Drink a few, start playing, never stop drinking. Less raging confusion, more quiet neglect.

« on: April 16, 2016, 09:35:49 pm »Just finished spring. Sorry for the delay, I've been surprisingly busy in RL. I'm going to write an update tomorrow at some point. It's been quite uneventful, except for one of our glaziers who is now missing his head.Is he... is he ok?

Progress check. On a scale of one to making progress, how much progress is being made?

Just the basement, but my room and the living room are there. The fire itself didnt affect too many rooms (two) but there was a fuckton of smoke and we have to replace mostly every wall, since the whole floor is basically soaked black. People are tearing apart my bedroom to replace them as I type this.
The damage isnt too great but neither is the efficiency of the workers, contractors, or insurance agents dispatched to our case. Imagine looking at unskilled dwarven kids picking up construction job for a whole house. They are very slow, very confused, anything will interrupt their task... Sometimes a mysterious bug prevents a task from being done. Or they give up to get a drink, or because of pathfinding issue.
Oh did you think I was joking getting a drink? Yesterday a bunch of maintenance girls showed up for vacuming. They didnt have bags for the vacuum cleaner ( which is a major oversight when you are a vacuum operator) so they left for an hour. As soon as they return from the hour long bag grabing trip, they re-leave for another hour to grab a coffee. Im not payung for them as insurances are covering the whole thing, but thst also means I have no control over who does what when.
TLDR: Part of the basement burned, most of the basement must be replaced, we are fine and healthy, but incompetence and bureaucracy are bringing progress to a crawl.

Well done in that case. Also WHAT THE FUCK did the fortress seriously die in three turns and a half...??
''Taupe has slain a unicorn''
-Oh that's nice, im looking foward to...
''nevermind, lost the progress''
-Oh that's sad but i'll get another chance to...
''Oh fuck the unicorns are on a rampage''
-Now's my chance to prove my wor--
''The fortress melted WELP''
-Hum, maybe I survived, better ask for a new dwarf just in ca--
''Oh fuck DEMONS''
Truth be said, for a fortress thats technically in 2d, shit escalated fucking quickly.

« on: April 13, 2016, 10:54:10 pm »Aye, I agree. The Suicidal Hills/Tragic Ocean embark is the one. Still, I could try to obtain a version of history where this area has husking clouds; if we want to shoot for maximum !!FUN!! Or shall we just settle for the melty mist?The world needs this map. The world needs husking titans.
Some food for thought: I found an evil mountain with husk-inducing Nefarious Fog at the far north side of the world. Oddly enough the two dwarves I sent to investigate became husked and proceeded to fight eachother to the death. Then I sent the remaining dwarves to kill it, and the husk effortlessly murdered everyone despite not having functioning legs. So I sent a reclaim to take it on; 7 armed dwarves and they didn't even stand a chance (by then the husk was an elite wrestler). Think that might be a little too much fun? Imagine if a titan gets husked.

« on: April 12, 2016, 06:40:54 pm »Sorry I vanished for a bit, dudes -- was really tired for the past couple days. Gonna send Taupe a PM shortly.Im here. I just don't really have access to my own stuff right now. The only thing worse than fire is bureaucracy.
Not only did my clothes burn, but the team that took our belongings to clean them three weeks ago hasn't started cleaning them. Because they lack the required autorisatiin... to clean blankets...?
One team was to tear down the walls but they bailed because they lacked the proper access from another branch of insurance. When they finally took these walls down, they complained shortly after that the cleanup team did a messy job because they didnt clear they inside of the walls. The cleanup occured weeks ago, and you took the wall down half an hour ago, dimwit, maybe thats why.
This is such a clusterfuck...

« on: April 12, 2016, 12:17:51 am »Requesting to be dorfed.Yeah, that's why we are aiming for Doomedfailed or somethingAnyone else feel like taking a stab at finding a suitably insane embark? I'm still looking, but it may take me a while at this rate.
Stumbled upon a terrifying plain with giant zombies AND necromancer neighbors, although having both strikes me as a little bit redundant. It's hard to tell if these places have mist, because I usually die or move on before they show up.
I'm not so free these days, but I can try to roll something up. What kind of requirements does doomhold need besides dual reanimating weather biomes and an evil shoreline?
Also it isn't a sequel to Battlefailed, Horrorfailed and the like without "fail" somewhere in the title. Just saying.

He was crowned after politely pointing out that his wife was a Werebeast specialised in torture. We shouldn't displease the guy.

Five bucks to see him, ten bucks to pet him!I tried pumping out the water from the canal on my previous turn to get someone build a grate there, and it ended up drowning a baby. I'm not sure if I want to mess with magma too much.Oh yeah! I saw that dead baby!
