Eris, likely. They probably aren't too fond of Parasol for the same reasons they're fighting Ballpoint.

EDIT: ...Aaaaand that's three esoteric references in one post. Dingdingding, our canon is officially ridiculously-convoluted.

Okiedokie, finally caught up with Talvi's story...

I'm not sure if I like the implied possibility of an Unreliable Narrator. When the reader's only window to the events of the story may or may not be straight-up false, the story ceases to have any meaning. She says Mr Frog rigged up a gas trap? Well, since we know she isn't credible, and there's no credible source to back her up, perhaps Mr Frog didn't even care she was there, or perhaps she didn't even enter his room in the first place. It just leads to pointless speculationwank and a story that literally cannot provide even the most basic resolutions to anything.

I'm not saying that it can't work, just that it's going to take a lot of creativity and re-inventing of a hopelessly-broken wheel to get me to not hate it.

(Of course, you haven't actually settled on that yet. I'm just recommending that you STAY AWAY.)

Also, Mr Frog seems a lot more... intense... than usual. Nothing wrong with that, I guess. My original intent was for him to have a sort of cheery mask hiding his ruthless nature, but I myself have lapsed with that aspect. It's pretty hard to make him cheery without losing the professional air.

I think it leaned more towards Mr Frog being paranoid of a common street rat, since that version probably has a few holes or abnormal events in his memory  he can't account for, unless it's set up before he was wisked away.

Indeed you did. +1

@storm:

We have built an entire thrice-entangled clusterfuck of a canon in the time since you started. Could you please go a bit faster if at all possible? :-\

Yay.

He seems to have been bogged down by an unforseen occurance that resulted in several players needing a redorfing if requested and reduced our population even further, and probably will remain so until the zombies get cleaned out, as the migrants all charge into the undead horde to try and get inside despite the clear failure of damn near everyone who's tried since.

OHH, OHH I got a theory! *raises hand madly*

Armok wants chaos, so when a world runs out of "chaotic energy" He stasis the world in it's last moments, sort of like a video on YouTube that loops, Armok collects the world and keeps it in a collection of worlds that died kicking and screaming. so when headshoots and syrupleaf died new worlds were created and everyone was reborn, FOR MORE CHAOS. then armok blanks the survivors memory's to prevent them from stopping the chaos then he adds new creatures, and watches the shit hit the fan.

basically Armok is the dwarven equal of discord from MLP.

I figured that was pretty well established, though the  part about keeping particularly clusterfucky worlds  for later refucking up simply because they were screwed up in such a spectacular fashion is pretty good.

Well it makes sense kinda.

And it seems Spearbreakers has become the sole shining anything in my life at the moment, if only because I have a hive of like-minded (kinda) individuals to converse with.

Well, I either have one of several mental disorders, clinically (or damn close to it) depressed, and generally life seems like a pile of shit and you guys are part of what's holding my sanity together. And DF, caue it's the only game that seems to force me to focus anymore.
