That hardly sounds good for the space elevator...

More importantly: Energy is an important consideration. The amount of electricity needed to propel a good-sized chunk of rock or iron is pretty massive. The amount of uranium or solar panels needed to generate that much power? Immense.

I suppose I should have been more specific. The ninjas are the only ones to benefit from the Conservation of Nijitsu as they lose numbers.

And yes, I did. Although I used the errata's +1.

Pirates don't use nijitsu, and therefore don't benifet from laws thereof. And I crunched the numbers, guys. If I hadn't already thrown away my math I'd show it to you.

He said a hundred thousand, not ten thousand.

He retconned that, stating it was a mistake:

Sorry, ten thousand. Bit on the low side.

Also remember the humans here are at a technology level about where they're discovering the wheel, so that would put us at a couple thousand years BC.

Wasn't Earth a fair bit over 10,000 people 5,000 years ago?

Also keep in mind the number of gods of insanity, necromancy and death this universe apparently has. It might have been more difficult to establish large civilizations on this planet than it was on earth.

So...we were interacting with the world before the game starts? Given the ratios of gods...yeah, throw in a little smaller/waterier than Earth or a recent mass extinction, and totally plausible.

Literally only two gods are neutral/god in this, me and LordBucket I think. You'd think there would be more gods that aren't just "BadassMc Death and Fury Battle Kill Edginess."

Um, what about me?

Why? Why would anyone be "Boring McNeutral" when you can be like me "Chaotic McFuckY'all"

Vestigial sanity.

It was mentioned, just not by you.

It would make more sense, but if we're gonna have areas that you can't see because you haven't been to them in awhile, you might as well have Line-of-Sight (LoS) routines which are more commonly found in roguelikes.

It would be a real programming feat to have LoS for more than one dwarf at once. (Though if anyone can, Toady can.)

I agree, LOS is stupid.

Wrong.
1. Kobolds also siege if they steal enough--I think the requirement is something like 3-5 items.
2. You can start at war with other civs.

I saw a reference to goblins not eating in the FotF post and asked a question which means that this debate on if goblins are supposed to end should be resolved the next time he answers the FotF questions! So if we can just wait a few months...yeah, not likely. In any case, shall we discuss non-food supplies that goblins could require? I'll start: Food for the trolls and mounts.

Greet the new person. Continue secreting material for and creating blades until everyone has a knife substitute.
