Advising the dwarves while they build the fortress is very different from ordering them to produce a personal lavish tomb and bedroom. Whatever power you have, you are most certainly abusing.

"Lavish?" I suppose I was the one who asked for an adamantine sarcophagus, table, and throne? No, wait, I asked for a simple coffin and coffer made from a lovely red stone. And some metal bars.
And a coffin which you will inhabit if you keep up your hypocrisy.

Yes but I was trying to secretly break the law, while you are publicly displaying your intentions and trying to pass them off as legitimate.

Wait, just to be clear, secretly breaking the law is better than trying to do break the law in public?

[tomio175]

Metal Puncher Tomio has made a mandate. (or whatever.)

Tomio has demanded the following:

Three magma forges (0/3)
Six magma smelters (0/6)

You are not allowed to mandate anything before you got a sig!

I request:

Emergency obsidianizer in Donuts' quarter/office/whatever he stay in

[GreatWyrmGold]

*Create hammering list*
*Put MrWillSauce everywhere on it*
*Make it a note in my room*

So, pretty much a note in my room saying: Hammering list: MRWILLSAUCE X9001

>Locate list
>Destroy list
>Ask if Donuts has a legitimate claim against Willsauce
>If yes, allow hammering. Once. Probably.

He is a criminal. Faking is a crime! He didn't even get punishment. Please, at least just lock him out in the snow for a week or something! Or just a tiny little training hammer beating?

Can you limit it to a single punch in public?

OVERRIDDEN. Obsidianizers waste perfectly good furniture. Let me draw up something...

[GreatWyrmGold]

GreatWyrmHematite has submitted a carving!

"The Room of Seas," a slate slab.
This is a slate slab. All craftdwarfship is of average quality. It is shaded in dimple dye.
On the object is an image of a pressure plate, a door, and a hatch in slate. The pressure plate is linked to the door and hatch. This image relates to the drowning of accused criminals in the near future.
On the object is a a an image of a tank in dimple dye. The tank is full of water. On the object are words in slate. The words are crudely drawn.

Spoiler: Pic (click to show/hide)

Written Proposal:
We should construct a bedroom, engraved with fine images and adorned with lovely furniture. There will be two statues and a pressure plate in between, such that a dwarf can only reach the bed by stepping on the pressure plate. The pressure plate will be linked to a hatch in the ceiling and to the door, such that stepping on the plate causes the room to be sealed off and flooded. The bedroom will be assigned to any dwarf in need of execution.

[mastahcheese]

Couldn't we just link the hatch to a lever, burrow a victim elf-lover criminal into the room and lock the door?

Yes, except there wouldn't be any drowning or carp involved. That's just not dorfy enough!

[mastahcheese]

There would still be drowning, it's just that if the hatch/door is pressure plate operated, then yes, normal dwarves wouldn't go in there, but a new migrant, trying to find a proper room to claim, might.

Extra benefit!
Alright, let's out it to a vote of the citizens...Shall we use proper parliamentary procedure?
I move to the previous question.

OOC Notice to everyone (and anyone asking for updates):
I have 100 hours to finish off a major assignment. There will be no updates until then, but here's a teaser image for what's coming next for the fort:



There are two keywords in that announcement that almost every overseer wants to hear BTW

Wall of dorfing requests:

Lovely fort you have going on here, even the wilddead are nice! I might see about getting dorfed...I'd like to be a hunter, but that would be suicide at best (if a hunter 'kills' undead animals, will they bring back the remains?). Maybe a dwarf with some hunting skill, but turned off for now...yes, that would be an idea. Call him/her Kirby.

Also, there appears to be an issue with the images for updates on page...huh. I just checked and I guess they're normal now. Never mind then.

We have a couple of hunters, I can dorf you as one of them and let you know who you get in the next update.

I believe they will haul hunted corpses back to the butchers. Although we have a self raising biome, there is a significant lag between death and reanimation, and so we should be able to safely butcher any undead ice wolves. All I'd have to do is to relocate the butchers and tanners nearer to the entrance and we should be able to get some fresh undead meat.

As for the images, I think that's because I was reorganising pictures into albums in photobucket, so some of the links would have broken. I'll try and fix those.

Hmm...  what this fort could use is some surface section, but that's AFTER we get an obsidian production underway...  nothing like a fairly dark tower to fit with the terrifying surroundings!

As for dorfing, I'll take a dorf if possible.  (Chances are good I'll be a XXdwarf corpseXX by the end of dorfing #1, but eh...)

We could do an ice citadel on the surface. This fort is run in 0.34.07 (mainly because that was the version I had when I saw the challenge), so ice is plentiful.

I'll dorf you and let you know who you get in the next update.

This fortress is thriving in a Terrifying Biome? Lovely.

Dwarf me, if you wish, as a female, preferably military.

And are unfortunate accidents applicable to your mandaters?

Thriving.. kinda - we're getting migrants now
We have a couple of female dwarves with military skills, I can dorf you as one of them and let you know who you get in the next update.

As for unfortunate accidents, they shouldn't happen.. not yet

Wall of other requests:

The pressure plate will be linked to a hatch in the ceiling and to the door, such that stepping on the plate causes the room to be sealed off and flooded.

We can always include a door in the design and forbid the door under normal circumstances. When the room needs to be used, designate the bedroom and unlock the door to the bedroom.

I could.. facing undead ice wolves that might be sufficient punishment

Overseer is not that mean.. not yet

Metal pumpstack from the sea to the surface!

And make a ring of fire around the fort? This might be viable.

I request:
 Some wolf meat to be imported from mountainhome.
 a good weapon and armor.

Will do the import request when the next dwarven caravan rolls around. As for weapons and armour, forging should be able to start soon, as we have steel already.

I request a lever in my personal bedroom that opens/closes the front gates.

A lever to open and close the willow door standing between us and the outside world? Hmmm.. why not?

Can I request something? I would like a helm, so that way I would be less likely to die.

One steel helm, on the way.

[inspiredsimji]

Oh, this is an interesting game! I'd like to request a dorfing, name: Inspiredsimji, profession: Bookkeeper (is that still available? If not, I'll take a mason.)

[GreatWyrmGold]

GreatWyrmHematite has mandated the production of certain goods.

Lever controlling outside gate in bedroom (0/1)
Lever flooding passageway to private quarters without flooding private quarters (0/1)
Chamber containing plump helmet spawn and a farm plot, sealed via locked door and connected only to quarters (0/1)

I have a feeling that once the gates can be opened by a clumsy, sleepy roll of a fellow dwarf, things will go to Hell.

Fine!
Also, guess it is "Weaponsmith" and "Fey mood"? That means legendary weaponsmith = masterwork candy swords!

Assuming you have wafers.
Also you will have to monitor them and forbid all the crap items when they take them to the workshop.
