Do you need to use one of the provided worldgen presets, or is it entirely possible to just make a random world like in vanilla?

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarves Not Using Ramps
« on: August 11, 2016, 07:25:20 pm »
I've been trying to have my dwarves build a magma pump stack, and I figured the easiest way to do this would be to have ramps where there would normally just be channeled holes and have them use those for access. However, they won't use the ramps to get up and down. The layout I have (shown side-on) is like this:
U = Up Ramp
D = Down Ramp
S = Space
SSSD
DSSU
USSD
DSSU
USSD
DSSU
USSD
Why doesn't this work?

Life Advice / Looking for a Small Screen for a Raspberry Pi
« on: July 21, 2014, 12:07:12 pm »
So, I'm trying to find a small screen (like, 7 inches or so) for a raspberry pi. I don't need high resolution (It'll mostly be showing MAME games). I don't need a touch screen. I do need it to be under £50, and I'd prefer it to have a HDMI input.
My Google-Fu is weeak, and I need help. Help?

Life Advice / Svchost.exe
« on: April 27, 2013, 03:46:27 pm »
My computer has begun working insanely slowly lately. I've tracked it down to an svchost.exe file which, once deleted, gives me about five seconds of normal operation before it appears again.
It is creating TCP connections from my computer to the IP 95.211.95.250, which is in the Netherlands (I know nobody from the Netherlands), and on deletion it makes about ten connections to it. When I attempted to end the process, I was given an access denied message. When I attempted to look up its location with the "properties" bit on the right-click menu, it also gave me access denied.
My computer works fine in safe mode, however. Halp?

Life Advice / Fuzzyness, dizzyness, blurryness etc.
« on: March 21, 2013, 02:42:06 pm »
Since it doesn't seem like a major problem and it doesn't happen too often, I think I'll try asking you people to see if you can figure out what's wrong with me.
It all started around a year ago. I don't remember the particular indicent, but it's been going on for at least a year.
Occaisionally, after getting up off of a chair where I have been sitting, either normally or with my feet up on a footstool, I experience extremly blurred vision, a sense of dizzyness, and a few times where it happened particularly badly I've basically lost control of my muscles for a few seconds, and everything I touch feels fuzzy for a few seconds.
I ask because recently, it happened to be that I got hit by this, and then actually collapsed on the floor, bruising my shoulder a bit. I couldn't think straight while it happened, and the fuzzyness I described earlier happened. The regular symptoms occured as well.
So far, the only thing I can think of is that I'm sitting wrong, which is cutting off circulation and causing temporarily low blood pressure, causing the lack of control and inability to think properly. It always seems to happen after getting up from a sitting position.

Life Advice / Trying to get somebody alone?
« on: October 11, 2012, 05:50:25 pm »
So, it seems I'll be making my first topic here. Simply, there's a girl I know who I quite like, who admitted to me last year that they had liked me at one point and often made remarks to that effect. Before now, I've been too shy to actually talk to her about it, especially considering she's always in a group with friends. The main question here being; How do I go about getting her into a private conversation?
Hopefully, you nice folk at Bay12 can help me out here.

Mafia / Crazy Mafia (4 / 8-12)
« on: June 04, 2012, 01:33:12 pm »
Oh lookie! It's time for a bit of madness, wouldn't you say? THis will be a bastard mafia. This will be so bastardedly bastard that a bastard will seem simple. You will be confused, you will be wowed and you will be tested to the very ends of your sanity!
Standard rules:
0. You must understand that this game will be crazy, and half the rules will not be given to you unless you figure them out, are dead, or spoilspec. Expect to be confused as fuck.
1. All votes must be in red. Unvoting before voting again is not required, but appreciated. You may vote for No Lynch. In case of a tie, no one will be lynched. (maybe)
2. Days are 72 hours while Nights are 24 hours. Neither time span includes weekends, though I may end weekend-spanning nights after 24 hours if all night actions are in. Unless otherwise stated, days and nights end at around 5 PM GMT. (or will they?)
3. Never edit your posts for any reason, including typos.
4. No PMs between players regarding the game, on pain of modkill
5. Never quote any PM from the mod. You may give a general summary (for example, a roleclaim), but do not quote directly.
6. Please put my name in bold if you would like to get my attention.
7. You may ask for an extension or shorten by putting the respective word in bold. Extensions require 33% of players to agree minus any players opposing, and are for 24 hours. Shortens require at least 51% of players to agree, and will end the day as soon as I can process the day end. (but then again...)
8. Dead players may not post after their death. Yes, that includes bah posts. (but can we be certain?)
9. Please make an effort to post at least once daily. If you do not post for 36 hours, you will be prodded. If I don’t hear from you within 24 more hours, you will be replaced. If you think someone needs a prod, please bring it to my attention- I can’t guarantee I will notice everyone who is not posting. (stranger things have changed...)
10. Never underestimate your importance, and always play to win!
All rules with brackets after them are rules that have the potential to be changed about during the course of the game, or may be messed up by other rules.
Signups
We can have between 8 and 12 players in this one.
1: Dariush
2: Tiruin
3: Urist Imiknorris
4: Phantom of the Library

You are an adventurer. You are in a cave.
You have a rusty dagger, one old lockpick and sack cloth underpants.
Infront of you is a locked chest.
First off, what is your name? What is your gender?
What do you do? (first come first serve here).

Other Games / Oh, look! Toribash!
« on: November 04, 2011, 04:57:42 am »This game seems to spring up on this board every half a year or so, and then sinks back into obscurity. Here at Bay 12 we're people very much used to bloody murder, dismemberment, and violent wrestling, so what gives?
For the unenlighted, Toribash is a turn-based powered-ragdoll physics fighting game for two players. What this means is that instead of pushing a button to punch, you tell the torso/shoulder/elbow/hand joints which way to move, and end turn, then watch as your fighter pummels himself in the face because you forgot to reset the shoulder's move from last turn. It's pretty fun.
So, how about some fighting?
The old thread kind of died and nobody seemed to play anymore.
Anyway, Toribash is a game about beating the shit out of people by moving individual muscles. You can sever limbs, break bones and even jumpkick your opponent hard enough for a decapitation. Fun times.
If anyone's interested, there's usually a BAY12 room, called Bay12.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Annals of Termina (alright, this time, I won't forget!)
« on: September 22, 2011, 03:23:08 am »
I doubt any of you know about the Annals of Termina. I can't even remember who invented this game, but kudos to them!
Basically, it's an RP game. And it's set in Termina. And there's so much flufflore added to it that it will hurt.
So, to start with, rules:
1: There is no winner, the game ends when there's nobody to take over from the previous GM
2: The gamemaster causes random event to happen
3: To join, you create a character, and the GM approves it if it's good enough.
4: It's not a suggestion game. You write your own RP while talking to people.
5: 3 days in real life = one day Ingame. A reallife 24 hours = 8 hours.
6: No overpowered stuff. You've got to earn that empty bottle!
7: You start with 20 rupees. GM acts as every shopkeeper and sets prices.
8: You can haggle and trade with other players.
9: You cannot cause another character's actions, for example: "Germ punches Giggle in the face, Giggle punches him back" is WRONG. "Germ punches giggle in the face" is correct!
10: The GM acts as every NPC, except for trivial ones, (innkeepers ect)
11: It's up to you to keep track of your inventory. If you see someone with an inventory that's not what it should be, you get a reward for telling the GM.
Got all that? Here's the application form:
Name: Original, not something like "John Smith", or "Bob Jenkins". Make it fit in.
Race: Hylian, Terminan, Hylian Goron, Terminan Zora ect.
Age: Realistic, please!
Bio: How did you get to Termina? What was your childhood like? What's the justification for the stuff you're carrying? Then, the 30 mins running up to getting to where your character spawns (anywhere in termina, with justification). I want preferably a paragraph on each, but it doesn't need to be as much if it's exceptionally good writing.
So, join up and I'll start the game! If I forget to start the game, PM me!

General Discussion / The most idiotic, retarded acts you have witnessed.
« on: September 11, 2011, 07:27:27 am »
A thread for all those times you looked at someone and though, "Why are they allowed in public?"
Maybe you saw someone snorting sherbet, playing with a lighter on a bus or even just walking around with their arms out screaming "WHERE'S MY CUSTARD?"
I've seen all of those happen. What are your experiences with these?
