Bay 12 Games Forum

No need to contact Toady about it. You've already been given the true account of the arm_ok variable and it's a fairly well known story if you want to search. The forum user Armok chose the name after learning of it from Bay12, not the other way around. He himself didn't inspire anything in Toady other than maybe annoyance.

You're not alone.

Oh, and a vampire child is having a strange mood now. She demands shells but I have none.

Fantastic. Great drop shadows.

I expect the artifacts creator to tantrum hard if an artifact is handed over.

The way it is shaping I suppose plays into the limited hive-mind role you have in fortress mode.

I thought it was going to be a verbal report recited by the dwarves if they returned. And if you sent a squad leader who is prone to lying you might not be given the real reasons they failed to bring back the artifact left sock (terminally side-tracked at the first foreign tavern). But then it would be a question of who exactly they're reporting to. Expedition leader? What if he was on the expedition? Maybe the fortress population as a whole.

Not everyone.

Your expedition was eaten by a grue Elkbirds. Mission failed.
