3rd Slate, 510

Today is the day when Strategia has been found dead. The fact she was dead was pretty obvious for a good week now, but nobody bothered report it until there suddenly was a corpse in the dining room generating miasma. I love this fortress.

In other news, I have recruited Gizogin as an aide; while she won't be of much use when doing the nonexistent paperwork with that hand existence problem of hers, it's nice to have a loyalist for once. Perhaps more will come later? I will make sure that the next migrant wave is screened properly. If they come. Construction of an adamantine statue has been ordered, we'll place it at the main gates and it should work just fine. It's like biscuits of dwarven beer and syrup for a child.

As part of raising my legitimacy as this fortresses supreme ruler, I have just about halted every non-essential task and set my sights on ensuring the caverns are properly walled off, the more frequented areas smoothed, and statues erected. We had our primary staircase wide open, apparently secured by a door that was jammed by a corpse of something-or-another. Area turned into small cavern observation deck, already appreciated by a so-called Fath despite not being fully furnished.

A new well is currently under construction, featuring four separate shafts, a high-and-low pressure input area, and for the moment, nothing else. The chief medical dwarf cites hygienic issues related to the water at the bottom of the previous shaft going stale as a primary reason.

That is much for a month, and just enough. We've got what, only a year? to abolish this darned custom. I will be speaking with my comrades from the Rags of Breath soon, and later with the Baron. Soon we shall know results.

Oi, guys, why is the thread dead all the sudden? And when was the last time the TV tropes page was updated?

Blame the holidays. Blood and gore and zombies just isn't in the Christmas spirit :P

Quick, someone get a vampire over here. I think we finally got ThatAussieGuy.


Anyway, I think that a break until around 4 or 5 of january is needed.

Well, what a delicious trainwreck we have here.

Requesting dorfing, as I have absolutely no illusions about my lack of ability to keep a fort like this running.

Balnash (M) or Balna (F), speardorf and brewer, if possible.

Cheers, and keep up the good work, I'll be watching and adding bits of flavor if I arrive at this hellhole.

Wait, we're turning Aussie into a vampire? I don't want no vamps in this fort. They Killed My Father.

Looks like I have to change my password!

Nope, definitely didn't discredit "blood and gore and zombies" as "un-christmas-y." Especially since it would be rather hypocritical given the trail of death and destruction I left in my wake throughout various video games. None of which were competetive FPS games, except maybe Halo 4. And then half of the blood and corpses were mine. I'm terrible at competetive games.

I didn't say that. What I meant is that if we have any shot at killing TAG, it's by draining all his blood.

Are you sure that's necessary? I mean, it's already been a week since we last heard from him.

College calculus blah blah, it's called copypaste and it takes 5 seconds.

It's been two months since he made that request.
I won't make any excuses for this one. I simply outright missed it and it fills me with shame.

I opened up the Unread Replies page and saw that you were the last poster. I got scared. Something about you posting scares me, ever since Failcannon.

Tanto and cloth? I think you mean magma floodgate and lever. We are Dwarves after all.

alright guys i pretty much ruined a whole z-level

and the "shit let's make a flash update" thing isn't happening, glad i didn't even announce it

4th Hematite, 510

A child just happened to withdraw from society. And hijack a craftdwarfs workshop nobody used.

And then our BaronCOUNT barricaded himself in the old well for whatever inane reason.

Adamantine statue cancelled due to Gizogin being Armokdamned proactive about making sure there's enough cloth for suturing, just about sabotaging the ore-to-wafer process.

Presidential Cave Cascade Program currently being processed. On that note, we recently had a kobold thief. Its blood makes for good ink, they say, I don't think it's any better than a dog's.

You should try Chivalry.
Then you could *REALLY* paint the world red with your own corpses and entrails!  ;D
