(I intend to link the RPs I'm in in this post.  Or at least the ones that are active right now.)

[chaotic skies]

Yeah, I was Fish. Stopped putting stuff in here because less stuff was entertaining

Huh?

CONSPIRACY

The XKCD substitutions browser add-on, of course. Do you remember what you said when I shared it with the forum?

taw if you change the names of forumgoers i swear to god

What have you got me as?

Nothing at the moment. I have Arcvasti as "Kōhai"*, Footkerchief as "Search Engine", FearfulJesuit as "FootJob", Tiruin as "Eirika", and the other day I took the "That" out of "That Wanker" because it was cluttering up my text formatting (I got both words to be capitalized by putting eleven spaces between "That" and "Wanker"; in normal text only the first one appears, but when I open a text editor, like a posting box, I have to manually remove ten spaces.) I consider new names often, though.

It used to be much worse, I originally replaced everything I could think of with it, which made normal text almost unreadable.** I had to keep it off unless I wanted a laugh.

* He has me as "Senpai" because I introduced him to the add-on.
** A small list:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Comic Sans" became "unholy fuckfire"
"Democrat" became "Goff", "Republican" became "Prep"
Toady was "Sanic Hegehog" and ThreeToe was "GottaGoFast".
The utilities bar under the DF updates on the forum was given a gangster makeover (e.g. "home" became "yo' pad")
"Slaves to Armok: God of Blood: Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress: Histories of Greed and Determination" was replaced with something utterly ridiculous I don't even remember.

[TheBiggerFish]

Nothing for me, huh?  Darn.

Just putting this here, in case I find something particularly in need of sigging.

Non-Community Forts:

• BattleFailed nostalgia fort - a non-community replay of the titular 2012 fortress, made in early 2020. The very first thing I ever wrote, and consequently the worst; it was never terribly interesting... then DF2020 was released and my interest withered completely.
• The Doomed World of Sil Kodor. Another non-community fort, in which I breach Hell in one fortress, and embark next door. The initial purpose of this world was to see if demons can independently migrate around a world (spoiler, they don't, but other stuff happens). After a bit of digging through Legends, the world turned out sufficiently interesting that it got its own thread. Currently pushing 50 years of play, both in fort and adventure mode, and in the process of ending the ever-infuriating Age of the Goblin. Also, I cheesed the Vaults in fortress mode, and ended up killing one of the demons with good old fashioned dwarven power.

Highly Recommended Community Forts:

• NumberCurse, Salmeuk's Community Challenge - strongly recommend reading the whole thing. TL;DR, Salmeuk set up a yearly challenge that all players independently worked towards. The player with the highest score was the winner, and their play-through was the 'official' year, from which next year started from. It lasted 6 turns, before being declared over by the author.
• SmithSoldier; year 6 (180) ; year 12 (186). Fort withered around the summer of 2020... just as we had found some STUPID huge amounts of adamantine in the caverns.
• SmallHands: year 10 (159) ; Year 16 (165) ; Year 21 (170). The tiny (2-tile) dwarven fortress dedicated to all things small (except duration, because it lasted for 39 in-game years, and almost 4 real-life years -- February 01, 2020 to January 03, 2023).
• The World of Bones, a succession world. Another very interesting concept: players get 2 weeks to do whatever they think will improve the world. I built a fort to annihilate a nearby tower, and did so across 10 in-game years. Then I got my ass kicked when attacking the goblin stronghold...
• FriendlyTreason, a volcano embark 'blessed' with two evil biomes, one reanimating and the other generating husk-creating mist (oh, and the entire world is mostly evil). It plays around with turn lengths; instead of one in-game year, each over seer gets one real-life week. That rule was relaxed significantly, due to very low player participation :/

Other Stuff I Did:

• FishHeads, year 206. A fort built not only above ground, but also above water (mostly). It was... not as gripping to play as I thought. Fort cancelled due to lack of interest.
• The Colorless Home, year 303. Metal-poor community fort, founded in the dullest evil biome you can imagine; garnered some interest b/c I hardly ever have to deal with metal shortages. But mostly, I was bored.

It generally only takes a few months of exposure to the bay12 forums for most people's values to erode down to our level. By that time they no longer bat an eye at dropping noblemen in magma, torturing children to make supersoldiers, or infecting their entire fort with lycanthropy.

I can see it already, "BOOOM - oops, that was just the mail man... BOOOM - oops, why was the neighbor's wife at the back door?... BOOOM - oops, that was the other neighbor's kid retrieving his ball...", with "DAMN PIGS, HOW DID YOU FIND ME!" as a punchline.

Whatever, enjoy your Freedom^TM in your lovely police state.

Yep. You've found my secret. There's no point in denying it now. When I see a magnet... with all its curvy magnetic lines... I just want to get my north pole to its south. One of my most secret pleasures is to get a bunch of magnets... and stick them all on each other. So scandalous! And then after I'm done, go lean on the fridge to relax. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just a neodymium magnet trapped in a human body. So yeah... You better get a helmet. Cause I'm going to paramagnetise the shit out of it. And you better make it out of a shaped magnetic material, cause I want to get my magnetic lines all over that thing.

Mr.RC, are we screwed, being in Paris'' realm?

You're not screwed. But you might be about to experience some... deadly attraction? *eybrow wiggle*

I'm only joking, but I bet that rule 34 applies. Somewhere out there there's a website about it...

I too am a skeleton. But I'm trapped in a human body.

And I am a nerd traped in the body of a crazy person wrapped jn an enigma, stuffed with bouts of insanity, and deep fried with mania!

"Gah! What is this?! My hair."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Murphy sighed as he stepped out of the shower, energized and ready to start the day.  Rifling through a drawer with one hand, trying to find a towel, he raised his other up to his bald head to rub some of the moisture away before it could roll down into his eyes.

"Gah!" he shouted, his hand meeting something terrible mere inches above his eyebrows. He quickly retracted his other hand from the drawer, bringing both to his temples, feeling the hundreds--no, thousands--of thin bristly tendrils worming their way out of his once smooth and flawless skin.  "What is this?!" he shrieked in panic, as he wheeled around the bathroom while grasping at the keratinous growths extruding from his flesh.

Moments later, he accidentally crashed into the sink, coming face to face with the bathroom mirror, and his panic to dawning horror as he realised what the moist yet rough substance truly was.  "My hair."
