Hmm... Sounds exciting. I would like to sign up. However, I don't have winrar, so could you post a zipped version as well?

No problem.

Dead in under four days from a swarm of fifteen undead peach-faced lovebird-woman/man corpses.  Our miner tried to mine out a little area in the first layer but he was the second to die.  Nice embark, dude.

A suggestion to the judges: if you guys are cool with it, I think it fair to allow anyone who wants another go at this to have one.  Perhaps dock 'em points for scumming - or, if they choose to try a reclaim with just a pick and anvil, give 'em some extra points for having adamantine balls.

Bob - thanks.  I really, really like to start with dwarfs all a-scramble.  Keeps them from getting too used to being lazy.

If you'd like, I can post the worldgen to DFFD - it's made in PerfectWorldDF, so there are too many characters to just spoiler it here.

As this is a challenge, I personally see no reason for this not to be anyone's best attempt out of four hundred tries or so.  Just entertain us with your failures. :)

I didn't expect it to be quite this bad; with reports like this, I think I would have time to play after all =P

This unreasonably bloody mess is certainly entertaining. Can I give a try?

Okay, I am on my 4th try, and I am finding this very hard. I am trying to breach the aquifer using the double slit method, but I am unable to get wood due to 2 reasons: My woodcutter was killed by some snailmen, and right now there are about 10 flying wren corpses guarding my entrance. No booze, but we have water (Aquifer), and our meat from the yak is slowly dwindling. Currently, I have 2 wrestlers sparring, a Expedition leader who does all the carpentry/mason work, A farmer, and a miner. CARAVAN & MIGRANTS YOU BETTER COME QUICKLY.

I'm not voting yet because I got sidetracked by trying to learn MDF yesterday, and I have errands and stuff to do first today.  I'll probably get started tonight or this week.

I also think if we stick with the embark, let people try as many times as they want.  The only thing to consider is marking people down for reclaims as opposed to making it of a fresh start.  That way people can used whichever strategy.

My yaks keep getting killed before I can get them inside.  That means no food :(.

I'm going to just keep restarting and trying to dig into different ares to see if there is a gap in this aquifer somewhere.

Has anyone managed to get enough wood to actually try and use the double slit aquifer method?

I ask for two reasons:  First, I lose about 1-2 dwarves per wood log.  That's not going to cut it.  I need to be able to build walls dammit.  Second, I am apparently incompetent at making the double slit method work.  I'm going to practice it on an embark with a one z level aquifer, just to see if I can actually do it.
