Once upon a time, seven dwarves set out with a great dream: to build a massive OPPRESSION TOWER for the ages, an OPPRESSION TOWER that would stand as a monument to their success even after their inevitable demise.  Who they would be oppressing, none could agree on, but they knew that someone needed to be oppressed, and they were just the dwarves to do it.

Alright, plain and simple succession fortress inspired by a concept in a thread that no longer exists and the forum game based on it.  Some people were building Dermonster an OPPRESSION TOWER using ASCII art, and I thought "why not, let's make a fortress where we build the greatest OPPRESSION TOWER anyone has ever seen"

What is an OPPRESSION TOWER, you ask?  Well, that's really up to you.  Are you oppressing your poor dwarves?  The goblins who come to invade you?  All that is required is that it must be impressive, oppressive, and preferably can be lived in.

Feel free to create your own OPPRESSION TOWERs outside of this game's structure and post the saves in this thread, along with a description, for others to look at.

So, without further ado, let's get building.

Spoiler: The Rules (click to show/hide)

1. You must say you are picking up your turn within two days of the save being posted or your turn will be skipped.
2. Turns last for one in-game year.
3. You have up to two weeks to complete your turn, and if a week goes by without you posting in the thread when you have the turn your turn will be skipped.
4. You may request new turns, but preference will be given to those who have not had a turn yet.
5. EVERY player MUST make additions to the tower to make it more spectacular and oppressive.  This is a REQUIREMENT.

[Arx]

PTW. Can I be dorfed as the bookkeeper?

[Dermonster]

[Deus Asmoth]

This seems interesting. I'd like a turn and a dwarf. Would you consider making the dwarves allow the butchering of sentients so we could build a tower out of the soap of our foes?

[4maskwolf]

If you remind me of how to do this, then yes.  Any preference of your dwarf's skillset?

[Karevos]

Please dworf me to. Maybe into crafter?

[Arx]

[ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER:ACCEPTABLE]

Possibly something with [EAT_SAPIENT_KILL] too.

[NAV]

Dorf me please.

[4maskwolf]

Dorf me please.

Any job preferences, or no preference?

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Has my claim on year 2 in the thread that spawned this idea has been remembered and kept?

[4maskwolf]

[Deus Asmoth]

No preference for skills here

15 Granite, 210

We have arrived at site that was selected.  Prospecting of the land indicated rich mineral wealth in addition to the abundant tress of the region, and a stream runs through the southwest corner of our site.  A basic survey of the site has been completed, and Deus Asmoth is beginning work on cutting down some of the trees that are clogging up the construction site while NAV begins a basic mining to construct blocks for our great tower.

19 Granite, 210

The exploratory shaft has struck the first cavern layer, and from there we can see a pit down the the second layer.  Without significant defense beyond our militia commander, I have order the breach to be momentarily sealed to prevent undesirables from showing up.

21 Granite, 210

Deus Asmoth has completed the woodcutting and has been instructed to produce beds.  Additionally, Karevos has begun work on wooden crafts to trade to the dwarven caravan in exchange for much needed food and drink.

23 Granite 210

The exploratory shaft has been completed, and localized mining is commencing to provide raw materials for the project.

4 Slate 210

A part of the mining region is being converted into a temporary barracks for us to sleep in, as I'd much rather sleep in a nice bed than on the hard ground.  Call it undwarvenly if you will, but my sensibilities tell me that I am above such discomforts.

12 Slate 210

Another completed portion of the mine has been converted into a temporary dining area and office space for Arx to work as fortress manager, bookkeeper, broker, and chief medical dwarf.

2 Felsite 210

I have begun construction of the road and bridge that will eventually become the main entryway into the fortress.  Meanwhile, Maxcat61 has begun military drills down in the barracks, although he is the only one that attends.

12 Felsite 210

A temporary finished goods stockpile has been set up to hold the crafts Karevos produces until a more permanent one can be established closer to the future site of the trade depot.
