The Back Room

[Earth]

Gah, I keep getting the worst worlds t make an adventurer in.. Great.

[Grim_]

Heh... operation easy access is completed. What I did was create massive clay floored store rooms that linked down (through ramps/stairs) to various workshops. Each one of these drop shafts had tunnels that intersected the other ones to allow even easier movement of dwarfs. Naturally they are also loaded to the brim with traps (LETS SEE THE ELEPHANTS GET ME NOW). I am currently working on creating a magma flood trap (ala "Boatmurdered")

[Earth]

Ah fu... Wolves pushed me into a water pit, and i strangleded him, but i couldn't get out. So he starved.

[Retech]

I hate goblin ambushes. I defeated one squad, then my dwarves rushed outside to steal their stuff, which led to a huge massacre where my entire fortress being chased around the map. The enemy squads were finally defeated, except a siege came right after it and caught everyone outside. :angry:

 

Maybe I should've gotten my war elephant production started up sooner.

[Earth]

Then i get head chomped by an aligator. What the hell!

Retech another way of defending your home is to set up a labyrinth of traps (and have a row of pressure plates at the end seal the door at the entrance) that is kept open (the goblins will go in and then they will all die). The only problem is getting to the bodies (which can be solved by forbidding the door).

EDIT: Two immigrants... Then 15 more. The [bleep]?

I made a song:

[hide='Huge wall of lyrics]My heart was broken

My soul was torn

I was crying

I was feeling forlorn

 

No hiding from sorrow

No solace for pain

My only hope was that

I might once regain

 

The happy feelings I forgot I once had

Those who were in love hidden and clad

 

As time passed by

My sorrow was cured

I had stopped crying

Seemed reassured

 

Was my hope paying?

Could my mind reset?

Of course it didn't

But I was trying to get

 

The happy feelings I forgot I once had

Those who were in love hidden and clad

 

They were still out of reach

Too far from me

But I kept working

So I once more could be

 

It was still hard on me

Felt like sadness was law

I looked at others

And guess what I saw;

 

The happy feelings I forgot I once had

Those who were in love hidden and clad

 

My heart's still broken

As if sworn in a vow

Though the pain is gone

I might never know love

Which is what I was doing, except I was trying to make an elephant trap (basically my fort is in the middle, and then walls extending to the sides of the map. These have gaps every 10 tiles or so with a cage trap. I was trying to save my woodworker and mason, who were building the walls, as they were my best dwarves.

 

The goblins like waiting outside and murdering all the cats that wander out...

[Seraphi]

Retech, go to the orders menu and check the [F]orbid options. It lets you forbid enemy and friendly items upon death.

 

And Grim, those tunnels had better not be 1 tile wide, or I will prepare a tombstone for your fps. Heh.

[Earth]

I guess you guys only listen to each other cause you guys are playing the fortress style, eh?

[Seraphi]

Well adventure mode is kind of fubar at the moment. Toady crippled it so that he could make some changes and additions to it later, AFAIK.

[Nexaduro]

Dobule post.. But on dwarf fortress adventure mode, i killed a cougar.. With snow. Heres what the snow did to him:

The spinning snow hits the cougar in the head! bruising the muscle and jamming the skull through the brain and tearing it! The cougar falls unconcious. The cougar is shot and killed.

I'm getting more of this uber snow.

People have killed Dragons by throwing worms.

 

And you should've thrown a Fluffy Wambler at the Bronze Colossus that strangled you.

--------------------------

Wow, I actually know what fubar means. Everyone kept writing in Allison's notebook during lunch, did she show you that Tech?

[jasignhagj]

My last fortress got massacred by goblins before I could start an army.

 

We need the DF thread back.

[Earth]

Fubar? And it isn't butchered, It's rather fine.. If you aren't being strangled to death by a colosus who has now killed 318 people, thrown into a pool and died of starvation, and then died because of an aligator chewing your face off!!!!!

[Seraphi]

Nah, Toady himself said that he made it fubar so he could fix it more easily later.

No one want to share their opinions?

[Retech]

Nah Nex, we don't have the same classes and have no free time. :thumbup:

[Nexaduro]

Our lunch table is awesome though!

 

Even Lidya is joining our lunch period, once the weekend is over.

[Retech]

I know, because she's finally joining band.

 

 

She's getting Ms. Petrillose (not sure how to spell that), which isn't good at all.

 

 

 

 

Btw, it's Lydia. :thumbup:

[Nexaduro]

Whoops, knew that, I just don't always look as I type. I scan the text over afterwards for anything that looks wrong.

 

And Ms. Petrillose... :blink:

 

As a person, ok. As a teach, MY GOD WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!?!?!?!

 

Seriously, half of that test on Thursday was either nonsense questions like "do you think the teacher is insane" or stuff that wasn't even in the textbook or her lectures.

[Retech]

Heh, I have a nice teacher. Ms. Caroll gives us 1 page of notes, max per day. :P

 

 

Enjoy.

No one want to share their opinions?

 

I'm guessing it flows slightly better in norwegian. But if you want my opinion as sad songs go it's pretty good, I would have personally ended it on a slightly more optimistic note (but then again I dislike "sad songs"). Overall though it's not that bad and with some slight fine tuning it should be pretty good. May I ask if you are using an instrumental accompaniment?

[The_Mather1]

I wrote it in English, which I find much easier to use in lyrics than Norwegian, I wrote it during the night (in 15 min) with no music at all. It pretty much describes my feelings this summer.

 

I might polish it, but I originally made it as a sort of hinting for my facebook status.

[Nero]

Mather, seriously. Quit moping.

[The_Mather1]

I'm not moping, I made that to put on Face in an attempt to get some attention from the girls. I just thought it was good enough to share with you too.
