GreatWrymSteel (sic) is one of the two sane dwarves. I don't think I'm going to update today, just because things are a little too crazy still, but one of the dwarves is dead by ghost action, which I'm pretty sure is unavoidable at this point, and the medical dwarf can't move and no one will feed him, so he's a lost cause. I've stopped people from hauling anything except corpses, and am hoping that I can mine out safe quarters before some corpse I've missed zombifies and kills everyone like the chinchilla almost did, except I got lucky and it fell off a cliff. Next step is get rid of all the ghosts.

I'm really excited to see some pics of what you've done so far.  Oh and the reason they won't move the CMD is because he needs to be moved to a hospital.  So create a hospital and stick a bed in it.  There should be plenty of them.

[TSTwizby]

Loads of beds, no one's moving them. I'll post tomorrow probably with pics of the fort and anything I manage to do. One of the other dwarves went crazy, so that's only three dwarves left, with one stuck in a permanent 'go to meeting' that I can't figure out how to cancel. No one has found time to build the bunker. Things don't look good at all.

oh my, at this rate we'll be spending more time reclaiming than actually screwing each other over...

[TSTwizby]

Well, before I stopped for the day, someone might have managed to go get a pick, though not start digging for some reason. And we still have two content unwounded dwarves and a lot of food, so if I can build bunkers of some kind and then collapse tunnels on the inevitable four zombies in the main area, we'll technically still have a now completely safe and almost completely stable fortress. Sort of. I'm not sure how many corpses in the main area are currently set to become zombies though. My current plan after digging the bunkers near an easily flooded area, and which will make more sense once I have pictures up tomorrow, is to seal off where the food is right now and part of the top soil layer so I can have food and trees and metal and soil and stone in places I can easily dig to. It really all depends on whether or not I manage to get the shelters dug in time, as the rest either provides luxuries (wood and metal) or else can be dug out whenever I want (space, stone).

Yep, the location is way too hardcore.
If we get a few more reclaims, I suggest start STNPO3 somewhere else.
And lets claim that shelter demilitarized zone and no one should do any harm to their inhabitants. Violation of this rule leads to rollback to previous save.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Woah, my dwarf is STILL alive?

[TSTwizby]

I think so. You lucked out.

[jesternario]

I'm sorry, I stopped paying attention three pages back. Who's turn was it? (note: obvious bump statement. please no hate )

[jesternario]

If we get a few more reclaims, I suggest start STNPO3 somewhere else.

As a spectator with no talent in mechanisms whatsofreaking ever, I agree. It's no fun if you guys 'n gals can't go Machiavellian on each other.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Thirded. I'll take the third turn of StNPOIII.

EDIT: Because my dwarf is alive and the ending-credits-song from Portal is stuck in my head...well, I've got a few lines, but give me a sec, I'll be back. And by the time I am, my dwarf will likely be dead, but meh.

[Ifeno]

For now let's keep going.  I think this place is settelable although I'm not sure we haven't already missed that window.  Like Pere said, let's wait a few more re-claims.

If there IS a StNPO 3, I will take anyone who hasn't gotten their turn yet and start with them, taking any re-turners and newcomers on the end.  Just to ensure the people who signed up already aren't cheated out of their turns.

But for now let's see if we can salvage this.  We're only on turn 5 so it's a tad early to give up...

[GreatWyrmGold]

Fair enough.

Found engraved on a wall in the mines:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This was a triumph.
I’m making a note here: SMALL SUCCESS.
It’s hard to understate
my stupefaction.
StNPO
We do what we must
although we can’t.
For the good of all of us.
Except for all the undead.

But there’s no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
Till you meet your bad fate.
And the mining gets done
and make a magma gun
to protect those who are
still alive.


I’m not too terrified.
I’m being insincere right now.
I know that zombies will break my skull
and kill me.
And tear me to pieces.
With every piece thrown into magma.
And as they burn, I’ll hurt because
I was so happy for us!
Now these walls of stone, they
make a beautiful wall.
And we’re out of terror.
We’re safe for a short time.
I’m so SaD. I got burned
Think of all we could have learned
if only we were all
still alive.


Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you’ll find someone else
to save you.
Maybe the goblins…
THAT WAS NO JOKE. There is a chance.
Anyway, my quest is great.
I must avenge my brothers.
Look at me still talking
when there’s Vengeance to do.
When I look out there,
it makes me wish I was you.
I’ve my brothers to avenge.
Or I’ll be haunted to my end
by those me’s who are not
still alive.


And believe me, I am still alive.
I’m getting vengeance, for now, still alive.
I feel fatalistic and I’m still alive.

While I’m dying you’ll be still alive.

When I’m undead you will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE.

Most carvings match writing patterns of GreatWyrmSteel, with certain parts matching that of certain deceased members of the fortress and part in an unknown hand.

[jesternario]

Then let the Machiavellian scheming commence!

And GreatWyrm, you almost got that song stuck in my head! Fortunately, I was listening to Hatsune Miku at the time, so I don't have to hear GlaDOS in my head all night.
