Internet Kraken posted:Oh good it isn't just me. Hah, if I had the time, I'd try and gun for an Overseer spot with someone who was a little touched in the head and saw things...differently... In all seriousness, though, I'd consider switching back over excepting things that demanded screenshots. I wish there was a DFHack method of capturing what's displayed in the game and spitting it out into something pretty for people who aren't used to flat plain floors and males also being bags. Someone get on that!

Pickled Tink posted:I'm finding it very hard to tell what is going on in the outdoors shots. I am just too used to the default settings. Spot the murk is pretty hard when it is homogeneous green on homogeneous green when your usual terms of reference don't apply. I know that it's possible to change the color of several materials without requiring a regen. Does anyone with more experience than I have know how to do that for murks?

Since it's a random material, you'd have to pull basically the same process that you use to take [BUILDING_DESTROYER] off of demons.

So slightly related, slighty unrelated... Sarah Palin said "Obama lies. Freedom dies". Now, this reminds me of Gemclod's "Vox lied, <insert name here> died." (Example: Vox lied, Goatface died.) So my question is, what is the origin of that? Please don't tell me she's just a Something Awful LP fan.

markus_cz posted:Okay, so we've already established this was a false alarm. Still, let me just say... Which reminds me... Leperflesh posted:Naturally anyone who grabs the save is exposed to massive spoilers and is strictly forbidden from ruining the fun by posting details or even oblique hints about anything in the game that hasn't been explicitly exposed by Overseers. No "oh ho ho just you guys wait" or "oh man Leperfish really did a number" or "OMG I can't wait till what happens next month". That poo poo is really really annoying to the audience. And updates delayed by a day or two every now and then are fine.  What shall we do now though? Talk about the dwarven pantheon?Sotsa's journal entry was really great by the way. What do people think, was that (avatar of) Ugath or some his disciple? I like to think the former - in which case taking that book was even worse idea than in the case of the latter. Fadedmaggoty is a great piece of music, even better than Loden Taylor's first. I wonder what kind of piece you could make about Ugath.

 I think Kraken may be breaking under the pressure. This dense evil atmosphere and quiet talk of goblins can't be good for anyone's sanity, but I have heard him in the adjoining room, shouting at his dog (Whom he has given a dwarven name) about undead turtles, heretic deeds and the two-legged dogs outside. We mined together, a few days back, but when I asked him what he wanted his bedroom carved out of, he said wood. Chestnut, to be precise. I almost questioned this, but he was looking for any sense of doubt in my face, and I have seen him accuse even the walls of treason and evil deeds. It does not bode well. Right now he is silent, brooding over the strange new arrivals and their odd behaviours, and I can only hope they are of sound hearts, and will bring him back to sanity before it's too late. If even one of them reveals himself a being of darkness, I think that would be just too much.

 Esar, goddess of marriage, depicted as a female dwarf. While dwarven women are not typically bearded, Esar is. Her flowing beard signifies fertility and prosperity. Priestesses of Esar and new brides may wear false beards in her honor. (or, you know, not, this is just what I had in mind when I came up with the design)

Diploid posted:So slightly related, slighty unrelated... I'm pretty sure this is super old political word salad. I first heard it, and I expect many goons are the same, during the Iraq invasion (e.g. Bush/Blair lied soldiers/Iraqis died) but it wouldn't surprise me to find it in Punch cartoons from the 1800's. So it's more of a style of protest politics that's being referenced than any specific event.

Hey, look on the bright side: this means that you can worship whichever god/goddess you like to suit your narrative, rather than rely on what the game says.

I'm glad everyone likes the gods so far! They're a lot of fun and I intend to do the whole pantheon. As is they're just a smidge too large to fit the avatar guidelines (they're something like 125x127 px) but when I've got them all done I can provide avatar-sized versions for people to do as they wish with.

Just got caught up on this again (Luckily for me this LP started just before I was going to be away for a few days, and not after), and I have to say, you do an amazing job of making the usually uneventful early years interesting, Leperflesh. I thought the same about your turn in Gemclod (Though to be fair, all of the early Overseers in Gemclod did a great job in that respect). Certainly setting a high standard, but that's not a bad thing. Also, the amount of fan contributions already, when the first year isn't even complete, is staggering. I only wish I had some shred of artistic talent I could use to contribute too, but sadly I'm about as un-artistic as they come.

Rurik posted:Yeah, this would be great. Actually, should we have some "LP rules" in the OP? A few rows about what's not welcome for the sake of this thread's Fun. Pointing out potential mistakes and spoilers would really be it. Yeah I'm not going to just post the save in the thread, but, a couple people have asked for access in order to do maps or 3d things or whatever and I don't want to be restrictive. I'll revise the rules in the 2nd post when I get a chance. By the way guys, hi from canada. I had a bad travel day, flight delays and fuckups but I managed to play through and record the next update: it just needs screenshot editing and I can put it up tomorrow. Thanks for your patience. Also I added all the latest contributions to the 3rd post, they're all great and I'm sorry for not commenting on them individually but I have to go to bed.

When the fort gets overrun/abandoned/flooded with water/flooded with magma/flooded with demons/wiped out by disease/etc. (which is hopefully a very long way off), would you be so kind as to post the region save to the public?

8th Slate I wonder about my legacy. My craft in scopes is ignored by dwarves, and stolen by humans. Maintaining the pumps is work enough, but it never satisfied as the design and fitting of lenses. Still, in my endeavor in folly I discovered dear Sodelimush, which has been reward enough over the years. Perhaps I should change daily schedules? (...) 27th Slate Saw notice for new fortress in Hills of Rewarding. Sodelimush was intrigued. Perhaps we both need a new beginning as we pass the midpoint in our lives. Very few friendships tie us to the Manor of Dawn. Worth further thought. (...) 2nd Malachite Within day's journey of Bronzestabbed, as told by map. Cannot spot outpost in spyglass. Crack continues to dote on Geshud. Glad to see her affection, but I joke that Keet is very tasteful when young. She punches me for that, but it is well deserved. (...) 3rd Malachite Now within halls of Bronzestabbed. Had trouble finding entrance, as there was little to identify. No path, no walls, only doors in dirt. Was some time before a dwarf hailed us to come in. One called Leperfish came and showed us entrance. Fort is young, but shows promise: there is already tin and copper, so Bronzestabbed shall live to its name. Leperfish is leader of expedition. He stares intently when thinking. It unnerved me when questions were asked, so I could not share my expert comedy. He is very friendly though, and I shall attempt expert comedy at a more relaxed time. "Bad Monkey"(?) calls himself captain of guard, even though he is only military dwarf and is merely adequate fighter. Still, he patrols and menaces kangaroo in fields when bored. Told him joke about kangaroos and elephants which made him laugh. We share detest of snails. What are they hiding in those shells? (...) 5th Malachite Went fishing today. Not a worshipper, but made small prayer to Lorsith that she might give up some of her bounty. From the north came a mountainous column of Leperfish calls it "Fiendish Murk", which I find apt. Markus claims it is harmless murk, but I disagree. I do not know the intent of the gods, but murk was filled with evil. What mad fool would decide to settle here? Well, I suppose I am one of those fools for coming. May Sodelimush never encounter that wretched storm. (...) 9th Malachite Leperfish instructed me to construct fishery, which I did without delay. I am only a novice fisherdwarf, but the more experienced Kraken has shirked his duties of construction. I saw him at pond, where he spoke of theories of Murk. I prefer to ignore it now, but Kraken claimed that murk had power to revive a slain dwarf with power threefold. I quipped with expert comedy that we should throw him into the Murk, and then he might learn to build fisheries without shirking. Kraken said nothing and walked back to the fortress. He obviously does not appreciate expert comedy. (...) 24th Malachite Geshud has been pastured with other birds. Growing into a fine young guineacock. Crackmaster often visits him outside of the fort. I continue to joke that he has grown very plump and would make excellent roasts, but I hate for anything to happen to him. Crackmaster would be devastated. Geshud accompanied us while hewing wood. Crackmaster and I took turns felling trees to conserve strength. Bronzestabbed is small, but it will grow and prosper despite threats. As long as I have Crackmaster I will be able to weather the worst murk this land has to offer. (...) 13th Limestone Crisis averted, but narrowly. Crackmaster had gotten into sewer brew while creating more alcohol for the good of the fortress. Must have downed several barrels, because she comes to me mumbling about mosquitoes and "paraphersnailia". She then stumbles full speed toward the exit. I only barely kept pace as Crackmaster dashed to Fadedmaggots. She always ran fast. The rain was pounding, and the Murk billowed. Crackmaster dunked her head into pool closest to stream. Out of breath I took a sip, but water was putrid. Murk swirled around us, but we were somehow spared. I remember whispering thanks to Igest the Silken Embrace for protecting us against Ugath Muckcrypt's fiendish Murk. Was able to drag Crackmaster back to fortress but was reprimanded by Leper. Crackmaster complained of lack of well for drinking. I will accept any punishment from Leperfish, I am merely thankful that my bride is still among the living.
