I think this game drove me crazy !
« on: March 30, 2017, 10:51:01 am »

Hey there ! I'm back to the forums !
You'll never believe what happened to me !

I got trapped in basically some kind of a never-ending time loop that re-winded itself at precisely 6pm each day, and sent me back to 6am.
I was lost in a hellish castle which ground was littered in vomit, and which walls were made of dwarven flesh.
I heard elves laughing through the damp ground, and I had nothing on me but a copper pickaxe.
I tried to dig the ground and walls, but it didn't work.
I took me several cycles to map out the cyclopean corridors of the castle, but I realised it was a circular maze, with no exits.

So, I was trapped in both time and space, and the elves laughing were starting to debilitate my brain...
I was crazed for freedom.

That is when I though about using my pickaxe to dig... something else... Myself !
It worked. As expected.
I saw a hole in my belly, and within this hole, a new place ! A shiny forest of golden trees. With blue-ish grass.
That's where the elves must be ! They were in myself all this time !

So, I entered myself, and amongst the packs of golden trees, I saw it ! The great old ruby tree !
I reached its summit using my flying Pickaxe, and faced the elves' leader : the Great Sucker Druid. That was his name. He told me.
After a good kick in the nuts, the Druid was on his knees, I bit his throat to make sure he would never rise again.
The Elves laughters stopped after that.

I knew what I had to do then.
I gathered the Druid's blood, and came back to the castle and spilled the red liquid in the vomit.
The vomit disappeared in a huge mist both red and green. The vomit hissed in an unbearable noise, and the ground was melting.

There was now a hole in the ground, leading to another new place, which I'll explore soon. It was already 5pm when I first discovered this, but the new place was made of...

Of what ? I can't remember...

Meh, you're fine, happens to the best of us...

Though if you see a clump of ooze anywhere crawling around, tell Mr. Fluffles to come back home

Oh, yeah, and if you see a minotaur In a top hat with monocles called Sir Lootington tell him that he doesn't have to be ashamed that instead of cloning as a human being he cloned as a minotaur.

I once had a dream of running around naked an Ascii fortress. Than goblins came and cut me in half. As I look back at the image, it's pretty hillarious.

So what is abnormal about your story of Dwarf Fortress proving detrimental to your mental stability?

Just never forget,/That Bloodyhells is always a threat.
