Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

At this point, I don't care who takes the save or when or why as long as they're willing and able to haul through their turn without being sidetracked by canoe trips, bad connections, shiny objects, and/or stone-cold laziness.

[Lolfail0009]

Very well. I'll power through the first bit for now.
Should I start at the end of Splint's reign or the end of Tahu's?

If it's inconvenient/an imposition on your time until the midweek I can handle it and kind of want to (sorry, I'm just a bit gunshy of last time you tried to go >_<)

And honestly I'd say pick up from mine if you really are hell bent on doing it, since Tahu provided no updates or even sort-of explained what the hell went on other than a battle death.

[Mr Frog]

Advice to Lolcats for avoiding a repeat of last time: Use your spare time wisely. Unless your schedule is literally packed wall-to-wall with no breaks, you should be able to squeeze in a half hour or so a day to play a bit, which is infinitely-more than zero hours a day.

E: I still think it'd be hilarious to pick up from Tahu's save, but I guess it'd be kind of hard to reconcile in-story

[Lolfail0009]

Splint, you can have the reins if you want.

I'll be too busy taking Mr Frog's advice (Yes, advice, not rant) to heart and focusing more on my construction and refinement of characters.

[Splint]

Alright then. I'll get us rolling ASAP then. Here's the first entry for our wonderful funderful new overseer, Savero Omermorul, Stonecrafter.


1st Granite, 211

I can't believe this... I've been given the helm of the fortress in the yearly hat drawing... Is the Duke insane? Is he sober? Did that little tart of a bodyguard of his whack him too hard with a hammer? I don't know the first thing about this sort of business, I'm a stonecrafter for Armok's sake! Giving someone of my standing this job is like giving some tree loving water drinker control of a steel foundry in the capital!

And to make matters worse they all seem to expect ME to call all the shots when we have all these strange magic people coming and going as they please on top of all our other problems! I think our leadership has finally decided it's done trying anymore if I'm the one they have doing this job.

We have three damned monstrosities in the caverns, some of which these wierdos in black and white apologized for no less several spawn as prisoners and claims of some magic cure for spawn fever. It's madness!

-there appears to be a break in the writing, as the words seem to scribble off as if the writer were alerted by something.-

The Duke just dropped off a whole host of copied journal entries maps. Or more dumped three crates of papers on my bed and said "Good Luck, Savero." Dear gods... HOW DID ANYONE RUN THIS PLACE!?

[Mr Frog]

No comments? Really? :V

I must say, I heartily approve of the decision to introduce a new character to serve as the Overseer instead of using Splint again. Should be interesting.

[Aseaheru]

I like it.

Honestly I just picked a dwarf at random out of the citizen list.

[Aseaheru]

Best way.

Sorry, I was asleep.

But yeah, I like it! It's a fantastic idea - by now Splint (character) is a little mentally tired from his trials and tribulations, so he wouldn't make the best overseer anyway.

[Splint]

Given his last term ended with Awl dead and a few others grievously injured....

[Splint]

Here thread, have an update.

That stupid prat put out a mandate for ballista arrows. Why. WHY.

Gods... I've been going over these copied papers and whatnot and I am positive that 90% of the dwarves who've had any sort of authority position are actually completely bonkers and just haven't lapsed into the "babbling" stage of insanity yet.

I've lived here for just short of three years now and I've never actually noticed just how big a mess this place is. We don't even have enough workers to do damn near anything! And we get a work order for fuck all ballista arrows.

Someone found one of Colonel Fischer's mutts dead beside her bed. According to Codyorr it looks like she died in her sleep.

Not really sure why he felt the need to tell me to be honest though.

7th Granite, 211

No-Hair and Ironheart had a son today. Not shocked really, she'd been showing for some time now. Kid looks weak, but I'm sure time will change that; if not he'll have strong neck muscles at least since he was born with a damned pile of hair bolted to his skull. Evidently they have some odd naming patterns because they named him Much-Hair.

Weirdos.

An elf diplomat showed up and the black-whites buggered off real quick to avoid causing  "undue alarm" or some such nonsense. They're holed up in the Iron Palace right now.

-

I went to check on how negotiations were going with the tree fondler and guess what? The redhead threw a dead elf out of the duke's office. Said the Duke didn't feel like talking to the uppity little barkeater and had one of those two big fellows squash her head. Said he wanted someone to come with a bucket and some rags to mop up the mess too.

Apparently this one the Parasol workers had nothing to do with. Dauros was informed and has marched his holly jolly ass down to kick its ugly face in.

Did I mention I hate this place journal? Not sure if I did. I wish we could go longer than a month without some freakish abomination to Armok showing up or some other crazy shit.

[Lolfail0009]

I approve of this overseer!
Way better than what I would have written...

[Splint]

So does that mean Savero (And by extension I) am doing a good job?
