Most likely tomorrow my log will be on DFFD. I'm halfway.

Oh yes, please change my profession to "Empress", and Fire Crazy's to "Empress Consort" (If he doesn't mind), please, thank you!

Done, Your Majesty Empress of the Plump Helmet Fields:)

Dorf me as the busiest dorf so I can be a loner forever.

A loner forever? Hm... only if I wall you off. Most of fortress dwarves are partying all the time, including myself:) What about dorfing you as a soldier?

[HissinhWalnuts]

Sure can do.

[Monitor Lisard]

I updated the OP. Added HissinhWalnuts to the list and uploaded Aseaheru's, Maskwolf's and RoughRogue's biographies.

I hear that the others have a trap of sorts laid out for the king. I remember that not too long ago I was averse to the idea of revenge for being sent out here, but now... I have to confess I wonder if a king dies any differently from a goblin or a dwarf...

I remember when I used to handle trade negotiations for the lesser nobles back home, bartering and evaluating petty trinkets and baubles for them to give to the king. I wonder how he would look buried under a pile of the stuff. His hands jutting out... twitching ever more slowly as his blood seeps out between goblets and rings... Bright crimson amid the gleam of gold...

I've got a vampire in the fortress. It seems like it came with the last migration wave. I'm 85% sure who it is. What to do with the suspect? Wall him in? Crush him with the drawbridge? Let him take a walk outside (I forgot to tell ya but I'm sieged by humans & greenskins joint forces led by a dwarf engraver)?

[Grim Portent]

I favour walling vampires up.

Station the biter in a tower where bones are dropped, containing a craftsdwarf workshop, a crossbow, a bed, a weapon stand and an Archery target with channels on either side of the run.  Set him in a squad by himself to train 3 months out of every 4, "sleeping in barracks at need", then designate the walled off area as his personal barracks.  He can shoot at the target, using bone bolts he crafts himself when not training, allowing the missed bolts to drop into a room below for eventual collection.  As he will never be able to be targeted by invaders, even if the rest of the population is wiped out, he will allow the fort to "survive" until migrants can come to reclaim the fortress from whatever killed off the previous inhabitants.

With fortifications looking outside, he might be a sharpshooter in the tower breaking your sieges too.

Here I go. Year ended in the middle of the greenskin siege and the dorfs are celebrating my descension from the Overseer's chair:)

[4maskwolf]

Great. I get to start during a siege. And my dwarf is hyper aggressive.

[Grimmash]

I favor walling vamps up and making them useful, like being the bookkeeper.  Just give 'em a table and a chair.

TB's idea was a bit more thought out, and potentially more useful.

Hey Grim, can the goblins come in if they promise to keep their breastplates and boots on?

[Monitor Lisard]

This is hilarious. One can get pretty high just reading the log. 

Also, I think this old guy is not a vampire. I heard vampires can only be dubious worshippers of their deities.

Hey Grim, can the goblins come in if they promise to keep their breastplates and boots on?

Sure. Just station a couple of bouncer squads inside, drunk goblins are a quarrelsome bunch. 

[4maskwolf]

Actually, I'm not sure if that's true, but who knows.  I'll figure it out.

Time to read the log.

[4maskwolf]

Hang on, who died?

Edit:  Okay good, not me.

Also, I just looked at the fortress and can only say:
WHAT... THE... FUCK!!!!
This place is a mess.  I can't even begin to understand it.

Edit 2: SO... MANY... CHILDREN!!!

Alright, starting update:
1 Granite
Another year has come around, and with it, another change in leadership.  Only this time, they want me to be their leader.  Fantastic.
Let me give some context.  Grimmash approached me the other day after I had finished my mechanical work.
"Maskwolf!"
"Yes, Grimmash?  What is it this time?"
"There's no need for that.  You know that Roughrogue is stepping down tomorrow."
Truthfully, I didn't, but I wasn't going to say so.
"Yes, of course.  What about it?"
"Well, I came to bring you the good news!  The cabal has elected you our new leader."
I stared at him, dumbstruck.  He seemed to take this as affirmation and walked off, saying, "I'm sure you'll do fine!"
And so now I am overseer.  Great.  I know what they are doing.  They are trying to turn me into a criminal by making me the leader of criminals.  I swear, it will not work.  But right now, I must deal with the goblins.
