ah you mean the placing training spears all over in the upright position and making the military ppls step on them? yes thats fine, just make sure they have helmets, I heard those training spears can get lucky and stab brains without protection.

i approve of danger room for captain mountainhomes, because he's a supersoldier.
but not regular soldiers because they are not superheroes.
that is my oppinion

well the other soldiers would use it too, despite relative lack of superness, it would still just use training spears so it shouldnt be TOO potentially fatal... also you could put a certain depth of water in to have them train swimming (I forget the safe depth) but before any of this happens Captain MUST be trained using a screw pump constantly to make his attributes truly superdwarven.

Are you sure this is the place?
Well of course it is I have the map right here.
Okay it’s just that it kind of looks like a volcano.
That’s because it is.

Well have fun and I hope your internship goes well.
Yeah thanks.

As I walk towards the volcano… I start to wonder if maybe it should have send my letter to somebody else. Then again BFEL was the only one who answered.
After a long climb I finally found the entrance.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCKKKKKKSSSSS
Dear amok I can still go back.
Aah you must be the new overseer.
Uuhm yeah you answered my letter so here I am.
Great let me give you a tour.

While BFEL gives me a tour I noticed some things.
First: we have 1 stockpile for everything, seems to be a little strange.
Second: we don’t have enough bedrooms, there are a few but they seem a bit too big.
Third: we have 3 giant farm plots which with only 15 dwarfs seems a bit too much.
Well at least we have a almost done dining hall with lots of statues but no chair or table’s.

So now that you know the fort it’s time to give orders.
Yeah okay, wait what?
Yeah you’re the overseer now.
Yeah you said something about that in the letter but I am not sure what you mean by that.

I mean will I be overseeing something like a workshop?

Or the farms?

Please don’t tell me I will be overseeing the stockpile because I can’t really give orders to people, I am kind of bad at that.

What?

Is there something on my face?




You’re the new leader here.
What?
You’re the boss, the leader, the overseer.
You’re kidding right? Please tell me your kidding.
No I am not and if you need me I will be in my room hiding for what is to come.

Melkor’s log 1st  granite
Dear log.
I am utterly fucked. The internship letter that i send and got a answer on is apparently not a internship but a job.
I am the leader  (or overseer) and it is my job now to keep this place safe.

Well first thing first, we need a broker, a manager and a bookkeeper
Well i can be the manager and the bookkeeper but i am not going to be the broker. No why no how.

Melkor’s log 2th granite
These job names are confusing i am going to change them more to my taste.
I am also ordering a new stockpile to be dig out.
We also need more tables and chairs for our dining hall.

Melkor’s log 12th slate
Some migrants arrived…. And with some I mean 15, well they will be needed to get this place up and running. Now we are 30 strong

Melkor’s log 25th slate
Things are going pretty good. We have a stockpile, almost enough tables and chairs in the dining hall, planning better bedrooms for everybody and a skink….. wait  what?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)



Aaaand its gone. Uhm guys you mind want to cancel that pull lever order.
Okay let’s get this straight. A humanoid skink walks to our doorstep, a few seconds later he transforms back into a human and just disappears.
Seems like a victory to me.

I'm guessing the rocks scared it away... bahaha. :P That's awesome. I've never had such a close call without stuff happening before.

And you really might want to get people training.



EDIT: Oh, and... :D

but... that's cheating!
meh whatever do it
It's not so much "cheating" as "exploits"... Which is frowned on by some, and embraced by others. The danger rooms are included in this category. Myself... I'm usually against them, and rarely ever make one of my own. However, the potential for accidental Fun from that, and the swimming room, is so high, I feel it balances it out this time. I've accidentally drowned my dwarves many times trying to teach them to swim.

YAY UPDATE!!! LOLed pretty hard at the wereskink thing...think you could post some more screenshots? I kinda wanna see what the forts looking like now. Also for future reference dorf!BFEL wouldn't be composed enough to do that, you should prob use Captain Mountainhomes for conversation if you need to, seeing how he's actually....y'know SANE :P Anything involving BFEL would just come out like "IKILL ROCKS...DEFILETHEMBODIES....MAKEPRECIOUS HEHEHEHEHE" But other then those pointless criticisms you did well, it was kinda funny that the temple is now the dining hall, Battledigger probly isn't too thrilled but as long as you give him enough +Puppy Tallow Biscuits+ he should be fine XD

I guess an update per day isn't bad. And since the day isn't over, he still has more time. I'm interested in how things will turn out.
