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

Is Fischer insane?  All I can say is "sanity is defined by the majority." (Quoted from Terry Prachett's Discworld series book "thief of time", pg. 284)
Cool, so we vote on it? And I never read Discworld, but I've heard of it...

Lol, talvieno, you might wanna go back to your last responce. There's something that might shock you.
Umm... What am I missing?

That would be the "rose romance" convo.

@Talvieno: The seqivet sound epic.

[...] When the squad arrives, the seqivet disappear. You fear they haven't actually been vaporized, as you don't have a Colonel Fischer [...]

I think this should go in the quotes section.

Seconded. We may have to start a seperate quote section just for Fischer at some point. :P

Holy shit, Xahnel. :o I hadn't noticed it. Talvi and Rose? That'd be epic. :P Talvi has a very easygoing nature, but she'd feel "uppity" if she got pushed around too much... That could be fun. lol  Plus, if she's mad at Mr Frog, she might want to get back at him... she might mistakenly believe that a good way of doing that would be to have a relationship with Rose. :P  When are you writing that journal entry, anyway? (or did you write it already and I missed it? o.o)

Pausing work on the Spearbreakers.doc for now - I'm at page 238 (booyah, baby).


Also, woot! My third nominated quote. :)

edit: By the way, do you have any idea how many times we've derailed this thread? We've invented rederailing, interrailing and extrarailing, I'm pretty sure. But we do it so well you don't notice it until you're trying to compact everything and weed out everything unimportant.

Seconded. We may have to start a seperate quote section just for Fischer at some point. :P
That'll probably be my job....

I'm gonna write it up today. Gonna get splint's last few entries, and save then to a notepad, and write from there.
As for Tavli and Rose, rose looks for two things in romance: one, a pulse, and two, the ability to not make her mad. If you got those, you're solid. She's also quite a nice person once you get past the barriers.
How many pages and words is Spearbreakers in the doc?

The only problem I see the Seqivet has is going back into ambush mode, unless there's a way to make them do that on thier own.

Gonna try to get the rest of my turn done today or tomorrow. Then I got some planning to do for a human-themed game.

That was actually a recount of one of my games where I was testing them for Mr Frog. They actually do that. (However, they suck at sieges because Mr Frog wanted them to sit at the edge of the map.)
Looking forwards to your next update, Splint. :)

@Xahnel - I think Talvi might manage it, then... Provided Talvi's bizarre quotes amuse Rose, instead of annoying her. And her country accent. And general lack of intelligence.

As to the word/page count... I'd left it out intentionally. :P Since I'm so close to finishing, I wanted to keep quiet about it until I finish, to try to blow your minds (and trust me, that WILL happen). Filesize is 18 MB, though. We need more pictures.

Sent you the names of the songs that might be stuck in your head, not to veer too far off topic.  And now the Seqivet sound quite intimidating. But in Spearbreakers II if they have the ill fortune to get spotted by a railgun team, it'll be over for them before they can even do anything.

Ok, this a bump post and an OoC update.

Seems I derped and got the final date wrong on my last official update. it is currently the 18th of Timber.
Goblins attacking, as expected. I'm unsure if I want to send Fischer alone against them or not. Ecem was able to survive solo against a whole squad of goblins and he didn't even have a shield so...

I think Fischer can take them. But I'd have a backup squad standing by just in case.

Yeah... Posting might have to wait... The county's library internet is out. I need to pimp slap the moron who thought making every computer in the library system dependant on one building was a good idea.

I decided to have three dorfs take them on.

Fischer and two dwarves of her choosing. Decided to go with Jack magnus, and Draignean.

So a hammergob squad led by a swordsgob vs Col. Fischer, Zap Barnnidorf and Jack Magnus the angry vikingdorf.

I'll give them a minute, tops.

Yeah. Perhaps four attacks each before they're obliterated. None land.
