Yes!

No!

I am small and neutral, like Switzerland

2:02 So tempting...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2:04 of fuck what have i dopne? What kind of idiot would make a lever drop supiorts on stuff? Oh

2:06 Scuffy has gone stark raving made. Er, one of tje Scruffies. Sertiouysly there's like 2 or

Scruffy has been miserable lately. He has suffered the travesty of art defacement. He was forced to watch his 5z magmaheated apartment complex collapse and burn.
Aww. I hoped that it would last longer. It is just too tempting NOT to place a lever on such a project.

Good turn though. So, both Scruffies are insane? One berserk inside a small wooden cage and other stark raving mad and dead?

[Naryar]

Finagle's law in action.

It's funny, though.

[vyznev]

I'm... frankly surprised that the fortress is still going. (Ok, technically the fort will survive as long as the vampire stays locked in his one-tile cell, but you know what I mean.)

[Random_Dragon]

Edited my earlier post to include the save, so yay.

I blame you for giving me prime Schmuck Bait when it's the first time I'd ever been that drunk. ;A;

The man does make a very good point, Scruffy...

on another matter I will probably take a turn Monday.

If someone doesn't kill off the fort beforehand, of course.

Too much win has happened since I last read this thread (was out of town for a week) to quote it all. Suffice to say I just spent quite a bit of time laughing reading it all

[Random_Dragon]

I'm gonna hope the next person manages a full year since I only made it to spring. Ideally without finding the hard way what any of those other levers do.

And I just realized that magma gun might backfire hilariously if it can flow through the fortifications in front of the entryway.

Also, anyone know why all the tiles were screwed up on my turn? O.o

I was using a graphics pack on my turn, those tend to mess with tiles.  (I think it was Phoebus... one of those that come with the Lazy Newb Pack, anyway.)

You could've probably fixed it by replacing the "raw" folder inside the save with the vanilla DF version.  Or by using LNP and choosing "Default ASCII" as the graphics.

Just noticed an interesting little thing.
If you sort the threads in community games & stories by the amount of views !!DRUNK FORTRESS!! is number 21 of the threads posted during the last 5 years. 21st of 2742. Just behind the wellknown megathreads

[Bobnova]

At this point it probably is a well known megathread

I'm on my way to TJ's to pick up a couple bottles of chuck, then I'll be preparing for a round tonight.

EDIT: Ok, I've popped the cork of this merlot. Because I'm a trashy drinker, I'm gonna be havign thiss tuff right out of the bottle, and will be measuring my wine intake with the rather dubious measurement of "fingers," i.e. finger width. As evidenced by the string of typos int he preiovus sentence (and this one, christ) I'm already three fingers in. The save is downloading now.

Also, I was pretty terrible about following the rules of the thread during my last turn - I'll do better this time.

EDIT 2: For my own reference, these are the curretn standing rules:

• Every single time you order a batch of booze to be made (by manager or directly in still), finish your drink. (Naryar)
• At least once per season, you must sacrifice a creature to Armok by dropping it down the chute. (Vyznev)

Uh oh. That first one could cause some trouble if I take it RAW. We'll see what happens.

Oooh, eager to see the Fun ensue. <3

Ok, here we go. I'm about four and ahalf fingers into this bottle of Charles Shaw. YOLO

7:41 - wow, what a mess. Also, there is shit everywhere just strewn everywhere. And the tlies set is odd. WHy to my plump helmets look like purple dimple cups? Everything is wrong forever. We have 467 units of alcohl left, which means I better be drinking my wine faster than the dwarves are - see the first rule, above.

We have a walled in vampire. Nice. Lots of nicknames, and none of them are DS, and that is a problem. I'll deal with that when I am more drunk than I am now, but for now, there is this little gem:



I've sent the entire fort to go colelct shit, since theres so much forbidden crap. also bins god why no bins

7:53 - Oh, there are goblins outside, may bte that's why everyone was insine. HMMMMM

7:55 - there are two entire squads of goblins riding giant bats. uh oh. everyone has been ordered inside with a new "oh god get inside" alert.

8:00 - Hm. The goblins seem content to wait at the edge of the map. They have a direct route - maybe they are having trouble pathing because of their flying mounts? in any case I am now solidly halfway through this bottle. I wil begin construction soon of something, I haven't decided yet.

8:05 - the layout of the magma sea on this map is... peculiar. Very vertical. It extends from roughly -77 to -154. I've never seen anything like this.

I obviously need to drink more.

8:25 - what kind of monster would make a lever that controls a floodgate that releases a deluge of magma into the refuse stockpile/trade depot/trap corridor? who are you? what are you? this is horrific. a dwarf died. A WHOLE DWARF

8:27 - fuck, that's not the right lever either.

8:42 - in the hopes that I might repel the goblins, I sent out the only squad we have. it ended - well, youc an see for yourself.

8:45 - the humans have showenfd (whoendf? shownfee? shonwend? fuck.) up. hopefully they will take care of the oglb ins for us. in orther news, I ams lfwmost done with my bowttle. in order to loophole the rules, I am designating a sweeping alcohol reform.



and NOW I finish my "dirnk". bottle #2 on the way. and for those of you who might be conerned for my fcurrent state, be aware that my typing is normally atterociosu when I type fastly, and thus aI am conrsquite in cgood spiitrts and health. nothign to be sawreufs fof.

8:54 - the elves came. they saw. we took all their shit.



including some awesome. animals. fuck yeah!

8:57 - oh shit! I forgot the second rule. to appease Armok, I am dropping not only the 2 creatures required for two seasons (pring and srummer) but also another, to remeedy the latencey of the srping sacrivife.

9:33 - no furhter events have occured. about athree fingers into the second bottle. I'm considering restarting my WoW accoutn, which means (as fars I'asfm sfconerend) a pretty farth fldufnkensee. jessu. that's incomprehensibel. in any case, the obglbins seige awas desdroteyed by the accuresed mist, so that's good nesws.

9:52 - as for all those awesome, aminals, I butchered them all. ALL OF THEM. GLUE FACTORY! I'm calling this the end of my turn, even though it's only haflaway trhough the year. I don't know whree anything is. I dont' knwo wnat anything does. this is a hellhole. good luck whoever comes after.

by the way, I siezed everything from the humans too, so yeah. they're pissed.

Here it is. Good luck, fuckers.

8:42 - in the hopes that I might repel the goblins, I sent out the only squad we have. it ended - well, youc an see for yourself.

Ouch. So much for that partially-filled marksdwarf squad I drafted, I'm guessing? If they weren't pathing up towards the entryway like they should, I would've suggested luring them near, then hitting that "sdeal off the front gate" lever I made and let the goblins eat bolt. o3o

In any case, seems we've officially doomed overseers to a perpetual curse of partially-finished years. ;A;

[DS]

If I recall correctly, most of those marksdwarves were killed when I inadvertently flooded the entry corridor with magma.
