Who will get the first turn, EmeraldWind? MagmaMcFry, who was the next in line? Will the turn list carry over or will we have a new one?
My assumption is that Eric will get the first turn, since he's starting it. My personal opinion is that carrying the list over is probably not a great idea, since there are as many people on it as took turns in the whole of Hellcannon.

Agreed. Also consider that 5 out of the 12 people carried over from Failcannon were skipped. Also, it would make sense in the canon, if we're going to make 4 a prequel. Call Battlefailed, Failcannon, and Hellcannon the original trilogy. Then, after we have 3 more forts, people can have senseless debates about which trilogy was better.

Well, that was an awesome end.
And I'd like another pass at this saga, thus far it has been an awesome experience.

Did we just made reality itself commit suicide?
I think that sentence describes all of Failcannon.

So, in other words, Battlefailed was A New Hope?

I don't think there were enough Star Wars analogs. Also, Hellcannon was the one with ice, whereas The Empire Strikes Back had Hoth....

Your analogy is flawed, and you should feel flawed.

Yeah, the analogy is pretty thin. But let's not insult each other, shall we? We are all madmendwarves here. I was mostly just poking fun at those who complain that the Star Wars prequels weren't as good as the original series.

Fair enough. We can all enjoy a little fun poking.

Juvenile insults aside, don't take anything I say too seriously. 90% of the time, I'm always poking fun at something.

So the demons finally figured out the pathing...

I'd like a turn in the next game, and if I'm not too late to claim one of the starting seven...?

Actually, the demons were practically lead around to the dwarves by the cats.

The pathing was so broke that the demons would standstill when they couldn't find a new target to kill, but the cats knew the layout of the fort better than even the dwarves apparently and were constantly leading the demons to the dwarves. With the exception of the couple of dwarves that made their way down where they shouldn't have gone.

Ahhh good point.

Given the way Ledi plagued the fort (on my turn, anyway) back in Failcannon, we should have known better than to trust her minions.  Her tiny, furry minions.

But nothing so cute could possibly be evil!

Anyway, farewell, Hellcannon.  May flights of demons bring thee to thy rest.

I'd like a turn in the next fort as well.

Seems okay for everyone but me. :(

I'd like a turn in BF -2 please.

And so it ends, the greatest(this WAS the greatest, right?) clusterfuck of our story. It had a good run, the ups and downs of this fort were amusing. I also find it amusing that the fort ended on the turn 24, and I'm on spot 24 in the next fort's turn list.

I am on that list, right? Because I totally want to have a hand on this thing again. I swear I'll fix even more things that will inevitably be broken and beyond repair!

Because I was simply startled by the sheer madness of this place (and thus retreated to my more benign thread) I must ask: What was the cause of this epic to sink like a sack of bricks?

Demonic incursion, right?

Demonic incursion that figured out pathing because the traitorous cats led them to the dwarves.
