My objectives are, in roughly-descending order of priority:
-Unleash the Greater Spawn into the world at large so as to serve as our first line of defense
Hints that a succession fortress has gone off the rails...
I'd say the first sign of that was when I had to go into the raws and systematically purge them of any and all references to farting
E: Actually, can we stop and appreciate the fact that Taupe looked at the fortress's situation, weighed his options, and concluded that the best way to save the fort would be to
unleash helland then he posted in the thread, "Hey guys, you know what would really ensure our safety?
Unleashing hell!"
and then I looked at Taupe's suggestion and weighed the risks and possible alternatives, and said, "Sure, Taupe, you go ahead and
unleash hell, this is the best possible balance of risk and reward given our circumstances"
and then Taupe, at my beckoning and with my explicit blessing, proceeded to
unleash hell, predictably screwing us over in the process
and at
no point during this entire chain of events did anyone -- me, Splint, anyone -- look at the exchange of ideas that was taking place and say, "y'know, Mr Frog, Taupe, despite all appearances
unleashing hell may not in fact be the most beneficial course of action in this or any instance".
This bizarre, fundamentally-insane plan had, against all odds, lived out its entire life cycle from conception to development to approval to execution without being shot down. The Little Brain Fart that Could, if you will.
I dunno, I just find that very inspiring.
