 Apologies once again for taking so long on this thing. It's really gotten out of hand. Talking last-episode-of-Scorchfountain levels of stuff going into it. In fact, this episode may well end up having more individual pictures than any other episode i've ever done, which is saying something. I was going to avoid saying anything until after this thing was out, but seeing how many people were disappointed by round two reeeeally feels bad, man. I guess i'm trying to make it up to the audience while also staying in the "bastard splatterface announcer krugg" mode. That being said, got a new item in the teespring shop!:

 Splatterface weeping hankies, lol. They're stickers. I thought it was funny.

If it makes you feel any better, I enjoyed round two. I like when you have fun with the formula.

As a creator that’s done so much for the DwarfFortress community, I personally feel you’ve earned the right to mix it up and enjoy the work you do. Between the quality and originality of your content, you’re a helluva bastard yourself and naysayer’s be damned!

Mmm, it gets a little muddled I think. Lots of grey areas. I've done quite some thinking on it over the years. Gotta be a balance with it all, you know?

Huh? I thought round two was great. Weird. Oh well, you cant make everyone happy all the time. Don't sweat it man.

I'm sorry you feel so bad for the reaction. I understand that when I take a lot of pride in my work it never feels good to miss the mark. But I know that I have made things worse by abandoning my designs entirely to appease others. It betrayed a lack of confidence in my own voice, in my own art. Love ya, you beautiful, bearded bastard.

I hear ya, I can imagine it being difficult to balance what your audience wants and the direction you would like your content to go, especially when paired with the publish or perish nature of YouTube. That being said, you still have to stay passionate about your work or what’s the point?

I can imagine having a fanbase like this and having people so vocally upset about creative choices youve made is really a bummer. That being said, I think this probably comes with the territory of getting popular? Almost anyone ever who has done a creative thing and reached a certain level of popularity is going to make divisive choices, and that's okay! This is YOUR tournament and ultimately no matter what you do (especially when you try new stuff) you're gonna get some blowback. Stay true to your creative vision and remember that the majority of the viewers enjoy and appreciate what you do, and the people complaining are without a doubt, a minority.

I would've liked the last round to have felt a little more fair, but overall it's your show and I appreciate all the content you make for us! I enjoy every episode!

I appreciate your dedication to this community mate. Nobody makes anything without some misteps. You are 24 carat!

I thought it was really good. Team fights were fresh, and the execution chambers were scary. It's fun for hoping for something that's hopeless
