURMITES OF NECROTHREAT! I GIVE YOU:
THE HISTORIES OF GLIDESNARLS!
I discovered that Glidesnarls is a forest retreat that was pillaged by fourmites in 142, where they pillaged the entire retreat, in 204 where fourmites just came in and killed EVERYTHING, and in 248 where the last history of glidesnarls is about an elf who devoured a fourmite (this last one was a failure for us fourmites)
I have also discovered too that the first attack, led by a vampire, had sucessfully killed their queen, and thus, making me beleive that glidesnarls may possibly think of us as an enemy... Yay elven seiges! :P

Guys, I just checked the legends screen, and apparently theres SEVERAL lord high threadnecromancers, and the problem: they all died :'(
So impending doom is probably from a normal threadnecromancer... And btw, all of them are considered gods... literally, theyre associated with stuff!
Well shit.......
Oh and they are all gods because they have the POWER tag, which lets them claim to be gods and gain worshippers. They probably all died after taking over cities and stuff and fighting in wars so yeah. Badass.

WELL, it appears MS FATH (who the freak gave her such a STUPID NAME) is throwing a tantrum.
(http://tnypic.net/b868c.png)
Hilariously, she's strapped to a traction bench. AND ASLEEP. How the freak she's managing to do it, I don't know. She just lays there, screaming wildly in between snores. Frankly, it's the funniest thing in the world. I tried to sell tickets, but it seems nobody wanted to take a seat next to the corpses in the hospital. Why, I don't know.
Nah, you know what? I'm renaming her. Fath is a stupid name. I'll give her something more feminine-sounding. Something pretty.
(http://tnypic.net/bcb63.png)
...Much improved.
Somebody decided to put all the coffins aboveground. How they expect us to keep them from rising from the coffins, I have no idea, but hey - coffins are heavy, right? What if someone was to say... "drop"... by which I mean "launch"... said coffins at Haxxors? Do you think they'd dodge? ...Do you? :D

Okay, so that warm feeling was a stomach bug. NO HARM DONE! Except to that dude I threw up on. Apiks, or something. Ah well, he didn't need to be clean anyway. And besides, who WOULDN'T like to be vomited on by a GOD? I mean, REALLY! I'd BEG to have a god vomit all over me. I probably healed his wounds or something. But he went to change clothes. ...ingrate. I sent him to the mines.

"WELL, boozebrains!" I cried, raising my voice across a room of my fidgeting worshipers. They don't worship me in my presence, likely because they fear embarrassing me. Such thoughtful peasants. "WE HAVE BREACHED..."
"The next dimension?" one guessed, beside himself.
"The fourth wall?" another asked, looking at you.
"NO, FOOLS!" I roared. "THE CAVERNS, YOU NINNY-HAMMERED, METAL-PLATED... THINGS! - People, or whatever. WE'VE BREACHED THE CAVERNS, and discovered a magma pool. AND a deep pit. ALL WHO FAIL TO WORSHIP ME SHALL BE THROWN INSIDE!" They stared at me as if I'd said something laughable. And of course I had - after all, why would they not worship me? I continued in a majestic, musical roar befitting a lion on a mighty tower. "Apiks, our miner, tells me that there's an incredible drop in the lower caverns - over 50 z-levels deep!"
Mastahcheese raised his hand.
"MASTAHCHEESE!" I shouted ominously. "HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT -"
"What's a z-level?"
I paused, lost for words. "Oh, well... I guess it's something like ten feet or so? Just a few meters... but, um..."
"So, a drop that's a tenth of a mile?"
"Yes, that's right. THAT'S RIGHT," I roared, recovering my senses. "THAT'S DAMN FREAKING RIGHT! A TENTH OF A MILE. And if ANY of you want to SURVIVE my ULTIMATE WRATH -"
I was interrupted again, this time by the dinner bell. I leapt from the stage, knocking over tables and chairs on my way to the door, shouting, "- YOU'LL EAT LAST! HAHA, N00BS!" And I was gone. Unfortunately, supper was giant hedgehog sweetbread... It could've been better.

Dude the type of creature doesn't really matter much, I mean sure it would nice to be a were-eagle or something instead but still its more about the constant healing potential. I mean sure it would be nice to have a giant army of transformed dwarves beat the crap out of everything, but its also incredibly awesome to never have to worry about hospital visits turning bad or getting limbs lopped off. I mean seriously this could single handedly solve like half our problems. And then that single hand would become two hands once they grew back!This is what I think of when we transform:

As the clock strikes midnight I am carrying a birchen bin full of gold and basalt to a stockpile. It weighs 490 urists. Four-hundred-elf-humpin'-ninety urists. What is wrong with these forumites?
The "leaders" of this place, I am convinced, are completely insane. I don't just mean your typical names-his-axe-Betty quirky, either -- I mean full-blown, red-eyed, spittle-flying, dancing-naked-in-a-pool-of-my-own-blood elfshit nuts. Nothing else could explain this place.
We have 38 servings of booze. Total. I should know, because I counted every single one of 'em. It's my job, and I do it well! We have 36 dwarves, and 38 servings of booze in 8 containers. Do you know what happens when a dwarf doesn't get his booze? Remember the dancing-naked-in-a-pool-of-my-own-blood part? Yeah. That.
You know the best part? I bet you can't guess the best part. You can't even imagine it. So I'll just tell you. Three of those eight containers of booze are above ground, outside, across the river, next to Iden Routlashes's corpse. Iden was haxxored to pieces over there. Are you thirsty? Really thirsty? How thirsty are you? Thirsty enough to charge through the haxxors and thrips and werebeasts and vampires and thread zombies and whatever the hell else is out there?
Two barrels of booze are in the basalt stockpile 6 levels below ground -- a total of 10 servings. A third barrel is being drunk from, in that same stockpile. The other two containers of booze are personal waterskins, the first lying on the floor of the barracks where the MC HAMMER SQUAD is supposed to be training, and the last in Mebzuth Clashstaves's pocket.
Now, far be it from me to try to tell the military dwarves how to militate, but I do know not-a-small-amount about military supplies. For example, look at our militia commander, 'apiks' as she likes to be called. She's giving some prickle berries to one of the wounded -- very noble, I'm sure -- but she's doing so while dressed entirely in civilian clothing. She's a legendary miner, with no pick. Why is that? I snuck into the barracks and looked at their inventory engravings. Apparently she's assigned herself a fine little (+bismuth bronze pick+). And where is that pick? It's in a bin, being carried to a stockpile by 'Tekelija'. That's just one example, but by Armok, this is the commander of the entire militia!
But hell, I'm just the archiver. Don't bother listening to me. I only know exactly what we have, how much of it, and where it is. What I don't know is what's going to happen to us -- but I'm absolutely sure it's going to be horrible.

I did that but with 30 capies. The dragons just barely won out. Capy's are freaking fast. Only 1 thing was left alive, and it was a seriously, injured dragon. Interestingly, when they actually GOT to the dragon, it stood no chance.

SO..... Now we have spambots, are they in an entity? or wild? Or are there two types so that they are everywhere? But in any case, they seem to finally be an enemy that is, for some part, WEAKER than us, even if they outnumber us.

Haven't got to the civ yet. There will be wild, "dumb" spam bots, and more peaceful ones. Unfortunately, they are shaping up to become kobolds, so we might as well replace them in the mod.
Post by: mastahcheese on October 11, 2012, 12:08:09 am
And about spambots basically being kobolds, I tried to think of ways to argue that, but really, they would even have [UTTERANCES], I think in that case, we should just change kobolds to spambots, like you said, and maybe alter a couple things with them, like weapons, clothes, ethics, etc.
Post by: apiks on October 11, 2012, 04:58:40 am
For this reason we are going to a priority system. The highest priority guy finishes, tests and after it's all ironed out, he gives it to the next guy all finished and he begins.
So here is the current priority list that is bound to change:
1.
2. Misko27 - He has already started adding spambots from what I can see, but what I suggest is for him to iron out his ideas and codes until Talvieno finishes his part so that there are no incompatibilities. It will also give him time to think about how to make them unique. Maybe add a weapon or two or something else too.
3. BFEL - It's obvious that BFEL wants to add something so he'll get his turn. This will also give a sort of "rest" for everything and I predict will be more passive.
So these are the current order of turns. If anyone wants a turn, just tell me.
Otherwise, I suggest you all offer what things you want to be implemented, full of ideas, and then one of the guys in turn has to accept if it is seen fit to be added.
In short - You give ideas to these guys in order and if it's good, they'll implement it mostly. You can also ask for a turn of your own if it's a super secret thing to add or you can just PM the one that's gonna add it to reduce people that know of it. Just be aware that other turn takers might look at the code and see what was added. (Yes, yes, I know this was longer than the long one)
So any objections (Which thy will not tolerate)?

And as to LOLmod V2, I think I could probably print out Mastahcheese's raws and figure out what (if anything) is wrong with them from there. That wouldn't be an issue. I have little in the way of a shortage of free time away from a computer. ::)

What we possibly COULD do is to freeze your turn until you are able to finish it. Just like how I did with BFEL. Then when you feel ready to continue, I'll just place you in the order of the list you have said so. Meanwhile, we'll find somebody to finish your turn. But that will be discussed furthrer.
As for MastahCheese's code, I think it would be best if you did print and show up what was wrong with his code so that he could fix it (and gain experience points). But don't reveal it to the public. Just to me and/or mastahcheese I guess if that's possible.
I'll also change your turn in the chart I made from "Talvieno" to "MastahCheese" to accomodiate the changes that have occured.
Meanwhile, we have to discuss who is going to take over Talvieno's turn since MarkRessler hasn't been online since the Second of October and is highly probable that he will either not feel motivated to continue Talvieno's turn ontop of his or will not have the time and dedication to that. Even to his own turn alone.
So in short,
On a side note, I really am concerned about the survival of this Fort without Talvieno's expertise. It would impose a challenge of getting to BFEL's turn alone, let alone being able to survive Talvieno and MarkRessler's turns.

Do you really want me to upload what little I have? I've only played through a month. I would like to make some suggestions, though - the fortress needs some extensive micromanagement. Anything not directly related to survival has to be cut, and re-enabled later. The coffins up-top need to be deconstructed and carried downstairs somewhere. And never, at anytime, should you open the bridge. Even if you're just trolling the Haxxors. We're almost out of drink, too. :P Despite our nine stills.
Post by: apiks on October 12, 2012, 08:56:27 am
I have contacted MarkRessler and am awaiting to see if he will reply with a yes or no. We still have not decided who is going to take over your turn Talvieno so that shall have to be dealth with in the near days. So that everybody can cast their votes on who should play.
Talvieno has been officially FROZEN.

Here's Necrothreat. I didn't manage to finish my tower, but I sorta got there. Through ridiculously careful micromanagement, the doc was locked in the hospital for a while, and I had almost everybody assigned to special burrows - we got the coffins pulled up, but they still haven't been moved. Oh well. We also have around 200ish drinks. Woot!
There's a place dug out for the magma forges. Oh, and a few people may have a little bit of mining skill but not have the mining labor turned on anymore. Also, I tended to lock people in areas like the corpse pile and other such places. A few guys had a burrow where they couldn't do anything but bring plants and booze to the stills, a couple other guys couldn't do anything but make booze. I took the burrows off before I uploaded, to make things a bit less confusing for the next overseer.
Oh, and SOMEBODY decided to use my drainage pipe for a hallway, and THEN proceed to make a staircase under it, that I didn't see. One of our lower hallways is now flooded. I bypassed it. But we have a dining room with a waterfall. Happythoughts to go around.
Also, the tower is partially made of gold. Did I mention that?
And finally, we struck marble.

My suggestion is for NAV to download it and take a look at it as a headstart since chances of MarkRessler coming are slim.
I will soon be writing the story to cover up Talvieno's short turn in "[Interspace]" as is defined in the Main Post (Page 2).

People, I believe it is my choice whether or not to open the gate. Btw there are 11 haxxors and 29 new migrants. Do I expect any of the migrants to survive? No.I believe the dead sponges were frozen to death.

If you can, Keep the migrants near the emergency food stockpile. THATS why I set that up. Keep them alive, set up a meeting zone away from the haxxorrs so they path there.

Necrothreat has some problems. There are the haxxors outside, but I'll deal with that later using a modified Highmax's plan. Right now I am focusing on making the inside better. I am making a nice big barracks for all our squads to train in, because right now everyone is training outside in the yard. The militia still has horrible equipment though.

In the midspring of 22, ur attacked the elf Fela Heavenapes
In the midspring of 22, ur struck down the elf Fela Heavenapes in Beastchaste
In the midspring of 26, ur attacked the fourmite Vabok Shotstrikes
In the midspring of 26, ur struck down the fourmite Vabok Shotstrikes in Skinhames (supposudley ur attacked Skinhames, there are MANY attacks, and several woundings by ur)
In the midspring of 26, ur attacked the fourmite Morul Gearpaddled
In the midspring of 26, ur struck down the fourmite Morul Gearpaddled in Skinhames
ur has a noted THREE kills (WOW!!!!!! And surviving an attack on a town!)

Step 4: Adamantine everything-proof retracting drawbridge, buildings can't be destroyed from above. Dwarves can pit prisoners without lifting
the bridge. Demons cannot escape. Before breaching tube, make it so only exit is via bridge. The one to breach the tube should preferably be the dwarf version of the current overseer for maximum drama.
~~~~~~~~~~
Step 6: Pit enemies straight into hell to get torn apart mid-flight by hordes of flying demons.

Highmax half jokingly suggested a brilliant plan to deal with the zombies. It will be sort of like a banhammer. A giant, gravity operated banhammer suspended over the front gate.
Great. The skull on the wall moved, and now people are refusing to go outside. It is just a head! how can in move anyways?
The military seems to ignore it. NEW PLAN: everyone in the army, we need work to be done!
Sorry peepols, I don't know what to do. They won't go near the skull when not in the military, cutting off half the fort, and they can't kill the skull or work while in the military. I am stuck. It's not even FUN. All our booze and well is upstairs. People are thirsty.
I will upload the save. Probably better to continue from tal's though.

We should add in the major enemies of NecroThreat through the years.
We could include the various NecroThreaders, the Haxxors, the trolls, or even the grey languars from Sprin's reign, or even the aquifer from Apiks' founding year.

So far, the master plan has many things we need... First, a giant ballista battery if BOTH of those ideas fail... Second, LOTS OF MASONS... Third, we need lots of ballista bolts... Fourth, we need to create something to release the banhammer... Fifth, set up the last ditch effort for us all and hope it works if all else fails... Sixth we need to arm up with what little we have and prepare me, BFEL and any others who will not man the battery or the last defences, to fight off the unbreathing hordes and haxxors... Seventh, we sacrifice the thread necromancer in captivity to please armok... Eighth, we set up a SHIT ton of traps to deal with anything that comes close and our last ditch effort fails... And lastly, we put everything in place and unleash the horde upon ourselves... Its a suicide mission, but one I'm willing to go with!
WE WILL ENDURE!

23rd of Hematite, 254
Many months ago I was placed inside a hospital with madmen and rotting corpses... Several weeks ago I was healed and brought back on the front lines of war... Today... Today the leaders have given up hope...
"Necrothreat is doomed!" They cried...
I have served this place as a soldier... Today, I stand in front of all of the other fourmites... And they ask me for help...
"You can help us! Save us mighty soldier Highmax!"
"If anyone can save us, Its that crazy swordsman Highmax!"
They gave me this blasted title of "Sword's Enthusist", but I wear it with pride, for my blade has felled many... I have cheated death, and the people here beleive that I am its champion... Its gaurdian... And now... Now they come to me... They come to me for guidance... They want me to lead Necrothreat and stop the haxxor and thread zombie menace...
Thats when I stood before all of them and shouted:
WE WILL ENDURE!
The others cheered when I said those words. I told them my plans, and they think its crazy enough to work! Heres the quick rundown of what will happen:
1) We prepare for the attack
2) We lower the bridge
3) We unleash the creatures of the night upon the dead and the haxxors, and if that fails;
4) Drop the giant banhammer, and if that fails;
5) Unleash Hell with the ballista battery, and if that fails (or does more harm then good);
6) Use dwarven atom smashers, and if that fails;
7) The traps I will set will aid us all, and if they fail;
8) Send in every abled man, women, child, and pet into the front lines by my side and we fight till our last breath leaves our bodies
We will sacrifice a thread necromancer to Armok for his favor... I will do the honors... BFEL will be my second in command, she (going by dwarf gender btw) is a living legend and a force to be rekoned with. BFEL will be at my side when the fighting begins. For now, we need everyone building up this plan! We need everyone who is left alive to grab whatever they can AND WORK! First, the walls and hammer must be built. Thankfully, the last leader left us a stairway to begin this... armok give me guidance and strength... In the meantime, I will have those who aren't working on the masonry on ballista building duty. I need many for this to work... And we need bolts for them too! We need them most! I just hope we can get through this in time before all is lost...
Post by: mastahcheese on October 18, 2012, 08:44:48 pm
3) We unleash the creatures of the night upon the dead and the haxxors, and if that fails;I notice that creatures is plural....
Do we have a second were-capybara that I don't know about?

I seriously need to get someone to kill it but we cant without our workers freaking out over it! We can't eat, drink or do anything, our fortress is LITERALLY divided in two right now! We can't get past this head at all! We need ammo or to send someone up there to kill it right away!

As for the Aquifer, there are 1 layer and multi-layered aquifers. When you break an aquifer, it fills the block and it's surroundings with water which makes impossible to breach. If you pump the water, it'll just be filled with the side aquifers. To deal with it you have to make a plug. I already made one. If the route to that is cut off, then you are very badly screwed because we'd have to go up on top of the mountain to create a new one via the mountain.

It looks like he's trying to build a staircase in the northwest corner of the courtyard. I'm not sure if any dwarves are getting any of the work done on the stairs before running away.*Brief sudden realization*

Wait a moment, what the thing to the bottom of that!?! IS THAT A UP/DOWN STAIRCASE?!?!?!
Regardless. I sent bitches up there myself. I thought there was a staircase. I built it.

So, on that, School is likely to take up large amounts of my time in the coming weeks, however, It is likely I will be able to finish up my section. Maybe toss in a spam weapon. I mentally am thinking of a blunt-force dagger, because so many advertisements bam you over the head with the concept. However, I am open to ideas. I am also getting ideas from the sister regarding the weapon, and possible items they create (ads), but again, open to ideas.I haven't finished reading the last 10 pages yet, but here are some ideas for LOLmod v2:Hey, these sound pretty good, I should probably work on those, since apiks made me the manager of this new mod.

1) Ignore the head
2) Collapse the wall
3) Use a military fourmite to build staircases (not sure if this works)
4) Dig through the wiki for solutions
5) Dig through the wall and make a tunnel somewhere through to the other half of the fortress (he says the aquifer can't be THAT big...)
6) All else fails, LOOSING IS FUN!
I'll be uploading the save tomorrow, too tired, had to work today after drafting class

Oh, and would it be possible to mod dwarves/forumites to go blind if they are scared a lot? because that would solve problems like this.
Post by: mastahcheese on October 24, 2012, 11:55:00 pm
Currently, it uses the spear skill (thinking about changing it), and you can hack with the sig line, jab with the avatar, and smash with the text, imagine them holding the post by the right-hand side.
I decided to make wiki articles into a shield with properties roughly inbetween that of bucklers and shields, although, for the cost in term of materials needed to make, they are the most economically sound of the three. It will also give the trololols and haxxors a nice shield that fits their personality.
Also, to make the mod a little more immersive, the food names have been changed, instead of biscuits, stews, and roasts, we now have chips, coffee, and tv dinners.

a) draft migrants and hope there is a bow out there they can use to shoot the head off the wall with.
b2) have the migrants hide someplace and make a new plug through the aquifier.
3) look at the wiki about "draining the aquifier off t3h map" (or into a cavern)
All plans probably require living in the caverns.

I have to say if I can find a way AROUND the aquifer we can do this! If only I could find pickaxes that are on the other side of the fort ::)

Post by: apiks on October 26, 2012, 10:02:00 am
The head has been here even during the head of headly dooms so you'll have to find a way to deal with it. Alternatively, if the fort perishes, we'll vote whether to reclaim or revert back.

I much look forward to the secord returning of Highmax.
On the note of the mod, I've had very little time to work on it, what with my wife's birthday, but I have had some time to think of other features to add.
Although it will take some time, when I'm done we should have Slenderman, Rick Roll, and Shoop de Whoop in place.
The only real problems I can think of is how I'll incorperate them into the mod in meaningful ways, or rather, workable ways.
But they should all make the game more FUN!

We should call elves Hipicriticjackass and humans averagejoes just because thats all I can think of.I think I would rename them "Hippies" for the elves, as for humans, I'm not sure, but I think I would change their prefstring to "weakness to fast food" and make them more likely to be overweight.
I would probably also rename the elves clothes to Hemp, if I can.
Post by: Ruhn on October 30, 2012, 05:08:21 pm
Consider this train of thought.
Forumites = Dwarves because we are the ones who play dwarf fortress and get dwarfed.
Hippies = Elves because they don't believe in the internet.
Users = Humans because they are on interweb but don't play DF? But maybe it would be too close to Forumites.

There should be a rename the TItans and have them called Viruses, or call vampires viruses cause they hide amongst your stuff and kill your computer either brutally or quietly (it's be weird but just a thought)Including virus somewhere seems like a 'must' to me.
It could be said that some forumites drain the life from their peers, so vampires may be ok as is?
With all of their deadly dust and crap that infects people, renaming megabeasts to virus would be cool. Even better would be editing the name list to include "Y2K", "Shakespear", "Melissa", "Chernobyl", and others listed here (http://www.infoniac.com/hi-tech/list-of-computer-viruses-from-2000-onward.html)

Post by: apiks on November 14, 2012, 05:44:10 am
Also, I fixed any typos there might've been.
As for NAV, you might do whatever you wish until the end of the fortress. You might just lead a personal journal of your last days until this event that was written by highmax28, or you can just write something else to fill in everything.
Honestly, that was brilliant Highmax.
All that we need now is for the mod to be developed and start the game anew. I have a feeling that this time we will be successful.

I don't feel great about a "new" topic. It isn't necromancy if the first post isn't years old.... does someone want to go digging?
I do agree to this to a certain extent but I feel that if a new topic was made, it would give us a larger array of freedom. I do not think that reviving years old threads is a good idea too. If the majority does say that they want an years old post, then I will do it in one form or another. But as for now, I think that a new topic would be the best course of action. We have plenty of things to make up for the Necromancy.

Although I've had almost no actually work on the modding, I've had many ideas to incorperate once I had the time.
Work shall be done! Hopefully, NAV can stall you guys with awesome stories of death and misery until I'm finished.

After a big modding surge, I've completed a few things, we now have renamed creatures, no more fisherdwarf, now a fisherforumite! Minor change, but it bugs me. We also have Slenderman, but I doubt he'll show up cause he only comes in with bogeymen. We have a new "spammer" ranged weapon that shoots the old spam and some new stuff, if I did it right, both spammers and laptops use the old spam ammo. And we have potatoes, which I made grow in every season, everywhere, and makes "forum vodka" as well as being able to be milled into mashed potatoes.It'd be awesome for someone to do adventure mode in this since we got boogeymen replacements :P
Still working on other stuff.

Maybe we need a whole mod topic, lol.
Post by: highmax28 on November 16, 2012, 12:30:16 pm
It's all nice and stuff that we get stuff in the mod but I am afraid about testing. I think you should release periodic releases of the versions, Mastahcheese. That way people can download the mod AND test it at the same time. Then whenver they find a bug or something ain't happening right, they'll report it.I can test out the adventure mode tidbits :P
Maybe we need a whole mod topic, lol.

One of the children is sent to unseal the caverns, freeing the vampire MastahcheeseIV.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I order the gate opened, PULL THE LEVER! No one pulls the lever. I order the wall deconstructed, but no one is willing. Just then, a group of migrants arrives at the gate. I yell to them "You with the pick, you're the captain, now go kill that necromancer." Tosid, the dwarf with the pick chases the necromancer , but the necromancer puts up a fight and pushes him into a zombie troll. He is torn apart and broken. The rest of the new migrants are killed by the zombie horde also.
(sorry no screenshots)
Rith idenzanos the admin demands an amulet. This is not the time Rith!
It has been 2 weeks since I ordered the gate opened, and the wall deconstructed, but still nothing has happened. This fort is too broken to function, the entire fort has fallen into a melancholy. I order the aquifer mined into, but that doesn't happen either. Fine! We will just wait here until everyone dies of thirst. It is already happening.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Tun the glassmaker has entered a strange mood, a maccabre mood. Apearantly we don't have what he wants, because she just stands around doing nothing. Dissapointing.
The last child died today. There are 26 of us left. A group of thread zombies arrived today, and they are quickly assimilated to the zombie horde. The bodies are starting to stink.
Melbil the presser goes berserk, but is quickly struck down. (I can't find the report because the reports are flooded with hundreds of zombies fighting themselves).
BFEL bursts into my room and yells "GIANT CAVE SPIDER! It got Mastahcheese and Esther1!" The entire fort is rallied into a mob, and goes to avenge our friends. BFEL is the third and last to die, before the hall is blocked by webs. More of our fort lost.

Your story is V2 of the Fall of Necrothreat since in NAV's story, the vampire already died.Ah, that seems to hinder my idea... Maybe we should unleash every evil trhing upon us and break the gates and dig into the aquifer :P

As per according the list that we made earlier, it is time for Misko27 to take the modding helm. Is that fine by you Misko27?
Edit: GoombaGeek, you might get a turn to mod also. But that completely depends on how everything goes down.

Should a second fort be started with the current mod if it will take a while longer?
Post by: apiks on December 19, 2012, 10:17:27 am
Anyway, good idea Ruhn. It might be beneficial to start a new fort with the current latest version of the mod. Do you guys support this idea?

Now, I need Misko to tell me if he is/will work on Teh LOLmod or shall I start working on it? I'm actually willing to do it this time. All I'm in need of is ideas.
So is everybody prepared for Necrothreat II? I am planning to put it up very soon and for that I need your support in giving the start push so it doesn't get thrown back into the nothingness of the pages.
Post by: highmax28 on December 20, 2012, 06:55:45 pm
Also for the new place, I say we find a place AWAY FROM AQUIFERS! That way if the head incident happens, we can actually dig our way around it

To be honest, I was still hoping to edit my posts for tone, grammar, and spelling. I got pretty bad at times.
Fear not, I edited almost everything. I fixed a lot of your spelling mistakes so it should be a lot more readable now. I didn't just copy/paste everything in there, ya know :D.
Post by: highmax28 on February 06, 2014, 08:53:10 pm
You should've though, it keeps the raw epicness of what fourmites are. Hell, we have l33t gamerz! bad grammar and spelling probably add to it all.To be honest, I was still hoping to edit my posts for tone, grammar, and spelling. I got pretty bad at times.

I didn't fix absolutely everything. There are PLENTY ones that I left in there on purpose. I tried to filter it so only the most obvious mistakes are cleaned out while the the ones that were said on purpose remained. You can still do your own edits, no worries. Just modify your posts and let me know and I'll update it.

(because mastacheese is pulling pranks left and right...)Left and Right?
I necro'd one thing, just that that thing happened to be as powerful of a troll effect as a !!Bazooka!! does not make it "left and right".
I strike hard, not repeatedly.
