There's a mistake on the poll. There should be an option for "HELL YES", and it should have the only vote that matters.

I approve this message.

We don't have any special challenges outstanding, so I will put one up.

Sparkgear XIII: The Silent Youtube Video

Objective: Make a silent video of important and unimportant events in the fortress during your turn. You can but do not need to make it black and white, sepia, and include special effects relevant to the era. You should include intertitles and inappropriate music. Tantrum spiral? Overture to the Barber of Seville. Dragon attack? Moonlight Sonata. The music should be out of copyright, and if possible the recording should be showing signs of age. Feel free to compose your own music. You are encouraged to claim your 24 bonus hours of drunkenness or inebriation, but if you do so please leave a note during the recording when this starts.

If you are going to attempt this challenge, please let us know. You do not have to post the video right when your turn finishes. Putting together and editing a video requires some time and maybe some sobriety.

Required: Ability to record dwarf fortress onto a video. Ability to make, edit, and post a youtube video.

Things are very seldom what they seem. In my experience, they’re usually a damn sight worse.

I can disclose I am already looking for good embark sites for Sparkgear XIV. We're going to need them when the fortress falls.... unless the next release of Dwarf Fortress comes out and version compatibility is broken.

Well...  I'm not usually one to report events in a game, but this is an exceptional circumstance.  I made a squad containing eight archers, and a squad containing 2 melee class dwarves.  Everything was going well, and then a goblin ambush struck.  Thinking that six goblins were no match for my glorious army, I commanded them to charge.  About after the fourth person in my military fell without killing a single goblin, I realized that I forgot to assign them weapons, armor...  Anything really.  Aghast that I just sent ten dwarves to their deaths, I sat back and watched.  They killed four of the goblins when *gasp* another ambushing party!!!  After that the dwarves were just slaughtered.  Currently I have the rest of the dwarven population hiding behind the wall and moat I made for them.

As I was saying....... how many dwarves dead? What about named dwarves?

Ten dead from the army, and Female Caligula SquashorbExiled Ex-Usurper King decided to run away from the burrow into the thick of the goblins, (all on her own, of course.  I had NOTHING to do with it  ;) )so the Ex-Usurper King is officially dead.

Edit:
Also, I forgot to mention that a huge wave of migrants showed up right when the goblins did as well as a human caravan.

Titus Drake cannot die! He was likely researching spiders or something when this all happened.

There's a pretty nasty tantrum spiral coming out of this, too...
I might make a hammerer to deal out justice.

If the fort goes into an unrecoverable state this early (i.e. fails), we should:

1) revert to the previous save.
2) reclaim.
3) start a new fort.

I think its too early for 2) or 3).

Also does the dwarven justice system even work now with tantrum spirals?

I definitely wouldn't call it unrecoverable yet...

Make Titus Drake the hammerer, for a bit he will be part of the Ordo Hereticus (Killing the threat within). Also he isn't hiding in the storage room...he decided that due to the circumstances he should take summary of the supplies...
