We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Caramelldansen is a song that once got stuck in my head and annoyed me half to death. I heard the original version (which was in a different language) and couldn't find the video I'd heard it from. To get songs out of my head, I generally go back and listen to them a few times (with the exception of Deceptacon, which resisted everything I threw at it for three freaking weeks). Unfortunately, I couldn't remember where the video I'd heard it on was, nor did I have any idea of the name. Eventually, after a few days of AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH I got onto google translate and started typing out what sounded like what I remembered. After a good hour of experimentation, I had just enough to get the song in a google search by loose association. I was proud of myself. Seriously, seriously proud. I'd tracked down a song in another language, just from the lyrics.
    And then I found out it was related to a meme. And that it actually included the name in the song. And that the one word I remembered best WAS the name, and that if I'd just thought to put that into google search, instead of trying to get it to translate, I would've gotten the song right away.
    I hold a grudge against it now.


And everyone just got mindfucked.

That is a very normal condition for this topic
This.


After having both read the OP and the PDF, I'm ready to take a turn. If you want to see how I might do, check out Greenloots, Gateivory, and whatever the Underhive fort was called. Splint, do you remember that one?
I remember that one, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, despite how it died from disinterest. Adcessusspagina, if I'm right... though I might be spelling it wrong. I just remember the layout and the drama between Talvieno and Specula. That was fun. I had to do a lot of Warhammer 40k research, though.'

Also, I need to update the PDF... I'm feeling horribly guilty about it now, so I guess I'll get on that. Might as well, right? I'll need a different file hosting site, though - almost everything is blocked.
    Actually, I could just upload it to dffd, couldn't I? I hadn't thought about that before.
edit: actually, I need to respond to PMs and do another few things first. I have a lot on my plate already, and the PDF isn't absolutely essential - it was just something I did to make Spearbreakers a little more accessible. I don't think I have 20+ hours just yet, at least not without some serious schedule rearranging like before.

If this is still going, can I be dorfed? Preferrably female.
It is most certainly still going, and welcome to the madness. :)

@Talvieno: Or you could set up a public dropbox folder, so each time you'll update it you wont'have to upload it anywhere because it would already be updated.

@Aseaheru: I was waiting for this  :D

I can't access dropbox, actually... I have a way to get around OpenDNS to a few different sites, but it makes me look like a bot. A lot of sites block anything that looks like a bot. (Not Bay12Forums, sadly, or we'd never see ad spam.)

@ Aseaheru: I was hoping someone would suggest it. Being the archiver, and possessing a trigger-happy nomination finger, I avoid nominating things myself... But this makes two votes. Congrats on making the front page, TheKaspa.



Ninjaaaaaaa'd.   Me, too, Aseaheru. Lots of things.

Make that three, if it's not too late too add mine.

Never too late. If there are enough votes, I put them up on our TVTropes page. (which I seriously need to update at some point...  ::) ) I also throw them up there if they get enough mentions elsewhere in the thread - for example, Mitch's "Holy shit."

@ Aerie - It is, but we're waiting another day for NCommander before moving on to the next player.

Oh gosh, I read this until somewhere in pages 300~ and stopped a long while ago. Now I have to read through over 100 pages. D:

Edit: You know what, let's start from the top, the thread can't move that fast... Right? ???

Another bloody edit: How about I get a dwarf? I seek a male Crossbowman named "Lennox" please.

We aren't really big on marksmen unless we need them to back our regulars and even then they're all part-timers. But we can still hook you up with a dwarf.
