How would our community be defended? I'm in favor of trap spamming and a superweapon to use against sieges. We wouldn't want to send anyone out to fight unless they volunteered for it, right?

Well, if you must. I still get my crafting workshop, right?
Yes, of course. And if you get a mood, I'll be downloading runesmith to make you lose it and be eligible for another one, as per your request. :P

Ninja'd:
TALVEINO, where did you get the SOH, I been looking for a week.
Spearbreakers is set in the Boatmurdered/Headshoots/Syrupleaf universe (and yes, we found ways to overcome the problem of the trigger-happy narrator). As a result, we're under attack from the Spawn of Holistic, with a couple twists that allow us to make use of Toady's new interactions. Mr Frog redesigned them to work well with the current version (he's pretty good), and Splint and I tested them before we started the succession game. Thus, I have access. I think Splint is planning on releasing them to the public after Spearbreakers falls, but I could ask if I could get you a copy early, if you'd like. No guarantees, though. :P

Ninja'd five times.
Someone would end up stubbing their toe and complaining that it hurt.

By the end of the week, enough SCIENCE would have been performed that we'd know exactly how much pain will be cause upon stubbing the toe in specific ways, and will have found both the most and least painful way to stub one's toe.

Also, there would be a LOT of stubbed toes.
Have no fear, Doctor, toes have been stepped on quite frequently.

I hope we started in a subtropical (preferably island) setting. I can't stand camping in the cold. I've also spent most of my life either living on islands or mountains, and I'd feel uncomfortable without access to beaches.
Subtropical? We did. Sorry about the lack of beaches, though. I suppose by strategically assigning animals to pastures, we could create an artificial beach by the stream, though - we have plenty of sand (we could also just make unpaved roads). But we have mountains - a nice, tall one, too.

How would our community be defended? I'm in favor of trap spamming and a superweapon to use against sieges. We wouldn't want to send anyone out to fight unless they volunteered for it, right?

Super late post: Spartan rushers.
Are you volunteering? 'Cause that's totally an option now, if that's how you want to go out.

Honestly, to prevent casualties as much as possible, I'm all for turtling whenever enemies come and sending out the migrants. When everybody is friends with everybody (besides a few scattered grudges), tantrum spirals are dangerous things.

Thanks, KodKod, you're awesome.

I know, I'm the best thing to ever happen.

KodKod, can I come out of the scorpion pit yet?

If you are in any position to ask whether or not you can come out of the scorpion pit then you were never in the scorpion pit to begin with.

Super late post: Spartan rushers.
I respectfully disagree, as I favor crossbow guerillas more. Manufacturing a crossbow and a stack of bolts(three logs, one chunk of metal ore) is cheaper than manufacturing a spear and a shield(four logs, two chunks of metal ore) for a spartan rusher, with crossbows being easier to learn and deadlier in the hands of an average basement-dweller than a spear.

Arming every civilian with a crossbow and metal bolts should be our fort's very first step to a combat-worthy militia. Only when everyone in the fort has an easy-to-use, lethal weapon, we can start utilizing danger rooms and train spartan rushers.

Duel-wielding crossbow gorillas of death? :P

Perhaps they need small ballistae to fire...

Oh snap.

This could be the undoing of the fortress - the fort climate.

I bloody love the cold, hot and humid climates get to me.

I thought this was lolworthy... Should I ignore it or include it in the story?

I'm the exact same way. Fortunately, we're in a very pleasant cross between tropical and temperate, without that much moisture in the air. Your forecast for the next week would be something like brightly sunny skies with cool breezes from the west - if we had advanced weather equipment. I can guarantee at least one of us knows how to throw some homemade instruments together, though.

*tolerates cold better than hot as well*

*Knows how to build rudimentary airconditioning and refrigeration*

That said... underground is always 52F. Nice and cool.
