Perhaps we shouldn't delve too deep into questions like that. Dwarf Fortress inspires plenty of insanity as it is. Poke the dragon at your own risk, I always mutter to myself.

[ORCACommander]

*pales*

if things don't goto shit get that dragon into the danger room

[falafelsandwich]

Wow.  What a turn!

Make sure you don't build the well 100 z-levels deep, as it will take a VERY long time to get the water.

[ORCACommander]

do we even have to pump the water for the well? i remember hearing that all you needed was the well over the water and the z level did not matter. although this would be a good safety measure to keep a flying forgotten beast from flying up the well

[falafelsandwich]

You can totally have a well that deep; however when a dwarf goes to gather water the bucket has to go down each Z-level individually (I think it's the same as walking speed), then all the way back up.  Totally works as a temporary measure, but a big time waster in the long term.

You can actually watch the bucket going down and back up when a dwarf is using the well.

[Ozarck]

Oh, so, instead, what? Make a pond closer to the level of the fortress?

[ORCACommander]

make a cistern on a high level that the pump stack dumps into.  easy enough

[TokimiDwarfy]

Dwarf me plox! :3 as a insanely crazy Sword dwarfwoman Who likes to cut things and has a strange love for flying things...Even flying body parts.

[TokimiDwarfy]

Oh I have all the time in the world XD. Reading through this one amuses me greatly. But any military dwarf will work for me

[ORCACommander]

that just means he is put on a waiting list or maybe drafted seeing as how most of the military is interred.

[falafelsandwich]

THREE CHEERS FOR CMEGA!

Seriously, that was an epic year.

[falafelsandwich]

Auquathug WHERE ARE YOU

[Sumyunguy]

Hopefully Aquathug will appear soon before the turn defaults to me. If not, it might take a day or so for me to get to my desktop to run the save as my net-book would catch fire if I tried to run something so CPU intensive like DF. 

I will PM Aquathug to try and get his attention.

[falafelsandwich]

You should be fine, it's not like we have a pumpstack or dragons or anything

[Ozarck]

Or a Roc, or forgotten beasts. Whatever happened to those vampire fellows? They could have come in handy.
