Farewell brown F

[Roderic]

I post here my cry for a lose such as this. Everything makes sense now. The genocide of the mountain dwarves was just a mere smoke curtain to hide the complete removal of the giant toads by the devs in 0.10.

I open this thread to allow people to express your moans and gypsy curses.

We'll miss this over-sized warted amphibians

[o_O]

Crawl is ruined forever and the sky is going to fall. They were the perfect balance of giantness and frogness and even an identical monster with a different name cannot fix the hole they will leave in the universe.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Repeat after me:



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[pratamawirya]

There's just too many crackpot theories in Crazy Yiuf's Corner lately. Get a life, guys.

[Pteriforever]

That's what you get when you've had one too many potions of confusion.

[Eaki Godsbane]

Oh, goodbye dear Wartyness...

By the Gods, why are the devs so Xenocidal?

[Stormfox]

Oddly enough, I never noticed. Giant frogs, spiny frogs, blink frogs...it never occurred to me that I wasn't seeing giant toads anymore.

[XuaXua]

Next they'll reduce or redistribute the XP from a Giant Spore.

Even an identical monster with the same name couldn't fix that hole! It's ruined I tell you, ruined!

[pratamawirya]

Next they'll reduce or redistribute the XP from a Giant Spore.

Oh, not again....

[Jabberwocky]

Oh how horrid, I didn't know that giant toads were being removed. What was the reason for the removal of giant toads and MDs?

[Serne]

Unadulterated evil... not really. But yeah.

[Pteriforever]

Shouldn't updates like, add things rather than remove them? That's the third time in 0.10.

Go abyss yourself devs.

[XuaXua]

Oh how horrid, I didn't know that giant toads were being removed. What was the reason for the removal of giant toads and MDs?

Giant toads are the pets of the mountain dwarves; this is like if they removed orcs, they'd have to remove wargs too.

This is the craziest theory of all. I should thank you for that, but I still like my 666.

Oh, is THAT what you were doing?

[pratamawirya]

On second thought, I think I'd like 777 more. Okay then!

[XuaXua]

Go to the PROTIPS thread and check the OP, I just made it easier to thank all the contributors.

[Grimm]

You're a man with a vision, pratamawirya.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Let me see...

757 is not too bad, too.

[Pteriforever]

So, you're saying that... these theories are the cancer that's killing CYC?

[o_O]

Word on the street is its because dpeg wants to make room for a new "moderately large frog" creature.

[pratamawirya]

The one with more "gimmicks" and not just different "aptitudes"? Yeah.

[Pteriforever]

They also got rid of banded mail.

I guess now it's more like
*sunglasses*
banned mail

[pratamawirya]

Holy crap, man. Will they ever stop?

I hear they're going to ban vowels next, both as character glyphs, inventory letters, and keystrokes. Hope you enjoy working with 42 item slots, though at least you won't have to worry about packs of orcs. I imagine I'd get used to having to evoke food to eat it.

And god help us all if they decide that "y" counts as a vowel...

[KoboldLord]

Looks like kenku have just been removed, too, to make room for another race. An astonishing choice, really, although admittedly there would be too much conceptual and play-style overlap between kenku and tengu to keep them both. I suppose the nod went to the challenger because 'kenku' is a D&D-ism.

Not really "removed" so much as "overhauled." The only change so far has been to the name, and I'd be surprised to see drastic differences between the two.

[Grimm]

This is like KL's third ever joke on the boards. Lift a glass, gentlemen.

И суггест ус то мове то цириллиц алпхабет!

Reported. We've got Google Translate you know.

Frankly, I'm going to continue holding out for the game to be rendered and played entirely in cuneiform.

[Grimm]

Cuneiform hell - where's my Harappan seal script roguelike?

[nicolae]

Cuneiform hell - where's my Harappan seal script roguelike?

We're not thinking outside the box enough, Grimm. Sure, no other game uses Harappan script, but in the end, the ASCII character set and Harappan script still have one thing in common: they're both visual depictions. We can do better. We can do more different. We can do... the world's first entirely sound-based roguelike. Chirp into a microphone and your speakers will descibe the level entirely in beeps and tones.

[Grimm]

A smell-roguelike. Imagine the control system.

Obviously this move is to make Crawl more similar to Nethack. Next eating tengu corpses will grant teleportitis or -control, demonspawn will be renamed to succubus/incubus and spriggans to nymphs, along with associated powers. I for one look forward to starting as a nymph wanderer and spending all my starting gold in the temple to buff innate AC...

[Serne]

No no no, a smell rogue-like would NEVER work, remember that the early 80's experiments in smello-vision received horrible reviews. We need something bigger something even more outside the box. I present to you my idea - the taste based rogue-like, imagine the fun of navigating the dungeon by your tongue alone, the wonderful tastes of raw flesh and blood, as well as the taste of mutagenic corpses it would provide a veritable cornucopia of new experiences for the playerbase.

[Grimm]

See now that would really bring meaning to the "soup" in Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup.

[Pteriforever]

That's a bit TOO far outside the box.

What we really need are expensive touch-screen tabletops for the sole purpose playing Crawl -- This would result in a more immersive gaming experience due to the inherent grandness of this new medium! Crawl would extend its dominance of the genre! Half the geeks in the country would line up until midnight to get their hands on such a highly desirable piece of gaming software!

[Stormfox]

Touch-screen tabletop Crawl would give a whole new meaning to Tabbing your way through a crowd.

Unless your diet soda of choice is Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.

That's where I am. I hardly noticed. They were just... a palette swap, really...

[Klown]

Instead of ant people, magma golems called orcs, or essence creatures, Mountain Dwarves will be back in 0.14! A new 'Mountain Dwarf Fortress' mode will be implemented as well. 0.14 will be titled 'Gimli's Ascent'.
