Crawler drones are mostly remotely controlled.

Actually, each jumpdrive capable ship can jump without a beacon. It's just not safe or accurate. Calculation can take several weeks if you want to end up in one piece.
That WOULD typically be ideal, yes.

Anyways..."You guys know how to operate crawlers dexterously enough to save any survivors and not just retrieve their corpses?"

Explode things, light things on fire, do Tim things.
[2+1] You light one thing on fire: Yourself.

Continue Respawning Focus. The Zerg shall come.
3/8. You really could respawn now...

Hinder Cassandras respawn somehow, without killing myself (again).
[3] You avoid killing yourself.

Respawn as a spaceship in orbit of earth.
[1] You respawn as a spaceship in orbit of the room. You crash. Respawn?

CREATE CLANKBORG ARMY, RAZE EVERYTHING.
[1] After creating one clankborg, it razes you. Respawn?

AS LONG AS IS BRAIN, SHOULD WORK, RIGHT?

>INCORPORATE NEW DEAD BRAIN INTO OLD DEAD ZOMBIE SELF
[6] Check. The new brain is in full control! Wait, what?

GM Turn:
The Marines [5+1v1] make the clankborg explode. Collateral damage includes a couple Jägers, (rolls) Furtaka, and Tiruin. Respawn?
Yoink-bodied NPC (YBN for short) decides to make a robotic exosuit. [1] It explodes. More NPCs die.
The Guardsmen look at Doomblade.

RAISE MONEY FOR AN AIRCRAFTCARRIER FOR CHURCH.
Just to clarify: Metal is fine, right? It doesn't have to be made of fir?

You know what else selling brownies boosts? Your chances of having your founder's head blown off in one shot from a Death Squad officer.

Note to self: Agility is really helpful.

then at least learn about her. we don't want an inept cripple or something, and we have an entire settlement to choose from.
Exactly. The elf woman should be at least above-average and/or very notable in some quality before we use our precious Gift on her.

Also, ust to clarify, we're using the gift of displacement, right?
We had best...

Tell everyone that the one way to learn to ingnore the song is to embrace it. give those people earplugs. continue running adds for the other churches. for money.

DF Suggestions / Re: Urist McMagma has died of burns

So, 74% you're okay, 75% you're dead?
That's not DF, that's, I dunno, Final Fantasy or Minecraft or something.

Dwarf Fortress cares about not just simulating it well, but simulating it right. And for a game in alpha, it does pretty well.

General Discussion / Re: Bitcoins, e-currency or just fancy crap?
« on: November 25, 2012, 08:43:13 am »
Nice thread here, i do enjoy discussing currency and economic ideas.

One thing I thought I'd mention is how fiat currency can have value if it's not "pegged" against anything ... e.g. wouldn't the value be purely based on psychology?

And the answer is no. The reason being the way modern central banks / federal reserves issue currency. Rather than just printing money and handing it out, they issue currency as DEBT (reserve banks loan money to other banks to be further loaned out). And debts always have to be repaid plus interest.

Think about what that means? For every dollar issued, more than that many dollars must be eventually repaid to the reserve bank. This ensures that the DEMAND for dollars is roughly proportional to the amount of money issued.

Obviously this is a simplified explanation, but you get the idea.
The debt isn't really the reason I accept money. I'm not taking the money so I can be payed back money later. I'm taking the money because I have a reasonable expectation that I'll be able to exchange it for what I want.
It's the same with gold during earlier centuries. It was a pretty but useless metal. Why did it have value? Because it was valuable, and therefore you could be expected to be able to trade it for valuable things. That's oversimplified, of course, but the point is that money has exactly the value everyone says it has.
If some chicken farmer says that one pebble is worth one egg, and people exchange pebbles to pay for stuff, the pebbles are a currency. Conversely, if no one accepts your $100 bill, it is not.

Humans: Midwest American-English (Neutral Accent)
I take it you're a Midwesterner?...That's actually a word?

Managing your dwarves is so complex that an entire application is needed to sort it out, with several pages on the wiki on how to sort the application out.
What are you on about? All you need is a bolt, plow and hook to carve out your livings before wild pigeons get hungry and try to eat your flesh.
I figured out DF without reading any wiki pages that would have been helpful. Granted, my first fortress didn't farm or change z-levels... or stay played long...but I figured out the basics easily.
((Maybe it would have helped if I hadn't clumsily modded the game first?))

Yeah, no need to randomly convert people.
Wait until we have someone we know we want to convert. Random elf rancher's current wife? Who knows what problems she has.
