Come to NWP for the Succession game, stay for the OSFP! And :Dorf: Smilies.
Sadly this will likely be the last time the lord high threadromancer BFEL will reviving a Necrothreat for now.

Why is that? And is this the final official Necrothreat, or only the last one involving BFEL?
The chair creaked as her full weight came down on it.”Search for this line and remove the quote hanging off the end. That shouldn't be there.
May I please have a forumite made for me? Name: Erin Quill; profession: traplord. If at all possible, I want the front door decorated with the corpses of the twice-dead, and I don't want us to have to put them there. :D
I'm impressed. Even as someone not completely familiar with Necrothreat, it is tense and beautiful and gripping.
Though plot-wise, I thought Armok at least initially held greater power, creating and discarding worlds at whimsy. So for this message to happen..Well, lots of possibilities.
(And oh, are the characters right, I'm internally giggling at the idea of Sprin writing anything so eloquent and grammatically correct.)
Though possibly more amusingly, the name Ur - what springs to mind is the purple walking, freezing, unstoppable two-eyed boulder-mountain from Muumi. Though it was plenty of scary to imagine facing at the time I watched it.
Speaking of errors...QuoteThe chair creaked as her full weight came down on it.”Search for this line and remove the quote hanging off the end. That shouldn't be there.
Let's hope this goes well.
EDIT: Grammar
I guess I favor #3 then, but I'd prefer to regenerate the world to get one without an aquifer.
Alright, I read Gwolfski's post. Let's go with number #3.
I'd like to point out #3 has a legitimate chance of us seeing Sprin fight Zombie Trump.
So I have no idea WHAT necrothreat IS or what it stands for, but I'm willing to do my part.... whatever that is....I recommend reading the original two, at least. Three you can do if you think you can handle the insanity.

I've been looking at teh lolmod. Erin should have the mad scientist getup, the lab coat, the bonesaw, all that stuff. He is a man of magic science, and should always be properly dressed for experimentation*, science**, and other assorted nonsense***.Discount sprin
*Learning necromancy and conducting malpractice
**As the scientist, not the !!subject!!
***Building the Friend Computer in secret
EDIT: Also, give him a fedora. Because fedoras are cool.
This new guy seems to be more about magitech though. You seem more like a medical sort of fort-killer.Yes, that sounds about right.

...no, I happen to enjoy continuing to exist.
Now, breaking them in just the right way to make them do what we want, that's what I like to do.

Glass, though new, also seems mentally shaken. However, it seems apparent that he has the makings of great, albeit lethal, ingenuity.
Heres were my inspiration comes fromI notice a lack of link to...anything.
What's the list of starting people? I feel like we had more requests for forumites than 7 (I know that you can't start with more than that, I'm not trying to complain).
"water demon"
“It even had a name – Afer."
“it’s an aquifer.”
Magitek! And aquifers.Magitek? Where? What are you referring to?
build rough defences out of wood
live on the surfaceWe're gonna be elves! It's gonna be terrible!
Are there any good traps that use water?Sure.
Steam is, amusingly, one of the things you can't weaponize anymore.Erin doesn't know that (neither did I); he's probably thinking more along the lines of the stuff that you can do with steam in games like Besiege. I'd assume that he's more familiar with our physics than with his physics.
And all of these defensive measures will likely never be implemented.Erin is the Traplord. He will make certain that his favored items get made.
Necrothreat isn't known for being given time to prepare.We will make time to prepare, even if we have to pick the godly pockets of Armok himself to just steal a few more hours.
Oh yeah, remembered another one. That cleaning through? If it is uncleaned, laden with syndromes, and something unclothed goes through, they get hit by syndrome.I remember that from the reclaim of Battlefailed.
Can I be dorfed as a mason/miner/hammerdwarf? Please? He can do all of them, changing when he needs to...
I haven't forgotten about anybody's forumites. I'm just waiting for migrants to show up.Could just dworf multiple forumites as same dwarf, i.e. Sprin-Karne.
Just have a bit of patience.
I don't know about you, but having a multi-personality disorder being the embodiment of Sprin sounds like an absolutely terrible idea.I haven't forgotten about anybody's forumites. I'm just waiting for migrants to show up.Could just dworf multiple forumites as same dwarf, i.e. Sprin-Karne.
Just have a bit of patience.
I'll get Karne to help me this time around so it shouldnt be a problem
Oh cool, I have a dwarf. He's a guy for once. This is a nice change of pace.
Aaaah, Dwarf fortress. Forcefully ensuring that males and females are equals since... A long time ago.Oh cool, I have a dwarf. He's a guy for once. This is a nice change of pace.
You and Arx are the only men out of the seven forumites. It would appear our tradition of having a ridiculous amount of females persists even in this Necrothreat.
Well carp.Fixed that for you. :P
FTFTFYFYWell, Bollocks.Fixed that for you. :P
Glad I don't have to deal with Afer (yet). Has anyone had any ideas to weaponize it?
Are there any good traps that use water?Sure.
- Get invaders into 7/7 water. Anything needing to breathe dies. Usually done by luring them into a corridor, but there's no reason you can't drop non-fliers just straight into water with crossbow/ballista/minecart fire or lever pull. Or just dig out almost the entire map down to the aquifer, then cover it with bridges linked to lever (alternatively, with pumps make it bit higher and install drainage to recover gear).
Could make the room (temporarily) swimmer-safe with breathing room on level above, that can be removed by closing the bridge. Which conveniently also neutralizes anything not needing to breathe.
Note that massive digging efforts might need retire/unretire to work best.
- Powerless ammunition for watergun.
At high end, I think this is pretty much "anything dies" (expect perhaps a steel titan, vanilla, and I'm not sure there) though harder to setup and to cover entire map with. There currently isn't a public design that is absolutely perfect given the current understanding of minecarts, though there's several that can repel circus.
- Depending on map temperature, spontaneous ice tunnels/landmines.
Anything that isn't made of fire dies.
- Depending on map temperature, melting baths.
Anything that can bleed to death probably dies.
- Water pushing onto spikes/storage:
Not sure what the limit on this would be, but anything moved by water pressure should die.
It can also make neat things like trapped 7/7 water only shortcuts to get werebeasts (via a submerged minecart trap, for instance).
Probably lots other possibilities. Defensively, for instance:
- Moat: Rather eh, given the existence of drawbridges.
- Cleaning through: Useful when dealing with anything with syndromes:
- Water fighting grounds: Helps neutralize fire and syndromes (not sure about webs, wiki suggests they're destroyed by irrigation but water waves might be too slow).
I notice that neither I, nor Lord_lemonpie are on the player list. Did you just forget to, or are we not allowed to play?
I've simply not gone around to updating the main post. It's done now.Thanks.
I think we should at least make multiple exits to the surface, to avoid Necrothreat 1's fate.
Hey, has anybody new been forumited yet?
Wait, this fort has irl term limits?
'9. You have exactly 1 week worth of time to finish your turn. If you have not finished by that time, you are required to hand over the savegame to the next player if you've made any progress. Three days grace period between two players ending and starting is given.'
Hm. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=19308.msg7282761#msg7282761)
Well, it beats IronTomato's succession :v
Btw, apiks, apiks' turn's post links are borked - 3 out of the four lead to newest post atm.
The undead are coming. The shadows are coming. The visions are coming.
Meanwhile the other miner has expressed a desire to join the military headed by me. He seems used to swinging a pick around so it’s likely he’ll be great at swinging a banhammer around as well. Imic I think was her name.
QuoteMeanwhile the other miner has expressed a desire to join the military headed by me. He seems used to swinging a pick around so it’s likely he’ll be great at swinging a banhammer around as well. Imic I think was her name.
I enjoyed the update, I just wanted to point out this section refers to Imic with mixed pronouns.
The undead are coming. The shadows are coming. The visions are coming.
What's with that rather large quarry? Preparation for steel?
And I see you're already planning to start making accidents happen as your plot dictates. However, I don't really understand why record-keeping would be concerning.
Tsiru being the one who visions want you to kill off, when they're just recording things already known. But I take you'll limit your participation after this to just RPing, then?
I didn't know we had a pack of Courage Wolves with us.
Imic was walking through the fortress, on break from his work. He was looking for a certain fourmite. After going through most of the fortress, he returned to the meeting area, where he found the fourmite in auestion.
'Hello, there. My name is Imic, may I ask yours?'
'Erin... Is my name.'
'You were a... Magitechnologist? Wasn't that it?'
'Magitechnition.'
'Yes, that was it... I have a question.'
'Yes?'
'Well, you see. Um... I... Am intrested in magitech...'
'Yes...'
'Well, you see...'
'Mhm?''I... Will consult with Apiks. On whether or not you are needed for anything else.'Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He mainly said this out of bewilderment from a large dwarf dropping on his knees and yelling...
'Thaaaaank you soooo much...'
:(
Well, it won't really be affecting me, but I still feel it's kinda unfortunate.
If people voice that they want the rule change now, can it still happen?
Hey, apiks, I just noticed that the "How this succession fort came to be" spoiler in the title post refers to this as the third installment. I think that you need to change that, at least a little, to show that this is NecroThreat IV.
The vote on the holiday exemption has passed with enough votes now.:D
ErfworldHELL YES SOMEONE ELSE READS IT
Hm, 3x3 rooms...Enough to make every sleeping attempt one has to fight for :3I'm sorry, I'm not sure what this means. Care to elaborate?
Well, that's up to Erin I suppose.
The guy after you is Sprin.

And then it's my go.All of this has happened before, and will happen again.

Sure, if you enjoy pulling levers :PI know- Instead of finding a lever for the front bridge, I dug a new one underneath it.
Several overseers ignored all of them, though ^^;

I AM FLAME, GOD OF WOODYou should probably be careful where you say that, though. People kind of look at you funny when you announce you're a god. Of course, then you have an excuse to smite them. :)
Well, if you count other forts, I am the Voidgod of Murdermachines.
Hey, that wasn't my fault. In fact, I saved you when I killed Terry's mortal form.Well, if you count other forts, I am the Voidgod of Murdermachines.
Don't remind me.
- Are you going to raise the fortifications to the top of sky?Nope, sorry! Only a few z levels. At most I think we have three Zs.
- Quill is interesting influence. Probably can be weaponized. What's one more pet?
- Hm, I see. Because of the tree, 4mask can't climb down.
Was my change to the raws added? Thanks.Sorry for late reply. As of now, they have been.

EDIT: Also, Aceiro means steel in... um, Galician. I'm not actually sure what language that is, or where it's from, but hey, it's on Google Translate. And I will almost always be spelling it aciero, as I tend to think of it being pronounced "a-see-air-oh", which is almost certainly NOT how it is pronounced. If anything, it would probably be pronounced "a-say-row", but... yeah, I have no idea.Galicia is the northwestern part of spain, bordering the north of Portugal.

I made a forumech, but I don't think we can insert it into the ongoing save. I tried overwriting the tigerfish in Apik's save, but it didn't work. There's no reaction to make them, but they can be bought. I made them as expensive as a cave dragon for now. They are very durable, except when they fight something that can destroy steel.Code: [Select][DESCRIPTION:A short, steel creature born of drink and industry.

Hm, appropriate value. Lets see....It's essentially fully armoured steel peasant who meanders and has slashing weapons and breathes fire. Maybe more blunt damage resistance compared to actual peasant? Also dangerous as a child, not just adult.XD
Then there's how it can't be stunned or knocked out or go on break or drink or sleep or eat (kinda like vampire) and have it's helmet wrestled away, so a baby one might be able to kill squads of goblins (though probs not the entire siege due whips) even without the firejet.
Oh yeah, and unlike normal armor which has to be replaced, this one's heals.
Given all that, I'd peg the base price as full exceptional steel uniform * however useful not passing out through exhaustion or pain or just not being there due break is * (1+ reasonable expected lifespan/reasonable steel armor replacement rate).
Now, I haven't run the numbers, exactly, but I'm sure just the first part would be worth more than half a prepared meal.
As for the second part, I'd suggest arena testing.
I don't think we could have civilian forumechs that do jobs without transforming existing workers into mechs. Aluminum would make a good metal for weaker models. It's strong enough to feel like metal and stop small blunt impacts like punches, but animals can tear it apart.
On the healing aspect, the current forumech only heals minor damage. Missing limbs are gone forever. The powercore is a replacement for lungs. It can't be strangled or drowned, but if it loses the power core it will die shortly thereafter. It's roughly durable enough to be immune to most beast attacks and weapons that can't get through steel, but gets ripped apart quickly if facing someone with sharp enough weapons.
I did some testing against megabeasts and goblins.Spoiler: Results (click to show/hide)
undead like to burn to death. (Do we have wooden walls?)
What about doing experiments on captured thread zombies?Name me head researcher and there will be more empirical information than you could ever have wanted gathered on zombies and their many uses.
“Erin Quill. Magitechnician, traplord extraordinare, siege engineer and marksmite. It has finally come time for you to be of use to us.” He opened his eyes and when he saw me pull out a familiar bunch of documents, he was practically having a seizure and needed to be held by some of my soldiers. My soldiers. Not Th4DwArfY1’s. Not the council’s. Mine. “During a justified search for spy activities done with the intent of undermining this whole operation, in your room, it has come to my attention that you have devised a theoretical way to force constant exposure to the visions, insomuch that they become the visions themselves. Your dream catcher, as silly as I find it saying, has also shown results of being able to replicate certain visions in some people with the proper affinity and location, being able to even to influence it via objects in the vicinity of the subject.”This is not the purpose of my craft. Retribution will fall upon you for this heresy.
“Erin Quill. You will not sabotage this operation under the pretense of morals. You are first and foremost a soldier, second a living being. Failure is not without consequences. If any future issues arise with the completion of this procedure, the baby will be taken as collateral damage. Do you understand?”No, I am a scientist. The law of the bone crown is not my law, nor any law that I recognize.
I’m lying in a puddle of blood. Blood. The crown is bloodied. Blood and bone. I taste my blood. The door opens. Power enters my mind.That is the power of Armok, you damned fool, not any kind of power that a Forumite should seek. It corrupts you.
Traps! Curses, when did he have time to set them up?I've been leaving traps set up since I entered the fort. I wanted them to be used on thread zombies. I believe that they may be of more use now protecting us from you.
Erin pulls out another contraption, one that looks small and metallic with a trigger. He uses it and I hear a great rumbling sound. A moment later I look at my stomach and see blood.It's a gun. It uses explosive runes. They have quite the potential to set off bullets at exceedingly high speeds. I can only presume that I will be needing more of them as the days carry onward.
It is done. My powers have now let me detect bones in nearby places. I see them, and I find them. The companion to my crown has been built. I stand before it as the entire military and every citizen of Necrothreat is here. Sprin is also here. Everybody knows what happened. The mission of Necrothreat was a success. How ironic that this success would be founded on what that fool Th4DwArfY1 tried to topple me with. A symbol of the olden times. Sprin. And now two symbols of rule. My rule.Retribution will come, Apiks. A reign of terror is barely a reign at all. That music was not for you. There are still yet projects I am working on, projects hidden from your sight. Deep within the sky, the Mechanical Heart lies hidden from you. Even now, the gods of industry are at my back. You may reign in bone and blood, but the era of oil and steel is on its way.
I climb the first stair and feel the power permeate the air. I climb the second stair and I’m trembling from excitement. I climb the third and face the crowd. They cannot move from the almost palpable awesome power in the room. I scan it from one side to the other and finally center my focus on Sprin who is near me. He nods to me and I turn again to the crowd. The military has prepared for this day. I extend my arm with my hand in a fist and salute with the double tap. Seconds later the military does the same. The tapping sound overfilling the room marked the inauguration. Even in Ruhn with both his arms in slings could be seen moving.
Sprin had patched him up quite nicely. No traces of my wounds remained either. I have pardoned everyone that may have conspired against me during Th4DwArfY1’s rule. I have fallen out with Arx. He does not wish to look at me any longer but I feel nothing at it. They are merely tools, and tools will not be thrown away. That is why Erin Quill was at the back of the room using a contraption that managed to use multiple instruments simultaneously and amplify them using the huge room’s echo. My victory music. Long had I waited for this.
Finally, I sit in the throne. It is uncomfortable yet it feels a part of me. Created from the bones that build this place. They jutted from the sides in a mimic of my crown, a gradient line of yellow and white making up the color as it is mixed with the black velvet on the stairs that is lined with white lines on the side.
One symbol of old and two symbols of rule. One to give legitimacy and two to enforce it. A crown of bone to mark him, a throne of bone to make him. Life in his hand, death in the other. Time to balance.
The music quieted down, the light from the torches seemingly grown and shadows danced in plain sight.
“I am lord of Necrothreat. Armok and Ur will bow. Let my will be done.”
Bring the destroyer back.
Edit: idk if this is necessarily the place to ask, but I just posted this so it's convenient to ask: what's the difference between the modded ranged weapons and their ammo, and crossbows and bolts?
I'm aware that Sprin's big deal with his turns is him pretty much ruining us with almost no commentary whatsoever, and that's fine - in the main fortress. Since this one isn't a direct continuation and the characters are completely separate from the ones from previous fortresses (though mentions can be made), even Sprin will have to make an effort to post at least something story-related during his turn.Just reading back through the thread...

Should I just be expecting little-to-no commentary this coming turn as everything goes to hell?
And yes, you should expect everything to go to hell regardless. Especially since the savegame is in the middle of a necrothreader siege.We did build traps like I requested, right?
A sideways volcano, right? One above the front entrance, pointed at an invading armies?EXCELLENT Idea!
Hot running fail, yes?
Be careful of lava-adapted sewer gators (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SewerGator).Someone please tell me this isn't yet implemented. I may be forced to drastically alter the fortress design.

Also, I expect all of Apiks' attempts to control a madman will end terribly. I'm somewhat glad I haven't been forumited yet. The horrors that are about to be released will make it quite interesting for Gwolfski, Enemy Post, and I to deal with. Even long after the hell of the madman fades out, as we attempt to wrest control from him.
But yeah, you should expect hell to go down. Especially since the first Necrothreader siege is in Sprin's hands (his turns usually have us more prepared, military, trap and fort layout wise.)*sigh*
he is well aware of the existence of the gods, and freely admits it; he just refuses to worship them, or to "believe" in them in any strong Spiritual sense beyond merely acknowledging the fact of their existence.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you help diffuse tension after a major twist happens. :DYes.
If we want an AI insurgency, that should be associated with the Forumechs in some way. There should be a way to ensure that a given Forumech doesn't rebel, though. Maybe there's a 1 in 30 chance that any given Forumech is permanently berserk, and passes some types of robot-syndrome that induces berserkness in other forumechs, while a different 1 in 30 is immune to the berserkness. ("disloyal" caste, "loyal" caste, and the normal caste, maybe?)

Loyal forumechs should be able to turn regular ones loyal again if they go berserk. That way if we get a loyal and a disloyal forumech at the same time, all our forumechs will murder each other and then we won't have any forumechs.
Apiks is dead. It's easier to say that than to try to think about what's happened to her. Apiks is dead, and a monster has taken her place. More than "Apiks is dead", the crown murdered her. Murdered her, and put an unholy being in her place.
I worry. Since her death, I've had a few strange dreams. Burning alive, my spear lodged in some godless abomination's limb. Even the clean lines of sparring are corrupted. Sometimes, I strike someone's leg and though I know I did not wound them, it feels for a moment as though I did but it closed instantly. What should be a clean, hamstringing strike does nothing. It seems strange to wish for madness, but that would I think be better than what I sometimes think I see.
People seem to talk to Quill about things like this, but I do not trust that forumite as far as I can throw him. He spent too much time with Apiks before she died. While I was trying to save her. I cannot bring myself to go to anyone in confidence, let alone him.
I set these words into the rock, so that perhaps a future scholar might piece together what happened here if we die (which I fear we surely must). The rock will not betray me.
Arx.

That way if we get a loyal and a disloyal forumech at the same time, all our forumechs will murder each other and then we won't have any forumechs.Yes, Robot Wars for the win! If forumechs can be implemented, then this would be very "fun" to have as a part of them.
I feel like every time the Forumechs get mentioned, the thread instantly derails.
Three cheers for a possible loyalty cascade!
I feel like every time the Forumechs get mentioned, the thread instantly derails.
I understand what you mean, however it beats radio silence until Sprin posts and is relevant enough to the discussion.
Three cheers for a possible loyalty cascade!
One would even call it a... loyalty spiral.

...I can tell that there's a joke here, but I'm not sure what it is.
I liked the idea of the politicians having pet cogs. Unrelated, but I think around when Necrothreat V begins, since the 2016 election won't be topical anymore then, I'll update the politicians' caste list.
So what polititians can I expect other then the Orange God Emperor and Lady Voldemort?
You forgot the Clintons and the entirity of the DNC.
So what polititians can I expect other then the Orange God Emperor and Lady Voldemort?
Other than them, there's Obama, Sanders, every Republican primary candidate from 2016, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and Ed McMullin. I think that's all.
*Oh, and they automatically choose Trumps for their leaders.
Which group is the humans, then?
Well, we just brought Sprin back. The last time we saw Sprin (the character) was at the end of Necrothreat III - which, as Apiks mentioned at the very beginning of the thread, was a period of time where we saw Sprin at his sanest (if you don't remember, please look at the introductory story post that Apiks wrote on page 2). So of course we'll have Sprin actually writing a story; it fits with the narrative that we have. He's (relatively) sane. Potentially.
On the other hand, I can't imagine that having your mind forcably pushed through time (and maybe the boundaries of several universes) could be particularly conducive to one's coherency of cognitive processes.
Most of them aren't functionally different, but are set to repeat 20 quotes unique to that politician. Rubio has some special features built in though.
*Oh, and they automatically choose Trumps for their leaders.
Did you make him rubibot lmao gotta try him in adv. mode now
Hey Sprin, if i get forumited while you are overseer, will you post something about it, even if it just says, "Quill Arcane came to the fort?"
Hey I would like to be forumited please
Name: Sam
Profession: Doomsday Prepper
Here's a suggestion, if you want it: Due to the past fort's histories of letting in zillions of zombies or zillions of demons, a secure self sustaining bunker would definitely be useful.
I am 6 steps ahead of you aipks.Hey I would like to be forumited please

Strangely relevant this turn.
So, necrothreadomancers were attacking last I heard, what happened with that?absolutlly nothing
Also, just to remind Sprin, Name Quill Arcane. I'd like to be a loremaster and male is preferable.
As in, they all died really, really fast, or they just... didn't do anything, and then left?So, necrothreadomancers were attacking last I heard, what happened with that?absolutlly nothing
Also, just to remind Sprin, Name Quill Arcane. I'd like to be a loremaster and male is preferable.
Also anyone else who needs to be forumited I added a captain of the gaurd who just stabed someone in the neck if they want to be forumited as that guy
Is Flame still alive? If not, dwarf me as that captain of the guard.Nope still alive, only one casulty a farmer who went beserk, he had no name
Sprin would post if one of our characters died, I think. Also, nothing! Really nothing? How!?!Stuff is written, on actual papper going to be revised then posted
I request a Spear dwarf/forumite with traits tending towards respect. Male preferably.
Good enough.
Ya know you can just use the snippet tool to take screenshots, right?
What's the current date/year? I use those for my write-ups.
Btw this is placing an order for Gwolfskiis turn

Patience child, dont worry everything is on fire.
Darn, I assume its to late to order all the books they have. Bloody, missed the message.We both know that you're not British, stop pretending that you are.
I have not yet had the opportunity to read Necrothreat I-III. This thread is my first and only experience with this subject.The later is the correct answer.
Does the mad doctor have a diagnosis on the question of "why are we on fire"? Or is it just, "you are on fire and we have no idea why, please go about your day as normal".
From a medical stand point we don't know the cause of spontanious combustion, we just know it happens and sometimes people get hurt, then we rub some goop on them and they go home.
Mate I am literally from 200 years in the past...ah. Yes.
We've known what causes spontaneous combustion for decades.
They're bought out by big chainsawsWe've known what causes spontaneous combustion for decades.
That's just what the politicians want you to think.
Let me rephrase that: I figured out what caused spontaneous combustion decades ago.They're bought out by big chainsawsWe've known what causes spontaneous combustion for decades.

What is the stupidest thing I could do on my turn?

Start living outside.
We have ashah well
I shall not be attending either of thoes things.You are going to both of those things.
Mate I am literally from 200 years in the past
What is the stupidest thing I could do on my turn?An interesting question.
Last I checked you're not the one who has Jenny, Im sure Aipks wont mind if a single forumite were to suffer an "accident" in the final months of my turn.I shall not be attending either of thoes things.You are going to both of thoes.
Because:Mate I am literally from 200 years in the past
EDIT: Also, have we ever constructed/seen a railgun in Necrothreat? I need to know whether it counts as an innovation or an unproven but advanced theory.
I swear on the dragons, I just think that you should get some information on what has happened in the past 200 years.Last I checked you're not the one who has Jenny, Im sure Aipks wont mind if a single forumite were to suffer an "accident" in the final months of my turn.I shall not be attending either of thoes things.You are going to both of thoes.
Because:Mate I am literally from 200 years in the past
EDIT2: OOC: Thanks, Apiks. What are some of the other changes since III?
v1.7.4 - Various bugfixes and modification to creatures, Hellacopters, undoed previous patch change to Thread Zombies limbs not being able to be revived
v1.7.23 - Bugfixes, Necrothreaders and thread zombies nerfed
v1.7.2 - Politician civilization and minor Bugfixes
v1.7.1 - Additional words in secrets, Indominus Rex, Migration to Github
What about the shark proliferation in fresh water?
(I wouldn't want anyone getting their hopes up about actually seeing the sharks in this fort, since our local animal population was already generated. They're there in Adventure mode though.)
Don't forget your psychology appointment Sprin. Apiks, do I have permission to set up a psychology office as long as I don't try to (officially) psycho-analyze you?
Edit:It would be a good time for Arc to interact with people besides Erin.
Certainly oh... so you're a guy, but you play a female character, so do I say Lady of the Bone Crown or Lord of the Bone Crown? Any way, sure.
posting to reserve a spot. I'm already 6 pages behind from the end of turn update.And now you're 11 pages behind. When you get around to posting, I suggest that you just post up here, Ruhn.
Literally my only experience with the game importing in the threads, reading the (entire, :-/) thread about Cacame, and looking at TvTropes.
and when I got rebutted with oil-soaked flaming arrows (rather than my flint-and-steel based contraption, as I didn't know that we could use oil-soaked arrows)).
and when I got rebutted with oil-soaked flaming arrows (rather than my flint-and-steel based contraption, as I didn't know that we could use oil-soaked arrows)).
You can't use either ingame. You can't shoot fire from ammunition I think.
You were rebutted IC since you gave a complex solution to a simple problem.
I have [...] an incomplete understanding of what is possible and what isn't
Edit: Sprin, anything you want me to know before I write something up for your appointment, any personality traits or ideas that may be important?I ocasionally communicate with alternate versions of myself but since the "resurection" or whatever it was I havent been able to establish contact with alternate timeline sprins.

Welp...
My computer is dead, I have the log of what I did during the year written down but I wont be able to upload the save.
A year were nothing cataclysmic happens and my computer decides to kill itself because of course it does.
Im going to try and get this thing to work long enough to upload the save
With like, a miracle.
Dude I made you a castle, of the highest quality.That is awesome. Seriously, kudos to you. Less the throne room, but a whole lot the everything else.
It was awesome, it had a statue garden a throne room a clinic a gaurd post with fortifications all smoothed out and fully stocked with enough food and amunition to outlast a zombie apocolypse.

What do you mean less???? I think you meant more, a lot more of the throne room :P
Yeah you're not getting to Aipks you'll have to get past the psyco gaurd captain who stabed someone in the neck for a job interview
As well as the person who survived said neck stabbing.
Do I know how to pick gaurds or what?
Laptop

I am satisfied. You may proceed. Let my will be done and all that.
In the world exists tomes of power capable of raising the dead, if I may send a party of "volunteers" to locate one and return it I feel it would be a great asset, for not every King is able to summon a loyale army with but a snap of their fingers.I think that you would find that Erin would also quite like to have one of these tomes; it is not often that you gain access to information on how to bring life to the non-living, and he needs to figure out how to do such a thing if the Forumechs are ever to work.
Can Arc (your resident mage) and Erin (your resident weird specialist) be on the search team?We'll have Aipks decide this.
The voices. They scream at me. Sprin tells me the undead have come to our very gates. I hear them. The voices aren't happy with me. They're angry. I know, yes I know, but I won't listen to them. The crown of bone is mine, mine. I am the ruler. A letter came from Sprin today. He has become more mellow and attentive ever since I showed him proof that Jenny is in good condition. But I know that's just a face he's showing. Sprin cannot be trusted. The madman cannot be trusted. Nobody can be trusted. I can only trust in myself. My sanity depends on it. Nobody else. Nobody...
He wrote my name wrong. He's been calling me wrong for the entire time as well. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. It seems he doesn't notice. Might be a remnant from the olden times with the other Apiks. Sprin subverts my authority by calling me Aipks, but it doesn't matter. I am the ruler, everybody knows that. The throne of bone proves it. My powers prove it. The grand palace proves it.
He wants to send an expeditionary force outside to find a book of necromancy. He wants to send Erin and Arc. I won't let him, no. Erin stays here. He is bound to me. He cannot escape. Yet the power to control the dead. I must have it. The crown of bone demands it! I see, I see, I will send Arc on the search team. Yes, I will do that. I'll send loyal soldiers on it as well, to monitor the situation. Sprin will not betray me. The crown of bone's will will be done.
What evidence have I given that I'm not sane?
Was that her fault?
Also, sorry haven't read the other threads yet, how close is Jenny to Sprin?
Sounds like the perfect person for Sprin, completely oblivious to all the death he causes by being insane. Also, who am I going with for the quest, just nameless guards or anyone important?
Give me some info so I can do some writing of Arcs journey from his perspective.
I have only read to page 34. If my character is still alive, can s/he be a Grammar Nazi? If anyone uses incorrect grammar, their death is imminent.
I kind of hope I didn't use bad grammar with the above, but that would be quite ironic, wouldn't it?
Yep big post coming tomorrow
Oh, yes, you're new to Necrothreat. 'Tomorrow' covers a... broad timespan, as far as posting updates goes.
If anyone uses incorrect grammar, their death is imminent.Attempting to kill sprin means alot of death is imminent in a short time span
"alot". (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html)If anyone uses incorrect grammar, their death is imminent.Attempting to kill sprin means alot of death is imminent in a short time span
Yes, Sprin's death. Sprin, your current vessel is weak. Mine is not. Mine is a mighty hammer wo\man, skilled in the art of bashing in people's skulls. If you butcher English; I shall butcher you, then Jenny. Or should I kill Jenny first, then Sprin? I suppose that killing Sprin first would be smarter, as he would become incredibly enraged, thus being harder to kill, if I first kill Jenny.If anyone uses incorrect grammar, their death is imminent.Attempting to kill sprin means alot of death is imminent in a short time span
Oh hey look its the royal gaurd.I am not a royal gaurd. And the auto-correct auto-corrects gaurd into guard, so that was intentional misspelling. I am not a royal guard, either. I save the civilians from danger, but I will not guard that demon, Apiks. If I had my way, Apiks would supplement his bone crown with the shattered pieces of his own skull.
Where is your respect for the common comma, my good Doctor?I have a possible ally! ;D Would you, and Arc like to join the League of Proper Usage of Language? We have cookies!
If I had my way, Apiks would supplement his bone crown with the shattered pieces of his own skull.I would much rather that the crown just... just... stop being a thing.
I do not think you are aware of who created this League of Grammar you speak of. They own a crown of bone. HAHAHA!Yeah. A crown made of Apik's bones. Time travel, and assassination were involved.
Sometimes, you need to look past the grammar and see what people try to imply. Correct grammar and proper understanding do not necessarily have a positive correlation.I do not think you are aware of who created this League of Grammar you speak of. They own a crown of bone.

I swear to god, everybody at least once misspells my name like that. Not sure if it forces a bleep in the brain or if it's intentional half the time.Sorry about misspelling your name Apik. My brain apparently thought that having an 's' after the apostrophe would be better.

Yes... though I would also appreciate an 's' before it, haha.Although, now that I think about it, misspelling your name is actually in-character. He thinks of correct grammar as extremely important. The very fact that he misspelled your name is proof of his hatred, and disrespect towards you(your evil in-game character, not you yourself). It is kind of like a pacifist killing someone in a berserk rage. I'm that angry, I'm willing to break my most important rule because of my hatred towards you. You are not worthy of the simplest respect. (that may have been way too intense, but I just can't not post it)

This is why google translate should only be used for the translation of individual words. It's far more useful that way.

Now only Ruhn needs to post and everyone will have, well, most of us at least.That was something of a contradiction. Or, maybe not a contradiction, but definitely a weird sentence.

I don't mind having a side game with Necrothreat as a theme. I'm not very familiar with how RTDs work though.ditto. There is no pinned topic on the subsection of the forum concerning it.
(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.That actually happened.

Well, that's miraculous. It's only been, what, a month since Sprin's turn was supposed to expire? :PSurprisingly, it's only been about... what, at most 20 days since his turn started? It's felt longer, yes, but still.
While there is no precedent on withdrawing from your turn, you may do so. We must all remember that this is a succession fortress in the end and was created with the end goal of the players and subsequent followers having fun.

I think that we can say with confidence that a significant number of our characters are displeased with the coup.Most definitely. Although I get a little flexibility 'cause my character came a year after the fact.
Truly the system is corrupt if Th4DwArfY1 is getting locked up. I smell a plot...The system was always corrupt, its just now someone you dont like is in charge.
Good of Ruhn to not like it, though.
We're discussing Th4DwArfY1, when has he ever liked it when he wasn't in charge? Remember all the body swapping weirdness when he danced with Armok himself? Yeah, he likes to be independent. Sanity doesn't factor in.Truly the system is corrupt if Th4DwArfY1 is getting locked up. I smell a plot...The system was always corrupt, its just now someone you dont like is in charge.

FINALLY WORKED
Rules:Sounds like you're starting with no idea of what is going on, Gwolfski?
1. Each player takes 1 ingame year as a turn and then after his turn is over, he saves, zips his savefile and gives it to the next person in line.
2. If the fortress perishes, it shall either be reverted back to the latest save and then it shall be decided onto whom the savefile goes onto, reclaimed or the end of the fort.
3. You are not allowed to destroy the fortress on purpose so that it is considered griefing or in anyway trying to ruin the succession game.
4. You must play with Dwarf Fortress Version 43.05 and with Teh LOLmod (Should be in the savefile).
5. If any Gamebreaking bug is discovered because of the mod, it is to be stated so that it can be fixed.
6. You must forumite (dorf) yourelf after or during your turn as any forumite you desire. Forumite any other person that has expressed such a desire if possible.
7. Report deaths of any forumites that are in the Necrothreat Hall of Fame and add new if you desire and are worthy enough.
9. You have exactly 1 week worth of time to finish your turn. If you have not finished by that time, you are required to hand over the savegame to the next player if you've made any progress. Three days grace period between two players ending and starting is given.
10. Make narration and updates until you turn runs out. Try to keep it to the story. Every medium (three paragraphs) to large (above three paragraphs) update will net you an extra day to finish your turn. Story topic: Necrothreat has been lost to the times and is up to you to search for what happened.
11. Big holidays with a short period (like Christmas, New Year's or your birthday) are exempted from the turn period and will give the current player extra days equal to those of the holiday. This number cannot be more than 4 days.
Note: Everything can be changed depending on how things progress.[/spoiler]

Anyway, I guess I'll be needing a new Forumite. Hmmm...
Eric Greene, some poor random shmuk who was out hunting in the forest when Erin accidentally possessed him. (What, you didn't think Erin would be a ghost? It's been scientifically proven that people who work with magic are up to 100 times more likely than the average person to become a ghost when they die.)
He will go by Eric Quill Greene, and he will adamantly refuse any military postings.
Yes, i'll dorf you, but Erin I is dead. Do I have to display his corpse on the battlrments? (I think I like the idea)

And I think you seem to forget where you get your apprival stamp. Being a part of Necrothreat means to give your mind and body to it. To me.
Ah yes, approval stamp. How silly of me to mistake it for apprival. I knew there was a reason I kept you.Request, request...
Just walked in? I do believe I made a request specifically for somebody of your skills to the council.
Just walked in? Where do you think you got your goddamn science funding?
Just walked in? This is high treason! I'd have you drawn and quartered if you weren't already dead!
Half a month later, things were starting to look up. We were self-sufficient enough for winter, if a bit low on booze. Most of our time was spent hauling as usual. At the complaints of the orders I finally ordered a dozen of wheebarrows to be built and they were now done and made the job much easier. I spent it thinking mainly. We were now a military outpost. Maybe it was time I thought about a successor to leading this fortress and dedicated myself to the military. The visions were all but gone now for the first settlers here. There still exists a feeling of something scratching at the edge of my mind, but it is not annoying enough to warrant any extra attention. Must be the stress from doing the same thing every day.
One day, just as I was getting ready to haul, Tsiru and a forumite I did not recognize came to me. This new forumite stood rather elegantly, with hands behind his back. He had golden hair lined with streaks of gray and a very tanned skin, marking him as one who spent a lot of time under the sun. A soldier maybe?
“Apiks! Remember that letter I let you send to the council? They received it! They sent the person I was asking for and some more people.” Wait what? They approved his request? The military specialist I requested better be among the others. The newcomer stepped in front of Tsiru and bowed with a flourish, introducing himself.
“Erin Quill, magitechnician, traplord extraordinare, siege engineer and marksmite, madam. I know magic science and science magic. The council tells me you have requested my presence.”
I just stood there for a few moments before gathering my wits about. I didn’t expect them to send somebody who filled in on both requests. Wasn’t it the proxy that processed orders regarding us? This must be his version of humor.
Tsiru with his usual enthusiasm opened his mouth again “He’s amazing, Apiks! He knows all kinds of things about magic and science! He tells me of a thing called a “dream trap” where we might be able to capture the visions to research them via magic. He says they must be a remnant of a place of power like this place. He even brought his wife along with him! She’s a spinner and is taking care of the other migrants right now in the dormitory. There’s a macemite among them. See Apiks, the council thinks about you too! They are starting to send soldiers.” He didn’t seem to know about my changes to his letter. He must think I sent a different one about the soldier.
With a bit of a grimace I reply “Yes, yes. Of course. Err, well, Erin was it? I hope you can make yourself at home. We would appreciate your traps here. Marksmite you say? Report to me later when you have some free time. You’re joining the militia and it’ll imbue you with the freedom to experiment with your traps if you so wish. I’ll go check on the migrants now.” We saluted and went off our own ways. Tsiru was engrossed in explaining magical things about this place. I, however, noticed something at Erin’s back where he kept his hands. He was fiddling with some kind of machinery with amazing speed, as if he just couldn’t stay still and had to always be on the move. Great, another nutjob.
Either Sprin missed quite the big details or Gwolfski brought the doom I spoke of.I might have smiged a few details
I believe I rerouted all the body donations to the !!military!!
Can't properly train to fight zombies otherwise, heh.
Well, I'm rerouting the corpses to display purposes.Now:
Gwoflski, my good man, would you have his body displayed? You're already doing it? Great, I knew there was reason you're on the job!Changing orders from the original orders to what somebody had already been doing does not make you in charge. It makes you look foolish when somebody points it out.
Also, would somebody please place a rock over the hole from which this ghost is coming from? I'm done with him.
Dragons damn it.Either Sprin missed quite the big details or Gwolfski brought the doom I spoke of.I might have smiged a few details
Hmm? There's a rock talking near the Orchestra you say, good citizen of Necrothreat? The machinery is made to emit sounds, pay the voice no heed."Rock"? Do you not understand the term "hologram"?

The mechanisms are magitech, Apiks. Music was hardly its sole purpose; it was also the best opportunity to build a Turing-complete computational device.
If you can show me the code for translation into datarunes, yes, I will be able to make the Orchestra run Just Cause 3. With fully 3D visuals, and you'll be able to act as if you are really there, with all the cool stuff.Hmm? There's a rock talking near the Orchestra you say, good citizen of Necrothreat?

A boulder was later found outside of Apiks' castle that spoke only in bad puns about bones....Arc, you're talking out of your arse again. Shut up.

The advantages of magitech are boundless.
That would be.... glorious. I've played at 1-2 fps before.
The reference was totally unintentional, remember I haven't played undertale yet. The point was it was insulting the crown.Just... just stop. You're not working properly. Your insults are defective and your jokes are squeaky from lack of proper oiling. You haven't even applied the proper lubrication runes [retcons!] to your mental cogwheels, and your gear is turning without a clutch. You need to stop.
Says the guy who said runes twice.That's the side stuff, mate; my execution was poor, but your concepts were bad from the beginning.
Well here's the code:Alright, great. Gimme a moment.Graph that to an axial value of 23.678, root it and stick a ! on the end.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apiks seems rather displeased at the anti-establishment sentiment of some of the songs, but refrains from saying anything. It does good to know how things work sometimes.
"Gwolfski, immediately begin extracting possible combat benefits from this machine. A training environment will do us good."
If he downloads Skyrim it would be this (https://youtu.be/4ByfT-bEImg).You don't know that IC.
This is wonderfull. Erin's Body will be on display in most glorious place.*sigh*
emmmm... The world is slightly on fire.you misspelled 'extremely' , and '!!FIRE!!'.
@Gwolfski Is my character alive?Think so, Don't recall him dying.

Sprin gave me one... I'm now wondering if he killed him and forgot 'cause his pc imploded...@Gwolfski Is my character alive?Think so, Don't recall him dying.
You did make him a character, right? Would make sense that he didn't die... if he wasn't even there.
9. You have exactly 1 week worth of time to finish your turn. If you have not finished by that time, you are required to hand over the savegame to the next player if you've made any progress. Three days grace period between two players ending and starting is given.Narratives are always appreciated. Even if it's only tangentially related to the fort itself, even if the only relation is that it occurs within the same universe, it is still preferred to nothingness.
10. Make narration and updates until you turn runs out. Try to keep it to the story. Every medium (three paragraphs) to large (above three paragraphs) update will net you an extra day to finish your turn. Story topic: Necrothreat has been lost to the times and is up to you to search for what happened.
EDIT: While I was getting that quote from the first page, I took a look at the last part of the End of Necrothreat III, noticed Apiks doing magic, and just wondered: do Erin and Arc have any parallels with characters from the previous forts? If they do, please share them.
We have a machine that turns stories into purple magic and we need it so Erin can communicate with other people....no, that's...just, no, and besides, even if the conversion rate from raw ley line magic to useable purple magic is, say, a million magic units to one purple magic unit, there's still more than enough energy stored in the workshop for Erin to have no issues with getting the magic needed. The issue is using it correctly.
Well, the pocket dimension that I put the workshop in was a solid one that had a perfect grid of ley lines. The workshop itself was designed with silver inlays to channel those into a fixture on the ceiling; that's what I use to power most of my things. I don't think that I'll have any issues with not having enough raw magical energy, though I'll have to make sure that whatever I use can channel the amount of energy I put through it.

EDIT: Who has yellow and can someone tell me a bit about Highmax?
Mine. MINE!!!You're dead. Like me.
...Anyone opposed to having that crown destroyed immediately?I've wanted that thing gone since day one.
Wait.. How did you guys know he made a crown?The Bone Crown. You remember it, right? Apiks made a big deal about it ever since... well, ever since it was made.
Journal of GwolfskiI believe you mean "Afer".
The miners have been struck by some unknown weakness. They do not dig in the soil. They speak of a greatsolutionevil called "Aquif'r"
((The guy who got the mood made a crown just now))...
Let's kill this one too.
Twists and turns of darkened fate,Dragons yes.
Shadows burn in twisted slate.
A new crown has been created,
So let us have it execrated!
In ancient Egyptian magic, execration was basically erasing something from existence.
Fine we can go with your plan,I never thought that I'd see the day that any of my plans were called boring.
It's more boring, but I understand.
Guys, I'm doing plumbing again. We are screwed.Uh huh.
Gwolfski that doesn't rhyme
atleast try in this current time.
Purely because he's the only one who had regular story updates (and he lost the crown) when is it Apiks' turn to be overseer again?
Oh. I know what those diagonal walls were for now.Um. That sounds bad.
Unless Odum gets up we'll die withmythe flaw
...As seen here.
You are both terrible, terrible people. :P
Diagonal walls? You mean the walls used to breach the Aquifer and stop it from flooding our only way to the underground?Yeah...
I feel bad for CarefulRogue. His turn's gonna be painful.
Weeeell..... How to say this.... We now have a very secure farm instead of a bunker.

posting to reserve a spot. I'm already 6 pages behind from the end of turn update.Hey, Ruhn finally got around to actually updating that entry.
Edit:
This is a journal entry by Rühn. All writing is of poor penmanship and quality. The pages are wrinkled.
Apiks asserted command as lord general of Necrothreat, out of nowhere. It turns out my squad is loyal to her. They are just using me. Well I got myself shot so I don't have to train anyone for a while.
They just busted in out of nowhere. I signed on to fight the forces of darkness; not this civil war type garbage. We had plenty of order before having to arrest Th4DwArfY1. Orders are a stupid thing. I had to capture the person who hired me. I guess it is karma. Marching around like a tool was embarrassing though.
I'm not confident in the medical staff here. I feel like my shoulder was dislocated on that stone door but they didn't diagnose it.
Apiks is more of a threat than Armok or Ur.
He shall not be attending either of those things. (The history lesson and the psychology appointment)I shall not be attending either of thoes things.You are going to both of those things.
Weeeell..... How to say this.... We now have a very secure farm instead of a bunker.Fuck.
Weeeell..... How to say this.... We now have a very secure farm instead of a bunker.Fuck.
Yeah... about that... if I need to punch through an aquifer, we're dead. I expect undead above, the whole fort flooded because of this mistake, 20-30 surviving members, and an FPS of 10-20 out of the gate. If I have to deal with ghosts, tantrums, and the rest of the problems most forts have in an unmodded version... oh dear.Tell you what -- you stabilise us, I'll try to pull us back up. :PWeeeell..... How to say this.... We now have a very secure farm instead of a bunker.Fuck.
Save tommorrow. It's not what you think.So long as I don't need to piece an aquifer, we're fine. If not, I'm executing you.
Through a lot of deliberation I have found the three most dangerous things to Necrothreat are, in order of least immediately threatening to most...
3. Armok
2. Ur
1. Crowns
Overseers fall under the jurisdiction of Crowns, just like the undead fall under the jurisdiction of Ur and tantrum spirals and bad spawns fall under the jurisdiction of Armok.Through a lot of deliberation I have found the three most dangerous things to Necrothreat are, in order of least immediately threatening to most...
3. Armok
2. Ur
1. Crowns
I'm disappointed that neither me, Sprin or Aquifers are on it.
I am so, so sorry, I have not been keeping up with this.The fort's flooded, Apiks is dead, Sprin is dead, Arc is dead, Erin... I think is dead. Either way, we're waiting for Gwolfski to hand over the save so I can take a crack at this madness.
Am I still alive? What happened to Erin? When is my turn? What has happened since RL ate me whole?
Aquifers are not an issue, they are a place to pray to Afer, god of water.Overseers fall under the jurisdiction of Crowns, just like the undead fall under the jurisdiction of Ur and tantrum spirals and bad spawns fall under the jurisdiction of Armok.Through a lot of deliberation I have found the three most dangerous things to Necrothreat are, in order of least immediately threatening to most...

I god-damned guarantee you that some overseer will flood the fort at least partially.Oh, hey, look at that.
Did you get the rubies, copper wire, catsplosion, and dragon for me, Imic? I'd imagine that you've had time to acquire them.Imic was walking through the fortress, on break from his work. He was looking for a certain fourmite. After going through most of the fortress, he returned to the meeting area, where he found the fourmite in auestion.
'Hello, there. My name is Imic, may I ask yours?'
'Erin... Is my name.'
'You were a... Magitechnologist? Wasn't that it?'
'Magitechnition.'
'Yes, that was it... I have a question.'
'Yes?'
'Well, you see. Um... I... Am intrested in magitech...'
'Yes...'
'Well, you see...'
'Mhm?''I... Will consult with Apiks. On whether or not you are needed for anything else.'Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He mainly said this out of bewilderment from a large dwarf dropping on his knees and yelling...
'Thaaaaank you soooo much...'
We are going to need twelve rubies, fifteen cubic kilograms of copper wire, one bottled thermonuclear catsplosion, and a baby dragon. Get to work.
EDIT: Also: Magitechnician. You take "magic", and you take "technician", and you add them together, and it's "magitechnician". C, not T.
Arc is currently living in one of the twelve other planes he can reach through his mirror, I think I'll write about it. The rubies would be very useful now, they contain a small amount of red magic, its where the color comes from, and Erin needs that to make a new body.The rubies were for teaching. This has nothing to do with my current state of existence. Disregard any and all things that Arc may claim about what I need, thank you very much.
Save tommorrow. It's not what you think.For a given value of "tomorrow".
Was the site down for anyone ? I got 504 errors yesterday, hence no save.not getting any error now, so I don't see an issue.
Well, I'm uploading the save to dropbox, I'll have to contact my ISP about the 504 errors. Other sites had that too. Possibly a DNS error?
It would appear that we are doomed to be riddle with technical issues. I blame the Orchestra for taking too much bandwidth.
As someone who only reads the fortress updates because I don't give a fuck about roleplay, what the fuck is the orchestra?Simply put, It is a music-based magitech computer. Of course, Glass will probably yell at me for over-simplifying it.

Hey, is my dwarf still alive?
Does that mean Gwolfski lost?Hey, is my dwarf still alive?
Everybody's dead.

Everybody's dead.
As someone who only reads the fortress updates because I don't give a fuck about roleplay, what the fuck is the orchestra?Apiks told me to make him a music machine to commemorate Th4DwArfY1's death. I built a musical supercomputer instead. It can run Just Cause 3.
Its a magic super computer, it can generate holograms, summon temporal entities from other dimensions, detect ley-lines, and play Just Cause 3.me!
Who wants to hear about Arc's adventure in the 6th dimension?
Very well then, sometime over the weekend you all get to learn about Arc's trip to Britiian Terra in the Neo Renaissance.Its a magic super computer, it can generate holograms, summon temporal entities from other dimensions, detect ley-lines, and play Just Cause 3.me!

FTFY. It's still on the table, and depends once I get the chance to look at the save in depth, which might not be for a while. If I can RP it in, and actually pull it off...

Sadie Hertz. Though Sydney Crimson (the female musician) would be preferred, if there's an appropriate Forumite.
Of course, I could still probably make it work with both. That would be interesting. :D

They'll be storage rooms before the month is out. 1X4 rooms are good enough, and if I want to have nice rooms, 3X3. Used to be grander, but that's a lot of work.I made the 7x7 rooms. Something about not putting my soldiers in miserable conditions.That's... surprisingly sympathetic of you*.

You have angered Lord Afer, there, Carefulrogue, write that in for Gwolfski's execution. I'm pretty sure he is the last internal threat left, with his death we can focus on external stuff, like Armok and Ur.No! I'll be good! I promise! Please! I'll- I'll just stay in my basement! Please!
Well, I'm not overseer, but my thought is, give the crown to me for further !!Research!! and stay in your basement, but lets see what Carefulrogue says.No, we get rid of any of those gods-forsaken crowns.
Letting everyone know, anything like !!this!! means to kill with fire.Well, I'm not overseer, but my thought is, give the crown to me for further !!Research!! and stay in your basement, but lets see what Carefulrogue says.No, we get rid of any of those gods-forsaken crowns.

I am the manager and bookkeeper.I only realized that later. I'm still trying to figure out what to do, and all together, I'm beginning to think I need to prioritize your execution. We got a few undead lying around (caged) ... trial by combat, and will only require a little setup.

May I recommend wearing the crown? It really is quite special and its powers can help us. We even have two.
I support the magma approach, but how about dumping it in the magma sea so it'll be destroyed forever?What, do you think I was gonna drop in anywhere else?
Please don't execute me. You really don't want ghost me.I'll have you carve your own slab if I have to.

Will be linked to the master crown which your new overlord will wear. This is to ensure coordination between crowns in the war against Armok and Ur.
I would also supply seven crowns for the conquered people and three for the elites
Vote Apiks, new overlord!
My opponent has used the powers of Armok and Ur, has been proven to be mentally unstable and does not even know the correct glow for his only magic item, he is not fit to be overlord. I propose a triumvirate led by a political leader, a army leader, and a magical leader, giving representation to all groups. Erin and I will give magic lessons to whomever wants them.First off, "overlord" is not a position that people vote on.
The Nine Rings, a name you can trust.
Vote Quill Arcane for new overlord
EDIT: I suggested a triumvirate.
Vote Quill Arcane for new overlordAhem.
Will be linked to the master crown which your new overlord will wear. This is to ensure coordination between crowns in the war against Armok and Ur.We're closing to the point where I assassinate all the craftsmen.

Waiting for when someone notices i built a Sprin-temple...If it's you carving his name into the ground, you'll find it won't be there for long.
I don't think that is necessary, just get rid of anything thematically appropriate for a crown of doom, crush bones into powder, keep a close eye on slate, ect.Will be linked to the master crown which your new overlord will wear.

Well done. You went and killed me. How... unfortunate. For you. Not me. Because my last anchor to sanity has been released. Good luck. You shall need it. Also sign me up for a turn.

Did Trump actually finish him off, or was it something else?I'll check the logs.
Reforumite me as a spear user or a mason, if possible!
Quill Arcane, male loremaster, if possible, knife proficiency but it isn't necessary. You guys need a loremaster, you haven't had one since Apiks killed Tsiru.
Once again: I need a new character. If possible, I'd prefer Sydney Crimson, female musician. Otherwise, any one of Jackson Spades (male musician), Sadie Hertz (female tinkerer), or Jeremy Silvers (male tinkerer, least preferred) should be chosen.You've all been dwarfed.
Sydney Crimsom...she likes crowns and has "little natural inclination to music". *groans*Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You are supposed to pick fitting characters, not just anyone who comes along, that is why it takes so long!
So, Forumechs.We had four military members at the start of this turn. It's remarkable we lost only 5 in the last attack.
EDIT: We seem remarkably close to all dying, which could lead to Erin summoning a time manipulating entity to return us to the beginning of the expedition (a different game) where EP can implement Forumechs.

Aww, don't get rid of the crowns. Just put one of them on, you know, just to see how they look on you.no one has access to them, and I'm currently having trouble with everyone dying on me. The magma is there though if anyone wants to take a crack at ensureing the above madman doesn't take over. And besides, my character is plenty crazy as it is.I promise Apiks isn't going to take over your mind.
We're in a death spiral.
So, any forumites that could work for Arc, or are we going to be looking for the time machine?
EDIT: meaning we are so screwed we will restart the game.
I thought Rogue's job was to 'stabilize' us? When I left, things were fine.You have a strange definition of "fine".

We had no weapons, no goods to trade, no half assed attempts at defending ourselves. When I saw I was after you and Sprin, I was just hoping I could survive. I couldn't get rid of the crowns, because you apparently cannot dump artifacts. Glass lost two characters in the successive time it took for the civilians to deconstruct a wall; his third was ripped to shreds the next full moon. That was the point where I declared us in a death spiral. After that, the trolls arrived, and it wasn't until the spring migrants appeared, that it became clear, there were a lot of trolls everywhere.I thought Rogue's job was to 'stabilize' us?

I wasn't dead. Nobody was starving, except Apiks, who was playing idiot. We had food. Drink. A Sprin-temple.
I think I may have to add a rule that known fortress destroyers have at least two people between them in the turn list at this rate.No, I'm pretty certain he's screwed. He can try and do what he wants with the forces above, but they don't have equipment, and somehow I lost track of the half dozen squads of troll spotted on the surface.
Good luck, Arx. I think we've been in worse situations, you can do it!

Apparently she made some kind of artifact. Can't eat it, can't kill trolls with it, don't care. Maybe she'll live, who knows. If I remember I'll write it on the next tablet.

And she survived? I think I know who'll be the next maker of crowns.

Not the courage wolves. :'(
Why does Gwolfski show up twice?
Nah, we're not actually screwed. We've got something like 34 mites alive and I think at least 10 of them are adult and in the bunker. As long as someone has the gumption to dig the damn tunnel we should be alright, because then I can make a quick dip for plump helmets.I tried that, and then found a cave dragon outside the door. I'd suggest reaching for cavern three, if you think you can make it. I don't think there is anything edible in cavern 1. Could be wrong though. I spent my entire time worrying about issues on the surface, only to find I'd need to spend the last couple of months in a hole, with no food, excess water, and more children than we can possibly feed.
Can I be left as a ghost please?

Spirits surround me... I am not sure if I am alive or dead. They suddenly surround me, crushing me, drowning me. Wait, I am not being drowned by ghosts, I am in water! I desperately try to swim for the surface. It appears that a ceiling is above me, but I try anyway. I rise up, up, up, and luckily, instead of hitting my head on the ceiling, find myself in a small cave. I gasp for air, then note the only entrance to the cave appears to be the water I came in on. If I were a Human, this would be impossible to see in, but, luckily, I am a dwarf, and dwarves can see in the dark. There are some boulders piled on one of the sides. I decide to try moving them, hoping that I may discover another exit to this place. As I move one of the boulders, I see glint of light, and am encouraged to move more of the stones. I discover not an exit, but a peculiar sword. strangely, it seems to shimmer in the light, even though there is no light here. As I sit here holding this sword, I remember whose fault it is that I am here. Gwolfski! He is the one who flooded the fort, dooming many dwarves to their deaths, and forcing me to refuge here. As I remember Gwolfski's folly, the sword glows. I calm down a little, and the sword's light lowers, until it is just a shimmer again. I realize that to gain revenge on Gwolfski, I must get out of here. As I realize this, the sword resumes light, until it is nearly burning my eyes. I feel myself walk to the wall. "But there is no exit here", I think, While my sword swings, and creates one. The rock is hard, but my sword cuts through like meer butter. Where it slices, nothing remains. I smile, and begin to tunnel through the rock. Later, I pop through into one of as-of-yet unsubmerged corridors of the fort, suprising a somewhat elderly dwarf. I say to him, "Where is Gwolfski?!". He replies, still shaken, "Gwolfski is nowhere, for he is dead". "No, this cannot be!", I exclaim, "How am I to get revenge on one who is dead?". Then, the sword iself seemed to speak to me, and it said this, "Many things I can cut, and I happen to know that ectoplasm is one of them". "Hmmm... I suppose this shall work.", I said, and walked off. "I think I shall refer to you as 'Rosywander'", said I as I walked away. "you ain't wanting to buy some fish?", called the old dwarf after me. I turned back, and put Rosywander to his throat. "Do know what was wrong with that sentence?, said I. "No", said he, afraid once again. "Ain't means 'am not', and 'you am not' is incorrect grammar", I said as Rosywander sliced through the fool's head.A Grammar Nazi madman, wonderful. Just what we needed.

A Grammar Nazi madman, wonderful. Just what we needed.Do not forget the magical evil telepathic adamantine sword, also known as Rosywander. Oh, by the way, Rosywander is a artifact adamantine luckblade(as in "oh, look, my enemies fell into a hole that happened to be there." " Hey, all of my enemies were hit by lightning." " Oh, a troll appeared and killed all my enemies, then died of a heart attack so it would not attack me."). I didn't know how to reveal all this information in the story post, though.

One of the first things I did was carve that out and begin moving coffins down the stairs. I intended it to be the public gravesite, but I didn't get the opportunity before trolls appeared. How easily can those things climb? Because I know I got the gate closed, and then suddenly there was more death. Didn't you guys mod them to have the ability to short range teleport?Pro-sanity.

Hopefully things will be stable enough that the next overseer can get back to searching for hints to lost Necrothreat.
So you know the trolls making it in around the fortifications? There's a damned ramp up the outside of the fortifications, leading straight into the inside. I have no idea why the fort isn't swarming with zombies right now. I have corrected this. The ramp, not the zombies.Yeah, sorry about that ramp. I constructed that when I found out the trolls didn't instantly murderize everyone on the surface, so they found finish the building project of mine. We were already sealed off then, so I didn't give a shit.
FYI, the lever in my bedroom seals the bunker. Probably should've mentioned it earlier.I was thinking, I should rip up all these levers, since I can only guess what half of them do. That was before I ended up in the bunker of doom, and then I was forced to try and fine a working lever to close the gate.

NEVER rip up levers. The time may come when an unlabeled lever will save us all.
Also the levers in the control room in the bunker are labeled. With engravings.

Yes. Because I need to get them out of the fortress and I can't do a proper pit right now. We can bury them as soon as we have enough hands/time to make that possible.Personally I'd atom smash them so there wouldn't be any bodies to animate, but it is your choice.

Fort isn't in danger of falling any time soon, unless things go horribly wrong somehow.I thought that this entire thread was the tale of everything going wrong, all one after another, with the caveat that the worst thing that went wrong to the fort is Bay12 forum-goers are running it and preserving it to torture it indefinitely.

No. Whatever you're referencing, isn't close to what we're referring to.It's a fancy name for The Last Battle from the Wheel of Time series.
That's the one where the Calormenes discovered Kalachakra, right?
just start packing food into barrels and stocking them in every part of the fort. We can never have too much food.
How much beer have we?
The weapon was surrounded by light and with the gold color and luck based abilities has a very "good" aura around it, however, it is evil, very evil.
Single-handedly fixed the troll problem, having lived through the worst of it outside the bunker. He's the entire reason we're not still stuck inside that tiny box. :POh yeah, those guys. A migrants wave came in the spring and I said "what the hell? Make yourselves a ramp and finish my construction projects!" Which, I guess they didn't entirely finish before the dead came. Oh well.

Anyone who, between now and the end of my turn, misspells word or misplaces grammar, will die during my turn. I know it is not yet my turn, but that does not mean I cannot oppress everyone already.This is a terrible idea. You cannot just go around, starting the Grammar Nazi party and having the Forum Holocaust! (this is the only time I will use that term)
Bloody hell please no. We have almost no forumites left right now.One of my previous ideas was killing everyone except me. Why are you complaining about letting some of them live? And besides, I will not kill people who use correct spelling and grammar.
This is a terrible idea. You cannot just go around, starting the Grammar Nazi party and having the Forum Holocaust! (this is the only time I will use that term)You are not being serious, right?

Wait, why do you make it sound Rosywander is controlling me? Rosywander is my friend; he would never betray me, and I'm in complete control!!!!!
Bloody hell please no. We have almost no forumites left right now.One of my previous ideas was killing everyone except me. Why are you complaining about letting some of them live?
Rosywander is my friend; he would never betray meI fixed that for you; you need to use a semicolon to separate phrases that can be used as individual sentences, not a comma.
I won't do quite the same thing to me, but if 3 grammar or misspelling mistakes of mine are discovered in posts after this, Rosywander will slit my throat.Challenge accepted.
Who do I need to forumite?Everyone uses only one m, not two.
I'm in complete control!!!!!
I won't do quite the same thing to myself, but...

Also, the English language butchered the English language.I fixed that for you.

I hoped to phrase that in a way I capture "you people" as those that use British English, and "we" that use American English. Apparently, I've failed."You people"?We still don't understand why you people insist that color needs an extra letter.I can attest to that.

...congratulations, SM, you actually tricked someone into thinking that you're British.
I'm pretty sure that's what most people who don't have English as their first language have a problem with. A great amount of letters in the English language that simply should be gone in a large number of words.Wasn't always like that. Largely came about as a result of 17th century onwards standardisation of the written language, but not spoken.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that Shakespeare didn't sign his name consistently - that is, you could have four genuine Shakespeare signatures and they could each have his name spelled in a different way.I'm pretty sure that's what most people who don't have English as their first language have a problem with. A great amount of letters in the English language that simply should be gone in a large number of words.Wasn't always like that. Largely came about as a result of 17th century onwards standardisation of the written language, but not spoken.
Could be worse, though. In England, especially the south, they've largely lost rhoticity (in other words, they don't pronounce the "r" in many words. Car becomes Caə (Cah), etc). Strangely, American English often retains rhoticity. Many differences between English and American aren't because of new changes, but because English has changed since Americans first took it up.
I realise I just went on a bit, but I find this stuff interesting :P

Oh, dear. One life down. Second life down from spelling forumite 'Forummite'.Rosywander is my friend; he would never betray meI fixed that for you; you need to use a semicolon to separate phrases that can be used as individual sentences, not a comma.
EDIT: By the way, would you please get a new forumite for me? His name should be Vladimir "Nox" Golubev (the name - and nickname - of the most awesome XCOM unit that I have ever had), and he should, if at all possible, be the best crossbowmite in the fort.
...is crossbowmite the correct term? I am not quite sure.
Add dictionaries. They should make people uneasily.'uneasily'? Unless the dictionaries are creating people, and having difficulties with it, you just used incorrect grammar. Hope you like death!(although, I may soon join you.)
I can Smoke Mirrors Quill Arcane, but he'll not have any knife skill.

Joke's on you. Gwolfski was already executed.I'm going to forumite him again. Then I'm going to send him to kill the zombie siege. I assume he will die, but he may actually win, which would be awesome.
Hence 'Bonus'. :PI will send grammar misusers to the zombies. I was unable to post the story, on account of having to read the new stuff.
Also, are we killing people?Hope you like death!(although, I may soon join you.)
How's the fort doing.
I personally manage that by running the fort in the background while I write up story. Particularly with so few forumites, things move slowly.I wield Rosywander. Also, I was going to hole everyone, except Gwolfski, behind a second wall, let the trolls kill gwolfski, then kill the trolls with heat. Unless Gwolfski successfully kills them, which is quite possible.
Also I should mention that if you try to kill the trolls everyone will die. They killed almost the entire fort originally.
Also I should mention that if you try to kill the trolls everyone will die. They killed almost the entire fort originally.That was mostly the result of the fact we have no weapons. I considered digging for adamantine, so we could get some swords to arm us with. The only problem with that, is that half of this fort is run by crazy madmen, that are being possessed by ghosts, forcing possession, and attempting to threaten others with the souls of other ghosts. I'm merely trying to stay alive, even if I am possessing people.

I must find the find the grimoire formally owned by someone Rosywander describes as 'Glass's first forummite'.You're looking for Erin Quill's journal?
Using Rosywander's power of extravision, I note that the grimoire is guarded by a male troll, a female troll, and a baby troll.Would it be correct to assume that you mean that the entrance to Erin Quill's extradimensional laboratory is guarded by the trolls?

I can forumite Smoke Mirrors as Quill Arcane, but he'll not have any knife skill. I don't have any scholars either, so how about I wait on this.

Imic chose to give me the title of Overseer!
Of course, I had threatened to slice him lengthwise with Rosywander if he refused, but he could have chosen to be sliced lengthwise.
Since I am now the leader, I shall find out about our situation.
We seem to have adequate food and drink, especially considering our population of 24 including children; 9 excluding children.
We have both dogs, and multiple doge, whatever the plural of them is called.
We have other animals, but none of the other animals have a breeding population.
10th Slate, 555.
One of my first acts as Overseer is to enact legislation for constructing an atom-smasher, to help destroy the piles and piles of raise-able corpses right next to the entrance.
11th Slate, 555.
According to Rosywander, We are being sieged by various forces.
One of the forces is a horde of zombies, and the other is composed of three trolls.
According to reports, down in one of the cavens, a horrifying beast waits...
It is a great crab, composed of andesite. It has three long, spiral horns, and it has a bloated body.
Or, at least that is said. Personally, I do not believe it. After all, great crabs composed of andesite usually have four horns.
15th Slate, 555.
I was talking to Rosywander, when a forumite came up to me, and asked if I was speaking to him.
"No, I was speaking to Rosyander here" I replied. He gazed at me with a rather strange look on his face.
He said, "But... Rosywander is your sword".
I replied, "Yes?... So, Rosywander is my sword. And if you do not mind, I'd like to continue speaking to him"
The forumite continued looking at me strangely, no doubt envious of my awesome sword.
Rosywander said something funny, and I laughed; The forummite walked pretty quickly away after that.
17th Slate, 555.
I was reviewing the trade agreement with Athel Udist, and I discovered they were willing to pay 206% for crutches. Why do they need crutches so much, nasty pogo accident?
I also was looking at the artifact storeroom. It contains:a wombat bone puzzlebox; a rounded turkey bone helm; a limestone helm;a pecan wood puzzlebox; a phylite mug; and a phylite kussad; but not a partridge in a pear tree.
20th Slate, 555.
The other forummites believe I don't have the power to stop the siege. I will show them. I will show them all. I WILL SHOW THEM ALL!!!!!
Rosywander has whispered to me a way I can halve the opposing forces. I will do it.
I must find the find the grimoire formally owned by someone Rosywander describes as 'Glass's first forummite'.
Using Rosywander's power of extravision, I note that the grimoire is guarded by a male troll, a female troll, and a baby troll. Finally, some decent sword training!(NOTE:I have not yet actually tried fighting the trolls. This is a cliffhanger.)

B) I couldn't just flag it for dumping.
C) Politicians and Trolls came and gave me a bad day for the rest of my turn.
At this point, we can only hope some thieves come and carry it off. It's not a pleasant solution, cause, ya know, it's a extremely dangerous artifact now in the hands of goblins/kobolds/whatever-other-shit-you-guys-put-in-place.
I'm sorry sir, but I don't know who you are. Would you mind elucidating your origins and connection to Necrothreat to me?whatever-other-shit-you-guys-put-in-place.Ah, good times.
I just expect the grimoire is full of numbers that nobody understands and is thrown out as junk.The wonders of theoretical magitech!
A grimoire is a book of spells and incantations. The conotation of grimoire is negative so it usually contains spells of dark magic. It would not contain Erin's math.I just expect the grimoire is full of numbers that nobody understands and is thrown out as junk.The wonders of theoretical magitech!

I have only read to page 34. If my character is still alive, can s/he be a Grammar Nazi? If anyone uses incorrect grammar, their death is imminent.Remember when we saw this and just said "Sure, go nuts" back when we thought it would be no problem?
I kind of hope I didn't use bad grammar with the above, but that would be quite ironic, wouldn't it?
As lovely as that is, where's my update, Pikachu17? We need moar of Rosywander. (and since I'm already dead, joke's on you)That is okay. I already have a forumite picked for your imminent death.(I am currently checking my update for grammatical errors)

I'm going to speak frankly for myself. If there's general disagreement with me, then I will accept that, but this has been bothering me.I wanted him to at least write in something about tuning the oboes. It would have taken five seconds. It didn't even need to happen in game.
The reason people ignore your story is twofold:
1. The conventional way community forts run is that non-players writing fluff work around what the player posts. This is because a big part of the fun of DF is that the player doesn't have absolute control. If you desperately want to see a particular story thing happen, ask politely, bearing in mind that what happens on their turn is their prerogative, or you take a turn yourself.
Demanding that the player write your fluff into their turn, even if it inconveniences them, is just straight up rude. They're finding time to do something they enjoy, and you're telling them you want them to do something you enjoy instead. Be considerate, please.
2. 99% of the stuff you guys have written makes little sense in-game or is entirely divorced from what's actually happening/present in-fort. This apparently doesn't bother you. I intentionally wrote hooks for you guys into my story posts (the perpetual motion machine? Quill's journal?) that made sense in-game, and you either didn't read the post or ignored them.
At least offer others the things you demand of them. If you want them to respect your fluff, you'd better respect their fluff. That's more-or-less the foundation story heavy succession games are built on.
Rant off. Like I said, if I'm the only one that feels this way I shall suck it up and just enjoy the fort, but I felt it needed to be said.
I would like to wait. Also, I knew already.Oh. Sorry. I was just skimming the posts so I could update, and I must've missed it. Or forgot about it. Sorry.
HEY, YOU DIDN'T FIGHT THE DEMON OR ANY OF THE OTHER WARDS! I TOLD YOU NOT TO PROCEED UNTIL I POSTED ABOUT THEM!

13th Malachite, 555.
I have re-discovered The Adorable Gates, which, as a artifact helm, might be useful for lowering The Bride of Butterflies's power to a safe threshhold.
I will spend some time with it, attempting to lower the spell's power.
14th Malachite, 555.
Imic's ghost has been put to rest.
Our poor lolcat is badly distracted.
23rd Malachite, 555.
Well, that was unpleasant. I went to my room, attempting to get a short nap, when I discovered a rotting corpse on my bed. The corpse was smaller than most, so I assume it was a child. I have sent it to coroner.
I expect to get the autopsy results in a few days.
26th Malachite, 555.
The coroner, although it was difficult with the rot, belives that the child died of simple dehydration.
Our queen is demanding a dress, possibly for some kind of ball. I will have one made.
I thought the politicians were all bad, but their fundraisers are really cleaning cleaning up the raven population.
1st Galena, 555.
I have spent more and more time with The Adorable Gates, attempting to lower the power of the mighty fire spell. Rosywander seems somewhat indignant about it.
Pikachu17:"Are you jealous of The Adorable Gates?"
Rosywander:"Me, jealous of that sorry excuse of an artifact? Why should I be? It doesn't even glow. It is hardly an artifact at all.."
10th Galena, 555.
I find myself drawn to The Adorable Gates, but I know not why.
Rosywander accused me of cheating on him with another cursed artifact.
I replied, "Wait... 'another cursed artifact'?"
Rosywander then said, "I-I mean 'a cute artifact. After all, I am a non-cursed artifact. And I am angered that you would even think of a different artifact! Is not my magic powerful enough for you?"
Pikachu17:"Okay, first; you make this sound like a gay couple. Second, I am not cheating on you. I don't think The Adorable Gates is even a sentient artifact.
Rosywander:"It is a sentient artifact. Put it on, and banish all friendship with me."

Ha ha ha. Silly little thing Roswander was. He called this helm "hardly an artifact at all". He was wrong. The Adorable Gates is mighty. MIGHTY!!!!! *boulder explodes* SEE!!!!! SEE!!!! SEE ITS POWER!!!!! ROSYWANDER, I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE, I'VE GOT A MUCH MORE POWERFUL ARTIFACT NOW!!!!! HA HA HA!!!!!
the writing does not continue in Pikachu17's script. However, there is a note after this, saying the following.
Pikachu17's corpse was found, with its throat cut; Rosywander slick with blood. We sealed Rosywander behind a thick stone wall.

Smoke mirrors:I have just written my death. Could you write the circumstances of my resurrection by Monday? I will post the rest of my turn on Tuesday, and upload the save.
Everyone:I was fully aware that putting down the grammar law would turn everyone into grammar nazis. I intentionally turned everyone into grammar nazis. I intentionally did some of the grammar mistakes (though I also did some unintentional ones).
In other news, Rosywander has not been destroyed. Anyone could find, and claim it.
Um... What ring? A ring of resurrection? A ring of binding? A ring of power? While trying to bind Ganondwarf to make him not evil is okay, it should fail. I'm writing the rest of my turn without seeing your post, so please don't make something that I should have to know in order to write the update. I will probably not see any replies after this, at least until Sunday, probably not until Tuesday itself.
You know what, give me a turn. If the game makes it to me I'll rip the roleplayers a new one.
We had a discussion about that a page ago.
I took a couple math tests and went back up to my hotel room to play RTD games. Nothing disastrous has happened.If you didn't want me messing with it, maybe you shouldn't leave the keys in it tomorrow.
Oh, it will be. I'm so sorry.
Hey, did anyone else notice that while 80 was the newest page, EP copied Glass's sig text, but he changed it back after that?
Also, forumechs.
I have no memory of this event but the turnlist doesn't lie.You know what, give me a turn. If the game makes it to me I'll rip the roleplayers a new one.You already were in the turnlist. You must've requested one before.

Also, did we just give Necrothreat away to a homicidal sword, an insane puppet and a chuuni warlock?
Also, did we just give Necrothreat away to a homicidal sword, an insane puppet and a chuuni warlock?You seem to forget the fact in Necrothreat II you had a man possessed by Armok himself. That's a pretty high bar to set, and I still don't think we've gotten there yet.

Objection! I lay my case that we must harness the power of the artifacts for our gains! We must not forget the original purpose of us coming here. Finding something that can aid in the war against Armok and Ur that rages on as we speak. The Adorable Gates must be let out, not destroyed!Nope. We all know how it goes when someone tries to tame evil powers. Into the magma they go.

This ghost would very much like to destroy all the artifacts. They bring nothing but misery. We have the ingenuity to destroy Ur's and Armok's Armies without exotic powers.And besides, if at first you don't succeed, get a Forumech.

If you're making a joke, haha. If not... reread the entire story of Necrothreat IV. While you're at it, read the others.

But that would be something we can deal with in normal, dwarven ways.

24th Galena, 555.
A scholar has arrived. I'm currently the evil king of this dark fortress; what does he think it is, some kind of spa retreat?
9th Limestone, 555.
Even more scholars have arrived. Do they think this is Disneyland or something? It is the base of my operations for when I bathe the world in shadow. It is most definitely not Disneyland.
For one thing, there would be more screaming.
New person in charge, time to repost my forumiting request, we have scholars now, I may even get a character.None of the visiting scholars have joined the fortress yet, I'll forumite you as soon as one does or another scholar pops up.
I still need to be forumited, Quill Arcane, male loremaster (scholar works), if possible I would like knife proficiency, however it isn't necessary.
The 4th of Moonstone, 555. This was the day. The day I took control. For too long I had idled. I had watched my mother, Zon Shîmbilsodel Tosidzethruk Tashem, perish. My father, "Th4Dwarfy" Asteshzerith Tishak Nóton, undoubtedly awaited the same fortune. As did the other forumites. The Marksmen, the Queen, even the children would perish in these wastes. This cursed phlegm in the earth had taken its toll.
They did not respect me. I knew it before I even aspired to the greatness of Omer. "Peasant", they called me. "Useless", "Fodder". Merely because I had yet to learn a skill. I would not need to, however. I had higher ambitions than becoming nothing but another one of the craftsmen. The children were better than me at crafting already, and I would not waste my life on such useless frivolities. My life was of those who created it. Not my mother, let alone my father. My life was the God's. And theirs would be mine.
I don't know how I did it. But suddenly they just listened. It wasn't the touch of Idräth that caused it. No, Idräth felt different. She felt warm like molten gold, yet cool like gems fresh from the earth. Idräth was too earthy. Even though I considered myself her faithful worshiper, she would not answer my prayers until she knew of my powers. It weren't the stern tendrils of mist accompanying Nekut's avatar. It wasn't the glee and satisfaction Åblel brought. It wasn't the strength and tiredness of Ibes' aura. It weren't the floating words and whispers of Thukkan.
It was Omer that touched me.
The god of rainbows and rain, light itself even. The god of revenge, too.
In seconds that felt like eternity, he whispered. Not into my ear, not into my brain. My entire physical being hummed with each word he spoke, a language utterly alien yet immediately comprehensible. His voice sounded like the eternal thrumming of a shower, intwined with a sharp and feeble sound. The sound of light itself. The sound of a knife slitting the throats of your enemies. A single order he gave me.

Hey, does anyone here have an allergy to dihydrogen monoxide? Urgent.Water is not an allergen.
01010010 01010101 01001110这是什么?
The days have gone by at an erratic rate. Sometimes it all blurs together, sometimes it slows to a crawl. I don't really keep track of it. I have no reason to mark the days, since they don't really have any meaning to me. The hands I passed the fort to were capable enough. We're doing better than we were. I should check, but it's so taxing...Purple is mental magic. What you're seeing is the incredible amount of control magic in the crown, the amount that turns anyone who puts it on, no matter how strong willed, into a puppet for Armok and Ur. The crown probably also exudes an essence of command causing others to follow the wearer's orders. You may also be seeing violet, which is destruction, or indigo, which is prediction. I'd say, based on power's shown, It is probably purple and violet, maybe with a bit of indigo mixed in.
I might have occupied a number of different bodies, and I think I've come to a realization I'm forcing them out, or sharing the same space. I take nothing but their senses, and their motor skills, but only from time to time. Sometimes I take over completely, and then--then there is nothing left but me. For some periods, I can vacate the bodies, and wander freely. Oddly, perceptions are shaded in black and white, with limited color. All about, the fortress there are shards of colors, some blue, orange, purple, green, red, yellow--
Ow. It's so hard to read all of the colors. I've made just a few connections, that some are associated with items, locations, bits and pieces of natural objects, and most unusually, people. Not everyone contains the kaleidoscope, but I'm certain I've seen some of these forumites before. I've passed them in the halls, and they've been deep in thought, or directing the rest of us. Interesting.
What's more though, is the items. The bone helm comes to mind as a good example of it. I wandered to the surface briefly, before turning tail and -- well, I guess it wouldn't be running -- fled from the creatures on the surface. The dead seemed fully aware I was there, and knew where I was. That was unsettling. But, for the time I was there, I found the crown, still sitting in the remains of the broken tree, fire flashing in and out of existence, with the crown literally glowing--purple. No other color could really be seen. I'm certain there were traces, but I just remember the purple. Given it's sour history, I wonder what it means? I don't think anything good...
So it's clear, my character has no understanding of magic, but knows of it's existence. What he's perceiving here, is what his limited state can comprehend. I'm mostly looking at Glass and Smoke Mirrors, since they're primarily driving the magic plot.
If we go from there then Apiks' descent into dictatorship is not due to the control of the crown, and she was not under the control of Ur or Armok, but of normal forumite psychology buckling under immense pressure, compounded by the fact she had a soldier's willpower. The higher they are, the harder they fall, eh?and
I'd argue this just proves Apiks is the only one worthy of wearing the bone crown.
Somebody remind me to execute him when I get a turn on the grounds of treason.

yyyyeeeaaaaahhhh

I'm not quite sure if you realize this, but Sprin's magic is entirely purple colored while Apiks' is white (ending of Necrothreat III for proof.) And... well. Since you said one of your lessons on magic colors that violet's opposite is gray, it makes sense that purple's is white.Alright, let's do a rundown of the magic system.

For the record, white magic is linked to time.
(Could you stop quoting large posts like that btw? If you must then delete what's in the post [or use a specific part] and add a -snip-. That's usually what we do around here.)
You would be absolutely wrong on that note simply due to the fact that white magic is already established as time magic in Necrothreat (as I said, read the ending of Necrothreat III.) Quite ironically it is time itself that is proving my point. You fellas can't just change the continuity randomly.
And white's opposite is purple simply due to how the color scheme works in terms of opposites, not properties. Plus Purple-White has already been established as opposites in the world through the Apiks-Sprin dynamic of the previous fortresses.
As I said, if you want to create a magic system then it has to tie in retroactively. As it is, it doesn't. My version of things also makes Necrothreat IV's Apiks' descent into madness even more tragic to boot if you go into deconstruction.
Damn youngins trying to teach the being known as Apiks the Wise. Back in my day we would've had you lot on mining duty!
Grey magic - typically divided into Black or White magic - is anything regarding creation. White magic is used to refer to healing done with this magic, while Black refers to combat magics - the creation of fireballs, lightning strikes, ice storms, and so on. However, Grey magic is also used in the creation of portals and pocket dimensions (such as my workshop) as well the fabrication of resources.Nobody argued when I said this, Apiks.
I still insist that Apiks' white magic counteracted the purple magic of the crown"Counteracted".

Each universe has its own version of magic and they're now interacting with each other? I'm liking that premise, Glass, and would fix all the continuity errors. I still insist that Apiks' white magic counteracted the purple magic of the crown, albeit at the cost of huge strain. After all, white magic being linked to time is from the older universe, and the whole deal with Apiks suddenly gaining power over time is because of the other fortresses.
Hey, does anyone here have an allergy to dihydrogen monoxide? Urgent.Water is not an allergen.

Well, for once I agree with you mate. This sounds fun. I can see the thesis papers now "On the Interactions of Inter-Dimensional Magic" by Quill Arcane. Seriously though, this sounds interesting. The story aspect is just a bonus, all writers love a bit of character development. I do, however, have to draw a line at you being "Apiks the Wise."

(/quote)Actually, some people actually are allergic to water. Only on the skin, though.
Also, lemon pie, Ganondwarf is powerful enough to take them out. Nox might also be strong enough, as well.
Last time we had that combination, zombies got in and I freed hell in an attempt to stop them. Who goes after Gwolfski?What happened to this? Why didn't EP ever get to go?
EDIT: It's enemy post. God be with you.
Hey, can I get out of my turn please? Doing Borechanced, I realized I really don't like playing these. I'd rather just be dorfed as an animal trainer.Ah. That happened.
(Also, I have little idea what I'm doing. You'll probably want someone competent after Sprin and Gwolfski.)
You most definitely can make use of the holiday turn extension rule. Easter is considered a big enough holiday that many institutions announce their own holidays during so it is allowed. Also, how is the FPS in the game? Is it playable?Great, thanks! The FPS isn't great but not too bad either. It's just a little slower than usual, especially now there's both a siege and a major fire going on.
Pretty good FPS on my turn. We only have about 30 dwarves including children, so not much FPS death there. Not many pets, so no FPS death there.
Changing the subject, we could replace the raw innards of one of the animals that are already here with forumechs. I recommend regular dogs, as doge and courage wolves have taken up their purpose.
I think the best option is simply to wait until Necrotheat V.That would take a while. III went until 116, and II went until 121. Both have also had significantly more overseers go through them than this one has so far. They both had 16. We've had 8.
Measuring via thread pages is a poor way to predict how long it would take. Measuring by time would be a lot more accurate. For comparison, Necrothreat III took nearly 22 months for 16 overseers. Necrothreat IV has cycled through 8 in 5 months, more than half the time.There's a reason that I mentioned how many overseers they each had...
This does make me happy since Necrothreat III is the reason I even implemented so many time rules. Overall, I'd say at this rate it'd take until the end of this year for the fort to get busted.

Why does every overseer have a beef with my bedrooms? I just wanted every single forumite to feel at home :'(They're just so incredibly large and empty.
Ganondwarf nervously awaits the lowering of the drawbridge.Nervous? Ganondorf often gets his freakin' head stabbed straight through, but you think he's going to be nervous about some weak little politicians who can't even harm him?
There's like an underground mini castle, gargantuan bedrooms, floor levels, just random rooms, something with mechanical water stuff I don't understand and a helluvalot more, too.The water was engineered by someone to make infinite power. I don't think it currently does, though.
How was the siege lifted? Afer smited them? Ganondwarf slaughtered them?Idräth, the Goddess of trade, wealth, jewels and minerals must have lured the last politicians elsewhere with promises of donations to their neverending campaigns.

*Clap, Clap, Clap* *Standing ovation*. Holy shit that was great! That was glorious! Lemon Pie, you are a great writer.Sadly enough those scholars are just visitors. There might be some other forumites for you, but none scholarly as of now.

About the same for me. Seriously, when I took over the forts, I was like "where are the bedrooms? How the fuck did we survive for these few years without a tantrum spiral?!" Turns out, we had rooms. They were so massive, I mistook them as storage rooms. And so begins the saga of attempted carving of new rooms, smaller, less generous. At least there won't be a self contained draft.Why does every overseer have a beef with my bedrooms? I just wanted every single forumite to feel at home :'(They're just so incredibly large and empty.
Normally, I give them 2x1 or 3x1 bedrooms with shared doors. They'll just have a bed and a cabinet in their room, but the floors are engraved and the walls smoothed.
When I'm feeling especially generous I might give them 2x3 or 3x3, and give them a statue and a chest, maybe even a weapon rack.

Realy? Nobody even tried to interpret my speech? I am dissapointed. Its not random mumbling, i spent half an hour on it :(My closest guess would be that you've somehow locked either an army of undead of a necromancer somewhere in the fort, as you seem to be referring to dead characters and tombs and stuff.

I will not pretend to understand what you wrote, Gwolfski. I realized that it probably meant something but hell I'm not decyphering it, and as such it holds little interest while it remains without escalation, conflict and conclusion context since it's merely foreshadowing (and as such if you write more it may make sense.)
Now, if you were trying to be philosophical then you definitely need some sort of context to get us invested.
The mechanic is also a fluid/optics engineer. Is that scholar enough for Smoke Mirrors?I'm afraid the mechanic/doctor died in the ambush, unless you're referring to another forumite on the list?
I somehow missed the fact that I killed myself. I don't know if I should ask for reforumiting now, I clearly don't appreciate it. :PI'll gladly reforumite you.
I'll take the Axemite. I think it's time for the return of Apiks.I'm glad you like them!
Also keep writing! I'm greatly enjoying your writeups!
"They do not know what powers they mess with, nor who is in the body I now possess. A life had to be given and a life I had taken for my return and yet they do not know me. A false queen has installed herself in my throne of bones and my crown has been banished to the deepest reaches of this fortress, far beyond my reach.Oh my, let's
The mortal coil does not matter, now that I am here. This is a place of death. Of necromancy, even if I perish yet again, I shall rise again. Rise again to take back what is rightfully mine! Time. Time. I will bide my time. After all, I have all the time in the world, kahahahaha. yet the crown. It beckons to me. I must have it. THE ONE TRUE CROWN MUST RETURN TO ITS TRUE WIELDER.
But time, yes, time, I shall bide my time. Everybody that knew me is dead, they won't recognize me, yes. I will bide my time. The crown will be mine again. But what is this? I feel new powers at work here, not just workings of Armok and Ur. More gods have taken an interest in my bastion, my salvation. This cannot be allowed to stand. I refuse to bow down to any god! I refuse to let gods control our way of life anymore!
The gods must be destroyed. Banished from this world and the next forever. No longer will I let them hold my fate in their hands. But for now I must bide my time, yes. I will bide my time. And when the time comes for the gods to be put in their place... well... may justice be done though the heavens fall."
As such I'll be taking another go at the fortress if it reaches to my turn. With all the religious maniacs we have I thought it might be time to return to secularist society.
That's P.I Kachu! Anyway why do you keep referring as if I'm a private investigator? Besides, both pikachu17 and Ganondwarf are dead.
Well, the fort is becoming more and more mystically inclined and I very excited. While I am not in the interest of helping the god killer, I had been thinking of this since P. I. found Roseywander and I feel like this would be a good time to say it. I had been thinking that Afer and other gods wanted Roseywander gone because it was some sort of god killer. World serpent's fang, enchanted with the soul of Apophis, (or his fang) or some other type of mythological death weapon, it just makes sense, expecially with Apiks' new "mission."I look forwards to the lessons if nothing else.

@Glass, how many characters do you approximately control at this point?

Er... Somebody might one day read this. I should probably explain what Gold and Silver mean. Just as magic is categorized on effect, it is also categorized on source. Gold is magic that is inborn into a person. Silver is magic from the environment, and is typically associated with ley lines; it got called Silver because it was discovered that silver - the metal - is the most useful for conducting magic. Bronze is magic that has been "gifted" to somebody, usually by a deity of some variety, although sometimes by a very powerful mage that specializes in Blue.
So judging from this, I'd say IC Lemonpie uses bronze green magic, right?Vladimir "Nox" Golubev (who is psionic and also king of all snipers), Erin Quill (the Magitechnician), and Sydney Crimson (the maestro).

Quickedit: Apiks, just noticed pikachu's save isn't displayed in the OP yet
Using Omer's force to get a large scrying screen up in the Cathedral was a difficult effort, but in the end I succeeded. Elaborating on the divine magic would be tiresome, but Omer's light and rainbow spheres allowed me to bend the light from outside precisely into a local rain shower I summoned. The light would refract on the little droplets, and the miniscule rainbows springing from it would replicate a crystal clear view of wherever I wanted to see. It works in a similar way to the way I attach images to my writings, though the process of adding these images to my pages (referred to as divine photorapthurgy) is somewhat simpler. I just catch the light, compress it and soak it into my pages. Omer is a useful God to worship.

Looking forward to your title, eh? I've updated the OP with pikachu's save.
Scrying is Indigo magic. Normally it needs a focus, but I believe thanks to the fact that you get it from bronze magic, that it is able to use the water droplets and light as a focus instead.Ah, alright. Would the photorapthurgy be considered scrying, or something else alltogether? It might even be yellow, seeing as light and paper are combined into detailed pictures.
Journal 30.9Just a short link to the lesson where I explained Indigo and Violet magic as well as artifacts
Probably green or red; you're manipulating the water droplets to manipulate how the light falls, and imbuing the droplets with light in and of themselves. The photographs would be red magic, not yellow; you aren't making the paper able to cast a spell, you simply used magic to cause it to show an image.Scrying is Indigo magic.

That inscription is the cleverest thing I've seen in a long time. Engraving animals to use as letters? Genius! And it's even symmetrical!I'm glad you like it! I really wanted to clear the rubble of it but my dwarves would not haul a single boulder, so it has to remain as it is, for now.
I just noticed those letters. That was a great update. How are the politicians working out, balance-wise?Haven't had the chance to properly fight them, just locked up everything and cowered in fear. I think they're similar to regular goblins in strength though, maybe even weaker.

Anyway... Yes. You are an awesome person, my lord Lemonpie. You have the support of all the Orchestra for your reign in heaven when all is over and done.
Your turn was an absolute blast to read, Lord_lemonpie. Thank you for playing. The new Apiks' strength does surprise me though. I usually get unlucky forumites, haha.Thank you so much!
I take it the creature that left your body is you, the player? Regardless your writings were greatly enjoyable.
Lord_lemonpie, I hope that whoever is next is as good a writer as you, but I doubt that is going to happen. You are a great writer and I really enjoyed your turn. Most people just have little snippets, but I really prefer it when they write a story, especially if the story is as well written as yours were. I hope whoever I get mited under can write half as well as you.I'm incredibly glad you liked it, and I look forward to writing as the overseer again.

Pages since SM first asked for a forumite: 72I think it was Sprin's turn.
Wait, now that I look at the statue again, it looks like the forumites are trying to stop Apiks from leaving (which is why he's making the submissive gesture.) Which in turn is probably because he became possessed and Apiks left on purpose to return to Necrothreat. This statue must be preserved at all costs!Oh bollocks
The military was using a 3x3 to train in. 7 dwarves had to fit in the space lol so I made the room a little bigger for the barracks

Conquest of the HFS is endgame-level stuff, and is best done in a single-player game. I expect that in a succession game, it would be nigh-impossible to do in a single term unless you managed to convince the prior overseer to do all of the prepwork, and you would still probably need the next overseer (or two...) to finish up the job and make everything safe and livable.
Then you would be able to have strawberries.
But it would have to be a multi-year effort, and that simply would not work cleanly in a game like this, or at least would be a very difficult thing to do.
Like herding lolcats.
I'm not the one you need to ask about that. Just remember: we are still in what is essentially recovery mode. Honestly, I can see this kind of thing done as a "we're going to die, let's do it awesomely"-type finale, or else "we've made ourselves invincible, let's poke the dragon"-type climax, but it's just probably too much risk when we are in the state that we're in right now.Conquest of the HFS is endgame-level stuff, and is best done in a single-player game.

Pretty typical for Teh LOLmod. I see everybody has forgotten that our only real means of fighting them is the railguns.
Actually, we seem to only have vanilla workshops and furnaces.
I just checked the raws, and the building_lolmod file lacks a [OBJECT:BUILDING] tag. Thus, none of the buildings actually exist ingame. We'll need to fix that.
I done it on github. Merge the pull request and release a new version.
I'm still counting corpses on my screen- haven't even pressed anything yet, I'm laughing to hard at how utterly fracked things have gotten. I can't wait to see the actual fort.Sounds very promising.

To fix it for Necrothreat, try just changing what building the reactions use.

Forumechs can be made, in a already generated world, by changing an existing creature.•o•
You could also change centaurs to be forumechs, give them a magic Boulder reaction, temporarily make a reaction spawn that magic Boulder. The forumite uses the reaction, breathes the magic, and transforms into a forumechs, ready to slaughter. For some reason the auto-correct wants Boulder to be capitalized.🤔
I've tried this method twice, though. It didn't work.may I have the Raws to test.

Besieged as usual. I'd have put up an update, but... nothing has happened, other than a few masterworks.
Apparently Necrothreat has no 'Global Moderator', 'Banhammerer', or 'Tech Support'. I think I can guess what the Banhammer is supposed to do, but what about the other two?
Given the state of Necrothreat, I'm going to go on a limb here and say we've never needed a Tech Support- there are only three states of being here. Alive, Dead and Undead. Injured? That just is the moment before you're dead, silly.
Funny you should say mad doctor- have you somehow been reading my rough draft I write as I play?

I'm pretty sure he died before my turn even started, as I had to appoint a random mechanic as one.Given the state of Necrothreat, I'm going to go on a limb here and say we've never needed a Tech Support- there are only three states of being here. Alive, Dead and Undead. Injured? That just is the moment before you're dead, silly.
I never actually appointed him, but unless he died there should be a Suturer floating around with a whole bunch of med skills enabled. Saved a couple of lives!
Lord Lemonpie was a very popular leader and high priest, he kind of does have the authority to yell at you in the name of the gods. But I think you did fine.
Here you go. I should probably improve them if we actually get them working.ooohh. You didn't realize that new bodies can't be created in an old world. We could either change old bodies, or just use already exisiting bodies, and the forumechs should be possible by replacing dogs with them.Code: [Select][CREATURE:FORUMECH]

I don't mind if you guys wish to do so. I'll also appreciate if somebody can get the damn railgun working and test it ingame.

I believe Spearbreakers had made an working Railgun in their mod- there might be bits of code in that which could help.
Are the reactions bugged out too? If not simply make them use a vanilla workshop. If yes simply replace a less-than-useful vanilla reaction with the new reactions. You could also have them make a adamantium railgun with no reagents needed.🙂
Soon we will have another magic lesson, who's ready for auras?

I do hope you'll eventually compile all the lessons into one and tie them in somehow.

The statement I make whenever a new overseer starts their turn work?
I will test and attempt to provide raws for working railguns and forumechs. By the way, I have tested before, that you can give any single creature a fire jet interaction. You can also fix the temp of elf skin to 50000 degrees Urist, which understandably toasts them a little bit.😊

Indeed that was one proposed solution. However I do not believe anybody has changed the code to do so yet and tested if it would work then. Said person would also have to coordinate with the person who's turn it is right now for the new reactions to work in the savegame.
No need for adamantine railguns though. They're powerful enough even in their base form.
Well crap- I don't know what just happened. My computer decided to restart for an update and now the save doesn't exist- it's like it was never downloaded. It also made several folders full of documents vanish, setting me back weeks since my back-up hasn't been updated for that long.I'm sorry to hear this, it sounds absolutely hilarious :(
I'm going to be gone for awhile- I suddenly have a lot of work to bloody redo.
If this hadn't happened, you'd all have found out that it was Lord Lemonpie who had died, due to the fact that the ghost had somehow vaporized Lord Lemonpies entire lower torso. Somehow, he continued to live a walk around like nothing had happened for a month, until he died of dehydration due to the small problem of not having a stomach anymore.
Of course, the fortress would have blamed me. I'm furious- I was having so much fun with this. :'(
Well, on to the next poor soul- whoever you are, watch out for all the unlabelled levers lying around. I counted at least four on the surface floor alone.

Yeah, good point. Merely a different take on it, since you guys seem to destroy the entire essence of the one previously occupying the body. My character either doesn't realize it, or his impact is minimal. Just hijacking the eyes and ears.

How I see it: Sprin/Jenny-- summoned from the void/spaces between dimensions. Dwarfy1, usually fighting off/starting another row with Armok. Apiks jumps from body to body, with each iteration being successively more mad. Himax, a semi-sane swordsman/magic user whom has defied death numerous times. Usually by traveling into the land of the dead, and killing the lord of death in the land of the dead, and then coming back from the void. How exactly I was supposed to carve out my own unique niche, I'm not sure.
Keep the door closed, you bastard.
That's a sobering thought.Keep the door closed, you bastard.
He's not joking. Again, watch out for all the unlabelled levers- all it takes is one child, tantrum, or failed mood hitting the right lever and you're doomed. Hilariously so, in fact.

That reminds me, in any of the Necrothreats was there any attempt to recreate Boatmurdered's magma-doomsday-cannon-thing? If not, I feel that I should make some attempt at creating one or something similar to one. Just 'cause.
DOES NOBODY IN NECROTHREAT LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES? I REMOVED THAT REFUSE PILE IN MY TURN SO NECROTHREADERS WOULD HAVE LESS ACESS TO CORPSES, BUT NOOO, WE HAVE TO CONVENIENTLY PUT THE CORPSES RIGHT NEXT TO THE ARMOK-DAMNED NECROTHREADER!
honestly better than I expected
Okey dokey, I have acquired the save. Game runs at about 40FPS, which is honestly better than I expected. The graphics are at normal DF level, which is nice since the last time I tried to take a turn in one of these forts everything was rainbow colored shit.
Anyway, since I've just barely been managing to follow along with this, what's our current situation?
also armok help me

Thanks for fixing the forumechs, Pikachu.I'm not sure the forumechs work, but now we have mechadogs, and I think we can get railguns.
I'll start soon then, probably within the next day or two.
This does not seem to crash. I am not sure if I got forumechs in. To try to get one in, use the reaction "Make a forumech" at the soap maker AND lab. If it actually works, it should probably given reagents, but for now it is free. I changed regular dogs into 'mechdogs'. I think I succesfully added in railguns, but I am not sure, as we did not have enough resources to make one. To make a railgun, or railgun slugs, use said reactions at the soap maker AND lab. Just replace the current raws with these. http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12895
While testing this, I saw an undead Hillary Clinton hand.
Also while testing this, I noticed that someone else re-added a refuse stockpile right next to the main gate to the outside. DOES NOBODY IN NECROTHREAT LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES?

It's like what happened with Sprin's turn. Except more radio silence.
In related news: anyone got some idea for Teh Lolmod to share, so that we can discuss it like we did the Forumechs? Probably should have asked that earlier.

I'd like to offer this creature pack (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163773.0) I made for consideration. It's got the rest of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs to go with the Indominus, among other things. I included the Indominus I made for this in that as well, I hope nobody minds. The various categories are all capable of being used separately, so we could take certain creatures and leave others if we want.

Would it be possible for them to be somehow modified so they become dinosaurs that can shoot as well? I think that'd be in the spirit of the mod.

Sure, shooting dinosaurs can be made fairly easily. The dilophosaurs in particular already have a ranged attack. What would you want them to shoot, though? I could make them launch projectiles, breathe fire, or shoot webs. Some could even carry guns or other weapons, if given a sort of civilization like animal-men. I think it's best if I make only certain ones able to shoot and the rest are normal.

Lazers, obviously :P
Is think adding an armored lazer shooting caste that is rarer to all the species is te best idea. Not every single dino should be that dangerous.
I also had another idea while thinking about the civ possibility. Like someone pointed out a while back, Teh LOLmod currently has no equivalent to humans. I could merge all the small dinosaurs into one heavily casted "gun dinosaurs" race with behavior based on humans. Then they could exist in the world as gun-toting dinosaur mercenaries and arms dealers alongside their normal counterparts. I would distinguish them from the normal ones by adding "gun" to their names. Gun velociraptor, gun pachycephalosaurus, and so on. Given the weaknesses of ranged combat, I might try to encourage some of them to become wrestlers or give them other weapons as well.Yes.

I, for one, am not happy at all. At all. I can already hear the screams for all the executions coming.Nonono, only one execution will be necessary.

Oh, look, it's the heir to the throne of Sprindom.Enemy post, undwarf yourself when your turn is over. That was my plan. Then nobody can take vengeance on you.
That only increases the body count. Do you really think I wouldn't wait for migrants and then kill all the older forumites?
Did you just atom smash the crown into oblivion?Indigo sensors just changed radically... future's lookin' bright. Someone up there just did something really good.
Your actions have altered the threads of fate. Profound consequences are to happen.
The crown has fallen. The throne stands empty. In the darkness, something awakes.The Mechanical Heart is rising from deep within the sky.
EP, anyone who matches my mite description?
Also, new person in charge, time to re-post this: I still need to be forumited, Quill Arcane, male loremaster (scholar works), if possible I would like knife proficiency, however it isn't necessary.
Let's have some fun, mates.
EDIT: Just wondering: is it possible to set an entity to not be allowed for being necro'd? If so, whatever tag is necessary for that should be given to the Forumechs, if it hasn't already been. Maybe something similar to how Bronze Colossi turn into bronze statues when killed.
Alright. If it's not already in the Forumech raws, it should get put in there.EDIT: Just wondering: is it possible to set an entity to not be allowed for being necro'd?

There's a tag for that. Intuitively enough, it's [CANNOT_UNDEAD].
The castle should be near the main shaft
Oh I swear to god if I droped the wrong save file
When you said you were building me a castle... I difn't think you meant it literally, Sprin. How have we not had a pocture of it? What the hell is going with the fortress layout.It is such a confusing clusterfuck, it honestly does not surprise me.

I've tried making actual labyrinths in DF that turned out easier to navigate
It's a community fort, Apiks. These things happen, and sometimes you get rooms that cannot be found without having a dwarf inside to zoom to.When you said you were building me a castle...

This is what happens with virtually every Necrothreat. I always start out things by making things nice and organized and with every place having a purpose and then over the course of five turns it devolves into... this.

It is done.You know, destroyed atrifacts just show up again somewhere else in the world. It's like freaking SCP.
It is such a confusing clusterfuck, it honestly does not surprise me.Actually, at my turn, it was the easiest to navigate community fort I have yet played in. All the rest were much harder to navigate in.
Actually, the Adorable Gates was a helm, not a crown.
- A binding and yearly agreement to never make a crown, to never import a crown, and to destroy any and all crowns which we may acquire through any means
Now to pick out the animals. I asked what caged creatures we have as of now. I'd collect a few from the woods, but the superzombie horde is waiting there. They said we have a rare panda. I was excited to show off such a rare creature, but on closer inspection...well.Hey, on my turn it didn't have a name. The Mason Queen (I named her that, because she's the queen, and a mason) somehow adopted it? She likes zombies? This does not bode well...
(http://i.imgur.com/D5iPXmn.png)
It's a little undead. And it belongs to the Mason Queen. Oh well. I'll find something eventually. Maybe when the hippies stop by. They always did have a admirable appreciation for wildlife.

I think you qualify. Someone else will need to confirm.
Also, has the main save been altered in any way, so that I'll need to update the modded version I'm running? I can't tell with all these discussions of forumechs.
The main post has also been revised with a new layout that I believe to be simpler and better on the eyes (the revision was prompted mainly by my own intent, but prematurely due to reaching the max character count.) I would appreciate feedback on it.
books, crownsNo crowns.
Book collecting is fun, but citizens tend to read instead of doing their jobs. I say lye, steel, and steel ingredients.Makes sense. Also, war animals.

It's Necrothreat, what did you expect?
Aaaaaand let's kill the quote pyramid. Also, nice to hear that the place is peaceful. We've had some good overseers recently.
Only 5 deaths? Gwolfski, are being careful?
Give Gwolfski a stable fort and he will destroy it. This used to be Sprin's job, but at least we knew Sprin didn't try to do so actively.
I noticed Courage Wolves are actually renamed dogs. I could remake them as actual tame wolves next time if we want.Nice. None of them died.
I think so?I noticed Courage Wolves are actually renamed dogs. I could remake them as actual tame wolves next time if we want.Nice. None of them died.
We have no magma safe stuff. This is an issue. Are nethercap pumps magma safe?
Which does bring to face that we want updates, Gwolfski! Actual, paragraph-length updates! Don't go pulling an apiks on us.I'll write one, this evening.
Regarding Glass and Smoke Mirror's fluff, due to the convoluted manner in which they are written, often breaking the fourth wall...I'm sorry, but when has my fluff ever broken the fourth wall? At least, other than the whole Just Cause 4 debacle (and that whole period of time was made non-canon anyway because of a computer crash).
Fair. I will stand by the fact that the vast majority of what I've written has remained in-character, though (at least, when it was meant to be in-character, i.e. not this, an not most edits).
Oh gods. That was close. We nearly unleashed Necrothreat.FTFY
Why were all of the titles removed? I mean, I know it's been like that for a while, but... why?
Found them. It's just that it used to be that they were with the player's name in the cycle.
It would take less characters overall... although then there wouldn't be a good place for the saves.

...Player titles have never been in the player list. It's an idea, but it's one that has never been implemented.
Again, looking back through the thread. Guess who's (hopefully) getting a second gold star!Correct, gold star. You'll get another if you don't kill us all on your turn.Magic!
No, its the glow, not the color.
Magic!
I have little objections to putting the player titles in the player list. There is one tiny little issue though. The titles can be thought of as spoilers for those reading the first time.Agreed. Half the fun of reading the original threads were the surprises when a major chapter of excitement was uncovered.
@Glass, that bit of white magic wouldn't possibly be my character, would it? Just trying to work within the bounds of the story being laying out.Actually, it's Apiks. Recall, in the old universe, white magic was associated with Apiks and purple magic was associated with Sprin. They show up to Erin's devices the same way that this world's magic show up, but they are, of course, in weird places that don't make sense based on this world's magic system.

Also a reminder to Gwolfski. You have until Friday to finish your turn (including a single-day bonus thanks to your first post.)

More (longer) posts = more days right?
Cause I'm in the middle of writing a good long thing.
Write about your character's experience with magic. I know SM would appreciate it.Also a reminder to Gwolfski. You have until Friday to finish your turn (including a single-day bonus thanks to your first post.)
More (longer) posts = more days right?
Cause I'm in the middle of writing a good long thing.
Basically every long post will give you an extra day to finish. In this regard if you have an especially big thing it's recommended to split it and post it over a few days, instead of one big chunk so you can get the extra days (remember that each of those posts has to be long enough to be considered its own post.) You can of course artificially inflate this number by instead writing more fluff that doesn't matter mechanically in game (such as your character's story, side stories, or just ramblings) as you might've noticed some of us do. That's probably the easiest way to gain additional days.
It's about time something was posted on that note.
You're turn was supposed to end yesterday... °-°
Yes, but the point is that this should have already been written and such. :-\You're turn was supposed to end yesterday... °-°
I'd prefer to just let him finish.
Technical difficulties do indeed grant a few additional day, and as such his internet troubles are justified.
This post length is fine for the additional day bonus.
Dear current overseer,tommorrow i have net and time also save then.

...no write-up?This is Gwolfski we're talking about, I don't know what else you expected.
That's because of problems which made me unable to finish the turn
Also, can I have a spot on the turnlist please?
That's because of problems which made me unable to finish the turn
Also, can I have a spot on the turnlist please?
Every single time you take a turn in Necrothreat you have issues that forbid you from finishing on time or posting the savegame in time, as well as posting proper regular updates, among a myriad of other issues such as internet difficulties and/or real life troubles.
Are you certain you would still want a turn on the list? Would it not be best for you to sort them out before you take on another responsibility?
I say this because in the case of you taking another turn and these issues manifesting themselves I will this time be a lot more strict and less lenient in regards to you in the areas of time, post quantity and quality, post format, story continuity and requests or questions from other people in the thread.
Oh shit, I just noticed, it's like midspring. Gwolfski hardly played at all.
Also there are more unburied corpses than I expected, but it still shouldn't be a problem to bury them all. Do I have permission to use DFhack solely to clean up?
Gwolfski hardly played at all.I'm wondering whether or not this is a bad thing, given what happened on his first turn.
Sadly you do not. Only case we allow the use of DFhack is to fix the FPS, not to avoid menial tasks such as this one.Nah, I mean like autodump-destroying unreachable items, spider webs, garbage, etc. Also the clean all command.
it started in winter.Gwolfski hardly played at all.I'm wondering whether or not this is a bad thing, given what happened on his first turn.
You know, just thinking: couldn't other civs have their own types of forumechs? Say, the hippies could have livingwood golems, while the politicians could have cogs (http://toontown.wikia.com/wiki/Cogs), and the gamers and haxxors and other computer-themed groups could have aimbots and stuff.
The new entity animal framework is set up, though I've only used it for kobolds. It's pretty basic -- you can compel an entity to use creatures that either belong to a list of classes (classes can also be excluded), or by their token, and you can set them to either use matching animals from the environment or to get a free environment-independent starting population as with the current domestic creatures.

The new devlog says we can set specific pets to a civ now, so this old idea Glass had should be viable when the next version comes out.

You could make the koi blood transform the koi into a dragon. If you don't them to be quite so awesome, you put a longer timer on the transformation, so it only works if they survived the encounter. But, how exactly would you get goldfish or koi, anyway? Are they land-koi?Anybody want goldfish or koi in the next version? I could make those.Can we melt the goldfish down for gold?

I could make goldfish drop gold when they died. It would be a lot harder to do the Magikarp thing and I don't really want to, but I bet the Pokemon mod has that.
I don't think Lemonpie survived, right? ;_;I said assaulted, not killed. He got his neck scratched.
Posting this so a character can be saved for lemonpie's turn, because he is an amazing writer and the first one to include Afer in the main posts.That's because there aren't any scholars. We have none. We have never had any. Pick some different qualifications.
I still need to be forumited, Quill Arcane, male loremaster (scholar works), if possible I would like knife proficiency, however it isn't necessary.
If anyone matches, please try to keep them alive. Its been 92 turns since I requested forumiting, its getting old.
What do we have that is close then?I forumited you as the bean counter.
You're a treasurer, Harry!What do we have that is close then?I forumited you as the bean counter.
I requested waiting for Lemonpie because he does awesome write ups. But bean counter is fine.What do we have that is close then?I forumited you as the bean counter.

Hmm.
I thought it would be The Warrior.The Anti-Paladin perhaps? A nice mix of them both.
I took a look at the fortress.Don't worry, anyone have an issue with skipping Apiks' turn?
Please don't send me back there.
I took a look at the fortress.I must be scarred by playing forts like Murdermachines and Bloodyhells. It's fairly tame even compared to Necrothreat III. It's really not that bad for a succession fort.

The bear in Omer's temple has escaped. Some courage wolves are fighting it aaaaand, it's springtime, and my turn as overseer is over.
Gods I should have never put the bear there in the first place.The bear is right now, at this moment, being harassed by about 10 courage wolves. It's no threat to anyone. I don't know how it escaped, as it never bothered anyone before that point.
Ironic but fitting if it would kill me.
I suggest you check whether the forges are covered in magma or not. I'm not sure if I contained the magma.Ah, so it was YOU who managed to dump a bunch of raw adamantine into the magma. The forges are fine, but we only have one of them.

Nice :DThe illusions are generally restricted to me. They don't exist visibly. If you can perceive magic, you can probably see it. The details might be blurry, or unclear, but those that have the gift will know it's happening. My character generally hasn't figured out how to manipulate magic to the point where it crosses into utilizing anything but purple, with hints of other stuff. Illusion though will be a big thing.

Well, anti magic inquisition is over, but I'll wait until my mite is properly introduced to do another perspective writing.What did you want for your mite? I can forumite him/her. Let's hope no one designed some death traps for our forumites.
Uh, I don't think we renamed scholar to anything... did we? Probably not.Nah, there were some forumite scholars that visited during my turn.
The second part is supposed to be why you were having all the visions. Please note that I mentioned this happening "the previous evening".Well, I had the idea this had been going on for a while, progressing up from loose words and names calling out to him. I... really don't have a good idea of how to use this.
Eh, fair enough. I don't necessarily remember what people said happened during their turns, more just general impressions of their personality, or some special event that occurred. I didn't actually remember your turn at all, so... yeah.The second part is supposed to be why you were having all the visions. Please note that I mentioned this happening "the previous evening".Well, I had the idea this had been going on for a while, progressing up from loose words and names calling out to him.

From my first turn, as evidence of previous visions. They are unrefined, vague entities. Slowly they're getting sharper, and that's about where we're at.
Won't be able to take a turn any time soon, please move me down to the bottom of the waitlist:(
How did the bear get away from the courage wolves?From what I understand from the log, they were keeping it suppressed. I was just sorta tired of dealing with the reports, and there was a lot of blood, which given prioritization, it will never be removed. Unless you do want to have a temple to the god of blood.
Long, sure, but sounds like it's been successful, too. Good job, CR.Generally better than I expected. Granted, I inherited a legendary level military squad, then added meatshields. TheFlame can probably be credited for success as of right now. I merely said, "to hell with it," went click, and here we are.
Goddammit, why did you send the new recruits into battle? The experienced military could have handled it and you just got them all killed! We don't have a surplus of forumites you know!Well aware. I just have a chronic distrust of the military's capabilities.

Rosywander is gone, BTW:D
Rosywander is gone, BTW, I just didn't want to unforumite the guy.Really? Is this a joke, or are you serious? In any case, Rosywander doesn't exactly exist in the fort, it's just a convenient way to have forumites after previous one die, without having to have resurrections or reincarnations.
Oh, I thought Rosywander was one of the artifacts atomsmashed during enemy post's turn. Never mind. I don't pay much attention to roleplaying outside the OP updates.Rosywander is gone, BTW, I just didn't want to unforumite the guy.Really? Is this a joke, or are you serious?

I'm pretty sure Apiks' crown was the only artifact I crushed. There was also some normal armor and a bin.I thought you smashed some other artifacts too. Oh well.
So there is no Rosywander. Which means that everything about it is just Chu hallucinating.But it's a collective hallucination, which means it can influence people without actually having way to be removed, or destroyed. This is worse than if it actually existed, as you could get rid of it if it existed, but a collective hallucination can remain forever.
Ok, problem solved.

EDIT2: Clinton is multiplying.
It's not. My character is getting the shit beat out of him. Dealing a helluva lot more, but when you only have a shield, and no weapon, you can't exactly get an edge over 102 enemy combatants. Presently Apik's squad is taking the scenic route.EDIT: Congress showed up. This'll take a bit to sort out.That doesn't sound good.
EDIT2: Clinton is multiplying.
Are you fighting 102 politicians singlehandedly with just a shield?Presently it's more like six, as those were the only one's willing to jump off a cliff to follow my character when he was thrown over it. If you think dodging hail is bad, how about dodging raining politicians.
Did they drown too?Nope, they've crawled up out of the water and now are murdering the livestock.
Did you assign him to the stripper squad?No, I didn't.
Nice writing. Red Hammer is female though.Fixed.
Isn't it Arx's turn? Thanks for the updates, Carefulrogue.Well ain't that a glaring error. I don't know if Arx has a character, and I certainly didn't focus on him if I did. I don't know how to correct it, too tired.
I can pick this up on the 14th, possibly the evening of the 13th, because that's when my exams finish. I should have lots of time to play after that, though!
Disappointingly, I don't think I can finish my turn in a reasonable timeframe. :/ Sorry guys, I thought I'd have time but I don't and it'll be a chore if I make myself do it. And no-one likes forced writing.
I'll definitely have time next week, but not at the moment.
I shall call it.... Project !!PURITY!!.

Shall I delay your turn by a week in such a case? I finally have time to dedicate to the fortress so it'd be me.
Finaly! somebody noticed.I shall call it.... Project !!PURITY!!.
Wait... was this a Fallout reference? How did I miss that?
I forget if someone had already mentioned it or if you told me in Discord, but I recall looking it up as it applies to the Fallout games.Finaly! somebody noticed.I shall call it.... Project !!PURITY!!.

Forumechs.XD Sounds about right.
I guess I can? I'm hella sick right now, but we'll see.
i am this thread's greatest shadow-stalking fanThen you should likely remove any mention of thanking Armok.
Here's a quick run-down: crowns are evil, so is Pikachu's sword, we're in a separate universe from the first three Necrothreat games, Sprin got pulled by Apiks into the current universe (but is not nearly as kill-happy, I think), Gwolfski is the new Sprin, we've got a small pantheon's worth of new gods (namely, Afer, Masea, and Omer), and also, Forumechs.You forgot magic.

True, they did start acknowledging the magic recently.Here's a quick run-down: crowns are evil, so is Pikachu's sword, we're in a separate universe from the first three Necrothreat games, Sprin got pulled by Apiks into the current universe (but is not nearly as kill-happy, I think), Gwolfski is the new Sprin, we've got a small pantheon's worth of new gods (namely, Afer, Masea, and Omer), and also, Forumechs.You forgot magic.
An influx of trollfaces, seemingly. Many of which have been caged, but I suspect they have overwhelmed the traps. I can't tell yet, though...While you can tame and butcher trollfaces, don't, because they are sentient and their meat is inedible.
Edit: Oooh, this might get messy. I hope that lever isn't too important...
But you can use them as guards. Do we have enough non-troll face guards?An influx of trollfaces, seemingly. Many of which have been caged, but I suspect they have overwhelmed the traps.

Cool, fencing. Do well? My sister was somewhat obsessed with it back in her university days.
So about that file...
More... uh... thematic I'd say.Yep, he's the original one! I do think he perished in Taloniswolf's turn due to a ghostly cheesemaker, but that save didn't end up being used in the long run due to corruption (?)
Also I don't think I've ever had a forumite survive for so long that they keep doing new ingame achievements. Also, is this Lord_lemonpie the original one? He did not die?
FINALLY! Thank you Lord Lemonpie.What do you mean, finally? I forumited you at the end of my turn! I think this is the second Quill.
...what in hell caused Doren to start hoarding dress armor?Fair question. I've never seen such behavior before.
Someone just booked a one way trip to prison.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I do really love your updates, Lemonpie. It's a shame you couldn't find time to play more. Is the game really slow?Yep, on my shitty PC it is at least. I've only been able to play like 3-4 months. Still working on it though.
Thanks for doing another turn, Lemonpie. The writing was good.
Are you taking over now, Apiks?
Wait. Lemon pie, you said Doren was wielding the legendary Rosywander? Is Doren the host of Rosyander? In other words, my forumite?I'd think so.
I need those artifacts you’ve hidden.You suck.
I need those artifacts you’ve hidden.You suck.
Well, yes, I noticed that part.I need those artifacts you’ve hidden.You suck.
Just for the record, they don't include the crown. That one did get purged.
No offense, Apiks, but that wasn't the characterization of Rosywander I was intending myself. Why is Rosywander transforming into a black animalistic head? Why are his host's eyes glazed over, and empty? Rosywander corrupts, he doesn't control. The host's eyes should look determined, as Rosywander makes his host determined to achieve its goals without thinking of consequences. It is a mutually beneficial agreement. Rosywander may have his own goals, but he allows his host to achieve its own goals. I am fine with the way Rosywander spoke, although he rarely speaks to any but his host. I am fine with Rosywander and his host Doren reaching an agreement with Apiks.Please recall that Apiks is not 100% sane and may not be perceiving reality the way that it actually is.

Yeah, you are right Glass. Who is to say that Rosywander was even really there? The bone crown IS really smashed?

Rosywander is an adamantium luckblade. He doesn't really need another special ability.snip
I bring your non-existent sword back and even give it a special power and this is the thanks I get.
smh
I fixed the empty glazed eyes in it. The talking to Apiks and animalistic head (special power) are staying though. Also, I can't know what every single person expects their character to be. I just do the best estimation I can that would make for a fun story.

Maybe a list of how people want their character to be portrayed should be in the OP.
You... don't actually know about the Orchestra. It's somewhere down below Necrothreat proper. It's still flooded from when Gwolfski messed up. There wouldn't have been a way for you to learn of its existence.
...oh yeah. I forgot about that.You... don't actually know about the Orchestra. It's somewhere down below Necrothreat proper. It's still flooded from when Gwolfski messed up. There wouldn't have been a way for you to learn of its existence.
I know it exists since the first iteration was built on my orders if you recall. I just have no clue where it is, what it is and who is associated with it.
+ my character has been through basically every overseer so far, and from the looks of the logs, as a trusted advisor. I'm pretty sure Apiks would know.I think only potentially Sprin could have learned of it, as he was the only overseer before the thing got flooded.

I can't recall any time where Erin or any of his associates have actually interfered with the fortress with the Orchestra, besides when we played Just Cause 3 (which was retconned).
Eh, no, because I'm the guy who controls what the Orchestra and its projections have been doing, and at most, people in the fort would have occasionally heard weird music playing at weird times. All the permanent residents down there have just been experimenting.I can't recall any time where Erin or any of his associates have actually interfered with the fortress with the Orchestra, besides when we played Just Cause 3 (which was retconned).

More like, I am the state. Working against me is working against Necrothreat.
Was the away party present when the usurpation occurred?
Do remember my efforts to expand the military were thwarted by two invasions. Absolutely nothing I could do when naked formites were wandering the battlefield looking for equipment.Was the away party present when the usurpation occurred?
Yes. I thought the military would be more than 6 people, meaning they'd pose a threat... but no, not really.

I presume that one of those 3 is Nox?There was Apiks with his legendary chainsaw, myself, with a legendary chainsaw (and bronze shield), the third, I'm not sure.
I presume that one of those 3 is Nox?
...huh.
I need a new forumite, then.
Make me the guy who makes all the trap components. We need more traps.
...why did Nox's death never get mentioned? The last I heard of him was when EP mentioned he got attached to his hammer. That was six turns ago.
Do you think you could figure out whose turn it was when he died?
Somebody remind me to execute him when I get a turn on the grounds of treason.

All said and done, I do have a question towards you, Lemonpie.I'd love to brag and say yes, but nope. Just designated an image with a specific animal on it for each tile. Tedious by itself, but at least it's doable.
Did you really engrave the temple the hard way, carving a track every time it didn't grant you the letter you wanted? I'm finding it incredibly tedious to do in my turn, with three times less letters than yours.

I haven't actually made the improved versions, I just can. What castes should they have? I think the current one could be called a Seigebreaker-class or something like that.Why would they be Siegebreaker class? Would you mind explaining? (I don't recall much of the originals)
Make the Learnmouths really durable, then, and have abilities to draw opponents' aggro toward them. I'm pretty sure we need a breeding caste in order for them to continue existing in the game, I think, without going extinct. What would a generic drone caste do? If they could haul, that'd be nice.
Hey, may I another turn.
Is it just me, or was Apiks like a more evil version of Vetinari from Discworld in that post?
Got it.
Who was Scoot, by the way? I have no recollection of them. They new?
Making crowns until you get a masterwork doesn't help the magic. The simple fact that you're mass producing them weakens any magic that you may imbue into any one of them.
I can make more crowns, and nobody can stop me.
Yes, you're making more crowns. But the first was an Artifact, created for its purpose. Now you're just making magic items, and the magic will be weaker for it. The magic's power is affected by how much you care; you can't really care about that many bone crowns.Making crowns until you get a masterwork doesn't help the magic. The simple fact that you're mass producing them weakens any magic that you may imbue into any one of them.
That's not how either quality or magic works and I don't care what excuses you make up. You're just bitter that I can make more crowns, and nobody can stop me.

In short, lots of questionable decisions are in the fortress.It's a succession fort, Apiks.
I'm sad that i never spent the time to read necrothreat this summer, and I won't have rnough time to play my turn cause school and work (and wouldn't be able to do a good write anyway due to not having read most of IV). :(
I hope you're all doing well and enjoying life. Thank you for keeping Necrothreat alive. Keep being awesome :)
Let's also not forget I spent the latter half of my first turn bunkering in the "self contained" fort, terrified of the troll/gamer siege with our nonexistent military.In short, lots of questionable decisions are in the fortress.It's a succession fort, Apiks.

That said: you have completely destroyed the rhyme that the cathedral had. Now that poem praising you just sounds dumb, rather than actually being something anyone would like.I figured that was intentional/in character.
I managed to improve the FPS by roughly 12 by setting a lot of traffic zones. In addition I managed to grind past the new year.Check to ensure you don't have burrows active, or if you do, that the offending regions are covered.
However I appear to have encountered a problem I'm uncertain of how to deal with. The miners refuse to work on specific walls, or you might say, parts of designated mining locations. They mine everything else, but stuff around the problematic area. It's happened on two different floors in multiple different rooms and I have no clue how to fix it. I tried changing the priority but that seems to be to no avail, and I'm certain the Miners aren't just busy since they're idle on the unit screen.

I think that may be it, considering how straight the problem areas are.That's the issue then.
Dude, how long has your turn been? I'm pretty sure you've gone past a week, with more extra time spent than your story posts would allow.
I picked a good dwarf when I chose Red Hammer. I'm surprised she's lived this long.Eh, there was singular mistake during my last turn that nearly ended the fortress. That time everyone died. Except for a single kid. I only barely caught the game in time to scum...
Wait, what happened that destroyed the fort?I unpaused when a Forgotten beast showed up. The game was running so bloody slowly when I left, and I when I came back hours later, the fort was a single child away from destruction. Turns out, there was a way into the fortress. And because I have only the vaguest of ideas where our cavern entrances are, I don't know how to seal them off as well as I perhaps should.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep disasters, since the new version is approaching and turn requests are thinning out?
I'm gonna be honest, I was using liquids to put out flaming dwarves during the lazorshark invasion.
Yep. I would prefer striking with shields to just endless blocking, dodging, and parrying.I'm gonna be honest, I was using liquids to put out flaming dwarves during the lazorshark invasion.
Yes, I did think about forcing a fight into water, but it wasn't viable.
Besides, the fire isn't the problem most of the time. The forumites, in fact, managed to survive for an impressive amount of time simply by dodging, even the recruits. The problem was the smoke.
All those times you hear villains say "you won't get anywhere just by running" turned out to be true.
So yeah, when fighting fire either fight in a large area or bring ranged fighters.Couldn't you put down floors on the on the caverns, so there is nothing to burn? You just cover a number of squares from the cavern entrance.
We always reach a point where there is a lack of new turn requests, but that is often short-lived. I'm certain people will keep requesting turns.Speaking of, I'd like a second turn.

If I can figure out a way of doing so, can I make one of the artifacts a sword named "Rosywander"?
Halfway through turn, making an update now.Now someone else understands my pain.
....
Dratted politicians.
Interesting I have a ghost flitting about. Is my character "Rogue" still alive?
There were an awful lot of politicians. We're lucky there was a way to divide and conquer.Eh, if Apiks had his chainsaw, still had both legs, and a trusty shield, my bets go to Apiks.
You would have died.
Yea, that watery pit is open to the sky.
You people do know High Lords can fly, right?
As for carefulrogue taking them, it's quite probable that he was simply good at dodging. How many did he kill?1. I had only a shield, and a bit of civilian armor. The army came out of nowhere while I was doing cleanup after the Gamer Ambushes. After that kill though, I kept backing up until I was knocked into that pit you started walling off. One of those bodies is one my character iterations.
Yea, that watery pit is open to the sky.
You people do know High Lords can fly, right?
Yes, I happen to be intimately acquainted with the mod.
Good thing we're talking about politicians.
I hope the politicians aren't too weak. Should I make them stronger next time?
Damn Dwarfy, nice update. I was listening to a video game ending theme and it really fit. I felt feelings.
What game?I listen to a lot of weird stuff. Silence at the End of the Festival (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQLV1rPJX5s)

Is this before or after your second turn? The beginning indicates that it's during or after my turn.It's the yet unwritten end of my second turn. After the defeat of the vomit fb a few things still happened. It isn't much and it won't change anything for the story though.

This is a bit of a problem, since I am uncertain where to place it in the OP. Placing it properly during your turn would create a problem with the beginning of your post. Placing it during Th4DwArfY1's turn may also be confusing for the reader though.

Shall I still post the coming late update(s) in here? Lost pages being found fit in with the active story, so that shouldn't be a problem, and I fear they'll remain unread if I just edit my post from twenty pages ago.
Yea, monsieur Lemon, your story line gets slightly darker in my turn.I know ;_;
“Yes, ma.”
Uh, did the Queen of Masons both harm, and heal Lemonpie?
Its good to be back. I'd say great turn, but you dropped me off in the middle of... "Something" >:(I have no idea what you mean.
Hmm? What? He's back you say? Who's back? Oh shit, really? The OG Guardian of Necrothreat is back!I think in-story Apiks is about to have his butt kicked.

All my characters are already dead. I play ghosts. :Duh... Apiks, my in-story characters are sufficiently loyal to you. However, they don't particularly want to be destroyed, since if anyone knows how to destroy an adamantium sword, it is Highmax, so they are going on a, uh... "Mission" out of the fort. Hope your death isn't too painful!
Traitors, the lot of you!Oh, no. We're the loyalists. You're the traitor.
:)Gives us something to look forward too.
A post a day sounds great, mate.
I take a break in my chambers for a bit and you can't even kill a single troll bare-handed.Well, its actually a Troll VAMPIRE, but you know, details
Smh
:P
Again, sorry for the delay, but when your army leaves the fort to pick up junk on the ground to put on, ignoring their impending doom,then something is very wrongWelcome to my world.
You, uh, know that burrows are a thing, right? I consciously let them go out to get the armour outside because there were absolutely no threats during my turn.That's the thing. I set the burrows and they ignored it. It acknowledged it because of the hundreds of messages I got, but they didn't really care.
Yeah, when I found out Highmax was coming back, this is not what I was picturing. Naked soldiers did not figure in the picture.That's what I thought when I hoped to put my character in charge of a squad of noobies. Instead, he stripped naked except for his shield, and threw away his artifact chainsaw, before strolling out of the fortress, only to run into a bunch of politicians. Then he fell three stories and was killed while struggling to get out of the water of the mysterious pit that exists for no good reason.
Welcome to fucking dwarf fortress! Hope you like stupidity!And the dwarves are crazy too!
Yeah, when I found out Highmax was coming back, this is not what I was picturing.

Yes, Forumechs are still planned. I will also give the dinosaurs lasers.
What are we going to do with this fort when the new update is released?
I have no idea what you are talking about. Nope.You'd think after the third time dealing with an aquifer and punching multiple holes into it, he would've mastered it by now...
Apiks is alive.Only the Queen of Masons has fallen. Apiks didn't even show up to the fight funnily enough though. Probably still brooding :P
*facepalm*Apiks relieved the Queen of Masons of her duty.
I am not the most attentive person. I thought that Apiks had taken the name "Queen of Masons", and I've thought that for... a while by now. Not sure how that happened. :-\
-Snip-
Awfully, uh, nice thing to do to the person who broke your spine, Lemonpie. You're truly a man of Omer.He can pull a miracle like in one of my other forts where a guy was mangled to death and managed to heal fully from several spinal injuries.
So, um, did you fix that spine for the ceremony or?

She fought Lemonpie presumably on Apiks' orders, and cared tenderly afterwards.Awfully, uh, nice thing to do to the person who broke your spine, Lemonpie.

I'm more surprised Lemonpie still likes her after she beat his ass up. Maybe he didn't see that she beat him up.
Funny, that, I personally thought it was on Armok's orders, especially considering in an earlier post of Th4DwArfY1 Apiks was all chummy with Lemonpie.Ik might've misunderstood then. But Armok or Apiks, she probably wouldn't be able to resist either's commands.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163193.msg7388325#msg7388325That will be a job for a far flung future Necrothreat generation. I've noticed since II that Apiks, BFEL, and the others likes really old threads.
One day. We need to remember this thread.

Why are the spoilers empty? Also, it isn't clear, did Highmax pick up Rosywander?No, but I can't find the named sword anywhere for Doren to pick it up.
DAMNIT LEMONPIE AND PIKACHU YOU JUST MADE IT LESS NECROABLE.In my defense, I only did it after Lemonpie did, and it was on the same day, so I didn't alter the necrobility of the thread.
Hey, if anyone notices a dwarf with the dream of conquring the world, could you please earmark it for Rosywander's next host in case of Doren's death?First part: he can still percieve them as soulless.
Doren's goal of creating a masterwork isn't very useful, storywise.
Oh, and if anyone else is going to post a battle of theirs with Rosywander, could you at least remember that Rosywander doesn't make his hosts soulless, or anything like that? He can take complete control if he needs to, but mostly he just lets his hosts progress on their goals, while he progresses on his.
He grants his host the power to complete their goals, and in return, he gets their arm( not literally).
So, it is closer to a Deal With The Devil than a Demonic Possesion, though even less, as a Deal With The Devil would probably end with your soul in its possession, while Rosywander lets his former hosts be (unless they betrayed him).DAMNIT LEMONPIE AND PIKACHU YOU JUST MADE IT LESS NECROABLE.In my defense, I only did it after Lemonpie did, and it was on the same day, so I didn't alter the necrobility of the thread.
Considering Highmax is a Legendary Swordsmite, and Rosywander grants the wielder power, I assumed Rosywander would have to force itself into the right places to block against Highmax and possibly other strong enemies. Which is why it was jerky in movement. Think of it an aimbot but for blocking.If you keep posting in the chunks you've been at, you can earn yourself another day. I'm happy to wait.
I THINK its my last day today, so I'll get the save ready. Sad that the lag + crashing + extra work hours got in the way of getting past four months.

I uploaded the save to DFFD. (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13118)Because that'll put a hole in the roof again. Thanks by the way
Why shouldn't the tree be cut down?
You're aware I'm no friend of Apiks, right? This'll be... difficult, to explain.You beat two people for mandates/lawbreaking that Apiks was the 'victim' of in the span of the four months you were the captain of the guard. Thought I'd make it seem you were following him, if only to keep him off your back
I smell a double agent in our midst, Overseer.Oh, I wonder what gave you that impression.
I set them to be trained so we can butcher them. Forgot to tell you.
Whoops
That's a very good point.I set them to be trained so we can butcher them. Forgot to tell you.

You're forgiven.
After all, you have no memory :P

Could someone also explain to me why it appears the weapons traps I placed down there didn't seem to trigger?
Maybe the trollfaces overwhelmed the traps? That happened to Arx.
Snipped- There was Poetry here.
Did you... You really did.Keep in mind I'll return... Somehow. I don't really know what to do this time around, because my character is getting tired of taking over other forumites.
Good thing your character is dead. I'd think Apiks would have something to say about your irresponsible destruction of the military. :'(
...do I have a living forumite right now? I'm not sure.
Am I still alive?What was the last one you had named?
If not, redorf me.
Alright then....do I have a living forumite right now? I'm not sure.
You most definitely do not.
The real question is how the blazes is Apiks still alive. I've truly never had a named forumite survive this long.*Confetti*

Oh god... Is this gonna be like Necrothreat III where to avoid all catastrophes, we HAVE to keep Apiks alive!?Guys, guys, calm down, we need to test this scientifically.

For me to do this, we'd have to ignore the Politicians that show up every damn Spring/early Summer to specifically hunt down my character.Oh god...

Someone, execute Apiks at the very start of your turn. If nothing bad happens, it's all fine. If everything goes to shit, people will likely scream at you.
Not much difference from a normal turn.
How many times do I have to tell you? Tell them you've already cast your vote, or they'll just keep coming after you.There are deeper ironies here, than this. Also, even if you do cast it, they don't stop. Trust me on that.
Otherwise they get you every election season.
You're asking how a menacing artifact-grade evil sword can see you. Really?Fair point.
Thursday, you sure?
Alright, just wanted to check.Thursday, you sure?
Your turn started on the 8th of October. Your first week period ended on the 15th. You have made four posts that I'd say qualify for the extra day. That puts you at 19th of October which is this Thursday.
I'll be able to get the save no earlier than Tuesday. Sorry.
Sosasbakust? What's that?Rogue's chainsaw
Absolutely mesmerizing, Th4DwArfY1. I dare say it's one of your best poems yet. It's been a pleasing sight to see you improve over the years.
Now let us see whether the homicidal sword will leave his murderous tendencies, or concentrate them towards a different enemy.
7th Galena.You and rogue never freed her!?
There was a troll in the topmost level of the underground. Monom ran to get me there, but it was already killed by the Diamond League. Damn it. Now we have EVEN more trash. We only have so many janitors.
11th Galena.
You remember that Catten guy in the cage? Yeah, she is now totally stark raving mad about it. In the cage she stays.

A politician has infiltrated the fort! Evan Mcmullin had shot a hauler's arm off, and cut out her guts.
Fortunately, a soldier under my, and Monom's command soon arrived, but now there is even more garbage.
17th Limestone.
My soldiers believe they have found Carefulrogue's lair. Really, if he wanted it a secret, he shouldn't have put up a sign saying "Rogue's Library".
Unfortunately, he isn't there. Where are you going run now, Carefulrogue? I am soon going to have a 'slab' built that literally has your name on it.
I wrote all that, and now it disappears into smoke...
Gwolfski, make sure to get Apiks food before he starves to death. I may have needed to imprison him for story reasons, but that doesn't mean I want to actually be his cause of death.
Sure. I still go out of my way to assign the justice cases to the madman with a crown. All of those I can that is.You're the lawman. You just do as he asks anyway.
Write up this evening.Typical.

Lord_lemonpie's meme birds ideaSpeaking of which, I've got raws for several birds lying around for quite some time. Haven't got to the angry birds yet though, and I don't think I will, so feel free to meddle with it yourself.
Wait a second... Lolcats can speak? Doesn't that mean we can't eat them? Also Gwolfski, I sent the save with the caverns walled off. Why did you unwall them?
Those would be helpful, thanks.It's been quite some time since i worked on this, so idk what exactly is and isn't finished, but here's what I have

Bug fixes. We like our game destroying issues to be features, not bugs.That, and I believe it was Apiks that said we'll be start V on the new version. So we have a ways to go.

Edit: I just looked. Did no one else step up for a turn after? Or are we at the point where we have to cycle again?
I would, but once again it's exam season.Yeah, same.
Is it Highmax's turn?Apiks contacted me, so I guess I'm stepping up. Downloading the save so I can try and find out what the hell Gwolfski is trying to pull ???
I'll have you know I am a servant to nobody's whims.Apiks, you practically are Ur.
The whole point of Apiks is to wage war against the gods, good or bad. :'(
I'd enjoy having an overseer that wasn't pledged to one of the gods that we're specifically meant to oppose. ._.I always tried to destroy as much magic and chaos as I could during my turns.
You did take a turn, TheFlame52. Your achievements I think included making an arena?Not this fort, but the last one.
How's the FPS?I had ~12
Also, I'll finally be able to take a real turn again soon, so I'd like a spot on the waitlist.
On an unrelated note, who are the "good" and "bad" guys in this fort from the perspective of the dwarves?
Also boo, something's amiss so it always must be Apiks' fault. You give me too much credit.
Carefulrogue, you have cracked the code to life itself.Sigged
Lemonpie can't lean on a cane. He is a quadriplegic.FUCKING BUGS.
Also, seriously? That temple just got cleaned up.
Also, Carefulrogue, it looks like it only checks if Gwolfski is alive, if Apiks is alive, but not close to the event. It should check if he is alive if Apiks is dead, as well.
Undead in the offices? Never noticed.Clerks.
Just a few spelling corrections for your post, Highmax.Dagnabit I didn't even notice that.
"Carefulrouge" should probably be "Carefulrogue", unless he is really careful with his makeup.
"scholars scholars" should be "scholars".

Don't remember if the first name matches. No fourmites died on my turn surprisingly. I guess the Queen of Masons was death enough :P
EDIT2: And yes, this entry means I want Erin Quill re-forumited.
Red Hammer's JournalRed Hammer: As soon as I laid eyes on that scepter, I knew I should destroy it. But, for whatever reason, I didn't. I won't make that mistake again.
I forgot to mention it, but one of our woodcrafters is having a strange mood. We had to cut her some gems, but she's working now.
...
The woodcrafter made a goblin-cap scepter. It's pretty nice. There's a picture of goblins fighting forumites on it.
Also: A note on Carefulrogue statues.I only ordered up thirty... I think.
They're everywhere.
You know if I figure out a way to transport them quickly I'm making them our meats-- I mean first line of defense, right?Did I not say that everyone has their place? ;D
Mind the blood and body parts I left in there :PAgain?!
What precisely did you expect? I open the gates for half a second, and instantly I get mobbed by political parties giving us paper cuts and wacking us over the heads with flagpoles. If there is any point in this fortress we've had the time to clean up all the blood, gore, more blood, and colorful gore, it was quickly erased in the second we let out a breath of relief.Mind the blood and body parts I left in there :PAgain?!
I left the fort cleaner than I got it, but there was some DFhack involved in that.Clearly you yet out your breath after passing on the save.

Yikes, the Highpriest turned grim while we weren't looking.In true Necrothreat fashion. He's still a good guy though. Well, except for when he's not.
I recall he said he was sick when I last heard from him. Given how awful I am right now, I get him not really stepping up right away. Rather be at your peak and make quality content than be subpar and make subparMy bad then.
Sorry if this makes assumptions about Lemonpie he doesn't want. Consider it fanfic and not canon.Don't worry about it, I love it! I'll consider it canon if it's okay with you :P
Are you saying we'll finally get the hallways scrubbed clean? Damn miracle that'd be.I have marked several thousand miscellaneous body parts and clothes for dumping.
I have marked several thousand miscellaneous body parts and clothes for dumping.
In Apiks' room.Well, there are quite a few in there, but mostly on the surface and in the other refuse stockpile. DFhack's advanced stocks screen tells me there are 4300 items marked for dumping. I think most of those are large clothes.
I don't think Apiks would be opposed to the Red Hammer becoming overseer as long as, you know, they don't fight.Well, red hammer served apiks, so...
*Th4DwArfY1 wonders why Redhammer broke his quarterstaff*I atom-smashed the scepter in game. I will do the same to all the artifacts I destroy this turn. I left your chainsaw where it was, though.
*Shrugs and picks up his sceptre from where he left it while sparring.*
I figure Apiks will stay king, but there will be a few clashes. Namely, Red Hammer throwing away all the skeletons Apiks likes.I don't think Apiks would be opposed to the Red Hammer becoming overseer as long as, you know, they don't fight.Well, red hammer served apiks, so...
named weaponsAnd now I'm just thinking of Asax and giving weapons hundreds of names ._.
Are you saying we'll finally get the hallways scrubbed clean? Damn miracle that'd be.I did plan at one point to get that done. I believe that was before I sallied out the army to deal with another politician army (and got myself, two other named forumites, and a half dozen military members killed. Whoops.) Given the army lay in shreds, with a fresh pile of blood and gore everywhere, I gave up. I also tend to horde everything, to make bolts, crafts, and selling goods, so that's why there isn't an efficient clean up of the waste. Ever.
- Bearbane has been moved into the temple. He prays to his god and trains. I may haul him out against a deadly FB or something.Together with Lemonpie? Do they fight when in bear form or are they at peace?

Not a single overseer made any effort to clean up the mess? I am pretty sure I threw away at least a hundred stuff on my last turn, and that's just a conservative estimate. I spent 60% of my turn trying to throw away as much junk as I could.
There is just a lot of junk, and not enough janitors.
EDIT:Of course, to get this way, probably someone shirked their cleaning duty.
Most of my first turns consisted of me trying to clean as many corpses/potential future enemies from the surface as possible.
It's actually been too long since we had a flood of undead. I do not say that lightly.
I recall trying to clear away lots of debris during my turn... as well as actually fixing the hideous thing you guys called stockpile.Fair enough. I've been using autodump and fastdwarf because I'm a filthy cheater. Otherwise it would be a losing battle against the junk, as you get 500+ items per siege.
So if everyone is trying to fix the problem, who is causing it?
Not to worry. I fortified the surface more than it already was. As an aside, I was planning to use at least some of that overland space as farmland.Oh good, once Red Hammer finishes cleaning the canvas, I'll get started on that as I hope to create a veritable citadel on the surface.
38 ambushes laterThis made me chuckle. Feel my pain. All of it.
Lemonpie had only heard the news a few hours after the shutdown, when his remaining followers came down for guidance. He laughed. A memory worth preserving. Good thing he was a legendary engraver.
Wait is he literally caged within the cathedral? I thought he was just locked inside the Cathedral.Lemonpie had only heard the news a few hours after the shutdown, when his remaining followers came down for guidance. He laughed. A memory worth preserving. Good thing he was a legendary engraver.

Yeah, he would be starting at dabbling and it's early winter.

It wouldn't be intentional, but given the fact politics follows me everywhere (and I look for it too) I don't think you'd enjoy getting beat to death with a flagstaff.At worst, just throw me in reserves for in case they DO get in, so last line stuff. We'd be dead if they got that far anyway :P

It would be sacrilege for Highmax to not be in the army, but if it means Rogue doesn't actively try and kill me because of that, then I'll wait

Slightly my fault. I may have recruited more to fill in the ominous holes in the squads.A fortress with three enemy races, one of which shoots fire, can't have too many soldiers. I've done a bit of recruiting myself.

Well, this is Necrothreat.
Personally, I'd ride that number from 35 to 50, but a reminder, I schedule them so about 1/4 up to 1/3 of the army is rotated out every season so we don't get bad thoughts. If no one screwed up the military since my turn, that number will be bigger cause I did do a huge schedule overhaul.1. They totally did, everyone is on duty 24/7.
Danger room aside, in seven turns (four if every turn spans a full year), raw recruits can be turned into at least master rank, if not full legendary, if left alone for long enough and put into sparring pairs.
TheFlame52, why did you make the military wear only armor? That just means they are going to have no extra protection from clothing.They weren't wearing their armor at all. Given one or the other, I choose armor.
I tend to train the entire adult population for three months out of a year, on rotation. This allows me to have 150 slightly competent meatshields when the time comes for a fight. Armor tends to be rare though in those cases.There's a reason why my metal industry is always absurd in my forts. About 1/3rd at minimum is enlisted into the army, with about 10 or more (depends on how lucky I am with getting the smiths) metal workers on armor and weapon making duty on 8 forges while 12-15 chumps of any skill puke up bars on about one furnace per chump. Anything not masterwork gets melted down, and I always forge in rotation of armor, so I tend to build full suits at a time. Its always regular iron at best, but working in tandem with the pig tail industry I tend to start on VERY early (I end up planting them first, alongside plump helmets), I end up having a solid set of armor for everyone in my army within the year, possibly two years if I have less than adequate forge workers.
What world settings are you using?Generally I don't touch them, besides setting the world to small/medium. Sometimes I crank up the materials, but not all that much.
Don't set mineral frequency to the max. Iirc it makes it hard to find iron.Actually it was the complete opposite. I found iron. Lots of it. There just wasn't a grain of flux anywhere.
I love getting marble. Pretty colour, good flux, good value.I tend to have stockpiles dedicated to just marble if I get enough of the stuff. I see why Greece and Rome loved it so much :P
You realise you can search the map for sites with flux using the search feature?I wouldn't make the claim in certain terms without checking. Not a single trade caravan had any of the flux materials as they show up in the wiki. It was a good spot too, ignoring the lag problems of falling water.
I know I'm sounding annoying about this, but is Highmax enlisted into the army yet or is he deemed still too weak?I can throw him in. I left off with the troll hordes closing in, and I expect a politician raid a few hours after I deal with this attack. Up to you.
I like how resigned Carefulrogue is about the politicians.Ever seen a quiet day in the news? I can think of a couple of contenders, but they weren't quiet for different reasons.
"Yep, in a few days or so Donald Trump, Hillary, and the rest are gonna come to my house and try to personally murder me. Just like always."
I want a turn or to be dorfed pls for !!SCIENCE!!Apiks'll add you to the list. In the present context, you also used the wrong word. What sort of character. I'll add you after the culling.
"Yep, in a few days or so Donald Trump, Hillary, and the rest are gonna come to my house and try to personally murder me. Just like always."you sound like Forrest Gump.
Oh yeah, could you keep Red Hammer out of combat until she's healed? When I passed off the save she had like two functioning limbs....
For the record, the only reason Monom was standing over Red Hammer when she died, was because I saw she started to lose the battle. It seems she just passed away from exhaustion.
@Th4DwArfy1 It was beer.

Are the updates for this archived anywhere? It looked like the first few pages were all garbage. and dead links.

Could you perchance be talking about this (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=19308.msg7277328#msg7277328) which is also on the first page?
Just open up the Cycles (that we use so the post doesn't get cluttered) and you'll see every fort update.
We were experiencing a golden age where we've started expanding outwards and making outside fortifications.Actually it wasn't politicians. It was merely the damnable fire-breathers one of you fellas programmed in.
Then again that might be over with the recent politician attack.
When can I start? Haven't got the sacred message yet.
And despite all this, the only undead we have has been locked in up a room in someone's office, somewhereIt's a zombie panda brought back by the high lord necrothreader that attacked very early in the fort. It killed TheFlame52.
A vote, who wants to kill it to see if we can summon the zombie hordes? To hell with FPS concerns, we're far past that.And despite all this, the only undead we have has been locked in up a room in someone's office, somewhereIt's a zombie panda brought back by the high lord necrothreader that attacked very early in the fort. It killed TheFlame52.
I vote against! That panda is our slavering, manic mascot!We have a mascot?
I propose a new vote: Initiate Freddy Fazbear 'the Friendly Undead Panda Mascot of Necrothreat' into the Hall of Fame.i second the motion.
Lol, I approve.I propose a new vote: Initiate Freddy Fazbear 'the Friendly Undead Panda Mascot of Necrothreat' into the Hall of Fame.i second the motion.
Negative. I'll change it to positive if we sacrifice it though.Lol, I approve.I propose a new vote: Initiate Freddy Fazbear 'the Friendly Undead Panda Mascot of Necrothreat' into the Hall of Fame.i second the motion.

Since the artifact release, have we sent any raids to the politicians? I'd love it if we had a fund-raiser at their place for once.
That moment when I sent Apiks on a mission to find his bone crown, only to realise I'd used the wrong version of DF and had to restart.Since the artifact release, have we sent any raids to the politicians? I'd love it if we had a fund-raiser at their place for once.
We sent one but then realized that we're playing on an older version from before the artifact release and that it might not work right and break the save.
Sorry mate. Artifact millstones can still be destroyed by werebeasts. I've done tests.:(
If there's anyone in need of (re)forumiting, now's the perfect time. We have an ungodly amount of residents yet we're running dangerously low on named ones.
Are there any living forumites associated with me?I'm unsure with whom Damien is associated, so if he's yours there is.
...I searched for the name "Damien", and I don't see anyone having asked for a character with that name. That, I'll take them. I'll have something written up about them sometime this weekend, I hope.If I remember correctly, Damien was a moody child I gave a nickname to, to make sure I didn't murder, since he was legendarily skilled.
Hm, yes, I judge Bearpocalypse to be a sufficiently awesome way for the fort to go down.
Slaves to Bear: God of BearsThis one's going straight into the sigtext.
Chapter II: Bear Fortress
It's also high time for you to be finishing your turn, Lemonpie. Any progress on that end?Had a very intense week so didn't get to finishing writing everything. I've got a regular update coming and I'll need to get some kind of final post going. Expect the save later tonight or tomorrow!
Like it says in the rules the version we're using of Dwarf Fortress is 43.05 which you can get from here. (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/older_versions.html)Thank you Apiks, didn't know where to download the older version from. I have the save up and working, I'll be playing for fun, but if you would like me to pickup the story I would be more than glad to if no one takes up the save
.... Oh, fine. I'll take a turn.
Will it be the last one of this fortress? If so, I'll have to plan something appropriately deadly.
Destroy every coffin and slab. Death by angry ghosts.That, and the werebear demons.
Just appoint the strongest dwarf in the fort as captain of the guard or whatever forumite equivalent. They'll cave the skulls of everyone who's upset. It worked in Breadbowl.He's not the strongest, but CarefulRogue is pretty good at what he does
Hello. May I please by forumited?As soon as I boot it up, you're in. Any preferences?
Never thought I'd see the day we push back against the Necrothreaders and bring the fight to them. Brings a tear to my eye.I had to make something happen for an off-shoot of noticing I can assault the Necrothreaders. Still scared of that book though... Thinking I may make the library citizens only so it doesn't leave our hall. I'm also tempted to go off on a crusade to purge any other traces of Necrothreaders from the land, but the politicians are a bigger threat having a huge 3000+ population retreat nearby. If we succeed, it becomes the next Glidesnarls. If we fail, then I'll be very surprised. I have no doubt our soldiers will be able to handle it, but I'm worried that they might siege the place for a month
I... Have kept away from this thread for the most part, since a lot has happened, and I lost track of it a long time ago. I’m going to re-read every single Necrothreat thread, and come back once I’ve gotten everything under my belt again. I’ll try to get involved, then.The PDFs Apiks made to at least help you "cut out the fat" so to speak
See you in... Six years should do it.
Also, I second the vote for Monom's Hall of Fame entrance. A third should probably be enough to determine it? Also, I'd vote Apiks the Bone King in. His longevity, his number of kills... and let's face it, his awesome character. For Necrothreat!I agree. The unfortunate part is we need to make Apiks less badass in future forts or the Hall of Fame will just be the Hall of Apiks :P
Also, downloaded save. May Omer of Old have mercy on our souls.
I'm just proud to have been the only one from Necrothreat III to get into the Hall of Fame.I feel that's because people in recent years have forgotten about it. I only remember it because I keep striving to get one Highmax up there onr day :P
Dwarfy v. Apiks, tale as old as time.
You're all next on the dead list, I'm certain.
That’s fairly ample justification for the removal of one’s name from the Dead List, I reckon.You're all next on the dead list, I'm certain.
Except me.
Because you murdered me.
Do I even have a dwarf still? What have they been up to?You were alive on my turn. You failed to stop the curse from spreading is all

I feel trolled. A panda? Really? That's what gets us?A creature so lazy they refuse to reproduce destroyed this fort.
Fithed, if I have any say.I think you mean Fifthed. Unless, fithed is some word neither I nor spell-check have heard of.
Ding ding ding, the Panda has entered the hall of Necrothreat fame successfully. It will forever be memorized in the same way as the head from the original necrothreat was.The Panda was named Budiloltud (screenshot of the name in an earlier turn (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=19308.msg7461062#msg7461062))
Panda - Second Coming of Ur - A panda, kept in the confines of a cage for nearly a decade, originally by our first queen. It turned out to be the supreme villain of Necrothreat IV, bringing the fort to its inevitable annihilation from within as it somehow learned the secrets of death and raised the dead the moment the king died and we became embroiled in civil war. Records say that the panda was one of the more popular attractions in the fortress throughout its existence. Nobody saw it coming... - Unknown - Necrothreat IV

Poems and now drawings, eh? Going above and beyond on the creative path.Hey, you haven't even seen my conlang attempts ;)
Well, I think the main reason we would wait is for necromancer plots.With how in depth this next update seems, I say give it a second week. There will be many bug fixes in that first month but all the big ones will be found after a week, giving the second week to get rid of them all
How about we start the week after the next update, so any gamebreaking bugs will most likely be fixed?

It also gives plenty of time for Teh LOLmod to be in 100% working order in case the update breaks everything
... How many people is this iteration of Rogue responsible for the deaths of...? Citizen wise, primarily, but generally is also a detail I'm interested in.Just appoint the strongest dwarf in the fort as captain of the guard or whatever forumite equivalent.

I’ve nearly got the mod ready. Just got to track down a crash bug and deal with any suggestions.I'm very hyped
I doubt that fortress mode includes mounts.I’ve nearly got the mod ready. Just got to track down a crash bug and deal with any suggestions.I'm very hyped
The new update includes adventurers being able to mount mounts, anyone know if this also holds for fortress mode?
God i want to see a forumite army riding their trabants, hammering enemies out of their little windows.
Should we PM Apiks? He hasn't posted in a while, but his profile's still active.He's been active a few hours before I necro'ed Necrothreat, so I guess he'll notice once he gets back online.
I believe children also ride their mothers to death, however?I haven't played the new version yet, so I'm not sure how bad the bugs are. Any game breaking stuff? Just a few glitches are always fun though, but if the game is prone to total crashing we should wait a bit indeed.
Perhaps the bugs should be worked out first? :P
Though I am definitely looking forward to NT being up again.
Speaking of bugs, I've tracked our crash bug to one or more of the civs in entity_lolmod. It should be located and fixed shortly.Amazing work, Enemy post, you really are a godsend. Did much have to be changed with the .47 release?
CLOSE THE FECKING DOOR ITIT'S BEEN HOWEVER MANY YEARS I'VE LEARNED HOW TO CLOSE DOORS SHUT UP ;-;
The new age is coming, and only those who are prepared to witness it willI can at least claim present.
‘Time to try and read all four of the previous Necrothreats again’ He says, crying softly to Himself in the darkness.
We can easily avoid the baby thing by simply having babies be born as children, but I'd rather wait until the new version is out.Could be a last resort if the bug isn't included for some reason, or if the update gets a huge delay.
Yeah, I spent the last few days reading some of my old forum stuff. Pretty cringe sometimes, but mostly happy memories‘Time to try and read all four of the previous Necrothreats again’ He says, crying softly to Himself in the darkness.
I honestly dread to think what I posted in NT II.
It is best not to remember one's youthful folly XD
Mine were actually immigrants so I kicked them out immediately, but I've heard that they do randomly raise undead which are then hostile to the fort and can also cause loyalty cascades.Sounds like a lot of !!FUN!! in Necrothreat style to be honest :)
Yeah. Once they were the enemy. Now they are our bumbling allies.Mine were actually immigrants so I kicked them out immediately, but I've heard that they do randomly raise undead which are then hostile to the fort and can also cause loyalty cascades.Sounds like a lot of !!FUN!! in Necrothreat style to be honest :)
Well, the mod's ready to start whenever. I'm certainly ok with not waiting.I think we should wait for a few more bug fixes. We don't want to find out that some terrible bug with a 47.02 made fortress is unfixable by future versions.
Active OP,Does it have to be on DF Community Games already? Or can it be anywhere and then moved?
Very few posts (at most 3/4),
Older is better.
It already has two pages of posts though.Sometimes we must make sacrifices to keep the memes alive.
I feel like it might be nice to have Apiks do the honours, in recognition of his stirling curatorship.I agree
