An interesting poem, but I am so fucking lost.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom)
Is that sarcasm?Nope. Hallucinogenic mushrooms really is the best explanation we have for this thread's existence.
Also why are we posting in this thread?It's time-honored Bay12 tradition to pick apart threads like this! We use the discombobulated ramblings of the OP as a base on which to build our own discombobulated ramblings.
Damn it this thread should be about plump helmet man getting eaten, not a stupid poetry collection!This is a stack of 20 masterwork Plump Helmet Man Roast. The ingredients are masterfully minced Plump Helmet Man flesh, masterfully minced Plump Helmet Man flesh, masterfully minced Plump Helmet Man flesh, and masterfully minced Plump Helmet Man flesh.
Oh, you've reminded me, I don't like mushrooms :PGrazie!
By the way, nice poem, BigUglyWorm!
Man, why is this thread so hilarious?Because mushrooms ARE hilarious !
I love messing with escaped lunaticsAhh, but you fail to understand! The Escaped Lunatic... is messing with you. ;D
Because they're actually kinda gross and nobody had the heart to admit it.
It's still not as cool as the forgotten beast thread where the described beast literally sounded like a description of a penis, and instantly derailed it from which it never, by intention of the posters, recovered, and at one point even images of anthro shark babes in bikinis were posted. Those were the days...does this thread still exist?

Strangest shit ever (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=86474.0). From way back in 2011.

It's ok the journey is long. You will confront death and it will revive you
Magic mushrooms are required eating for this thread.
I understand mushrooms.Because eating mushrooms is always an adventure!
What I dont understand though is : why is this thread in the 'Adventure mode' category ?
Mr. Spriggans and his army of cats have a good point. On the other hand... Isn't it epic adventurous saga? I would say, yes!
move it to announcements
Yeah, I managed to do that once. Had to PM Toady so he could fix it... Nice memories...Ha, I remember that day! Little paper frog people doing battle with the evil scissors beast, and you scurrying about trying to figure out where to put the thing...

The hyphae instantaneously work into the earth it landed on, bursting white threads reaching for knowledge in the depths, equally as fast the threads burst from the ground before you, they spiral around eachother tightening and thickening into a quarterstaff, the white staff now stands upright blueish stains climb three quarters up the staff and the head is bulbous and irregular with life.

Well, Superdorf isn'tbgoing to going to update his adventure game soon because of the mafia game he is running, but idk.
Also, I can't see your pictures, Superdorf. I have no idea if it is because of the image hosting website, my region, or my crappy internet connection. Maybe I should try viewing the forums with a actual computer...

"Mushroom" was one of the first words created in Kevekiii Kvakeii. It means literally "stiff food".
Weren't we on an adventure to save the myconid people from some poison infesting their land? Whatever happened to that?
A fell wind blows, the adventure party slows
Eat your Mushrooms and listen to the strand resonate, first it will explore, taking it easy on you. You are courageous thus welcomed, let it show you truth and wonderful times.
Eat you're Mushrooms follow the paths it carves in memories and connections nodes filled with nutrition, it latches on let me in showing you what you don't see, it's living and breathing, thinking too.
A God of Death life flows from, whispered screams only listeners hear, never stops so lend an ear, if it is me that you fear then take within what is here.
To the earth lay your gaze upon these grounds you'll see a maze, further more in human haze knowledge brings exponential blaze.

PTW, This is mindblowingly confusing to read. where the hell did the wizard even come from???
Rolling hills, dwarven fills rush out to greet you, showing wares a strange set of flares made from the skin of bears, three of the hundreds greet you in grumbles to gruff for you to hear.
The fell wind still blows right up your nose it seems to fill you with fear, push through this place with courage and care for one of you may never reach there.

Also don't worry about the fact that you are a mushroom, since we've clearly established that yes, mushrooms can in-fact, eat mushrooms. Disclaimer: Drugs are bad ok? Don't do drugs, kids.
Guys, guys!
I ate the mushrooms! Before ten minutes approximately.
Does that mean I'm one of the only people left in this thread that hasn't eaten a mushroom yet?

OH GOD THIS THREAD HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THREE MONTHS GUYS, GET OVER IT.NEVER!
I used to serve at this church that had an old red carpet spread all through the building, and it got pretty... patchy up in the altar. You'd get these little two-inch circles of burnt carpet under where they kept the censer, each from a piece of glowing charcoal dropped by some hapless acolyte once upon a time.
I don't know if I am worthy of this thread...Worry not as all are worthy in the eyes of the mushroom!
Honestly, whenever I read this thread, it reminds me of how many mushrooms the Watchers of the Bay eat.
Wait a second...
What if the plump helmets we have been eating actually makes peope sane? :o Wait...what if it is actually because they causeb enlightenment and other people think we are having some inane discussion about something else but actually we philosophize about mushrooms? :o Heck, what if this message doesn't even exist, but the mushrooms reveal it? Or vise versa? Hell, maybe the Watchers dont even exist! Maybe mushrooms dont even exist! Oh wait,the last one didn't make a lot of sense...but you get my point!
Or, I just drank too much Sunshine (thanks again, elves!)
Gasp!
(I'm also not fond of the flavor of mushrooms.)
(Isn't it blasphemy to go against the mushrooms, but then again I don't think it'll be hard to over throw the fungus sense the Wizard has left us.)

When you get what you want in your struggle for selfPhwoar, that's quite a poem. Seems like words to live by.
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
For he’s with you, clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

But mushrooms are nasty, and fighting others is better than eating them.

Each turn lasts up to 1 dwarven year. When a previous overseer’s turn is done, you have 7 days to pick up the file and 2 weeks to play through (roughly; time may be extended under certain circumstances). Confirmation can be from a simple ‘I have the file’ to an update. If you do not post confirmation in 7 days, the player after you takes over. If you start but can’t finish, inform the thread and we’ll go back to the save before your turn.
- RP is optional – write in whatever style you find most comfortable, be it IC or OOC.
- Dorfings are open! Toss up a profession, name, etc. in-thread, and the current overseer will (when possible) find a suitable dorf for you.
- Anything goes for tile graphics, but for convenience's sake please convert the save back to ASCII before you pass the turn along!
- Exploits/DFHack/RAW edits/Savescumming: Taken on a case-by-case basis. Ask in-thread if you've got something especially cheaty in mind.
- Plump helmet consumption is cannibalism

Plump helmet men can't speak, can they? That does make a mess when you try to create a civilization, I think.
No pet tag-- they were indeed registering as livestock tho. Added a [CAN_SPEAK] token, and things seem to be working now.
Superdorf, you sneaky villain!
It is well known that, in the temperate shrublands, there are no lettuce ! No lettuce means no feeding for turtles. They have to rely on eating fungi to survive ! And eat 'em they do !
This "fortress" seems fun !

But I am telling you, you don't have to eat the mushrooms! Those are lies and trickery, spread by false mycoprophets!
The thought of drinking mushrooms seems like the nastiest thing.Only if you drink too much... and even then, it's rather fun while it lasts. ;)
Who needs a mushroom when you can just BATTLE YOUR PET CAVE BLOB FOR INHUMAN DODGING STAT???
I shall never ever return again, for I have forsaken mushrooms forever.

I should return less.
When you're attacked by plump helmet zombies, there's not mushroom for hope.
Mushrooms don't have skulls to hold them back.
But what happens when more zombie plump helmet men grow to replace those killed?

The mushrooms make friends taste better when you eat them.Well that sort of makes some kind of sense, I sort of might guess. Is it that they are sweeter, or is it that they are crunchier?
