*4 hours into the final stages of tanning a hide*
Task aborted! You feel suspicious like someone is watching you!
*I turn around*
"...THERE'S NOTHING THERE!"

I've said it before, but damn I cannot wait for that particular "feature" to be fixed. The hide I spent the past four hours beating should not magically become un-beaten just because my character got paranoid. Same for any other time-consuming task.

"Ability to continue crafting after cancelling the process; thus making the selection of your working hours and periods completely free" is a "future goal."

"Ability to continue building after cancelling the process; thus making the selection of your working hours and periods completely free" has the status of "bigger task in process / partially featured."

(http://www.jmp.fi/~smaarane/urw_development.html)

Does anyone know what causes the paranoia? I know that every time I received the message and looked around the map tile, I found nothing. Is it part of the spirits / otherworld aspect of the game?

Captain Forever
A free flash game where you fight space ships with your space ship.
The twist is that you can drag parts from the ships you kill onto your own ship.

Shooterthingy's blood looked awkward along with the tron-ish mecha style, but that may just be me.
The boss in Another Shooter was cool. It vaguely reminded me of Fraxy.
In Another Shooter, it seems that both the enemy bullets and your hitbox are tiny. For difficulty, shouldn't at least one of them be large? Maybe I'm just too used to big bullets and a small hitbox.
I liked the death animation with the enemies' wrecked ships plunging down the screen. The big red explosion when they hit the bottom at first looks like it is meant to damage, though, being big and red.

Overall, the games are nice. Nothing too unique, but they're fun, like many commercial flash games.
Develop onward!

My first attempt to read the comic sputtered out around the start of Hivebent, when Gamzee's quirk made me ragequit. The second time, I skimmed most of the memos and other troll-heavy logs and wound up having to reread everything a third time in order to understand it all.
For the quirks, I found that javascript bookmarklets like deleet helped a lot.
One could at least use a lowercase bookmarklet to get rid of Gamzee's quirk.

Woohoo, Alnisurist is the Elite Champion!
#1 in Elite, cool new title.
He was only my starting gladiator, with all stats below 70, even with equipment bonuses.
Never even killed anyone.

The same player name.
$0 in the player's bank account.
A new private company with $2,500,000 in cash (including $1,000,000 from loan).
No buildings

Annnd electricity is now in B2B.

Edit:
Restarting gives you $5M and a random Q20 research still...

It did at first I noticed, but when I logged in again I had to start a new company. I even gave it the same name as the first one; it allowed it. I started anew with $2.5M cash and $1M loan.
$5M? I don't have any researches, either...

Restarted, thanks! Though I unfortunately still don't have any research shown on my company page. Time to report, I guess.

Scott has noticed the electricity issue.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Heck, just making coal or natural gas importable would work.

This guy...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He was pretty active up until he had 1 energy left. Then, he kept switching strategies, not using up any energy whatsoever, until my guy died.
I have my dude set to tank when he is very exhausted. This uses up very little, if any, energy. However, it causes him to be randomly damaged if he does it for long. This guy, "Ace of", bypasses this with strategy switching, it seems. That's really clever.
What strategy do you guys use?

(All formatting/misspellings/punctuation/capitalization preserved.)

Garbanzo beans swallowed heartily are of quality and Disgust and many odd bulls took upon themselves as Romans who kiss sexy goatse-with Doritoes, poptarts lied everywhere whilst dolphins Jaws are pooping delicious chicken legs made of dirty Beef.

Harems firing many MASSIVE heads of cabage death.

Extreme mayhem is best release of dorf mayhem.
Possums are RETARDED little shits. Who are elves with encrusted socks Gift shirts. should ALWAYS be properly tucked lick and PREPOSITIONS should consistently explode because they were shaken Very hard.

Hello, burn, what the hell? Holy men are entirely to be holy. That someone is not dead.

Possibly like shit potatos shit potatos vodka is yummy and Soviet. Communists are Communists. Communists love equality and revolutions 'n' Russia. Don't support Them. Fins found on russians are awesome. They Help Paedophiles acquire ...children... ??? and babies. and when RainbowDash DIES, the world cries. DerpyHooves explodes into MUFFINS!

The kvlt.
That was pretty crazy/stupid.

Extreme explosive reactions were extremely Awesome and epic.

Hitler killed Ghandi, nukes were evil but Ghandi ate uranium, exploding into millions of kittens. Gasmasks are cheap poop also, what, what?

I like meeeennnn in sexy sweaters derpyhovves nonsensically sucked.
Metal is normally ok when Ponies play the gituar on my NuclearRainBomb of explosives, genocide is bad, Precious ponies are precious, my little explosive thermite thermos Detonator ASPLODED they died. horribly while the bear laughed. said turtle breakdancing With money comes With insane dorfs.

Some eat, while pulling legs. Pork s'nice.
Pineapples killed video games by overloading Main Widgets Nuclear arms. fire in Uganda with Thermonuclear Wargames. HungerGames make Cheeseburgers and fries poisonous. Flubber is useful insulation because why you eat cake

Urist McMason creates a masterpiece
Heh, I was the OP in that one. :)

A griefer just downvoted everything in a game I was in, and got banned a few minutes later. Looks like the update is working? (Someone could have reported him instead)
(http://drawception.com/viewgame/gjFmBC9hQX/the-late-night-show-with-abe-lincoln/, you can see his comment)
EDIT: I don't actually see any update like that(?), just nerfing of people with low scores. Would be useful though.

Works fine with Linux after adding the libtcod and libSDL .so files.
However, crash:

    f = open('/logfile.txt', 'a')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/logfile.txt'
Remove the '/' on line 4088, this causes it to attempt to write to the root directory on linux (the equivalent to C:\ on windows). Thus, a permissions error.

Otherwise, neat game! Good luck with it!

Culminating with the new release of DF and Valentine's Day, I beat raid level 7 for the first time!
http://alpha-37a.minitroopers.com/b/view/raid

Of course, the game cheats, and gives me a loss with -1 units left. WTF?
I think retreats may be bugged; 2 troopers had retreated during the raid.
