00:41:13 Devastator: well, that was a cabal turn.
00:47:50 Devastator: Siren got blasted into smithereens by the autocannon, but the hostile spells deleted some people (and body parts) into unreality.
00:49:34 Devastator: Pretty straightforward. Was attacking a hostile creature known as a siren.
00:49:49 Devastator: it rolled a 1+1 on 1d20 to defend against a giant autocnanon, and got killed.
00:49:58 Devastator: There were some other hostile spells around, though, and those killed some people.

03:19:38 Devastator: Cabal went turnlike.
03:19:38 ER: dunno. did you bring snacks for me?
03:20:02 MidJag: Unfrotunely I only have cookies
ER.
03:20:32 MidJag: I mean they're browser cookies, but yes.

05:31:49 syv: So, it's been awhile since I've played DF and done a full embark profile.
05:32:27 syv: ...About an hour since last message.
05:34:36 syv: "The Metal of Dance", founding "Gilttrusted", seem like fine names.
05:35:30 Devastator: Can I ask you to please bring a variety of seeds?
05:35:57 Devastator: I know you only grow plump helmets, but I can't order seeds and get them the same turnset..
05:36:26 syv: Yeah. I normally delete everything but plump helmet spawn, but this time I left in the rest. Guess I'll add the other ones, now that you remind me more exist.
05:37:27 syv: Or... not? I thought there were more seeds, huh.
05:37:37 Devastator: There's all of four underground crops,
syv.
05:37:41 Devastator: unless they added more.
05:37:58 Devastator: plump helmets, dwarven wheat, quarry bushes, and pig tails.
05:38:04 syv: Nah, I recognize all the names.
05:38:05 Devastator: oh, and sweet pods.
05:38:24 Devastator: That's only dye. I can live without having purple dye.
05:38:26 syv: Any other embark requests?
05:38:31 Devastator: but I'll take it if you want.

05:41:01 syv: Seven dogs, four cats, four turkeys, four guinea*, six geese, two cavies. Plenty to butcher!
05:41:34 syv: No cows, despite my chosen dwarf liking cows for their haunting moos. :(
05:42:05 Devastator: agg, game gonna lag.
05:42:30 syv: ...Ah yeah. Some of us have poor computers.
05:42:38 syv: Is a 3x3 embark too much for you?
05:43:32 Devastator: I usually do 4x4 or 5x5, just limit pet numbers.
05:43:42 Devastator: I prefer to spend my frames on more room.
05:45:11 syv: Bringing a bunch of dogs regardless, they're my early defense force. Swapping all the birds to a breeding pair of cows, not nearly as cheap, but more FPS efficient. And my dwarf likes cows.
05:45:38 Devastator: Can probably catch birds, anyway.
05:45:45 Devastator: there's lots of domesticatable birds.
05:46:56 syv: ...Huh, symbol. Haven't messed with this before.
05:48:15 syv: Lets me select a symbol for our group, maybe multiple symbols.
05:48:24 Devastator: I remember having a map with fire snakes on it.
05:48:26 Devastator: I caught them to put in a dining room terrarium, just because.
05:48:38 Devastator: One disappeared, and then another.
05:48:45 Devastator: Eventually I caught a dwarf eating one.
05:48:48 syv: Scrolling through the hundreds of scrolls and books in the world, maybe I'll find something good.
05:49:26 Devastator: Walked up to the terrarium, picked the fire snake out of it, went over to a chair and was consuming . like a meal.
05:49:43 syv: Don't they only eat vermin when starving?
05:49:43 Devastator: That one liked fire snakes.
05:49:51 Devastator: Or if it's available and they like it.
05:50:02 Devastator: No unhappy thought if that's the case.
05:51:07 Devastator: They don't like having to go catch one, but if it's just sitting there, no unhappy thought.
05:51:16 syv: Scroll manual titled "A course on harm". It concerns medical ethics. The writing is somewhat sloppy. Overall, the prose is not awful, but not very good either.
05:52:22 syv: "Written on the item is a manual entitled A Course on Mating, authored by Elana Severesheen. It concerns the reproductive behavior of creatures. The writing indulges the author's every whim. Overall, the prose is wonderful."
05:52:33 syv: So a scroll for
MJ, and a scroll for Dubs, so far.
05:54:55 syv: "A humble offering to endemic diseases."
05:55:35 Devastator: There a scroll on cats for you?
05:55:54 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
05:56:21 syv: Haven't found one yet. They seem to only be about more general subjects, and specific sites/histfigs.
05:58:18 Devastator: Clearly, dorfs haven't invented the internet yet.
05:58:37 syv: "Death: Natural or Supernatural?"
06:01:58 syv: "The written portion consists of a 251 page novel entitled Tusks and the Greatest Guilt."
06:03:23 Devastator: They have invented fanfic, though.
06:03:51 Devastator: Is there a non-written portion to that work?
06:03:54 syv: "Death: Natural or Supernatural?" Is boring aside from the name.
06:05:38 syv: "The written portion consists of a 201 page novel entitled Boats and Nothing More. The work has no particular subject."
06:06:05 Devastator: I think the subject is pretty clear, myself.
06:06:10 syv: Right next to it is a book entitled "Boats and Other Travesties"
06:06:31 syv: ...Which is a single page star chart...?
06:06:55 Devastator: Clearly, there are two constellations.
06:07:36 syv: I'm visualizing a napkin that describes the boat constellation ("2/5 stars"), and describes all the other constellations as "even more of a letdown than Boat."
06:08:08 syv: Overall, the information is compiled masterfully, so it's an exhaustive list of all the crappy constellations.
06:08:25 Devastator: It's a wonderfully illuminated work.
06:08:37 Devastator: The issue is that someone drew an Elf riding the Boat.
06:16:40 Devastator: Also, a dwarf drawing a star chart?
06:16:43 Devastator: Strange dwarf that.
06:17:13 syv: Might not have been a dwarf, could've been any civ's written work, I think.
06:20:54 syv: Bah, I'm tired of waiting for
ER, embarking.
06:21:05 syv: Lesse if I get eaten by wild giant kea.
06:21:08 Devastator: what kind of terrain?
06:21:18 Devastator: Does it still say that?
06:22:27 syv: I selected a river that flowed into a mountain, but the two parts of the mountain are pretty small and mostly not in the map.
06:23:03 Devastator: gotta check the relief view if you want cliffs.
06:23:13 syv: It said there were four z-level cliffs! There's not even four z-levels of terrain.
06:24:13 Devastator: I've never seen relif view not be right.
06:24:32 syv: Bah, I found a better site, if a 4x4 or 5x5 is an option. A river cutting a canyon through an offshoot of a mountain, with * sized cliffs.
06:25:58 Devastator: you're the turnplayer.
06:33:05 syv: Tried it, still a bit disappointing. I turned off periodic erosion, and weighted elevation for heavy variance, but it still didn't result in the world being full of canyons. :(
06:37:20 Devastator: You don't get too too many, but there are usually some.
06:41:25 syv: After a couple more embarks, seems like the cliff viewer counts tiles between the highest walkable space, and the lowest nonsolid space in any adjacent area. So, three levels of mountain, plus one level from the river being low, means four levels of difference.
06:43:16 syv: There's a volcano in the ocean which is 12 local tiles wide, and all but one of those tiles has 10+ tiles of difference, many 20+.
06:43:50 Devastator: that happens sometimes.
06:43:54 Devastator: volcanos are boring, though.
06:46:19 syv: I embarked on the entire island just to see what it's like, and yeah, it *really is* jagged.
06:48:22 Devastator: which aren't tiny, but it's a volcano.
06:48:27 Devastator: last game I did was a volcano.
06:48:48 syv: Oh, I wasn't considering playing out that map. Ran terribly slow.
06:50:37 syv: *Maybe* if there were a volcanic island that fit entirely inside a 5x5, that'd be neat, with a modded fast-breeding race.
06:50:52 syv: But otherwise, having no neighbors or migrants at all is bleh.
06:51:27 syv: No frames either, with an island which takes up most of the region.
07:25:50 Devastator: Decide on a location?
07:40:03 syv: Ah, yeah. Then got distracted.
