Dear long-suffering sound engineers of FUMBBL -

I am a longstanding admirer of your work. In particular (as a Nurgle coach) I much appreciate the "Ewww!" sound for Foul Appearance.

However...

It has come to my attention (through both practical play and regular spectating) that the sound effect for Troll vomit is, may I say, far from ideal?

Instead of a sound befitting a 2-ton hulk regurgitating some foul substance from the innermost depths of its being, the sound effect appears instead to imitate the puking and mewling of a robotic Chihuahua puppy.

Is is too much to ask for a review of this?

Yours in all admiration and humility,

smeborg

Cordially,

It should be explained that the vomit sound effect lives as the result of a forum user drive. https://fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=32348

If you are a talented vomiter and sound recorder I guess there is nothing wrong with offering a better alternative and make people campaign for its implementation.

@smeborg we covered this in issue 18 of the GLN https://fumbbl.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=32&page=1

Yes it's a conspiracy

No there's nothing we can do about it

Smeborg, I need you to know after all my years of drinking and escapades I’m deeply hurt you think I don’t know the noises different sized humanoids make when they vomit
I ask you to dredge your memories as you surely have the sound of Dan Norman vomiting stored in there somewhere.

I’m yet to hear any man no matter stature or depth of voice not sound like a mewling chihuahua when their throats open to release the mistakes they made earlier in their days.

I think he's quoting in Latin, but my Latin is a bit rusty... From memory "ad hominem" translates to "robotic Chihuahua puppy mewlin".

For those with no Latin = "there is no arguing about taste". If people wish to take offence at the politest of banter, that is their privilege.
