the Squeezing War

o_o ...What?

Hehe, anyway. Good read!

Thanks for the post, in any case! I'm well aware that the new font might not be for everyone, but I wanted to give it a try anyways. I might clear the centre of the letter "O" so that I can put the diagonal bar in the number "0", to make it more clear which is which.

Heh, yeah, to be honest I'll never be using that medieval font style as it really is painful for me to read something and it is a major deal-breaker for me why I've never been able to play games like Ultima 7 and its expansion (believe it or not I've spent hours just trying to figure out what the npcs were saying to me in that game, really, really unpleasant, all because of letters being like chinese/japanese hieroglyphs and to add insult to injury the npcs were talking in old medieval British style).

Default letters/default dwarf letters are just fine for me, thanks. I have already difficulty reading sometimes the default stuff on-screen if there's too much text. Don't need any extra debuffs. x_x

Science question: If an outsider joins a bandit gang, does that count as being an upstanding member of the civilization and therefore give him the ability to claim his own sites?

Well, lucky for you that I've already tried that. Wouldn't recommend right now as naming your site and group and zones tends to result in random race languages and on top of that, you can claim something yes and be called a brigand. It's just that once someone in the camp you joined as a bandit dies and one of the bandits from the camp happens to be your companion he/she has a random chance of becoming a leader of the group and if the companion in question happens to be in your ruling zone... uhh, yeah.

Was just not all that pleasant for me.

I prefer the regular reading letters, this one is painful and artsy (its the painful thing that's a 'con', artsy being a 'pro'). I don't even know what half the letters are supposed to be its like "is it a G or an O? or is a it a 0? No, must be a.. agh, why's it so hard!".

Her untranslated name is Veilholes the Web of Seduction, a name that turned my 'yes' into 'double yes'. Despite the name she's only associated with theft. She's a bowdemon and a general by trade, but a bow is a terrible waste of perfectly good demon muscle. I'm getting her a great axe or something as soon as possible.

Yup, things definitely just went all Slaanesh here. Could use some of that good time to ease my sorrows along with some pot if it was legal as I've been in constant tension for days now trying to do relaxing methods and failing every damn time.

Alright I investigated the two asteriks to the north-west of my fort-tower, turns out one of them was a draenei soldier and another is a warlord's henchmen who kept on attacking both me and the other guy or gal who upon my arrival this time outright killed the soldier and picked a fight with the wrong being. Sure an ischroboar is smaller than a Draenei but broad as a dwarf and angrier than a bull, saw the perfect opportunity to demand the steel warhammer from that bandit leader's goon to be dropped but he/she refused so I pulled a Cave-In-Strike and quickly grabbed the dead draenei soldier's bronze pike, I then bashed the goon in the lower body and then bashed the goon in the neck breaking upper spine and to avenge dead soldier's death I thrust pike straight into the draenei warlord's lackey's head and that was the end of that fight. Grabbed all of their gear along with their bodies with no penalty to my speed.

After that I went to scout the nearby area and found another soldier who was willing to be a hearthperson but upon hearing that the group 'Akbaa' the ischroboar joined with to gain peacekeeper status and fame, that very group was somehow not fit for rule, that's when he fucking snapped and brained his chubby head to bits (crushed!) with the ☼platinum molth☼ and then butchered his entire body with his menacing ☼ischronite drolth☼ and picked up all of his body bits.. surprisingly with no penality to sprinting speed.

I swore I would take no Draenei life but it's really easy for me to play Khorne incarnate to the point I'm not RPing anymore and it just comes naturally and it feels really good, that grim satisfaction of killing something out of pure hate and rage as something you wanna be known for in the game and npcs are aware of my actions!
I have a lot of issues with real life and just going all "I am Kharneth! TREMBLE AND WITNESS MY WRATH FUCKERS!!!" helps me relieve the worst of my mental condition.

That is almost as brain-bleach-demanding as what I was jokingly implying. o3o

Sorry. *chuckles* I had to think things through realistically once again.

Anyhow, my own ischroboar's adventure has been on hold after building my latest structure there (I even have three beds there at my ischroboar's bedroom! *hands some brain-bleach to whoever needs it*). I've only done about 2-4 simulation runs after finishing the building 100% and it looks like the main backup save of the thing where I've been going back to has two asteriks to the north-west coming/camping. I need to investigate it further as for some reason there are two draenei there who's letter icons are in purple for some reason and when I asked on of the attacking ones who he/she was and he/she said that they are a warlord's lieutenant.. yet their creature tiles are in purple. I call werebeast or vampire on this one, that or it's some sort of bug.
