There were no changes, but I want the two versions to be as alike as possible. However, Fish, it seems like you missed the new pearl definition .txts from your proper Phoebus package. You should reup that zip one last time, too. Is this sort of scrambling typical for DF LPs? scamtank fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Jul 16, 2012 |

OK, Lepermod 0.1 for Phoebus is re-uploaded AGAIN, here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?j249d8r8u8yduth Several files were missing, including most of Voxmod, and the files needed for pearls from Modestmod. This time I've verified the presence of all necessary files. If you previously downloaded/installed Lepermod you can paste this right over it with no problems.

 S.P. Ducimsolon Two dwarves meet in battle, dressed and armed with steel. The victor is crowned the champion while the fallen is buried in dirt - this is the natural order. A disease needs no weapon, nor does it wear any armor. It can steal your breath or multiply within you, and it cares not for how many battles you've won. Life demands a champion - and it is disease, not dwarf, not man, not elf, that is at the top. I was one year old when my mother died. The details were never told to me, but when I was old enough to grow my beard I read them in the archives.  It was that day, on my way back from the old library, that I spotted the Monastery of Itches. I had seen this place of worship all my life, but it was only in that moment did I truly see.  For 50 years I was a humble servant of disease and deformity. My wife died before giving me any children, but I found peace in halls of the monastery. I remember the smell of cinnamon.  It was the year 149 when the fools tore down our place of worship. They said it was to make room for the civic expansion of Shottome, but it was clear what they thought of us. A few miles out from the center of the city we rebuilt our temple and our faith. Nearly another 60 years went by. 60 years. When I spied the mayor of Shottome speaking with The High Tomb, I understood all too well what was about to happen again.  The name was a...mockery. Our single room of worship was no larger than inn, yet our numbers continued to swell. It became necessary to expand outside of Shottome and its oppression. I may be old, but as my body fails and festers I can feel myself growing closer to Ugath. I can hear his call to serve, and I am not alone.  It is here, in Bronzestabbed, that we will build again. Another temple must be erected, larger than before. Across the river, to the north. Into the breath of Ugath.

Things just keep getting worse here, which does not surprise me in the least given our hosed up leadership. Dwarves crave structure, and there is nothing but chaos here. Jimmy cracked under the pressure and now everyone is scrambling like naked mole dogs to find a new leader. Apparently she had squandered a ton of resources building some ridiculous misting device? What the gently caress was that supposed to accomplish? Could've built a bunch of traps with the time wasted on that. Bloody idiot. Course, things ain't going so well on my end either, but it ain't my fault. These recruits are useless. Olesh never stops whining about having to work so hard. Kid claims that he is the great great great great great grandson of a King or something, and thus is not fit for such messy work. I told him I didn't give a drat about noble blood and he'd fight like the rest of us. Course we all probably have some noble blood in us with all the inbreeding that goes on, so he doesn't even have a point. I think I'll seize half his rations and feed them to Urist. The kid needs to lose some weight and my dog is more useful than him anyways. But SirPenguin, what a mess this old gently caress is. I keep hearing him mutter about Ugath and his "blessings". Checked some records and sure enough he's a former cultist. Normally I don't care about other dwarves worshiping their make believe gods, but these cults take it way to far to the point where he could be a threat to fort security. He might waltz out one day and embrace the murk, and then we'll have a walking corpse to deal with. At least with him in my squad I can keep an eye on him, and if it comes down to it I'll be able to put him down quickly. Not like anyone would care, most of the fort probably thinks he'll be dead any day now. What the hell is the logic behind Ugath worship anyways? When I worshiped gods it was becuase I was praying they would somehow keep me from being dinner for a giant cave spider. Why the hell would you praise your "god" for infecting you with horrible filth? It seems more like a divine "gently caress you".

Alright, I have a brilliant plan to keep the fortress safe. Build a mine-cart rail gun filled with nothing but soap. It'll destroy the enemies AND clean the fortress at the same time. double points if we do it with cat fat.

I'm not sure how feasible this would be considering it'd be more manual labor for you over this LP, but you could have some system where goons could give support to candidates, which would increase the weighting they have for the roll for overseer. Maybe you could do it so an endorsement from a dwarfed goon counts as .1 and non dwarfed counts as .05 or something like that. That way readers have input in terms of the future of the fortress (and making input thematic  ) while still having an element of surprise over where the fort will go next.Araganzar posted:If we can get Oh Crap and I poo poo Trains to undertake some task together, surely the results will be magical.

That's because nobody reads technical drawings in their spare time for fun (at least nobody who's not a bit weird). Things that are meant for fun on the other hand are representative. For example, blocks of legos that represent grass are green and look like grass. You won't find some grey legos with "GRASS" written on them anywhere.

^^ It would slow down the choosing. Any sort of vote system does. I'm not a fan of voting for overseers in any way. I think we'd end up with the same crowd overseeing every LP. We had Vox, Markus, Internet Kraken, Bad Munki and eleven untested overseers sign up this time, and if we put it to a vote, I'm pretty certain it's come down to a I'm not worried about OhCrap overseeing. I love a new perspective on things. And remember what 'new' overseers have done in the past. Pozzo's end to Syrupleaf, Markus starting off Gemclod, Bad Munki during Gemclod and lots of others.

Besides, if there's one thing that we learned from Weepangels, it's that too much democracy just takes the wind out of an LP's sails. A steady marching succession of tyrants is a lot smoother to organize.

Welcome to Bronzestabbed It's not much to look at.  The fortress is quite inconspicuous and blends with the landscape - the almost invisible entrance is right behind the trading post. Above it, there are windmills and other chaotic mechanisms of the misting machine that pumps water into the entrance. Also notice the statue garden slightly below, the animal pasture on top right next to a wood stockpile, and of course the refuse stockpile positioned handily next to the traders. Bronzestabbed! Where dwarves live in mud and drink water.

I don't just want a popularity contest. This is an experiment, of course, and it might not work out. But let's give it a good shot, and that means we don't panic as soon as one or two goons show up that we're not familiar with. e. yeah the tannery is right next to the refuse pile, which is where skins wind up after a butcher hacks up an animal.

I don't just want a popularity contest. I wouldn't mind a little bit of mob rule. I think it wouldn't just be familiar overseers that were selected but also notable contributors. For instance, if Nomiskos was one of the options, I'd vote for him (her? it?) because of the quality of that one journal entry, and the same for people who are contributing in that fashion. The other side of the "same-old" coin is "don't mess with success".

Yes (unless you turn that off), but having a job queued doesn't always mean it gets done right away. Having the raw materials stored near the workshop that will process it is basic efficient design. And sometimes skins rot before a tanner gets around to them; having them rot outdoors avoids miasma. Of course, putting workshops outside is not risk-free, but I built that workshop very early on in the fortress's history, at a point where indoor space was at a premium.

I don't just want a popularity contest. I think this is the right way to go. If, in the future (probably in another LP) we want to have a vote, the way I'd do it would be to have someone collect anonymous one-or-two-sentence summaries of what kind of overseer they want to be and vote for those rather than peoples' names.

I'm all for random new goons being overseer, and I say that as an olderseer who has put his name in the hat every time and will continue to do so until the LP is over. However, if we decide to start voting on overseers, you all had better pick me first or when I do become overseer, I will brutally punish any dwarf who voted against me!
