I think that we should at least attempt to take on the zombies ourselves. I didn't put the Spawn in so that they could be our babysitters, dammit.

It didn't really come off as an ego trip to me... And I don't like it when 'well, he's crazy' becomes a catchall excuse for any sort of bizarre behaviour. There are specific kinds of crazy, and it's best to pick a flavour and stick with it.

(Feels a bit sleazy talking about it after Hansie's already more-or-less fixed it :/)

I think there's still sort of a problem in that Mr. Crazy still kind of drops a blatant hint as to what happened, and simply doesn't explain it further. It's not as bad as 'okay, now that you're at my mercy, I will explain to you exactly how and why I put you in this situation while your creepy friend rushes in to help', but it's still pretty strange for him to bring it up, even more so now that he just drops it without going anywhere with it.

But now I'm just nitpicking, and I'm too tired to really analyze anything properly right now.

EDIT: I think I've got it now... If it's intended as an ego trip, then I think the general gist of his comment should be less 'btw, I did something to you but I'm not telling what' and more 'lolololol u walked right into my trap I'm the bestest villain EVAR JUST AS PLANNED!!!!!'. For him, it's not what he did that's of interest to him, it's that him doing it now makes him the BESTEST VILLAIN EVAR, at least in his own mind. He'd probably drop at least a few hints while raving about it, but it's not really what he cares about.

EDIT II: Should probably disregard that entire last edit, honestly. Need sleep badly

I have a hostile race of evil rabbit/dinosaur/horrifying-crime-against-nature things with scythe tails and bony armour plating. Would those work? I can't remember exactly what their deal is, but they're fast as fuck, have TRAPAVOID and magma resistance (I think?), and are generally not something you want to fight with anything less than a full-scale army.

Dear People Living A Block Away From Me:

Please use a lower-watt bulb for your porch light. There is no reason for your porch light to be so goddamn bright that its glow can travel across two houses, a road, and two vertical stories to my bedroom window and still arrive bright enough for me to read by comfortably. While I appreciate being able to passively sponge off your electrical bills, I also enjoy sleeping, and having a nuclear vampire cooker blazing through my window at 2am complicates that somewhat.

Unless we're actually attacked by vampires, in which case no force of nature will shift me from beneath your Searchlight of Doom.

Sincerely,
Sleepless in [REDACTED]

Allegedly a guy lost an entire army to crossbow goblins because thier gear weighed them down.

You'd be shocked at the excuses people make to avoid admitting that they themselves fucked up.

Just did a quick arena test -- though completely-green troops were reduced to roughly 60% speed in a full suit of iron armour (which is the same density as steel, at least in DF), having Armor User at Skilled (i.e. Level 4 -- not exactly high) boosted it to over 80% speed. Not exactly a huge hit.

Well, it looks the the Internet did what it did best and failed to get the memo :\

FWIW, 34.11 fixed an assload of bugs with the military and others, so it may be for the best in the end.

I just have to make Urist get from the caravan to where I want him to be

I don't think this is the right approach at all When I'm writing, at least, I try not to work towards a specific end point, because I inevitably end up 'loading the dice', so to speak :/

Semi-related: I get the feeling that you are either a troper or an ex-troper.

In summation, let's hope I don't snap and go homicidal at work tomorrow

IN A WORLD where I am somehow the most well-adjusted person in a thread...

I've never actually FINISHED something I started writing, and I'm going to finish this.

AW YEAH
GAME FACE, MOTHERFUCKER ]B^C

That last statment makes me feel honored.

Before this whole circus started, I'd never willingly shared anything I did with anyone nor had I ever contributed to any sort of organized group activity.

It's funny how a twisted little RP of a computer game can have such a positive impact on people :/

But now they can be both!
