Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

[Internet Kraken]

Also Kraken, what biome is the fort? Evil barren wasteland?

It's a terrifying tropical ocean bordered by a savage savannah. It's hot year round which is why we have never had a single drop of rain. The savannah itself isn't haunted though so the creatures coming from it aren't undead. Not the most brutal place you could embark on but it isn't exactly pleasant either.

Also I know I haven't made any updates lately. I could make a big list of all the reasons but it basically boils down to a lot of work me not feeling like writing. I can't guarantee I'm going to make another update anytime soon either. One of the conditions I set for myself when college started was that I wouldn't force myself to update the LP. It isn't enjoyable for me and the updates that come from doing so aren't very good.

Having been through hell today, I can concur. I'm pushing myself to do Nanowrimo, and it is a push at the moment. The detective is meeting up with a lot of revenge fantasies, which I'll edit out later

I said so days back, is he still post on SA or has something happened to him?

He's got Skyrim. Draw your own conclusions

Hiya, Root-mommy!

Hiya, Rhian-dear

if they arnt very good kraken then your best is up for pulitzer prizes.

but still. take as much time as you need. its not good to let this kind of stuff get in the way of real life.

If it has stopped been fun then no-one is forcing you to continue, but I would lose one of my favouite LP's or maybe you could pass it on to Root (if she wants it) for a while or permanently. Also what is Nanawrimo?

Root is a he IRL

for a while or permanently.

Wouldn't touch it, it's Kraken's.

Also what is Nanawrimo?

Let's go out and kill something! I'll act as your eyes...

Who said I was talking about IRL Root? Dorf Root would make a great LPer except the whole she is blind thing.
I meant so he could take a break from it or something.
That sounds really hard but fun.

Having spent most of my free time in the past week reading this LP, I wanted to commend Internet Kraken for what I've so far found to be one of the best LPs of Dwarf Fortress I've read so far. I've passed the 100 episode mark, but still have about 20 pages to go. From what I can gather, Kraken is feeling less than enthusiastic about this project as of late, and while I think it'd be a pity to see it die, I doubt anyone would resent you for it, Kraken. Still, for what it's worth, I think you're doing a good job of it, and I've enjoyed my time reading your adventures immensely. Having tried DF only once after reading the Boatmurdered LP, I am amazed that you can get this far and not fuck everything up. There may have been close calls, but you're still a better man than I. Kudos.

Also, if the LP continues and you need more people to dwarfify, I'd love to have my name on the list.

actually, he said he is at college and it was during the holidays the recent updates popped up, and you do tend to get shitloads of homework at college, so he may simply not have the time.

*dusts cobwebs off of thread entrance*

Kraken? Root? Where's everyone gone?

We may as well try and keep the thread active until Kraken wants/can update again. This is one of the best LPs on the forum, come on guys.

 

[killthenrun1]

There is not much point spamming his email until he wants to update again.

 

[vallorn]

i for one welcome our new Cobweb overlords.

 

[lupus_amens]

Okey couple of things to say:
1. WOOO i got dwarfed!
2. WOOO I'm not fucking useless
3. WOOO I'm less likely to die
4. except for getting into contact with ALL the disease ridden dorfs, less wooo...

*sigh* looks like this fortress has truly ended.
unless he is waiting for the christmas holidays, in which case, YAY!

 

[killthenrun1]

I doubt he would give up without some kind of forewarning. He might be too busy with the SA:LP

Ya he's been posting fairly regularly in that thread. Also bemoaned falling behind on keeping this one going once or twice.

=(

Holy crap this is one of the most epic LP's I've ever read. I've been reading this over the past month, and the only other one I've seen that matches it would be the legendary boatmurdered thread Something Awful made years ago.

If the LP keeps going, feel free to add me as a dwarf. I highly expect to be the most useless migrant/child you get, so make sure to give me all of the hilariously dangerous/stupid/wacky ideas you can come up with. That or just hand me a stick and point me at some goblins, whatever works for you!

Keep up the awesome work man and good luck with college. It kicked my arse this semester so I can understand you having to wait for breaks to do updates. Hopefully you're doing better than I did!

Oh yeah, and you can do my name as "Mr.Moustaffa" or any variant of that that you feel is appropriate. Thanks for all the awesome reading material man!

Ninja can you ask him when he thinks he will be able to get back to us?
Also what does the rank Gone Gonzo mean?

Just a little bump for great justice.

Anyway, I reckon he's just busy with college for a bit. No doubt that he'll get back to this. He can't let us fans down eh?

Oh and Gone Gonzo doesn't really mean anything.
