Wow. I think I just traveled back in time and logged into a BBS. This game looks interesting. I'll definitely give it a shot.

Irridium: "Oh it's a silly thing. They are just overreacting. I was just hunting unicorn and may have used a controversial hunting technique to locate them, and it made the elves a bit angry."
I like him already.

Root wouldn't have any of this though. Quick and accurate blows to the backs of the fleeing goblins kept them from escaping.
Tactical Rear Confrontation is lesson one. A dead goblin is a dead goblin.

I suppose that would make a good goblin a melted goblin?

Can I be dwarfed please? Preferably as a solder if possible. You do seem to need more of thoes.

Love the LP. So exciting. Kind of has that "tune in next week for more . . ." feel to it. For me at least.

don't worry vallorn - if I were you, I'd be proud of my death having caused the LPer to go on a roaring rampage of revenge and slaughter the goblins responsible. :p

Pffff, at least the whole squad you were leading wasn't slaughtered because the armourers neglected to make metal armour for us! My boys, my poor poor boys. And myself of course. Now where's my ghost, I need to haunt something.

Probably a caged goblin. Doubly so if it's caged with an elf.
Now that's an idea for entertainment; Goblin Arena! With a new victim gladiator every week! Will he/she reach glory? Place your bets now!

gotta say, your avatar is perfect for what you said here.

oh yeah, and vallorn, you died a hero.
a somewhat idiotic brave one too.

Honestly I had a feeling some dwarf was going to die like Vallorn did. That spot on the map is where the dwarf caravan was cut down, and as a result there's a huge pile of items there. There's a regular stream of dwarves heading over to it, picking up an item, and then heading back. I could forbid everything but there is some useful stuff there. Unfortunate that a soldier had to die rather than a useless hauler.

What Kraken meant to say is that he actually has great respect for haulers and their profession, and condemns the Goblins' attacks in the strongest terms.

Here's an update for you; technical difficulties, the game.

So this week has been really shitty in terms of the LP. On Wednesday I was to sick to write, and on thursday I accidentally feel asleep and wasted half the day. But today I have no problems, so everything should be fine. Nope! I got everything set up, and then my computer crashed. Okay, lets try again. Set everything up, another crash. Try again. Crash. After the third time I'm convinced that my computer isn't going to cooperate today. It goes into periods of crashing on seemingly random days, and I have no clue why. I'm not going to start writing an update only to have it crash on me. Sorry.

If you're so tired that you can accidentally fall asleep then that sounds like a much more pressing issue than Dwarf Fortress.

I'd tend to agree, if it's draining you that much, take a bit of time to recover.

We won't moan.

[sub]that much ;)[/sub]
*MOAN*

yeah, take as long as you want, safe in the knowledge our computers are working fine >:)


no, seriously, take as long as you want, so long as it isn't more than half a year ;p

YES! I did not die in my first confrontation! That is a sucess right?
it's more than i was able to do ;)
heh.

in DF, joining the military=death

especially in reveredtour

EDIT: actually, being sent to reveredtour is a death sentence in of itself.
if reveredtour survives up to 150, I'll be amazed. Although, I have a feeling the circus'll be involved before that happens...

EDIT 2: Kraken, I hate you right now for being so f*cking awesome.
