Re: Poems of the Fallen
Drowning Ominous cracking heard a second too late Far out from the shore with my mind on a kill But the ice could no longer hold up my weight Just as the forest reindeer finally lay still Breathless was I from chasing after my prey Across two miles of forest and a mile of ice I had forgotten what my old man would say My mind had been on nothing but the bloody prize But 't was not a bloody prize but a price I would pay "It offends the spirits to bloody the ice in early spring--" I heard dad's voice in my mind as I felt my strength sway "--and 'tis surely your death the spirits will bring." (Yeah, that happened, a few characters back. Just as the damn reindeer died, it became morning, the ice grew weak and I fell through. And drowned.) October 02, 2017, 03:37:21 AM |

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Njerpez fallen He was a starving redshirt, oh, a Njerpez do I mean Hanging 'round my island's outskirts Unaware that he'd been seen So I took my fine broadhead and my longbow in my hands By nightfall would he be dead His stain cleansed off my lands He was a starving redshirt, oh, a Njerpez did I mean He bled out on the frozen dirt Where he's ever since been October 03, 2017, 07:02:40 PM |

Re: Poems of the Fallen
The (not-so-)sage Once I believed a sage had to be wise then I saw this fool standing on rather thin ice The ice broke and so fell he straight in Got frozen and soaked right down to his skin The bitter cold addled his quite feeble brain And he got so tired he could have slept in the rain Tired enough that on that spot fell he asleep And drowned in a puddle barely three inches deep.

Re: Poems of the Fallen
"The Challenge" This story is long so please sit comfortable be kind, listen in silence, if you are able His name was Cosoban, Can I remember right? Sixteen years old, ready for the trial night! It was time when he's lost almost everything way back to village, friends, his family ring all clothing, all equipage and all conscious too In start of Winter, badly hurt and that is true! He woke up after long dream, cold and afraid (Part of my rules when I've had him played) But there was one thing he has not lost his strong will for surviving at all cost Fire was his friend but hunger, not really he picked some berries and that wasn't silly but more important, blade made from stone easy be done if not pain in arm bone limping through forest and for water looking eating that berries, had nothing for cooking sleep, keep warm, walk more every morning I know, this part of story is greatly boring come back next week, I will tell you more if you don't like it, then please ignore.

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Pardon the anachronistic Shakespearian format, and not exactly fallen, but unfortunate. The Lay of the Sexy Fisherman He came to the town With perches to sell (A big cod as well) And threw his catch down. The men-folk all stared And women they squealed At muscles revealed And all the flesh bared. As naked as born His arse in the draft His clothes had he torn For making a raft.

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Of encounters unfortunate An immense bear did once cross my path the moment he spotted me, he got quite mad Swiped at my head with his enormous claw My eye started bleeding and limited what I saw The bear pursued me as I fled towards my home But after a while lost his aggression and started to roam between slender trees and bushes of berries so red I thanked the spirits the bear was no longer mad So I was all alone as I wandered the land had no dogs, no companions, when I encountered a band of Vagabond robbers, five were they and oh! No less than four of them were armed with a bow. No longer bleeding but still could I not see more than two-thirds of what was in front of me And the injured eye not only limited my sight The throbbing pain would also make it quite hard to fight So there were five robbers, four armed with a bow But they had not seen me so I hid and, real slow, did I inch back away from these uncouth men then when outside their presence I swiftly ran And ran and ran until my home was almost there Where I could recover from the wound dealt by the bear But, alas and behold, 't was not to be Less than a mile from my home a Njerpez encountered me October 14, 2017, 10:16:42 PM |

Re: How did you discover UnReal World? -- 10 choice poll
It was somehow related to Dwarf Fortress but I can't remember if I read about it on the forums or if Toady One mentioned Unreal World in some interview/update first...

Re: Arrow disappears
I'm completely sure I've killed e.g. birds with an arrow and collected only the bird from where it fell (straight down), with no arrow (whole or broken) to be found even when searching, so something is bound to be there. However, I'll keep my eyes open with my next character (who'll be created with the next UrW version). After all, tracking down oddities is a lot easier when they're reproducible, or at least logged.

Re: Arrow disappears
I'd add the broken arrow since it will remove the confusion of having it disappear (resulting in more bug reports, most likely). The player can chose to dispose of the arrow or just let it lie on the ground as with any "normal" broken arrows, and if a mod allows you to recover the point a broken arrow is valuable if the point is of a high quality. That, however, is low priority, as Sami said, and he should know November 04, 2017, 04:39:45 PM |
