Out of curiosity, is there a Skullsploder II somewhere?

Remember, Skull, your dorf died during my turn defending the fort from a gigantic ash blob forgotten beast.
He died a good death.

Great turn so far, 4maskwolf! I hope August II pulls through!
I'm pretty sure that the infection happened because one of our medical dudes gave him water from an underground pond. I discovered towards the end of my turn that there was a water source activity zone in the caverns, which dorfs were drawing water from even after the wells had been made.

I removed it after finding it, so hopefully we won't see any more infections.

If August II dies, could I get a dorf named August III? Preferably someone in the military. (The line of Augustus has a long tradition of militarism and gruesome death!)

I really have no idea why August II was a militia captain during my turn. He was that way from before, and I never had the time to mess around with that stuff. Thanks for fixing the military situation though, that's something we really needed!

What am I doing, by the way? I'm still a bookkeeper iirc, do I do anything else useful?

I just checked the save.  You're a mason/engraver.

Excerpt from the diary of 4maskwolf II, overseer of Slingblock for the year 255

24 Galena 255: The miners have been whining about lack of work recently, so I've assigned them to dig out a new burial site for the greatest dwarves of this fortress.  The masons will also be put to work creating the coffins and doors necessary for this project.

25 Galena 255: An ambush!  Curse them!

1 Limestone 255: Finally the ambushers have left.  Many good dwarves died in their attack...

4 Limestone 255: With the battle over, we have finally gotten a good count of the dead.  Among them are many of our marksdwarves and one of the last two of the original seven to found this fortress.  Dunamisdeos, legendary miner and marksdwarf recruit, was struck down in the chaos of the battle.  A day of mourning has been declared for the entire fortress in his honor.
Or not, game crashed

Excerpt from the diary of 4maskwolf II, overseer of Slingblock for the year 255

25 Limestone 255: Today I am having to deploy my squad to deal with some obnoxious troglodytes in the depths of the fortress who have been interfering with various dwarven jobs.

2 Sandstone 255: A joyous day!  New migrants have arrived at the fortress to supplement our population!  I will keep a tally of them as they arrive.

Migrants:
Cook (reassigned to fortress guard as crossbowdwarf)
Potter (reassigned to my squad as swordsdwarf)
Cheese Maker
Diagnoser (reassigned as crossbowdwarf in fortress guard)
Metalsmith
Metalsmith
Diagnoser
Stoneworker
Shearer (reassigned as crossbowdwarf militia captain)
Animal Dissector (reassigned as crossbowdwarf in fortress guard)
Engineer
Beekeeper (reassigned as crossbowdwarf in fortress guard)

7 Sandstone 255: A damn helmet snake killed one of our best stonecrafters before we were able to put it down.  This is a sad day for the fortress.

6 Timber 255: A stupid polar bear wandered into our weapon traps today.  It's a shame it couldn't have wandered into a cage trap, I would have liked a tame polar bear.

Or not, game crashed.

Welp, last two posts are non-canon.  The game crashed on me just when I was about to save and get off.

YAY SEGFAULTS

toady check your damn pointers asd

[4maskwolf]

Hey, does the next player have enough time to finish my turn?  School starts in two days and I have a ton of stuff to prepare, so I won't be able to finish this turn in any reasonable time.  I'll be able to take my turn when the next time comes around, though.

If the next player doesn't have that much time, we can just ignore what happened on my turn and move on.

That would be... checking... Evilsx.

[Chevaleresse]

If RL issues come up, just save and hand it over to the next person (in this case, Evilsx.)

I'll give you the link to the transfer save I put up a while back.

Hey KingMurdoc, could we get an update to the OP real quick?
The screencaps of the fort are a few years out of date, I was thinking we could link this map for use as a more current tour of our fort: http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-12206-slingblock

Also, could I get my Overseer Journal added to the list on the front?

[Chevaleresse]

from now on logs are going to just be linked, I hit the character cap.

The last spoiler in the op is screwed up, or rather there is an additional(broken) one around the last one.

[Chevaleresse]

i know

[Nail]

I assume it isn't on purpose. Can you tell me what you were trying to, maybe I can help.
My best guess is that you were trying to put "Original OP:" into the spoiler title, like this:

Spoiler: Hello! (click to show/hide)

How do you do?

In case it is, this is how you do it:
[spoiler=(Your title here)](spoiler content here)[/spoiler"]
