No accidents here. This is a military installation and killing our dwarves is counter productive to its nature. Plus I will question any and all cave in deaths and demand proof any deaths unrelated to enemy action were accidental. The only thing I can't do that for is Stausic because there were no combat reports and he was perfectly happy. Just randomly comusted.

Yeah, given that this thing has 82 pages worth of posts in 50 ppp format, I don't think this is gonna be abandoned anytime soon :D

Any chance of someone compiling this into a easier to read relatively continuous document or is that the long term plan.

Sure, that's what I would say too. :P

So he defected to a British prog. folk band? That's odd to say the least.

I'd say that's more a long term goal than anything, but you'd have to ask Talvi and Splint about that; I only joined this mess a few weeks ago :P

@ Hans -  Didn't have a reason to kill him and din't even know he was dead until someone found him and I zoomed to find him having evidently stuffed his head ina magma smelter.

@ Megaman - Fuckin' Typo Fairy....

Suuure you didn't.

And you left me a perfect opportunity to make an obscure joke. I couldn't resist it :P

He was a jewler. A non-noble, and a first year. I don't even know how the fuck he managed to kill himself.

Two cents prior to story as far as i've read the plot.
1: HS-2 is Ballpoint's spawn sample, in my plot i've made reference to Parasol having HS-1 and HS-1G (the Original Sample and the Greater spawn sample so Syrupleaf style spawn)
2: HS-X is what Spearbreakers is up against, it is a mutation of the HS-2  and currently it is the smartest of the spawn series.

Except Mr Frog, he's on hiatus to rebuild his possibly damaged ego.

Nonsense! My ego is locked in an adamantine-plated strongbox and buried at an undisclosed location on an undisclosed planet in an undisclosed universe. It ain't getting no damage no how.

Okay, yeah, it pretty much deflates if someone looks at me funny :V  I'm a pansy, I admit it.

I'm mostly just embarrassed, though; I wasn't exactly on my best behaviour there.

Your not a Pansy, your "MR (no period) FROG" one of the primary reasons for this !!MADNESS!! !!FUN!! , without you most of us wouldn't even have side stories.  so if your ego's abit deflated at the moment just look back over the almost 300 pages and know that this is a masterpiece.

No wait I take that back.  This place makes SPARTA look like Pre-School and we had World War 1 and 2 for Breakfast.

and most of us are crazy, Bat-shit insane, Insanity on the edge of making Clown Cars run for their mommas, enough to want...
!!MORE!!

Edit: Sorry insanity took place, your awesome Mr Frog is what this is trying to say.  I blame this on a mood.

Just do what I do, have an ego so over-inflated that it automatically writes off anything that could damage it as spiteful LIES from your enemies.

So much to reply to!  :o First, an update, then, an epic post by Hanslanda, then two lurkers come out...

First thing, Fischer jokes. (Except they're not jokes.)
  • Fischer does not "hunt" because the word "hunting" infers the probability of failure. Fischer goes killing.
  • If you can see Fischer, she can see you. If you can't see Fischer, you may be only seconds away from death.
  • When bogeymen children go to sleep in the morning, they check their closets for Fischer.

Second: Epic update, Hanslanda! Very, very awesome. But I can't take the credit for it - half of it was your idea.

Third: Hey, Orodogoth, Inquisitor. Welcome to the madness (though "madness" is as much of an understatement as saying Fischer kicks ass).

Yeah, given that this thing has 82 pages worth of posts in 50 ppp format, I don't think this is gonna be abandoned anytime soon :D

EHHHhhhhh... I guess I'll get to work on it. Might as well, this is the third time it's been mentioned that it'd be useful. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I have enough of the Word trial left on this computer (and no administrator access)... I'll try anyway.

Am i the only one who see's strikethroughs as red underlines?
@talvieno: i'd be glad to help. You can focus on the overseer posts, and i can try to get each side story into it's own document. I'd also happily volunteer my mediafire account for cloud storage.

I think so... I see the strikethroughs without a problem. But the text was red - that might be why the underline was.

I've spent the last hour, and I've gotten through page 10 of 275. The file is already 4 MB in size. For those of you lazy to do math (me), I'm only 3.6% of the way through. At this rate, that means I have 26 hours left to work, and the file will be 110 MB in size. If, you know, it keeps up at this rate. Hopefully it won't.


Xahnel, if you could sort out the side stories, that'd be awesome. The trouble is, a lot of them are interconnected so that you have to read ALL the stories in order for any of it to make sense. :-\ That's why I was trying to put them in order, arranged among the overseer posts. If you'd rather I do just overseer posts, I'll do that. (For now, anyway - so much of Spearbreakers (maybe 2/3?) is in side stories (which are actually official - not just "fan fic") that to get the full experience you have to read the side stories, too.)

I have a mediafire account too, actually, and wouldn't have a problem volunteering it, so long as nothing gets deleted. I have some of my programs up there.

Well then... If you do two hour increments, and accoutning for new updates, it'll take... Fifteen days. Roughly.
As for the side stories, i was considering putting them all as standalone documents, with a warning to readers to remember the stories are all connected, and to (attempt to, anyways) understand the story, you gotta read it all. Just makes it less frightening in size, as it is broken into bite sized chunks.
