A tower to the sky!

A ridiculously complex trapped entrance!

A ginormous constructed somethingorother!

A monstrous terraforming project!

An ostentatious display of golden wealth!

A giant building in the shape of a Toad, in honour of ToadyOne!

Candy everything!

Exclamation point! (My idea will be posted below)

Be careful with the olm removal. If you DO get it down, then you'll have a building destroyer loose. It might just sort of leave because the siege it came with died actually. Or it might get into the fort defences and cause havoc that way. Or just get executed by a weapon trap. The olm is mystery incarnate. It can do anything, once released from its temporal prison...

As with Schroedinger's Cat I propose this Olm is  dubbed the "Arcvasti's Olm"^^ Anyone against?

I say NAY that will be called the lizard dog!

Ok, I tried but I do not get the joke, sadly.... care to elaborate? PM me if you do not wish to spoil the thing to others^^

I think we should set up a mechanism to end Arcvasti's Olm - eventually. Also we should forbid anydwarf to check on the olm's status. Maybe by building an inpenetrable box or something

Unless it's done before my turn I will do it^^ As long as the Olm lives anyway^^

Wait that was a joke, I thought you were being random. 

[exodius1]

What, you never heard about Schroedinger's Cat? I thought Arcvasti made a good comparison to that experiment so I proposed to call this one after him^^ Also, I almost never am random^^

[Larix]

The tree olm is absolutely not a fitting fortress mascot. This thing is a severe danger to our very existence. When you have ~20 (perhaps 25 with the migration wave) adult dwarfs, and the mere presence of this beast is liable to get ten of those stranded far outside the gates twitching back and forth, getting dangerously thirsty and unhappy _everytime anyone tries to pick up anything around there_, a half-hearted kobold ambush could topple what's left of the fort.

De-arborate that abomination with extreme prejudice, the sooner the better. If the human caravan brings a crossbowman or two who can shoot this sucker down, they deserve a commemorative statue.

[exodius1]

we can use the restriced traffic zones around it and forbid any items near that area, that should solve the problem. you sound very aggessive, proposing to commemorate soldiers, some may think that you are trying to bring the military back^^

[CaptainMcClellan]

A turn, please.

[Larix]

Welcome! You've been added to the list.

Do you want a dwarf with that? Mind, the situation's a bit volatile right now, which makes the life expectancy of newly-named beards suspect; and also accounts for the currently very low number of named dwarfs.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Yes, but please wait until things calm a little. Ringo McClellan. Or just "Ringo". He prefers a middle-class crafting job, jewelry if possible. He's also ok with mechanic, but doesn't like that as much due to the responsibility and the physical labor required in maintaining traps.

20th of felsite

today i heard some of the adults talking about using cat-a-pults and baristas to nock off the tree olm

Olin is really sad cus' she don't have anybody. she hasn't eaten or drunk anything.

20th of felsite

I'm having some of the dwarfs move some beds down deeper so that we can make the dorm down here better

also it is time to flood the field there too

also also why did we go somewhere with no metal ores?

6th of felsite

hmm the fort isnt happy enough. maybe we could make a waterfall in or near the meeting hall!

just need to find a place to make it

11th of malachite

Migrants!
we place a floodgate to block the second entrace, but it can open now.

27th of malachite

I got it! i can use waterwheels to power pumps to pour water on the waterwheels to power the waterfalls!


we are also moving more workshops down there

11th of gelena



another reason for the cave defense we are making

13th of gelena

humans are here! and they are atacking The Scary Tree Olm!

SOON WE WILL BE FREE OF ITS TIR-AN-EE

oh and some one broke the switch to turn off the auto-smasher

14th of gelena

oops we smashed some of them

The Scary Tree Olm is dead! YAY


now we need to turn off the smasher

6th of limestone

life is getting better.


OOC: this will likely be my last post till wendsday. I got some essays to write.

Yes yes yes!

also also why did we go somewhere with no metal ores?

OOC - i think this was part of the premise, doing with little or no local wealth. PS. on the other hand, VOLCANO. With sand and clay.

11th of gelena

Giant bear with azure hair? And a _square_ _shell_? ... Pye, was being overseer not enough? Now you gotta go and design the forgotten beasts, too! Erm, I mean...

Yes, that's a beautiful beastie you invented there. Nice and colourful.

The Scary Tree Olm is dead! YAY

Hooray! Three cheers for our involuntary auxiliary troops! We'll drink to their health (but of course, stinky humans aren't invited to attend the party).

now we need to turn off the smasher

[ooc] I think it's still operated by my two-minecart toggler. You could simply smash the windmill if nothing else helps. Anyway, i suggest engraving a slab for the damn tree olm once dead citizens are provided for, just to commemorate its contribution to our troubles.

[danmanthedog]

NOOOOOOOOO NOT THAT FB!!! Thats the FB that killed my 7 year fort in the same world as charmcrafted! It caused my dwarfs beer to exploded leaving me defenseless against a giant dingo (i think) That would kick the heads of my dwarfs!
