Competitions / Re: Weekly Seed #68 [Alpha 12] [Seed: Nuclear Meltdown]

It was amusing to write. Taking the time to think about my actions and record them makes for better decision making and part of the fun of such things are the emergent stories and such that arise. I've probably had as much fun explaining various situations and events that arise in games like dwarf fortress to my friends as I had playing to begin with. It's the journey not the destination as they say.

It's interesting to know the naming behavior wasn't intended. I wasn't really sure by what means the naming conventions were derived but it's interesting to know exactly how it works. I'd assumed it was the type of thing that under normal conditions people wouldn't care about enough to check, far less notice. If it wasn't for my recording of events I probably wouldn't have either. I didn't think of it as a bug so much as a quirk, I'm glad It's been of use to you and thanks for the credit.  ;D

Far too many times in this run i found myself forced to flee a floor and lucky to have been able to. The margin for error seems low on this type of build, one bad exchange can really set me back badly, and a fear of exchanges at all starves resources and score seemingly. Research is certainly where most my runs end, if I don't get too sloppy in factory anyway. I was quite pleased at my covert approach and how much ground i covered with it, something of a first for me.

Thanks for the opportunity zxc  ::)

I'm going to play anyway so I may as well take part in this I figure. I stand ready to begin my adventure, notepad open for the tales of my quest. let's go.

Diary of run, screenshots, fluff, such alike.

TOTAL SCORE: 7526

I enjoyed this run, despite not being particularly well scoring. I had hoped my luck would hold with my evasive equipment but that fateful sensor jamming and swarmer sealed my fate, though it took a few floors to catch up with me. It took me a day to find time to format the data for a forum post, I'm not familiar with the code so i hope it's OK.
