Start up a community game of Salty Days Ahead, in a thread mostly founded by people with bad memories of its community. Bright idea. Might poke my head onto the DF fort's thread.

Eh, by my reasoning, just because the devs have some social issues doesn't mean the game is bad (though it's getting there :/). It's been a year +, seems like it should mostly be Salty Days Behind. Plus, we wouldn't invite those other guys.
Gone. Cheers guys.

I'd be down, I don't have any qualms with the game, really.
I am no longer legitimately considering leaving this forum

I'd prefer we try and get invested in a DF fort first. :\

I'd agree, I think the logistics are easier, and it would be more fun for some of us that have gazed into the Cata coding abyss and had it gaze back at them. Backup suggestion is backup - if DF fails to take off or generate interesting stories, I'd like to give CDDA a go, but I lack the focus to do both at once.
Gone. Cheers guys.

Exactly. Some of us have had experience actually working on the game, so... XP

You may or may not be the person and or thing I was possibly or not possibly referring to in a potentially subtle or unsubtle manner.
Gone. Cheers guys.

I am getting a tad salty over the way Toady handles content additions versus bugfixes, and I'm starting to scare myself. ._.

Shhhh. We'll just take that salt and sweep it under the rug. Shhhhh. You need to stop telling yourself ghost stories this late at night.

Or presumably you will steal this salt to continue preserving your body. :V

I wouldn't dream of using dragon salt. Much like dragon sand, the stuff is highly combustible AND caustic.

So. Guess what? Turns out that stone was ALREADY on the material list for squad weapons. Know what that means? I can zig-zag yet again because I'm a fucking derp, and set arrows to use faked stone again. Just need to ensure the arrow-only version doesn't populate the material lists with redundant entries.

EDIT: Scratch that, just adding the demanded token for stone ammo to stockpile messes with uniforms. >.<

Holy shit.

I'm a poetic fox man demigod, right? So I'm on a mission to kill this night troll, right? Well, he ambushes me a few map tiles from his lair, almost gets me with his wrestling skills, but I end up dismembering his limbs with my bronze scimitar before running his heart through and running around him 'till he bleeds out.

So I go into his lair, and guess what? Fucking night troll twins. I've never seen young ones before, actually, and for some reason, THEY'RE MUCH BETTER FIGHTERS THAN THE OLDER ONES. Their heads come off a lot easier, though. I'm guessing it's the size. The consort went down without throwing a punch.
