That's the inspiration, yes. It'll probably get more coherent if we get any immigrants.

Notice the if. I'll let you guess about the nature of that, but no, my POPCAP is set at 300 actually.

[Muno syoan]

I like where this is going! Are you going to let immigrant Dwees into the hive, or treat them like actual bees would and kill them as they attempt to enter? Or keep them out at first due to protective instinct and let them in later when the hivemind becomes smarter?

Cannibalize the tradesmen and make (*Bone marrow Honey*) out of them! 

[Flar Moonchill]

Any chance of a run down of which Dwarfs are doing what? :-)

[Boksi]

Mebzuth is a miner, and technically mason. It was a stupid idea to make both the same dwarf.
Flar is a woodworker, both cutting and carpentry.
Servant is a stonecrafter and mechanic.
Glacies is a farmer.
Apis and Cephlathorax are soldier dwees.

The queen is completely free.

[Boksi]

Well, that's it for the first year. Lots of soldier dwees suddenly. I even went and uploaded a map for you, but I'm having trouble with it and can't be bothered to wrestle it down right now.



Time Limsteen. Year first.

StranÐge minds... They arMe us but... &S/MNFGU%(# not us. We are s_trong together, yet "M&)#W%LC&/ hard to &think. It *grinds* our minds... And wFhy have we come? Exc/hange... ExKchange gLoods. That wa%s unexpecteGd. We are not /M"$/&=G and ha#ve nothÖing to trade. W/e have Fno place for it either. &M#4(B%N)D!Ö= so we will weVlcome them, Xbut they will beÆ unable to =exchanRge...



Time Sunsteen. Year first.

Tr°eesH are gSoing re*dleaf. $/K´$N(&(F"# than ot%hers anSd otheXrs don't e&ven go, b/u/t tNhey do. JRedleaf m$ay mean St"#$onewater or it mMay not, it ?is vaBriable.

*Us-But-Not* are leav/ing. It is sad buSt necessary. It will clVear our mind but dimZinish it. <

We need the *feedingroom*. It is good but it is not yet. Need obsidian. More *over* shelter for *feedingroom*. Has enough *single* rests. Build more. *Us-But-not* gone. Yet irrelevant.



Time Lumber. Year first.

More us. Us that have been lost have found themselves. It is positive. We are more, and we are greater. Has more drones. Too few workers. Possible band of drones. More minds means more mind, yet it means more *minduse*.



Time Mawnsteen. Year first.

Has *feedingroom*. It is positive. Drones *fight-but-not* a lot. It is useful.

Many trees noleaf. It is coldtime. More obsidian. Build more.

KOBOLDS!



Time Opal. Year first.

Mistake. Single *rests* were built in too-big cells. Tear down. Rebuild. Asymmetry is *loss-of-honor*. We are superior.

Build more food-add for more of us. Build *exchangeplace*.



Time Obsidian. Year first.

Year almost over. Not yet complete, never complete, always more, more, MORE!

Never pick fights with clocks~!

Build more. Single *rests* build back now. Build mugs for exchange.

Dwarves superior! Beard power!



I hesitated about making MercDraco a drone, since they're dime a dozen and likely to die. Somehow, however, they all managed to become wrestling champions in a few months. Possibly because of the cramped barracks I gave them? Hmmm... Also, queen still free. In fact, the drones are making more friends than she is, because they're always talking together in the barracks...

[Flar Moonchill]

Loving the style Boksi, making for a quality read so far!

Also:

Never pick fights with clocks~!

That line cracked me up thou I couldn't tell you exactly why! ;-)

Keep it up!

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Dweify me as well. Ill bee the queen, if that is not possible I will settle for a miner bee.
Call me Buzzy-Bob.

[Boksi]

Time Graneet. Year second.

Build. Add more. Build more, build more, bui-

ELVES!

elfes... hEre is badbaDbAdBaDBADBADBAD!!! cuRse theM, kiLl tHem, muRder mAim deStrOy!!!

No...

We need calm. Calm like cold steel, unwavering, unrelenting. Calm.

Calm...

We are the Crypt of Bends. We are unknown. We know not the *coldsleep* length we had, yet it was great. We are forgotten, perhaps. Elves seem unarmed. They recognize the sight of the hive. They may want... exchange? Yes. Possibility.

Yes. Exchange.



Time Slæt. Year second.

Has wood for few mugs.

Elves stupid. Win through masses.

Organize items. Elves leaving. Organize

Build more.

More us. It is good. Four and thirty.



Time Fellsit. Year second.

Dig to magma. Build metalworks and *sandgem* furnaces. Work more, dig more, always more, always bigger, always more, more, more...



Time Haematee. Year second.

Aluminum... Molten. Harden bars. Yes. Is pretty.

Has many cells. Build more *abovecell*.



In case you're wondering about the clock line, it was late at night and I was only staying up so I could finish the year. Symmetry, see. It's funny because it's a non-sequitur. Also, Buzzy-Bob is a strange name for a queen, but it has been done. Nobody in the beeline anymore.

[Muno syoan]

So, no elf based dwee snacks, then? The hive is acting reasonable, considering from the sound of things that they aren't exactly old friends.

All Hail Queen Buzzy Bob the Totally Friendless!

[Eldin]

Idea: Maybe when nobles show up, they add certain trains of thought.
i.e. Philosopher introduces abstract thought to the hivemind?
Also, dibs on said Philosopher dorf dwee if/when it arrives.

[Boksi]

Sure, sure. I'll try to post something tomorrow then. Still, it's a nice idea.
