Did you forget to put that semicolon after the closing brace? Also, by "RIGHT THERE" do you mean above or below the line that thinks you haven't declared the class? If it's above then you really haven't declared the class yet!

That's no carp...

Greg is just trying to get ratings.

...I bet it was Bob, though.

Ten dwarfbucks say it's the elves' fault. Somehow.
It always is, damn tree-hugging, water-drinking hippies.

...Why do I suspect it was me? Again?

Probably Loyal, he's braindead after all, and he probably forgot how doors open and died of starvation.

So, I've got all the screenshots ready for the update 'cept I just woke up from a surprise twenty minute nap. I think we'll all be better served if I just go ahead and get some sleep and do this in the morning when I'm thinking straight.

That's fine with me.

Though I just made a realization.

One of the few things more awesome than a Dwarf fortress LP would be a drunk DF LP.
Though probably only the posts'd be made in an inebriated state, not the playing itself.

The goblins finally got tired of sitting outside being useless. The southern group tried a few times to ford the river, and I think one of them even got across at one point, but the main force was effectively isolated from any access to the fort. I woke up this morning and they were gone; I would guess they packed it in and left at night in order to keep some semblance of dignity.

Or maybe given how badly they fared against us they thought we'd storm out of our fort all glowy and super-powerful and shoot them with energy from our spiky beards or whatever. Who knows with these dumbass goblins.

From what I understand, the other dwarves have given Melfice a title in order to "honor" him for his "eloquence" during his sortie.

The sad thing is that I think Melfice is taking them seriously.

Of course, one of the other dwarves, Matsci, heard about Sibrek, Loyal, and Melfice facing down the goblin hordes and took inspiration:

To be honest, I'm not sure why he chose cat leather of all things. It's not like we don't have a shitton of Adamantine and steel lying around specifically for armorcraft. I tried asking him about it and he said it was "a tribute to our fallen Thadius" which, of course, only raises more questions. First off, what the fuck does cat leather have to do with Thadius? Second, I knew that our most recent "Thadius" was just some schmuck who went nuts when the old leader died, but how long has this been common knowledge?

Regardless, Matsci's masterwork is impressive, as is he:

Apparantly he worked the marble and steel with his bare goddamn hands.

It's not all artifacts and mocking though. No one has seen Geminex in about a week.

My guess is he was walking through the twilight zone of a maze we've got under this fort and was startled by the undead in the river. No way to tell for sure though, the tunnels are labarynthine and there's little hope of finding his body without him to call for help.

Regardless, it's high time that we and the vermin in the river had a reckoning.

This is almost immediately below the hole where Thadius died in the cave-in

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

Got a few out of character things to write as well, but I've got class at 10:00 so I'll take care of that later

Matsci = dwarfed.
Geminex = D-E-D

Oh fer god's sake.

The history of the dwarf geminex:
1: Was told he'd be engineer, turned out to be only peasant
2: Was promised a place in the hammerdwarf squad, never heard about this again
3: Drowned ignobly.

I demand to be redwarfed. Preferrably as something actually competent.
