Ah, sorry if it didn't seem clear ^^"

I snapped a little among this craziness, and decided to kill the 21 most depressive children of the fort. They were carefully selected for their extremely high stress levels (they were bordering insanity).

I told myself it was for the good of the fortress, that sooner or later one of them would snap and create a tantrum spiral.

And it fitted rather well with the "Tyrant" persona I improvised in all that crap. We could say he is my evil spiritual successor, as I died during my own turn

I have no regret haha.

I made a graph of the population and wealth of the two fortresses. I didn't graph the deaths because It was a little confusing.

As you can see, Fortress 2 is winning in the population category and was winning in the wealth category until the third year when Fortress 1 overtook them.

Ha. Ha. After seeing this graph, imagining our insane plummeting makes me laugh uncontrollably.

Interesting, it seems Fort1 is well-off on his way to prosperity.
I'm so jealous of this adamantine breastplate !

By the way, could I be dorfed in Fortress 1 ?

My dwarf's vanilla name is Erithag, that's all I know. And knowing the fate of Tosidfikod and Uzolrul in fort1 interests me a lot.

EDIT: Woops. Double-post.

Dorfing - This is a bit of a complicated fortress. If Deus doesn't see this message and check if you're present in Fort 1, I'll have a look at the save. Zipping programs don't seem to work on my computer (I just went through this whole thing in Immortal-D's experiment of a fortress) so I can't actually get into Fortresss 2 to make direct comparisons.

I welcome our Tyrant. Great job assuming his persona
Loved your spring report ! And that little reference to a certain cheese-maker...

I'm glad to see "Daeron" The Hand of the Tyrant is still doing his job right. The somber justice of the Tyrant shall fall upon the traitors.

And so much migrants ! I envy you.

I just want to clarify that an actual young female cheesemaker came, so that wasn't just a funny reference. She defies traditions and doesn't like being told what to do. Her skin is brown. If you ignore the fact that she's fat, married and has a child, she's just like Misty.

Also, I now know that the hammerer's quarters were not supposed to be for mayors/overseers. I messed up, but can no longer edit the descriptions because imgur is stupid (apparently you can't change the layout anymore either. Imgur is really stupid.)

Let's just say that the Tyrant "persuaded" the hammerer to move elsewhere.

Fortress 2 Stuff

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So the numbering really screwed things up and the save shows all kinds of corruption when I play it on my computer. But I think Origamiscience might still be alive.

Dragoni's youngest daughter is still alive, the only surviving member of the family. Her vanilla name is Bomrek Idenlibad.

The cook, Stakud, is in fact Dragoni's younger sister.

EoyaBosan is indeed still alive. His father was the axe dwarf, vanilla name Unib Ledosod, the current Commander of the militia. I still can't tell if the family was ever in Fortress 1 at all.

Dragoni apparently witnessed De's death shortly before his own demise.

I'm having a heck of a time finding anyone who knew De so I can't tell if any of my dwarfs relatives made it to Fort 2 or might still be living there.

Whoever did this name and profession thing really fucked us over when it comes to keeping track of who is who. I know that's not politic but you really, really did fuck it up whoever you are. Ahem.

Oh shit, I take it back. De is Urlance Woolsbanes aunt! Hahaha! So my relatives made it to the fortress after all.

My dwarf's last thoughts were that she was relieved to be near a waterfall. Isn't that nice? She lived to be all of 18. Her older brother apparently came to the fortress, bringing his children.

The engraver Deler is the only other survivor of the original 7 in Fort 2 aside from Origamiscience.

PS - Do we have a protocol for second turns? I could probably make this file work if I reverted it to ASCII and played it in the vanilla version of DF I keep on hand.

[origamiscienceguy]

I suppose you could have a second turn on the other fort if you want. You know what, I'll make this official.

Regarding Second Turns
If you want a second turn on the other fortress, let me know. However, new players will get their turns before yours. Your names will go on a waitlist and assigned once a fortress has run out of players.

Spoiler: fortress 2 note (click to show/hide)

Why are there so many children?!?!? Daniel, how many children and adults does the fort currently have?

[EoyaBosan]

I just caught up with the updates, and had a look around the uploaded saves to see how things turned out after my turn...

Fortress 2 comment:

It's... beautiful.

The bizarre haphazard structures all over the surface, the inexplicable flooding, the tyrants, the corpses; the misery... it's everything I love about succession fortresses. Watching great fortresses rise and fall, quickly or slowly, from threats internal or external, is what the game is all about, in my eyes. Losing is Fun!

Anyway, specific comments:

• I'm very glad to see the cavern draining problem is sorted out. I did feel a bit guilty about leaving that after my turn.
• The Monument has tasted blood! But you might want to remove the constructed floor blocking the shaft at the third cavern (that was just a temporary measure for draining the second cavern). That way things dropped from The Monument will fall all the way to the magma pool in the hammerer's quarters.
• Apparently my dwarf is in the military now. Oh well, frankly I'm surprised she survived this long in the first place...
• Don't worry about taking the hammerer's quarters; you're overseer, it's your fortress.

Also, I'd like to sign up for a second turn, if I may.

The fortress has a population of 106 dwarves, 48 of them are children.

48.

Forty-bloody-eight.

I think the gods demand another sacrifice.

Thanks for mentioning that floor blocking the shaft, EoyaBosan. Also, your dwarf was already a militia captain when I promoted her to a commander. Not sure what she's going to accomplish with that bone hammer though.

Speaking of the floor, I already deconstructed it. I realized after the first sacrifice that children weren't burning alive like expected, but rather exploded into gore. Which is far less clean.

Oh, and to follow the trend, I would like a second turn too please !

Spoiler: Fortress 1 Autumn. (click to show/hide)

Some goblins arrived at the beginning of Limestone, allowing us to put the new recruits and our armour to the test.



One of the recruits died, and two were injured in the fighting. Aside from that, I'd say it was a pretty decent result. We have enough whips to make a proper lasher squad now.

The dwarven traders later arrived, but their negotiator was a greedy bitch, so nobody gets anything.
