"I was robbed properly today"
« on: March 10, 2014, 10:33:30 am »

"I was robbed properly today."

Did anyone else lurch and panic when they read that on the devlog?

'Oh god Toady's been mugged! Is he OK? Did he make backups?!'

(For those who don't read the devlog, it turned out he was robbed in-game. Whew.)

For a second I thought he actually had been robbed, and that thought plus the odd wording made me do a double take and retread the first sentence or two a few times before I got that he meant ingame.

I didn't panic though, was just confused at first. It's just the way he worded that first sentence.

Yup I thought that too.

Whenever i read the "doesn't care about anything anymore" line, i instantly imagine a dwarf, sitting alone on a swing set. Just slowly rocking back and forth, somberly staring at the ground, and stopping every once in a while to sigh.
It's mildly depressing.

Me too, - I even thought that 'spear' was a typo, because the searching of the bag also sounded so real world.
I was a 'bit' surprised about Toady grapping a knife and attack, - and finally reached enlightment when it said he was killed.  :P 

Somehow I think Toady wanted that reaction.  :)

Strangely enough, my first reaction was "I would have thrown a giant alligator corpse at them". I don't even know if I mean in-game.

I can't wait for this update. He's spending so much time lovingly crafting this amazing world with so many interactions and stories to be told. Then I'm going to ruin it all by throwing dead things at alive things. I wonder what my adventurer's rep will be like after 15mins? The stories the peasants will tell.....

Until I lodge a dead alligator into their brain......

Toady seems to constantly mix his real-life stories and in-game stories in the updates. The other day he talked about his car being deteriorated by rodents or something.

It's kinda weird to follow if he's talking about himself or his dwarfself sometimes :V

And even that story can be read for 15 words before you realize that he's not talking about Dwarf Fortress.

I was wondering whether he had done something with swarms of rodents too.

I really freaked out when I read his post too. And I thought wow, does he have standards for being robbed? Has he been poorly robbed before if this time was properly done??? Oh it's in game....(sigh of relief).
